LONDON, Dec. IA. London's
power strike, threatening an al
most total blackout, Is having
some weird effects in the life OF
this metropolis.
At the Dagenham greyhound
track the electric rabbit wavered
and stopped in the middle Of a
race. Bookmakers took bets on
how many minutes it would take
before the power returned and set
the rabbit going again.
At the height of last nights
blackout hospitals without emer-
gency lighting had to light their
operating room with flashlights
candles and kerosene lanterns.
In one hospital porters pumped
iron lungs by hand to keep two
patients alive.
Wildcat strikers in four Of Lon
don's biggest nationalized power
houses called on fellow workers
today to spread the strike to every
plant in the city.

Strike Makes Bookies in London
Bet on Stalled Electric Rabbit

Some of the 2,700 strikers were
out in protest against the govern
ment's sending of troops to op-
crate the Brimsdown plant when
powermen there walked out over
a wage dispute.
Although the uniformed army.
navy and air force men were
struggling to keep the plants
operating. London's power was
seriously cut. The Fuel Ministry
issued emergency orders similar to
those of the war days, ordering
the populace to cut electricity use
to a minimum.
At dawn the four struck plants
were putting out only so per cent
of their capacity, causing lights to
go out in some parts of the city
and surrounding counties, forcing
hospitals to turn on emergency
plants and slowing down the city's
transportation system.
The strike started in protest
against a government plan to
deduct wage increases from spe-
cial bonuses the men formerly re-
ceived for working in hotter and
dirtier places.
The strikes are termed illegal
by the government and union
leaders do not support the strike.

Mr.. Davis told police he was
changing clothes in the basement
after working in his yard and had
left his wallet containing the
money on a bench when he went
up to answer the doorbell.
The two men forced him back
into the living room and asked,
Where is the money!" Mr.. Davis
replied, what money!"

over him while the other searched
the house, took the money from
Mrs. Davis purse and found the

Nurse Imposter PreYing
On New Mothers Hunted
By the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l2.-
Hospital authorities warned today
against an apparently deranged
woman who tries to make new
mothers think they may have
cancer-then offers dangerous
medical advice.
The San Francisco Hospital
Conference said the advice caused
one woman to hemorrhage. Blood
transfusions were required to save
her life.
Identity of the nurse impostor
and the reasons why she calls
new mothers are mystery.
For more than nine months she
has been telephoning women just
home from the hospital. She calls
herself Nurse Collins" and ther
says something like this:
Before you got away from the
hospital. we suspected you had
cancer"
The imposter suggests a test
which doctors said was meaning
less but which might produce
serious bleeding in a woman who
has just had a child.
Hospital authorities said they
had no clues as to the identity
Of the woman.

we're quick to call the program the

The issue, as they see it, will be
just how far American farmers want

trolls in return for a promise of gov
eminent subsidies if prices drop be-
low a predetermined level.
Stated detectives of the Brannan
bill are:
l. Stabilize farm income and farm
prices at a fair level, thereby pro-
tecting the purchasing power of
farmers and assuring a high level
of employment.
2. Protect the national security by
maintaining adequate supplies of ag-
ricultural commodities and by keep
ing the national agricultural re-
sources permanently productive.
8. Provide an adequate, balanced
and orderly flow of agricultural
commodities in interstate and for

sumers by maintaining a continuous

commodities at fair prices.

Keeping in Touch With Washington
Protect Pork to Peas

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Bran
a farm program, as finally spelled
out in proposed legislation the Sec
rotary of agriculture sent to con-
gress, has turned out to be more of
a blanket over the nations farm
economy than it appeared 10 be
when he first outlined the plan sew
eral weeks ago.
What the secretary is actually
asking is authority to place gov
eminent controls over every
thing in agriculture from bees to
beefsteak and from cabbage to
cotton.
Marketing quota provisions which
now apply to only six major crops
corn, wheat, cotton, tobacco, pea
nuts and rice-would be extended
across the board to take in virtually
every agricultural commodity.
Commodities to which the Bran
a program would extend quota
authority are:
Livestock, including hogs, cattle
and lambs.
Poultry, including chickens, tur-
keys and eggs.
Whole milk and butterfat.
Honey, honey bees, gum naval
stores, corn production outside the
commercial corn area, barley, oats,
rye, grain sorghums, flaxseed, soy
beans, dry edible beans, grass seed.
Vegetables, including potatoes,
dried fruits and deciduous fruits.
AS in the case of commodities now
subject to sales quotas, controls
would have to be approved by at
least two-thirds of the producers
voting in a referendum.
But if controls were turned down.
there would be no government price
support.
Brannan wrapped up his new farm

1t was American railroad initia-
tive, too, that brought to the
nations farmers the agricultural
demonstration train with its lee
lures, exhibits, demonstrations and
free bulletins-products of college
classroom and laboratory.
This is something beyond the
routine job of seeing that cars ar
rive promptly for harvest =. that
foodstuffs are properly iced en-
route -. or that livestock gets fed
and watered on the way to market.
In seeking to improve their SER
vices, the railroads strive constantly
to help themselves by helping
others still more. And this practical
viewpoint has made the American
railroads the most efficient, most
economical, self-supporting mass
transportation system in the world.

reduction of sewer service rates
the Fairfax County Board Of
Supervisors has been told.
The bond issue would provide
funds for the purchase Of the
Federally- owned Holmes Rur

cost of $500.000: extension of ex.
isting sewer facilities in the dis.
trict, and erection of a sewage

Sanitary Engineer James j

is helping draft the proposed
issue, told the supervisors Tues
day it may be possible to reduce
the monthly sewer service charge
from So to $1.50.
He said it may be necessary tc
levy a 15-cent additional tax in
the district to help repay the bond
issue.
Based on an average assessment
of $4,000 in the district, Mr.. Cor
balls explained an average Of $2.2s
