NEW YORK, Oct. G0-(UPD-
Chefs in the biggest hotels and
short order cooks in the loWliest
haSh-hcuSe used cookbookS and
their own ingenuity today to devise
meat-substitute dishes for Mayor
f. H. LaGuardia's first meatless
Tuesday.
Hotels and restaurants through
out the city have agreed to comply
with the mayor program to con-
serve beef, lamb and pork for the
armed forces and the nations al
lies.

prises at lunch or dinner today as
chefs concentrated on fish, poul-
try, dairy products, vegetables and
other foods not on the forbidden
liSt.
The Hotel Astor will specialize in
a pancake of American cheese, and
a outlet of vegetables cooked with
ground-up nuts stimulating the
flavor of meat. Longchamps has
worked out a menu emphasizing
fish-incll>ding deviled fresh lobster
and an oXtail ragout en- casserole
with fresh new vegetables bour-
geoiSc.
These were typical, although the
variations were almost as numer-
Gus as the citys thousands of res
taurant:.
Even the houses specializing in
steaks, roasts and chops announc-
ed they will comply with the city's
first "meatless day" in "a years,
since the days of World War NO.

FDR Declares War
Building Program
Working Out Well

WASHINGTON. April 24-CUP)-
President Roosevelt said today the
mammoth war production program.
launched in January, is working out
extremely well. considering that the
program was called fantastic when
he first announced it.
Mr.. Roosevelt foreSaw the posi-
bility of an even greater program
of production.
He said shortages of steel plates
and shapes were the principal rea-
sons for the merchant shipbuilding
program being behind schedule.
The two-year production goals set
forth by Mr.. Roosevelt in January
included l85. 900 airplanes, 10000
tanks, 5000 antiaircraft guns and
1900, 900 lightweight tons of mer-
chant shipping.
Commenting ON statement by
maritime commission chairman
Eory S. Land that the shipbuilding
program is behind schedule because
of ''loafing' on the part of labor
and management, and the steel
plate shortage. Mr. Roosevelt said
he thought the failure of the pro-
gram to reach scheduled produc-
ton was due almost entirely to the
steel-plate shortage.
He remarked that Lands state
ment, however, was a good burr m-
der the tail of labor and manage
ment.

lacking heavily on three important
areas of the Burma front, dis
patches reported today, and it was
admitted officially that Chinese and
British forces were hard pressed.
Along the Irrawaddy river, at the
west side of the 240 mile front, the
Japanese threw fresh reinforce

Yanangyaung and there was fierce
fighting along the Puir river line.
To the southwest British. forces
withdrew from Taungwingyi, 140
miles southwest of Mandalay to
avoid entrapment after protecting
the Chinese flank to the cast.
The British withdrawal was or
dered when the Chinese evacuated

Chairman Homer T. Bone, D.,
Wash. asked Assistant Attorney
General Thurman Arnold, in charge
of the antitrust division, for a
good clean case" showing that a
corporation had surrendered patents
for war use but withheld the know
how"
I'm particularly anxious to get
hold of a case like that" he told
Arnold. Il assure you we will ex-
plot it to the country
Bone said a corporation official
who withheld what he described as
such a vital part" of the patent,
was not decent-and that's put
ting it mildly" Such persons, he
said, are Indian givers."
Arnold told the committee that
as long as the justice department
continues its investigation there
would be no such clean cut" case
of the withholding of know how"
because the effect of investigation
is to make it sufficiently hazardous
to do the kind OF thing we are
talking about"

said, is the best preventive" OF

On Bryansk Front

fUP)-Soyiet forces were reported
today to have won new successes in
fierce battles on the Bryansk front,
200 miles southwest of Moscow, and
on the still unthawed northern
front.
On the Bryansk front, hot fight
ing was understood to be still in
progress within the German defense
belt. The Russians had broken
through the enemy's first line of
defense in a pitched battle.
What was described as the first
big battle of the spring was fought
last week on the Bryansk front, the
Russians crushing 80 German ccm-
terattacks and killing thousands be-
fore breaking through to an i'm
portant position, protected by a
stream.
NAILS ATTACK
The Germans initiated the bat
tie on the northern front, trying
to take the offensive with tanks,
aircraft and reserves. The Rus
slams broke the attack, and in a
tank battle captured two German
defense lines.
The Red army organ Red Star
said the Germans could no longer
take advantage of temporary super
iority in individual sectors, since
the initiative was the Soviets.
Moreover, Red Star said. exper-
fence had shown the Germans that
battle hardened Soviet infantrymen
were insusceptible to psychological,

we'll provided with antiaircraft ma
chine guns which made such attacks
costly.
The killing CT 400 Germans en-
the Leningrad front in two days

man planes were shot down on
Tuesday, not 80 as previously re-
ported. Fourteen German planes
were destroyed on Wednesday. The
Russians lest eight.
