Eisenhower Attitude
On Labor Legislation
Called Reasonable
By the Associated Press

Representative Mcconnell, Re-
publican of Pennsylvania. said
yesterday President-elec Eisen-
hover had taken "a reasonable
and human approach" to re-
vision of the Taft-Hartley labor
law in private discussions earlier
last week.
Commenting on the results of
a conference at Gen. Eisen-
hoWer'S New York headquarters
Wednesday, Mr.. Mcconnell left
the clear inference that no i'm
portant differences existed be-
tween them on labor manage
ment relations legislation.
AS chairman of the House
Labor Committee, Mr.. McCon-
nell will play a key role in bring
ing about changes expected to
be made in the Taft-Hartley
law.
Mr.. Mcconnell, principal
mover for streamlining and
'equalizing" controversial pro-
visions of the law, told a re-
porter: II liked my talk very
well with the general. specially.
I liked his reasonable attitude" /"
Silent on Detail.
While leaving the impression
that a broad area of understand
ing had been established, Mr..
Mcconnell said he did not feel
privileged to discuss details.
It's such a serious issue, and
so important. that I think the
general should be permitted to
express his views-as he will
shortly" Mr.. Mcconnell said.
He adde:
Nothing was discussed there
which changed in any way my
plans for wide-open hearings"
Both the House and Senate
Labor Committees, by agree
ment between Senator Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio and Mr.. Nc
Connell, plan to start hearings
on Taft-Hartely revision about
February /.
Taft Sees Little Change.
Senator Taft, after talks
with Mr.. Mcconnell, said he
helived the House and Senate
will come up with substantially
the same bill"
While Mcconnell refuses to
relate Gen. Eisenhower's views
in detail, his own opinions are
sufficiently we'll known to afford
some insight into the nature of
the understanding"
Mr.. Mcconnell, like Gen.
Eisenhower, opposes any union
busting" tactics, and has said he
favors clear and simple treat
ment of management and labor
alike.
He also advocates a keep
EN- guessing approach to the
problem of dealing with national
emergency strikes.
In this respect he favors re-
tention of the presidential in
junction power, but he would
also provide a variety of alter
native methods as tools with
which the President could effect
q settlement.

Lebanon Voters Rebuff
Anti Western Candidates

BEIRUT, Lebanon, July 49,
Pro-Western Nationalist and

ties chosen in the voting yester-
day were members of the old
Parliament.
Balloting for the 44-seat one
house legislature was in Beirut

naming % Deputies will be
picked in other sections on the
following two Sundays.
With the official count COM
plete in all but 2 Of the 81 cleo
torates, the national bloc seated
four of six candidates nomi-
mated. Three of four independ-
ents Endorsed by the bloc also
won seats.
The Progressive Socialist Par
ty, which has bitterly denounced
Western defense plans for the
Middle East and charged Ameri-
can meddling in the elections,
won only one of six seats it
sought. The solitary winner was
Party Leader Kamal Jublatt.
The Socialist rebuff was be-

simple task. The small flock ran
out the year round picking up weed
seeds, grains, insects and other feed
and being exposed to the rays of
the sun to supply them with vitamin
D.
Perhaps the first big forward step
in poultry nutrition occurred around
1900 with the addition of beef scraps
to poultry rations. Most poultry
writers in the late '90s were recon-
mending beef scraps as a worth
while addition to the poultry ration.
One commercial firm in Chicago
advertised beef meal and beef scraps
in 1899 for poultry and quoted the
New York experiment station as
showing Sc per cent greater gain
with chicks fed animal meals as
compared to those fed only grain.
Drying methods had been de-
veIoped for slaughterhouse wastes
during the '80s and '90s. About
1900, poultry feeders on the Pacific
Coast, principally at Petaluma,
Calf, started using dried tankage
in poultry rations. A year or two
later granulated sizes were offered,
and thousands of tons were shipped
annually from Missouri river plants
to this market.
Then Dried Milk Products
Processes were developed for
drying buttermilk and using it III
poultry feeds shortly after 1910.
Dried skimmilk began going into
feeds during the '20s as a supple
ment to meat or beef scraps The
use of waste materials from fish
canning plants originated on the
west coast around 1910. An eastern
agricultural experiment station was
recommending fish scraps in laying
mash formulas as early as 1916.
The most recent addition to the
poultry feed protein supplement list
has been soybean oil meal. Although
considerable experimental work was
done with this supplement as early
as the '20s, it was not until the
shortage and high price of animal
protein supplements developed dur
ing World War II that the most
extensive use of soybean oil meal
was made in poultry rationS.
The first fat-soluble vitamin (A)
was discovered between 1910 and
1920 at the Wisconsin Agricultural
Experiment station, but the use OF
vitamin supplements in poultry
rations did not develop until the
early twenties with the use of COG
liver oil. supplying both vitarnins
A and D.
And Vitarnin Concentrates
Other vitamin concentrates anC
synthetic vitamins began to appear
in the sos, especially those of the
B-complex group. Dried skim mill
was a major source of the B-vita
minis until during the World War L
years when number of new vita
min-carrying by-products came int
use. For example. in 1888 not
single pound of dried solubles wa
known to be marketed by the dis
tilling industry. Yet, in 1913, abou
100000 tons was used for feeding
purposes.

into prominence during the '40s,
primarily as a vitamin supplement
to rations high in soybean oil meal,
was condensed fish solubles. This
by-product of the fish-processing
plants is rich in the B-complex
vitamins.
The story of vitanin discoveries
and development is long one with
the last chapters yet to be written.
The synthetic and fermentation
methods of manufacturing the B.
complex vitamins in recent years
have materially reduced the cost of
preparing well-fortified poultry
feeds.
Complex Mixture Now
The simple poultry feed of grain
and table scraps or grain and skim
milk of a little over so years ago
has now become complex mixture
containing vitamin supplements in
very minute traces in order to pro-
vide a balanced feed. Poultry
flocks can now be confined with
greater assurance of satisfactory
health. Large scale production is
safer as result of the research
work by federal, state and private
agencies and the application of these
research findings by poultry feed
professors.
The methods of feeding poultry
have also changed almost as much
in the last so years as the poultry
feeds. The progressive steps have
been from the table scraps or grain
and milk fed twice day to a SIM
pie mash mixture fed in limited
quantities along with whole grain
once or twice day, depending upon
the age of the birds. In some in
stances and in certain periods of
development this mash mixture was
moistened and even cooked. The
use of the mash mixture as a sup
plement TO whole grain was de-
veloped in the late '90s and early
1900s to facilitate the inclusion of
beef scraps and milling by-products
in the poultry ration. The use of a
mash mixture has facilitated the
addition of various protein, vitamin
and mineral supplements as thew
were developed.
Large scale artificial brooding has
developed around the mash mixture
which provided a complete food for
the chick.
The mash mixture has been used
with varying levels of protein. This
protein level has determined the
amount of whole grain to feed. The
mash has also in recent years been
crumbles, and used with or without
grains, depending again upon the
protein level.
Poultry mashes, pellets and
crumbles are fed as rule in station
airy hoppers and the grain is either
fed in hoppers or in the floor litter
In the summer when birds are on
range or in yards, the grain may
be fed on the ground.

will carry the results of some ex.
