New Poultry Breeding
Techniques Seen in
- ~ So r~-s' .ff*Et g..
Be|tsvi||e Experiment

The Agriculture Department poul-
try experimental station at Belts
vile, Md, has raised an artif1cially-
bred white pullet in an experiment
which may lead to new techniques
in chicken breeding ana improve
ment of stock.
" The hen, which has not yet
reached the egg-laying stage, has
all the characteristics of cross
between White Leghorn and Dark
Cornish strains, although it Matched
from an egg laid by Rhode Island
Red hen.
To accomplish this, poultry spe-
cialists removed portions OF the
ovary from a White Leghorn and
permitted the femal germ cell-the
ovum-to mature in an open dish.
The ovum then was placed in the
oviduct of the Rhode Island hen
and was fortified by treated sperm
from several Dark Cornish ROSTERS.
The Rhode Island hen served
merely as host for the egg that de-
veloped and subsequently was incu-
bated, but none of her characteris-
tics were transmitted to the new
born chick.
The experiment was undertaken
by DR.. NARROW w. Olsen, poultry
husbandman at the station, and his
assistant, B. H. Neher. 1t proved
among other things, that fertiliza-
ton in chickens takes place in the
oviduct, similar to other warm
blooded animals, and not at the
ovary, as some had suspected.
Officials said they could see no
immediate portent of mass artificial
dissemination practices among poul-
try growers but the experiment does
provide valuable research data
which may improve techniques in
breeding better chickens.
Several other similar experiments
failed to end successfully. Some
eggs incubated to about is days
while others reached only the 2-to-3
day stage. Because the pullet that
did hatch has not reached the egg
laying stage no observations have
yet been made of the effects Of the
experiment on its offspring.

ANSWER TO AGGRESSION
(The Christian Science Monitor

(The Christiun Science Monitor)
 THE ECOUNTERMOBILIzATION of power which Rus
 sian expdnsonism has prompted will not cease because Moscow hos opened q peace offensive. The Senate Foreign Relations Committees unanimous recommendation thd the United States pledge mili- tory aid defensive ullidnces in the oes response to the essentially unpeuceful offensive pushed by the Kremn since the war. So too are its proposals for strengthening United Nations curbs on dggres- sion.
 In the recent Smith-Mootov exchange of notes the Russdn Foreign Minister injected vigorous pro- tests against American support for the fivepower ''Western Union. although formal action had been token in Washington. Now Sendtor Vdnden- bergs committee proposes to spell it out. This might appear to be revolutionary step in American for eign policy, for the pledge of aid means pdrtcipd- ton in what should be honestly recognized on dllidnce
 It may even be called an entangling alliance although the "entdngling" interests already exist and would continue in any case so thdt the oliance is only way of mdking it cledr thdt those interests will be defended Thdt could be much sdfer thon permitting repititionn of the mstuke thut Hitler made in assuming thdt America would not realize its security wos involved and would not move to defend western civilization.
 This project for the "ossociution of the United States by constitutional process" with such regiono defense groups "os affect it's ndtiondl security" is only part of q program to restrain aggression with in the LIN. In addition the Committee proposes thdt the United States press for LIN police force and for voluntary limitations on the veto and eventually q revision of the Charter. \
 The pdn for military aid is likely to have great immediate effect thdn any other part of this pro- grdn. For it could do in the mitdrY field whdt the Morshdll Pldn is doing in the economic rebuilding of Europe It seems to thdt everything which strengthens western Europe - morally. economic ally. mliturilY and politically - raises buffer be- tween Russid and the United States and improves the prospects of peace Anything which frees west ern Europe from the fear of aggression helps to store bdldnce of power - and of purpose - and make general settlement feasible.
 There is in Europe perhoph more feor of indi- rect thon of direct aggression. And militdrY did is only indirectly deterrent to indirect aggression To check political pressures and penetrdtions. some thing more is needed.

Forest Service Calls For Bids On Pulp Timber
Continued from Page One)

1. Show resources of at least $8,OOO,OOO available for plant con- struction.
 2. Qualify for a federal power license.
 Each bid for the contract must be accompanied by $25,00O bank or certified check. The successful bidder must deposit an additional $75,O0O within a week after his offer is accepted.
 The Forest Service has estima- ted construction of a pulp mill, power plant, houses and other fa- cilities will cost $3O,O00,000 to $40,- OOO,OOO.
 The, proposed contract for the sustained-yield harvest of 1,50O,- 100000 cubic feet of pulp timber calls for installation of not less than 15O tons day.
 Within five years this is to be increased to at least 300 tons, and within ten years it may be raised to 525 tons day.
 Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug has estimated that AL aska's forests could supply in per petuity up to 25 per cent of the US. neWsprint demand.
 The Aug. 2 offering is for most of the timber of the Prince of Wales Island north of Hydaburg, Craig and KlaWak, and for small Ter tract on Revillagigdeo Island 20 to 40 miles north of Ketchikan.
 The lowest acceptable bid, the Forest Service said, is 85 cents for 100 cubic feet for timber in tended for pulp manufacture be- fore July l, 1862.
 Also for the initial 10-year per iod, for material to be manufaC- tured or sold in other forms than pulp or its products, these fixed rates will apply:
 $3 per 1000 board feet for spruce, $1.50 for cedar, $2 for hemlock and other species, and from 1 to l 1/2 cents per lineal foot for piling and poles.
 The rates are subject to read justment in 1862 and at five-year, intervals thereafter, to meet the changes in market conditions.
 Of the timber offered, all with in the Tongass National Forest, 75 per cent is western hemlock and the rest Sitka spruce except for small amounts of Alaska cedar and western cedar. "The operable stand per acre. the Forest Service said, lis be- tween 10000 and 25,O0O board feet or $500 and 4,5OO cubic feet, "The timber is well suited for manufacture into pulp. Possibly IS per cent of it may be found more valuable for manufacture into lumber ,plywood, shingles or piling.
 Veneer logs, saw logs, pulp logs, cord wood and other primary for est products may not be shipped for manufacture outside Alaska without the consent of the Re- gional Forester.
 The Forest Service has reserved the right to hold not more than 10 per cent of the merchantable timber in the area for seed trees. II
