Meat packers in u» United Stales/produce more than 20 sillion pounds of meat annually. From five million farms and ranches in every state the meat packers purchase 127'million cattle, :alves, hogs and sheep to make iato iteaks, roasts, stews, sausage items and. canned meat, awell as utiliz ing fey-products for many pharma ceutical and manufacturing items Senator Butler Makes 7 rip to Alaska Timber I On the eve of his departing on in inspection trip to Alaska Sen. itor Butler (R.-Nebr.) declared to- 1 lay that he intended to check /ery closely into the progress be ng made in the development just started of Alaskan timber resourc. ;s for newsprint, and hasten the ; ievelopment in any way possible. Senator Butler was Senate author of the legislation recently enacted which authorized the gov ernment to sell or lease these forest resources for pulp develop ment in Tongass Nation Forest, which makes up a large part , of the suotheastem panhandle of Alaska and contains millions of acres of virgin timber. Heretofore it has never been developed be cause of conflicting title claims of native Indian tribes. Public Law 385, which was pushed through Congress in the closing minutes of the last day of the Congression.. al session, clears the title conflict and provides assurance to private companiess that any investment they may make will not be en. dangered by any threats to titles of lands they may purchase or lease from the government. "Alaska forests are capable of supplying one quarter of our en tire need for newsprint in perpet uity if managed on a sustained yield basis.” Senator Butler said, "Three companies are already on the point of establishing plants there as a result of the legislation recently passed. Considering our extreme need for additional sourc es of newsprint, this Alaskan de velopment is one of the most hope ful signs on the horiaon.” The Senator pointed out that the newsprint shortage had had a particularly serious effect on the smaller newspapers throughout the country. In many cases, he said, the shortage had put news papers out of business, or forced them to secure their newsprint supplies on the "grey” market at exorbitant prices.

It is less jvell known as a generator of untold i economic benefits for workers in : a variety of fields. Taken in its larger unit, the bar : rel, beer pays $8 in excise taxes 1 to the Federal treasury and an ad ditional tax, varying in amounts, to the state governments. Barley is the chief ingredeint and for this the brewer pays far mers a premium to obtain the special type best suited to the re quire me nts of beer and ale. Corn or broken rice is also used as ad junct and, of course, hops for flavoring and aroma. And yeast for fermentation. When the brew ing process is completed, the sesi dual grains go back to the farms as high-protein cattle feed. Soma of the processed yeast is sold as diet supplements being the richest known source of vitamins of the B complex. Participating in producing thd materials, supplies and services needed produce the beer are workmen engaged in malting, manufacturing barrels, bottles, cans, brewing equipment and machinery, labels, trucks, those who engage in transportation and nearly 100 other allied industries that have a share in the produc tion of a barrel of beer. That can be translated into considerable era ployment. Beer, the beverage of modera tion enjoyed by millions of Aeri cans, is a product that typifies the interdependence of industries in our econemy. What aids brewing, benefits many other industries. _ _ .

CHICAGO — Gang-buster chief J. Edgar Hoover says in October Ebony that “No distinction ia made with aegard to race in sel ection of employes ’ for his Fed. eral Department of Investigation, and insists that he has found numerous Negro sleuths invaki able in cracking some of his toughest cases. Negro Sam Noisette, Hoover's personal aide and receptionist at the Washington, D. C„ offices of the, department head, is said by Ebony to be known as Hoover’* “right hand man” by the 7,800 em ployees there. Noisette. whose own assistant Worthington Smith ia also a Negro, is well-known ia the Capital as an artist and credits Hoover’s personal interest and concern with his career as a big factor in his rise. “Negro special Agents cannot be publicly identified,'’ Ebony says,“because they operate se retly in highly confidential work. But as special dispensation in the light of recent charges of depart, mental job prejudice, the monthly was allowed to picture one of Hoover’s crack Negro agents, James E. Amos of the New York office. . Amos, who is in charge of more than 1.000 different types o£ guns , at the Manhattan braijch of the .FBI and instructor in firearms I there, has been with the depart ment 26 years. Formerly a body guard to Teddy Roosevelt and a gumshoe for the William Bums Agency, Amos helped land the catch of spies netted in the 1941 round-up of Nazi Frederick Du quesne’ s agents. Only one out of every 100 ap plicants for agent’s job makes the grade, Ebony claims, and all pros pects must hold a law or account ing degree.
