ATTEND LAMB FEEDING TOUR Several farmers from Sullivan County attended the Annual Lamb Feeding Tour sponsored by Producer's Commission Association of Indianapolis for those men who are feeding western lambs and yearlings wethers throughout the state. . Several interesting stops were made on the tour discussing the types of feeding and valuable feeds for lambs and wethers. Ote Wall of Producers was chairman of the tour and full day s pro-u gram. ( At noon, lunche was served by the Young Married Couple's class of the Advance Church, sponsored by the Producers. Speakers included Scott Meeks, formerly a lamb buyer with Producers who brought out the importance of co-operation between farmers in handling of buying and selling of lambs. He discussed the lamb feeding operations in Indiana since its beginning. Claude Harper, head of the Animal Husbandry Department of Purdue University, brought out that there were fewer sheep in the United States than there had been in the last eighty years. He showed by chart that the numbers had dropped from 50,000,000 to 32,000,000 in 1947. Mike Conway of the Research F XT J 1 T1 s " oi iauonai jrroaucers commission'" Association of Chicago, brought out the fact that large numbers of lambs had gone directly to market from western ranges which resulted in large numbers being marketed during September, October, and November. It is therefore concluded that fewer lambs will be marketed in December, January and Febru ary. If demands hold steady, ; prices will probably increase. . The final sneaker for the meeting was Hassil Schenck, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau who talked a few minutes regarding the world situation and economic problems confronting farmers in general through out the state. He discussed the importance of a world market for agriculture products and what it might "mean if the foreign markets were lost. He brought out the point that we were loaning monev to other countries who in1 food from America. Those from Sullivan who attended were T. M. Durham, Dana R. Pigg, Paul Wible, Carl Medsker, and Billy Beach, assistant county agent.

Except possibly for the Scheherazade symphonic suite whi.ch didn,t ap.peal to many of the audience, there was only admiration for the perform' . ance put on by the girl orchestra.

I He said that the Taft-Hartley ,bor relations act should be amended to ban "illegal conspicacies in restraint of trade" which in some cases, he said, amounted to simple snaKeaowns or rackets." "The Sherman anti-trust law was designed to affect combinations in business," he said in an interview. "Combinations by labor involves a different set of facts and probably should be dealt' with in separate legislation.." I Gwinn said that public housing projects were developed to force j the taxpayers to build homes for persons who because of the monopoly cannot build for them selves.

Zb (UP) The Philippines indicated it might vote against the Pales- , tine partition in the United Nations General Assembly today, whiph would throw precious support to Arabs and might block bys a narrow margin final apIproval of the United Nations I partition plan.

HARRIMAN ASKS FOR POWER OF ALLOCATION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (UP) Secretary of Commerce W. Averill Harriman today asked ( Congress for governmental power F to allocate and control the use of scarce commodities, especially scarce steel. Testifying before the joint Congressional economic committee, Harriman also urged the restoration of consumer credit controls, allocation of railroad equipment and facilities under the Office of Defense Transportation and the continuance of export controls. Harriman did not ask rationing and price and wage controls. President Truman last week asked such powers on a stand-by basis, to be used only if necessary on scarce items which are basic in the cost of living. The joint economic committee is considering part of Mr. Tru man's ten-point anti-inflation program which he placed before the emergency session of Congress Nov. 17. Chairman Marriner S. Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board yesterday called for increased labor production, a longer work week, restraint from wage demands, maximum government economy, and expansion of the government savings bond campaign Harriman told the joint econ omic committee that his proposals for anti-inflation were "precautionary steps" to be taken in case "rationing and price and wage controls should prove to be necessary." Harriman emphasized that he did not ask for restoration of the J comprehensive twar-time controls r-. 1 Vl 1 1 J.1 J But he warned solemnly that "authority to carry put restricted 'priorities and allocation controls I is necessary SEEK TREATY FOR AUSTRIA AT CONFERENCE LONDON, Nov. 26 (UP) Secretary of State George C.

Warning that thousands of Hoos- , ier World War II veterans .will be throwing away for keeps their chance to obtain National Service Life Insurance if they do not heed a December 31, 1947 deadline for reinstatement of lapsed policies without a physical examinaton wias made by Oscar R. Brown, Rehabilitation Director of the Indiana American Legion, today. Brown said: "December 31 next is the deadline set by Congress for World War II veterans to reinstate lapsed National Service Life insurance without a physical examination. Many veterans, due to rigors of wartime service, are not able now to- pass a physical examination to obtain insurance with a private company. "With exception of a few cases falling into special categories, all !that .a World War 11 veteran is required to do to reinstate his lapsed government life insurance policy is, pay two monthly premiums without interest and fill i out Veterans Administration apBrown pointed out that government National Life Insurance . is priceless. It affords a choice of beneficiaries, seven plans of life insurance ranging from ordinary life to endowment, four optional modes of settlement, including payment in a lump sum, and that total disability income privileges ' are available also. . Any Legion post service officer in 476 communities of the state will help veterans with their insurance applications free of charge or the veteran may write to the Regional Insurance Officer, Veterans Administration, Century Building, 36 South Pennsylvania ' Street, Indianapolis 9, Indiana.
