Backs Virginia
Exchanges
Mossenburg Joined by
Richeson in Support
Of Campbell Plan
BY the Associated Press

The Campbell constitutional
amendments, which have provided
the powder for Virginia's usually
non-explosive general elections.
picked up a couple Of new public
supporters yesterday.
Democratic State Party Chair
man q. Alvin Massenburg came
out for the election law changes
and said the alteration to the
constitution us in the best inter-
est Of pure elections and in no
way does it hamstring or deter
any qualified citizens from the full
exercise Of their right to vote"
Adding his name to the list of
supporters also was State Senator
Frank s. Richeson of Richmond,
who directed the States rights
presidential campaign in Virginia
last year. He contended adoption
Of the amendments would, be a
step in favor of States rights.
Fears Federal Dictation.
Mr.. Richeson said if the amend
ments were defeated and the Con-
gress abolished the poll tax, then
he foresaw step-by- step dictation
by the Federal Government of the
conditions under which the States
might hold their elections.
On the anti-amendment side,
Delegate Robert Whitehead and
Martin A. Hutchinson, Richmond
attorney, joined In a statement
expressing their resentment at
being censured for alleged party
irregularity because they opposed
ratification Of the constitutional
changes. 49,.
They also said they felt the
question Of adoption or rejection
of the amendments should be a
partisan affair. The organi-
cation faction of the party had
solemnly asserted this same view,
they said, but took occasion to
campaign aggressively for the
amendments at meetings called
for the express purpose of getting
out the Democratic vote.
Battle Replies to Wise.
There was word, too, from John
S. Battle, Democratic nominee for
Governor, in reply to the recent
blast against him and the amend
ments from Republican Henry A.
Wise. :
Mr.. Wise. former COP national
committeeman from Virginia,
urged Republicans last summer
to enter the Democratic primary
and vote for Mr.. Battle. Thursday
night he urged the election of
Republican Walter johnson for
Governor and f1ayed the Demo-
cratic machine" and the amend.
ment proposals.
To this Mr.. Battle said: 1T
appears Mr.. Wise has resumed his
former role Of criticizing every
thing that is good in the Demo-
cratic Party, without any con-
structive thoughts" 49,, l.

Greeks Ready 10 Sail
After Ending Sitdown
Strike Atop Mast
BY the Assoeiated Prass

BALTIMORE. Nov. 5.-Three
Greek seamen who had chung to
its aftermast for "a hours worked
the stiffness from their joints to-
day as the freighter Aristocratis
prepared to set sail.
For the time being at least
they had won their fight to escape
repatriation to their native land.
They fear they will be punished
there for belonging to an outlawed
maritime union, DEMO.
Exhausted and cramped from
spending three and a half days
on the yard wide crossarm Of the
mast, they ended their nautical
sitdown strike yesterday.
A representative of the ship
owners had tried unsuccessfully
several times to convince them
they should leave their perch.
Finally a union secretary, Her.
cules Arnaoutis of New York,
forced his way aboard the ship
and dashed up a 50-foot ladder to
talk to them. After a short con-
versation, they followed him to
the deck. ...e >s...-
The shipping firm spokesman
said the Aristocratis will sail late
today stopping at. Philadelphia,
then proceeding to Formosa.
Whether the vessel is scheduled
to stop in Greece en- route to
Formosa or later was not dis
closed.
However, one of the mast-sit-
tiers. 30-year-old Sarantis Kan
thopolus, declared he will fight
any effort to repatriate him. His
companions on the crossarm were
Antonies Fafalies, 40, and An
tonios Margaziotis, 40. ~
These three and Stellios Larent-
Zakis, 40. had refused to sign
on for another trip aboard the
freighter because of a wage cut.
All four. were forbidden to land
in the United States by immigra-
ton service officials, who said
they were not considered bona
fide seamen."
The shipping company explained
it originally was planned to return
the men to Greece aboard another
ship because of the immigration
ruling and their refusal to sign
for the Formosa voyage.
1t was few hours before their
scheduled transfer to this ship
when the four men broke out Of
a cabin. Three mounted the mast
and Larentzakis. who said he was
too old for the climb, hid out in
the engine room.

