Teachers Condemn i
Loyalty Oaths
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., <£>)—
Loyalty o^ths for school teach
ers stand condemned by the AFL
Teachers Union on grounds of “in
dignity and personal injury.” The
American Federation of Teach
ers, in convention here denounced
such oaths in a resolution last
night.
Loyalty oaths, the resolution
said, “inflict indignity and per
sonal injury on the honest and
loyal teacher by implying he is
disloyal until he swears he is
loyal.”

Wildlife Service
Brightens Life
Of Moose Herd
CORDOVA, Alaska, {/P) — Six
bull moose of a transplanted herd
near here have a fighting chance
for a happier future. The U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service has
brought them one erf the nicest
presents a bunch of bull moose
ever received from a benificent
government.
It’s a lady moose.
For a year, the herd rollcall
has included six bulls and a
belle. It wasn’t considered a happy
situation from either the stand
point of the gentlemen moose or
the government agents. The lat
ter are interested in keeping a
“balance of nature’’ in Alaska.
Roughly speaking, that’s about
what the bull moose are interested
in, too.
The experts say lady moose
don’t believe in bigamy.
The new feminine addition to
the herd arrived in the best of
modern transport — an -airplane.
To keep her company on the
flight—and possibly to bolster her
courage for the experience—a bull [
moose was assigned to fly with j
her. j
The lady was willing. She i
walked right into the plane. It j
took four struggling men to push
the timid male in with her.
The plane landed safely with
the herd additions. Of course, it
means there is now another extra
male, which is sort of a hauling '
coals to Newcastle proposition,
but the percentage is better. Wild
life agent Holger Larsen predicts
the competition is going to be!
terrific.
I
A politician in making a speech
commented on the ease with
which it was possible to be mis
understood. On one occasion,:
when a small boy, he said he had I
been whipped for telling the ab
solute truth.
“Well, it cured you all right!”j
came the emphatic comment from
the back of the hall.

PHOENIX, Ariz.—A high, bald j
plateau in the Indian country of I
the southwest—lying astride the
juncture of four states—holds the
explosive seed of many atom
bombs of the future.
The area, covering some 200
miles in Arizona, Utah, Colorado
and New Mexico, is impregnated
with an estimated 80 per cent of
the nation’s known uranium de
posits.
It is already producing about
90 percent of the stategic mineral
in the ‘United States and may be
come the first major field tor bol
ster our defense effort.
The district is known popularly
as the Four Corners area and is al
most completely within limits of
the sprawling Navajo Indian res
ervation.
In the past it has been consid
ered a colorful arid wasteland, cut
by sharp defiles and treacherous
canyons, many of them never ex
plored by white men.
But today it holds the country’s
hopes for more and more of the
dangerous stuff that has helped
mold foreign policies and remake
the world’s alignment of power.
