AceUed0P Protests
City's Demands
For Changes

Armando Acevedo, holder
of the Wickers Field re-
freshment concession since
1861, today cancelled his
contract in protest of a let
ter he received from the city
asking that he make tele-
phone facilities and rest
rooms available for specta-
tors attending events in the
stadium.
Acevedo also was instructed to
adhere to the provisions of his
agreement to place refreshments
on sale for those attending all
events in the stadium in sufficient
quantity.
Complaints Reported
Inc action was recommended by
the stadium advisory board in the
wake of complaints that Acevedo
had not been selling refreshments
at some stadium affairs. The
board also recommended that the
city make the telephone and rest
rooms available,
And City Manager Victor Lang
said today that he asked Acevedo,
In letter delivered personally by
city recreation director Paul Al
bury, to assume the responsibility
for opening the ticket booth where
the phone is installed and to open
the rest rooms.
"Since he has a key, 1t would
be a simple thing for him to open
the DOORS" said Lang.
Responsibility DseIinsd
But Aceyedo replied that he
could not accept the added respon-
siblity and returned his contract.
The move leaves the stadium
without concession facilities. A city
hall spokesman said today that, in

Stevens Is Told
To Submit Data
On Peress Case
Delay Seen In
Shortening Of
Public Hearings

WASHINGTON (AP)-
Senate investigators today
ordered Secretary of the
Army Stevens to submit the
names of Army officials re-
sponsible for giving Maj.
Irving Peress-described by
Sen. Mccarthy as a Fifth
Amendment Communist" -
an honorable discharge.
The. action came on a ruling by
Mundt (R-SD) of the
looking into the Nc
tS4y-Army dispute after the
9AiiA postponed until later in the
d. Showdown on the question of
81 d short public hearings.
S Chased Session
bndt ordered a closed session
112:30 pm, EST to discuss a
proposal by Sen. Dirksen (R-IlD
that public testimony be limited to
Stevens and Mccarthy and that
any other testimony BE taken in
closed session.
Throughout much of the fore
noon hearing, the Mccarthy camp
sought to develop its contention
that the Army "coddled' c6mhnu-
nists and stirred up the present
hearings to head off the senator's
digging into that situation.
It was in this connection that
Stevens was directed to submit the
names of those responsible for CIV
ing PereSs an honorable discharge.
At one point, Sen. Mccarthy said

-1oPeE1x damage S3sSTu S5Z, IL
Key Vests accident rate
has taken a sharp jump with
seven weekend accidents re-
ported to police.
ALI of the accidents were
caused by law violations. A to-
tai of S2,215 in damage was
the result of the rash of mis-.
haps.
Remember, motorists, the
city'S auto insurance rates are
dependent on the number Of ac-
cidents and the amount of pro-
perry damage. Hence, if Key
Vests accident rate is increas-
ed this year, increased insur-
ance rates may well follow.
During April, city officials
were very much pleased with
the so per cent reduction In
accidents. But, thus far in May,
the toll is going up and they
ARE unhappy.

be located on the side of the lot opposite
the feed hunks. These should be con-
structed in such way that hay can be
piled along them with power ma
chinery.
Feeding space per head should be
two to three feet, depending upon the
size of the animal.
Concrete strips may be constructed
the full length of the managers and
hunks, and in front of the water supply.
The concrete strip should be five feet or
more wide. It's surface should be II
inches above ground level since the
bedding and manure pack may be one
and half to two feet deep. The con-
crete slab should slope one-fourth inch
per foot away from the manager.
Water
Water must be available in each feed
lot at all times. In cold weather it
should be heated to remove the chill.
The float-valve type of electrically
heated water troughs have pretty well
become standard equipment in feed lots
where water is supplied by a pressure
system.
Installing floating, electric heating
unit in a large stock tank is a salts
factory alternative.

Cattle Feed Lots
Should Be Handy for Operator
And Comfortable for Animals
By E. B. WILSON,
Extension Agricultural Engineer

Each feed lot should provide roughly
from 100 to 200 square feet per head.
Under most conditions it is not desir-
able to have more than so to IS animals
per pen An over-large feed lot is to be
avoided because there is tendency
for the cattle to run and play and thus
reduce gains.
Feed Bunks and Racks
Feed hunks and managers along the
sides of the lot that can be filled with
power equipment are preferred to those
on the inside of the lot that can only
be filled by entering the lot through one
or more gates.
Concentrates must generally be de-
livered to the feed lot daily. Mechanical
unloading trucks or wagons with side
delivery spout are most advantageous
for this job, and of course, long feed
hunks on the side of the lot are neces-
sity for them.
The hay hangers can conveniently

event.

FEED LOTS AND EQUIPMENT
need not be elaborate but they should
provide a comfortable place for the
cattle, where the feeding and care will
require minimum of labor.
Site
A level site should be selected to keep
the loss of liquid fertilizer to mini
mum. However, a saving in bedding
can be made at the expense of the
fertilizer if a slightly rolling or well
drained lot is provided.
Shelter
Feed lot sheds are not necessary
east of the mountains, as general
rule. Damp and foggy weather west of
the Divide presents different problem
and sheds are of real value to provide
a dry bedding area.
Sheds open on the south or leeward
side are desired over enclosed sheds.
Tight board fences seven feet or more
high will furnish the necessary protec-
ton against wind.
Size

The ice water must be heated by the
animal using high priced feed as fuel.
Other Equipment.
Scales should be available for weigh
ing cattle and feed at intervals during
the feeding period. A strong rack is
needed to hold cattle on the scales but
must be removed before the feed truck
can be weighed. A way of making the
rack movable is to mount it on wheels
so it can be pushed on and off the
scales. If small mine car wheels and
track are valuable the rack may be
moved by one man. Otherwise, a push
with the truck or tractor may be neces-
sary.

process of an extensive journey, which is
CARRYING him to several major Communist
countries including Russia and China. On

trip did not mean a weakening Of his policy
Of friendship with the United States.
He rejected reports that the trip midi
Gated British Labor was growing more
friendly toward Communism and less

ed such view complete mistake.
Mr. Attlce stayed only two days in Mos

the purpose Of his visit to China was TO
make contacts meet with members of the

Mrs. Cocks suggestions is worthy Of
