In Arranging Work
Important points to tbe consid-
ered In arranging fci war veter-
ans to have training in farming

by Paul R Taylor, superintendent
of El Reno schools.
State agencies which coordinate
the on-the-job training pro?ram in
Oklahoma, under provisions of the
131 bill of rights, have turned the
work to the school districts to be
administered by superintendents of
schools.
In following suggestions for
ttaining veterans on-the-job in
fanning as part ot the GI on-the-
job training program, Taylor stated
that first the veteran should be
placed on a farm that Is repre-
sentative of the type oi tanning
he wishes to follow; and second,
that the veteran should Ire trained
long enough and thoroughly j
enough to be able, without super-
vision, to successfully operate and I
manage a farm of the type in I
v.'hih he is interested.
I'roedure Suggested
A general procedure to be fol-
lowed has been suggested In set-
ting up a training outline for gen-
eral farming in north central Ok-
lahoma. Factors advanced for
consideration arc outlined as fol-
lows:
1. Attitude of the farm opera-
tor toward the learner or trainee.

Principals in a modern but happier version of the love legend of

Liverpool. Discharged from the army in the United States. Lamoureaux
promptly shipped out for England. His anxiety to spend Christmas
with his wile and baby daughter caused him to leap from the ship as
it passed five miles offshore from Liverpool. There the Hero-Leandcr
parallel ends. Leander drowned while attempting to swim to Hero and
she “threw herself into the sea." Lamoureaux was taken out of the
wuter exhausted after swimming a couple of miles. He was turned over
to the British immigration officers who ordered his deportation to the
United States.

wounds inflicted yesterday by tlie
husband of the blond model he had

It was believed that charges
filed yesterday against Captain
Archie Miller, husband of puiup
girl Fay Hancock Miller, would be
changed from felonious assault
iand violation of the Sullivan gun

Miller confessed that he shot

OKLAHOMA CITY. Dec. 29 — I 11116 shooting, which occurred in
Mrs. Millers' apartment overlook-
ing Fifth avenue early yesterday,
came after the blond model had
told her husband, who recently re-
turned from the European theater
of war, that she wanted to divorce
him to marry Dale, Pacific war
hero and survivor of the death
march from Bataan.
Dale was sitting in the living
room of Mrs. Miller's flat when the
former Powers model informed her
husband, in a conversation in the
adjoining bedroom, that she had
consulted her lawyer for a div-
orce.
A moment later Miller ran into

Hope Is Seen
For Averting
Steel Strike
Federal Department
Survey Shows Need
Of Higher Prices
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29. — (U.R)
Hope rose In government circles
today that the steel strike threat-
ened for Jan. 14 may be averted.
Cllvlian Production Administrator
John D. Small said that "we
would be In a mess all over the
country" of there should be a
steel strike.
The department of commerce is
said to have completed a survey
showing that higher steel prices
are necessary because of higher
production costs.
An award of higher prices might
break the current impasse be-
tween the U. 8. Steel corporation,
industrv leader, and the United
Steel Workers (CIO) and set a
pattern for the entire industry.
The company has refused to con-
sider wage raises without a price
boost. Tlie ui.ion has set January
14 for a nationwide steel strike
unless its *2-a-day wage Increase
demands on the industry arc met.
President To Appeal
Elsewhere on the labor front in
Washington:
1. President Truman was said to
be considering how strong to
make his new appeal to congress
for the statutory fact-finding
boards fallowing the General Mo-
tors walkout from tlie panel in-
quiring into its dispute with its
workers. Sources close to the pres-
ident said his faith in his propos-
ed fact-finding boards with pow-
er to subpena company books is
unshaken.
They said he felt GM had in-
vited public disfavor by quitting
the present panel, which lack*
subpena powers, because it ob-
jected to the panel's decision to
consider ability to pay wage in-
creases.
Despite the company walkout tlie
panel planned to continue look-
ing into the 30-day-oid General
Motors strike today. Union Vice-
President Walter Reuther was
scheduled to conclude presentation
of the union’s case. He said the
union’s case was based on Gen-
eral Motors annual reports and
government figures. The panel
said It would sift this data.
Views Conflirt
2. The national labor relations
board quit taking strike votes af-
ter President Truman signed leg-
islation prohibiting use of gov-
ernment funds for such polls. La-
bor officials believed unions 'still
would have to file 30-day strike
notices under the Smlth-Con-
lally act. Union officials thought
that would be true onlv for
plants engaged in production for
the armed forces.
NLRB polls have cost the gov-
ernment nearly *1.000.000 Gov-
ernment labor officials believed
they neither prevented nor en-
couraged strikes and their elim-
ination will have little or no ef-
fect on the overall labor picture.
All scheduled polls now have been
called off.
3. The new wage stabilization
board which will replace the war
labor board next Tuesday an-
nounced its plans for handling
wage problems. It will not touch
labor dispute cases but will rule
on wage increases based on agree-
ments between employers and em-
ployes whicii may effect price or
rent ceilings.
