Research scientists are now seeding the
paunch, or rumen, of cattle, calves and lambs
with millions of extra bacteria. They are boost
ing the paunch population with new micro
scopic bugs ;. the kinds that may help
those already present in breaking down feeds
and changing them into digestible nutrients.
That would mean money in the bank!
Researchers are learning many of the secrets
of bacterial fermentation that enables four
stomach animals to convert roughages and
other feeds into meat. But they still have a
lot of work to do. They want to know the
answers to many more questions about the
different kinds of bugs" the engines they
produce how livestock men can put them to
practical use many other unknowns. These
answers may help avoid pitfalls.
Continued research on ''rumen seeding
the scientists hope, may produce this practical
result: Feed fortified with the right kind of
"6ugs" may alIotU range animals coming off the
range to be put on full feed in days instead of
weeks. Faster, more economical gains appear
to be possible because the new bugs or
what goes with them are needed in the
paunch for quick adjustment to feed-lot
feeding. asS

Adequate Protein
for roductive
Farm Animals
by George K. Daois.
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Gainesville, Florida

Be sure your young animals kept for breeding stock
get adequate amounts of protein. This is particu-
larly important between weaving and breeding ages.
By keeping protein intake high, along with vita
minis and minerals, you improve the productive
potential of your breeding stock. And maximum
production of healthy offspring is essential to
profitable livestock operation.
Cows that drop calves every year for 10 to II
years; that raise up to eight good-sized
filters; ewes that live to lamb regularly for or
years these the type of animals that pay
their way farms and ranches. And protein is the
most important factor In maintaining longer
productive life.
For example, gifts intended to be used for breed
ing purposes are quite likely to be fed the same
ration as market hogs. Actually, to develop gifts
into prolific sows, they should get ration contain
ing 10 to 20 per cent protein shortly after
weaving. All too often beef cattle go through
protein starvation period in winter A 200-lb.
calf has digestble protein requirement equivalent
to the maintenance requirement of mature 1000
Id. Dairy cows frequently get inadequate pro-
TEN when dry This shortage of protein results In
loss of weight, particularly muscle weight. Then,
when feed is increased the cattle regain fat tissue,
but not the lost muscle tissue. And this results in
shortened productive life.
Rapidly growing lambs have a greater need for
digestible protein than mature ewes. Unless the
lamb is fed adequate protein while growing, her
productive life will be impaired If you want long
lived, top-notch producers, you should select your
breeding stock early and put them high pro-
TEN ration during the growing period.

''paunch seeding in the form of special ''bug
pills" can also be effective in bringing cattle,
calves and lambs with digestive ailments back
to good health. One example: Western lambs
shipped to the Corn Belt refused to eat and
drink upon arrival. A ''paunch seeding treat
ment caused a satisfactory response.
''Paunch seeding may soon be out of the
laboratory and experimental stage and be-
come another way to IolOer your feeding costs
through healthier, faster-g gaining cattle, calves
and lambs :. better utilization of all feeds,
with less waste and more gain per pound of
feed fed. Watch for further developments on

1t is the ultimate consumer of meat who usually
benefits when livestock prices decline This is due
to price concessions which meat packers usually
must make in order to sell the increased supply
of meat.
Then retailers can price their meats attractively
and induce new and regular customers to buy
meat at the lower prices. Thus price con-
Stantty naoUes to balance supply and demand-and
meat does not back up to glut markets, but is
bought and consumed.
Consumers have had more total beef lamb and
veal to eat this year than in 1852 about Ia
lbs. more per person. They have also benefited
result of the decline in CATTLE lamb, and calf
prices. For instance, the latest government fig
available at press time show that the average
September retail price of round steak in Chicago
stores was down 20%o from year ago rib roasts
down 2196 hamburger-down 1920 %. and
chuck roasts-down 1890.
Government average monthly figures also show

Who Benefits!

f'Who benefits when cattle and
other livestock prices decline?''
That's a good question. Actu-
ally, both producers and meat
packers stand to lose on a de-

For example Swift owns many hundreds of cat

to process, distribute, and sell

seven to fourteen days :.
even longer for hides, which
require about thirty days in

Meat packers do not buy

beef, lamb and veal in storage at any one time is
never as much as $50 of years slaughter.
When wholesale prices drop sharply, meat pack

The Significance

Perhaps the best summary of
the case was presented by Repre-
sentative Walter, ranking Demo-
crat on the committee.
"I think" Mr.. Walter said, I'VE
demonstrated very clearly that the
Communists are using well-known
and highly placed people, willing
or otherwise, as dupes, and that
the bigger the name, the better for
their cause. place Bishop Oman
in that category.
Certainly Bishop Oman had
been used-perhaps more con-
sistently than would be under
standable in the case of an alert
and we'll informed -Commu-
mist. In future, it was reasonable
to assume, he would be more
careful.
The committees skirts, however,
were far from clean after the
hearing. Clearly it had been dere-
lict in handling it's files. To circu-
late so much false and unverified
material undoubtedly damaged
Bishop Oxnam's reputation.
Probe in the Pulpit
But the significance of the hear
ing lay not only in what it proved
about Bishop Oxnam-or even
about the committee. There also
was significance in the fact that

