Government from $3.50 mil
lion to $500 million a year. The
AFGE chief said the loss would
result from added overtime pay
ments and additional recruitment
needed to make up the time taken
by employees for vacation pur-
poses.
Also, many thousands would
quit in disgust If the rider was
enacted. thereby costing the Gov
ernment many millions of dollars
more in training new workers to
take their place. Mr.. Campbell
said.
Mr.. Steward declared the rider
is basically unsound and that
leave matters should be handled by
the proper legislative committees
in Congress-the House and Sen
ate Civil Service Committees
rather than as riders to appropria-
ton bills.
Other union witnesses included
Thomas Walters, operations direc-
tor Of the AFL Government EN-
ployes Council; E. c. Hallbeck,
legislative director of the National
Federation Of Post Office Clerks.
and Russell Stephens. president
of the American Federation of
Technical Engineers.
The witnesses also denounced
the House action as breaking faith
with Federal workers who were
assured last year. when their leave
was cut, there would be no further
tampering of their leave accumula-
ton rights. The new House rider
would require Federal workers to
use all of their 1852 annual leave
by June 80, 1858, or lose the un-
used portion.

Well, the reason nothing has
appeared in print is that nothing
has happened so far. The provi-
sion is part of the third 1852 sup
Elemental money bill, which has
been sent to House-Senate confer
ence. The conferees, however,
have not yet scheduled a meeting,
It's certain. though, that the
retroactive increase will be. ap-
proved by Congress, since both the
House and Senate have approved
this feature as part of the third
supplemental.
LEAVE - The Post Office De-
partment is considering the is
Isuance of an order to prevent
postal workers from taking any
annual leave until after June 80,
when the present fiscal year ends.
This results from the fact that
the additional leave and sick
leave benefits given postal work.
ers by Congress last year will cost
the department about $27 mil
lion in hiring additional workers
to make up for the additional
vacation time given postal en-
ployes. But Congress has refused
to vote the money.

Germany Marks 7fh Year
OF World War Il Surrender
BY the Associated Press

BONN, Germany, May 8.-The
West German government today
marked the 7th anniversary Of
Germany's World War II sur
render by urging Germans to
unite with the Western Allies.
A government statement in the
official bulletin was Bonn's first
public recognition of day which
most Germans choose to ignore.
The statement said that without
Allied aid Western Germany could
never have made its amazing re-
Icovery from the starvation and
misery" of the dark surrender
days.
In a reference to the peace con-
tract with the West. now nearing
signature. the statement added
that lin the same way, we can
only preserve our freedom, peace
and well being with the aid of

House Labor Committee mem.
bers voiced amazement today
when Wage Sterilization Boarc
Chairman Nathan P. Feinsingel
declared that the boards public
members always agreed with one
another.
Mr.. Feinsinger testified thai
public members studying the stee
dispute had a solid conviction thai
the boards recommended settle.
ment was fair and equitable.
"This unanimity among public
members has been true almost
universally and invariably in every
board Of this kind for many
years." he said.
The committee is trying to de.
termine whether the WSB com.
piled with the Taft-Hartley Law
and other national labor-man-
agement policies, especially in it:
handling of the steel case. Mr.
Feinsinger yesterday defended the
boards policies in compliance
with the law.
Settle Differences.
Committee Counsel John For.
sythe asked him today if he coulG
imagine any instance where public
members might differ with labol
and industry members on som'
vital issue affecting the public
interest.
"It never has been done, bu
Its possible" Mr.. Feinsinger re-
piled. "Of course. public mem
bers sometimes hold varying
opinions but they thrash out tht
issues and try to come up with Z
unanimous position"
Mr.. Forsythe and several com.
mittee members said they were
amazed that the public member.
had a far better record oI
unanimity than most courts do
Mr.. Feinsinger said he saw NJ
reason for surprise.
The public members, he ex'
Iplained. try hard to agree because
they realize that a split among
themselves would make a labol
dispute settlement more difficult
No Action on Refusal.
In response to other questions
Mr.. Feinsinger:
/. Conceded that a party to 8
labor dispute would be guilty of q
violation for refusal to bargain
collectively while a Taft-Hartly
Act injunction was in effect. But
nothing can be done if parties re.
fuse to continue negotiations while
a dispute is before the WSB, hi
said.
| 2. Held that WSB authority in 6
certified case does not stop wher
the board makes recommended
tions. The board can continue ef'
forts to bring the parties together
if the President or the parties
themselves request such assistance
he explained.
8. Declared that if he had beer
appointed by the President to
board Of inquiry under the Taft
Hartley Act he could have re
ported his findings on the stee
dispute within a few days.
4. Denied that the boards move
to settle the steel dispute, or hi
own trip to New York early las
month to confer with negotiators
encroached on legal authority o

seed on clean ground he qualities
to become this class of producer.
Approval is based on an agreement
between the county extension agent
and the grower regarding roguing
of the field and handling of the har-
vested crop. In most cases the re-
quirements are as rigid for the pro-
duction of approved seed as they are
for certification.
It is upon the volume Of approved
seed that the large expansion in
acreage of any variety depends. APP
proved seed is used insofar as needed
to take care of the planted acreage,
and the surplus goes as commercial
grain.
Through such system most of the
cereal grain going into commercial
channels is not over two generations
away from certified seed. When the
supply of foundation seed is fairly
large to start with, it is possible
through such a system to change
from one variety to another COM
| pletely in three years time.
The next question of course is
docs this system work?" The 1949
report of the agricultural Statistician
on varieties grown in Montana shows
that 92.1 percent of the 5,906,000
acres of hard red winter and spring
wheat planted in Montana that year
was seeded with recommended var
rieties. Four varieties of hard red
winter wheat constituted 81 percent
Of the planted acreage and five va
rieties of hard red spring wheat con-
stituted 81 percent of the planted
acreage.
IN 1851, 155 growers of cereal
grains for certification had fields that
passed field inspection on 2,815 acres.
These acres were distributed as fol-
lows: Spring wheat Thatcher 1859,
Ceres 1913, Rescue 291, Pilot and
Onas 2; winter wheat-Yogo 167,
Karmont 112, Newturk Is, Wasatch
Is; barley-Titan IT'S, Compana 1856;
oats-Mission 154, Gopher 40, Badger
80; flax 20; corn As.
In the approved seed class which
we find is the class that is respon-
sible for the rapid use of recon-
mended varieties, SO counties pro-
duced 100000 bushels. This amount
of new seed coupled with that which
is only one or two generations re
moved from certification will fur
nish more than enough seed to plant
every acre in the state.
The Montana plan of crop stand.
ardization was designed originally
for, and still strives toward, the pro
lection of quality in Montana cereals
It is the one phase of production
which must be kept at the peak i
Montana is to meet increasing com
petition from other areas of produc
ton.
Two many times the ability Of
grain to produce bushels outweigh
the consideration of the quality OBJ
tanned, and too many times there ar,
requests for higher yields in cereal
when actually the failure to Obtain
satisfactory results lies in the failur
to follow the best methods of see,
treatment, cultural practices and har
vesting methods.
Montana certified seed has the ca
pacity to produce quality and bushel
per acre. Certification is the founda
ton of a county crop standardizatio
