Show UINTAH BASIN RECORD, DUCHESNE, UTAH Scientists for Unhampered Freedom in Research Work Newt Analyst and Commentator. research founda- tion. Scientists dont have many votes, so the persuasion couldnt have come by way of a lobby. The public Imagination had been stirred. Suddenly the layman realized that science was a powerful factor in war. He realized too that perhaps men who could smash the atom and make it smash the enemy, might learn how to use the powers of the sleeping giant atomic energy for the good as well as the ill of mankind. At this writing congress has not completed action of the bill but probably will have done so by the time these lines are read. The idea of a national research program seemed very good to me. Therefore, 1 was somewhat surprised to hear a pharmacological authority of my acquaintance say that passage of this legislation "would be as destructive in the field of science" as the bomb was in the midst of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He made the observation in a group, several of whom were scientists. His hearers appeared to echo his sentiments sentiments which I later learned he had set forth in the recent Bulletin of the American Association of University Professors. He (Dr. Theodore Koppanyi) said: "In an analysis of the bill, a basic wrong immediately leaps to the eye. This is the assumption that scientific research can be initiated or prescribed for. If this assumption could be grounded, the natural sequel to a national research foundation would be federal foundations to initiate and 'prescribe for the composition of music, the painting of pictures, the writing of poems, and the establishment of social controls and education, for science is probably the most personal and individualistic of all human endeavors. No agency, however authorized and directed, can develop a national policy for scientific research. Difficult to Pass On Projects The theories and ways of think-- , lng of scientists, Dr. Koppanyi explained (and his colleagues agreed), are as diverse as the world Itself. "How can we set up a court with the power to pass on what is good and W'hat is not good for science? he asked, and then he turned to me with this question: "Would you approve of having a member of your profession a commentator or news-writappointed by a President of the United States, as head of a similarly selected group of your colleagues who were made privy to private government Information, which was barred from other speakers or writers? No. Naturally I said: (That would be the end of the freedom of the press and radio.) Then Dr. Koppanyi concluded: "You can spend a lot of money and get no return. But if you trust in human ingenuity, motivated by desire of public service, the love of science, recognition, and maybe selfish aims alike, you will have done more for basic science than you could ever do with billions of dollars of federal money. er Social Science Study Lags Spokesmen for the social sciences (the Btudy of people, of individuals and groups) were loud in criticizing the omission from the bill of provisions for research in this d field. An engineer spoke for the social scientists in these words: "Weve gone miles ahead in our study of things, in physics, chem-lstr- y and the other sciences that deal with inorganic matter, compared to our advancement in the study of human beings why they act the way they do under given conditions, their relations to other individuals and to groups, and the action of the groups In relation to each o tlier. He spoke of the recent pogrom in BARBS Alabama Brothers Show Success in Kielce, Poland, where the Jews were attacked and killed. It all started from a false rumor, a planted rumor. The very same thing, the engineer pointed out, touched off the riots three years ago in Detroit. Those are known facts but there is very little public knowledge of what causes such action, how it can be prevented. Possession Is Law to Russ Russian expropriation of Austrian property and her delaying tactics in setting of the peace conference date seem to be predicated on the theory: Why start any discussions of who gets what if you can operate on the old theory that possession is nine points of the law? Possession is an Important factor. Take the recent experience of a Philadelphia horse. Around midnight one night a horse walked into a residential district and began devouring gardens of dahlias, morning-glories, snapdragons and other flowers. The infuriated householders tried to shoo the horse away, but he kicked at them and went right on expropriating the bourgeois blooms. However, la the good old American tradition, a policeman appeared with a rope and lassoed the beast. He was removed to the police stables where he couldnt exercise a veto on this purely procedural process. This subversive tendency In the animal world W'as revealed in another part of Philadelphia at about the same time.

