All Boys to Draw
For Calves Dec. 6

Thirty Maryland All boys have
their applications in to secure high
quality dairy calves at the ninth
annual "Heifer Party" sponsored
by the state Holstein-F -Friesian As
sociation to be held at the Univer-
sity of Maryland in College Park
December 6. Other breed associa-
tions will hold similar events later
this winter.
Enough little calves, all born be-
tween July and October this year,
will be on hand so each boy will
receive a calf. All the calves will
be sold to the boys at a set price
of $3.50 for their All projects al
though they would command a
higher price if sold in the open
market. The calf each boy will re-
ceive will be determined by lot.
To insure that each calf is OF
high quality, it is certified that
each is from dams with minimum
high standards of production rec
ords.
The calf parties are arranged to
provide good calves for All men,
bers in areas where there is not
a ready source of good animals.
Mylo Downey, state club leader at
the University of Maryland, points
out that handling and working with
a fine animal in All work usually
proves an incentive for maintain
ing good livestock when the boy
becomes farmer in later life.

Filibuster Supporter
And Opponent Trade
Coon Tactics CHARGE
By the Associated Press

Senatorial filibusters and plans
to stop them were each called
"goon squad tactics" last night
by two Democratic Senators whose
views clash on the hot controversy.
In Atlanta Senator Russell of
Georgia told the Atlanta Consti-
tuition the Senate is no place for
"goon squad tactics" He was
commenting on an -filibuster
strategy conference called by Sem
ator Humphrey of Minnesota.
Senator Humphrey, apprised in
Washington of Senator Russell'S
statement, said:
THE only COON squad tactics I
know CT is the tactic of the filibus-
ter. which is rule by a minority
without regard for majority opin-
ion."
Senator Russell led a Southern
group which used the filibuster-
unlimited debate-as its Sunday
punch in knocking out President
Truman's Fair Employment Prac-
tees Commission and other civil
rights legislation proposals.
Senator Humphrey, a champion
OF Mr.. Humans civil rights pro-
gram. said yesterday he and other
Senators opposed to fiilibustering
would meet December 80 in WASH
lngton for a strategy conference.
The idea. he said, was to evolve
a plan for relaxing Senate rule
%, which requires vote of "a
Senators. two-thirds of the entire
membership. to cut off debate.
Senator Russell commended that
Senator Humphrey is a spokes-
man for Walter Reuther, new
president of the CLIO, and that
one proposal discussed by Senator
Humphrey yesterday is known in
Washington as the Reuther
PLAN"
1T is highly unlikely" Senator
said, that the Republican
administration will look to- one
of Walter Reuther's views to pre-
scribe its rules
Senator Humphrey and Mr..
Reuther appeared before a con-
greSSional committee earlier this
year and advanced a plan for get
ting rid of Senate rule %. It
would work this way:
A motion to adopt new Senate
rules would be made at the outset
of the new session. The motion
probably would be ruled out of
order on the grounds the Senate
has rules. The ruling
would be appealed to the floor for
a decisive majority vote. If the
Senate overrode the ruling, it
would be left in effect without any
rules. General parliamentary pro-
cedure, in which debate can be
more easily curbed, would then be
followed,
