Page 30 Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Sunday, Pec. 21,1947 Board May Set T-H Precedent NEW YORK OP) The Nation al Labor Relations Board says it has made its regional office acces sible to a small Connecticut beer distributor a ruling that might enable thousands of small busi nesses to invoke provisions of the Taft-Hartley Law. The case involves William A. Mosow, a Bridgeport beer dealer, who wished to file unfair labor practice charges against Local 40 of the United Brewery Workers (CIO). Mosow, who normally employs one and sometimes two persons, charged the union was exerting pressure on brewers not to sell him any beer until he signed a union agreement. The NLRB said this week Mos ow maintained that while his sales were confined to Connect! cut his business had an interstate character because the home of fices of companies from which he purchased beer were in New Jer sey and Illinois. Mosow took his request to Washington where NLRB head quarters ordered the New York regional office to take jurisdiction if investigation showed Mosow's charges of secondary boycott and freedom of employes to join or not join a union were well found ed. Observers pointed out that ex tension of this viewpoint might open the. doors of the NLRB to corner groceries and cigar stores that obtain all or part of their stock from outside the state of their location.

(U.RV-The av erage farmer can expect to grow bigger tomatoes and sugar beets and increase American wheat nroduction in the next few years because of the application of atomic research to agriculture. Dr. M. Thomas, agricultural re search chemist for the American Smelting and Refining Co. of Salt Lake City, Utah, explained to several hundred fellow scientists here how atomic energy has made improved crops possible. First Conference He was one of several speakers at the world's first conference on farm research application of ra dioactive istopes. Thomas said researchers are using radioactive sulphur In ex periments in vegetable growth. Farmers and scientists have known for a long time that to matoes, sugar beets, grains and many other crops need sulphur for proper development, he said. But the trouble has been that dif ferent vegetables and grains ap pear to need the chemical in dif ferent forms and from different sources. Sulphur Compounds Where one type of sulphur compound helps tomatoes, anoth er type actually slows the growth, scientists and farmers have been puzzling over ways to find out just which sulphur compound is good for which grain or vegetable. Radioactive sulphur, produced in an atomic oven, can be traced through the plants to determine whether it is going to make large vegetables, fruit and grains or "nubbins" hanging to plants with large leaves and stalks. Through such experiments in the laboratory, Thomas said, scientists are now about to tell farmers which kind of sulphur fertilizers to use on specific crops. The result will be cheaper fertiliz er costs and better production.

(U.R) Educational budgets should be revised to include trained sociol ogists and psychologists in public school systems if crime is to be stopped before it starts, according to Warden Tom smitn oi me Washington State penitentiary at Walla Walla. The warden told the East Brem erton Parent-Teachers Assn. here that "school rooms, not prison walls, are the places to depopu late our penal institutions." "Either- we spend more money for education or we spend it for jails," he said. Smith based his challenge to parents and educators on a three- year study of 2,000 case histories and on personal contact with in mates. He said he was amazed to learn how little many inmates had been taught of the right and wrong way of life. "The fact that 80 per cent of prison inmates come from broken homes is ell the-more reason why educators should watch and inter cept budding criminal careers," he said. : Medical School Sets Interview Date The admissions committee for the University of Oregon medical school, Portland, will be on the Eugene campus Friday and Sat urJay, January 9 and 10, to in terview applicants for the 1948-49 school year.
