...call upon you to extricate this bewildered G.I. In reading your article (TIME, Aug. 21 ) relating to the New Guinea campaign, I was very impressed by the figures given of losses for combined Australian and U.S. forces. The amounts stated are 662 dead, 63 missing. Later, in a bull session with the boys, I trot out these said totals expecting complete surprise and amazement. The surprise was effected all right, to the extent that they doubted the figures enough to wager $25 that you are wrong. I took...
...Dunckel's force knew it. From the San José airfields, patrols could wing far over the South China Sea, harrying Jap shipping; Luzon could be softened for invasion and General MacArthur's return to Manila. Mindoro's fields would take the load off Admiral "Bull" Halsey's carrier airmen, who even then, acting as tactical air force for MacArthur, were smashing at the Japs' Philippine airdromes...
Bevin Explains. Attentively the conference listened to influential, bull-necked Ernest Bevin, Minister of Labor: "The steps which have been taken in Greece are not the decisions of Mr. Churchill. They are the decisions of the Cabinet.. .. Russia undertook the main problem in Rumania. We undertook the main problem in Greece. . . . The British Government cannot abandon its position in the Mediterranean." Disregarding 20 trade-union resolutions denouncing Churchill outright, the conference passed a new one backing the Prime Minister but neatly shifting from Labor shoulders any public odium the Government might incur...
...experimenters used bulls of superior milk-producing strains and a standardized technique to produce "artificial" calves. They found that a test group of 120 "artificial" cows produced 9% more milk and 14% more butterfat than their mothers, which were all above-average producers. Their average production-8,557 lbs. of milk in 305 days-was nearly twice the U.S. average per cow. Dr. John H. Beattie, technician in charge of Bartlett's group No. 1 at Clinton, N.J., has said that a single servicing from a bull, diluted with egg yolk and sodium phosphate, can be used to inseminate...
...Bartlett and his colleagues, these results forecast a germinal revolution in U.S. dairy farming. Most dairymen have fewer than 20 cows, cannot afford to keep or hire a superior bull. Dr. Bartlett believes that artificial insemination, with a few great bulls fathering most of the nation's calves, is economically inevitable (already nearly one-tenth of all New Jersey calves are so bred). One incidental bene fit, he observes, is that bulls, which almost invariably become vicious after their fourth or fifth year, will be largely eliminated as a menace to life & limb in the U.S. countryside...
