Give Mother
 A Day Off This Sunday

Mothers on the job 365 days a year for three meals day as well as mid-afternoon pickups, picnic lunches, bedtime snacks. and party refreshments now and then. Figure that out If you can and then plan to give her time out on Mothers Day, which falls on May 11th this year.
 You can pay special tribute to Mother by asking some of her friends in for supper. Don't att tempt anything too elaborate. A tray of sandwiches, bowl of salad, a refrigerator dessert, and plenty of coffee make a meal fit for a queen. It's a good idea to serve decaf- feinated coffee, so that guests can finger over "reminiscences without later worry about sleeping prob lems.
 If the day is cool, you can serve your beverage hot, but glasses of iced coffee are more refreshing if the weather Is warm. Make the sandwiches ahead of time, wrapping them in waxed paper and keeping them in the refrigerator. The salad too, is beforehand job, and 50, of course, is the refrigerator cake. Last minute preparations mean only as- sembling the salad, making the de- caffeinated coffee, whipping cream, and getting sandwiches and dessert from the refrigerator.
 SpYCEn COFFEE
 6 cups double strength decaf-
 feinated coffee
 Cracked ice
 1-2 cup whipping cream, whipped Ia teaspoon cinnamon
 1-8 teaspoon nutmeg
 Pour hot coffee over Ice in a glass. Top with a spoonful of whipped cream into which the spices have been folded. Sugar may be served with the coffee. The ice cubes are doubly effective if they are made of decaffeinated coffee. Remember when making decaffeinated coffee by the pot or percolator method that 1t needs slightly longer brewing than other coffee to bring out its full, rich flavor.

 Checkerboard Sandwiches
 Spread slices of whole wheat bread with jelly, meat paste, or some other sandwich spread. Top with slices Of white bread. Cut in half-inch strips. Put four of these strips to- gether with butter, placing whole wheat bread next to white bread. Wrap in waxed paper, store in re- frigerator, and slice just before serving.

Iceland Bankers Confer

Two Icelandic bankers and one
big businessman began conferences
today with State Department ON
cials designed to assure q continu-
ing supply of vital food shipments
and raw materials.
Bjorn Olafsson, the business rep
resentative on the commission, said
that Iceland had plenty of money to
spend, and that the island needed
plenty of food.
Iceland used to obtain her supply
needs in continental Europe or in
Britain, but the war cut OF those
sources, either because Of the block
ade or prior home demands.
How much Iceland Is ready to
spend and how much the United
was ready to sell was not revealed
in advance of the conferences OPEN
ing today at the State Department.
However, the islands imports from
all nations for the year ending July
l approximated $l7,000,0O

Unseated Delegates Urge
Unity al Teachers Rally
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOClateo FfeSs
DETROIT, Aug 26.-The ''rump"
convention of three locals denied
admittance to the American Fed
Grafton of Teachers Convention
ended here last night with rally at
which the unseated delegates reaf-
firmed their desire to achieve unity
withinn the federation.
Mary Foley Grossman, president
of the ousted Philadelphia Local 1872
and former national A. F. T. vice
president, declared that in, the re-
election of DR.. George S. Counts Of
New York City, as federation presi-
dent, I'VE see the teachers oppor-
tunity for erecting a three-point
program: A fight against Fascism,
defense of the schools and organi-
zation of unorganized teachers"
The major issue of this conven-
ton has been the implementing Of
just such a program" she said.
Besides the Philadelphia local.
two New York locals-No. and No.

munist sympathies and their petit

lantic by way of Murmansk and
Archangel-prove impracticable.
Once the British and the Rus
SLAMS are settled in Iran they
will be able to build highways
from the Persian Gulf to the Rus
sian border and thus ship war
materials to Russia without fear
ing Axis submarine and air at
tacks against the conveys. The
Indian Ocean is free of enemy
submarines and the nearest air
base is hundreds Of miles away
in the Mediterranean.
Two Reasons for Invasion.
The second reason-which in
the end will prove even more i'm
portant-is that the temporary
occupation of Iran will give the
jump to the British to protect
the important Middle East oil
fields. Even If the Russians are
defeated in this first stage of the
war and are compelled to aban-
don Kiev, Moscow and Lenin-
grad to the enemy. the British
Russian forces which will now be
joining hands can defend with
ease the Baku oil fields.
Furthermore, both Allies are
closing in on Turkey. This will
overcome the last hesitations of
some Of the Turkish leaders and
it is expected that Turkey will
join Britain and Russia for the
defense of the Near and Middle
East against the Nazis.
On this manner q strong mill
tary Gordon will be established
around the vital oil fields of
Azerbaidjan, Mosul and Persia
and Hitler will have to fight a
losing battle If he attempts to
obtain access to those regions.
There are enough British and
Russian forces-without counting
the Turks-to prevent the Fuehrer
from obtaining oil without which
he cannot continue this war for
q long time.

