DEPT. OF JUSTICE
CLEARS BYOIR ON
PATMAN CHARGE

Washington, d. c. (ILNS). - Carl
Byoir, leading New York public rela-
tions council and colonel in the United
State Army Reserve, was today given
100 per cent clearance by the f. B. l.,
which investigated charges made
against him by Congressman Wright
Patman of Texas. Byoir's vindica-
ton was announced by the United
States Department of Justice.
Patman attacked Byoir in the course
of his efforts to advance the cause of
his chain store tax bill, concededly a
proposal for confscatory taxation.
Byoir had opposed the Patman meas
ure vigorously and effectively.
The Department of Justice state
ment said:
"The investigation made by the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation concern
ing allegations against Carl Byoir dis
closes no evidence whatsoever that he
has been engaged in any un-American
activity. No basis for departmental
action has been found, and the case
is regarded as closed"
Commenting on the F. B. |. report,
Carl Byoir said:
NATURALLY, / am most happy that
the Department of Justice has let the
public know that the F. B. |. investi-
cation completely refutes charges of
un-American activities made against

Farm Unemployment Increase,
Lower Agricultural Incomes,
Seen As Result OF Changes
Forecast Displacement 900 Farm Workers by Mech
anzation, Further Increases in Tenancy and Lower
Incomes-Predict 3OR Increase in Tractors.

The study recommended remedial
measures designed to spread the
benefits" or to cushion undesirable
effects" of the expected developments.
Helpful Steps Outlined
They included a broad rural con-
servation works program for dis
placed farm workers and underpriv-
ileged rural families; expansion of
present farm purchase and rehabili-
tation loan programs, strengthened"
crop production and marketing con-
troll programs, extension of the stamp
program for distributing farm sur
pluses among needy families, further
scaling of A. A. A. payments in favor
of small producers, reduced interest
rates, and settling of non-owner farm
families on good lands now owned and
operated in larger than family sized
units.
Big Tractor Increase Seen
Some of the chronological develop
ments foreseen for the decade of
1940-50 included:
An increase of 80 per cent, or 500,-
900, farm tractors, displacing an ad-
ditional 100000 to 100000 head of
workstock and releasing 100000 to
100000 acres of crop land for COM
mercial crop production and an addi-
tional 100000 acres of hay and pas
ture land.
Further development of new ma
chines-a possibility that such ma
chimes as the cotton picker, sugar
beet litter and topper, sugar-cane har-
vester, corn harvester-shellers, will
come into limited use.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Tech
biological developments threaten grave
trouble for American farming in the
next ten years, the Department of
Agriculture predicted in a study of
current and prospective improvements
in machinery and power facilities,
crop production, conservation, new
uses Of farm products and new devel-
opments in processing, transportation
and storage.
Forecasting that chronological
changes will raise "serious" prob
lens, the department said these prob
lens will include displacement of
100000 farm workers by mechanical
ton, further increases in tenancy and
lower incomes for many farmers.
Neurological developments could
be expected to bring about sharp
increase in farm production without
corresponding increase in labor and
land requirements, the department
declared.
Other Evils Predicted
Other economic and social effects
foreseen by the department included:
Declines in prices of products in
fluenced by such developments, fur
ther piling up of excess population
in areas of low agricultural produc-
tivity, improvement in quality of farm
products and in their processing and
distribution.
''The effects of these changes"
the department said, "will fall
with particularly cruel force upon
the lower income and already dis
advantaged groups"

Experiences of World War Used as Guide i'm Laying Plans
to Continue Present Setup-Adyocate Use of Shifts
to Produce Maximum Efficiency of Machine

