BYAN The timing of Moscow's re-tion of India's compromise proposal for a Korean truce may Local citizens get the Bird, Thanks To Poultrymen Like Irving Johnson By JOAN S. WHITE This week is the big one for local turkey ranchers. Out Stanton way where all-American bird rules the roosts, the past 28 weeks has been a time of strenuous activity and feverish muddy. That is the time it takes to develop tiny day old chicks into plump broadcasted full grown birds at the peak of perfection for holiday eating. Turkey raising is a ticklish business. Will the birds make their maximum weight by Thanksgiving? Will they avoid the many diseases that the gobblers are subject to? Will the market hold steady to cover the cost of feed and overhead and allow a little profit besides? Now in the midst of killing and dressing the birds and shipping them to market, the rancher hasn't time to talk much about these things but you can bet he is keeping his fingers crossed. Taft 'Goes Along' On Ike's Cabinet Appointments COLUMBUS, O. (P)—Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, powerful leader of the Republican Senate Policy committee, says he has given President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower his recommendations for the three cabinet posts not filled. Taft did not make the names public at a news conference in Columbus or in his Ohio Farm Bureau Convention speech last night. Gen. Eisenhower has not named his secretary of labor, secretary of commerce or postmaster general. Taft said he assumed Arthur Summerfield, chairman of the Republican Central committee would be named to head the post office department. The senator said he "acquiesced in many" of the six cabinet appointments made by the President-elect but the men he recommended were not picked for the jobs. He said he recommended Sen. Harry Byrd (D-Va) as secretary of the Treasury, but emphasized that because he did not recommend the man Eisenhower selected, George M. Humphrey of Cleveland, it did not mean "I wouldn't recommend him for One of the county's largest operations from the standpoint of feed consumed is the Santa Fe turkey ranch at 8621 E.' Cerritos ave., owned and operated by Irving Johnson. Appeal from its size, this ranch is unique because it produces chickens, ducks, geese and sheep along with the turkeys, an almost unheard of procedure in this highly specialized field. While most ranchers shy away from intermixing other types of poultry with turkeys because of the increased threat of disease spreading through the flocks, Johnson has successfully stocked this 16 acre ranch with 5200 bronze broad-breasted turkeys, 500 ducks, 50 geese and 10 sheep in addition to the 900 chickens that are sent to market each week. Food bills stand at a whopping $2100 weekly. Losses have been kept at a phenomenally low 2 per cent. Johnson attributes this figure to the innoculation of the day old birds, and to the repeated use of a steam cleaning machine in brooders, feeding troughs, glass drinkers and all buildings on the premises. Because of the success of its operation, the Santa Fe turkey ranch is soon to be given nationwide publicity by a national poultry breeders magazine. In the course of developing the ranch in a 9-year period from a few hundred birds to its present scope, Johnson has successfully competed with the influx of range fed birds from other states. Although the range fed birds are usually marketed a few cents less per pound, they are not apt to have the "finish" of local grain-fed turkeys. Scientifically balanced turkey ration produces prime birds in a short time, making them tender, compact and meaty. Pound for pound, the meat is higher in protein than steak. The high cost of meat is proving a boon to the turkey ranchers. As the price of meat advances, more and more people are turning to turkey as a satisfactory year-round substitute. Vishinsky told the United Nations—dashing truce hopes—the process that only the Soviet resolution embodied forms impossible for the United States was acceptable to Meow in the Korean issue. The involves a general 11-nail commission to handle all Korean questions, including repatriation issue. Red China and Red North Korea, as well as the Soviet Union and Communist Czechoslovakia would be on this commission could result in making the Rean Peninsula a bristling arm camp for an indefinite period. The Vishinsky pronouncement illuminates the whole Soviet mine which began in the summer of 1951 with the Moscow proposal purportedly looking toward armistice. It indicates that having gambled desperately and unsuccessfully to secure the whole Rean Peninsula for the USSR, Russians intended to perpetuate Stalemate cooling Moscow life and the United States a great deal. The surprise came with its haste of Moscow's rejection India's proposal. This suggests that Moscow suspected the British油美 Americans of The senator said he "acquiesced in many" of the six cabinet appointments made by the President-elect but the men he recommended were not picked for the jobs. He said he recommended Sen. Harry Byrd (D-Va) as secretary of the Treasury, but emphasized that because he did not recommend the man Eisenhower selected, George M. Humphrey of Cleveland, it did not mean "I wouldn't recommend him for a job." He praised the nomination of Ezra Taft Benson of Salt Lake City, Utah, to the secretary of agriculture's post. "I certainly joined in the recommendation," Taft said, "but I can't claim him as my recommendation." Brazil Smoothes Lovers' Path RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP)—A special ruling by Minister of Agriculture João Gleophas will make possible the marriage of a white government worker and an Indian princess he courted deep in the Matto Groso Jungle. Normally the government bans such matches with Indians, who are wards of the state. The prospective groom, Ayres Camara Cunha, met Princess Diaculc—Prairie Flower—four years ago while on a government expedition into the remote Indian country. The plump 18-year-old girl's father was a chief of the Kahapalos, a primitive tribe in which the women wear only loin cords. Having become a Roman Catholic, she wants a Christian marriage ceremony and has been awaiting government permission in a hot on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. She flew there last week with her father and two brothers. Camara, a government worker among the Indians, will return to the jungle with his bride. JILL TO HELF MOTHER—Jill Hollingsworth above (18); the Detroit, Mich. girl whose dreams of film glamor were shattered a few weeks ago with the arrest of her mother Mrs. Beatrice Hollingswroth on charges of embezzling $25,000; is back in Hollywood. When her mother was arrested she hurried home to help her, but now she's returned to Hollywood in the hopes of landing a job and helping repay the money her mother said she embezzled to finance the blonde beauty a film career. If she succeeds, she hopes to win leniency for her mother when her case goes to court early next year. Indians Invite Ikke NEW DELHI, India (AP)—"Strong recommendations" have been sent to U.S. President-elect Eisenhower that he visit India route home from Korea if he reliably learned here today. These recommendations, from high diplomatic level, argued such a visit would end apprehensions among the Indians that Republican victory foreshadowed a change in U.S. policy toward this country.
