Field Day
Slated At
Fort Reno
Bonw of the most unusual hogs
| ta U* world will vie with several
hundred experimental cattle for
attention when the first annual
field day at the Port Reno re-
search station is Held Friday.
The program announced by
Dr. A. E Darlow. Oklahoma A.
and M. animal husbandry depart-
ment head and field day chair-
man. calls for assembly at the
• station headquarters three miles
west of H Reno by t:30 a. m.
The tour of the station to see
the livestock win get underway
•t that time.
The hogs are being used In the
regional swine improvement pro-
ject. The general aim of the
work, according to Professor
James Whatley of A. and M„ is
to find new systems or methods
> breeding that will produce hogs
which can produce larger litters,
*aln faster, and make better meat
than the hags of today. Okla
homa A. and M. and 10 other
state agricultural colleges are co-
operating with the U. 8. bureau
of animal Industry In the project.
Many of the hogs are "hybrlds-
wlthin - a - breed,” produced by
breeding systems that are slmi-
) In some ways to the methods
“*®<t by hybrid corn breeders.
Whatley also has hogs that carry
the blood of the Danish isnHr.^
Meed, the Duroc breed, and a Fb-
l»nd China Inbred “line”—all
combined according to a pre-
arranged plan. He has other un-
usual combinations. For compari-
son, he also has hogs that are
purebred of the familiar breeds—
comparable to the hogs found on
many faring.
In all, Whatley wUl show 30
bred guts and IK spring pigs, he
said.
The experimental cattle to be
seen during the field day total
430 Among them will be several
lots which are being used in a
•••rch for ways in which beef
cattle can be Improved faster
th*1V “W arg being improved
1 now.
The question of "large" versus
"smaU" type beef cattle is under
test. Another question Is whether
beef heifers can be expected to
give satisfactory results if bred
to calve at 3 years age. Three
years age is the common prac-
tice In Oklahoma commercial
herds. A comparison of “long
grass” versus “short grass” for
wintering big steers Is another
subject under test of special In-
terest to stockmen of Canadian
and other counties in central
Oklahoma.
Plans call for a visit to all
experimental cattle during the
morning. Clay Potts. A. and M.
short course director, will serve
lunch at 13:30 p.m. Dr. Henry
O. Bennett, A. and M. president,
Is to speak at 1:15 p.m., and at
1:30 p. m. Dr. L. E. Hawkins, ex-
periment station vice director,
will speak on “Port Reno Looks
Ahead," In which he will point
out the general alms of the re-
search projected lor the station.
T. C. Byerly, Washington. D.C.,
wlD speak at 1:45 p.m. Byerly
heads the animal husbandry divi-
sion In the U. 8. bureau of animal
industry.
At 2 p. m., the station visitors
will take to their cars again for
a visit to the experimental swine.
The Oklahoma A. and M. col-
lege officials, and staff members
of the U. 8. bureau of animal
Industry, which holds title to the
Port Reno property being oper-
ated as an experiment station
by A. and M., have invited all
who are interested in better
methods of livestock production.
The field day will mark the
first reports on research at the
station since the work was start-
ed last fall.

