Gen. Eisenhower today had

Guiding modest" American con-
tributions.
The general apparently was
making headway on Capitol Hill
but Senate Minority Leader

was not convinced.
The Senator, who probably will
make a Senate speech on the SUBJ

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3.-A
3,700-year-old farm bulletin has
been found in Iraq, archaeologists
for two universities reported to-
day.
It is the oldest farm bulletin
ever found. The document told
farmers living in ancient Nippur,
1,700 years before Christ was
born how TO SOW their crops,
how to irrigate, how to handle
field mice and how to harvest.
The. findings were reported by
the University Museum of the
University of Pennsylvania and
the University of Chicago ORR
entail Institute.
The archaeologists found the
bulletin near Nippur, Iraq. 1t
was written in cuneiform script
on a clay tablet in the Sumerian
language, which can be trans
lated only by about dozen
scholars.
The Sumerians, who developed
the first civilization which arose
in Mesopotamia, were principally
an agricultural people with their
religious capital at Nippur, 100
miles south of modern Bagdad.
The archaeologists uncovered
five temples to EMIL, chief god

of the Sumerians. at Nippur. And
they found the farm bulletin
which told them to keep an eye
on the man who puts in the seed,
have him put the seeds in two
fingers deep uniformly"
The sowing, according to the
bulletin, was to be done with a
seeder, a plow with an attach
ment which carried the seed from
a container through a narrow
funnel down into the furrow.
The farmer was told to plow
eight burrows to each strip of
1912 feet. Four types of burrows
were explained.
"On the day when the seed
breaks through the ground" the
farmer was advised to say a prayer
to the goddess of the field mice
and other vermin that might harm
the grain.
The bulletin said it was time to
irrigate when the grain had grown
so that it filled the narrow bot
tom of the burrows. And the
farmer was advised to take care
lest the grain, when ready for
harvesting, bend under it's own
weight.
The bulletin concludes with
these words: "Cut it at the right
moment"

Modified Draft Study
Started After Plea by
Eisenhower for UNIT
24-25 Month Service
Under Consideration
By Senate Committee
By George Beveridqe

With Gen. Eisenhower on record
in strong support of the Penta-
CONS 18-year-old universal draft
plan. Senators studying the pro-
posal today buckled down to pos
sible qualifications" of some of
its most controversial points.
In a surprise appearance before
the Senate Preparedness Subcom-
mittee late yesterday. the general
was unequivocal in his plea for
universal service and training for
all the Nations youth.
But his analysis of draft-expan-
sion needs drew from some COM
mittee members these possible
changes.
l. Shortening the proposal to
extend draft service from 81 to
27 months, possibly to "a or Is
months.
g Making the minimum draft
liable age somewhere between 18
and 10, possibly 18 years and
months.
3. Increasing the number of top
students who, after taking four
months basic training, could be
routed to college for training
The Defense Department pro-
posed that the maximum of such
student deferments be rs OO0 a
year.
General Has Two Opinions.
Like many other proposals to
change the Pentagon blueprint
however. those following Gen
Eisenhower's talk face weeks of
discussion on both sides of Cap
itol Hill.
Gen. Eisenhower said he has
two opinions about a draft of 49,
year-oldS-one as soldier and
one as an educator on leave as
president of Columbia University
AS a soldier, he said, he doesn't
think the minimum draft age
should be above 19. But he
doesn't care whether men are
called at 18 or 10.
But as an educator, he declared
he is convinced that the 18-year-
old who is called up will feel a
less disruptive impact on his edu-
cation, job and general civilian
future.
Supports Universal Call.
In answer to a question, Gen
Eisenhower also said he favored
calling up childless husbands who
are between 10 and 26 years of
age and are not veterans. About
100000 such married men now
are deferred.

U. 5. Speeding
Contemplation
In Rail Strike
Special Court Session
Called in Chicago
To Expedite Case

Government lawyers returned to
Federal court in Chicago this
morning seeking to speed con-
tempt of court action against
union leaders as the strike OF
railroad switchmen continued to
spread over the Nation.
The strikers ignored President
Truman's sharply-worded state
ment yesterday that their walk
outs are directly injuring our
national security" and they con-
tinued to report they are too
sick" to work in major terminals
A special session of Federal
court was called by Judge Michael
L. 1goe in Chicago to enable JUS
tice Department attorneys to ex-
pedite their appeals for contempt
citation against the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen and it's ma
tional officers.
Hearing Recessed.
The hearing yesterday recessed
until Monday. but Judge Igoe
later called the special session
after United States Attorney Otto
kerner, jr., emphasized the i'm
portance of bringing the case ito
an early conclusion"
In Washington the National
Mediation Board continued it's ef-
forts to settle the dispute, but
there were no indications that an
agreement was near. Bargaining
committees for the railroads and
for the union brotherhood in
volved in the walkout talked sep
arately with the board last night
and agreed to resume conferences
today. The board was not able to
bring the two groups together in
a joint conference, however.
Green Hits "Wildcat Strike"
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor de-
Scrlbed the "Sick" walkout of
sWltchmen as a wildcat strike"
while talking to reporters at the
White House today.
Il know the leaders of the
movement are trying to do all
they can to bring about a resump-
tion of work through collective
bargaining" he said.
Mr.. Green said he did not dis
cuss the railroad strike with Pres
ldent Truman. He went to the
White House to discuss the whole
mobilization effort, including
and wage stabilization
he explained.
Meanwhile. the five-day walk
out had nearly paralyzed most of
the Nations freight transporta-
ton and struck hard at major in
dustries. The number of workers
made idle by the freight tieup
scared past 10000 this morning
with indications that thousands
more will be laid off next week
unless the strike ends.
Freight Movement Here Cut.
Movement of freight to Wash
ington has been drastically re-
duced by the strike, but con-
tinued operation of switching IA
cilities at Potomac Yards kept
food supplies for the city above
the danger level.
The Southern Railway System
clamped an embargo on freight
movement between Spencer. N. c.,
and Monroe. Va, two of the sys-
TENS big division points. A spokes-
man said the embargo will further
curtail freight movement into
Washington, but pointed out that
supplies loaded south of Spencer
can continue to move to Potomac
Yards.
