Taft Sees Eisenhower
As Arbiter in Cabinet
Labor Law Dispute
By The Assoeioted prsss

Senator Taft, Republican OF
Ohio, said yesterday President
Eisenhower may have to resolve
differences between two Cabinet
members over proposed amend
ments to the Taft-Hart Act.
Senator Taft said in an in
terview that Secretary Of Labor
Durkin and representatives Of
Secretary Of Commerce Weeks
still are at odds on some points
after series Of meetings by a
committee named to suggest
changes In the law.
Besides Mr.. Durkin and Mr..
Weeks, other members Of the
group are Senator Taft, and the
chairman Of the congressional
labor committees, Senator Smith,
Republican Of New Jersey and
Representative McConnell, Re-
publican Of Pennsylvania. The
White House is represented by
Bernard M. Stanley, the Presi-
dents special counsel.
Agreement Uncertain.
Il think we can get through
IN about three more meetings.
Senator Taft said. 'But I am
not at all sure that Durkin and
Secretary Weeks representatives
can agree on all Of the proposals.
In that case. we viii have
10 have the assistance Of the
President In working out an
agreement. He has taken a very
> great personal interest in the
matter"
The target 10 agreement on q
dozen or more amendments
which Senator Smith and Mr..
Mcconnell would Immediately
: introduce In Congress and for
which they would seek the sup
port Of their labor committees.
Congressional leaders plan to
seek action by Senate and House
IN 1854.
The committee trying to draft
the changes Is believed to have
reached substantial changes in
the following areas Of labor
management relations:
Increasing the National Labor
Relations Board from five to
seven members: allowing the A.
F. Of L. building trades unions
to write special union shop con-
tracts compelling workers to join
the union after the seventh day
on the job; permitting strikers
to vote In representation elec-
tions even If they have been per-
manently replaced; and either
extending the Taft Hartley laws
nom Communist oath provision
to employers or dropping it alto
gether as ineffective.
BOycOtts One Issue.
Serious disagreement is re-
ported in the highly critical area
Of secondary boycottS- ac-
tivity which involves pressure
on a. neutral employer to gain
concessions from another en-
ployer.
Mr.. Durkin was said to have
taken q no-retreat position on
. proposal by Mr.. Weeks to
tighten up the law further
against picketing Of q neutral
employer.
Mr.. Weeks was reported to
have insisted that neutral en-
ployerS be afforded complete
legal protection against being
caught In the middle Of q labor
dispute involving others. Mr..
Durhn argued that no employe
should be forced to cross a picket
line, even though his employer
was not directly involved In q
dispute.

MALADMINIsTEREp FARM LAWS

Inc wholesale prices of agricultural pro-
ducts have been dropping, in some cases
sharply. This has led to honest fear on the
pars OF some producers that an agricultural
emergency may be in the offing, and that the
present price-suppOrt and related laws are
not adequate to cope with the situation. The
rear has been fed by politically-inspired in
situations to the effect that the present Al
ministration, and particularly Secretary of
agriculture Benson, are not genuinely SYM
paCneuc TO the farmers problems.
Such views as these were vigorously and
Ielllngly disputed by Senator Bridges in a
recent speech on the floor of the Senate.
The prime cause of the trouble, Senator
bTldges said, lies not in the laws themselves
out IN the way the laws were n1aladminis-
Tered IN the past. Unmanageable surnIuses
were built up in the government warehouses
ana small effort was made to dispose of them
even When conditions were favorable. AS
one example, he cited corn. The law gives

The PERIL oE PEACE

PanmunjOm is back in business
again. The sO-caIled 'liason
groups" of generals, admirals and
lesser officers are now at work on
arrangements" for top-level dis
cussiOn of the exchange of sick and
wounded prisoners of war. If and
when this great forward stride is
taken, the Reds, both Chinese and
Russian, seem to mean that peace
negotiations should follow.
Hopes are higher than they have
been since the opening days of the
initial Truce Talks" at Kaesong
in July 1851. Red China's Prem

broadcast from Peiping, accept

those unwilling be turned over to

M. MOlOtOv, then applauded Chou,
saying he was sure the offer would
be correctly understood in the
United States" He also slipped in
joker that may mean Russia will
consider admission OF Red China
and North Korea to the U. N. as
necessary to peace negotiations.
President Eisenhower told his
press conference that he would
take all Communist peace Overtures
at face value, that the Red Chinese
had made a definite offer to ex-
change the sick and wounded, and
that he hoped this could be accom-
plished quickly
In Tokyo, General Mark Clark,
who ordered the reactivatiOn of
PanmunjOm, warned "I think this
is a good time not to be too Opti-
mistic or too pessimistic." Remind

taken his cue perfectly from Malen-

Europe and at the U. N. in New
York. Some experts" explain that
Russia needs peace at this time so
the MalenkOv regime can gather

primary purpose in writing this

alarm as 1t should be remembered
that, while one of these storms may
strike anywhere in this area, the

BABSON Discusses Korea And Your lob

NEW YORK CITY, April 10 -
Readers will be interested in re-
membering that two weeks ago in
this column l stated: Churchill
could be a great factor in bringing
the Korean War to an end. There
fore, l still believe that 1853 will
see a Korean truce unless one of
the satellites kicks over the apple
cart"
What A Truce Means
A truce merely means cessation
of fighting to ascertain if terms
for peace can be arranged, but
chances for peace are, of course,
greatly enhanced by an armistice.
If peace should come in Korea,
what would it mean to the aver
age American? Perhaps the most
Immediately important effect would
be the loss of overtime and other
extras which have come to be con-
sidered as fixed wages. Some fam
lilies are already frantic, especially
those with teen-age children, who
claim they will be "disgTaced" if
the car, or television, or fur coat
is taken away from them. During
a truce these people, at least, will
be cautious about future INSTALL
ment commitments.
Peace in Korea does not mean
that our rearmament program will
be cut down this year. Already too
many families are cutting down on
meats, doctors, dentists and other
expenditures which the neighbOrs
do not know about. This explains
the record decline in the sale Of
some commodities, due, in part, to
a fear of. Korean Peace.

