Largely because science succeed
ed decade ago in breeding down
the great gobbler to more manage
able proportions the nation this
year literally is overrun with tur-
keys-61, 100000 by official esti-
mate, an all-time record. Five
years ago, 1949's near-record pro-
duction stood only a little over
41,000000 birds.
BeltsviIIe's Midget Bounty
The boom's end is not yet in
sight. Chief reason is a midget
phenomenon named the Beltsville
Small White. Broad-breasted,
plump and favored to a T - for
true turkey-yet weighing little
more than a healthy chicken, this
custom-bred species is revolution
izing American eating habits. In
stead of appearing only on year
end holidays, turkey now comes to
the table all year round.
Beltsville birds, sent to market
as young as three months, may
weigh less than seven pounds. BY
comparison, the biggest birds of
heaviest breeds entered at the ma
tional turkey convention earlier
this year nudged 20 pounds, dress
ed.
Beltsville Whites, mixture of
domestic strains, an Australian
variety, and the wiry wild turkey
of American woodlands, not only
better fit today's smaller homes,
apartment ovens, and family gath
erings, but also appeal to growers
by color. Their white pinfeathers
are nearly invisible on dressed
carcasSes.

Turkey raising ranks among the
most exasperating of farming en-
deavors. Gobblers and hens not
only seem the stupidest, foolhard-
lest, most scatterhrained of crea-
lures - but they often incline
straight toward suicide.
A turkey poult actually has to
be taught how to eat. Give POM
pous fantailed tom unlimited
water to drink, and he may keep
on drinking until he browns. One
unwary farmer left an empty bar
rel in his turkey run. Half dozen
curious birds hoped inside to see
what was there, and in the ensuing
panic all smothered to death. :
Yet when the founding fathers
were casting about for a national
symbol, Benjamin Franklin SER
iously proposed the turkey, know
ing its ancestry, and remembering
perhaps the huge and magnificent
wild birds that gave the Pilgrims
their first Thanksgiving dinner.
Those plentiful forest turkeys
were not the first the Pilgrims
knew, however. Long before, Span
ish conquistadors under CorteZ
had discovered the Aztecs raising
in captivity strange and succul-
ent bird. Sent to Spain as early as
1917, turkeys spread over all Eur
ope within a century.
One explanation of the turkeys
lasting name lies in possible con-
fusion of the Spaniards' birds with
the guinea fowl, which actually
came to Europe from the Near
East, Another might be in the COB
bler's call, "turk-turk- turk :"

OPENING DAY HUNTING FAIR
COLUMBUS, OHIO Ohio
hunters who took to the fields
on November 18th found both
pheasants and rabbits spotty, rab-
bit hunting success, statewide,
was about the same as last year.
Rabbit decreases showed up in in
tensively farmed areas of western
and central Ohio. More rabbits
were taken in southeastern Ohio
than last year and some areas of
the Miami Valley also showed an
increase.
According to the latest reports,
the statewide pheasant kill was
down about 20@6 from last year al
though the number of pheasants
seen did not show a heavy de-
crease. The grain cropped areas
north-central Ohio) showed a
definite decrease. The heavy cover
remaining over much of the state,
no doubt, had much to do with the
decrease in amount of game taken.
Generally speaking, most of
Ohio's hunters were we'll behaved
while in the fields on opening day.
Calls coming into wildlife head
quarters complaining of trespass-
erS and other violations were few
er by far than for several years.
Hunters are to be congratulated
for the manner in which they have
respected the rights of the farm
er.
PUBLIC FISHING AREAS
COLUMBUS, OHIO - Realiz-
ing the Importance of providing
more public fishing water, Chas.
A. Dambach, Chief of the Ohio
Division of Wildlife, has proposed
the budgeting of approximately
$4,800,000 from fishing license
funds over six-year period for
new construction acquisition and
development of new fishing facili-
ties. In order to work out an equit-
able ALLEGATION of anticipated
funds, a six-year program has
been recommended. In connection
with the proposed lake building
program, certain priorities were
recommended, primarily in areas
where facilities are now seriously
lacking or where future develop
ments may impair completion of
the program.
In explaining the six-year fish
ing facilities program before the
Ohio Wildlife Council, Chief DAM
bach said it should be recognized
that this is but one phase of the
Divisions fish management pro-
gram and the research, education
al, enforcement and management
activities relative to existing and
new waters must continue. The re-
manning fishing license funds are
budgeted of necessity for these
purposes.

Red China Appeals
For Trade, Admits
Embargo Hurts II
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

GENEVA, May 15.-Commun-
ist China appealed today for
more trade with the West and
confirmed indirectly that the
United States imposed trade
embargo was hurting.
Communist China's need for
raw materials and heavy indus
trial equipment was spelled out
at a special news conference
held by Lei Jin-min. the vice
minister for foreign trade who
accompanied Red Chinese diplo-
mats to the Geneva conference.
Mr.. Lei said if trade oppor-
tunities were presented to him
at Geneva he would not decline
the contacts" He is officially
listed as counsellor on the Red
Chinese delegation.
Trade Cut Sharply.
He repeatedly slapped the
United States embargo that has
sharply cut foreign imports into
China. He admitted that the
embargo cut the flow of goods
from outside the Iron Curtain
countries to a trickle in 1851.
He went on to say that the
West European goods which have
traditionally established their
own place in the Chinese market"
are machinery, vehicles, loco
motives, steamships, power gen.
Grating equipment, precision in.
struments, steel products. chem
icals. dyestuffs, medicines and
artificial flbreS."
Mr.. Lei said China was ready
to trade with any nation. in
Guiding Japan, Ion the principle
OF equality and mutual benefit" I"