| Washington, ID. C. (ILNS) Presi-
dent Roosevelt is standing firmly
against proposals to lengthen the
work week in defense industries, bas-
ing his stand on experience during
the World War when shortening of
hours resulted in increasing produc-
ton. He holds that maximum pro-
duction and efficiency depend on stand
ards similar to those fixed under the
Fair Labor Standards Act.
At press conference, the President
cited letter from Colonel Philip B.
Fleming, wage-hour administrator, in
support of his position. The letter de-
scribed the experience of the British
Munitions Commission and the United
State Army Chief of Ordnance in the
World War.
Speaking "as soldier" and declar-
ing that "the nations defense is my
primary interest" Col. Fleming told
the President:
"Were there any defense need in
certain industries for abrogation of
the time and one-half rule, nothing
could keep me from so reporting. In
my contacts with industry no such
need has yet been demonstrated to
me-"
Only Three Complaints
| The letter, which was read by the
President at his press conference,
drew sharp distinction between "the
ceiling for hours" prescribed by the
Labor Standards Act for American
industry and the forty-hour week
which was in effect in France from
1886 to 1888 and has been blamed by
some for that country's lack of pre-
paredness for war.
The President especially empha-
sized the final paragraph of Colonel
Fleming's letter as follows:
"Any complaints from the key de-
Tense industries that the payment of
time and half for overtime is max
ing difficult their operation will be
promptly brought to your attention
To date the Wage and Hour Division
has received but three such COM
plants, all from small establish
ments."
Hours Cut Aided Output
Colonel Fleming's letter declared:
''Two documents from the last war
should be called to public attention:
"One is the wartime report of the
British Munitions Commission. The
report stated that from experiments
! spread over thirteen and a half
months reduction of working hours
of munitions workers was associated
with an increase of production. For
example, in one factory hours of work
were changed, first from 66-hour
week to a 55-hour week, and then to
a 45h hour week.
considering the weekly output OF
! the 66-hour week as 100, it was found
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-07-26

that the 55-hour week yielded rela-
tive output of Ill. The As u hour
week yielded relative output of 100.
Thus the 45 u hour week yielded more
in products than the 66-hour week and
practically as much as the 55-hour
week. The same results were obtained
during the thirteen-month period in
various other munitions factories.
Army General Order Quoted
"The other document is general or
der No. 13 issued by the Chief of Ord
nance, United States Army, on No
vember Is, 1917, seven months after
the declaration of war, when the
United States was at the height of its
procurement effort. The order stated:
"'In view of the urgent necessity
for a prompt increase in the volume
of production of practically every
article required for the conduct of
the war, vigilance is demanded of
all those in any way associated with
industry lest the safeguards with
which the people of this country have
sought to protect labor should be un-
wisely and unnecessarily broken down.
Maximum Production
"It is fair assumption that for
the most part these safeguards are
the mechanisms of efficiency. Indus
trial history proves that reasonable
hours, fair working conditions and a
proper wage scale are essential to
high production
"These documents were drafted al
most generation ago. The produc-
tion-line technique of industry have
been greatly developed since then.
Today maximum production calls for
maximum efficiency of the machine.
Maximum efficiency of the machine is
usually obtained by using relays of
workers in shifts short enough to
make constantly intense effort pos
sible."

Halibut A Health Dish
Hou to Cook tt

In recent years, the halibut has gained great prominence due to the scientific discovery that the liver oil of this fish is so high in vitamin A and D content. In fact this oil has almost supplanted cod liver oil as the ideal way to build up the body'S resistance.
 While the liver oil of the halibut has been in great demand, few have realized that the halibut itself is a delicious fish to eat. And that the entire body of the halibut contains a high vitamin A and D. content. Those "in the know" rank halibut in the first flight of palate-pleasers
 The halibut is the largest mem- Der of the founder family and av- erages well over 200 pounds. In the New York and Philadelphia markets a halibut over 300 pounds is termed a whale" while one un- der 20 pounds is a chicken" the Fishery Council tells us.
 Although the halibut is usually a little higher in cost per pound than smaller fish, it has the economic advantage of having very little waste material Thus the smart housewife realizes that she is get- ting more food per pound from the halibut and it is really costing her less.
 Following is popular method of preparing halihut. The recipe is from the Practical Fish Cookery" book of the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service and is for four to six por- tions:
 BrOiling
 This popular method of cooking may be used for many kinds of sea- food. The method of seasoning is superior to older practices.
 2 lbs filletS or steaks about 5-8 inch thick or 3 lbs. whole fish spli to about 5-8 inch thick. Blasting of IA cup melted butter or cooking oil with IA teaspoon pepper; other seasoning may be added if desired. Salt solution made in the propor- tion of 2 tablespoons salt dissolved in 1 cup cold water. Preheat the broiling oven for 10 minutes.
 Dip the fish (not cut to serving pieces) into the salt solution and allow to stand about minutes. Very thin fish should stand one minute and very thick fish should stand 5 to minutes. Oil the heat ed broiler pan. Brush the fish with oil and place it on the pan about 2

