feeding is approximately 8 percent
of the grain mixture. No mixture to
which an animal has access should
contain more than percent and
the association of American Feed
Control Officials has recommended
that mixtures containing more than
8 percent should be labeled with
appropriate feeding instructions. 1t
has been demonstrated experiment
tally that kidney damage may re-
suit from the feeding of urea at too
high levels.
S. Urea is most effectively util-
lied when the ration contains ade-
quate amounts of good quality car
bohydrates.
6. Because of its high concentra-
ton and undesirability of excessive
ingestion by the animal, urea must
be thoroughly blended with other
feedstuffs before feeding. 1t is there
fore recommended only for use by
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-02-01

manufacturers of commercially
mixed feeds wherein properly SUI
pervised control of mixing and adj
justment of feed formulas to a sound
nutritional basis can be exercised
at all times. The presence of urea
in a feed must be shown on the
label indicating the total crude pro-
tein guarantee and it must be stated
what percent of the crude protein
is protein equivalent from non-pro-
tein nitrogen.
Additional Grain Needed
Since ton of urea has the protein
equivalent of from 6 to tons of the
oil meal supplements, whenever a
ton of urea is used in dairy rations
it will release that amount of oil
meals for the feeding of pigs and
chickens and In that way help re-
ieve the protein shortage over the
country as a whole.
1t must be emphasized that when
a protein supplement is replaced by
urea, additional grains must be fed.
That is one pound of urea plus six
pounds of grain is equal approx
mately to seven pounds of oil meal.
Grain mixtures containing urea
should cost the farmer less than ra-
tons containing the natural protein
| feedstuffs.

LONDON, April 27.- Winston

on world affairs in the United
States next month. Some sources
said one reason was because he
wished to steer clear of the Amer

The British government crisis
over its arms program was given
as a second reason.
He had been scheduled to speak
in Philadelphia May 8.
He made no direct reference to
the political crisis in a letter to
Harold E. Stassen, president of the
University of Pennsylvania, but
said "events have happened which
make it difficult for me to fulfill

But in speech at a party rally

bill, but it failed by three votes
to get the absolute majority-311

Before the voting started Mr.,

Conferees Postpone
Their Work on Draft
Bill Indefinitely
Preparations for Inquiry
On Macarthur Couse
Delay. Russell Reveals
By George Beveridoe

Settlement of House and Sem
ate draft bill differences took a
serious setback today, as con-
ferees indefinitely postponed ef-
forts to agree on the controver-
sial draft expansion provisions.
Chairman Russell of the Sen
ate Armed Services Committee,
conference leader, said the post
ponement was decided because his
committee must prepare to open
military policy hearings next
Thursday, with Gen. Macarthur
as the first witness.
However. the implication that
the conference would be unable
to iron out draft bill differences
within the next few days pointed
up seriousness of the split be-
tween the two houses on key Is
sues.
Major Questions Ahead.
In four sessions, only one i'm
portant agreement has been
reached-to increase draft service
from q to "a months. Discus
sions. members said. have not even
begun in earnest on the major
questions of universal military
training, whether to drop the
draft age to 18 or 1914 and
whether to impose a strength cell
ing on the armed forces.
Senator Russell said he did not
mean to imply that further draft
sessions will be put off until after
the Macarthur hearings.
But I don't see much oppor-
tunity for any more sessions for
a couple of weeks" he declared.
Minor differences resolved to-
day included agreement to:
/. Allow childless husbands to
be deferred in cases of extreme
hardship"
Re-employment Rights.
2. Increase from to 4 years
the period In which SerVlcemen
will be entitled to unemployment
rights.
8. Set at "a months the period
of service for reservists ordered
to active duty.
4. Accept the House provision
which makes draftees and en-
listees liable for a total of eight
years service both on active duty
and in the reserves.
5. Allow draft-liable men to
enlist in the regular Army for
"a months. the same period which
drafteeS would serve. In addi-
ton, Reservists who apply for
active duty and are turned down.

Loan Agencies
RFC Is Inconsistent
With Moves to Curb
Initiation, He Says
By Robert K. Walsh

The Reconstruction Finance
Corp. and similar Government
lending agencies should be abol-
ished because they are "incon-
sistent" with such anti imitation
moves as balancing the Federal
budget, and curbing private credit,
Mariner S. Eccles told the Senate
Banking Committee today.
Mr.. Eccles, member of the
Federal Reserve System Board of
Governors, declared there is no
real place in a private enterprise
economy for direct Government
lending to the private economy,
any more than there is a place for
direct Government ownership of
the means of production"
Government participation in
either field is "socialistic in ma
ture. and will, if continued and
expanded. weaken and ultimately
destroy the private free enterprise
system" he said.
Mr.. Eccles testified at the start
of committee hearing on several
bills that would either put RFC
out of business, or greatly re-
strict its lending authority and
provide safeguards against in
fluence and favoritism.
McGrath Offers Proposal.
Another witness, Chairman
Fulbright of the subcommittee
investigating RFC forwarded a
suggestion from Attorney General
McGrath on the most effective
way to punish influence ped
dlers."
The Attorney General. in re-
sponse to a letter from Senator
Fulbright, noCed that the present
law cannot effectively punish
people who pay or receive fees
for exerting improper influence
on the RFC.
Rather than require tne law
enforcement officers and the
courts to attempt to draw the
rather nebulous line between
legitimate and illegitimate fees,
and between proper and improper
influence" Mr.. McGrath wrote. II

the budget estimate.
Land could be bought only in
the District of Columbia with the

given as to what should be bought.