Few TOrnadOes Are
Expected On Shore

Recent study on the freuuencv ~
tornadoes in Maryland and Della
ware indicates that those which
exact loss Of life or heavy pro-
perty damage occur very infre-
quently, according to G. N. Bran
cato, Section Director of the II. 8
weather Bureau for Maryland and
Delaware. Tornadoes also 90 nm
der other names, such as twisters
or cyclones.
The study shows that only three
tornadoes, all in Maryland, have
taken toll Of more than one life
and only four have caused proper-
" damage in excess of 5000, 900.
an the last 81 years, ninety per
cent OF the loss Of life by lorna
does has Seen ascribed to three
OF these storms.
The greatest loss of life in a
tornado, according to Mr.. Branca-
10, occurred when one struck a
-schoolhouse at La Plata, MARYLAND.
on November 9, 1926, killing four
teen pupils. A series of tornadoes
on June %, 1914, had their main
centers of action near Oakland and
Cambridge. Five persons were kill
ed and property damage in excess
Of $1,O0O,OOO resulted. The third
devastating tornado occurred on
May 2, 1929, in Frederick, Howard
and Montgomery Counties with a
death toll Of six persons.
Tornado frequency in Maryland
and Delaware is greatest in May
and August with June and July not
far behind. During the last thirty
seven years, there have been re-
ports of 48 tOrnadOes but it is
quite likely that some have gone
unrepOrted. The most frequent oc-
currence of twisters has been in
Garrett County, followed by BaIti-
more, Montgomery and Frederick
Counties. Allegany, st. Marys and
Worcester Counties have not re-
corded any of these storms. In Del
aware, there have been three tor
nadoes in Sussex County and two
in New Castle County. Although
Kent County has never reported a
tornado, there has been some tor
nadO activity at Marydel, Maryland,
within a stones throw Of Kent
County.
A tornado has a funnel-shaped
cloud with upward spiraling winds
of terrific velocity. The speed of
the wind has never been measured
but is estimated to be up to five
hundred miles per hour. They us
ually occur during the afternoon
and evening, move generally from
thea southwest towards the north
east, and have an average forward
motion Of 25 to 40 miles per hour
but have been known to travel
faster than 100 miles per hour.

UPSY DAISY! o,
Most newspaper publishers, we
recall, seemed almost enthusiastic
about that ten per cent increase in
their mailing costs last year. II
was their position, that second
class postal rates had been too low
that they did not. want any Gov
ernment subsidy.
Well, now comes the second ten
per cent boost provided BY the
same law. 1t places a little extra
strain on patriotism and independ-
ence. But we knew it was coming.
we applaUded the idea of stepping
the rates up gradually instead of
sOcking us all at once. Perhaps we
expected to be rich by now. But in
any case we should be able to grin
and bear it. This reminds us, how
ever, that the third boost, ten per
cent more, comes next year. How
about that? viii we laugh that off
too? Maybe NEXT year, we'll be
rich.
But Mr.. Summerfield, do you still
tote all that Government mail for
free? Can't those bureaucrats pay
for it out of their budgets? That
would at least tighten the load.

Recent military leaks, says De-
fense Secretary Charles E. Wilson,

Egg Washing Takes
Simple Rules


Cleaning eggs takes more time
Inan producing eggs. w. T. Meal
llsIer, marketing specialist of tbe
delaware Agricultural Extension
service, points out that regardless
OF now dirty eggs are cleaned. thew
are never as good quality-wise as
eggs that don't need cleaning in
the first place. So the first consid-
Grafton is to produce as clean
eggs as possible.
But for those eggs that do have
to be cleaned, at present, washing
with sanitizing detergent is about
the best solution, says McAllister
A few simple rules should be fol-
lowed.
The important thing is to remove
dirt as soon as possible, before Il
hardens on the shell. This makes
cleaning easier, and is safer from
the sanitary viewpoint, since bac-
terra can pass through the egg
shell. The sooner dirt is removed.
the less chance of contaminating
the egg.
Northeastern Poultry Producers
Council (NEPPCO) is testing sani-
tizing detergents especially for
washing eggs. They have a list
which have proved satisfactory in
their tests, and are recommending
them to egg producers This list
can be had by writing to the North
eastern Poultry Producers Coun-
Gil, Trenton, N. J.:
NEPPCO stresses that ordinary
household or dairy detergents are
not satisfactory for washing eggs.
The washing detergent should be a
sanitizing solution such as one OF
the NEPPCO approved ones, in or
der to kill bacteria on the egg.
The washing solution must be
Kept warmer than the egg to pre-
vent drawing the solution through
the she'll. Use a temperature of be-
tween 10 and 13O degrees Fahren-
heit. Wash the egg no longer than
three minutes. The shorter the
time the egg is in solution, the bet
ter. Change the solution often. Give
the eggs quick rinse in 13O de-
gree F. water with a sanitizing ag-
ent added. Allow the eggs to dry
before they are packed.
But McAllister stresses that egg
cleaning is not a substitute for pro-
ducing clean eggs. Production OF
clean eggs means less risk from
spoilage, and higher quality. Have
plenty Of clean nests, keep the
houses dry, and gather eggs fire.
