Man!power Program

The administrators proposal
for modified military training
program could seriously un-
determine the quality of the
Air Force" the January issue Of
Air Force Magazine charged
today.
In the Air Force Association
publication, Managing Editor
John F. Loosbrock called the
complicated proposal "a poor
answer to the Nations military
manpower needs"
Speaking as a World War III
infantryman, Mr.. Loosbrock
says that any short-term deal
would siphon off thousands of
young men who might other
wise be attracted to the Air
Force.
AS an alternative to "con-
scription. under the guise of
Universal Military Training"
the article calls for improved
services to increase the re-en-
listment rate" Mr.. Loosbrock
recommended that the sizes Of
the active forces of all the serv-
ices be adjusted in line with
stated national policies.

Whipping of0rphans
With Belts Charged |
Al Connecticut Home
BY N. As.eeiossd Press

HARTFORD. Conn. Dec. 90
The State Welfare Department.
charging that orphans were
thrown against walls and
whipped with leather belts as
punishment. has asked Gov. John
Lodge to fire the superintendent
of the New Haven County Tenn
porary Home for Children.
The charges were made yes
terday in a report to Gov. Lodge,
who steps down as governor jan
uary 5. Abraham A. Ribicoff sue
ceeds him. The report was writ
ten by Howard Houston, former
welfare commissioner, who re-
signed last week to accept a
United States Government post
in India.
Gross Inability Charged.
Mr.. Houston told Gov. Lodge
that Fred Stickles, superintend-
ent of the home in West Haven,
should be kept on no longer
than is absolutely necessary"
because a Welfare Department
investigation showed Mr.. Stickels
is grossly unable to manage the
home"
Mr.. Houston said his investi-
gators found that 22-year-old
200-pound attendant once
twisted a boys arm until it
broke.
The same attendant, Mr..
Houston said, dragged another
boy across the dining room floor
and hurled him against the wall
because the boy swore at the
table. Mr.. Houston said the boy
suffered a conclusion.
MIR. StickelS has denied the
charges, many of which Mr..
Houston said were based on
complaints of two former en-
ployes.
Investigation Awaited.
Mr.. Houston said the Child
Welfare League of America will
conduct full-scale investiga-
tion of the home, where State
wards are housed until they can
be accommodated in private
homes.
New Haven County's three
commissioners, who have charge
OF the home, say they have de-
cided not to dismiss Mr.. Stickels
until the Welfare League COM
pletes its investigation.
Although Mr.. Houston placed
no direct blame for conditions
at the home on the commission
ers, they said they could have
been more attentive to what
was going on at the home"
which accommodates about 1870
children.

McCone Farmer Learns Quickly
With 1000 BrOilers on Hand

IL years ago, Jordan set up his
broiler plant after visiting a number
of Oklahoma broiler producers last
winter. He mixed their experiences
with a lot of reading and more talks
with feed dealers in his area
and came out convinced broilerS
would pay.
Jordan followed experiment sta
ton recommendations closely while
installing feeders, waterers and
brooding equipment in partitioned
section of the steel storage building.
He has eight-foot waterers in use
and so five-foot feeders. The water
ers are filled automatically from
55-gallon supply barrels; feeders are
filled by hand. He uses a combina-
ton peat moss-sawduSt litter.
For supplemental heat, Jordan
has dozen small hovers, each con-
tanning four 250-watt brooder lamps.
All are controlled by thermostat to
maintain constant temperature in
the building. He started with these
Fl inches from the floor but, as the
birds grew older, gradually raised
them to 81 inches and replaced some
of the 250-watt lamps with smaller
ones.
Jordan plans to market his broil-
ers at three-pound average weight.
He figures they'll reach the average
in 8 or weeks and, according to his
estimated budget, at a cost of rs
cents per bird. But as the birds
entered their sixth week, he had
hopes of reducing that cost some
what. Some items-electricity, for
example-were less than he'd budg-
eted; none were more.
His 5-week-old chicks averaged
3/8 pounds, and seemed to be just
building up their feed capacity
Their mash consumption-he's using
Il per cent protein commercial
broiler ration-was two tons a week
compared to 800 pounds for the
first week. And they were taking
nearly 500 pounds of a cultured, con
centrated milk whey.
'T don't know how this expert
ment will work out" Jordan sale
then. Marketing may be som,
problem, though I have one contac
and Pm sure I can sell the bird
in the state. I think it will pay off
And if it does, I plan to add anothel
floor to the building and get twice
Us many broilers next year."
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-06-01

JOHN JORDAN, LIKE most farm
ers, has raised a few chickens now
and then. But never before like
this: In a large steel building on
his McCone County farm, nearly
1000 chicks are eating their way
to the broiler market.
Such an enterprise is rare for
Montana, but it's especially unusual
for the rolling plains of this eastern
state county. It's frankly an expert
ment, and Jordan started it knowing
he had much to learn.
Since March, when the 1875 day.
old chicks were delivered, he has
learned in hurry. And now, with
the chicks beyond the halfway
point in their short lives and doing
well, he's optimistic about the ven
tJlre.
