BROWN Member o f Congress The important news o f the past ’ . week wraat o f course, the announce­ ment which came from the Big Three ^Conference o f Roosevelt, Churchill ' and Stalin, just concluded at Yalta in Southern Russia. There has been a general approval o f the program as. •announced fo r hastening the final de­ feat o f Germany, destroying the Nazi mavemnet, occupying the Reich, arid ' demilitarizing the Fatherland. There has been sojme "Criticism o f the agree­ ments announced as to the allocation Of territory and fixing o f national boundary lines for some o f the libera­ ted countries, especially Poland, al­ though" there is a general -realization It 'has "heen necw siry to .find some temporary solution for the problem, However, past history teaches dis­ putes over territory and boundries have been the rocks upon which most . peace pacts .and international agree­ ments have fiinally wrecked. That the Yalta Conference was conducted in good spirit and ended in mutual a- greement gives encouragement for .a peaceful postwar 'world; although, o f course, final judgment cannot be pss- sed-upon the worth or permanancy of the .Conference accomplishments until nm o re complete report has been re­ ceived and carefully studied. f COURT NEWS J It now-appears certain that Con­ gress will not enact the May “Work o r ‘ail iBill in the form in which it pas­ sed the House. The Military Affairs Committee o f the Senate refused ;to rash the legislation through without hearings. Their hearings revealed , so maiiy weaknesses in the May Bill, as well as such a great wastage of >manpower field, .not just the men I t »m 18.to 45, will be voluntary as. far as individual workmen are concerned, and will give the War Map Power Commission authority to allocate a-, vailable labor where .and when need­ ed; 'gnd to place, ceilings upon useiof labor ,in unessential industries,' Inci­ dentally, the Committee will probably direct War Mobilizer Byrnes to make a 1 Careful study and investigation.of manpower Wastage in the government service, and in the Army and Navy. Speaking o f manpower problems— as well as the drafting o f farm work­ ers into the military, service—a re­ port released last week by General . Hershey, Director of Selective Service ob the number o f draft deferments fo r Federal workers, may be o f idter- est, Accordingt to Gen. Hershey’s official report, 265,809 civilians hold­ ing government jobs, "but qualified fo r military' service, were enjoying deferred status as o f December 1st, last. This is more than twice the num­ ber o f deferments in effect a, year age fo r bn December 1st, 1943,only 130,- 605 men in civilian positions with the government were , deferred frem mil­ itary service. These figures include only those between 18 and 44ers, found disqualified fo r military service ate also working for the government. So perhaps it mighb be wise for the Administration to do a little house- cleaning within the government ser­ vice before going too far in taking needed essential workers o ff the farms o f the nation, or conscripting civilian workmen fo r war plants. When the' true' story o f the wastage Of manpower by the government, both in civilian and military establish­ ments, becomes known, it may be­ come a national scandal. Two or three years ago President Roosevelt appointed Judge Nathan R. MargoM, a radical young New Dealer from New York, as a Munici­ pal .Judge fo r the city o f Washington. A .few days ago he nominated Mar- gold. to become a U, S. Judge for the District o f Columbia, and sent his name .to the Senate fo r confirmation. A Senate Judiciary Subcommittee Will cofiduct hearings on the nomination, beginning February 23rd. In ' the meantime the District o f Columbia Bar Association has followed the un- ) precedented procedure o f conducting ■1 a secret ballot to learn whether its membership favored or opposed Mar- gold’s appointment, The results were g(J4 votes against, and only 204 for, Margold’s appointment.

The con­ tinued blanket o f snow and ice on the barnyards keeps brood sows from ex­ ercising and, for that, reason, has a bad effect on spring litters. Good clover o ra lfA fa hay shoiild be placed in the racks to coax sows to take ex­ ercise and -also to 1 provide them with protein, mineral and vitamin D. Brood sows should be getting at least one-half pound o f protein sup­ plement dally and their feed ration should contain 2 or 3 percent o f min­ erals. Newly farrowed pigs have a chemical analysis of about 70 per­ cent protein, and 29 percent minerals and these minerals must come out o f the sow’s ration.
