Implements Are Equipped
With Safety Devices, But
b. JAMES n. WICKER

Anv effective cornpicker must have
dangerous exposed working parts. Al
most any tool that will till is dangerous
to fall into or in front of when in
motion
Therefore. 10 reduce farm accidents
and advance farm safety, we must de
pend on tireIessly and patiently edu-
eating farm operators to get more
alert self-lrtarest constant care and
caution. 1t is our suggestion that every
professional safety worker join and
work with tractor manufacturers, dis
tributors and dealers to arouse and
sustain a passion for safety on the part
of users of farm equipment.
Factories in the Field
In general. we suggest that farm OPP
orators and suppliers of machine equip
ment for agriculture must come to re-
gard agriculture as an industry. Farms
are factories in the field.
Every farm operator must learn to
take the same precautions. achieve the
same safety consciousness and employ
the same safety techniques that have
proved practical and successful for 9th
er factories end with other industrial
operators in other industries Farmers
and farm workers are too rare and
spare to waste and MAIN. Farm mach
merry is good enough and costly enough
to deserve careful operation after orig
ina1 safe design.
This industry's safety record and
safety consciousness have immensely
improved in the past decade. We should
all plan to improve on this excellent
start. But We shall have to work at
it more persistentIy than ever.

MACHINERY SAFETY

PRINCIPAL FARM MACHINERY
manufacturers are continually con-
cerned with Incorporating safety in the
design of farm equipment.
They have contributed consistently
and substantially to the Farm Safety
Division of TIE National Safety Council
They have produced and made avail
able farm safety films. Each year. dur
ing National Farm Safety Week farm
equipment manufacturers carry nation
al advertisine tied in with national,
state and local safety programs and
movements
Rules for safe tractor operation have
been formulated and distributed and
are available n any quantity requested.
Operators manuals include instructions
in safety procedure and warnings. Dec
ais and safety warnings are stamped
onto tractors and power machines.
Equipment manufacturers h ave
sought to design safety features into
tractors and other equipment Power
take-off shafts are now universally
guarded with bolted or permanently
welded shields. Tractors and nipple
ments have been streamlined. Shields,
guards and fender rails cover more
and more moving belts, gears. sprock-
cts and chains
Potentially Hazardous
In spite of keen safety consciousness
of farm equipment manufacturers. farm
equipment is. of necessity. potentially
hazardous. A reckless operator or
sloping side bill can trip any tractor.
If it can cut grass. a mower can also
cut fingers. If it can press hay,
baIer can also MAIN arms or legs.

Combined Hawaii Alaska Bill Faces Presidential Veto
By WILLIAM F. ABROGAST

WASHINGTON, LR - Daring a possible presidential veto, House Democrats are considering send ing President Eisenhower a bill to admit both Hawaii and Alaska to statehood.
 The bill may hit the House floor later this month. It is the subject of current hearings before the House Interior and Insular Affairs committee.
 Originally, separate statehood bills were planned for the two territories, but some influential Democrats suspect that the PreSi- dent would sign the Hawaii mea- sure and veto the Alaska bill
 By including the two areas in one measure, Congress would put the President on somewhat of a spot, since he has urged state hood for Hawaii only.
 Tn his state-o of-the-union mes sage last month, the President said there was mo justification for further delay in bringing Hawaii into the union, while Al aska should expect to achieve statehood" when its complex problems" are solved.
 That, in the opinion of many Democrats, was a thinly yelled hint by the President that he would not approve an Alaska bill. Moreover, the Democrats have been tipped by top Republicans to expect a veto.

Propose Shuffle Alaska Holidays to Fall On Mondays

JUNEAU, R = Sen. R a l D h Rivers, a former mayor of Fair banks and a former territorial attorney general, proposed today to reshuffle Alaska's holiday dates so more of them will fall on Monday.
 The purpose, he explained in a bill introduced in the Terri torial Senate, is to make more holiday weekends and reduce ab- senteeism from office and school that results from mid-week holi- days.
 The bill cites Labor Day as a model. However, it would leave Christmas Day and some others unchanged.
 His proposal is to shift other holidays as follows:
 Lincoln's birthday on the sec ond Monday of February instead of on the Civil War Presidents actual birthday; Washington's birthday on the third Monday in February instead of on the first Presidents Feb. 2 birthday ami versary; Stewards Day on the last Monday in March instead of on the 3Oth; Alaska Day on the third Monday in October instead of the 18th; and Veterans Cor Armistice) Day on the second Monday in November instead of Nov II.
 Memorial Day and Thanksgiv- ing would remain on the dates set by Presidential proclamation and New Years and the Fourth of July would remain just where you might expect-on the first day of the new year and on July 4th.

