has a very high thiamin content, caused
loss of about 80 per cent. Frying
slices of lean ham brought about less

Dried beans lost practically no thia-

they lost about 80 per cent when baked.
Commercially canned baked beans were
about three-fourths as rich in thiamin
value as home baked beans.
Samples of blackstrap molasses from
Cuba, Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo
were about fourth as rich as lean pork

molasses, such as is most commonly
used in cooking, carried only bare traces
of thiamin.
Potatoes lost about so per cent of their

George and Adolph vosyl- nus who disappeared myster- iously on a vacation to Lake Winnepesaukee, N. H., in September, 1941, were taken into custody by FBI agents yesterday in Phoenix, Ari- zona, ending one of the most dramatic incidents ever re- corded in local police annals. The two youths are wanted for violation of the Selective Serysee Act. and will be returned to Connecticut for prosecution.
 Tho two left here by automobile over a year ago to spend two-wSe& vacation at the famous New Hamp- shire resort. Shortly afterwards, word was received by their parents, MT. snd Mrs. Adolph Vosylius of 2S Bradley avenue, that the boys had hired canoe for a three-day trip on the lake, and had not been heard from. The canoe was found ahan- done3 along the shore, and the presumption was that the boys had been drowned.

 Local CIO circles buzzed with re- ports that International President Reid Robinson plans to transfer State Coordinator Alex Cashion, re- garded as strongly anti-C Communist, to another post. Protest meetings were being organized against any such move, one such session being a special meeting tonight of the Wa terbury Brass Workers union.
 The Chase local last night gave a trial in absentia to William E. Stan- ton, who was deposed as president two weeks ago and replaced by Ste- phen Culbert as acting president.
 Other reports in labor union circles today said that while Harris and Hollenbeck may be transferred from. this area they will be replaced by other Robinson packers Local unions are still protesting the claimed reelection of Robinson over John J. Driscoll of this city, charg- ing fraud.
 When the cases of the two Chase local members was called in court this morning before Judge T. E Conway, Prosecutor William K Lawlor asked that a two-week con- tinuarce be allowed to the men booked yesterday on charges of as- sault and breach of the peace. The prosecutor explained that the con. tinuance had been asked by the at. torney for the defense.

Armed Forces Plan to Use 200 to 300 for Train-
 ing Youths
BY REUEL S. MOORE United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

Washington, December r. - (UP) - A broad program for utilizing college and university facilities to give specialized training to young men in the armed services was an- nounced jointly today by Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and Secre- tary of Navy Frank Knox.
 The principles to be followed were laid down, but the institutions which will be used were not named because they have not been chosen yet. The number of students event. ually to be trained was not an- nounced either. Various educators have estimated that from 200 to 300 institutions would be used to train approximately 25ooo0 Army and Navy men.
 The Army and Navy will con- tract with the selected institutions to furnish instructions in pre- scribed courses and to provide hous- ing and mess facilities. Men sent to college by the services will be on active duty and wear uniforms, re- ceive service pay and be subject to discipline. ......m..-
 Institutions will be chosen on the basis of their facilities in ac- cordance with rules to be pre- scribed by Manpower Commission Chairman Paul V. McNutt, after consultation with StimSon and Knox. A joint committee repre- senting the services and the War Manpower Commission will make the actual selections.
 "The procedure for the selection of colleges to be used in the train ing programs will be announced shortly" the joint statement said, Meanwhile college officials or re- presentatives will attain no advan- tage by attempting to present the merits of their particular institution to the joint committee"
 Existing contracts between the services and educational systems will not be abrogated by the new program.
 The statement said the plan was designed to provide the required trained and qualified youths lon .

Light snow is predicted for to- night by the weather bureau, along with c slight rise in temperature.
 Making the zero weather even more uncomfortable than ordinarily was the fact that many streets and sidewalks are still covered with ice and snow from Sundays near blizzar dand Tuesday nights light snowfall.

 VICTIM OF BLAZE
Rev. Edward C. ROsenber- ger, Known Here, Per.
 ishes in Rect0ry Fire

South Windsor, Conn, December IT. - (UP) A Roman Catholic priest, the Rev. Edward G. Rosen- berger, perished today when fire broke out in the parish house ot St. Francis church.
 Volunteer firemen, who respond ed to an alarm telephoned by a neighbor, said they found the priests body lying on the floor in- side the doorway leading to porch. He apparently had been suffocated while trying to escape from the house. Bremen said he had been severely burned.
 The priest was alone in the house when the fire broke out from all undetermined cause.
 His housekeeper was away on Christmas vacation.
 Father Roserberger came here from Bridgeport September IT, l94l, to take over the parish. A new church was dedicated only a few weeks ago.
 The parish house, adjoining the church, was a tWo.story frame structure. It was not damaged bad- ly by the fire. which was controlled soon after volunteers arrived in sub- zero weather.
 Father Rosenberger was native of Stamford.
 Father Rosenberger's tragic death came as q great shock to many per- sonal friends here in Waterbury, both among the clergy and former classmates and acqualntances at Holy Cross College, of which he was an alumnus.
 He was a brilliant student at the Worcester institution and main tained his reputation as @ scholar and an orator throughout his the ological training and during his years as 0 priest in the Hartford diocese. He had been selected on many occasions by the Bishop for special work, demanding public ap-