The reason author Michael Strange (pen John Barryname of an more) isnt listed in the Social Register as Barrymore is this: Stage names are not listed. Barrymores real name is Blythe. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bowden are 69 and 63 years old, respectively, and, because of their age, were not able to make the most out of the farm they were operating when their sons were In service. Upon their return from the armed forces, Lynn and Oren Bowden shouldered the job of making a living for the family and increasing dividends from the farm. Their first objective was to buy the farm, thus raising themselves and their "old folks out of the tenant farmer class. Since many elderly farmers and their wives also are looking to their sens to take over the home farm, the story of the Bowdens Is related to show what can be accomplished. Actually the story has its beginning in 1936 when, as the elder Bow-de- n frankly admits, "we were down and out and had to struggle to make ends meet. Unable to get credit from regular lenders for purchase of feed, seed, fertilizer, equipment and other farm needs, the Bowdens resorted to a government agency, now the Farm Security administration, to secure the necessary funds. Along with the funds came instruction in sound enwhich farming practices, abled the Bowden family to improve the efficiency of their opera- ex-Mr- s.

SEEK EXPERT GUIDANCE The Bowden brothers and their parents have proved that they are good farmers, but they frankly admit they dont know it all. Here James S. Pridgen. Coffee county, Ala., FSA supervisor, shows Lynn and Oren Bowden bow to treat seed peanuts to prevent damp rot after they are In the ground. spite was gained when Oren was placed on Inactive duty to help run the farm, but he later was called back Into service. Upon their discharge early In 1943, both brothers returned to the family farm. Intent on purchasing e the farm, previously rented by the family, the brothers arranged the necessary financing with Farm Security administration, which permits 40 years at 3 per cent Interest for repayment of farm purchase loans. A major factor in the familys success was the diversified farming plan which the agency helped the family to map out. Faced with a $4,800 debt, contracted In purchasing the farm, the Bowdens embarked on an ambitious farm program designed to wipe out the debt in shortest possible time. Within a year they had paid off more than half the debt. Today, only three years later, the final payment has been made to the govern- 360-acr- tions. A period of progress-followedbut the advent of war disrupted all the familys plans. Both Lynn and Oren , were called into service, resulting In an acute lack of help on the farm. Lynn, 44, veteran of both world wars, entered the army In 1940 when the Alabama National Guard called Into service. Oren, 31, also was a member of the National Guard and entered service early the following year. A temporary re- - work last-minu- ment agency and the Bowdens are full owners of their land. With 160 acres of the farm under cultivation, the Bowdens produce peanuts as the main cash crop. Carrying out their plan of diversified farming, they also have cotton, hogs and 12 head of beef cattle, principally of the Black Angus type. To develop their herd, they recently purchased a purebred Angus bull. In 1944, the Bowdens marketed 20 tons of peanuts, $600 worth of hogs, and $60 worth of cattle. They had 15 other hogs left over for marketing by the end of that year as well as 12 stock hogs and 2 milk cows. Sale of chickens and eggs also added to farm returns. Marketings the following year Included 20 tons of peanuts, 4 bales of cotton and about $588 worth of hogs. After these sales, they had 24 Duroc shoats, 4 brood sows and 30 pigs on hand as well as their beef cattle. The old folks are helping the veterans progress in their farming venture. The elder Bowden raises garden produqe, selling $112 worth of cabbage from a few rows In his garden last year. Intent on increasing the returns, he has planted six rows of cabbage this year. Mrs. Bowden also is active in work around the house and garden. Size of the family also has been Increased. After the last farm payment was made, Oren was married and brought his wife to the family farm home. Today the Bowdens are considered successful Alabama farmers. Each member of the family does his proper share of work and all reap the benefits of good living on a farm. Furthermore, the elder Mr. and Mrs. Bowden can take more time to enjoy the peace and security of farm life now that their boys, like so many others, are home again from the war.

A FSA supervisor, schooled In efficient farm methods, helps each family make and carry out the plan. He will supply information on how to select and care for livestock, plan crop rotations and put other good farm methods Into practice. In most rural counties a home supervisor, trained in home economics, also is available to assist the family. Main objects of the guidance plan, according to FSA, are to help the farmer "get the most income from his work, obtain a good living for his family and repay his loan. y N I leaves cooked tender and served with fc' taste like brussels sprouts.
