Post

A reader Is up against this
problem: II invited young won-
an whom I don't know well except
through letters, to come visit me
(and my family during the time
of a big local celebration this
summer. She accepted. I sent her
train and flight schedules, and
fare. Now she's written that she
is trying to lure a new boy-friend
into driving her and that of course
he would stay at the hotel but
be handy to 60 places with us
Frankly, this upsets my plans. It
will be a great inconvenience to
me to have this strange man tag
ging along everywhere. Is there
anything I can do?"
The only thing can suggest
is to write her frankly that il
would be very disappointing not
only to you but to the men you
would like her to meet, to have
a beau of her own monopolizine
her time, as he would undoubtedly
be doing.
Parents Announce Distont
Marriage
Dear Mrs. Post: My sister is
in the East and plans to be mar
ried there. She has written home
however, asking my parents to
send the engraved announcements
to list she is sending. Mother
thinks it will be strange for them
to send announcements to all
there people she doesn't know
She thinks my sister may be
wrong in asking them to do this.
Answer: Not at all. The names
of the brides parents should al
ways appear on announcements
whether they are sent to friends
or strangers.

Chicken Breed

Wingless chickens have been de-

lective breeding.
Mr.. Bauman, 80. has about 400
OF the wingless chickens.
The advantages?
Well, for one thing, Mr.. Bau-
man said. his birds have white
meat where others have only
bony wings. 1t makes them bet
ter eating.
And besides, no high fence is
needed to keep the chickens in
the yard. The birds can't fly at
all and Mr.. Bauman says they
can only high jump" 18 to 20
inches. A 2-foot barrier is high
enough.
Mr.. Bauman says the chickens
lay an average number of eggs.
but he says in time he expects
the breed will OUTLAY other chick
ems as well as produce more meat.
The reason is that the energy an
ordinary chicken wastes in use
less Tapping and flying about can
be utilized in production of meat
and eggs" he declared.
The breed isn't perfect yet, MIR.
Bauman said. He still gets about
five chickens with stubby little
wings out of every 100. Those
are carefully weeded out of the
breeding stock.

Another House Effort
To Repeal Taft Law
Favored by Truman
President Porries Query
On Whether He Would
Accept Compromise
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman said emphat-
! ically today that he would like to
see the House make another effort
to get through legislation repeal
ing the Hartley Labor Act
He parried a query as to whether
he would accept compromise on
that legislation, which was one
of the main points in his campaign
for reelection.
In a news conference comment,
the President recalled that con-
gressional leaders told him Tues
day that they would sound out the
possibilities OF reviving the labor
legislation which the House
shslved several weeks ago and in
answer to a query Mr.. Truman
amplified that he certainly would
like to see the measure brought
up again.
Since the House action the
Senate has killed an administra-
ton move to restore the Wagner
Act and has passed legislation
bitterly opposed by labor which
provides both for emergency seiz-
ure of struck industries and the
application of injunction pro-
ceedings to prevent shutdowns.
/ Administration leaders pointed
out that if the House passed some
sort of labor legislation it would
go to conference with the Senate
measure and an effort could be
made again there to produce a
measure palatable to the admin
istration. 1t was in connection
with the discussion on Capitol Hill
of compromise in this direction
that the President was asked for
his views.
Mr.. Truman also reiterated to-
day that he has inherent powers
under the Constitution to deal
with strikes without the use of
injunctions-a point he has con-
sistently made. This was brought
out when reporter wanted to
know why he didn't use these i'm
piled powers to deal with the
longshoremen's strike which has
paralyzed commerce in Hawaii.

is not in the United States.
