One thing turkeys don't do
is go "gobble, gobble. gobble. 7"
They sound, rather, like mezzo
sopranos gargling.
Out at the BeltSville CMd.)
Agricultural Research Center,
where you can find just about
as many turkeys as you'd ever
want to, there isn't a prima
donna among them. They all
gargle together.
Stanley Marsden, who wears
a red and black plaid hunting
cap and the title of poultry
husbandman. stood in front of
a cage Of fluffy white gobblers
and did a very poor gargle but
still the gobblers gargled back.
isn't that something? I
don't know how they know how
| to do it all at once!" said Mr..
Marsden. who after IS years of
working with turkeys still mar
vels at such things.
Nervous Days
On the eve Of Thanksgiving
it is generally known that tur-
keys are VIGOROUSLY nervous
more than ever at this time.
However, the celebrated
"Beltsville Whites" snug in
their research center without
the threat of the guillotine, are
calmer than their marketable
brothers.
They may have been gargling
such un-American thoughts as
IT hate Thanksgiving" but
they let their pictures be taken
and they held their breath or
something until their faces
turned blue and pulled until
they looked like huge balls of
cotton.
This aristocracy. the small
white turkey, is the product
of 20 years research, Mr.
Marsden said. 1--WE developed
a smaller bird because there i,
quite a large market for a small
turkey"
The Beltsville birds looked
pretty big, but he said they
range from S to IL pounds
ready to cook and they're
about 60 per cent the size OF
larger birds"
"They were started in the
early '40s but then the wal
knocked them out. There was
no interest in the war years
for smaller birds. Everyone
wanted more Of everything.
"After the war. interest wa.
revived. The high year wa!
1854. when one out of every
four turkeys on the marke
was a Beltsville turkey"

DERED what you do about
women who say they have
lost their parking ticket. We
have heard that you ask them
to fill out a form. We have
heard that once they see the
form, which asks them to
state their license number
and Social Security number,
as we'll as the make and year
of their car, that they usually
look again in their pocket
books and find the parking
ticket. Is there anything to
this, at all?
A. Yes.
Q. Do people become accus-
toned to one parking lot? Do
people become discouraged
when that one parking lot is
filled? Do they assume that
all the parking lots in town
are filled when that one lot
is filled? Shouldn't they drive
around and look for another
lot?
A. Yes.
@. Did a lady once claim
that one of your attendants
had stolen the radio out of
her car and on returning
home find that her son had
removed it the night before?
A. Yes.
@. Are there people, those
trying to escape certain other
people, who will drive a new
car into your lot and then
abandon it?
A. Yes.
@. Is the operation of park
Ing lots becoming something
of an industry?
A. Yes.
Q. Have you anything
further to say?
A. No.

'GARGLE,' NOT 'GOBBLE'
BeItsviIIe Birds Calm
On Eve Of Big Feast

| Anyone with even a rudi-
mentary knowledge of survival
of the f1ttest can see that if you
cross a bigger. better bird with
another bigger, better bird you
might get even a bigger, better
bird. But what about trying
to get a better but smaller
bird?
I'VE do avoid the little runty
birds" said Mr.. Marsden. AT
first we didn't have much back
ground to go on but now we
know a birds ancestors for
many generations. 1t isn't long
before we have a very nice
pedigree" he said proudly.
when we breed we look for
early maturity. high egg pro-
ductivity, high hatchability,
high fertility"
Produced in Quantity
The Beltsville White is also
the first white turkey produced
in quantity.
Someone had to break the
+ ice with a white bird. When
we started. just a handful of
turkeys had white feathers.
you see, prior to 1910 a
bird was dry-picked, not scald-
picked. Can't dry-pick feathers
of a white bird. Don't know
why. Just isn't very satisfac-
tory. For one thing it has more
feathers. Well. when they de-
veloped a good scald-pick
method, the feathers, regard
less of color, come of the
same.
"The advantage of the white
bird is in the pin feathers
Know what a pin feather Isl
An immature feather, that's al
it is. These little feathers ART
lin the skin and can't be pulled
out. When they're black yol
can see them, but in the whit
you can't.
Other breeding competitor
found this out and it WASH
long before LARGE white bird
were flooding the market. Ant
besides the small and largl
turkeys, there are many pro
ducers who insist on marketing
the big plain old turkey TO
such days as tomorrow.
Mr.. Marsden said sadly
There's an oversupply of tur
keys and the prices are to-
low. Upsets the whole appl
cart. Everyone's just breedin,
too many turkeys"
He said it too loud and tn
turkeys booed in one lou
gargle.

are expected to be made public
at that time.
The Judge also said he must
be guided by the advice of
those who are directly con-
cerned with the problems of
transition" from the Eisenhow-
er to the Kennedy administra-
ton insofar as actually calling
such a conference.
Lands Misses Session
1t is known that James M.
Lands, a New York attorney
and former Harvard Law
School dean named by Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy to prepare
a study on the regulatory agen-
cies, is in sympathy with the
goals the proposed Administra-
tive Conference would seek to
attain. Mr.. Lands had hoped
to attend yesterdays session OF
the Prettyman group but was
ill with a virus.
Proponents of the proposed
conference hope that within S
to 10 years it will become the
Authoritative voice for Federal
agencies. The conference
would operate in a fashion sim
liar to the Judicial Conference
of the United States. as a
force from within" to improve
agency operations - largely
through changes in procedure
Proposals have been offered
for the conference to be made
up of representatives from the
independent agencies. fro m
Congress, from the Presidents
cabinet departments, from out
standing lawyers in private
practice and from university
scolars who are experts in gov :
eminent administration.
Not for Investigation
The conference would act or
the basis of known defects ir
agency procedure, not as ar
inveStigative body but as q
group set up to provide Con.
gress, the President and the
agencies themselves with spe-
cific recommendations leading
to removal of red tape and I'M
wieldy methods.
Judge Prettyman yesterday
said the organizing committee
which he heads has recon-
mended that the conference be
made up of about IS delegates
1t has been predicted tina
such a conference could become
very powerful in guiding Con.
gresS in efforts to determine
the place of administrative
procedure-quasi- judicial anc
quaSi-legislative in oul
scheme of government.
Mr.. Lands has expressed hi
feeling that the place of the
regulatory agencies lis mex
tricably woven into our way Of
, life"
1T promises to grew rather
than to diminish" the Presi'
dent elects adviser has said.

