Bay Killing Victim Near
Identification Today

Identification of the body
found floating in the Chesapeake
Bay, off Point Lookout, Md, six
weeks ago, is expected some
time today, according to States
Attorney John H. T. Briscoe, of
ct. Mary'S county.
It is believed the Identification
will be completed by Arnheim,
q custom tailor of New York.
The suit of clothes which cov-
cred the body when found was
customed by Arnheim, according
to labels on the coat. The cloth
ing was sent to Arnheim yes
Nterday.
Mind Open, Says BriScOe
The States attorney today said
that while he is holding his
mind "open" on the case, he is
virtually certain the man was
murdered and tossed into the
bay. He said an examination,
after the body was diSinterred
from the grave in the sand on
the beach made for it SIX weeks
ago, showed the neck was broken
and there was no water in the
lungs.
he said the 25-pound lead

weight which was tied about the
mans neck and shoulders when
a fisherman found the body float
ing off the shore, broke away
and was lost while the tody was
being towed to the shore. Briscoe
said he believes the weight would
have helped in the Identification.
Watch Of No Help
The watch and eyeglass case
on which the initials J. H. S."
were engraved have proved Of
little help. The dealer who sold
the watch in New York mas gone
into bankruptcy and his records
have been destroyed, while the
New York optician said he sold
eyeglasses to eight men with the
initials ~. H. S." and all Of
them have been found to be
alive.

MOVES
FOR RETR|A[

Abner Siegal, attorney, con-
victed last week of bribery, today
had on file in District Supreme
Court a motion for a new trial.
The motion contends that the
verdict was contrary to law and
the evidence, that the court erred
in not allowing a directed ver-
dict at the close Of the Govern
ment's case, and again after all
evidence had been presented.
Siegal was convicted Of giving
a guard at District Jail $3.50 for
the insertion of faxed records
into files of the Jail, showing
client of Siegal's, charged with
first degree murder in Pennsyl-
vania, was in Jail here at the time
the crime was committed.

WELFARE HEAD
TAKES HAND
IN CASE
Joseph Thompson, 55, Victim
Of Unusual Circumstances,
Is Sent to GaIIinger :.

Joseph Thompson, IS, dis
charged from Casualty Hospital
yesterday, is in need of further
hospital and medical care, accord
ing to George S. Wilson, director
Of the Bureau of Public Welfare.
Thompson was taken to the
Gallinger Hospital yesterday aft
ernoon after the Public Welfare
Department had been notified
that the nIan had been dismissed
from Casualty, although h claim
ed that he was unable to walk,
was broke and homeless.
Hip Has Not Healed
Preliminary examination, &C
cording to the reports received by
the Public Welfare Bureau, indi-
cate that the mans diSlocated hip
has not healed sufficiently to per-
nit him to work. An x-ray exami-
nation is to be made today.
Thompson, according to Mr..
Wilson, has been aided by the wei
fare bureau, on a number of occa-
sions. Consequently when in
formed of his predicament, an III
veStigation was unnecessary and
the ambulance was sent for him
at once.
Unusual Situation
The So daily allowance made
Casualty for care of charity pa
tients is the same granted other
hospitals performing that service,
according to Mr.. Wilson.
The entire occurrence is an un-
usual one, he said, as it rarely
happens that a patient is dis
charged prematurely.
Ordinarily, when a patient un-
able to care for himself is ready
for transfer, suitable arrange
ments are made to care for him.

Tin Can Tourists
Called ThrOLpbackS

The twentieth century tin can
tourist and hobo is nothing more
than a throwback to the old
Greek cynics, in the opinion Of
DR.. Edward E. Richardson, pro-
fessor Of philosophy at George
Washington University.
Diogenes exemplified the spirit
of unrest perhaps better than
any of the old school, as he lived
in a tub, carrying his home
around with him. While the
modern philosopher does not live
in a tub, the idea is much the
same, DR.. Richardson said.

PATMAN BACKS
POLICE GRILL
FOR CROOKS
Should Be Allowed Discretion,
Says Texan; Fears Capital
Will Get Name of Easy City

Washington must dissipate the
impression that it is an "easy
town. because the police are
now facing third degree charges
or it will become a haven for
all the crooks and racketeers that
infest Chicago, New York, De-
troit and Philadelphia, Repre-
sentative Wright Patman Cd,
of Texas, said today.
Grilling Held Necessary
Representative Patman, who is
a member of the House District
Committee, said the police should
be given discretion" in handling
crooks and wringing confessions
out of them. He said:
81 would give the Washing
ton policemen full exercise Of
discretion to deal with crooks
so long as he does not beat
them up. 1 see nothing wrong,
in fact it is necessary, to sub
ject these crooks to a long
grilling,
"YOu cannot handle this
type of men by giving them q
lighted cell, a soft pillow to
sit on, newspapers and detec-
tive magazines to read and
maybe a radio, and expect
them to come through with the
truth"
Crook Knows His Police
Representative Patman said his
experience taught him that the
crook knows when he is going up
against an easy or hard-boiled
policeman. He concluded with
the statement that: 49,.
''If a man has not discretion,
in Washington to carry a re-
vOIver, to make arrests, and to
grill suspects, he should be
fired from the force. If he
has such discretion, he should
be allowed to exercise it in
questioning these witnesses, to
the very limit, just so long as
he is not inhuman about it.

