Walker Seeks Farley
On D. T.. Can SALVAGE

Horace Walker secretary OF the
District Salvage Committee, said to-
day that he would seek con-
ference Monday with District Com
missioner Young and other city and
Federal officials to discuss the an
nouncement earlier this week of the
War Production Board that Wash
ington would be one of So munich
palities in which housewives will be
asked to save tin cans.
Mr.. Walker said it would be up to
the Commissioners to determine the
feasibility of a municipal collection.
At present a private company holds
salvaging rights and is entitled to
salvage on the municipal dump.
However, Mr.. Walker, who con-
ferred yesterday afternoon with
WPB officials, said it had been
found that private dealers do not
have the equipment or men for ex-
tensive collections from housewives.
1t also was pointed out that private
operators now have to reduce the
mileage of their trucks.

Where Jelly Is Packed

By the Associated Press.


Charges of insanitary conditions
prevailing in winchester (VaD ap-
pile butter and jelly packing plant

were aired in testimony before a
House Appropriations Subcommit-
tee made public today.
The case was first presented by l..
Metcalf Walling. administrator of
the Labor Department Division of
Public Contracts, in a discussion
of inspection work by that division
in enforcement of the Walsh-H -Healey
Act setting up safety and health
standards in e,formance of Gov.
ernment contracts.
Mr.. Walling said investigations by
his organization disclosed IAN ap-
palllng situation in one of the large
canneries" subsequently identified
in the testimony of Representative
Tarver, Democrat, of Georgia, a
committee member as the National
Food Products canning plant at
Winchester.
COckrOaches Charged.
I'VE found" Mr.. Walling said,
that the food which was being
canned was being prepared under
shockingly unsanitary conditions.
l had brought to my desk a jar of
apple jelly which had nicely en-
balmed under the lid cockroach. I
also had brought to me a sample jar
which had been filled by the inspec-
tors who simply raked them off a
shelf and put the cockroaches in
the jar"
These and other charges made by
Mr.. Walling, however, were subse-
quently controverted by testimony of
Walter G. Campbell. food and drug
administration commissioner, and
Edward Williams. assistant general
counsel of the Farm Security Ad-
ministration.
Mr. Campbell told the committee
the Food and Drug Administration

samples and made examinations and
found no Cockroaches in them.
Samples Called Unrepresentative.
Mr. Campbell said his understand
ing OF the samples submitted by the
public contracts division containing
cockroaches was that those samples
had been set aside for some time and
were open, and were not at all rep
resentative of the products that
were shipped out of the plant"

command to partner, "Please let
me direct the defense at this
point"
Usually you ask for the lead of
a suit only if you hold shoppers
in it, but not always. Sometimes
it is very vital to command your
partner to lead a suit because
your side has no tricks in it and
nothing to lose, while some other
lead might wreck a stopper.
When your partner has led a
low card and you must make an
effort to win the trick, you do
not have the opportunity for in
dicating your wishes. But you
do have chance to give him an
idea of your top strength in the
suit.
An important principle here
is, if you are going to play
card from a sequence, play the
lowest of the sequence. Note
that this is just the reverse of
what you should do in leading.
The blind lead of a quee
shows that you do not have the
king but that you do have the
jack (unless the suit is very
shorD. In following suit with a
queen, on the other hand, you
positively deny having the jack,
but you may have the king.
BY following with the lowest
of a sequence, you frequently
enable your partner TO infer
that you hold the higher cards,
by observation of what card is
forced from declarer's hand TO
win the trick Tor by the fact
that he does not win the tricky

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 24-The

During the first world fracas

REJECTS DEFERMENT
Ever since the peacetime draft
began, Hollywood has been
wondering how much manpoWer
it must give UP, and whether the
movies might be considered an
essential industry. Now the Sc
lective service director has okay-
ed deferments for those "who
cannot be replaced b-~ause OF
the shortage of persons of their
qualifications and skill and
whose removal would cause a
serious loss of effectiveness"
Directors of the Screen Actors
Guild, in a surge of militance
tinged with modesty, now reject
this ruling SO far as players are
concerned, want it known that
actors have had no part in seek
ing draft deferment, and declare
that no actor is irreplaceable in
Hollywood.
Some executives already have
started wringing their hands in
anticipation of the loss of more
big box office names. Others are
pointing out there is nothing in
the deferment ruling to prevent
voluntary enlistment by any star,
director, writer, technician or
anyone else who wants whack
at Jap.

CLUSTERED CUSTOMS

The government recently set
up rigid censorship for examina-
ton of all films leaving or en-
tering the United States, and one
of the first jobs in this region
was inspection of a flock of dis
jointed stuff shot in Mexico Tor
a new Orson Welles picture. A
customs official, unacquainted
with Hollywood methods, got
pretty excited when he saw it
and communicated his suspicion
to Washington that the stuff
must contain propaganda or a
hidden code because some OF the
scenes had photographed 10 or

THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN
PEARL HARBOR

Washington had his sunshine po-

Today we have new and equally OBJ
noxous breed - foIse front patriots.
They erect with loud talk and greet

fIot with the first stiff breeze because
it has q foIse front.
Specifically these big takers and

Of thing is about as heI pfuI to our war

For instance, the Cleveland postof-

to keep these stamps or trade them in
on defense bonds. This was q net SELL
out Of Uncle Sam, General MocAr-
thur, Admiral Nimitz, the thousands
in front line fighting and the millions

Reports Of such redemptions, some
more and some less, come from other
sections Of the nation and piled up to
q totoI Of $6.o4o,7l2 stamp redemp-
tons in December. That is enough
money to equip q fleet Of flying for

Some of these stamps undoubtedly
we're redeemed in bonds. Some per-

the percentage remains too high if we
are going to do much about Pearl Hor-

PILGRIMS IN PERSEPoLIs

An opoIescent memory glowing
through vopors Of the semi-mythicol-
this, and some ruins, is PersePoIs to-
doy. When the fobIed Bobouc came
with open mind to Persepolis. it was
the up-to-the-minute copitoI Of the
Persion Empire. So long ago does b.
bouc's journey begin. Yet, as VoItoire
would have it, the pilgrim was bewil-
dered in the ancient city by the same
porodox that confuses your neiehbor,
Mr.. Jones or Mr.. Brown.
At no time has this paradox more
strongly asserted itself than today.
Courage and cowordice, ideolism and
deprovity. mercy and ruthIessness,
love Of peace and octs Of war, plans
for building up and tools for destruc-
ton - these strange combinations
moke q pottern Of group behavior in
which the individual, trying to set his
own mental house in moral order, feels
himself q pilgrim who has lost the road.
This is how Bobouc came to Persep-
oils:
lthurieI, q genie who ruled in Asia,
had doubts about the Persian Empire,
whether it should be destroyed. He sent
Bobouc to investigate.
Bobouc kept diary. Before return
ing to the genie, he consulted it. 3D.
bouc had seen judgeships bought and
sold, yet had witnessed honest decisions
in the courts. He had found seIfishness
and generosity side by side. sometimes
in one person. And where one citizen
was wicked another was good. This
was the way Of PersepoIis.
Bobouc had q little stotue modelled
of cIoy, gems, precious metals,
bose moterioIs, all together. To the
( genie lthurieI he presented this sig
nifieont token. And the genie, quick
to perceive, spared PersepoIis and
Persio. For the good and the evil we're
- mixed together thot to punish the
one seemed to require injustice to the
other. Moreover. while nothing there
