Fanners Given Baby Chicks Hints Farmers who are planning to increase their poultry holdings this year were advised by the Pennsylvania State College Ex tension Service to get the baby chicks off on the right foot. While filled feeders and fountains should be in place when the chicks are put in the brood mg quarters, poultry experts say the best method for early feeding is to place either mash, or chick gram on a piece of news paper. Once started, chicks may have constant access to the feeders but farmers were warned that care should be exercised to pre vent heavy grain feeding at an early age. If chick grain has been fed from the outset the substitu tion or medium cracked corn should be delayed until the chicks are four weeks old. Oyster shells, limestone, or other sources of calcium should be fed sparingly, at least until the chicks are five or sir weeks old.

(IP) New slants on the role Congress should play in writing the peace and on how it should be enforced emerged today from the State Department! and the House, where postwar topics are gaining increasing Chairman Bloom (D NY) of the House Foreign Affairs Committee advocated a constitutional amend ment whereby both the House and the Senate could ratify the peace treaty by a simple majority vote. Now a two thirds majority in the Senate is required and the treaty! of Versailles failed to get that.

At the same time, it was dis closed that State Department studies on world security organiza tions have advanced to a point where this government is about ready to offer sjecific proposals. The plan, it is understood, rules out any kind of international police force built by recruits from many nations. Instead it calls for half a dozen or more of the major nations to maintain forces big enough to deal with potential trouble makers. This new concept of how the peace should be enforced is to be placed before informal bi partisan groups of the House and Senate for their opinions. The State Department has been meeting with members of both branches for some time.

Secretary Hull told Speaker Rayburn yesterday he is anxious to continue the conferences. How the administration feels about Bloom's plan isn't known The chairman frequently voices State Department views, however, on matters of foreign policy. Bloom's plan in this case may be entirely independent. He has said that personally, he feels the House should have some say about the peace when it has quite a lot to say' about financing the war. The Senate may have different ideas The State Department's concept of peace enforcement was made known officially in general terms by Breckenridge Long, assistant secretary, in a speech in JNlew York last night' Long's statement was viewed here as having great importance because the problem of the mam tenance and use of force to main tain peace is regarded as the No.

Navy scientists disclosed today development of new "candy type," tablet form emergency rations for lile boats and rafts, and declared a day's allotment weighed half as much and was more palatable to thirsty men than present shipwreck rations of the Navy and Merchant Marine. Designed to take up as little space as possible in an emergency craft and to furnish food that can be taken with a minimum of dif ficulty when the mouth is dry, the new ration consists of three different types of tablets: One of sucrose (sugar and citric acid and to provide fruity compo nents and promote the ilow oi saliva; One of sucrose, corn syrup, and citric acid, containing a butter scotch like material to provide buttery fat; One ot sucrose corn syrup and malted milk.

A daily ration consists of tab lets totaling about a third of a pound in weight. The present aoandon snip ra tion of the Navy consisting of biscuit, malted milk tablets, pem mican (the old Indian trail food), and chocolate weighs about two thirds of a pound. Researchers of the Navy Medi cal Research Institute at Bethesda, reporting their findings in the Naval Medical Bulletin, said the new development would be suitable not only for shipwrecked men but for those "involved in crashes of aircraft in the wilderness, para chute maneuvers, or landing op erations" where the supply of water may be limited. The rations were first tested and given an okay by a group of 18 volunteers who spent four days on pneumatic life rafts under tropical conditions in the Uuii oi Mexico last summer. The work was reported by Dr.

A. C. Ivy, formerly of Northwestern University, who has been doing research for the Navy, and by four Naval investigators: Lts. Palmer H. Futcher, W.

V. Con solazio, and Nello Pace, and Ensign Elizabeth J. Gerard of the WAVES. Tanker Is Sunk In Arabian Sea San Francisco, April 13, (JP) The torpedoing and sinking of the Standard Oil Tanker H. D.

The missing included the ship's master, Capt. Joseph Fox, of Calif. A large com plement, of the missing persons were residents of the San Fran cisco area.

The tanker, named after Presi dent H. D. Collier of the Standard Oil Company, was attacked and sunk in mid March, the Navy said. We are grieved that so many of our men are missing, said Collier They are heroes as much as the men in the battle line, for their job was to deliver precious war materials through submarine fested waters and they held steadfastly, to that job until they were skutk dowja bir the enemy." rn i 1 i L.
