MADE

Doak Says Several Held as
Racketeers Admit Return
Fraud Charges.

BY the Associated Press
Secretary Of Labor Doak announced
today that confessions had been OBJ
tanned from several of the men held In
New York On charges In connection
with alien return permit frauds.
The arrest Of seven alleged racketeers
and three immigration and Natural
ization Bureau employees was announced
yesterday by the Secretary.
Doak did not name any of the men
who had confessed, but said several
confessions had been made and copies
sent to him. Some of the men held,
he said, were reputed to be wealthy.
The breaking up Of New York ring
that was reported to have brought
100 900 aliens into this country illegally
in the past 10 years has been an

arrests.
Ten Men Arrested.
Those arrested were Edward Burns
and Albert F. Borreln, naturalization
clerks at Ellis Island; Simon Rothberg,
immigration clerk; Robert Bader, Spiro
Dracopoulas and John Salitario, private
bankers and steamship agents; B. Pag-
gioli, private banker: Joseph Sousa,
tailor and steamship agent, and Gus
Schieman and Anthony Allocca, real
estate operators
While all the ramihcations of the
ring have not been traced, Secretary
Doak said the arrests we're believed to
have broken UP one Of the biggest rings
Of racketeers In the country.
The existence Of fraudulent return
permits-those supposed to be issued
only to aliens legally in the United
States and wishing to leave and return
WAS disclosed few months ago, when
number Of men were epprehended In
New York on charges Of Matchmaking
aliens illegally living here. They were
accused Of threatening the aliens With
deportation unless they paid biackmail
and used forged deportation warrants
Is threat.
Permits Cost Up to s1,e50.
Some aliens produced permits that
later were found to be fraudulent, and
inquiry into this revealed the permit
racket. The permits were sold ct prices
ranging from 500 TO 81 $50, Doak said.

With this charming fashion fore

AS in cooking other roast meats, the
use of a thermometer when roasting
fresh ham removes the guesswork.
This is particularly important in the
case of pork, which should always
be served welldone. Thorough cook
ing is necessary, because pork some
times contains the trichina parasite,
which, if not destroyed, may cause ILL
ness. Since this organism is killed
when heated to 1877 degrees Fahren-
heit, there is ample margin Of safety
when pork is cooked to the well-done
stage, 1872 degrees Fahrenheit.
The following directions for cook
ing fresh ham are given by the bu-
reau Of home economics Of the United
States Department OF Agriculture:
Wipe the ham with damp cloth
and leave the rind on. The ham will
cook more quickly and shrink less
when the rind is not removed. Sprin-
kle the surface of the meat with salt
and pepper and rub with flour. Place
the ham, rind side up, on rack in an
open roasting pan, without water.
Make a small incision through the
rind with sharp knife or steel skew
er, cut short gashes around it with
scissors, and insert roast-meat Their
mometer through the opening SO that
it's bulb reaches the center of the
feshiest portion of the ham.
Place the pan containing the ham
in hot oven (480 degrees Fahren-
heit) and scar for about 20 minutes.

you know, too, that our pictures
are all over the world, and as they
call us such fine names we surely,
surely, must live up to them"
Eyes, indeed" said the two-year-o old
eagle, "but can't we have an extra
piece. of leftover birthday cake first,
before we start off on our lessons in
how to be so very strong?"
We'll have the birthday cake right
away and eat it as we co." said Edgar
Eagle.
So off went young Edgar Eagle and
the two-year-old eagle, and they had
many flying adventures.
Edgar taught him splendid lessons
about flying and it certainly was fne
for the young eagle to have such a
superior and wise eagle teacher.
Just think, he was being so friendly
and he was a whole year older and
was really full-grown eagle.

When housewife cooks rib roast
OF beef or leg Of lamb she must con-
slider how much loss there is likely to
be from shrinkage. Naturally she
wants the meat to go as far" as pos
sible. Dietitians in schools, hospitals,
and other institutions have the same
problem on larger scale; they must
be able to estimate both the number
of servings and also the nutritive val
ne of each serving. Shrinkage of meat
during cooking means dollars and
cents loss to the manager Of res

Then reduce the oven temperature
rapidly to very moderate heat 600
degrees to 1926 degrees) and continue
the cooking at this temperature until
the roast meat thermometer in the
ham registers 1872 degrees. Between
IS and 80 minutes per pound will
probably be required when these oven
temperatures are used. Do not add
water and do not cover the meat dur
ing the roasting.
When the ham is done remove 1t
from the oven and carefully take of
the rind. To remove the rind easily
break through it on the fieshy side at
the hook, then turn the ham over and
lift the rind off in one piece. With a
sharp knife score the fat covering in
squares. Stick long-stemmed cloves
into the intersections and sprinkle
brown sugar over the fat surface. Re
turn to moderately hot oven (375
degrees Fahrenheit) to brown over
the top. Serve hot or cold.
