feathering and fattening as well as
for general appearance. The Indian
River Cross birds were exceptionally
uniform and graded highest in gem
eral, as well as for all quality char
acteristics such as fleshing and
feathering. The White Plymouth
Rocks graded lowest in general and
for fleshing, feafhering, and fatten-
ing. The Northwesters and New
Hampshires graded almost the same.
Feathering, however, was consider
ably poorer in the Northwesters,
while fattening was better than for
the New Hampshires or White Plym-
outh Rocks.
Mortality Low
Mortality was low in all of the
pens, with only two chicks lost in
each of the Indian River Cross and
the White Plymouth Rock pens.
In summarizing this experiment, it
might be concluded that the crosses
tried had some advantages in broiler
production, especially from the
standpoint of growth rate and feed
efficiency, over the strains of White
Plymouth Rock and New Hampshires
tested, but feathering may prove to
be problem unless early feathering
strains are used in making the
crosses.
The Indian River Cross was good
in all points tested. Since there is
known to be considerable differences
in strains of the same breeds from
the standpoint of broiler producing
qualities, more comparisons will be
needed to supply Montana poultry
producers with reliable broiler breed
and strain information.

BROILER PRODUCTION develop
ment has been phenomenal in the
United States in the last Is to 20
years. This development has not
been so noticeable in Montana, but
more and more interest is being
shown and this interest can be ex-
pected to expand in the future.
Several factors have been respon-
sible for the expansion in broiler
production from $4,000 in 1884 to
over 7OO,OOO,0OO in 1852. Most inn
portant among these have been first
the development of rapid growing,
fast-feathering varieties and crosses
suitable for broiler production, and
second improved rations making pos
sible efficient growth in confinement
at all seasons of the year.
Breeds. Feeds Compared
The Montana Agricultural Expert
ment station at Bozeman has been
studying broiler production problems
on small scale for the last two
years. Comparisons have been made
of various crosses and breeds of
chickens, and of high-energy type ra-
tions. Our interest in the latter has
been primarily in developing high
energy or high-efficiency ration
composed principally of Montana
produced grains in place of yellow
corn. The results of some of these
tests will be reviewed.
In the comparison of breeds and
crosses, the two most common broiler
breeds, New Hampshire and White
Plymouth Rock, were compared with
two crosses, the so-called Indian
River Cross, which has proven popu-
lar in some sections of the east, and
the more recently developed North
wester. The Indian River Cross is
produced by mating Delaware males
Ga comparatively new bree0 with
New Hampshire females. The North
wester is cross utilizing males from
a Cornish-New hampshire pheasant
cross with New Hampshire females,
Weights at IL Weeks

One-hundred straight-run chicks
were started in each lot and the birds
were carried to 12 weeks. At this age
the comparison showed the heaviest
lot to be the Northwester with an
average for both males and females
Of 3.48 pounds; the Indian River
cross was next, with $40; the New
Hampshire third, with an average o.

nor as vigorously as it would
oppose Senator Taft.
The opposition to Senator
Taft was based on the Taft
Hartley Act. which labor tagged
as slave labor" law, designed
to wreck unionism. A bill SIM
liar to the national act was in
PRODUCED in the Ohio General
Assembly. It was more stringent
than the Taft-Hartley Act, but
was poorly written and nearly
impossible of enforcement. The
measure passed the House and
Senate, and went to the Gov
ernor's desk. Gov. Lausche
vetoed the bill.
But the manner Of his veto an
gered labor groups. In his veto
message, the Governor said he
was taking the action because
he believed the bill was a poor
piece of legislation, and added
that it was not because he felt
unions were beyond regulation.
Earlier Labor Troubles
The Governor had had his
troubles with labor before. In
1887, after he became a Com
mon Pleas Court Judge in Guy
ahoga County, he took on labor
cases which other judges APP
parently were afraid to handle.
In one restaurant case, he
made enemies in the AFL. The
AFL wanted to organize the
restaurant employees, who were
not union members. Picket
lines were set up. Judge
Lausche ruled there was no
legitimate labor dispute and
issued an injunction against the
picketing.
When he was Governor-in
June, 1945-he directed the
Ohio selective service to induct
CLIO strikers from the Akron
Goodyear plant into the armed
services.
The following year, he de-
clined to receive a bill of griev-
ance." asking unemployment
benefits for strikers.
None of these things set we'll
with the CLIO or the AFL. But
the most infuriating was the
political statement at White
Sulphur Springs, when labor
was trying hard to defeat Sen
ator Taft.
Faced with the memories of
its anti-Taft campaign in 1850,
the PAC this year may adopt a
hands-off policy in the Charles
P. Taft State race, even though
it prefers this other Taft to
Lausche.
Should Senator Taft become
the G.. o. P. presidential nomi-
nee, labor would find it difficult
to keep out of the campaign.
He has been their target for too
long.
In view of the 1850 results,
however. it is doubtful whether
a Nationwide campaign against
Senator Taft would hurt Charles
Taft's chances for the governor
ship. Privately, labor would be
hoping it wouldn't.

