Dairy Specialist Speaks At Meeting Explains Methods To Dairy Farmers K. R. Johnson, dairy specialist who has been working with Purdue extension specialists on methods for identifying dairy calves that will not produce much milk when grown to maturity, explained his methods to an interested group of Adams county dairy farmers at a meeting of the D.H.I.A. at Edison Lehman’s farm In Monroe township Thursday night. JGuests of the group included Hubert Fuelling and Don Hirshy, artificial breeders association technicians, and Mel Kreps, Curtiss Candy technician. Johnson was Accompanied by Ed Gannon, head of the dairy exten sion department of the state of Indiana. About 1200 to 3250 can be saved on each heifer by culling them out when three to six months old by this new method, Johnson stated. His method has proven to be over 90 per cent accurate, if dairy calves can be identified as good or bad future milk producers, gi eater profits can be made from dairy farming, he explained He pointed out that if a dairy cow produces only fl.ooo pounds of milk a year, or less, the farmer is losing money on the milk from that cow. With a little practice, a dairyman can now tell with reasonable j certainty whether or not a young heifer will be a good milk producer : in two or three years. Johnson's method, which was demonstrated last night, consists of measuring the milk glands and udder, and by estimating the amount cf fibre in the udder. Scientists say that continued rej search over the past 2<T,years has I raised the average egg production j per hen from one every three days to one every two days.

Question Claim Os Cong. Stringfellow Army Times Scouts Story Os Heroism WASHINGTON (INS) -r-A congressman's claim that he took part in a cloak-and-dagger rescue of a German atomic scientist behind Nazi lines during World War 11 was under Question today. 'However, Rep. Douglas Stringfellow (iR Utah,) whose personal Story of heroism was questioned by the •‘Army Times," a noh-offi-cial puHication, declared the challenge otf his own account of his wartime experiences was "politically inspired.” The Times. In a copyrighted article, particularly questioned Stringfellow’s convention that he ■was a member oif a super-secret SiS mission in 1»44 which sought to spirit atomic scientist, Dr. Otto Hahn, out of Germany. The Utah congressman flew to, Denver Thursday in an attempt to talk to President Eisenhower but was unable to see the (thief executive. Stringfellow listed service with the OSS in his congressional record biography and "Who’s Who in America" lists hhn with the OSS in 164-4 and 1946. He appeared on the television program. "This IS Yo’ur Life" in January-whtah brought congratulations from the White House-and wrote newspaper articles fn the role of a former OSS man. The veterans edition of the privately published “Army Times” challenged his OSS record. It questioned whether he had opportunity In his military career as listed by the army tot Mm to have served on OSS missions. Stringfellow. 32. who walks with canes as a result of wounds caused by an exploding German mine, immediately labeled the article “politically inspired." His Ogden, Utah, office said he ■would not have further comment until his lawyer sdee the Army Times story and studies it for possible libel. The congressman, serving hie first term in congress, in fighting for reelection. His diplomatic opponent is Waiter K. Granger, whom he defeated in 1952. Stringfellow holds the purple heart for wounde received in action on Nov. 19, 1944; the Euro-pean-African-Middle Eastern campaign medal with one bronze star for the Rhinelamd campaign; the American campaign medal, and the World War ft victory medal. tAccording to the Army Times. Stringfellow ciftiiuut.to have been mustered out of the army in the early fall of 1944, attended a White House basement meeting, in which a group of 30 heard the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt tell them they were “expendable, ’’ and then to have been flown to Marseilles, France. The Army Times said also that he had indicated he led 15 specially trained parachutists behind enemy lines. The Army records do not show any Oss Service - but that would not be disclosed in any event-and the army record reflectes that Stringfellow was not discharged until Nov. 8. 1945-a;ter nearly a,year in hospitals. ’ The Army Times made the point that the Army records that he went overseas with the 62nd armored infantry division by sea transport, leaving Oct. 14,1944 and arriving jn the European theater Oct. 28- In less than a month, he was wounded in a Gerntah _mine field. The overseas shipment, the Armt Times said, appeared to conflict with the alleged statement by Stringfenow that .. e was discharged in the eaTly fall, attended a Mtilte Hthtse meeting and wa> flown overseas.
