Unless the unexpected happens, UMT will not 'be considered at all by the Senate this year, as a result of the action in the House. That’s not definite — anything could happen. But I think there’s little likelihood that the Senate will take up time with a matter which has already been postponed indefinitely in the House. Every Senator and Congress man has received large amounts of mail for and against UMT. At first, most of my mail was against the measure. Later we began hear ing from veterans’ groups and private citizens who favor UMT. At this writing, the opponents and proponents are about evenly di vided. I have tried to pay careful at tention to every argument ad vanced by both sides. Occasion ally I have received strong let ters from some few ministers and others who oibjected because I did not come out flatly against UMT at the very beginning. I could not conscientiously do so then—and I cannot now. I am certainly not in favor of any law which would give to any administration the power which would lead to the enslavement of our people by the military. But 1 do feel—as I think most people do—that all loyal Amer icans recognize that our land and our liberty are worth defending at all cost. The foreign policy of our nation, rightly or wrongly, has led us into a situation which finds us roam ing, the world, .participating in the affairs of other nations. To protect our position, our only real defense is force of arms. It is regrettable, but the only ques tion left to us is how to choose the young men for our military forces. I believe that we should make the responsibility as- democratic as possible. The rich should serve as well as the poor, the high as well as the low, the brilliant as well as the less intelligent. I want to make it clear that I am not committed to any specific legislation. The question' of how -I would finally vote on UMT would depend on the fipal form of QUESTION: What should I use to disinfect my poultry house? ANSWBiR: Ordinary household lye makes a good disinfectant. Use it at the rate of one can of lye to 13 gallons of ^ater, or one ounce to one gallon. When using this concentration, wet down the floor and walls. Then, after 20 to 30 minutes or longer, the area should be scrubbed with a brush or old broom. Stronger concentration’s are more effective and are generally used on equipment. A 13-ounce can of lye to five gallons of water gives a 2 per cent solution which is about right for use on equip ment. Rubber gloves, rubber shoes and cotton garments should be worn when applying this disinfect ant. time this item alone would cost the taxpayers of every county in our state approximately $60,01)0 as well as those in every other county in every other state. •Rie February issue of “Read er’s Digest” tells one reason why I thought the grain-to-India pro posal was reckless. The magazine points out tha*. the people in India worship sac red monkeys and oows. The sac red monkeys alone consume and destroy three million tons of grain a year. The $190 million we’re spending to provide grain to In dia will provide only two million tons. In other words, the monkeys eat smd destroy 50 per cent more than we’re providing with ou tax money. And that doesn’t count the sn^.- red cewi. I QUESTION: How often should I allow my dairy csws to produce calves? , ANSWER: Tests show that the,^ 12-month interval will usually give the most production. Recent work conducted in West Virginia shows that greater production is not obtained by permitting cows more than 12 or 13 months be tween calves. The work also in dicates a 10-month interval is certainly not desirable from the standpoint of production. Federal Employees I. thought you’d be interested to know that the executive branch of our government now employs 2,517,77'8 people, as of January 31. That represents an increase of 12,989 since December 31. That’s an average of 419 new employees each day, counting Sundays. Or about two new ones every five minutes.

I frankly do not like the idea of mortgaging the lives of young men for 7% years—which is the prescribed' length of time a man shall remain in the reserves under the prorposed law. I would prefer, I think, that he serve a full year, then remain in the reserves for two years. I thought I ought to get my {Kjsition straight,on this matter. I of course, want to avoid any fight ing if possible. I don’t think any American should expect another to do his fighting for him—in case there is war. I think some foi;m of UMT is the only demo cratic method. of maintaining military forces, We must be realistic and re member that we must maintain our armed strength. We are peace- loving nation.
