Libruries and Fairgrounds

Ralph L. Thompson assistant librar-
ian, told the Rhode Island Avenue Citi-
ZenS Association that the District Lii
brary's bookmobile is showing where
branch libraries are most in demand.
He pointed out that Brightwood is max
ing very poor showing.
Brightwood has been allotted a IL
brary site since 1946. Each year since
then we have been told we would get it
next year.
We have more than 5000 school chill
dren In the Brightwood area besides the
adults, but they do not take kindly to
bookmobiles. We need library with
facilities for quiet reading and other
accommodations.

The kindest thing that can be said
about the Recreation Boards decision in
the matter Of making facilities available

it is unfair.
It Is both unrealistic and dishonest.
1t says In effect that Negro youth in the

over oats to both ~ and "a weeks.
Corn was more efficient than wheat
to "a weeks but not to IL weeks.
Feed efficiency is generally i'm
proved with improved growth rate
and this was observed in these tests.
Mortality is always major factor
affecting turkey profits. Mortality
in our studies were much higher $50
percent higher) on rations contain
ing corn than on rations containing
wheat up TO IL weeks of age. From
IL to "a weeks the mortality rate was
about the same on the two grains.
Turkey egg production tests
showed no appreciable difference be-
tween grains, although barley ra-
tons averaged 3 eggs more per hen
than oat rations.
Mash Mixtures
Mash mixtures containing ground
whole wheat and oats have been
compared to mash mixtures contain
ing ground corn, wheat, oats, bran
and shorts for several years. The
growth rates to both IL and "a weeks
have been almost identical on these
two different types of rations and
the same has been true of feed eff
ficiency. Mortality has averaged al
most the same to II weeks but 40
percent higher from IL to "a weeks
on the complex mixture than on the
more simp1ified whole grain mixture.
Market quality as shown by grade
A birds was percent higher on the
complex ration than on the simpli-
fled grain ration but this difference
is not sufficient to be called sig
nificant.
The results of these studies would
no doubt have been different if high
levels of milling by-products had
been used. Only a total of 20 per-
cent of the mash mixture was bran
and shorts in these studies.
Fish Solubles
Condensed fish solubles have been
known to contain a growth-pro-
noting factor and high level OF
vitamin BIZ. Whether or not in
creased growth would be obtained
when added to a ration containing
as much as 10 percent of meat scraps
was question we wished to study.
Two comparisons using 8 percen
of condensed fish solubles as com
pared to no fish solubles in masl
mixture produced turkeys weighing
0.3 pounds heavier at IL weeks thai
where no solubles were used and o..
pounds heavier at "a weeks. Fec
efficiency was improved by 10 per
cent to IL weeks but lowered by
percent from IL to "a weeks, prob
ably due to the reversal in mortalit
rate.
Mortality was lower by As percen

vitarnin BIZ. AureomYcin
The most marked differences in
growth rate and mortality of tur-
keys have been produced by using
a vitamin B-12-antibiotic supple
ment. The antibiotic used was aureo-
mycin. The supplement used was
guaranteed to contain 1.8 mig. of vita
min BIZ and 1.8 mig. of aureomycin
per pound and one pound was added
to 100 pounds of mash. The increased
growth rate and reduction in mortal
ity to 4 weeks was almost pheno-
menal
Two comparisons showed increases
of over 80 percent in growth rate to
weeks and IS percent to IL weeks.
Mortality to IL weeks was reduced
Is percent through the use of the
supplement. but there was an in
creased mortality rate by as per-
cent from IL to "a weeks. The body
weights at "a weeks favored the anti
biotic supplement by "a percent or
90 of a pound.
Feed efficiency to II weeks on
the non-supplemented basal diets
was 81 as compared to 2.94 on the
supplemented diets, or an improve
ment of SIS percent in favor of the
supplemented diets. The overall feed
efficiency to "a weeks was unfavor-
able to the vitamin B-12-antibiotic
supplemented diets, being ATT for
the non-supplemented and 4.67 for
the supplemented. This reversal in
feed efficiency was probably due to
the reversal in mortality.

SUMMARY OF TURKEY
RESEARCH RESULTS


/. Barley has proven better
than oats as a supplement TO
either wheat or corn in turkey
rations TO IL weeks of age and
as a supplement TO wheat TO "a
weeks. Corn and oats. however,
have given heavier 24-week
weights than corn and barley.
2. Barley has produced more
efficient gains than oats in all
comparisons.
8. Wheat and barley have pro-
duced excellent turkeys when
properly supplemented with pro-
tein. mineral and vitamin feeds.
A more complex mixture of
grains and grain bY-products
has not improved the ration.
A. Both condensed fish sol
ubles and vitamin B-12-antibio-
tic supplements have increased
growth rate and lowered NOR
talitY 10 IL weeks but from IL TO

catbird of ours. His cry offendS some

Not for him the bluff honesty of the
jay, or the placid manners Of the wood

He does not appear this summer in

know what has happened. but indica-
tions point to too much spraying with
materials that are toxic to birds. Among
the first to succumb are the catbirds.
The catbird eats both vegetable and
animal matter. and does a good job in
helping keep a. garden in good shape.
At times it may eat cultivated fruits.
but diseases probably would get them
anyway. The catbird ought to be al
lowed his share.
CatbirdS have average bird sense, and
quite as good a chance to survive as
other native species, with the exception
noted.
They often nest too low. and this can
be counted a point against their COM
mon sense.
Householders who know where catbird
nests are should make some special ef-
fort to watch over them, especially in
early morning and just before dusk, the

He calls that expansion "a halfway solution to
an all-out Challenges program that falls far
short of giving us as many atomic and hydrogen
weapons as every expert :. admits and comedies
we are capable of producing" In his opinion, the
military, instead of resisting the idea, should be
strongly urging that supplemental appropria-
tions of about Sc billion-not $3.1 billion-should
be requested in order to double the nuclear-
armaments development and output now off,
cially projected for the next four or five years.
1t may be that Mr.. Jackson has asked that
too much be done too fast. Yet, as member of
the joint congressional atomic committee, he is
in position to appreciate the significance of the
Nevada and Eniwetok detonations, and even
though Senator Hickenlooper and other of his
colleagues feel that he has exaggerated the sit
uation, he reflects the views of the committee as
whole in urging that the progress implicit in
those detonations be exploited to the utmost
with the greatest speed. Probably the pace and
scale of our A-weapons program are about what
they should be at this stage, but it is nonetheess
good to have men like him act as prod against
possible inadequacies.

