THE OLD MILL

The FIRST water-powered
mill-the type which recalls
the old mill stream. its pond,
dam and millrace--is believed
to have been one built In 1884
near Dorchester, Mass.
Soon after that, water
power began TO dominate the
milling industry. As the Ma
ton expanded westward, the
mill, o necessary adjunct to
the growing Of wheat and
corn, went along.
Early mills were set UP to
serve small areas. The farmer
brought his grain to be ground
by contract, or under a barter
agreement with the miller.
While 1t was being ground. he
discussed farming and politics
with hts neighbors, there on
similar business.

veloped. BY 1870 the Patapsco

lamented In song and story,
Is q thing OF the past.
The few mills still operating
use q principle dating from
prehistoric times - turning
grain into fiour by grinding
1t between two stones. First
1t was the saddle stone, q
followed rock In which the
grain was ground by WELD
ing q pestle- like stone. Later,
bigger stones were turned by

and finally water.
II was 85 years ago that
steel rollers for crushing the
grain began to replace stones
and the grinding process. and
electric power began to sup
plant direct water power.
The history Of the Old Mill
In America goes back almost
TO the time Of the Mayfower
and Plymouth Rock. The first
grist mill, powered by horses,
was built In 1926 on Manhat-

Scrap Metal Export
Quote Is Unlikely
BY the Associated Press

A Commerce Department Off
cial said yesterday there has
been "some concern" in Govern
ment circles over the recent high
rate of iron and steel scrap ship
ments to Europe.
But he said United States pol
icy for the time being will be to
keep its policing-type check on
exports rather than impose a
fiat ceiling on how much scrap
can be shipped out.
The Commerce Department
official disclosed that there was
"some discussion" among the
Presidents foreign economic ad-
visers two or three weeks ago "of
the possibility Of Tightening up"
the scrap export restrictions.
There was some talk Of putting
on a quota, he said.
But. he reported, all agreed to
continue for the second quarter
Of this year the type Of restric-
tions that had been In effect for
the FIRST three months. This an
nouncement was issued by the
department last Monday.

Domestically. Mr.. Eden is ex-

Britain its own special political

But he opposes any more ma

LONDON, April 9.-There may

fact that a man who has di-
vorced a wife can attain the
highest political Office in the land

try is changing.
True. Sir Anthony Eden's d.

trice Beckett, daughter Of banker
publisher Sir Gervase Beckett,
decided after more than 20 years
as Mrs. Eden that she wasn't
. suited temperamentally to be, the
wife of a man wholly absorbed
= by craftsmanship. She went to
New York in 1916 and stayed
there.
Divorced in 1850
Mr.. Eden divorced her on
grounds of desertion in 1850.
Not so long ago the circum-
stances would have been a scan
dial to shake government. As
8 1t was, there was lust a ripple
Of interest.
In August. 1852, Mr.. Eden
compounded what would have
been a grave misdeed in the
10th century by marrying Cla-
rissa Churchill. then 80 and a
niece of Sir Winston.
1t was a civil marriage in a
registry hall. The Church of
England, strongly opposed to
the remarriage of divorced per-
sons. would not have permitted
a religious ceremony.
But sanction Of sorts was
given by the attendance of Sir
Winston. who beamed broadly as
marriage linked his political heir
to his own family.
Churchmen Were Critical.
The wedding brought some
sharp comment from conserva-
tive ecclesiastical quarters. But
1t died down and the divorce
raised no serious obstacle to Mr..
Eden's ultimate promotion.
Now Mr.. Eden, as Prime Min
lister. will recommend to Queen
Elizabeth who shall be bishops
Of that same established Church
OF England which could not ap-
prove his second marriage.
There may be further roper
cussions. There is feeling in
some quarters that the church
should change its policy toward
remarriage of innocent parties
to divorces.
But his divorce and subsequent
marriage did underline for Mr..
Eden-previously almost exclu-
sively a foreign affairs mantle
fact that Prime Minister must
pay diligent attention to the
home front.
Controversy Is Sure
There has been a fairly sue

NLRB Makeup
Hints Neutral
Taft Act Views
By tn. Associated Press

The National Labor Relations
Board appeared headed today
down the middle Of the road in
its administration Of the Taft
Hartley labor law.
This emerged as the signifi-
canoe Of q change President
Eisenhower made yesterday in
the boards leadership and in
his selection Of q nth member
of the panel.
He picked Boyd Leedom, -.
an NLRB member since last
April, to be the new chairman.
Mr.. Leedom is q former justice
of the South Dakota Supreme
Court.
Mr.. Eisenhower reached into
the ranks Of NLRB examiners
to pick Stephen s. Bean. SO. to
fill q vacancy left when the
term of Guy Farmer expired
several months ago. Both Mr..
Leedom and Mr.. Bean are Re-
publicans.
Selection Is Surprise
Mr.. Leedom's selection as
chairman came as a surprise
because Mr.. Eisenhower passed
over Philip Ray Rodgers, senior
Republican on the board and
acting chairman since Mr.. FAR
mer's departure.
Mr.. Rodgers. an NLRB menu
ber for more than two years,
formerly was an aide to the late
Senator Robert A. Taft. Re-
publican of Ohio, and was serv-
ing as clerk Of the Senate Labor
Committee when the Taft-Hart-
ley Act was passed.
At different periods In Its his
tory, the NLRB has been assailed
either as pro-labor or pro-man
agement.
Secretary Of Labor Mitchell re-
portedly played a major role in
the NLRB changes and was said
to be anxious the boards
makeup be as neutral as possible.
Compromise Indicated
Mr.. Beans selection was re.
ported to be a compromise. Mr..
Mitchell had supported Stuart
Rothman, the Labor Department
solicitor. for the post. But
representatives Of some business
groups have backed Thomas Nc.
Cabe, clerk of the House Labor
Committee, or Mike Bernstein,
Senate Labor Committee mi
nority clerk.
In addition to Republicans
Leedom, Bean and Rogers the
board includes Abe Murdock, o
former Democratic Senator from
Utah. and Ivar H. Peterson,
