Dairy farmers have always been
plagued with shy breeders -
COWS that will not produce calves
at regular l2-month intervals,
The resulting loss in milk produc-
tion costs American dairymen
from 5,000,o 900 10 sl25 900 900
each year.
At last the problem OF shy
breeders" is being studied by sci
entists at the Agriculture Depart
ment Research Center at Belts
vile. Md. There are no answers
yet. but scientists hope that the
work being done with herds in
the Washington area will solve
this major problem.
The work at BeltSyille is under
the direction of Dr.. A. H. Frank.
a quiet researcher who is seeking
the answer 10 why some COWS
fail to breed regularly. DR.. Frank
is working with nearly 1000 COWS
Of both dairy and beef breeds IN
more than 80 herds In the area.
Rather than conducting laoora-
tory experiments alone, he is at
tempting to solve the problem at
its base-the farm.
In his work. II 1t Is to be sue
cessful, DIR. Frank must depend
on his herd owners for meticulous
cooperation. Each cow is given
an individual history card, and
each animal must be watched
closely between visits by the doc
tor. Improper records could
easily mar the entire experiment.
For example. at recent visit
to the farm of j. Churchill New
comb, a cooperating herd owner
near Purcellville. Va. DR.. Frank
first heard a detailed report OF
the behavior OF each COW in MIR
<Newcomb's milking Shorthorn
herd since his previous visit.
Then followed examinations OF
all animals with recommendations
Ffor treatment to be followed
Through by Mr.. Newcomb.
One theory being considered by
DR.. Frank is that the unsucess-
full breeding of cows may be
caused by some unknown disease

ical messages of organs and in

"A remodeled schoolhouse is
home for Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Boswell Of Lebanon, Ind, but il
no longer resembles the one
room country school building in
which children years ago learned
their reading, 'riting and 'rithme-
tic.
Extensive rem odeling has
transformed the abandoned struc-
tnre. which had stood neglected
on a corner of the BoswelPs
farm, into a well-proportioned,
five-room dwelling. It includes a
IL by 34-foot living room, with
a picture window and a fireplace,
and other extra conveniences
such as sun deck on top of the
garage and a second-foor den.
The old schoolhouse was high
and awkward-looking. The first
step in remodeling was to take
off the roof and cut down the
walls so that the original 14-foot
ceiling could be dropped to 8
feet. Enough bricks were saved
TO build the wing containing the
garage, the utility room and the
den above the utility room.
The new roof was built at a
lower pitch than the original
schoolhouse roof. As roofing ma
terial, the Boswells chose fire
resistant asphalt shingles in a
green blend which harmonizes
with the rural setting. Color con-
frast was achieved by painting
the brick sidewalks white.
eCost of the remodeling was
surprisingly little" Mrs. Boswell

 When the Senate convened to- day, Wherry brought the matter up again.
 "I ask the question:" Wherry said, "are we to share the atomic bomb, it's secrets, and the know how? Will they Cthe other pact members) have the right to them? Is there a moral or legal commit rent to do that very thing?'
 Wherry pleaded that the. Senate adopt a reservation he and Sen ators >Taft R.-Ohio) and Watkins R.-Utah) are sponsoring. It would say that the treaty does not com init the United States to give mill. tary aid to pact nations.
 By adopting it, Wherry declar- ed "the door is tightly, firmly closed against any moral or legal obligations upon the United States to furnish the atomic bomb or any of the materials or knoW-hoW in the making of it."
 The administration plans to submit a $l ,45O,OOO,OOO arms aid program to Congress later. At the Presidents news conference, a re- porter asked when it would go to the Capitol. MT Truman said as soon as it is ready. He gave no clue when that would be.
 The program is generally ex- pected to go up soon after the treaty is ratified-perhaps tomor- row. The Senate vote on the treaty is ratified.
