The Washington hearing on 81st Congress labor legislation pits Republicans against Democrats over hearings length and the balance between action and regulation. Senators Morse of Oregon and Ives of New York steer toward a compromise resembling the railway act with a fact finding board and limited injunction powers. The debate cites Taft Hartley precedents and echoes past emergency powers amid the Truman era.
Marquis Childs notes sweeping emergency powers sparked shock among railway labor chiefs. Taft argues the law bearing his name lets courts stop nationwide strikes, while Morse and Ives seek careful statutory limits. The coal strike stretched eight days past the injunction. John L. Lewis and United Mine Workers were fined. no jail time tested the injunction's ultimate reach. Taft cools on halting strikes by injunction but supports court power against unlawful actions. Morse and Ives push clearer limits with National Labor Relations Board oversight.

Washington Merry-Go-Round notes Dewey Short’s sharp rebuke of generals in a secret Armed Services Committee session over officer strength. He backs 3500 army and 7500 air corps officers, not 21,000, arguing for planes and men over rank while Vinson and Kilday split on the final increase.
A letter from an English friend notes beaver meat sales in London and seeks recipes. The tale recounts a family beaver dinner tradition tied to birthdays of notable figures, with a humorous guide on selecting young beavers and a mock old cookbook entry on “Beaver Under Bell.”
A curious vintage recipe describes fattening a beaver with various odd items and cooking it in a kettle oven. The instructions include sourcing a bell, fattening the animal for two weeks, larding the tail, and testing tenderness with a revolver or pitchfork, ending with an odd garnish using a pennant and a steel trap.
Melvin D. Smith of the U S Fish and Wildlife Service said the federal and state agencies are feeding duck flocks at four sites around Pocatello. Grain is scattered on a pond near the golf course and two springs north of town, with a light aircraft dropping five pound grain bags into the Ft Hall bogs. He noted most duck deaths were from hunting wounds and lead poisoning, not starvation. Local conservation officers supervise the program funded by state and federal emergency funds. Continued harsh winter conditions may trigger livestock losses in western states, as recalled by S G Sherman who compared the season to the 1911 12 blizzards in Colorado.
