SUCCESS STORY OF THE MONTH

he now walks to his classes on
crutches which he hopes soon to
discard.
Ever since he can remember,
Monroe has wanted to become a
teacher. After graduating from
Akron West High School with high
scholastic honors, he enrolled at
Kent State University where he be-
gan to study for his teaching ca
reer. He was within two semesters
of finishing his courses when his
money ran out. The Ohio State Bu-
reau of Vocational Rehabilitation
had paid for his tuition up until
that time, but could not finance the
extra semesters he needed.
Then, the Summit County Society
for Crippled Children, an affiliate
of the Ohio Society, came to the
rescue. The Society's board ap-
proved loan of S349, enough to see
Monroe through his final two Sc
mesters. He received one of the So
ciety's first character loans from
$1,000 fund set up for loans to
disabled and handicapped persons
for the purpose of rehabilitation"
According to Walter B. Under
wood, executive director of the
Ohio Society, "The case history of
Edward Monroe is a good example
of how severely handicapped in
dividual can be assisted in his fight
to lead a useful, happy life through
the combined efforts of health and
welfare agencies. The National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis,
the Ohio State Bureau of Vocational
Rehabilitation, and the Summit
County Society for Crippled Chill
dren have all done their share to
see that Monroe gets his teaching
opportunity"

Frost Lowers
Bluegrass Value

Killing frosts lower the feed
ing value of bluegrass pasture,
says Paul Gerlaugh, Ohio agri-
cultural experiment station an

This has been pointed out by
six years tests comparing the
value of protein supplement for
beef calves being fed corn on
bluegrass pasture. Each year
tests were started in early May
when grass was available and
continued until early November.
Protein supplement was not a
worthwhile addition to full feed
of corn when the bluegrass was

grass remained green in color.
This indicates, Gerlaugh con-
tinues, that when frost strikes
bluegrass pasture, one should
consider the need for additional
protein in the ration. The amount
needed would be similar to that
required by cattle in dry lot
quarters on roughage that does
not contain legumes.
This amount is about one
pound per day for yearlings or
older animals with an additional
half pound per day for fattening
cattle.

Beaten Wife Re|ents,
Sentence Is Reduced

A wife who thought twice after
giving testimony that resulted in
a six-month sentence for her hus-

ing the penalty reduced to a $50
fine.

Canadian Rail Strike
Believed Near End as
Parliament Speeds Bill
By the Associated Press

OTTAWA. Aug. 3O.-Canada's
Parliament today begins meeting
three times q day to speed pas
sage of a bill ordering resumption
of the Nations strike bound rail
service. The end of the week
old nation wide walkout appeared
in sight.
Union leaders said after a
meeting late last night that they
would order the $4,000 strikers
back to work after passage of the
legislation.
The House Of Commons sched-
uled morning. afternoon and eve
ming sessions from today until
final passage Of the Strike-ending
legislation. With most customary
rules of Parliament suspended,
the House gave the bill it's first
reading yesterday and last night
took it up on second reading.
Must Pass Three Readings.
A suggestion for an all-night
session to conclude second-reading
discussion was vetoed by Prime
Minister Louis St. Laurent and
the major opposition leader. Pro-
gressive Conservative George
Drew. They agreed the members
should study the bill overnight.
The bill must pass three read
ings in both Commons and Sen
nate and then be approved by the
governor general before it be-
comes law.
The legislation instructS the
railways and unions to get the
trains and telegraph lines operat-
ing within 48 hours of passage of
the bill. Pending a final settle
ment, the workers will continue to
work a 48-hour week (they seek
a 40-hour week. and will get a
provisional wage increase OF 4
cents an hour.
That was the railways highest
offer during the now-collapsed
negotiations.
Failure of the railways and
unions to negotiate a settlement
within IS days would result in
Government appointment of an
arbitrator, whose decisions would
be final. The legislation guaran-
tees that no employe will be dis
charged for having struck.
Union leaders were reported
disappointed because the measure
did not provide the 40-hour week
Immediately on ending of the
strike.

Freedom of Press
Raised as Issue in
House Contempt Case
By the Associoied Pres,

The issue of freedom of the press
was raised today as the House took
up a request that it cite three men
for contempt.
The three, who defied the Lobby
Investigating Committee, are
Edward A. Rumley, William L.
Patterson and Joseph P. Kamp.
The special Lobby Investigating
Committee, headed by Representa-
tive Buchanan, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania has recommended
that the House cite the trio for
contempt. Conviction carries a
possible penalty of a year in jail
and 81 900 fine.
Mr.. Rumley is executive secre-
tary of the Committee for Consti-
tutiona1 Government. Mr.. Patter-
son is executive secretary of the
Civil Rights Congress-labeled
subverSive by the Justice Depart
ment and Mr.. Kamp is executive
vice chairman of the Constitu-
tional Educational League.
All three refused to give the
committee data on their organiza-
tons sources of revenues. The
committee said it needed the data
in its study of the lobby laws and
insisted that it was pertinent to
the investigation.
Rumely insisted the committee
had no right to the names of per-
sons who had contributed $500 or
more to his organization to help
distribute literature Representa-
tive Buchanan claims is 'propa-
ganda bearing on legislative is
sues"
Mr.. Patterson refused to fur
nish records including lists of
persons who had supported his
organization. which he said he
did not consider to be a lobby
ing group.
Mr.. Kamp declined to furnish
information on the ground the
committee had not established its
right to the data requested. He
recently was sentenced to a jail
term for contempt of another con-
gressional committee.
Some House members said they
believe a different issue is pre-
sented in the case involving Mr..
Rumely-whether the committee
has violated the constitutional
guarantee of freedom of the press
by demanding data dealing with
the distribution of publications.
In advance of the session, James
