OF Leningrad; VIII Ask All Consuls
To Leave: British Press lncensed

that defense works on a gigantic
scale are being planned for the
development Of the Soviet's prin-
cipal western naval base"
The Daily Herald's diplomatic
writer said "Leningrad, the second
city in Soviet Russia, is being
turned into a gigantic secret for
titled naval dockyard, arsenal and
base"
"No foreigners are allowed to
remain in the city where large
powerful navy corresponding to
Russia's might and interests, as
announced by Molotov to the So
Wet parliament, is to be built, "
the paper said.
"The far east, where the air
force and navy are being main
tanned on a warfront footing, and
the coastline facing Japan, are be-
ing strongly fortified with plane
and submarine bases and a new
military town is being built rap
idly.
"The conversion of Leningrad
into a naval center is the real rea-
son for the decision to have no
more foreign consulates there-a
decision against which the British
ambassador has been protesting.

Common Milkweed Named
for Juice in Its Stem

The Towering weeds known as
milkweeds are an interesting group
considering the place the plants
have in the herb doctors practice,
observes a writer in the Chicago
Tribune. The common milkweed
gets its name from the fact that a
milky solution flows from the stem
when it is broken. One of the
species butterfly weed or Pleurisy
root was used by the Indians for
medicine and food. They used the
root in the treatment Of pleurisy,
and the green fruit was used in the
cooking of buffalo meat, much as
green peppers are used by house
wives for seasoning.
The Indians also extracted a crude
sugar from the milkweed. The mar
row-leaved milkweed has a prac-
teal use in the southern states,
where the juice of the plant is ex-
tracted and used as a remedy for
snake and insect bites.
The milkweed provides a fiber
that is used in paper making and
the weaving of inexpensive cloths.
Several varieties Of oil have been
made from the seeds and the stem.
