Bakers Alarm
Saves Sleeping
Town From Gas
BY the Associated Press

WARREN, Pa, Oct. 15.-Baker
Lowell McCann's quick action yes
terday probably saved this town of
1891 inhabitants from disaster.
At 2 am. Mr.. McCann noticed the
gas flames in his bread ovens had
f1ickered out. Ten minutes later gas
again hissed through the pipes
unlighted.
Mr.. McCann reasoned many un-
attended gas appliances in the
slumbering city might be pouring
unburnt gas into homes and apart
ments. He didn't wait.
He called Fire Chief Charles AL
baugh. Fire trucks, police cars and
ambulances sped through the dark
ened streets, sirens screaming. A
sound truck blared, Check your
gas. Check your gas"
Chief Albaugh said the desperate
'cacophony which woke the popula-
ton saved many lives. He said his
men found about 200 gas-filled
homes. Chief Albaugh personally
awakened at least SO" groggy citl-
zens. No one was overcome.
The Manufacturers Light & Heat
Co., serving the area blamed the
gas interruption on an air pocket
in the lines.

New Board Surveys
Draft Defermenf Plan
For Science Students
By John A. Giles

A detailed survey OF deferment
plans for scientific and professional
college students from the draft has
been started by new committee of
the Military Establishments Re-
search and Development Board, it
was learned today.
The committee, working on plans
for mobilizing scientific personnel in
event Of national emergency, con-
cluded two-day meeting yesterday
ut the Pentagon.
The committee believes that GER
tain scientific and professional fields
are overcrowded despite the fact
that numerous Socalled authorities
have mentioned a critical shortage
in all fields, one official said
The committee plans to canvas
these various fields and recommend
to the board and probably to Presi-
dent Truman, who should and who
should not be drafted on the basis
of actual needs.
Other Agencies Involved.
Involved in addition to the board,
are Selective Service, which looks
askance on any plans for further
widening of the already large range
deferments: the National Security
Recourses Board. whose duty it is to
advise the President on overall mo-
bilization plans; and the Munitions
Board, concerned with military
manpower needs.
The committee study of the indi-
vidual fields is somewhat different
from program by the Interdepart-
mental Committee on Research and
Development, which is designed to
win mass deferments for young stu
dents to maintain steady flow of
$4,000 prospective scientists in the
Nations schools and colleges.
To date, Selective Service has pro-
posed to exempt only those who fit
within the terms of set exemption
plan-namely certain doctors, den-
lists, osteopaths and veterinarians.
The interdepartmental committee,
fearing that all variety of scientists
would be picked of to fill the Army
ranks, are said to have enlisted the
aid of Presidential Assistant John
r. Steelman, who drafted a report
to the President.
Hershey Criticizes Proposal.
Selective Service officials state
that mass deferment of scientists
would in effect be "claSs discrimina-
ton" Maj. Gen. Leiws B. Hershey,
draft director, referred to anyone
who can mix two chemicals together
with a toy chemistry set" applying
for deferment in speech this
week before the American Trans
portation Association.
Officials at the Pentagon say that
Q number of the scientific fields
such as chemistry-have sufficient
manpower while others-nuciear
physics. for example-are in critical
need of additional people.
"The whole matter is very
burning question at the moment"
one official in Secretary of Defense
Forrestal's Office admitted.
DR.. Irwin Stewart, president of
West Virginia University, is chair
man Of the committee. Other mem
bers are DR.. James P. Baxter III,
president of Williams College; John
T. Connor, secretary and counsel,
Merck and Co.. Inc, Railway, N.
j., and DR.. William Macle, New
York University. q

NEW YORK, Nov. II (NANA).-
The great majority Of Americans In
all walks of life do not believe that
laws to give Negroes equal rights
with the whites is the best approach
to the racial problem. This was
found In a recent Psychological
Barometer survey made with per-
sonal interviews in cities and towns
from coast to coast, under the di-
rection of the Psychological Corp.
The question asked was this:
Which would do more for Ameri-
can Negroe@passing laws to give
them equal rights with the whites,
or q program to teach whites and
Negroes to get along together?"
The answers were:
Laws giving equal rights ------ IL
An educational program ------- II

to the Southern States is shown
when the answers are divided per-
centagewise into the main geo.

In an earlier survey this subject
was treated in a somewhat more

tion asked was:

prejudice and race hatred, which
one or two Of the following would
do the most good?"

Most yeast dough recipes call
for "about" so many cups Of en-

because different hours absorb

MISPLACED ovA IN HENS
By H. E. CUSHMAA

OIL killed a hen the StApx
day which had a great lump in
her insides. It looked something
like hard boiled eggs. I was
afraid to eat her so / threw her
away. Now what I want to know
is. if I should find another like
her would her meat be any good
TO eaf?-Mrs. E. A. D. Cascade
county.
A.-There is no reason why you
could not eat the bird. No doubt it
was hard boiled eggs just as you
described it. Some times the egg
yolk, at the time it is formed, drops
down into the abdomen, instead of
into the egg duct. The hens body
heat hard cooks the yolk material in
time. The only time I would not
eat a hen that had a lot of misplaced
ova in her, is when these ova or eggs
have created considerable inflamma-
ton, with the result that the lining
of the intestines is thickened and
the hens skin shows that she has
been running a temperature.
With thorough cooking even this
hen would cause no illness, but is

not rust right and would not get by
the pure food and drug people. I
have the feeling that anything which
will be pronounced "inedible" by the
pure food and drug people should not
be served on my table.
Oft looks as if egg prices
might be good this fall. So now
I am sorry that / did moi get
any chicks this spring. My old
hens are all in a molt and won't
be laying for quite a while. Do
you know of any place where I
might purchase some pullets?
If SO Will you have any idea
what I would have to pay for
them?-E. S. T.. Missoula county.
A.-Yes, you are in a bad way.
And don't you dare to tell me I did
not warn you last spring. When the
hatcheries had to close early because
they did not get their usual quota
of orders, we knew right then that
there was liable to be an egg short
age this fall.
But truly I don't know where 1
could locate any pullets for you. 1t
would only happen where some n
had to suddenly go out of the poul-
try business. And with present pros
poets / do not think any one in their
right mind would go out of the bust
less unless he had to-. I think I
would go on, ven if l had to navi-
gate on a pair Of crutches.
However, I will keep you in mind.
Let me know how many birds you
would like and the breed. AS to
price, it will be a sellers market.
In regard to the old hens which
you state are heavily in the mott, /
would suggest that you give them a
fairly high portein ration so that
they will grow their feathers faster.
Also if you note some of these hens
which have only been in the mott q
short time but are carrying a great
deal of yellow in their legs, it would
be well to get rid of them as soor
as possible because these never laic
enough yellow egg yolks to draw the
pigment out of their skin.
