Forced Arbitration

In these days OF feather
bedding some cratic claims
are being made by the trucu-
lent labor barons that If
some Of the large railroad
systems reduced the number
of vice presidents, a consider
able number of employees
could be hired to protect
the public in connection with
operation Of the railroads.
Transport statistics in the
United States for 1861 pub
lished by the Interstate Com
merce Commission indicate
that If all executives, officers,
assistants and staff assistants
Of all Of the first class rail-
roads In the United States
were eliminated and the COM
pensation paid them was dis
tributed to all Of the en-
ployes Of the same group Of
railroads, their increase in
compensation would only
amount to $3.50 per week.
Another idiotic accusation
hurled not alone at large
railroad systems but at the
motor car, electronic, petro-
leum, communications and
other industries asks why
the president Of a large cor
poration should receive more
compensation than the Presi-
dent Of the United States.
The affluent labor barons
cavorting in palatial edifices
along the Potomac these
many years certainly should
realize that q top executive
of o large corporation does
not have a flock of helicopters
at his beck and call, also Jets
and yachts as well as limou-
sines with a staff Of chauf-
feurs together with a large
group of servants with an
exorbitant expense account
to wine and dine celebrities
from all over the world, or
send their wives abroad with
a regiment Of secret service
personnel.
It is hoped that Congress
will enact legislation placing
labor unions in the same
category as any other organ
ization vested with a public
interest and subject to the
provisions Of the Clayton Act
and Sherman Anti Trust Act,
also make compulsory arbi-
tration effective to safeguard
the paramount interests Of
the average American citizen.
Why should any comparative
minority group Of union en-
ployes be permitted to par
alyze the American economy?

THE PASSING SCENE
Eisenhower Groups Party Goal

The Eisenhower Republic
cans are stirring Just below
the surface Of the G.. o. p.
to attempt to gain control of
the mind Of the party and,
If at all possible, to pick its
1864 presidential nominee as
well.
If all the details Of their
course are not yet clear, at
least two of their main OBJ
jectives are entirely plain.
One is to head off Senator
Barry Goldwater Of Arizona,
who is generally conceded
now to be the front-runner
for the nomination, notwith-
standing the recent and
violent attacks made upon
him by his rival, Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller of New York.
The other Is to put maxi
mum pressure upon the
elected Republican leaders Of
Congress to listen most earn
estly to the Eisenhower wing
Of the party about policies
and issues.
These broad purposes have
been in the minds Of the
Eisenhower people for some
time. Now, what had been
only generally in their heads
is crystallized into action.
This is the essential meaning
of the newly minted Republic
can Critical Issues Council

DR.. Milton Eisenhower.

Of the Treasury, and James

of Labor. (Another is Lewis
Strauss, former chairman Of

group who could be called
stalwart regular Republicans.
He will find himself in q dis

the new councillors are Of the

American literature as the
voice Of our national consci-
business begins in 1882 with
the first publication Of the
Letters From an American
Farmer. Literature, that is,
regarded as arrangements Of
affective imagery embodied
in the traditional forms Of
fiction. poetry, and drama
and expressing the spirit Of
the place"
That Is the beginning Of Al
bert z. Stone, IRIS, foreword
to q new reprinting Of Gre
vecoeur, q reprinting, by the
way, that is said to bring
the Letters From an Amer
lean Farmer" and Sketches
of Eighteenth Century Amer
lea" together for the first
time.
It is only at the end Of
his Introduction that Prof.
Stone of Emory University re-
marks that "this benchmark
of our cultural heritage is
itself an accomplished work
Of art"
CREvECOEUR'S WORK is
certainly not history nor
even completely reliable de-
scriptive writing though 1t is
equally certainly an impor-
tant raw material for both.
So the question that most
concerns the general reader
Is: Are these two books really
accomplished works Of art7
The answer Is partly
bound up with Crevecoeur's
nearly incredible biography.
He was born In l735 at Caen
and came TO what was then
New France with General
Montcalm in 1855.
After Montcalm's defeat.
he moved south and in 1859
settled on a farm In Orange
County, New York.
Crevecoeur was pro-Tory.
and in 1776 was forced TO
leave his farm. He fled to
New York, only to be Inn
prisoned by the British He
finally succeeded in reach
ing London, and ultimately
returned to France.

The Board OF Directors OF
the D. C. League Of Women
Voters held an emergency
meeting on July % to decide
upon further local action in
support Of expanding civil
rights In the District by every
means appropriate to the or
ganization.
The board voted to mail to
its membership summaries Of
national civil rights hills now
before Congress, and to en-
courage each member to
communicate to Congress her
views as an individual.
The District League was in
tegrated in 1914. Elimination
of racial segregation and
support Of anti-discrimina-
ton policies in the District
has long been our policy.
AS early as 1850, the D. C.
League adopted q program
that called for q system Of
non-segregated public serv-
ices based on the needs Of
the community (health, pub
lie education, housing, well
fare, recreation, employment,
etc..
Specifically, the league has
supported: Fair employment
practices legislation for the
District; the District Com
missioners' Human Relations
Council; an open housing or
dinance or administrative or
der for the District; and equal
opportunity In employment
through community action.
The league is firm In its
policy that positions reached
shall reflect views Of its
members, not views imposed
by its leaders.
President Kennedy puts
voting rights first in his civil
rights program as funda-
mental to our democratic
process Of government. Since
the league itself grew from
the movement that secured
voting rights for women, it
intellectually agrees with
this emphasis. Thus, league
programs throughout the
country have always served
the community by helping to
inform the electorate. The
citizen who neglects to vote
is FORGETTING a fundamental
civil right which other Amer
leans fought hard to secure
for all citizens. The voter
who votes without fully In
forming himself on the issues
and candidates also weakens
our democracy.
November, 1864, will see the
first opportunity for District
residents to cast their ballots
in q national election. The
District League Of Women
Voters is already hard at
work to provide non-partisan
services to the new electorate
of the District. One Of the
leagues fundamental aims is
to arouse citizen concern and
help voters cast an intelligent
ballot. The civil rights crisis
imposes as never before the
duty to reach all segments Of
the population.

