Lamb RatiOns Need
Legl.npe SiLage, Hay

Lamb rations that produce fastest
and most economical gains include
both legume silage and legume hay,
according to an extension specialist
at Ohio State university.
Ralph H. Grimshaw says lamb
feeding trials at colleges and expert
ment stations in Ohio, Iowa and Min
nesota show, "The combination of
legume silage and legume hay as
part of the ration for lambs, as COM
pared to hay or silage alone, gives
the most satisfactory results"
Tests show that adding a half
pound of alfalfa hay a day to a le-
gume-grass silage or corn-silage ra-
ton brings faster rates of gain and
a saving in corn and silage needed
for 10 pounds of gain.
Grimshaw says a ration of shelled
corn and alfalfa hay or legume-grass
silage is cheaper than a ration of
shelled corn, silage and soybean oil
meal. When farmers feed a shelled
corn-corn silage ration, they have to

Mandatory Oil Heater
F|ues Weighed Here

A proposal requiring that all
portable oil heaters and oil cook
stoves be connected with f1ues was
placed before the Commissioners
yesterday.
Members of the Health Depart
ment. including William Carey.
jr., sanitary engineer. and John
r. Pate, director of the Southwest
Health Center, spoke in favor of
the proposal.
Representatives of stove manu-
facturers protested that approval
by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc
should be sufficient. without re-
quiring the stoves to be attached
to fiues. It was pointed out that
many oil heaters and cookstoyes
are in slum areas, where flues and
chlmneys are not a part of many
homes. The Commissioners took
the proposal under advisement.
They set until July % a decision
on proposed changes in the Dis
trict electrical code to conform
with electrical licensing and bond
ing regulations. Union officials
and electrical contractors pro-
tested the suggested technical
changes in the code.
The Commissioners also took
under advisement a proposal to
give police authority to ban river
craft from special areas set aside
Tor boat races or other aquatic
events. Police said they have ex-
perienced difficulty in the past with
boats getting into such areas and
refusing to leave.

had been accused of raping a 25-
year-old colored woman.
Inspector Lloyd Kelly said an
exhaustive investigation revealed
40 basis for the complaint lodged
by Mrs. Idola Edge, of the HOO
block of Neal street NE.
Mrs. Edge. a waitress and
mother Of three, had accused the
two policemen. She said they
forced her into a scout car, In

her across the Anacostia River
to near the Arboretum and raped
her sometime between 3:15 am.
and 4:40 am. The officers said
Mrs. Edge got into the car wiz
lingly and asked to be driven to
someplace where she could get

suaded the Senate Appropriations
Committee to adopt an additional
provision.
This rider raised from $4,000
to $4,000 the salaries of 40 Fed
eral officials who were denied the
increase in last years Federal paw
raise law because their pay was
fixed by statutes and not by the
Classification Act.
In addition, the rider placed
f1ve of these positions-the Assist
ant Secretaries of Administration
Tor the Commerce, Interior, JUS
tlce, Treasury and Labor Depart
ments-under the Classification
Act. This leaves no doubt that
tnese are career jobs and, in all
llkel1hood. places them beyond the
reach OF political appointments.
1t probably means the men now
nlllng the jobs can remain in
them, regardless of which admin
lstration comes in power next
January.
The rider was speedily approved
without debate by the Senate and
accepted without any comment by
House-Senate conferees.
In all fairness, it should be
stated that these Assistant Secre-
tary jobs were intended by Con-
gress to be career positions when
they were created several years
ago. But. for some reason. the
positions were not placed under
the Classification Act; and a sub
sequent decision by the Controller
General held, in effect, that these
positions were not under the merit
system.
That's why Chairman Johnston
OF the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee and several of his COL
leagues drafted the provision that
would bring these jobs under the
Classification Act. They felt that.

25% Of Baltic People
Declared Sent Into
Slavery by Russians
By the Associated Press

BONN, Germany. June IT.
Baltic representatives charged
here today that Is per cent of the
population of the three captive
Baltic countries-1.5 million per-
Sons-have been sent into slave
labor by the Russians.
Representatives of Lithuania,
Latvia and Estonia, leaders of the
central committee of the Baltic
National Committee in West Ger
many. told a news conference "a
Ecoldly calculated plan for the
physical and spiritual destruction
Iof the Baltic people is in full
swing"
The conference marked the nth
anniversary of the first mass de-
Iportations of Baltic peoples in the
first Soviet occupation" of 1941,
when the USSR moved in on the
three republics.
Red Cross Official Speaks.
Among the speakers were Adolf
Slide, director of the Lithuanian
Red Cross, and Robert Liepins.
former mayor of Riga, capital of
Latvia.
Immediately upon seizure of
the three countries in 194O-41,
the Russians began a Sovietiza-
tion program which was inter-
rupted by the Nazi invasion.
When the Red army came back
for "the second Soviet occupa-
tion," the regime became even
more harsh. The refrugee lead
ers said they had documentary
proof that thousands of Balts
were murdered and more than a
million and a half were uprooted,
mostly for deportation to slave
labor camps in the Arctic and
beyond the UralS. The three ma
tions, they said, then were here
metically sealed off from the
world.
"The iron curtain is now so
tight that only a few fishermen
are able to flee across the sea
to Sweden" the leaders reported.
1T is now virtually impossible
even to get a letter out west
ward, because anyone caught
writing abroad is jailed as a spy."
Population Replaced.
To replace the deported popula-
tionS, the Russians were accused
OF bringing in hundreds of thou
sands of persons from the interior
OF the U. S. S. r.. many of them
Balts who lived in Russia since
World War ! and were considered
sufficiently Sovietized to be trusted
back in the coastal areas.
The Russians have clamped on
complete political control over the
puppet Communist officials, have
begun to amalgamate the Baltic
languages with the Russian, and
have been Sovietizing churches
and Baltic culture, the refugees
said. At the same time, a vast
lndustrialization program is being
undertaken in the predominantly
agricultural countries.
Forests have been leveled and
many farms torn up to lay out
industrial complexes, complete
with labor camps" the leaders
reported. I'm the camps are
Bats, Russians, even some Mon
golians and still many German
prisoners of war;"
