At any rate, until the comb is completely healed, high fertility cannot be ex- pected. A more rapid recovery may be brought about if the frozen parts are amputated. Sharp scissors, razor or sharp snips may be used. The cut should be made in the unfrozen portion. To prevent bleeding, apply an astringent such as tincture of ferric chloride. It is usually necessary to remove the wattles as well as the comb. Frozen combs and wattles can be prevented by dubbing the cockerels in the summer when from 6 to 12 weeks of age, when loss will be neg- Though the coalition strategy calls for an attack on OPA pricing regulations such as requiring sellers to absorb part of increased costs of production and distribution, the group Will seek modification rather than outright abolition of the agency. Support would be given to a one year extension of OPA. Senator Wherry (Rep., Neb.) was to head the coalition in the senate, where support may be slower in developing because of the need for members to canvass their positions more accurately in view of their wider constituencies. Reflecting this more cautious approach, the senate greatly watered the stringent Case bill which restricted labor activities.

By obtaining important concessions from the company, however, UAW officials claimed that the total financial gain would exceed the 19 cents an hour sought. Gains included adjustment of inequalities in wage rates in certain plants, improved vacation pay up to 4 per cent of gross income of employees of five years or more, double time for the seventh consecutive day on the job, and equal compensation for 113-da- long-draw- With a noose staring him in the face, the rumpled former Reich air marshall proudly boasted that he man women. had been Hitlers right-han- d ligible.

It has stood the test and is being successfully applied in animal husbandry. Its use with bees was delayed until recent work by the federal ex- stations periment the way to pointed artificial insemina- tion to improve , honey yield. . The advantages will be possible to improve stock to a high degree. The practice will not immediately be practiced by bee raisers but will be limited to experiment stations and specialists who are now in a position to furnish improved honeybee stock by this method of breeding. The necessity for increased bee population may be aided by this method. It is also important that farmers time their spraying so as not to kill off large numbers of bees, as has been the case in the past. Whatever hopes Pauley nourished for confirmation were rudely shaken with former Interior Secretary Ickes testimony that he had told him that $300,000 could be raised from oil men for the 1944 Democratic campaign if the government would withdraw its suit for title over underwater petroleum deposits in California. In asking the President to withdraw his nomination, which was done, Pauley ' declared that he had been cleared of all charges against him. Commending him for retiring from the fight, Democratic members of the senate naval affairs committee upheld his personal integrity. . le Hermann Goering on stand. make Germany free.

CONSCRIPTION: Prospects Brighten Because of the, precarious inter-- . national situation aggravated by Russian moves in the east, congressional support grew for extension of the selective service act beyond May 15. With war department officials calling for maintenance of military strength in the face of unsettled world conditions, it was revealed that plans called for an army of 1,500,000 officers and men by July, 1946, and 1,000,000 by July, 1947. Pending determination of the, aims, policies and programs of other nations, and the efficiency of the UNO in resolving disputes, no decision can be made about the permanent size of the armed forces, it was said. General Eisenhower declared that one of the principal arguments for the retention of selective service was that it acts as a spur for voluntary enlistments. With volunteers permitted to specify what branch of service they prefer, many young men act to pick their spots before being drafted and made subject to In five compulsory placement. months, 600,017 volunteers enlisted, with 67.07 per cent being World War II vets, 18.7 per cent recruits rl and 14.23 per cent Harbor enrollees. With the settlement of the G. M. strike, the auto industry hoped to clear the decks for all-oproduction to meet the tremendous pent-u- p demand for new cars. Because many parts suppliers still have to negotiate wage demands, however, the threat to output remained. . In any event, the auto industry will be unable to meet the goal of six million cars set for 1946. With reasonably clear sailing, it is expected that three million passenger vehicles will be turned out during the remainder of the year. Indicative of the high gear into which the industry must be thrown to meet production goals, Ford has assembled only 76,000 cars thus far: Chrysler, 53,000; General Motors, under 100,000; Studebaker, 38,000; Nash, and Hudson, 4,000.

Herbert Hoover called upon South American nations to join with their Big Brother of the north in conserving cereals for feeding of the hungry in war stricken Europe and Asia. d Prior to leaving for a survey of , overseas conditions, Hoover told a news conference that he believed both North and South America could save upwards of 7 million tons of cereals during the next 120 days to help fill a need for about 9 million tons. The years requirements will total 21 million tons, he said, but only 12 million tons will be available without the undertaking of broad conservation measures. Of the total of 7 million tons that the western hemisphere could furnish within the next four months, South America couid contribute 5 million tons, Hoover said. This amount could be made available by cutting down purchases of foreign goods requiring payment in grain; reducing consumption, and turning over all surpluses to famine threatened areas. first-han- iLOlSiGiill fOMORROWJUtlJHI DeptndabU LAXATIVI GET A 25' BOX ' |
