by foreign Office officials and the

on the Gulf Of Riga and on the Bal

An agreement with Latvia similar
to the one Russia already has made
with Estonia would strengthen fur
ther the Soviet position in the
Baltic.
Unofficial reports from abroad
said Russia had shifted 20 divisions
of troops from the Estonian border
to the Latvian frontier, but there
was no confirmation of these rumorS
here.

A Soviet military and engineering

Announcement OF the Latvian
minister's visit was coupled with in

Presentation of this plan, in

accompanied by demands upon Ru-

after the World War.

for the quick decentralization of
Polish armies under the German
onslaught.
Others asserted they could not
understand why he did not join the
fighting forces around Warsaw or

legion in France.
In addition to the leaders, some
10000 Polish officers and men are
interned in Rumania. About 5000

When Nipponese gentleman de-
cides to destroy himself by the ma
tional form of honorable suicide, he
does not commit Harry Kerry.
Voluntary hara-kiri still survives
in Japan, although it is now more
commonly known as "seppuku"
(see-POO-koo).
1t is the refuge of men rendered
desperate by private misfortunes, or
as a protest against a national
policy.
There is no disgrace attached to
this form of self-immolation. In
deed, it is a formal and dignified
occasion. The suicide, clothed in
ceremonial dress, kneels on a mat,
and plunges dagger into his alb
domen, draws it slowly across to the
right, and gives it an upward cut.
1t is said that for hundreds of
years 1,500 hara-kiris have taken
place annually in Japan.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-John Barry more is getting away with murder in his new play-and breaking box office records doing it.
 My Dear Children" which open ed here in May, is no great shakes as dramatic literature. But it's a success because Barrymore knows how to make a profitable fool of himself by ipterjecting lines and making up situations. So, between Barrymore and the script, the play deyastates all the sacred cattle of stage tradition, becomes as irrever- ent as belch and twice as earthly. The audiences seem to love it.
 The script calls for Barrymore to cavort in Tyrolean get-up to pose as a chef, to masquerade as Hamlet, to spank Doris Dudley, one of his daughters in the play; to use his fists to rout a disageeable young man, and to tell an image of him. self as Hamlet to Ego to Hell"
 But much more is in the presen- tation than the authors intended. The ad libbing is as various as the wayward moods of the star
 During one performance, wh n John was deep in an especially lush romantic episode, part of the aud- fence burst into laughter He whip ped around and exclaimed: What are you laughing at?"
 He resumed his lines, carrying on until he had finished a passage: The blood of youth runs through my veins Facing the now sober crowd, he baited. That's where you should have laughed"
 Only half seriously disturbed by | the proximity of fire house to the 1 theatre, the actor interrupted an- other love scene to share his feelings with his listeners thus: There goes that damned fire engine again" On a hot August night trouble seemed to stalk every movement of the cast.

 Barrymore turned a rueful face to an audience which was lamented: : This is getting to be madhouse." 1" What might have been wretched performance was changed into a swell romp.

 If ycu are thinking about Thanks giving, you are, naturally, thinking about turkeys.
 The size of the bird will depend lpcn the number to be served, whether seconds are in order and new the fmily reacts to leftoyerS.
 A pound per person is a gener- gus serving. This year, probably one can afford to be generous for urkevs are comparatively moder- ate-priced.
 In proportion to it's size the hen turkey has more meat and less bone than the tom turkey The 10 pound turkey is about the average buy When preparing for a large crowd some cocks prefer two To- pounders to one very large turkey. Of course this is determined by the cooking facilities.
 Here are the four stages through which a turkey passes:
 l. THE CHOICE: Select a tur- key that is plump. has the fat ev- enly distributed under clear, firm. yellcw skin, has few blemishes or pin feathers. The breast bone should be straight and pliable at the end Most turkeys are sold by dressed weight, picked but not drawn and with the feet and head on. The butcher will usually cut off the feet and head and clean the fowl The giblets are placed inside the cavity Drawn weight is about one-fifth lesy than dressed weight.
 2. THE PREPARATION: Remove all pinfeathers and singe off any hairs by holding the fowl over a low flame. Make sure that all the entrals have been removed. Thor oughly scrub both the inside and outside Of the turkey Rinse by let ting cold water run through Wipe very dry both inside and out. Sprin- kle inside with salt, then stuff.
 Wash the giblets and see that there are no green spots on the liver as they would give a very bitter taste tc the gravy. Simmer the gib- lets in salted water until tender, probably 11a hours. The chopped giblets and the giplet stock are ready for the gravy Remember that to many people giblet gravy is to tur- key what cheese is to apple pie.
 3. THE SHUTTING: A generous cupful per pound of turkey is the average amount of stuffing required. So make up the old family favorite or introduce some new stuffing like prune nut, wild rice or mushroom. Better make up some extra and bake 1t 30 minutes in a casserole. There always is a call for more stuffing!"
 Lightly fill the cavities with the stuffing. Never pack it in, for when cooked it will be soggy and heavy. Sew the cuts with thread or skewer in place Press the wings over the back and the legs close to the body Fasten with skewers or a cord. This

SURVEY GREW 9A3
 RETURNS FROM RENAL LAB0RS
Wonderful Trout Fishing of Kendi River Desuib-
 ed by Floyd Betfs

Finest rainbow trout fishing in Alaska, or the whole United States for that matter, is to be found in the Renal River, in the opinion of Cadastral Engineer Floyd c. Betts who returned to Juneau this week after summer of sectioniz- ing work for the Public Survey Off, flee on the Kenai Peninsula.
 Betts said fish from 28 to 34 inches long were the common run in the river. And they're fighting trout too, breaking many a fine fly rod in the hands of members of the survey crew. It takes an hour to land a Kenai rainbow with a five-ounce rod if all goes well, Betts says.
 The party's work included sec tionizing of 80,000 acres along both sides of the Kenai River as far upstream as Skilak Lake. There is an abundance of good agricultural land in the region, Betts said.
 After the 20-man crew finished on the Kenai in October, isolated homesite work along the rail belt was performed and homestead surveyed on Peak Island in Prince of Wales Sound, reached by air plane.
 Moose appeared to be plentiful in the Kenai, BettS said.