Army Freezes
Europe Troops
HEIDELBERG, Qermany, July
Tl—*/P)—U. 8. army headquarters
European command announced to-
day it had frozen all enlisted and
officer personnel in Europe for
six months, beginning Aug. 31.
This means that all home leaves
are cancelled after Aug. 31.
Army authorities at headquar-
ters here declined to elaborate on
the official announcement. They
sak! the order came from Wash-
ington and that their Job was to
carry it out.
American army troop strength
In Europe is about 110,000.
One officer who declined to be
Identified by name said he thought
the order was "obvious” In Its
meaning.
"We simply have to keep what
we've got here,” he said.
There was no Indication imme-
diately that the U. a air force in
»wope was taking a similar step.
The United States maintains only
a token naval force In Oermany,
but a sizeable one In the Mediter-
ranean.
“Two weeks alter l' left J*.
many, my wife received threaten-
ing letters from the Communist
party,” the speaker said, adding
that the Communists were op-
posed to German nationals visiting
the United States In an effort to
foster better understanding.
"We are glad to have the armies
of occupation In the western zone,
otherwise we now would be oc-
cupied by the Russian army,”
Schoen said. "We are happy to
know that the United States Is as-
sisting us."
In describing the present econo-
mic and social conditions existing
In the western part of Germany.
Schoen said that an “average of
four persons are living In one
room.” Due to the revaluation of
currency each citizen In June of
1948 "began life anew with ap-
proximately $60."
Education Fostered
In speaking of the education of
the German youth, Schoen said
that there is a "need to fit youth
for public affairs. We know that
it is necessary to educate our
children with a sense of liberty
and freedom."
Schoen who served In the Ger-
man army during World war ir
was an American prisoner of war
for three months.
In Introducing the speaker,
Hardwick said that at present
prices in Germany coffee was sell-
ing for $15 a pound, clgarets are
20 cents each and one egg costs
18 cents.
Guests for the meeting were E
R. Slocum, Dean Ward and Rev
L- B. Saltzglver.
Visiting Rotarians were Fred
Lankard of Kingfisher and F. D.
Jackson of Oklahoma City.
No Plans Made
To Use Atomic
Bomb in Korea
WASHINGTON, July 38—«MB—
President Truman said today wage-
price-rationing controls are not now
m sight but that II they beoome
necessary, they should be imposed
simultaneously.
Mr. Truman said at a news con-
ference that he still has no plans
to ask for authority now to clamp
such drastic controls on the econ-
omy-
If they do became necessary, he
mid, it will be because total mob-
ilization has become necessary.
Trwaan IMssgrrss
The president Indicated clearly
that he does no believe that now
is the time for the all-out mobillsa-
i°n advocated by Bernard M.
laruch.
Baruch gave his views to the
senate banking committee yester-
day. He asserted that prices, rents,
and wages must be froeen now and
taxes boosted high enough to pay
for the war and preparations for
future wars.
Asked for his reaction to Baruch’s
proposals, the president referred
reporters to his own limited mob-
ilization recommendations sent
congress last week.
The president said he feels his
proposals are the right ones to
meet the situation. He added that
if he had not thought so he would
not have sent them.
Mr. Truman also said today he Is
not at this time contemplating use
of atomic bombs against the North
Korean Communists.
Hopes for Peace
He made the disclosure In re-
sponse to a question at his news
conference.
Solemnly he told reporters that
he still hopes fervently for world
peace.
In this connection he said he
will ask congress for more money
with which to arm free nations that
are danger of Communist aggres-
sion. He said the request la being
drafted J)y government agencies
and will go to captol hill before this
~ congress adjourns.

Senate Plans
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 27—(J$*>
—The slim margin by which com
plete unofficial tabulations gave
Johnston Mun-ay the Democratic
governor's nomination is compli-
cating party politics in the state
senate.
Latest counts showed Murray de-
feated William O. Coe by 886 votes
but Coe says he will demand a re-
oount and charges election officials
stole the nomination from him.
Until this Is settled, selection of
a president pro tempore in a
Democratic senate caucus likely
will be delayed.
Senator Raymond Qary of Ma-
dlU—originally a Coe supporter—
and Senator Louis H. Ritzhaupt
of Outhrie, who favored Murray,
are working for support pledges
from other senators.
Senator Frank Mahan of Fair-
fax also Is In the running.
But Gary declares he Is a can-
didate regardless of who Is nomi-
nated. He Is chairman of the pres-
ent appropriations committee, and
argues that the senate should or-
ganize itself.
House leadership also is being
discussed, but traditionally the
new governor selects the speaker.
Active candidates are J. M. Bui
lard of Duncan; John Russell, Jr
Okmulgee: W. H. Langley. 8U1

ton.
