Proposed Design for U.S.
Air Force Academy Draws
Wrath of Democratic Solon
Washington J(U.R) Rep. John
E. Fogarty (D-R.I.) wants the
new Air Force Academy to look
more like a "national shrine"
and less like an overgrown cafe
teria "on stilts."
"je said the proposed designs
for the Air Academy, to be built
at Colorado Springs, Colo., have
caused "considerable consterna
tion" In Congress and among
notable church and architectural
leaders.
Fogarty made the statement
in comments published in the
Congressional Record today.
He said the design for the
Academy Chapel looked like "an
accordion lying on its side" or
"a line of telescoDed indian
tepees." Air Secretary Harold
Talbott has said the present de
sign is only tentative and will
be reviewed.
Fogarty said the academy's
plans should be basically re
vised from its present designs.
"First, the design is not Amer
ican in conception and is un
worthy of the tradition of this
nation," he said. "Second, the
taxpayers should not be saddled
with an initial cost of $126,000,-
000 dollars to build a monument
Pigs, Poultry
Eating More Sea
Food Every Year
Washington U.R) Pigs
and poultry are eating more sea
food every year and thriving on
it.
Government experts said it
makes them grow faster and, in
the case of chickens, makes
them lay more eggs.
The fish meal business has
become one of the fastest grow
ing industries in commercial
fishing as a result.
Most of it is due to a small
her-ring-like fish called the men
haden which is found only
along the Atlantic coast from
Maine to the Gulf. It is consider
ed a trash fish rather than a
food fish, but when dried and
ground into meal it makes an ex
cellent food supplement for
swine, chickens and turkeys.
C.E. Peterson of the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service's stat
istics section said 52,950 tons of
menhaden fish meal were prod
uced in 1939. The amount has
increased every year since,
reaching 183,091 tons in 1954,
Unknown Food Factor
There usually is a shortage of
fish meal every year, Peterson
said, but it isn't because of the
faithful little menhaden which
appear in prolific numbers
annually.
The fault lies with the temp
eramental hering and sardines
on the west coast which some
times don't show up in great
numbers. For the last few years,
only sardine waste has been
converted to fish meal. Some
whole herring were used.
Last year, Peterson said, the
United States produced a total
of 257,000 tons of all types of
fish meal but had to import an
other 145,777 tons to meet
demands.
Peterson and D. Y. Aska,
chief of the fishery marketing
service, said the fish meal is
strictly a supplement. For chick
ens and turkeys it should be
about five to seven per cent of
the diet; for swine, three to five
per cent.
Peterson said nobody knows
what in the fish meal is so good
for pigs and poultry. "It's an
unidentified food factor," he
said. "Anyway a broiler, when
fed the supplement won't eat as
much food, but will get as big in
10 weeks as it will in 13 weeks
without fish meal.
