WASHINGTON, April l3-Some of civilian defense may be tagging badly but not the Civil Air Patrol.
 Nearly one-third of all certified civilian pilots in the country either now are members or have apphed for enrollment in the CAP A re- cent check up showed that 33,000 have been received in Washington and that 29,000 of these have been cleared and sent back to the wing commanders with the notation that the pilots are acceptable for membership
 Many activities of the CAP are as secret as Army or Navy flights and can not be reported, but some of them can. The Illinois wing, for example, is conducting a 1922 model treasure hunt-flying the state at low attitudes in search for scrap metal represented in the graveyards of abandoned cars and farm machinery.

Prime Minister Churchill Makes Report, Sinking
 of Three Ships

LONDON, April 13-British Prime Minister Winston Churchill dis closed today that the Japanese are operating in the Bay of Bengal with powerful naval forces headed by at least three battleships, five aircraft carriers, several heavy-light cruisers and also destroyers. He made the report to the House of Commons today.
 The Prime Minister also reported the loss of the aircraft carrier Hermes and cruisers Dorsetshire and Cornwall.
 Churchill said the Japanese fleet in the Bay of Bengal included one modenized l6-inch Navat type craft of 32,0O0 tons and it was against this vastly superior force headed for Ceylon, that the Hermes Dorsetshire and Cornwall were pre- pairing to make stand when sent to the bottom by Japanese bombs.
 Premier Churchill said the Con- mander of the Interceptor Force Admiral Sir James Somerville had done nothing to weaken confidence of the Admiralty in his judgment

KUIBYSHEV, April 13-Striking at what is called the blabbering. of Japanese miiitaristic and Fas- cist cliques" about the war in the north, Soviet Russia observed it's first anniversary of the signing cf the Japanese Russian neutrality pact by warning Tokyo to live up to all the qualifications of the agreement.
 The warning was made in an editorial by Pravda, the organ of the Central Committee of the Com munist Party.
 Although not belligerent in tone, the editorial spoke in firm phrases, saying. it is necessary that the Japanese military and Fascist cliques who are dizzy on military successes should understand that their blabbering about war invasion in the north might damage first of all and most of all, Japan her self"
 The editorial came while both Japanese Ambassador Naotake Sato and the United States Ambassador to Russia, Admiral William H Standley were in Moscow to pre- sent their credentials.

WASHINGTON, April 13 Gun, ners of besieged Corregidor battered away Sunday at two recurring waves of Japanese bombers and also enemy artillery batteries fir- ing onto the island fortress from two sides. The antiaircraft fire from the fortress kept the enemy planes at such height and altitude that the damage to the fortress was slight and there were only a few casualties. This is according to the daily communique issued by the War Department.
 There have been ten raids on Corregidor during the past "A hours, raising the total to g during the past two days.
 The War Department reports that Corregidor gunners sank num- Der of small Japanese boats in the harbor of the fishing village of Mariyeles at the tip of the aban- doned Bataan PePninsua and several boats were set afire in addition to those sunk.
 Communications between Corregi- dor and Cebu has been cut off for the past 48 hours, Major Gen. Jonathan Wainwright radios so he is unable to report on efforts to beat off the invasion of the cen- tral Philippine island, more than 300 miles south of Corregidor.

Editors Note: This is the second of a series on the cru cial U. s. shipping situatiOn)

WASINGTON - There are two major phases to the U. s. shipping picture, currently the sourest spot in the war program.
 One, discussed previously in this column, is the problem of speeding the production of hundreds of des- perately needed cargo vessels. AS revealed in that article, this vast program is being seriously hamp- cred by waste, inefficiency and pil- fering of public funds and mater ials.
 The other phase is the equally vital job of loading and routing the great fleet of merchant ships needed to supply the embattled war machines of the United Nations Here too the story is often the same-mismanagement, tragic waste and worse.
 The picture is not all black. AS in the case of shipbuilding, the sit uation on the West Coast now is very good-thanks to recent marked improvement due to the appoint ment of a regional shipping czar, Dean Wayne Morse of Oregon Unl- versity. Authority was centralized in his hands on the joint recom- mendation of ship operators and the CIO longshoreman's union, the dominant maritime labor organiza- ton.
 But on the Atlantic Coast the picture is very different. There it smells to high heaven.
 Following the excellent results obtained by the appointment of Morse, the President advised War Shipping Administrator Emory s (Jerry) Land to clean up the dis nal East Coast ess the same way. The inside word is that Land baked under pressure from the op- orators and Jack Ryan, burly boss of the AFL longshoreman's union which rules the Boston, New York

 The bomhers are credited with destroying or seriously damaging 28 enemy planes at a cost Of only two Allied aircraft.
 The mounting Allied air offen- sive gathered momentum over the weekend in a series of fierce as- saults that left a trail of destruc- ton on the Japanese bases stretch ing from the Island Of Timor to the Solomon Islands along the vast 24O0 mile arc north of the con- tinent of Australia.
 The principal target of the of- fensive was Rabaul New Britain. This port was raided Sunday for the fourth successive day. Large Japanese ships in the harbor were seriously damaged, several hit with heavy bombs.

of the meat are placed one on top
of the other and run through the
cubing machine together. In other
cases, a single slice of meat is
used. But rarely are the finished
steaks much over one-half inch in
thickness.
Cuts selected for cubing are usu
ally rich in meat eXtractives and
flavor. They may be pan-fried in a
small amount of fat or they may
he broiled-if precautions are taken
against their drying out. 1t is best
10 broil such thin steaks at mod
crate temperature, which is no
trick at all if one is fortunate
enough to own a modern electric
range with the convenient type of
Droiler units now being built into
these ranges. These electric broil-
ing units cook by radiant electric
heat, the temperature of which is
usually regulated by the distance
the food is placed from the glowing
unit. To make this regulation even
easier, some electric broilers are
equipped with inch marks, which
indicate clearly just where to in
sert the rack and pan.
One way to keep cube steaks
from drying out is to spread them

to serve two, the porterhouse to
serve two or three. Sirloin steaks
are sized to serve larger families
and may be less expensive. Of the
sirloin cuts, the pin-bone is the
smallest and is ideal for four-the
wedge bone the largest.
In broiling these steaks, insert
them under the electric broiler so
that the top surface of one-inch
steaks will be about two inches
from the glowing unit. Two-inch
steaks should be about three inches
below the unit

then will have 3-4 cup of fat.

When carving a steak, run the
knife along each side of the bone
to separate the meat from it. Cut
the meat in oblong strips so that
each piece contains a portion of
meat nearest the bone and a por-
ton of the other part of the meat.

HOT OFF THE
GRIDDLE

In a small kitchen, there is
hardly room for a sink with more
than one drain board. Where
space permits, however, the sink
with a drain board on both sides
is far better for speed and order
in dishwashing. The dishes may
then be stacked at the right hand
side Immediately on being brought
from the table, washed and placed
on the left-hand drain to be dried.
Boiled beef and pot roasts lend
themselves to morning preparation
and are still excellent on reheat-
ing with gravy.
When substituting shortening
for butter in recipe, use the same
quantity shortening as butter call
ed for, adding one teaspoon of salt
for every cup of shortening used.
Fruits which are to be cooked
need not be absolutely ripe. In
fact, they retain their form better
when cooked if they are just lit
tie under-ripe. Peaches, however,
peel better when ripe. Berries which
are overripe may be saved by
cooking and using in sauces and
drinks. Rhubarb should have an
unwrinkled skin.
