Sauce for the Goose

The function of a sauce may be
either to accent or to soften flavor;
it may be used to enrich food, or
to moisten it; the sauce may be
sweet or savory; it may be hot or
cold. Whatever its purpose or clas-
sification, the sauce must be smooth
in flavor as well as smooth in con-
sistency. It should, in addition, Of
fer contrast in color, flavor, in tex
ture, or in temperature.
Sauces are ''sweet" or "savory,"
depending upon whether they are
used for desserts,
(& or are served

W. y tables, egg dishes
OK or macaroni.
French cooks,
to whom sauces are sacred, use two
basic recipes or "mother sauces"
from which all their savory sauces
are developed; no simple white
sauce or sauce merely thickened
with Drowned flour, for them!
To serve its purpose, sauce must

seasoning, and just the right con-
sistency.
Plain white sauce-the standby of

be used in dozens of different ways.

Of prepared mustard; or-and this

Rio De Janeiro, Dec. 6.--(UP)- The Brizilian government was re- ported ready today to lead cam paign among American nations to close all South American ports to British ships in reprisal for British warships boarding and searching of two Brazilion merchant vessels.

GOVT. PLANS TO
 PREVENT STRIKES
Edward L. McGrady Has Been Made Ace COncila-
 tor to End Trouble
BY JOHN A. REICHMAN

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Dec. 6.-(UP)-The administration today answered in- creasing congressional demands for anti-strike legislation with moves to promote closer labor-management relations and uninterrupted produc- tion in major defense industries, in- cluding aircraft plants.
 Following appointment of former Secretary of Labor Edward F. Mo- Grady, an ace conciliator, as special labor consultant to the war depart ment, officials disclosed that pro- gram designed to promote more sta- ble labor conditions in the aircraft industry is being formulated similar to that adopted yesterday for the shipbuilding industry.
 First Consideration
 These two industries have been chosen for first consideration, 1t was said, because of their recent rapid expansion. Many of the old CT and more established industries, such as steel, already have effec- tive labor relations and it may not be necessary to include them in the labor stabilization program, 1t was said.
 Administration advisers were said to feel that some drastic steps were necessary to ward off the possibility of enactment of legislation which might seriously curtail the rights of labor. The strike which tied up the Vultee Aircraft plant at Downey, Calif., for two weeks and delayed production of army planes brought several congressional demands to restrict union activities.
 The plan now being formulated for the aircraft industry is designed to prevent, through government col- Liberation, future strikes such as that at the Vultee plant. A special aircraft committee representing the government, industry and labor, would be set up to handle all labor difficulties.
 Mediation Body
 The shipbuilding group, which will function as a sort of labor medi- ation body, met yesterday in the office of Sndney Hillman, defense commissioner in charge of labor supply, and adopted policy urging that there should be no interrupt ion of production on the part of shipyard employers and of ship yard employees before all facilities at the disposal of the national de- fense advisory commission for ad- justing differences have been ex- hausted."
 The group includes representatives of the CIO, the AFL, the Marine Workers, Machionists, Gulf Coast Shipyards, Pacific Coast Shipyards, The North Atlantic, South Atlantic and Great Lakes Shipyards, The Maritime Commission and the Navy Department.

BRITISH ENVOY
 SEES MORCENTHAU
Sir Frederick Phillips Is COnferring With Secre=
 tary on Finances
BY ROBERT A. KNOWLTON United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, Dec. 6-OP)-Sir Frederick Phillips, undersecretary of the British treasury, and secretary of the treasurery Henry Morgenthau, Jr., begin a series of conferences to- day to explore Great Britain'S finan- cial situation.
 On the basis of these conferences, which may last several days, Presi- dent Roosevelt'S administration is expected to decide its course as to American loans to Britain.
 Phillips wouldn't say Wether he sought financial assistance but he did say Britain was never in better financial condition. Lord Lothian, the British ambassador said last week that some form of financial cooperation would be needed early next year if Britain is to continue the war.
 Morgenthau and secretary of Com merce and federal loan administrat- or Jesse H. Jones have declared Great Britain is a good credit risk. Isolationist Congressmen, notably Sen. Bennett c. Clark, D.. Mo, have differed sharply, recalling that Great Britain had paid nothing since 1893 on its world war debt to this country.
 Some Indications
 There were unofficial indications that the administration next year may ask Congress to authorize the sale to Britain, possibly through Canada, of munitions, ordnance and ships produced in government-own- ed arsenals and shipyards. Congress recently authorized such sales to Latin American countries, provided they do not interfere with the national defense program. Such a plan was being considered, 1t was said, in anticipation of vastly tn- creased production of munitions from the chain of munitions plants the government is setting up for op- eration by private interests.
 The Morgenthau-Phillips confer ence will explore the whole field of British financial needs and problems, with particular study of that coun- try's dollar requirements to main tain a steady flow of American war supplies.
 There was speculation that the administration may be considering the use of some of its $2,000,00O 900 stabilization fund to aid Britain f. nancially. That became possibility this week with departure from prev ious policy to make part of that fund available for the purchase Of Chinese and Argentine currency.
 The stabilizatioh fund, originally used in monetary agreement with France and Britain, has been virt- ually inactive since the start of the war. At no one time has more than $2OO, ,0O0, ,OO0 of it been in use.

New York, Dec. .(UP)-Four ships stricken in a storm over the north Atlantic had ben unreported for hours today and it was feared they may have gone to the bottom. A fifth apparently was Wallowing helplessly in the gale-swept sea.
 The Greek steamer Aghia Eirini, 4,330 tons, radioed at a. m. EST, that she was in ned of immediate assistance.

DESIGN WOULD
 INCREASE SPEED

Some engineers say prore po- sition would not make much differ ence to the pilots efficiency as flyer. He would be in position of an underwater swimmer able to see everything below and forward: And mirrors, properly placed, would give him vision above and rear.
 The present system Of foot con- Srol presents few difficulties. That problem would be little more than simplifying their operation and regearing their position in the cockpit.
 This prone position, if adopted, would automatically increase the current speed of all fighters and dive bombers. For the fuselage could be streamlined to an even greater degree than at present. The plane would, in fact, if it ever moved from the drafting board into production, resemble a stubby bird with just about the speed of 6 bullet. The wings would be wide and broad, the fuselage very round, the tail nearer the nose.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-06
SOLUTIONS ONLY MAKESHIFT

One is diet, the other mechanics. The R. A. F. pilots eat simple foods and never take to the air until one hour has elapsed after a heavy meal.
 The Luftwaffe adheres to this diet rule but goes @ step further. Every JU88 dive bomber has g. thin red line painted across the trans parent nose which indicates to the pilot the exact angle of the dive. At the correct angle the bomb IS released and the plane pulled from the dive. And if a JU88 pilot loses complete consciousness a mechanical arm helps to level the plane.
 Yet because the length of the blackout will increase with the speed of the plane, both these so- liltions are little more than make shift. A more fundamental answer is needed.
 And that answer may be sup plied before this war is concluded. British aeronautical engineers, hard at work over their wartime draft ing boards, are sketching several su- per-speed experimental planes in which the pilot lies flat on his stom- ach. That is the only position a man could bear with ease the strain of lightning turns and full-throttle dives at new speeds.
