Delaware State Museum

An exhibit entitled Early Agricul-
tural Implements was opened in
the Number 2 Building of the Del
aware State Museum recently, and
has attracted much favorable atten-
tion from many of the visitors who
have thus far viewed it.
A glimpse into the past, reveal
ing the labors of the farmer of
yesteryear and the implements
he used, is presented by the exhibit.
Displayed in a setting of Weathered
boards from a dismantled barn
owned by Mr.. Charles T. David.
near Dover, are a variety of early
agricultural implements, together
with seri"s of wOOdcut reproduce
tiOns showing the labOriOus man
ner in which many of the now less
familiar tools were used.
Implements for tilling the soil,
sowing, and harvesting are includ-
ed, as we'll as numerous accessO-
ries. In addition to the early plOw
with an iron mOldbOard for turning
the top soil, a single-handled sub
soil plOW, used to follow this regu-
lar ploW to stir and loosen the soil
to q greater depth without bring
ing any part of it to the surface, is
also displayed. A single and dOu-
BILE OK yoke, as we'll as a double
calf yOlk, are reminders of the days
when oxen were employed in Della
ware to pull the plows and various
carts. A model of a cart drawn by
two oxen, which was carved many
years ago by an elderly Negro of
Sussex County, is featured in the
exhibit, and serves we'll to illustrate
the role these animals played in
this area in farming in bygOne days.
In addition, several pairs of OK
shoes are exhibited.
A grain cradle, a reaper's sickle,
corn knife, hay knife, and several
husking pegs of different ages are
among the examples of the tools
once used by the farmer in harvest
ing his crops. A fail, a primative
wooden implement used to thresh
grain, and a flaxbrake, employed
to break the hard outer layers of
the fax plant previous to it's be-
ing prepared for spinning. are in
cluded in the display Both of these
objects have aroused much lively
interest and comment from visi-
tors. Among other objects included
in the exhibit are a wooden wagon
jack; a handcarved hOminy NOR
tar and pestle; a corn planter;
several varieties of grain; and a
wooden half-bushel grain measure,

Official Says IFL Didn't
Keep Contract When
Co. Tried to Name Bosses

NEW YORK, Up 49, A former
steamship company official told
the waterfront crime hearing yes
terday the AFL International
Longshoremen's Assn. failed to
live up to its contract when the
company tried to name its own
hiring bosses.
The New York State Crime
Commission, probing criminal
conditions. ON the worlds biggest
waterfront, has heard many wit
nesses say the situation cannot be
improved until racketeers are
driven out of influential posts.
Willard L. Swain, former SUI
perintendent of terminal opera
tons of the Atlantic, Gulf and
West Indies Line, told the COM
mission the company had tried to
name its own hiring bosses, guar
anteed by their contract with the
union.
"But we could not hire our own
hiring Bosses" Swain said.
At one conference about the sit
uation, Swain testified, lila Pres
ident Joseph r. Ryan told him:
"Under the contract you have
the right to do that [select hiring
foremen and dock bosses] but
our men like to select their own
hiring bosses and l doubt if you
can get the men to work if you
do that"

US. Prison Camp
Planned i'm Alaska

ANCHORAGE-The possibility
that Alaska may get federal
prison work camp for the custody
of short-term prisoners or first
offenders was indicated recently
by Roy Casey, newly appointed
superintendent of Alaska federal
jails.
At the same time Casey said
bids for construction of a new
federal Jail for Anchorage will be
called for shortly after the first
of the year. 1t is hoped that work
on the new $48O,O00 structure
can begin during the coming con-
struction season.
An employee of the Federal
Bureau of Prisons for the past 10
years, Casey previously served as
prison inspector in the western
part of the States. His Alaskan as.
signment, a newly created post, is
for three years. .-. T.. s-.....
my headquarters will prob
ably be in Anchorage, since this
city has the largest number of
prisoners" he said, land also in

pense of taking all but hardened
criminals and persons who re-

Bartlett Calls on
Congress to End
Waterfront Tieup
(BY THE ASSOCIATED Press,

Alaska Delegate E. L. Bartlett
called for a special session of
Congress Monday to end a water
front tieup blocking ship move
ments between Seattle and the
northern territory.
The appeal was laid before
Presidential Assistant John R.
Steelman in Washington as rep
resentatives of Alaska's attorney
general and affected Seattle ste
vedoring and steamship firms
joined in legal action designed to
solve the jurisdictional dispute.
The tieup, which started when
IS longshore foremen split from
the AFL International Longshore-
mems Association and formed an
independent union, is now in its
3Oth day. Picketing by the LIZA,
which wants all foremen hired
through its halls, has cut heavily
into Seattle-Alaska shipping.
Three witnesses took the stand
in the Seattle court action and,
with q scheduled to be called,
observers predicted long hear
ing on the application Of the en-
ployers, Alaska Treasurer Henry
Roden and Atty. J. Paul Cole for
a temporary restrainer to halt
picketing.
Bartlett said he submitted
three-point legislative program
proposed by Juneau newspaper
editor Jack Mcfarland to Steel
man, who promised it would be
placed before President Truman
when he returns from Indepen-
dence, Missouri.
The delegate said he realized
there was only a remote POSSIBLE
ity a speedy decision would be
called but he made the proposal
in belief only congressional action
could solve the tieup.
Bartlett proposed:
l. Repeal of a maritime law
which prevents Alaskan ports
from being served by Canadian
steamship lines;
2. Strengthening of the Taft
Hartley Law to prevent shipping
service tieups by jurisdictional
strikes;
3. Strengthening Of the author
ity of the Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Services.
Bartlett acknowledged the first
two proposals are controversial
and predicted strong opposition.

Middlesex County Prosecutor
Alex Eber said that bad invest
ments engulfed Horley. whom he
referred to as very generous
man."
HE liked to help people. He
made personal loans with bank
funds" Mr.. Eber said of him.
Church Officials Surprised.
Shock and surprise at the en-
bezzlement news was registered by
church and community officials,
who held the mild-mannered Hor-
ley in high esteem. He is warden

in the red, the county prosecutor
Approximately $150,00O Of the
loss may be recovered, Mr.. Eber
said, adding that the embezzling
began possibly about
three years ago.

of money was either used
