White Russia Escape Cor ridor for Germans
 Threatened
(BY ASSOCIATED PREss)

On the Soviet front today, Vichy radio reports coming through via Stockholm said that Red Army troops have crossed the frontier into White Russia, continuing the advance drive against that sector which the Soviet Republic said has taken place 75 miles northwest of Smolensk between Vitebsk and Nevel
 If there is a continued thrust, it is a serious threat against the important Vitebsk defense guard ing the flank of the German "es- cape corridor" from Moscow on the old Napoleonic road to Smolensk.
 The Vichy radio, quoting Ger man news agency dispatches, also reported mounting Soviet pressure in the Orel and Kharkov sectors south of Moscow around Sevasto- pol
 The bulletin from German head quarters acknowledged heavy Red Army attacks in the Perch penin- sula district in Crimea but declared they were repulsed and that Na.,i gunners knocked 82 tanks out of action.

Two Nations Are Laying Groundwork for Counter
 Drives in South Pacific

MELBOURNE, April 10 - The United States and Australia have taken the offensive in the air but are yet unable to lay the ground work for a total counter drive, 1t is stressed officially while the Jap anese have consolidated further gains on the arc of bases facing Australia.
 In actual warfare, seven Japan csc bombers escorted by fighters, raided the strategic New Guinea harbor of Port Moresby for the twenty-fifth time. It is believed the enemy lost one bomber.
 First reports regarding the 20 minute raid mentioned no damage and no casualties as the attackers once more encountered Allied in terceptor planes and the defending airmen pitched savagely into re- sistance and successfully.
 Lieut.. Gen. Brett, Air Chief and Deputy Commander under Gen, Douglas Macarthur, struck the keynote when he said:
 We have taken the offensive against the Japanese in the air and we will continue to increase >it"

The W ashingto Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON-That shipbuild- CTS are making enormous war profits is not news. Much sensational evil dence on this has been revealed bv several congressional commit tees.
 But what is news is the fact that despite these huge profits-gross inefficiency, waste and even worse are rampant in many shipyards.
 In fact so serious has the situ- ation become that ship production has been gravely affected, and the Justice Department and Truman committee have begun quiet probes preliminary to drastic crack-downs.
 Evidence already in the hands of investigators shows that the worst offenders are the established companies, who have been given the bulk of the contracts by the Maritime Commission on the ground that they had the "know-how' to build ships fast and in large num- bers. Actually, production records tell a different story.
 The most efficient yards are the new ones, in many cases erected and operated by men without any previous shipbuilding experience.
 For example: The ace plant m the country is the Portland (Oreo Shipyard, one of the Henry Kaiser properties. Builder of Boulder Dam and other giant projects Kaiser had never made ship un- til. as a war measure, he got into the business last year. Today he has a number of West Coast yards which are turning out ships by the most advanced and efficient meth ods on a continuous 24-hour, seven day operational basis.
 The best of these yards is the Portland plant, managed by ms son Edgar. He had never built ship before and only three of his executives had previous shipbuiid- ing experience. Also only frac- ton of the thousands of worKefs in the yard are shipbuilders.
 In contrast, is the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Co.,, one of the largest and oldest in the country, which investigators report doesn't ever begin to approach the Kaiser yards in efficiency.
 Bethlehem is described as being the biggest obstacle" to three shift system. It has vigorously re- sisted this on the ground that I is impossible to obtain enougf trained supervisors. Bethlehem in

Setting Your Table
With Summertime

pineapple syrup, one-fOurth cup OF
vinegar and enc tablespoon stick Gin
namon and cloves or picking spice.
The mixture is brought to boil, the
pineapple slices added and allowed to
summer ten minutes, then to chill in
the syrup over night at least. Left
over syrup may be used by heating,
it, adding plain gelatine and turn
ing it into molds. 1t makes an ex-
cellent meat accompaniment, or the
base for a spiced fruit salad mold.
Desserts = the same three C's
(crisp, cool, colorfuD apply to them.
Chilled cantaloupe and wedges cut
from canned sliced pineapple will
make a base for many delicious fruit
combinations. Add any fruits in sea-
son to this that will lend color and
flavor contrast, and serve either in
the followed melon cups or in sher-
bet glasses. The melon cut in balls
will add to the attractiveness of these
fruit combinations and topping them
with a sprig of fresh mint will give
an added touch of green.
Cantaloupe la mode may be given
new version by topping the ice
cream with crushed pineapple. To be
a bit dressy arrange well-chilled
slice of pineapple upon thin cut OF
melon and top with ice cream. Anoth-
err interesting use of crushed pineap-
pie is in the preparation of a parfait
arrange alternate layers of vanilla
ice cream and crushed pineapple in
tall glasses.
You will, of course, be serving cool
ing summer beverages but remember
ice isn't all that is needed when it
comes to summarizing these lifts to-
parched threats. Mint, maraschino
cherries, pineapple slices add the
verve that color alone can supply.
Lighter, cooler, gayer-garbed with
summertime-our foods, our lives,
our spirits! This is our prescription
for a happy summer.

