Abolish Labor Department?

1t is most unfortunate that the admin
istration should. for political reasons,
give its influence in support of the
steel strike. The presence of Vice Pres
ident Barkley and Secretary of Labor
Tobin at the steel workers convention is
particularly to be regretted. The Gov
ernment should, of course, remain
strictly neutral in such matters. This is
just another instance of abuse of power
which all too often records the tyranny
OF government. The Department of
Labor has, in fact, become an agency of
union labor.
There is no question as to the univer-

Court of Arbitration

Strikes in major industries are ruinous
to the public interest. Congress has the
duty OF conserving the general public
interest and doing justice to all. To
these ends suggest an act, with a
forceful preamble reciting the facts
above stated, and the following sections:
A list of major industries is drawn
up, subject to amendment from time
to time. Strikes in listed industries are
forbidden.
Employees and employers shall bar
gain collectively. All points mutually
agreed upon shall stand, and be en-
forceable by court decision.
All points not agreed upon shall be
referred to court of arbitration. This
courts decision shall stand, and be en-
forceable by the courts, though subject
to appeal to the Supreme Court by
either party.
Members Of the court of arbitration
shall be nominated by the President,
but confirmed by two-thirds majority
OF the Senate. They may hold office
ten years, but shall be ineligible to
reappointment.
I regard it as essential that the court
OF arbitration shall be composed alto
gether of men Of judicial, statesmanlike
minds, competent to weigh each ques-
ton from the point of view of the in
terest of the whole country. Some
boards have been made up of groups
of special pleaders, approximately equal.
with So-called representatives of the
public. evidently biased towards one
side. BY requiring approval by two
thirds of the Senate, only men Of high
standing for integrity and fairness
would be chosen.
While it may be that the disputants
do not want justice, but rather special
privilege, the great public wants nothing
but justice, with consideration for all
the parties at interest, including itself.
Since it elects Congress, it is in posi-
ton to require measure that shall in
sure these things.

@. Are the waves on the Great Lakes
ever as high as on the ocean?-H. McC.
A. Lake Superior has the largest

severe storms waves of height of from
20 to Is feet may be encountered in deep
water In some parts Of the ocean waves
may reach twice this height.

@. In television program showing a

A. A unique act in a Jewish Orthodox
wedding ceremony is the breaking of a
thin glass under the heel Of the BRIDE
groom. The explanation given is that
in times of supreme happiness the dis
cordant note is introduced to remind
people Of Israel of the destruction of
the temple in Jerusalem and the exile
which followed. The act is also symbolic
OF the breaking with the past.

WiIdIife Invasion

wish to express my opposition to
HR-4953 being considered by the House
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries, which would open one-fifth
of the Saint Marks Federal Wildlife
Refuge in Florida to mandatory yearly
hunting. The bill makes no provision
for public hunting based upon biological
studies of the necessity for such hunt
ing. This sanctuary was established as
an inviolate refuge and to throw open
this refuge to hunting is only the be-
ginning in the invasion of other invio-
late Wildlife Sanctuaries.
Such action, in conjunction with the
program of draining the marshes and
swamps carried on by some of the Fed
eral agencies, will create serious havoc
in the wildlife of this country. This bill
in its present form is opposed to the
best interests of the American people.

Taft is the embodiment of the ideals

and all France pays tribute; Ike smiles
at Germany, and all Germans go wild;

bunch of baloney.
This press is attempting to stampede
the Republican Party into nominating
Eisenhower. It is my opinion that pri-
maries should be for those who con-
slider themselves as belonging to the
respective parties. Any other concept
would make the primary the same thing
as an election, and would destroy the
ability Of the party to nominate indi-
viduals who express the principles of the
party, and hence lead to a breakdown
OF our two-party system.

trolls removed by Congress on all

CrOssbred And

Hybrid vigor is much wanted by
modern breeders of poultry and
livestock. There are three main
ways Of crossing poultry, as list
ed, by the Bureau Of Animal In
dustry, U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture. ID The crossing of differ
ent species (chickens with tur-
keys) This usually results in a
lower rate Of reproduction and
doesn't increase egg production.
90 Crossbreeding two or more
chicken breeds or varieties, such
as Leghorns and r. /. Reds. (3)
Hybridizing or crossing of inbred
lines from two or more breeds or
varieties
Trials at the USDA's BeltsvilIe
research farm show that increased
egg production can result from
both crossbreeding and hybridizing
This doesn't mean that crossing
any birds from any two breeds or
varieties will result in greater egg
production. It takes careful selec-
tion Of the parent strains to get the
best results
In some Of the UsDA tests, the
regular outbred control flocks Of
White Leghorns averaged 203 eggs
per year and r. l. Reds laid 212
eggs. White LeghOrn and Il. [. Red
when crossbred laid 246 eggs a
year Hybrid pullets from inbred
lines Of the same breeds averaged
149 eggs annually. (Research work
at Iand-Grant Colleges often
shows the same small difference in
production between crossbreds and
hybrids, which is not enough Il

GIs Marrying
German Girls
More and More
BY the Assoeioted Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov.
United States is issuing
visas to German wives of Amer
lean soldiers at the record rate
of 500 a month, consulate records
showed today.
These figures indicate that the
number of marriages of German
girls and American soldiers is
twice as high as last year and
far above the number during the
rush which followed the lifting of
the ban Oh such marriages in 1947.
Officials offer this explanation:
/. There are more American
troops here now than at any other
period since German American
weddings were permitted. During
the Allied buildup against the
Soviet menace, the number of
United States soldiers in Germany
has grown from less than 100, 600
in 1947 to about 250,000 today.
2. Many American soldiers are
now completing their overseas
tours of duty and being returned
to the United States. They marry
shortly before they start home.
The marriage rate is reflected
by the number of visas issued
German girls for admittance to
the United States as wives of
American citizens.
An average of 500 such visaS is
being issued every month by
United States consulateS in Ger
many. Last year the rate was
about half that, with a total of
3.039 issued during the entire
year.
In the first 10 months after
Americans were permitted to
marry Germans in 1947, only
/ ,898 such weddings took place.
