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.
An overland trade route across
Asia, between the western world
and the Indies, was developed In
the 15th century.

Atomic Farming
Technique Seen
AUBURN, Ala. (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.

Schools Asked i
To Fight Crime
BREMERTON, Wash. (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.
