As Oil Strikers Vote
To Accept Agreement
BY the Assoeioted Press

TEXAS CITY, Tex, Jan. 10.-Six
tankers waited in Texas City harbor
tonight to be loaded with oil for the
fuel-short Eastern seaboard as union
members ratified an agreement end
ing a Today strike of oil refinery
and pipeline workers.
The strike had held up delivery Of
millions of gallons of fuel oil needed
in the Eastern States.
Terms settling a dispute which
had idled 1,640 striking members of
the Oil Workers International Union
employed by the Pan American Re-
fning and Pipeline Companies were
announced by the Federal Mediation
Service early today.
Tankers to Load.
Paul Miller, chief of coordination
for Pan American Refinery, said
plans were made to start loading
tankers at am. tomorrow.
He said it would take several
days to reach capacity. Two more
tankers were reported due to arrive
tomorrow. The company ships
per cent of its products by pipeline
and 95 per cent by boat. Heating
oils go by boat, Mr.. Miller ex-
planned.
Before the strike, which began
In the refinery here January /
Pan American shipped approximate
ly 2,500,000 gallons of heating oils
daily to the Eastern seaboard.
The agreement calls for retention
of a 22-cent an hour cost of living
allowance which had been granted
workers a year ago, and the 12-
cent an hour wage increase on top
of that. The union originally had
asked for a 28-cent increase in
addition to the % cents.
Agreement Ends June l.
Joe D. Magee, secretary. of the
local, said the conference resulted
in adjustments in working classifi-
cations ranging from increases OF
~ cents to Is cents hourly.
He said there were "a. working
classifications at the refinery and
pipeline.
The agreement will be in force un-

panies."

Long Islander Gives
AID Blood Donation
AT { Street Center

When the Red Cross blood dona.
ton workers need a TRANSMISSION foi
their spirit, they can remember the
postman from Long Island.
A perfect stranger, he dropped
into the center at 1880 E street NV
last week and gave pint of blood
He said his name was S. H. Schnei-
der and this was the 42d time he
had given his blood that Others
might live.
Altogether, 218 men and women
donated blood in the opening week
of the program intended to provide
10000 pints to Washington hospitals
Rudolph M. Evans, chairman ot
the blood donor committee, said
that average was not high enough
to meet quotas.
200 Is Weekly Mark.
eve have set 200 as weekly mark
for the first two months, and hope
gradually to build up to a weekly
figure that will enable us to meet all
Metropolitan Washington's needs,
he said.
Until an adequate supply is on
hand, the blood will be used only
for emergency cases and to supply
the Mt. Alto Veterans Hospital.
Among those who gave last week
were 16 Yellow Cab drivers, who
parked their cabs near the center,
rolled up their sleeves for their do
nations, and then drove off to busi-
ness as usual
Honor of becoming the first donor
went to Miss Donna Jeanne Kemper,
a proofreader at the FBI. She drew
with a number of her friends and
won the lead-off position.
War Figures Recalled.
Recalling that $500 blood donors
a week was not unusual during the
war, workers reminded Washing
tonians that only one-fifth that
number are needed to make the
present campaign a success.
The new Blood Center is reserving
Mondays for individual blood donors
and groups will be given appoint
ments on other days of the week,
Mr.. Evans announced yesterday.
Naturally, We shall be glad to
make appointments for individual
blood volunteers on other days of
the week, If Monday is not con-
venient," Mr.. Evans added.
The Red Gross will provide station
wagon transportation for groups of
donors to and from the center.
Appointments may be made by
telephone at District 5042 by pros
pective donors, who may be from
18 to go in age. Those under 81
must have the written consent of
a parent or guardian.

established that Mr.. Wallace's name

the living standards we set. Every
body has a stake in permanent
agriculture"
Grassland is, according to the
many experts who have contribut-
ed to this volume, the foundation of
security in agriculture.
Grasslands, by the sheer force of
their need, have increased from an
original 700 million acres to the
present billion. Believers in grass
expect that acreage to be in
creased, and l have no doubt that
this book will help.
Grass means to these stu
dents of the Gramineae fam

cane, sorghum, millet, barley,
oats, many of the sod crops
which provide forage or pas
turage and the associated leg
umes. clover, lespedezas. al
falfa and others.
The trend toward grassland ag-
riculture in America existed for
some 10 years but was interrupted
for intensive cultivation during the
war Now it is increasing again,
according to Carbon who has been
engaged in agriculture research
since 1910. But he points out that
grassland agriculture supple
ments rather than replaces other
farm production for example,
livestock production. with which it
is inseparably linked.
Grassland agriculture" he
says, under good management
may equal or increase the produc-
ton of digestible nutrients, reduce
materially the labor needed to
grow them and lower the cost of
supplying protein necessary to
nourish animals"
There are many interesting and
widely varying chapters, progress
ing from the general to the more
specific. The editor, Alfred Steff-
erud, has summarized the book as
separated into four parts. The first
is an examination of grass as it
applies to people anywhere with the
emphasis on livestock and soils
and conservation. Forage for live
stock, the use and value of pas

The general trends In America
have been less obstructed by exter.
nal influences.
"Grass" is a book for CITY,
man as well as farmer, and
among the vast compilation of
data resulting from experiment,
record and research, there are
even a few pages given to
panegyric whose poetic fervor
makes up for what may be a
lack of purely scientific back
ground.
l can't help quoting from the ar
ticle, "In Praise of Blue Grass"
by John James ingalls, who was
senator from Kansas from 1873 to
1891. 1t is reprinted from the Kan

in 1872, and has been widely quoted
ever since.

1T sure is a beaut, Pa" He
held it upright between his legs all
the way home.
All afternoon they could hear the
crack of the new rifle echoing down
the range. Then toward evening
there was long period of silence.
When they called him for supper
he pushed open the screen door
and shuffled inside. His sigh was
heavy. Pa looked up with an un-
derstanding smile.

swallowing the lump in his throat.
His mother filled his plate with
pancakes. He didn't even know they
were there. Through the screen
door he could hear his sheep being
loaded into the battered old truck.
A rifle was better anyway. When
his father footed the horn he got

eyes away from the back of the

no longer. Pa" he burst out,

window while his father sold them.
When the man took them away he
swallowed hard, then shook his
head. His father handed him the
money and they drove off.

minute later he came back out
wearing proud smile.

THE RIFLE

walls of the old log cabin weren't
built for eavesdropping. After a
while he heard the sounds of their
going to bed and the house was
silent. He lay there staring miser-
ably at the ceiling, his mind filled
with the deep aching and despair
that goes with wanting the unat-
tainable. Finally his tired little
brain could stand no more and he
fell into a restless sleep.
The early morning sunlight
streaming across his face woke
him. He started to jump up, then
remembered the rifle and sank
back. The sounds of hungry ami
mails edged around his conscious
ness. He could hear Pete, Blackie
and Joe, his lame sheep, bleating
for him. At least, he shrugged his
shoulders, I've got them.

hobbled over to his side. He slipped
one arm around Pete's neck and his

crawled down into the ravine in
search of him. He stood there a