There was trickery in Corn

that Great Britain's Gen.

and 1000 men, was on his way
down the coast to raise the
seige of Yorktown. There was
no time to be lost. If Corn

Revolution was virtually won.

Washington replied at once.

treated as prisoners of war. That
was that. He then drove the
harpoon deep into CORVALLIS
side. He refused to grant the
honors of war. Lastly. he told
CORVALLIS that the guns would
open fire at once unless the
British general agreed to a

by demanding anew that the

The Nation is becoming ac-
customed, these days, to dire
warnings of too little and too
late" in its defense effort. But
yesterday was Armed Forces
Day-the third in history-and
it was good time to take stock
of some of the things that have
been accomplished in the past
year.
Since last Armed Forces Day
a good deal has been accom-
plished in all services.
Army Coins
The Army, mobilizing while
fighting in Korea, had by the
end of 1851 upped it's size from
a low of SOL 900 at the time the
Korean war began, to 1861 900.
From 10 depleted divisions, it
has increased to 20 full divisions.
Its strength now is 1870, 900.
disqualification is expected to
bring it down to 1850, 900 by
June 80.
This year, all Army personnel,
from individual rif1emen to field
army commanders and their
stats, are being ipdoctrinated
iu techniques of offense and
defense based on the tactical
use of atomic missiles. This is
one of the ways the combat
effectiveness of the Army has
been increased since last Armed
Forces Day. The continuing
improvement of weapons gives
more and more fire power to
every unit. Modernization of
equipment has added greatly to
efficiency. For instance, many
items that the soldier carries
are much lighter now. Vital
communication equipment also
has been made more rugged and
lighter.
Anti-aircraft units have been
doubled in number. New anti
aircraft rockets and ground-to-
air missiles, which soon will go
into the hands of the troops.
will materially strengthen the
defense of Americas cities.

developments are:

aft Brothers,
Ohio Clio Might Go for Charles as Governor
But Not for Bob in the Presidential Race
By Jack Jonas

The brothers Taft, both poll
t1cal candidates this year, are
two different breeds of Republic
cans in the estimation of the
CLOS Political Action Commit
tee in Ohio. And putting the
electorate straight on them
could turn out to be one of
labor's most challenging assign
ments in this big political year.
The Go and most other Ohio
labor leaders have been anti
Robert Taft for years. They
pointed their biggest guns at
him back in 1850, but came off
poor second 100000 votes
shy in their campaign to keep
him from returning to the Sen
ate. If Senator Taft gets the
presidential nomination this
summer, there is little reason to
doubt that the CIO will renew
its attack.
The labor attitude toward
Bob's brother Charles, however,
is another story. Charles P.
Taft has just won the Republi-
can nomination for Governor,
and the CLOS Political Action
Committee undoubtedly would
prefer to take its chances with
him in preference to going an
other two years with the Demo-
cratic incumbent, Frank j.
Lauscbe, who is seeking his
fourth term.
Labor, which helped Gov.
Lausche get elected six years
ago, has been unhappy with
his antics in Office. Much of
the rancor stems from the bitter
senatorial contest of 1850, when
the State was plastered with
BEAT Taft" literature distrib-
uted by the PAC. The CLIO
wanted the Senator out of Office
and didn't care much who sue
ceeded him. The campaign was
based almost exclusively on
beating the Senator rather than
on electing his opponent.
The Governor BoIks
Labor expected Gov. Lausche
would support their standard
bearer, State Auditor Joseph
T. Ferguson, a fellow Demo-
crat. in the latter's efforts to
wrest the Senate seat from
Robert Taft.
But the Governor baked in
the midst of the campaign. He
told reporters at the annual
Governors conference at White
Sulphur Springs that he had
not decided how he was going
to vote when it came to picking
a Senator from Ohio.
The PAC was stunned; then
Its ire arose.
When its list of most fav-
ored" candidates was distributed
just before the election, Gov.
Lausche's name was missing
from among the Democrats.
The CLIO was not alone in its
rebuke. William F. Green, pres
ident of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and native of
Ohio, told reporters he believed
labor would oppose the Cover