French Communist Setback

The French working population gave the
back of its hand to the Communists on Wednes-
day when it refused to participate in their strike.
Called by the Communist dominated General
Confederation of Labor, the strike was to have
been nationwide demonstration against war
and for peace, against fascism and for liberty,
against misery and for the vital demands of
labor" The real purpose was to frighten the gov
ernment into releasing recently jailed Communist
Party leaders and force reopening of suppressed
Communist publications.
When D-day arrived, however, only a scat
tering Of workers needed the strike call not even
a full complement of Communist Party followers
themselves and the government did not frighten.
Coupled with the success which the Pinay
government has achieved in recent weeks in
gaining legislative approval of its program of
fiscal reforms, the Communist setback has
heartening significance. France is keystone
power in the Western community and its stability
is particularly vital to Europe. The Communists,
often aided by the intransigence of De Gaulle's
extreme rightist following, have been a menacing
element in the country's political life. Prime
Minister Pinay has made it abundantly clear
that he can be just as tough as political ele-
ment that takes its orders from Moscow The
behavior Of the French workers on Wednesday
demonstrates that they like it that way.

The 'Y Centenary

When the local branch of the worldwide
Young Mems Christian Association was organ
ized hundred years ago, Washington was a
mere village and membership of 40 was a
considerable fraction of the total population.
Today 14,776 men and boys belong to the WASH
ington 'Y' and they, too represent very
important aspect of the life of the Nations
Capital. The influence of the work started in
London by George Williams and his friends in
1874 has been and certainly will continue to be
an asset to the universal community everywhere
Specifically during World Wars I and II the
Y. M. G. A. and its sister organization, the Young
Women's Christian Association, were indispens-
able aids to the cause of freedom. like
observation applies to the global emergency of
1852. There are "Y" agencies in Sc different
countries. Each Is linked by tradition and by
identic purpose to the activities here in Wash
ington. If man or boy has no other home, no
other foundation upon which to stand the
Y. NJ C. A. will meet his need. People who
never have passed through the doors of "Y"
realize that this is true-and are grateful that
it is so. The celebration today is an event of
general significance and is worthy of wide public
recognition. It marks the beginning of new
epoch of service.

Enouqh Atomic Expansion?

The latest series Of atomic tests-eight
detonationS in all-has now come to an end in
Nevada. The next SERIES which is scheduled to
be staged in the summer or fall, will take place
at Eniwetok Atoll far out in the Pacific. The fact
that that site has been chosen suggests that the
new blasts including perhaps some to promote
development of the hydrogen bomb-will be ex-
ceptionaly big and deadly and hence potentially
too dangerous to be set of at proving grounds
here in the continental United States.
Each of these experimental explosions, of
course, signifies an additional American advance
in the field of nuclear armaments. As an official
has Just said of the Nevada SERIES all the detona
tions-the big ones and the "little" ones-con-
tribute significantly to the power and variety Of
the weapons in the Nations atomic arsenal They
are not staged merely to satisfy scientific Curl
oSity. They are staged to test out new devel-
oprnentS, new refinementS, new progress full Of
great military meaning in terms of both tactics
and strategy. Those now scheduled to take place
at Eniwetok, for example, may well open the way
to early production of the hydrogen bomb, which
conceivably could be at least 1000 times as
destructive as the type of A-bomb that shattered
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
This continuing progress-portentous in
way that can hardly be exaggerated-is what
accounts for the current expansion Of our A
weapons program. The expansion has become
doubly urgent because of the policy Of the Soviet
Union, which has staged few atomic explosions
of its own. For the Soviet Union, while stead
fastly blocking every effort to bring this dread
field under international control has made clear
that it is doing its best to overcome our present
lead and eventually move ahead of us with
tremendous stockpile of nuclear armaments-
including, If possible, the H-bomb. In the cir
cumstances, it Is anything but surprising that
the President has asked Congress for supplement
tai appropriations Of $3.1 billion-to be spent
over a period of four or five years-for acceer-
ated research and new productive facilities de-
signed to keep US well ahead in the race. The
need for these appropriations is beyond chal-
lenge The only question to be asked about them
is the one that has been asked by Representative
Jackson of Washington: Are they big enough?
Mr. Jackson, as ne declared in an address to
the House the other day, believes that the top
command of our armed forces has erred on the
too-conservative side in taking position against
expansion beyond the scale envisioned at present.

Never before did we realize how beauti-

what impresses one most. is the
manner of the catbird.
In contrast to the raucous jay the
catbird is gentleman.
EFT meows for food. but does not
gobble. It feeds its young. but does not
keep others from feeding. It has good
time in life, apparently. without spelling
the fun of others.
"It seems to me that this small crea-
ture offers good lesson to faulty human
beings, who never seem to get happiness
without being sort OF killjoy for
others.
'It is especially amazing to me to
note how small and compact the bird
is. I always had an idea that it was
q large bird.
cit may be this specimen that charms

it. and realize that it is perfectly in

sounds is not a. crazy as it sounds.