SWINE PRODUCERS should
be thinking about protecting
their pigs from the cold
weather.
Coldness, drafts, and damp
ness are profit cutters with all
sizes and ages of pigs. but they
are much more severe on the
smaller pigs. For the first cou-
pie of days after narrowing. a
little pig cannot endure the
winter weather. A chilled pig
at narrowing will tend to be a
poor pig If 1t survives.
Winter weather may reduce
your profit if you feed your
hogs In open lots, but If the
pigs are protected from the
weather, they can be fed more
efficiently.
The most efficient pork is
produced in a temperature of
90 to 20 degrees where there
are no drafts and where it is
relatively dry. The better you
can provide this type of en-
viroment during the winter,
the more efficient your swine
enterprise will be.

Changes
For
1864 Feed
Program

Farmers must take part in
the feed grain program to be
eligible for price support on
1864 crop corn, grain sorghum,
and barley, says Russell c.
Bowdle, chairman, Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
County Committee.
Minimum acreage diversion
under the program will be 20%
of a farms total feed grain
base flor the three grains).
Producer signup will start Feb-
ruary 10, 1864.
The chairman said the pro-
gram will be similar to the
1868 program except for these
slight notifications:
l. The top limit on diver
sion is increased from 40 TO so
percent or 25 acres, whichever
is greater;
2. In computing diversion and
price-support payments, the
average yield figures will be
based on the A year (l959 -62)
average instead of the 2 year
(l959 COY average;
3. The feed grain base of any
producer who planted up to 30
acres of wheat for home use
under the feed grain exemption
during any one of the year,
1859, 1860 and 1861 will be in
creased to the extent the 3
year average of such wheat
acreage exceeded Is acres;
A. While the total price sup
ports for the three grains In
1864 are unchanged from 1868
levels, a slightly larger pro-
portion of the supports will be
available as loans or purchases,
with corresponding decreases
in price support payments;
S. Payments to any pro-
ducer are limited to not more
than 20% of the fair market
value of any acreage involved;
and;
6. The maximum payment
rate will apply to all the acre
age diverted where the total
diversion on the farm is 40T
or more of the base.
Support prices for grains in
cluded in the 1864 feed grair
program were announced July
l8, 1868, as follows: Corn (per
buy, $l.l0 loan, l5-cent price
support payment, $l.25 tota,

ment, 500 total support; bar

GOOD-QUALITY CORN Sill
ACE can replace hay in the
dairy calf ration without SER
ious effects on the calves.
In a recent experiment, re-
searchers divided 80 Holstein
calves into three equal groups.
One group received alfalfa hay,
a second group was fed corn
silage and the final group a COM
bination of hay and silage.
All the roughages were fed
free choice from birth of 20
weeks of age. The calves also
received a limited amount of
milk from birth to six weeks
of age, plus a calf starter fed at
a maximum of three pounds
per calf per day.
Average roughage con-
sumption per animal for the l40-
day trial was 43l pounds for the
hay group and l,244 pounds for
the corn-silage group. The
group receiving both hay and
silage consumed n pounds of
hay and l,255 pounds of silage.
Dairymen who use corn silage
to replace hay in the ration
must make up for the vitamin
D and calcium deficiencies In
the silage. It's best to feed a
vitamin D supplement as we'll
as steamed bone meal along with
silage.
1t Is also important that the
calves eat the silage we'll, since
they will have TO consume about
three times as much silage as
hay to get the same amount of
dry matter.
One way to encourage better
corn silage consumption is to
clean out the feed box and feed
fresh silage each day.

SHELTER, FEEDING and
overall health of beef herd are
of the utmost importance when
it comes to planning a winter
management program.
The herd should be sorted into
age groups which are uniform in
food and shelter requirements.
If the cattle aren't sorted, some
will always be overfed and
others underfed. Groups having
different nutrient requirements
include dry COWS, COWS sucking
calves. yearling or two-year-
old heifers, heifer calves and
bulls.
Yearling and rwo-year-old
heifers must be handled diff
ferently from the rest of the
herd, depending on whether they
are bred TO calve as two-year-
olds or three-year-olds. Year
lings bred to calve as two-year-
olds probably should get a little
grain during the winter. Heifer
calves kept for replacement
should be fed rather literally
If they are going to be bred as
yearlings.
For the rest of the herd, the
winter ration should consist
largely offarm grown roughage.
1t will take approximately TWO
tons of hay to winter a COW, or
about 20 pounds per day. If
silage is available, three to
four pounds will replace one
pound of hay. A protein sup
plement should be fed If the
hay is of poor quality.
Sheltering the herd can be
managed without the use of barn
space. However there should be
some type of shelter, such as
an open shed with drained or
paved lot. These lots should
open into a pasture, so when
the grouns is frozen or dry
enough, the COWS will have their
choice of the open shed or the
pasture.

healthy afterward will be
greatly increased.
Pick the safest place in your
home or on your farm. Add
shielding to make it better. A
shelter needn't be elegant, only
safe. Be ready to take advantage
of the best shelter available ar
all times. Store a TWO weeks
supply of food, water. and other
everyday essentials in your
shelter area.
These measures are do-it-
yourself insurance against the
time your life may be at stake.