ers accepted this article in glum
silence.
The Honors of War
Article III. dealing with the
honors of war, brought the
sharpest clash. Washington had
instructed his commissioners to
allow the same dubious. then
degrading honors of war given
the American garrison captured
at Charleston the year before,
where the Americans were
forced to march out with colors
cased and drums not beating a
British or German march"
It was considered honorable
in those days to surrender play
ing a tune of the victorious
army. Conversely, it was con-
sidered degrading for the sur
rendering army to be forced to
play a tune of its own. Since
the British and Hessians were
fighting together, the Charles
ton stipulation that the Amer
lean band could play neither a
British nor a German march
was taken as an unnecessary
affront.
Washington now proposed to
return the bitter compliment as
a piece of justifiable and poetic
retaliation.
This is a harsh article" COM
planned British Maj. Foss. "It
says, The Garrison shall march
out, with shouldered arms, colors
cased and with drums beating
a British or German march
That's rubbing it in"
1T is a harsh article. but it
stays" replied Col. Laurens
grimly.
According to one report, the
British had planned to march
out to surrender with all flags
flying and their bands playing

rens had his instructions. More
than that, he probably was
eager for a bit of revenge. He
was among those who had sur
rendered and been DEGRADED"
at Charleston.
Surrender Next Day
BY night, October Is, the
commissioners had polished off
the historic Fourteen Articles
on which the surrender of Lord
CORVALLIS and his 1900 men
was based. Next morning they
were signed ''in the trenches
before York Town in Virginia. !"
The surrender was taken that
afternoon, with the British
band playing 1.-THE World

Two days after the surrender,
Washington, in the custom of
the day. spread a feast for his
eminent captive. Lord Cornwall
lis. Wine flowed. There were
toasts. Rochambeau gave 1.-THE

incidentally. had just lost Is

added. Keep the King in

The contrast between the ne
gotiations leading to Americas
first cease-fire and the talks
aimed at stopping the shooting
In Korea is as complete as can
be imagined. Our delegates have
been talking for almost II
months in Korea and still have
not been able to work out a
truce At Yorktown (Va.) in
1871, Gen. George Washington
dealt Lord CORVALLIS a truce in
only IL hours.
The reason for the swift pace
at Yorktown is simple. The
Americans held all the trump
cards. At Panmunjom the
United States and it's Allies are
trying to negotiate a cease-f1re
without having won a victory.
There were no problems about
q cease-fire line at yorktown.
Nor was there any thought of
getting neutral nations to OBJ
serve how the truce was kept.
But there were similarities.
AS at Panmunjom, Yorktown
reverberated with threats of re-
prisals. There were blazing
tempers, bitter wrangling and
"ferocious faces" There were
even comparable issues: Prison.
,ers of war, repatriation and
the "honors of war" our fore

Drummer Boy in Red
The end at Yorktown had
come swiftly. dramatically.
There was nothing like it in
our history. At exactly 10 am.
on october II. 1881, a drummer
boy in a bright red jacket sud-
denly appeared on the British
parapet before Yorktown and
began beating the recognized
roll for a parley. Cannonballs
zoomed. above him and bullets
around him. But there he stood
silhoueted against the battle
smoke bravely beating his drum.
Beside him stood a British Of
ficer waving a white flag.
From the American lines the

officer with the white flag.
blindfolded him and led him
to Washingtons headquarters.
Here the officer handed WASH
ington a note. the first of the
scrupulously polite correspond
ence between Lord CORVALLIS
and Gen. Washington, that
led to the British surrender.
This historic note read:
