the second demonstration will come
easier than the first.
. It was also learned, most sig
nif1cantly, that the German youths
who had known nothing but Nazi
and Communist totalitarianism and
who had been the primary target of
the communication program had
not swallowed the line. The young
sters were in the thick of the fight.
The Reds could comm and no re-
liable support even fro m members
of the Free German Youth, the
junior Communist Party.
. 1t was obvious, too, that the
workers had not been suckered into
the Communist trap.
. Finally, it was apparent that a
Red attack on Western Europe
would be a most difficult trick to
swing. The Peoples Police could
not be depended on to keep order
behind the invaders backs. So, val
liable troops would be needed to
hold down the Germans, and other
subject peoples as well.
What could the Russians do in
the face of their new difficulties?
They could stay, they could with
draw from Germany-or they could
start war of desperation. Obvious
ly for the time being they intend
to stay. They have too much to lose
economically and defensively if they
abandon their satellites.

Federal Hearings
They're Too Long and Tedious;
Executive Moves to Speed Them
By Colt HendIey, Jr.

functioning as an Executive Con-
d, gress." Committees have been
named to study all phases OF the
problem. Reports and recommen-
dations will be drawn. In the fall,
a general meeting will be held.
These recommendations will be de-
bated, compromised and finally
adopted.
A simple example of what can be
done already has been illustrated
by an experiment with 10 Federal
Power Commission cases.
Normally. when an appeal is taken
from the decision of the trial ex-
aminer, attorneys go through the
record and mark the sections they
want printed for the appeal. Then
at some later date they file their
briefs. In marking the record for
printing, they include everything
that conceivably will be useful in
the appeal.
In the experiment with the 10
cases, this procedure was reversed.
Attorneys were asked to file their
briefs first. Then they went through
the record of the hearing before the
FPC and marked the sections they
needed printed to support their
briefs. Astonishingly, three-fourths
of the printing of the record was
eliminated. This resulted in a real
saving in money. In addition the
Judges had a much smaller and
simpler record on which to make
their decisions.
Here are six things the confer
ence is studying at present:
Q The lack of prehearing confer
ences such as the pretrial confer
ences used in court procedure. Such
prehearing conferences could mar
row down the issues and opposing
attorneys could agree on basic facts
before the actual hearing.
0 The tendency of trial examiners
to let almost anything be put into
the record as evidence, even if only
remotely related to the issues. To
change this will take a complete
change in attitude on the part of the
hearing officers. They will have to
be schooled in the idea that nothing
is to be admitted unless pertinent to
the issue.
Q Dilatory and obstructive tactics OF
attorneys during hearings.
o The practice of indlScrlmlnate
incorporation into the hearing rec
ord of other cases or whole volumes
of matter when only page or so OF
the volume is pertinent.
Q The cumbersome method Of get
ting expert testimony.
Q The lack of an index. which forces
upon trial examiners and judges the
endless task of searching volumlnous
records for facts on which they must
base their decisions.
Two Yeors Needed
Judge Prettyman believes that
while the conference is undertak-
ing a difficult job, the result will
be a much more efficient and less
expensive administration of justice.
He estimated it will take about two
years to bring some order to the
field.
Mr.. BroWnell has asked the con-
ference to consider the desirability
of establishing an Office of Federal
administrative procedure. Such an
office would make a continuous
study of the administrative process
and act as a clearing house for in
formation on problems common to
various agencies. In effect, the
office would be a continuation Of
the work the conference has UNDER
taken.
I'VE all know that justice is denied
to the extent that it's administration
is unnecessarily expensive or de-
layed," he declared.

Serafino Roumaldi, nter-American

Jomoicon Worries
Prime Minister William Busta-
marte of Jamaica, an island of the
British West Indies near the
Panama Canal, recently warned of
the increasing danger of COM
munism in the Caribbean area.
BuStamante, former New York
waiter, reported "a bold attempt to
create a state of communism in
jamaica"
The West Indian political situa-
ton needs particular attention be-
cause power there is passing from
whites to colored and Negro groups.
Many of the latter two are union
ized.
1t is significant, however, that
communism may be making the
greatest gains where it is receiving
the least attention-right at our
strategic back yard.