Q. HAS 1T NOT BEEN that
in recent years parking lot
attendants have started to
ask motorists how long they
will be?
A. Yes.
Q. We have heard that
some people always say they
will be away one hour. They
have figured that they will be
the first to get their car after
returning after six hours
4fIow many times can they get
away with this? .
A. Once,
? @. People seem to get upset
when the tires on their car
squeal when the attendant
brings it back. Do low-pres-
sure tires cause this? Could it
not be that an enclosed park
ing lot magnifies the sound?
A. Yes.
@. Approximately, how fast
can a car be driven without
injury in your garage. It's
only eight miles an hour, is
it not?
A. Yes.
@. Then there's nothing to
get excited about?
A. No.
@. Some people, parking lot
people, have discovered that
people seem to mind the wait
for their car much less if
their car is parked in an
open-air lot. Could this be
because they can see the at
tendant actually going for
their car, whereas in the ga
rage, or enclosed parking lot,
it is all rather mysterious?
A. Yes.

Vote Ratification

By GRACE BASSETT
star STAT Writer

Timothy ]. May, a Washing
ton attorney, has been named
co-ordinator of national efforts
to secure State ratification Of
a constitutional amendment to
grant suffrage in Washington.
Mr.. Mays job will be to re-
port to a Joint Citizens Com
mittee for National Representa-
ton on activities of business.
labor, professional, social and
civic groups pledged to press
for ratification in 1861.
The joint committee is COM
posed of local spokesman for
such national organizations.
These Washington representa-
tives plan to locate individuals
in each State willing to work
actively through their organic
cations in State legislatures,
Their goal is approved by 38,
or three-quarters of the States.
of the amendment, cleared by
Congress last session. to free
Washingtonians to vote for the
first time IN history for Presi-
dent and Vice President.
Plan Outlined
F. Elwood Davis, chairman
of the Joint committee, sketched
this plan to the Metropolitan
Washington Board of Trade
Governmental Research and
Tax Council at a luncheon yes
terday in the Statler Hilton
Hotel.
He stressed that Al legisla-
lures are scheduled to meet in
1861. So next year should see
a major effort for ratification,
although the amendment could
become law if 38 States adopted
it within seven years.
If we're successful. this will
be ratified in 1861. And if our
efforts are co-ordinated, I'm
satisfied we can get it ratified
in 1861" Mr.. Davis said.
The only danger Mr.. Davis
saw was that the amendment
might not come to a vote at
the State level. He urged Wash
ingtonians to fight apathy in
the States over the voteless
plight Of District residents.
II do not believe any State
Legislature will vote down the
amendment" he asserted.
Bipartisan Effort
Mark Sullivan, jr., acting
president of the Board of Com
missioners. cautioned board of
trade members that there must
be a joint effort of political
parties and citizens groups.
Without the help and power of
Democratic and Republican
leaders, citizens alone cannot
win legislative consideration in
the State houses of the Ma
ton, he warned.
Presented at the luncheon
was a brochure prepared by the
Davis committee for submis-
sion to State leaders. It urges
all Americans to support the
amendment. Some 10000 copies
are to be printed.
Mr.. May, associated with the
Covington- Burling law firm,
will work closely with Mr.. Da-
Wis, whose Offices in Room sos
of the Transportation Building
are temporary headquarters OF
the committee.
Mr.. Davis hopes to establish
permanent Offices for commit
, tee work by December l in
Washington.

Easter Par ades Are old Custom

The first Easter Parades weren't the fashion shows Irving Berlin wrote about, but the celebration of a new life"
 The custom of wearing new clothes on Easter Sunday dates from the early days of Christian ity, when newly baptized Chris tians were clothed in garments of white linen. .''' T Researchers with World Book Encyclopedia report that baptism has always been closely associated with Easter. Just as the Resurrec tion represents the new life of Christ, so baptism represents the initiation of the believer into s new life.
 In the early Church, Lent waE the annual season of preparation for baptism, and the sacrament was celebrated on Holy Saturday during the Easter Vigil. 7 Eventually all Christians began to dress up for a joyful parade through town much to the joy of today's clothing manufac- turers.
 In fact, it might have been an early advertising executive who coined the English rhyme, "At Easter let your clothes be new, or else be sure you will it rue,"

 We have a strong feeling that most Of the members of the last session of the Legislature dislike employers Even tho m employers in Alaska es..workers' too&0ne example is fthe Employ. rnent Security Commission Dill that is retroactive to January l, 1880. Not only must the employer contribute additional taxes, but must spend additional hours fig ring out retroactive payments if he does his own bookkeeping as most do. If he hires bookkeeper, then he is paying for the extra work involved. We wonder just why the new rates couldn't have started with the new quarter be- ginning April 1 Then, ac- cording to information we have had from accountants, the employ. CT is also responsible for the pay. ments due for employees who have terminated since January l, even tho they have not applied for compensation or cannot be located. The AESC managed to get out the tax forms, of course, but neglected to clarify any ques- tions.
 A bit of consideration shown toward the business people might pay good dividends They, too, vote!