He said China was ready to
export traditional products"
such as silk. tea, egg products,
soya beans, peanuts. oil and fats,
fruit, tobacco. jute. feeds. ami
NAL by-products, handicrafts
and mineral products.
Mr.. Lei said in spite of the
embargo certain United States
manufacturers and traders are
still maintaining their business

ness establishments we are
prepared to conduct business
transactions with United States
industrial and trade circles

Young Davis, according to the
Associated Press. was the son of
Putnaf Davis, ST., president of
the Davis Larchmont Co., screw
machine manufacturers, and
Mrs. Louise Davis of Greenwich,
Conn.,, who were divorced about
three years ago.
An uncle. Philip M. Davis Of

part of the time with his mother
and part Of the time in Larch-
mont. He was born in Green
wich and was a graduate of the
Greenwich Country Day School.
Davis Was Good Student.
Sheriff Latta said Davis was
reported to be a good student
with an intelligence quotient of
between 100 and 1853.
Describing the fatal party, the
sheriff said between 40 and so
beer cans" were in the room and
quoted other students as saying
the three had been drinking
through the night.
Police Capt. w. D. Blake
quoted young Long as saying
Davis came to the room he and
Mr.. Joyner shared about $3.50
am. He said they drank beer
and listened to recorded music.
There was no argument and little
talk other than about the music,
the Chevy Chase student de-
clared.
He said he left the room briefly
and when he returned Davis was
sitting on a bed holding "a pistol,
which he began firing. Mr.. Long
said he turned and ran, adding
that Davis said nothing while

ment in front of the house today.

ployes. especially in an election
year. finds itself in the middle
of the controversy. The COM
mittee has finished its hear
ings on classified and postal pay
legislation. but is trying to get
the interested parties to agree
in advance to a compromise bill
before meeting in executive Ses-
sion.
The postal employe groups are
strongly opposed to Mr.. Sum-
! merfeld's pay plan on two
counts. First, they say the $100
average raise proposal is much
too small. Secondly. they charge
that the reclassification pro-
posal to give the Postmaster
General unlimited authority to
adjust postal salaries would give
him "dictatorial powers" They
declare that the Postmaster
General could downgrade en-
ployes at will If given such
authority.
Mr.. Summerfield denies such
charges, contending that similar
wage control powers have been
given other agencies. The Post
master General feels that q mod
ern postal classification system
is necessary if the department is
to modernize and streamline its
operations.
That's the problem the House
Civil Service Committee faces as
it tries to approve q bill that will
be acceptable to the postal en-
ploye groups. the Postmaster
General. the Republican leader
ship in Congress and President
Eisenhower.
For example, leaders of the
National Association of Letter
Carriers have declared they
wouldn't accept q $1,000 in
crease bill" if it contained the
salary control powers proposed
for the Postmaster General. On
the other hand, Mr.. Summer
field is insistent that the reclas-
Sification authority remain in
the legislation.
The large mai ajority of the COM
mittee's members feel that the
500 postal pay raise proposal is
too small. Republican members
are trying to persuade Mr.. Sum-
merfield to agree to an increase.
Mr.. Summerf1eld has indicated
that he will agree to another
500 being added to the bill. But
a $500 to $500 pay raise plan for
postal workers suggested by some
committee members has been
opposed by Mr.. Summerfield on
the grounds that it would be too
costly.
However. there is considerable
optimism that a compromise
will be reached. Mr.. Summer
field is extremely anxious to get
his reclassification plan adopted
by Congress. In order to get it,

With Reds in Talks
On World Atom Pool

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, May
15.-United States efforts to
negotiate with the Soviet gov
ernment for a world atom pool
for peaceful purposes have wound
up in a deadlock, Secretary of
State Dulles said here today.
But Mr.. Dulles said, I'VE shall
persist in our efforts to nego-
tiate in relation to Germany
Austria. Korea. Indo- China and
atomic energy. We know that"
Speaking at a celebration of
the 178th anniversary of the
Virginia resolution for American
independence Mr.. Dulles said
$50 far this year we have
negotiated in good faith with
the Soviet rulers in relation to
the use of atomic energy and in
relation to Germany, Austria,
Korea and now Indo- China.
Reds Perpetuate. Despotism.
always, there is a consistent
pattern. Never will they relax
their grip on what they have.
In each Of the geographic areas
I mention. they insist upon a
formula which will not only
assure the perpetuation of their
'despotiSm within the areas they
now control, but also allow them
to apply their ruthless methods
to gain control of the areas
which are still free"
The Secretary of State was
introduced by Winthrop Rookie

Colonial Williamsburg, which
has restored this Colonial capi-
tai to its 18th Century appear

out that Mr.. Dulles was sitting
in the chair occupied by the
speaker Of the Virginia House

when the Virginia resolution
for American independence was
adopted. It was this resolution
that led directly to the Amer
lean Declaration of Independ-

he can be expected to agree to a
more liberal salary boost. Par
ticularly in view of the fact that
Democratic and Republican
members Of the committee are
united in support of a more
liberal pay boost.
Some Republican members say
they feel that. in order to get
his reclassification plan ap-
proved, Mr.. Summerfield will
agree to an average $500 in
crease for postal workers. They
also feel that the reclassiflcation
plan can be revised somewhat
so as to give absolute guarantees
to present postal workers that
their salaries could not be down
graded under the new authority
proposed for the Postmaster
General.
CLASSIFIED EMPLOYES.-
The Governments classified en-
ployes have not been forgotten
in the heat of the postal fight
Action on classified pay legisla-
ton cannot be taken until the
postal situation is settled.
Committee members are agreed
that the classified pay raise
legislation will be approved at
the same time as the commit

There is considerable senti-
ment in the committee to liber-
alize the administrations 3la

poSal for classified employees by
adding another 500 to the first
