McKe|din Opposes
Andrews as Airport
By the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, May 3O.-Gov
McKeldin urged today that re-
sponSible authorities not be
"stampeded" into the choice OF
Andrews Air Force base to re-
lieve overcrowded traffic condi-
tions at Washington National
Airport.
The Governor, a hacker OF
the proposal to shift Washing
toms overflow traffic to nearby
Friendship International Air
port, repeated that Friendship
is an outstanding alternative. i"
He said the difference in travel
time from Friendship and An
drews to Washington is mod
est" and would not justify what
he called the hazards of joint
military and commercial opera
lions at Andrews.
Furthermore" Gov. Nickel
din added in a statement, CON
verting a military airport into
one for joint use will require a
substantial expenditure of pub
lie funds at a time when econ
omy is the watchword."
Announcement was made in
Washington this week that a
tentative agreement had been
reached between Commerce Sec
rotary Weeks and Air Force Sec
rotary Talbot on joint CONNER
clal and military use of An
drews Field. The agreement is
to be followed by conference

and-lattice floor. Here they stay
until about the first of August, when
they are moved out on range.
That first moving day, by the way,
is likely to be near-circus to the
observer. The Braigs drive the birds
to the range area.
1--WE have some troubles" Tony
admits. ''They know only one home,
and that's the sunporch. It's easier
moving them that way than by
hauling. But if we let them get
away from us and tramp through
wheat field, they'll pound it down
deeper than a band of sheep could"
Later moves are relatively easy,
since the turkeys by nature will flock
to the range shelters and feeders.
Darnpness of their area generally
prevents the Braigs from moving the
birds to range earlier, though the
August date fits in conveniently with
haying. Also, they use range as a
disease preventive rather than feed
supplement. They figure the feed
value of the alfalfa or stubble range
is very little, anyway, because the
turkeys can't Craze effectively with
only half a beak.
On the range, Braig fences his tur-
keys in approximately a two-acre
area. One week, he puts feeders,
waterers and shelters in about half
of this plot and, since the turkey
doesn't want to get too far from any
of these, only about an acre gets
tramped down. The next week,
Braig moves the equipment to the
other half, and the turkeys utilize
that section. After two weeks, then,
he moves the fence and equipment
to another location and starts all
over.
Generally, alfalfa range is used
first; then, after harvest, stubble.
And a different area of his 120 acres
in small grains and hay is used each
year.
Commercial feeds play a major
part in the Braigs' turkey business.
The poults get no other feed until
in their second month. Then Braig
gradually adds a small amount of a
homegrown oats-barley equal mix
ture to the commercial ration, in
creasing it until the ration is about
half commercial feed and half home
grown. In the last few months of
their life, the 1900 turkeys eat about
1000 pounds of this feed day.
The Braigs market their turkeys
off the range-about half at Thanks
giving and the remainder for the
Christmas trade. Some, however,
are sold earlier as fryers. They kill
and dress the birds themselves, and
sell most of them through Kalispell
and Whitefish retail outlets.

eminent hearing room yesterday
for lucrative travel routes thru
out the Far East.
First to be called, by Civil Aer-
onautics Board Examiner Thomas
L. Wrenn, was Northwest Airlines
which wants:
l. Permanent authority to- oper-
ate its present route through the
Pacific Northwest and Alaska to
Tokyo, Taipei, Formosa, and Man
lila. Northwest's temporary certi-
ficate expires July 81.
z. A 10000 mile extension
throughout southeast Asia into
India. Northwest said a link at
Calcutta with the system of Trans
World Airlines (TWA) would pro-
vide globe-girdling service to

Anyways.
3. A permanent route to Hong
Kong, now operated under an ar
rangement with the British-owned
Hong Kong Anyways. In the event
the British withhold permission to
serve Hong Kong, Northwest pro-
poses to operate through Portu-
guese-owned Macau, down the
Chinese coast from Hong Kong.
The Civil Aeronautics Board
last year ruled on the air service
pattern across the Atlantic to Eur
ope and the Middle East. The

$4,000 Jobs MAY
Lose Protection
OF Civil Service

WASHINGTON, R- Chairman
Philip Young of the Civil Service
Commission announced Monday
President Eisenhower soon will
issue an executive order for
review Of about $4,000 jobs, &c.
900 in this country and $4,000
overseas, to determine whether
they should be stripped of Civil
Service protection.
Young said posts involved will
include specialists jobs brought
into the Civil Service in 1947 by
an executive order of former
President Truman.
Young said he couldn't guess
how many present job holders
might be replaced. but said veter-
ans won't be affected. He added,
however, that 1900 of about 5000
government attorneys in the group
may be let out.
Monroney said in an interview
he thinks the Senate Civil Service
Committee, of which he is a mem
Der, should call Young before it
for an explanation of the order,
affecting what Civil Service calls
"Schedule A."
II think old-line Civil Service
employees who were placed in
Schedule A by department heads
who wanted their specialized SER
vices should be protected against
a patronage grab" the Oklahoma
Senator said.
II know that many Of them
were so classified in the Defense
Department because of the secret
nature Of their work and these
career people should be protec-
ted"
Republicans in Congress have
been complaining that they have
found it difficult to get jobs for
party constituents, in many cases
because the appointees Of the pre-
Vious administration who hold the
posts are protected by Civil Ser
vice.

House Of Representatives
Votes to Give Members
Substantial Tax Relief

WASHINGTON, R-The House
of Representatives, which since
last February has kept bottled up
a bill for individual tax reduction,
has voted to give its own mem
bers substantial tax relief.
But the Senate may knock the
plan in the head, as it did last
year.
Without debate and with no
audible opposition, the House vot
ed Monday to allow members of
Congress to deduct all their Wash
ington expenses when they figure
out their tax bills. They can de-
duct lodging, food, taxicabs, tele-
phone charges and so on for them
selves but not for their families.
For tax purposes, their legal
residences would be in their home
districts, and all Washington ex-
penses would be considered bust
ness expenses and deductible for
tax purposes. Congress members
may now deduct up to- $4,000 a
year as Washington expenses.
Sen. Williams R-DeD, who led
the Senate fight against the pro-
posal last year, said he would
fight it again this year.