Congress

zach JANUARY 3, when Con-
gress convenes for another
annual session, it is the custom Of
House and Senate leaders to an
nounce a drive for an early adj
journment. This usually means by
the end of July. Only twice since
the end of World War II has Con-
gress come anywhere near this
goal, and once a Congress (the
81st) adjourned only hours before
the convening of another (the
82d).
Two weeks ago the outlook
for end-of-July adjournment was
good. Then early last week hopes
grew dim. President Eisenhower
handed his congressional wheel
horses a list of must" bills. On
the list we're:
The nine remaining appropria-
ton bills;
Reciprocal trade agreement ex-
tension;
Admission Of displaced persons:
Postal rate increase;
Establishment of a Small Busi.

pected to stall on the free elec-
tions, and probably will want to
discuss withdrawal of troops first,
something the U. N. might want
to leave until after the rules for
elections have been agreed upon.
If things ever do get around to
an all-Korean election, the world
can expect some startling dis
closures. South Koreans claim, for
instance, that only about 3 million
Koreans are left north of the battle
line. Chinese farmers have been
imported, they say, to till fields
abandoned by Koreans fed up with
the Kim II Sung crowd. That is
one more reason why no one, least
of all Syngman Rhee, has much
hope that the Reds will let out
siderS expose any part of North
Korea to non-Reds.
AS Mr.. Dulles remarked at his
now-famous "off-the record" din
ner with newSpapermen last April,
Korean truce will open Pan
dora's box of new troubles. But
troubles you can talk about are to
be sought after if they replace
troubles that must be fought and
died over.

Oman Probe

TARELESS WORDS on one side
~ and careless associations on
the other erupted last week into
one of the most spectacular con-
/ gressional hearings of all time.
The controversial dramatis per-
sonae were:
The House Committee on Un-
American Activities, five Repub-
licans and four Democrats, headed
by Republican Representative Har-
old H. Velde of the 18th down
state) District of Illinois;
Garfield Bromley Ornan, bishop
of the Methodist Church (Wash-
ington area), comprising the Dis
trict of Columbia, Maryland, Del
aware and a large part of Penn
sylvania.
In eight hours of hearings with
in a space of slightly more than
10 hours last Tuesday, three major
QuCSLIOIlO WClC 4d1oCu dllu-d1 OCl
a fashion-answered. The ques-
tionS were:
. Had the committee wrongly de-
picted the totality of Bishop Ok
MANS activities in the dossier it
had compiled on him?
. Had Bishop Oman been, at
times, more enthusiastic than jul
diciouS in making association with
groups having high-sounding
names and Understanding OBJ
jectives?
. Was the committee off on a
full-scale investigation of Red
tainted churchmen, as it had gone
off earlier on a major inquiry into
Communist teachers?
The answer, in each case, seemed
to be yes.
Evening star., 1953-07-26

had used pro-CommuniSt articles.
He resigned because he was listed
as an editorial adviser" but had
never been asked for advice. The
bishop had not, however, used his
influence to change the tenor of
the articles.
. He had been q member of the
Methodist Federation for Social
Action for most of his adult life.
This group, an organization of
Methodists, not connected official
ly with the church, had as officials
the Rev. Harry F. Ward and the
Rev. Jack R. McMichael, two men
named before the committee in
secret session as Communists. The
Identification was revealed for the
first time in public during the OK
nam hearing, but the bishop said
he had known the Rev. Mr.. Ward
to be sympathetic with the Russian
Communist philosophy since the
early '30s. He did not, however,
use his influence vigorously to re-
move Mr.. Ward from the organiza-
ton. The bishop also had his sus-
picions about the Rev. Mr.. Nc
Michael - suspicious that were
later confirmed, apparently by the
FBI. Then, faced with the choice
of fighting Mr.. McMichael or get
ting out, he resigned with protest
against Communist influence in
the organization.
Open to Criticism
Bishop Oman lay himself open
to committee criticism for not TAX
ing more effective action against
the two men whom he suspected
of Communist ties. On the other
hand, they could not have been
expelled from the Methodist
Church without a trial" using
courtroom rules of evidence. The
church did not have the evidence
to make a charge stick.
But for that matter, Chairman
Velde himself might conceivably
be considered to have had a re-
Sponsibility to the church in the
Ward -McMichael matter. An active
and prominent Methodist Iayman,
his voice would have been needed
in church councils If he had pro-
duced evidence available to him as
head of the committee.
When the hearing ended the
committee resolved unanimously
that no evidence had been found
aff1liating the bishop with the
Communist Party. Since he had
never been accused of direct
links, the resolution was beside
the point.
Committee members disagreed
on the outcome of the hearing. To
Mr.. Jackson it was confirmation
of what he always had suspected.
To Representative Doyle of Cali
fornia, Democrat, the bishop had
been cleared.

The Heorinq

About 500 persons, many of them
clergymen, jammed the hearing
room as the afternoon session
started. Bishop Oman, who ap-
peared to be the coolest man un-
der the kleig lights, read an OPEN
ing. statement in which he:
. Criticized the committee for re-
leasing untrue and unverified de-
rogatory information about him
under the letterhead of the COM
mittee;
. Asked that his file be cleaned
up" and that the entire committee
file system be revamped;
. Outlined his own political phi
losophy in unmistakable terms.
The essence of his statement Of
philosophy was fiat rejection of
Communist materialism. Signif1-
cant portions of his views on COM

Then he turned to the files. His
own dossier, he said, had been