Of them began hours before the
Berlin uprising.
At the first sign of serious trouble,
the Communist government can
celed the scheduled increase in work
loads. This seemed to do little but
encourage the Germans. The
demonstrations spread. apparently
spontaneously, throughout Germany.
There was hardly a city of m pre-
than 10000 population that did not
have its riots and even in tiny
villages there were demonstrations
! 10 Organized Direction
BY the seco1h I'd day, the East Ger
man government was in danger.
There were no signs that the rioters
intended an overthrow of the gov
ernment-there were no signs of
organized direction of the uprising.
But all over Germany the workers
attacked and destroyed government
and Communist Party headquarters.
They released political prisoners and
lynched security officers and public
prosecutors. Defense plants we're
burned. uranium mines were sabo-
tagged. The Peoples Police deserted
in droves. The civilian government
could not come close to suppressing
the demonstrations.
1t was the Red Army, of course,
that restored order-although iso-
lated strikes continued through last
week.
What could be learned from the
near revolt?
. First, it was clear that people
behind the Iron Curtain will resist
even when a victory against the
Russian Army is impossible. And

The weary Civil Aeronautics Board
trial examiner was glad to see the
end of the hearing.
Weeks of testimony had been COM
pleted and all he had to do was
decide whether the two airlines
could be merged. Confronting him
was record consisting of $500
pages. From that mass of material
he had to sift out the facts, deter
mine how the Federal laws affected
the merger, and make his decision
What he had before him amounted
to II books of 500 pages each. Even
if the books were best-sellers. that
would be a heavy reading schedule.
But these aren't anything like best
sellers.
And the facts are almost always
well hidden in any administrative
hearing before a Federal agency. 1t
is the job of these executive agencies
to decide what policy to promulgate.
what rules to establish or which of
two private parties is to win out in
a dispute over the administration of
Federal laws.
A quiet revolution has begun to
dam this engulfing flow of legal
papers that pours forth every time
a hearing is called.
Expense, Time, Boredom
The expense, the waste of time
and the sheer boredom of coping
with so much paper has attracted
the attention of Attorney General
BroWnell, Chief Justice Vinson and
President Eisenhower. Mr.. Brownell
recently commented:
II am convinced we can do much
to reduce the delay and expense in
such proceedings"
More than so Federal agencies
form their policies and adjudicate
disputes between private parties in
such diverse fields as transportation,
communications, labor relations,
atomic energy, subversive activities,
industrial accidents, Indian claims
and milk marketing. Hearings be-
fore trial examiner or a hearing
officer give the Federal agencies
facts on which to base their actions
and policies.
With such enormous records of the
hearings - the example cited is
mythical except for the length of
the record-delay is inevitable. The
longer the record the more chance
there is for the trial examiner to
make an error. With the cost of
printing record something more
than So page and with the salaries
of trial examiners high, the expense
is considerable
Chief Justice Vinson took the ini-
tiative last March to bring this situ-
alton to the attention of President
Eisenhower. He referred the Presi-
dent to report of the Judicial Con-
ference of the United States which
examined the causes of long delay,
great expense and voluminouS rec
ords in the Federal agency cases.
Mr.. Vinson suggested that a con-
ference be called to study possible
remedies for a situation that is get
ting out of hand.
The President enthusiastically did
just that. He commented that it
was a chance for public service of
benefit to both the citizens and the
Government. He named Judge E.
Barrett Prettyman of the United
States Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia as chairman of
the Presidents Conference on Ad-
ministrative Procedure. Representa-
tives from all Federal agencies were
added later.
Since then, the little publicized
group has embarked on a project
that actually is a new experiment
in Government in this country.
The agency representatives are

The Reds frightened their grip
on the country, however. and
dragged the Germans on down to-
ward Russia's own standard of liv-
ing.
Early this year lore restrictions
were imposed. Here and there small
strikes and local protests were
staged. Occasionally the authori-.
ties would back d bwh. The vic
tories were minor, however, and
the burden of the workers para
disc grew with each week.
Sudden Concessions
Then about a week before the
June riots there were sudden extern
sive concessions to the farmers and
businessmen and to church groups.
But there were no letups for the
workers. Instead it was announced
that work quotas would be increased
again. Apparently the Communists
intended to improve conditions in
East Germany in an attempt to i'm
press West Germans and influence
the coming West German elections.
The burdens which were to be re-
moved from the lucky groups, how
ever, were to be heaped onto the
backs of the working men.
That was the last straw.
Encouraged by the recent con-
cesSionS, the workers risked open
defiance of the Red government.
The biggest spark flashed in East
Berlin where construction workers
started to demonstrate and then
were joined by thousands of their
striking compatriots. Demonstra-
tions elsewhere in East Germany
started at the same time-and some

