he would be hard to head off.
More probably. since they are
skilled negotiators, they will use
the Mcfarland threat to gain all
that they can before matters
reach the point of open battle.
They have much TO lose, too,
by damaging party strife. OF fif-
teen major committee chairman
ships they hold a majority of eight,
including Agriculture, Appropria-
tions, Armed Services, Banking
and Currency, Finance and For
eign Relations. The same long
tenure which has put their lead
ers in these vital posts also
equipped them with a long and
bitter memory of what it means
to be the party out of power.
Fair Dealers Look to '52.
Looking to 1852 where the
Democrats best chance to i'm
prove their Senate margin lies in
such States as New York, Massa-
chusetts, Ohio, Michigan, Wash
ington and Montana, the Fair
Dealers are beginning to argue
that the majority leader must lead
for the administration. Senator
Brien Mcmahon is firm in his re-
fusal to be candidate; preferring
his Atomic Energy Craftsmanship
and his improved position on the
Foreign Relations Committee. This
leaves the way open for Senator
Clinton Anderson of New Mexico,
who could afford to stand strong
ly for the President and his pro-
gram.
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyo-
ming, senior to both Mcfarland
and Anderson, Is still saying a
no that perhaps means maybe.
An intimate O'Mahoney associate
believes the Senator would be run
ming too great risk at home If he
stuck to Mr.. Truman on the
broad issues. that he, is safe only
if he makes sure he can play it on
a personal basis. 1t was recalled
that Senator OMahoney survived
the 1916 Democratic debacle but
after he had warned all Of Wash
ington to stay away and let him
handle it alone.

Cost I'm American Lives.
The Chinese Communists made
their charges of American inter-
vention in Formosa last summer,
before their divisions actively en-
tered the battle against the u. N.
forces in Korea. There might
have been some reasonable
grounds for permitting these men
to come to America at that time
to press their trumped-up charges
against our Government. But since
that time not only the U. N. su-
preme commander in Korea, but
also the representatives of his
command, have confirmed the fact
that the Chinese Communists
have thrown a large force into
a fight to prevent the unif1cation
and pacification of Korea. The
Intervention of these troops has
cost America alone nearly 1000
lives and at least three times as
many other casualties.
The Peiping delegation is not
here to discuss how to stop the
bloodshed in Korea. Their only
purpose is to discuss the crimes
of the imperialistic warmongering
American government" The
Peiping delegates are on American
territory-where they are enjoy
ing the protection, courtesies and
services of Americans. some of
whom may have had sons or other
relatives killed in Korea-to blast
us and not to talk peace.
The notwithstanding British
and Indian diplomats whisper in
the ears of American delegates at
the U. N. that If we leave matters
to them they may be able to OBJ
tain some compromise in Asia.
They still advocate firmly the Rus
sian thesis that Peiping's stooges
should be given the seat held at
present by the Nationalists at
Lake Success.
A situation far more dangerous
than the 1888 Munich agreement
will threaten us if our diplomats
plunge headlong into the compro-
mise which some Of our allies now
are preparing at Lake Success.

New Poultry Book
For State Farmers

A new leaflet, Poultry Disposal
Pits" is now available from the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, or your county agent, an
nounced J. Frank Gordy, extension
poultryman, today.
Silas McHenry, assistant extern
sion poultryman, is the author.
Building instructions and diagrams
were supplied by William A. Cal
vert, extension agricultural ell
gineer.
McHenry recommends burying
or burning dead birds immediately
as part of a good disease preven-
ton program. Disposal pits save
labor and time, have no noticeable
odor if correctly covered, can be
used-all-year-round, are not fire
hazards, and make it impossible
for dogs or rats to dig up the dead
birds and further spread disease.
The leafiet gives information on
building the pits, using them cor
rectly, common questions and an
swers on disposal pits, plus in
sructions on homemade incinera-
tors for those pOultrymen who pre-
fer to burn dead birds. Incinerators
are sometimes necessary if soil
drainage is very poor, says Nc

fate.
In actual deaths, however, the
Delaware Safety Council said that
pedestrians over 65 years of age
nave the highest rate. Based on
the number of pedestrian injuries
and deaths in this Over-64 group, it
was found in one typical year that
one out of every eight of these eld-
erly pedestrians, who were injured
while walking, died as a result of
the accident. This is even more
lOpsided than it seems at first
glance when one considers the COM
paratively small percentage of our
population falling within this ad-
vanced age group.
The reasons for this Over-abund-
ance of pedestrian deaths in these
two groups are fairly obvious. Aged
pedestrians are less able to pro-
tect themselves in trafiic-in many
cases their sight, hearing, and re-
