Snyder also would increase the

are profits on sales of real estate

Drafting Protest
Letter To Wilson

Washington (LPA)-The 14-man
United Labor Policy Committee
was reported to be preparing a
strong protest to mobilization czar
Charles +. Wilson, who ignored
labor in naming a manpower adj

The leaders of Is million trade
unionists wanted responsibility for
manpower to remain in the hands
of Secretary of Labor Maurice
Tobin. But Wilson, who had been
making no secret of his desire to
control manpower, won his point
and was given the green light by
President Truman.
Wilson appointed Arthur S
Flemming, president of Ohio Wes-
leyan University, as his top man.

Price Ceilings
10 Be Displayed

WASHINGTON, May ll.-lP).
You'll soon be seeing price
ceilings displayed in beauty ard
barber shops, laundrieS, parking
lots and bowling alleys.
The government has ordered
such places of business to display
their ceiling prices prominently
within 30 days after next We'd
nesday.
The order affects millions of
personal service and amusement
establishments doing billions of
dollars worth of business every
year.
The order will have little effect
on prices charged by these service
trades under the general price
freeze-unless prices have gone
up.
For any service establishments
which have raised prices without
intending to violate the general
freeze, there will be a rollback.

His voice heavy with sarcasm.
Fulbright replied: You are a very

to say that in the eyes of the
RFC directors, Dawson had what
he called the power of life or
death in the economic sense
Fulbright brought in the name
of E. Merl Young, one time White
House messenger charged with
being a key member of the So

Fulbright said there was no
explanation of Young's alleged in
fluence other than his close

Later. Dawson admitted he
had been offered share in an
oil drilling venture in which
Young was involved. but said
he rejected it because he could
not afford to pay his share.
Still later, when Senator Paul

admit he perhaps welded pres

We blocked off the street as

on the nearby Alzada water spread
ing project. Value of the $50 acres
of rangeland on this project was
estimated at 500 per animal unit
before the dixie system and $3.50
after the range grass came back on
the land with the water spreading.
Prior to development, the $50
acres had a rated grazing capacity
of 100 animal months Gan animal
month is one COW for one month";.
After development, the same area
was rated at 400 animal months, or
an increase of $50 percent. The
bureau of land management esti-
mates this increased grazing ca
pacity, based on livestock prices of
the past eight years will pay the
cost of construction and maintenance
in 40 years with an annual return
of 10 percent on the original invest
ment of $4,000. In comparison, a
project is considered feasible that
will pay out in 40 years with per-
cent return on the original cost.
An estimated $4,000 acres of adj
ditional rangeland in the area can
be treated in this way, according to

project of the bureau of land man

The pictures here tell the story of
the death of the live" gully that
had been growing with erosion each
year despite apparently good condi-
ton of the range grass cover in the
area.
A small earth dam was put across
this gully to divert the occasional
heavy run-off through a dixie water
spreading system. The dixie system
has already greatly increased the
native grasses on 453 acres of lower
gumbo-sage brush flats that were
heretofore baked and cracked and
producing little or no forage in many
spots.
Foundations for the contour dikes
were made with a road ripper to
give them a good base. Final con-
struction of the bikes was done with
a bulldozer.
Several of these water spreading
projects have been constructed both
by the bureau of land management
