 An official DINE news agency rc- port described . destructive attack by Nazi stuka bombers upon 16 Riis- sian military transport trains, packed with troops, trucks and war materials which were bonibarded as they waited on open tracks to move lip toward the front.
 The Stuka attack oil the troop trains was the high spot on tile DNB reports oil the fighting front which emphasized that Russian troops are stubbornly conteStirg the forward thrusts of Nazi panzer units.
 Predictions that the high come mand would reveal unbelievable successes" in the great offensive were not born out. The official cofn- munique was issued almost two hours late today and when 1t ap- peared, was confined to c laconic statement that frontier battles had gone in favor of the German army and that operative successes on 6 great scale" are to be expected.

Swiss Steak
 A Rare Treat

How does Swiss Steak sound for tonlghts dinner? can taste 1t right now, served in its delicious gravy, with & big baked potato and cou- pie Of halves of broiled tomato.
 What To Buy For Swiss Steak: I be- lieve everyone knows that the best cut of meat for 6 Swiss Steak is round" but just which section of the round to buy Is another matter.
 As the whole round lies on the butchers cutting block the outside of the leg is down and the inside is uppermost. The uppermost part, commonly called top round" is the tendereSt part and may, in Branded, high grade beef, be hroiled as 8 reg ular steak. The bottom round or that half which lies nearest the cutting block is less tender and must always be praised. Swiss Steak is 6 praised steak. Ordinarily the bottom round sells for less per pound than top round, and since 1t has just the same food value, 1t Is the most economical purchase. For real quality along with economy, ask for Branded Beef. It is sure to be top quality.
 Have the meat cut at least 1 Ia inches thick for Swiss Steak. Two inch cuts are even better. Before 1t Is cooked 1t Is literally pounded full of flolir--using a good Ia cup in all. As the steak cooks in water later the flour forms the thickening In the gravy.

success, both of Swiss Steak and Pot Roast. If you hurry 1t, 1t will not only burn, but the color will not be even throughout the steak.
 The liquid in which Swiss Steak Is simmered after the Initial brown ing may be almost anything you like, water, tomato soup or juice, vege- table soup, cream of mushroom soup or straight evaporated milk. A true Swiss Steak is covered with onion slices, and Is simmered done in wa ter, but you'll like any of the varia- tons suggested.
 A Russian steak also uses onions for seasoning along with tomato puree of juice, 0 clove and bay leaf. The tomato gravy which forms is particularly delicious on baked potato, broiled spaghetti or noodles. Make 1t from the same cut of beef as Swiss Steak.
 The simmering of a Swiss Steak Is of the utmost importance. It must be done slowly and over a long enough period of time to thoroughly sften the meat and connective fi- perS, IT the ltQulu IS unOWSu " HCV- ually boil the meat will become dry and tasteless. ono way to prevent too rapid cooking is to finish the steak In e low 300 degrees F. oven.

Sea Food
 Great Start For Any Meal

The start of any meal can make or break 1t. That Is why the smart Lady of the Kitchen spends as much time deciding on the opening course of a meal as in selecting the main dish.
 Fish and shellfsh offer . world of variety for this important first course. A cocktail of shrimp, oysters, clans, crab meat, flaked fish or lobster meat Is a zestful start which whets the appetite for what Is to come.
 A small portion of fish has come to be 8 standard item right before the main course in fine dinners There are 160 different kinds of edi- ble fish to choose from, according to The Fishery Council, so 1t should never be a problem to vary the dish.
 When used HS starter, about 1-3 of a pound of fish should be pro- vided for each portion. When fAsh is used as a main dish, l-2 pound should be allowed for each person.
 If soup Is desired to begin the meal, clam chowder in either the Manhattan or New England form is an ideal choice. There are many other fish chowders to choose from including bisques.
 Recipes for many of these dishes can be found in the Fish and She'll fish Cook Book which can be ob- tained free from The Fishery Coun- ell, 204 Water Street, New York, N. l., by enclosing return postage.

WOMEN ARRESTED IN DEMONSTRATION
Strikes at Kolodny Plants End in Arrests; w. Hart-
 ford Incident Perplexes

Hartford, Conn.,, April 26-(UP)---- Eleven women were under arrest on breach of peace charges at New Britain and Hartford today follow ing strike demonstrations at two plants of the Kolodny and Myers Dress company.
 Seven women were arrested at Hartford, and four others at New Britain.
 Meantime, a vote at the Standard Steel Division of Marlin Rockwell Corp, at Plainville showed @ per- centage of 94.8 in favor of the United Automobile Workers local union.
 A resumption of negotiations with the management for revision of piece work rates will take place May 8.
 A strike of 300 workers at the Hanson whitney Machine O., went into its llth day. While 1,700 employees of the Corbin screw divi- sion of the American Hardware Corp. at New Britain, failed to re- port for work for the fourth day.
 The Hanson Whitney strike pro- duced an unusual controversy. The West Hartford draft board, which had deferred Donald Olson, one of the strikers, because of his national defense employment, revoked the deferment when he went on strike. The board claimed ne no longer was employed.
 The United Electrical. Radio and Machine Workers of America Union sent telegrams to President Roose- welt and selective service officials, denouncing the deferment revoca- ton, and demanding that Olson be reinstated in the deferred class.
 State Selective Service Director Ernest L. Averill said he "did not subscribe" to the draft boards ac- tion, and asked board members at a conference to reconsider its ac- ton. The board, however, stood by It's action.
