Sen. Pepper Says
Taft’s Prediction
Is “Inaccurate”
WASHINGTON, (>P> — Senator
Pepper (D.-Fla.> blun’ly told Sen
ator Taft (R.-Ohio) Saturday that
Taft’s prediction Congress will re
tain most of the Taft-Hartley la
bor act provisions is “inaccurate
and erroneous.”
Pepper said at a Senate labor
committee hearing that perhaps
Taft, GOP policy leader, “is for
getting that he no longer is run
ning the Senate.”
This was a reference to Demo
cratic majorities replacing Repub
licans in control of the 81st Con
gress.
Earlier Senator Elbert Thortias
(D.-Utah) also dispu'ed Taft’s pre
diction.
Thomas is sponsoring a bill sent
to Congress by the Truman ad
ministration. He also is chairman
of the committee which hopes to
complete hearings on the bill by
Feb. 10. Testimony is being taken
day and night in an effort to make
the deadline.

PARALLEL METHOD OF SKIING
Ruade Is Ultimate In Skiing
RUADE
%
*
%
Head and ski tips remain same distance apart during ruade.
(By Frits Loosli) <
Director of Ski Hawk School
Quebec City
The ruade (French for horse
kick) is the ultimate in skiing and
is an integral part of the reper
toire of the advanced skier. Al
though the ruade is used by many
skiers of different schools or tech
niques, it is often raisin' erpreted
and not properly performed.
Here are the main points which
characterize the ruade introduced
, by Emile Allais, founder of the
French Parallel system.
The ski tips remain in contact
with the snow at all times. The
raising of the back of the ski is
| not made with a forward lunge,
but by a sharp flexing of the
knees in a horse kick fashion. The
distance between the head and the
ski tips remains the same during
: the execution of the ruade.
The ruade, in a downhill tra
J verse run, must be started and fin
ished before the swing has passed
the fall line. The displacement of
the tail of the skis while they are
off the snow is done by the rota
j tion of the shoulders and not by a
side kick of the feet the body re
maining squarely on top of the
skis at all times. The deeper the
snow, the higher the back of the
skis must be lifted from the snow.
The ruade is rarely used at high
speed or on gentle slopes. Its main
»
purpose is to change direction
very rapidly on steep slopes or in
[ places where there is not room for
a swing. It is definitely the best
maneuver to run difficult flag for
mations in a slalom course. It also
is useful for negotiating bumps,
either in straight downhill or in
turns.
Foraging Elk Raid
Wasli’n Orchards
YAKIMA, Wash. (#*) — Yakima
Valley ranchers and sportsmen
! were engaged in a warm contro
versy today over the orchard in
vasions of raiding elk.
Valley sportsmen’s representa
tives have called on prosecutor
Ronald Hull to attempt to stop the
slaughter of the large game ani
mals. Unofficial estimates say that
1 more than 150 elk have been kill
ed by farmers.
The ranchers have indicated
they intend to kill all the animals
they find in their orchards.
H. M. Fruit, head enforcement
j officer for the state game com
mission said his investigators
have been “observers” since a big
drive got under way Friday, but
he did not indicate that any imme
1 diate arrests would be made.