of the Soviet military counter
intelligence wanted the American
correspondent to transmit a ficti-
tious Soviet mobilization plan to a
member of the Japanese Embassy
with whom Reswick was on friendly
terms. The pressure put on him was
great, but he succeeded in refusing
by appealing to Soviet leaders over

neapolis and Chicago, whose pen
sions, the union says, range from
$41.38 to $6318' above Washing
ton's-and from ST to $50 more than
the union is asking.
The figures marshaled on both
sides are accurate, but misleading.
Capital Transit claims its pension
plan is one of the best in the indus
try-but goes outside the industry
for examples with which to bolster
it's argument. And the union, in
selecting four examples to prop UP
it's side. has taken the four transit
industry pension plans that are far
and away the highest in the coun-
try.
The transit company. in its appeal
to the public, made it appear that
the union had no reason whatever
to discuss pension plans at this
time. AS matter of fact, two
year contract on pensions expired
June 30, which was the unions rea-
son for moving in on the pension
front.
This contract was granted after
the brief strike of July, 1851, as an
additional sop to get the strikers
back on the job. The unions posi-
ton is that when contract expires
it is obviously time to talk about q
new one.
But Transit points to the no-strike
pledge in the wage contract-a diff
ferent document entirely. This
agreement, signed last summer, has
until June 30, 1855, to run, and does
indeed contain clause against
strikes Gas the company says as
we'll as an arbitration clause Gas the
union says.
OfficioIs Hold OF
BY union standards, the time was
ripe for a strike at midnight last
Tuesday. A strike vote had been
taken, but the union officials held
off pending further efforts at settle
ment. Aside from conferences with
the mediator and the District Com
missioners, the union has not yet
reached first base. However, the
actual walkout still is being held in
allegiance.
Meanwhile, the peasants are
standing by for the signal to park
their automobiles on the car tracks.
This recurring situation is close
enough to anarchy to appeal to the
baser instincts of any one who has
ever looked for a curbside space in
traffic -jammed downtown Washing
ton.
Not heard from in the current
fracas is the class most likely to cash
in on a transit strike-the omni-
present and normally vociferous
Washington taxi driver.

Grass Tetanv
BY ]. w. Stafford, D.V.M.

cattle has been observed everv
spring in eastern Montana and Wvo-
ming. In some sections of this area
there seems to be an increased num-
Der of cases reported this spring.
Grass tetany is an affliction pri-
marily of cattle, but it also affects
sheep and horses at times. The dis
ease shows up quite suddenly. with
muscle twitching, spasms, convul-
sions that are, at times, interspersed
with short periods of paralysis. The
disease, in this area, is most fire.
quently seen in beef cattle that have
been out on green grass for week
or two. Cows are most frequently
affected, but both sexes have been
observed having grass tetany.
Research workers have found that
cows affected with grass tetany have
a magnesium blood plasma level of
O.5 to 0.9 mig. per cent as compared
with a normal level of 81 to 90 mig.
per cent. Normal cows usually have
a calcium blood plasma level of 1899
ing. per cent.
The average blood plasma level of
calcium m cows affected with grass
tetany was found to be 6.63 mig. per
cent. 1t was found that when a low
calcium blood level was superim-
posed on the low magnesium blood
level, it resulted in the terminal low
ering of the inorganic phosphorus
blood level.
Changes Unexplained
Why these changes occur have not
been explained. 1t is even more diff
flcult because the condition occurs
after they nave been on the new
green pastures in the spring. Green
grass is usually high in magnesium
and calcium. Those that have inves-
tigated the condition have checked
the grass where grass tetany occurs
and found them to have adequate
amounts of these minerals.
The answer to this condition will
probably be found as the result of
basic research in physiology. Physi-
ologists know that certain mineral
ions must be present in the body to
carry out normal life processes. The
intimate details of the use and con-
troll of the various mineral ions in
the nervous system and the neuro-
muscular system remain obscure.
Prompt Treatment Necessary
The treatment of grass tetany is
urgent and imperative. The mortal
ity rate in untreated animals affected
with grass tetany is very high. Early
treatment is essential in effecting
the greatest possible recoveries. Vet
erinarians attempt to bring the blood
plasma magnesium and sometimes
phosphorus levels back to normal by
intravenous injections of medicines
containing these minerals. Analysing
the results of the treatment of grass
tetany over wide area, including
early and late treatment, the recov-
cry rate is between SO and 20 per
cent.
1t is the observation of many vet
erinarians that the incidence of the
condition has been reduced m the
spring, if the stockman takes the
cows off the new green pasture
every night for the first two or three
weeks and feeds them hay.
