When is grain dry enough to
combine?
Extension specialists at Ohio
State University say this question
can be quickly and easily answered
by any farmer by making a simple
test.
All that is needed is a few ounces
of ammonium chloride, which can be
obtained from any drugstore as
druggists use it in making cough
syrup. This chloride salt must be
kept in an air-tight container until
used.
To make the test, place half
teaspoonful of the salt in a small
dry bottle and cork it tightly, and

College Y. M. C. A. Conference Sends
Protest On Cara Case To Washington

The intercollegiate Y. M. c. A
conference in session at Lake Geneva
Indiana, last week sent protest to
Attorney General Tom Clark on the
handling of the case of Larry Cara,
Bluffton college instructor now serv-
ing term in the federal prison for
violation of the peacetime selective
service act.
Cara, who was convicted in the
Federal court in Toledo on a charge
of counselling Charles Rickert, Bluff
college student, not to register for
the peacetime draft was sentenced to
Is months in Federal prison.
Following his conviction Cara was
denied bail pending appeal of his
case to higher court.
The following petition was dis
patched to AttorneyGeneral Clark:
"We, the undersigned, are con-
cerned about the Imprisonment of
Professor Larry Cara of Bluffton
College, Bluffton, Ohio, on charge
of counselling Charles Rickert, presi-
dent of the college YMCA, not to
register for the Selective Service
Act of 1948. We wish to express
grave concern over the violation of
religious and civil liberties, and the
denial of the expression of conscien-
tious conviction involved in this trial
Eve are members of many Christ
ian groups on many midwest college
and university campuses. We repre-
sent great many different attitudes
toward military service. However,
we do unite in expressing concern
about:
"G) The sentencing of Larry Cara
to eighteen months in prison
for counselling Charles Rick
ert not to- register, even
though Rickert had already
informed his draft board oi
his intention not to register
before he ever met Professor
Cara;
"(2) The right of any person tc
discuss his religious beliefs
with another, and to advise
another to follow the dictates
of his conscience.
"(3) The denial of bail to Professor
Cara
"The Toledo Blade commented
editorially on March is, 1949, that
it seemed to US that mighty nation
had gone out of its way to punish
a peace loving man. 1t seems in,
credible that Mr. Cara has beer
denied bail in both the Toledo court
and the Court of Appeals in Cincin-
natl, Ohio, when men guilty of serious
crimes are often allowed to be free
on bail.
"If a man who merely encourages
another to be true to his conscience
in relation to conscription is guilty
of breaking the law and subject to
Imprisonment, then religious liberty
is dead letter in this country.
eve shall be profoundly interested
in the outcome of this appeal of Lar
ry Cara, and we earnestly petition
your support concerning the above
three points in order that justice may
be secured to preserve the American
concepts of civil rights and religious
liberty"

Simple Test Determines If
Grain Is Ready For Combine

take it to the field. Shell out a
handful of kernels from a head of
grain and fill the bottle about two
thirds full, and cork again.
Shake the bottle 90 times, or for
about half a minute, and watch
the ammonium chloride.
If it still runs freely after the
shaking, the grain is dry enough
to harvest with a combine.
If the. salt sticks to the side of
the bottle, the grain will spoil in
storage if harvested. To make the
test on soy beans, cut the beans in
half with a knife before putting
them in the bottle.

Calls Meeting Of
Policy Committee

Washington (LPA) - President
John l.. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers, in a sudden move on Nov
l, called a meeting of the UMW's
25O-man Natl Policy Committee at
the Hotel Sheraton in Chicago on
Nov. z.
In kilograms to all UNIV dis
tricts, Lewis said that the commit
tee would shave before it reports
of negotiating representatives here
tofore engaged in various confer
ences, and the Policy Committee
will exercise it's discretionary
powers in the authorization of fur
ther procedures.
There was no direct mention of
the six-week bituminous coal walk
out or of the prospects for full set
tlement of the strike against the
steel industry which interlocks with
coal. Nor did UNIV president in
dicate what the reports might con-
tain.
Talks between the union and the
northern and western operators at
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
were broken off two weeks ago
when the operators walked out.
Talks with southern operators at
Bluefield, w. Va, have continued
although they have been recessed
much of the time.

Insurance Firms
To Pay A Little
On Huge Profits

Washington (LPA)-The big life
insurance companies, with total
assets of more than $4,000, ,000,-
600, have agreed to pay little
and very little-toward supporting
the government through taxes.
Long negotiations. between the
Treasury, Congress, and the insur-
ance companies eliminated this
week with the announcement by
Chairman Walter A. Lynch Cd,
N. " of the House Ways & Means
subcommittee, that the insurance
companies had agreed to pay $780,
100000 in taxes out of their $4,-
500, 100000 of profits during 1947,
1913, and 1949.
Under present law, which was
written at the behest of the insur-
ance lobby, the companies had to
pay no taxes during these three
years on their huge incomes from
investment. The treasury object
ed to this blanket exemption for
perhaps the richest industry in
America, and so the Ways & Means
Committee set up Lynch's subcom-
mittee to see what could be done.
The life insurance companies
were called in to negotiate. They
tried to get away with much
smaller contribution, but after
sharp warnings from Lynch agreed
to the $90,000,000 figure. This tax
plan must yet be approved by Con-
gress, but Lynch indicated he
would ask approval at the begin
ming of the January session.
Two things stand out about the
agreement. First, the tax agreed
upon amounts to about two per
cent on the income of the compan-
les as compared with 38 per cent
paid by corporations generally.
Second, this rate was determin-
ed in negotiations with the COM
paries, rather than proposed by
the government, as most taxes are.
The life insurance industry has
long had one of the most powerful
lobbies in Washington-supported
by the millions of people who hold
life insurance and can be rallied to
any special interest drive,
no matter how unjustified, if the
can persuade them they
are about to get taken.