sounding devices lest they reveal
their own whereabouts.
The first hour or two before sun
rise also lie submarine weather"
but now time is all on the side Of
the intended victims. 1t is difhcult
for the submarine commander to
gauge the light so as to be sure OF
his own invisibility. With the deep
ening dusk every minute adds to
his safety.
With a view to possible subma-
rine warfare the American Navy Is
perfecting It's strategy. Shortly af-
ter sunset the ships of a convoy
begin to draw into close formation
to limit the area in which lurking
underseas craft can operate against
them. With the first streaks OF
daylight and the beginning Of dusk
the destroyer becomes q beehive of
activity with everything made Sc
cure, the guns ready and all hands
at their stations.
Life becomes a bit hectic for ON
GERS and crew as the raucous call to
quarters tears them from sleep In
what seems to be the middle of the
night-say 8 am.-although 1t has
been reported from the bridge that
darkness is breaking. From now on
the destroyer's job will get harder
and harder, as the hours of misty
dusk increase.
Picture Changes.
1t is generally agreed, however,
that no submarine would dare at
tack a well-guarded convoy OF this
size unless the commander lost his
head. 1t would be almost sure sui
eide. The whole picture of sub
marine warfare has changed since
American and British inventive
genius have made flight, rather than
hiding, the only way of escape.
Thus far, in the face Of overcast
skies and rain, the weather of the
Atlantic has been balmy. For the
first time today the sky has cleared
a little. Dark, cumulous clouds have
lifted, leaving a ceiling of alto
cirrus cloud. This gives the first
opportunity for practice dive bomb
ing by planes released from the
accompanying aircraft carrier. They
rapidly disappear in the clouds,
ready to pounce upon any sus-
picious disturbance in the water
which might indicate a submerging
craft.

through the very Red territory
from which Soviet aid would have
to come to the Turks.
II and when Hitler succeeds in
overrunning the Ukraine or in
any event wnen winter has laid
a restraining hand on military
operations in the Soviet, it's not
unlikely that he will strike at
Turkey. That is, he may attack
unless the Turks finally agree to
his demands for passage Of his
troops and equipment across their
country.
Pacts With Both Sides.
The Turks presumably will be
governed by circumstances. They
have a defensive alliance with
the British and q pact of friend
ship with the Germans. The late
Kemal Ataturk, creator of the
new Turkey, laid down the policy
of standing with Britain in event
of war. The trend of affairs
would make it appear that this
remains the desire of his success
sors, and is likely to dominate
their actions unless the Nazis are
able to present an overwhelming
threat to the life of the nation.
Report has it that the Iranians
have been suspicious of Russia's
intentions. The Muscovites de-
sire for such access to the warm
seas as might be provided by the
Persian Gulf has raised a doubt
in Iranian minds whether the
Reds would withdraw from the
country once they got an army
of occupation. installed. How
ever, both Russia and Britain
have announced that they have
no territorial designs in Iran,
and even if the Bolshevists
should change their minds. the
British certainly wouldn't sand
for Soviet domination of a coun-
try of such strategic Importance.
In the light of this Sensational
Allied move it will be clear that
Britain's Gen. Wavell was not
demoted-as many believed
when he was transferred to India
not long ago from his command
in Egypt.
Gen. Wavell has under his
command more than half . mil
lion well-equipped Indian troops,
and repeatedly will haVe another

strong defense but might permit

a victory over the rest of the
world and this was the time for
Iran to get rid of both the Brit
ish and the Russian influence.
Ria hated the Russians and
was anxious to get rid of the
British In order to keep for him
self the rich oil fields and the
refineries the Anglo-Persian oil
companies had set up in Iran at
a heavy cost. Hence, when the
Germans began pouring into the
country, drilling the Iranian SOL
diers in modern warfare with
token" weapons, Ria became
impressed. He undoubtedly be-
heved that goose-stepping alone
made an army invincible.
Some modern war equipment
was sent him early in the war; a
few tanks, some airplanes and
especially tommy guns and other
light equipment.
The German officers are said
to have explained to him that
the Iranian Army did not need
much heavy war material be-
cause the high mountains, the
impaSSable rivers and other
geographical advantages Persia
enjoyed would make up for the
deficiencies of modern war para
phernalia.
The next few weeks will show
how much Of an impediment the

British and the Soviet Armies.

Cotton Wheat Measure
Seen Dead After Veto
By the Associated Press.

.
House members predicted today
that no attempt would be made to
override President Roosevelt's sharp
ly worded veto of legislation to
freeze Government loan stocks of
wheat and cotton and to relax pen
alties for producing above-quota
wheat.
THAT bill is as dead as anything
can be and don't think any one
will be foolish enough to ask for a
vote" Representative Cochran,
Democrat, of Missouri said
There's not a chance for the leg
islation now" Representative Mich
ener, Republican, of Michigan, act
ing minority leader, observed.
Both based their opinions on the
fact that the bill passed the House
by a close vote of 176 to 1872 and,
barring wholesale reversals, the
members could not be expected to
roll up the two-thirds majority re-
quired to override presidential
vetoeS.
Representative Cochran expressed
the opinion that yesterdays veto
might be overridden in the Senate,
but the House gets the first chance
at it, because it was a House bill
which the President refused to sign.
The senatorial farm group wrote
into the bill provisions to prohibit
the Commodity Credit Corp. dis
posing of any Of its huge piles of
cotton and wheat held under recent
farmer-loan programs as q safe
guard against creating q market
depressing influence.
The Presidents message called
the bill contrary to sound govern
mental policy and the long time
best interests of both farmers and
consumers"