Save Cash by Using
Bread LeftOUerS

At the present time there is a
tremendous expense involved in
raising a family and taking care
of q home. Economy is quite
necessary, yet it must be prac-
ticed in the proper places.
There are times when economy
is dangerous, but at such times
it is usually unwisely practiced.
Ordinarily we cannot decrease
the amount Of food served, but
we can serve those foods that
give the greatest food value for
the money expended.
OF these foods bread is Of
great value, but it should not be
wasted as it is in many homes.
The leftover pieces have just as
much food value as the freshly
cut slices. They can be so at
tractively served that one would
never suspect that they were the
pieces that are usually thrown
away.
So, even though we must econ
omize, let us not cut down on
our bread supply, but instead let
us use it all, to the last slice.

HOW To COOK
ART|CHOKES

Artichokes are among the most
attractive green vegetables that
our market has to offer, but in
spite of this fact, they are not
as popular as they shuld be. Why
is this so?
1t is because the average house
wife does not know how to pre-
pare and serve them. If you
will read the following suggestion
you will soon feel well acquainted
with this delicious vegetable.
To prepare them soak the arti-
chokeS in water to cover for a
few moments in order to thor
oughly clean them. Cut the tiny
thorns from the tips of the leaves
and carefully work back the
leaves from the center of the
choke. Then loosen and remove
the choke, which is not desirable
to eat, fro mthe fleshy heart or
base of the vegetable.
To prevent the artichoke from
losing it's shape in cooking, tie a
string around it. Then the pretty,
leafy green vegetable is ready to
be cooked by Steaming or boiling
until tender. which can be deter
mined by testing the base of the
artichoke by piercing with a fork.
The time required to accomplish
this will vary with the size and
freshness of the vegetable.
But It will be best to allow
about 30 minutes.

CHEAPER MEATS
NOURISH|NG,
IS CLAIM
Difference in Cuts Lies In
Preparation and "CheW-
ability" Experts Aver

We sometimes hear home
maker bewail that she cannot
afford always to buy the most
expensive cuts of meat, beef par
ticularly coming into the category
Of the most bewailing.
The pity Of it is that there is
nothing to it, as far as the ques-
ton Of nutriment is concerned.
Cut for cut, the cheaper cuts of
beef and the most expensive cuts
Of beef contain the same nutri-
ment, the same amount Of beef
stamina, which every homemaker
hopes to inject into each mem
Der Of the family.
Cooking That Counts
The difference, Of course. in the
cuts Of meat is in the taste and
"chewability." One can more
easily and with infinitely greater
satisfaction chew a tenderloin
steak than q steak cut from a
more exterior portion of the ami
NAL, but the housewife who, for
economy's sake, wishes to pur-
chase the cheaper cuts of meat
can avoid much Of this objection
through cooking. In fact, the
cheaper cuts of beef may be
delicious if they are properly pre-
pared.
Here are a couple of economical
main dishes made with beef Of the
inexpensive variety, serving four
for about so cents and six for
about one dollar.
Curried Beef
Cut one pound of round steak
In inch squares. Fry one sliced
onion in four tablespoonfuls Of
drippings for a few minutes. Mix
one-fourth cup of flour, one tea
spoonful of salt, one and one-half
teaspoonfuls Of curry powder and
roll the meat in it; then add to
the fat and onions and cook until
the meat is well Drowned.
Add one cup of water, one No.
q can of tomatoes and boil few
minutes. Bake in a slow or $50
degree oven for one and one-half
hours, or till tender. Serves TOUR.
Mexican Beef Roll
Boil one-haf cup of rice, drain
and add one and one-half tea
spoonfuls of salt, one-half tea
spoonful of chilli powder, one tea
spoonful Of poultry seasoning,
one-eighth teaspoonful of paprika,
one finely minced green pepper.
Spread evenly over one and
one-half pounds of round steak,
cut very thin, and roll up like
thick jelly roll. Tie and skewer
firmly in place, dust with flour
and brown well on all sides in
some drippings in a skillet. Re
move to baking dish, pour one
No. 3 can of tomatoes, cover and
bake until tender in a slow oven,
$50 degrees, about one and one
half to two hours. Remove strings
and serve cut in slices, with the
tomatoes. Serves eight.

APPLE Roll

Make a recipe of baking pow
der biscuit dough in the usual
manner. Roll into an oblong
shape about one-third of an inch
in thickness. Spread with thin
apple slices, sprinkle with sugar
and cinnamon mixed together
and dot with bits of butter. Roll
like a jelly roll. Moisten outer
edge of dough so it will hold in
place. Cut in two-inch slices and
place, cut side down, on a
creased baking dish. If a muf-
fin pan is used the rounds will
hold their shape better.