CENTRAL STATES GET
 RAIN, SHEET, SNOW. WIND

Stormy weather, with ram, sleet snow and strong winds, swept over wide areas in the cen tral part of the country today as a cold wave in the east moderated a little.
 A storm center which centered in Texas spread precipitation over much of the plains states.
 Farmers in Kansas welcomed the moisture which may give the parched wheat fields an early boost, but the four to five-inch fall at Fort Riley was drifting to depths of four feet.

50 Tons Surplus Food Available To Starving Villages

ANCHORAGE, R - Fifty tons of surplus food have been order ed rushed to communities of hungry natives in Bristol Bay and other western Alaska communities hard-hit by winter storms.
 An air drop of two tons was made from Nome for the 300 per sons at Savoonga, on St. Law renee island, which has no air strip.
 Edward Fortier, deputy director of the Anchorage regional Civil Defense office, announced the shipments of 111,OOO pounds of food. It includes dried milk, cheese, shortening, dry beans and butter.
 It is part of the Disaster Relief Program directed by Territorial Secretary of Labor Waino Hend- rickson. The surpus food is from Dept. of Agriculture stocks and is being distributed through the Federal Civil Defense Admins tration.
 At Juneau, Alaska Native Ser vice director William Olson said the Savoonga natives had not stored provisions ahead for win ter and had to continue their seal hunting for food
 Gambell, so miles from Savoonga and on the west end of St. Law renee Island, has already had emergency rations flown there by the Army, he said.

JUN. Baked By Chou's Boycott Of Cease-Fire Talks
By MAX HARRISON

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R LII U. N. diplomats consulted today on the next step in their quest for peace in the FormoSa Strait. They generally agreed the LIN. can do little in the face of Red China's boycott of the proposed Security Council cease-fire talks.
 Three courses appeared to be open:
 l. Make another effort to per suade Premier Chou En Lai to send a representative here.
 2. Debate the Formosan prob lem without the participation of the Chinese Communists.
 3. Try to arrange conference outside the JUN. - like the Far Eastern barley in Geneva last spring-at which the whole China could be discussed. This appeared the likeliest prospect.
 Tn view of Chou's declaration that he would not send a repre- sentative to the JUN. unless the Security Council ousts Nationalist China and gives Peiping the seat, many delegates saw no chance for compromise here. The Council was expected to stick to its pre- ViOuS firm refusals to replace Chiang Kai-Shek's representative. Chou also was not expected to back down.
 Some US. leaders in Washing ton were more optimistic. Chair man George D-G0 of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Chou's reply may be propa- ganda bluff" Sen. H. Alexander Smith R-ND, the senior Repub- lican on the Foreign Relations Far Eastern subcommittee, said the Red Chinese were ''maneuvering for position" and their answer was not final.
 The reply aroused stronger feelings in other Republicans. Sen. Hickenlooper called it an insult, Sen. Bridges "virtual blackmail,' r and the minority leader, Sen. Knowland said, "This is a place to let the Communist Chinese regime stew in it's own juice"

Freshman Representative FavOrs Separation Of Statehood Legislation

WASHINGTON, RD-Rep. Ruth erford D-TeM today indicated he would favor separation of Alaska and Hawaii statehood legislation.
 A new member of the House Insular Affairs Committee, which is now considering a combined statehood bill, Rutherford said in his weekly newsletter" to con- stituents:
 T personally feel both Alaska and Hawaii should stand on their own merits and not lean on each other"
 He also indicated he has not yet been convinced either terri tory should be admitted to state hood, declaring:
 "The Delegates from Alaska and Hawaii to Congress have told us only of the beautiful scenery in their territories; and while am sure this is true, in my way of thinking scenic beauty is not sufficient qualification within it- self to allow the territories to be- come states"

Soviets Budget Three Billions For Defense

MOSCOW, R-The Soviet gov ernment announced yesterday a 1855 defense budget about 12 per cent higher than last years.
 The budget, presented to the Su- preme Soviet (parliament called for defense expenditures of 112,- 100,000,000 rubles. The increase was about IF billion rubles.
 The ruble is quoted officially at four to the dollar, meaning an in crease in defense expenditures of about three billion dollars.
 Explaining the defense appro- priation, Finance Minister Arseny G. Zverev told meeting of the two houses of the Supreme Soviet in the great Kremlin palace:
 Our main task iii the sphere of international relations is strength ening the cause of peace. But nothing has happened in the in ernational situation which would give us the opportunity to reduce our defensive capacity. That is why we have to spend so much to promote the further strengthening of our military forces"
