One reason revenues for the gen eral fund would not be coming in for some time was the halt on fish trap license payments. District Judge Folta last Saturday granted a temporary injunction restraining the tax collector from collecting these taxes until hearing could be had on the validity of the act passed by the last Legislature which quadrupled the amount of the license fee Action had been brought by the P. E. Harris comp any and other trap owners on grounds that the law was confis- catory and discriminatory. The new challenged law would have raised S53O,0O0 this year and about a like amount next year, over mil lion dollars for the biennium. Act ually $4,00O had been collected in fish trap license fees since the first of the year. Now nobody had to pay until the validity of the act was established.

Jesse III. Jones, publisher of the

United States Secretary of Com

ship fund which will send from
one to seven Texas students to
the University of Oslo American
Summer School each year for the
next five years.
With the establishment of the
Jones scholarships, student and
cultural exchange between Nor
way and the United States is seen
to be entering a new phase. The
program already the most extern
sive to be developed between the
Unitd States and a single Europ-
can country-involves the yearly
exchange of over 1000 persons.
With some 600 Norwegian stu
dents presently studying at 222
colleges and universities in every
part of the United States, Norway
has more students here than any
other European land. Under the
Oslo Summer School program, now
entering it's fourth year, nearly
700 American college students
have received six weeks of inten-
sive instruction in Norway since
1947.

Norway's Merchant Fleet Tonnage
Has Non SURPASSED Pre-Wa ar Levels

Figures released last week
by the Norwegian ship CLASH
fication agency Norsk Veri-
tas, show Norway's war-de-
pleted merchant fleet to have
completed the first stage of
it's postwar reconstruction
program. Quantitative return
to pre-War tonnage levels was
realized by November list
when gross merchant tonnage
under the Norwegian flag
surpassed it's pre-war high.
Qualitative recovery, however, is
yet to be achieved as the condition
of many of these ships is far below
Norway's accepted fleet standards.
Neither do fleet totals comprise
the same percentage of world ton
mage that they did before the war.
During the first 10 months of
this year, the Norwegian merchant
fleet showed a net increase Of 1913
vessels totalling 471,472 tons,
bringing total gross tonnage up
to 4,981,472 tons as of November 1,
1919. A total of 2,O89 vessels were
registered as of that date, includ-
ing POI tankers Of 2,045,897 gross
tons. Tonnage figures are there
fore slightly above those for Sep
TENDER, 1889, when Norwegian
merchant fleet totalled 100000
gross tons. During the war, the
fleet suffered heavy losses in the
Allied service, and greeted liberia
ton with a mere 100000 tons in
tact.
The bulk of the new-ship de-
liveries during the 10-month per-
iod were made by Swedish and
British yards. OF the AL ,O61 gross
tons, 1872, O65 originated in Sweden,
1878 in Britain, 44,449 in Nor
way and the remainder in Den
mark, Holland, Belgium, Germany,
and Italy. Addition of secondhand
ships, which mounted following
wars end, has now decreased and
is nearing the. normal pre-war
ratio, with $4,000 gross tons of
used vessels registered between
January and October of this year.
In view of the present need for
replacing average units. and for
restoring Norway's pre-war per-
centage of world tonnage. extern
sive orders have been placed in
domestic and foreign yards. Ships
on order total 313 vessels of 1873
800 gross tons including 100 tank
ers of 1897 300 gross tons. These
are scheduled for delivery within
the next four years, most of them
from Swedish and British yards.

For Best Dehorning
Catch En- Young
BY TONY FELLHAUER. Extension
Livestock Specialist. University
of Wyoming
From Circular No. s4)

MORE AND MORT beef cattle
have been dehorned as young calves
during the last few years than yer
before. What has caused cattlemen
TO switch to early dehorning? The
principal reason is that methods have
been developed for early removal
that are practical for the range oper-
ator to use and which give excellent
results. Another reason is that pro-
ducers are giving more attention to
the production of top quality feed
ers; and attractive clean heads are an
important consideration.
Nowadays, horns on commercial
cattle have no real use, and if they
are allowed to grow, they cause GER
tain losses to the producers and they
are a nuisance. When horns are re-
moved while they are very small and
immature, they become a rather in
significant problem. What should be
an important consideration, although
some stockmen may not concern
themselves with the humanitarian
angle, is that the smaller the horn
growths, the easier the dehorning
operation is on the animal.
Ranchers who still saw them off,
or ''crush them off, their yearlings
or two-year-olds and do a good job
as far as removing the horns and
getting no regrowths are concerned
may wonder why the horns should
be removed at calf branding time Or
oon The answer is obvious when
one considers that the horn growth
on a young calf is only a button
that has just started to develop and
is not yet grown solid to the head.
The Operation
The operation is simple. Use the
size tube that fits over the base of
the horn plus about Is inch of skin
all the way around. Place the cut
ting edge straight down over the
horn, push down and twist, first one
way and then the other, until the
skin has been cut through. The
depth of the cut required to loosen
the skin all the way around and gel
out the horn button will vary from
about IS of an inch for calves only
a few days old to almost 20 inch fol-
the calves around three months old
Usually a cut about IA inch deer
on calves from to three months
of age will do the job. After the
skin has been cut, turn the tube tt
about a 45-degree angle and shove
and turn the cutting edge until the
button m off. Remember to keeI

World Affairs Council
SpIits in Debate on
Policy Toward China
BY the Associoted Press

ASILOMAR, Callf., Dec. 1u.-A
stubborn conflict of ideas on what
the United States should do about
Communist China was evident to-
day at the World Affairs Council
of Northern California.
Almost as confusing as critics
say American policy has been
during China's crisis, the expressed
opinions of speakers were at wide
variance, notably with the views
of Senator Knowland, Republic
can, of California.
The Californian, long an ad-
vocate of continued aid to Chang
Kai-Shek, declared recognition of
the dominant Red regime would
''be the most destructive thing
that could happen to our BIZ
partisan foreign policy"
He asserted recognition would
help build a Soviet bloc in East
Asia and asked:
Cabot Opposes Blockade.
1--WE don't do that in Europe:
why should we do it in the Far
East?" Senator Knowland would
blockade Communist China unless
all Americans detailed there are
released.
But John Cabot, former United
States consul general. speaking
from long experience in Shanghai,
had a different attitude toward
blockading. He said it would not
accomplish anything and would be
dangerous.
Mr.. Cabot said Chang could
not stop communism with bayo-
nets and did not try to stop it
with better ideas"
An open advocate of Red recog-
milton was Roger Lapham, re-

Representative Helen Gahagan
Douglas. Democrat, of California,
said she wanted to get all the
facts first and then decide about
the China recognition policy.
"The big thing to remember
is that the Chinese people are the
ones who are revolving" she said.

this revolt to their purposes"
Advocates of helping Chang