Doctor Who Examined
Burgman in 1916 10
Testify on Insanity

The District Court treason trial
Of Herbert j. Burgman recessed
today. as the defense announced
plans to produce more medical
testimony showing that Burgman
was insane in 1916.
At yesterdays session, DIR.
Charles j. Centa of Cleveland
testified Burgman was examined
by an Army psychiatric board in
Wiesbaden, Germany, in 1916. DR..
Centa recalled he was pronounced
mentally Incompetent at the
time and unable to distinguish
between right and wrong"
: Burgman, a former clerk at the
United States Embassy in Ber-
lin, has admitted he remained in
Germany during World War II
and that he made propaganda
broadcasts over Nazi short-wave
Station DEBUNK under the name
Of Joe Scanlon.'' ..-
DR.. Centa said he had served as
president of a three-man examin-
ing board, which diagnosed Burg
mans condition as "schizophrenic
reaction" He said, however, he
had not examined the prisoner
himself, but had merely con-
CURED with the examination of
another board member after a
brief interview with Burgman.
Examiner To Testify.
The medical officer who made
the examination, DR.. James F..
Dyde of New York City, also has
been subpeonaed by the Defense
and is expected to testify when
the trial is resumed on Monday.
Under questioning by both de-
Tense and prosecution attorneys,
and then by Judge Alexander
Holtzoff, DR.. Centa described
schizophrenia as "a type of mem
tai illness which falls in the cate
CORY of the insanities." He said
schizophrenia is durable, and that
sometimes it is possible for a
patient to recover "spontane-
ously" from the affection. Burg
man has been pronounced sane
since his return to this country
last spring. So far, the defense
has not questioned the validity
of that f1nding).
DR.. Centa said he could form
no opinion as to Burgman's sanity
during the time covered in the in
.dietment for treason.
Admits Preparing Material.
Continuing cross-examination
Of the defendant. Chief Prosecu-
tor William A. Paisley drew adj
missions from Burgman that he
had taken a part in the prepare
ton Of some Of the material used
in the propaganda broadcasts.
What did you expect to accom-
plish by this?" asked Mr.. Paisley.
II didn't expect to accomplish
anything" Burgman replied.
What effect did you think they
would have over here?"
Il didn't think they had any
effect. =. Like the other people
working at the short-wave sta
ton, I believed that the programs
were trash, and had no use."
Asked why the other members
OF the station continued working
there, Burgman replied:
They did it In order to dodge
the draft"

poultry improvement work, was at
a regional meeting recently, it was
the opinion of most of the state in
sp~ectors that hatcheries are already
pretty well booked up for the sea-
son. So it might be well for you to
take care of your chick orders right
away.
But ordering chicks is just one
way of making what is written on
those bright new pages, a success
story. There is also the matter of
management at just the right time
and in the right place.
OF course the number one job is
getting the brooder house in readi-
ness, and having it thoroughly
cleaned. Have you checked your
thermostat and thermometer? Do
you know that the stove pipe is
cleaned and free of SCOT? After the
war years when we just couldn't get
materials, are there some repairs
on windows, floor or roof that should
be made before a new bunch of
chicks is put in this year? All these
matters may spell the difference be-
tween success and failure with your
baby chicks.

Plan, Act Now for Maximum
Poultry Profits in 1919
Poultry Department
By HI. E. CUSHMAN

AGAIN WE have a new year, 36s
beautiful new and untouched days.
Of course some of these days are
going to get twisted this way and
that, in spite of all our precautions
and efforts, but what we plan and
what we do a make a vast diff
ference in the results of the year..
For example, we all realize that
unless we get our chicks on time
we are not going to get eggs next
fall when prices are high. Yet, would
you believe it, every fall I find some
one abiding that the hatchery could
not supply them early chicks, so
they had to take them when they
could get them. But if you get right
down to cases, you will find out
that they put off ordering the chicks
until all the good dates for delivery
were taken. If one would just plan
a little, the accomplishments of the
year could be much greater.
Order Chicks Now
Talking about ordering chicks,
please take a tip. When Mr.. Beck

Plan Summer Range

Also have you planned just where
you are going to range the young
stock this season2 Perhaps you
should seriously think Of that when
you are making plans for your crop
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-01-15

would hate to have the chicks ready
to go out ON the field and have no
field to put them on.
Most surely you do not want TO
put them where they were last year
or even where they were in 1947.
Besides, when you are thinking of a
good place to put them you should
think of the ease of handling them
there. Don't put them way off in a
corner by a coulee where coyotes
can sneak up without your knowl-
edge nor yet where there is NO shade,
if shade is plentiful on the ranch.
Perhaps the most important thing
to consider is how you are going to
increase your labor income. I think
there is nothing which will brighten
up the 1949 sheet than a nice profit.
After all that is what we keep poul-
try for.
We have just finished summarize
ing the records of the 1948 demon
stration farm project. In the sum-
mary we analysed the effect of
various factors as they affect labor
income. 1t might be a good time to
consider some of these as you are
making plans for 1949.
Profitable Flock Size
First there was the matter of size
of flock. We found that those who
had more than 200 birds in their
flock made almost a dollar more
per bird than those who carried be-
tween 100 to 200. Those that had
under 100 made even less. The rea-
son is two fold. When you have a
lot of birds you have enough money
tied up in the venture that you are
bound to care for your investment.
Then there is the matter of cutting
down overhead with more birds. A
couple of hundred birds will be able
to make more efficient use of their
feeders, water fountains and lights.
Also you are going to use just as
much gas and oil in taking one case
VI 1853 w tOW1A 90 yOo WOAAo IL JOo
took in a half a dozen cases. So when
you are getting your chicks and MAX
ing plans for the year, you might
seriously consider keeping and eco
nomical number of birds in the flu
ture.
Then there is the matter of the
percent of pullets in the flock. 1t
makes no matter what the books say,
each year we find the people who
keep an all-pullet flock make more
money than those who have part
old hens. 1t may be if they had
separate houses to keep the old hens
in, it would make some difference.
Also, if the old hens were culled
eve so carefully and their feeding
habits watched so that they would
not put on too much fat and there
fore no drop in production, a pullet-
hen flock could be made to pay out
!. just as well.