There is something about the tlnKIe
of ice in tall glasses, the gentle SWISH
of crisp greens, as they are tossed
lightly about in a chilled bowl, the
glorious color notes of the fruits OF
the season, that bid US set out tables
with summertime. Most certainly
STYLES in foods, as in frocks, change
with the season. The three daily
meals like people, cannot always wear
the same clothes.
Crisp. cool and colorful-thls IS the
dress our tables should wear. TINS

green wedges of avocado balls OF
orange hue scooped out of a canta-
loupe. and the gold of half slices OF
canned pineapple glinting through
The whole to be dressed with a mix
ture of oil and fruit juices, and served
with hot cheese biscuits and a glass
of iced tea.
You may wish to serve a meal-ln-
a-bowl salad-crisp greens avocado,
shrimp or crab, pineapple slices cut
in quarters, and asparagus if you like.
Served with thousand island dressing,
a sailed wafer and not much else,-ah
here lies a frock for ones table that's
pleasing to eye and palate alike. And,
since we're on the subject of salads,
there's the sea food salad, nodded or
not, as you please, garnished with
neat little cups of cucumber or toma-
to filled with drained crushed pine
apple. Well chilled of course. Serve
it as is, or fluffed up with bit OF
whipped crea mand given a nip Of
horseradish. Excellent with cold
meat cuts.

what God wanted him to do.
Whatever you may think of Yves
ley's practice, it is true that God does
speak to US through the Scriptures.
Washington, Lincoln, and many
others, when crushed by heavy bur
dens, have found this to be true.
You too can find Gods guidance by
reading the Bible.
AS you are reading along God may
flash into your mind a picture show
ing you just where you may be max

How often, when you have been in
need of some advice, you have picked
up your phone and called some
friend.
In a somewhat similar manner, you
can get advice from God!
When in some difficulty and you
would like to have Him to direct you,
offer a short sincere prayer for guild
ance. Then pick up your Bible, open
it at random to any passage, and
start reading. In short time, while
you are still reading there will come
to you an idea, a suggestion "a lead
ing, thought, which, if followed out,
may be the very solution of your
problem.
Even John Wesley INDUCED in a
very similar practice.
When face to face with the necessi-
ty of making an important decision,
he would offer short prayer, open
his Bible at random and read the first
verse at the top of the page to which
he happened to turn. From what he

HOT OFF THE CREDIBLE

One pint of milk to 2 eggs or 5
egg yolks gives a minimum soft thick
custard that will make in small cups.
Choose sunfast colors in wall
papers in not too thin a paper and
have it put on by a good workman. 1t
is poor economy to use cheap labor
to hang good paper, it also follows
that good paper will give many more
years of service than cheap paper and

Cities Urged to Examine
Their Housing Codes

All cities should examine their
housing codes and make amend
ments which will pave the way for
building small, inexpensive houses,
suitable to wartime restrictions and
conservations. This was the sug-
gestion made by the United States
Savings and Loan League Commit
tee on Housing, meeting in Chicago
last week. The group, consisting Of
savings, building and loan eXecu-
tives from all parts of the country,
pointed out that under many build
ing codes the construction of small
war housing of the type permitted
under present War Production
Board orders is virtually impos-
sible.
Leadership in revising building
codes has been taken in several
large cities which have either sub
code for the duration, the F. H. A.
minimum construction requirements
or permitted city officials to allow
the use of substitute or alternate
materials which are available and
which will not materially increase
fire or health hazards or lessen the
structural stability of the building"
the committee said.
"Other cities have adopted for
the duration of the war the emer-
gency plumbing standards for de-
fense housing prepared by the War
Production Board in cooperation
with the plumbing industry"