from the family table. It will be better for the entire family to have plain, well-cooked food which the child can enjoy with them. Highly seasoned, fancy and rich foods are not good for anyone. Moreover, it will save time in preparing the meals if everyone eats the same things, and the child will eat bet ter if he sees that his food in the same as the family's.
 Tea, coffee, pickles, relishes and highly seasoned foods are not suit able for a child. If a child is never given tastes of food that he should not have, he will have no desire for them. When the family has something to eat which the child should not have, it should be ex- plamed to him that it is 8 food for grown-ups and when he is grown-up he too may have it.
 The very best diet for adults and for children is built from the fol- lowing daily schedule:
 pint of milk (adults): quart (children).
 ? servings of vegetable besides potato.
 1 serving raw fruit.
 1 other serving of fruit (either cooked or raw).
 egg
 1 serving meat
 1 serving whole grain cereal or bread with butter.
 Liberal amounts of water
 Cod liver oil for children Gas ad- vised by the doctor).
 In following such an outline for the family, remember that childs food habits are influenced by his elders. Expressions of liking or dis liking of food are remembered by the child and are copied by the child. who hears what you say Therefore set good example at the table by eating some of everything you expect the child to eat. If there are some foods that child eats with less liking than others, serve these to him first when he is very hungary. Of course no comment about this procedure is made or the effect is cancelled. Interest the child in going marketing with you and let him carry package home and help with the cooking. A child under three can be taught to sheD hard-cooked eggs, shell peas, skin fleets and break beans. Feeding the family can be reduced to a very workable plan by diligence, wise psy- chology and planning.

Ease of preparation is another valuable feature in summer meals Main dishes which can be cooked in larger quantities and which will serve as a base of supply for several meals are a great help. A whole baked ham is the right answer to the problem in many cases. The flavor of the smoked ham will stimulate even tagging appetite, whether the meat is serv- ed hot or cold.
 Bake a whole ham and serve it, garnished with fruit for one meal, and have it on hand for sandwich | filings or to serve cold, sliced, with potato salad. Then cut up the rem- nants in cubes and serve it in the tempting jellied salad here pictur- ed. There you have plan for deli- cious and easy main dishes for several days.
 Baked Ham
 Place ham on rack in an open roasting pan. If you have a meat thermometer, insert it so that the bulb reaches the center of the larg- est muscle but does not rest on bone or fat. Do not cover or add water. Place in slow oven (300 degrees F). The thermometer will rgister an internal temperature of 17O de- grees F. when the ham is done. A. low about twenty-five minutes to the pound for roasting ham. With the hams now on the mar ket which require 8 shorter cooking time, follow the directions on the package.
 If there is rind on the ham, remove it about forty-five minutes before the ham is done. It can be easily taken off then. Score it dia- gonally to form diamonds. Return it to the oven to finish cooking. Be- fore serving, outline diamonds with thin slivers of maraschino cherries. Decorate with pineapple slice and cherries.

Grape Fruit
 |Custard For The Children
BY MARY HOPE HARRIS


 Nothing better for little folks than plenty of vitamin- filled grape juice, for grapes are an excellent source of all three-vitamins A, B and c; they are also mildly laxa- tive, and, unlike some of the other things that are so good for US children need never be coaxed to eat them. They are well-beloved by all. Of course we do not give grapes that contain seeds to very small children.
 Another reason why grape juice is in constant demand. It is deli cious as 8 cooled beverage, with or without the addition of lemon juice or some other fruit juice, but seldom do we see grape juice made into cooked recipes. Here is one pudding that is as beautiful as it is tasty-an ideal dessert for lunch con or dinner at the children's $ table. ,- Grape Juice Custard
 cup grape juice
 4 cup sugar
 2 egg yolks
 2 tablespoons flour
 Beat the yolks of eggs and the sugar together, add the grape juice, mix well and cook in a doube boil- CT, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened. Pour into sherbet glasses and set in the refrigerator to cool. Serve in the chilled glasses with a whipped cream rosette on top and garnish of chopped nuts or spot of strawberry preserve. You may use this same general recipe as filling for grape custard pie, but for thsi you will need three egg yolks. Use the egg whites, sweetened and whipped until they

inches below the heat. If skin is on fish, the skin should be on top. At the end of 5 minutes, the skin should begin to bubble and turn brown. Continue cooking until the skin surface is covered with very dark brown bubbles. Turn just once, baste several times and coke until a nice brown. Do not overcook. Steaks or skinned fillets should be- gin to brown and cook in about the same time. This will take from 6 to 12 minutes depending upon the thickness of the fish. The skin of many fish gives an added richness of flavor.
