Lend Lease Buying
May Force Domestic
Pork Rdtioning
Livestock Experts See
Possibility Of Action
Before End Of 1912
BY WILLIAM FERRIS.


CHICAGO, May 28.-Expansion
Of the Governments pork-buying
program, under which purchases
this year already have doubled
those Of 1e41, caused livestock men
to wonder today If some form Of
domestic rationing wouldn't be
necessary before the end of the
year.
The Governments buying pro-
gram operates primarily for lend
lease purposes-the pork is exported
to the United Nations. It is con-
sidered essential in maintaining
their morale and fighting effective
ness.
Livestock men do not believe the
public fully comprehends the extent
of lend-lease buying. The follow
ing table compares purchases in
1912 up to May 23 with those from
March, 1941, when lend lease
started, through December, 194l:
1912. 1s41.
1poundsj - 45o127,0OO 243,03O,OOO
Canned pork
(pounds) - b7b993,OOO 23O, ,O22,OOO
Frozen pork
(pounds) - 40,235,000 None
Hog castings
This, however, is only start.
The Agricultural Marketing Admin
tstration, which does the purchas-
ing. is scheduled to take 40 per
cent of all pork produced during
the next several months, at least.
This is q larger percentage than
the agency has bought so far in
1912.
Such a program inevitably leads
70 speculation on pork-rationing-
q subject nobody wants to mention
oficially but which nevertheless Is
o major conversational topic in
trade centers. Many in the trade
believe "self-rationing" Is assured.

NAVY DEPENDING
 ON H. 5. STUDENTS
Building of Aircraft Models Important Wartime PrOi-
 ect; Certificates Offered

The United States Navy is lean- ing heavily on the high school youth of the nation to bring to success full conclusion an important war time project-the building of air. craft models.
 The building of model plane at a high school carpentry bench may seem just pastime, but it may help to boost the score of enemy planes shot down and save lives of U. s. pilots and gunners.
 To shoot down an enemy plane, it is first necessary to recognize 1t. This is why-at any of the more important naval training stations it is common sight to see student pilots and student officers peering long and hard at the small black models of aircraft.
 In cooperation with the Q. s. De- partment of Education, the Navy has launched and is driving home its campaign for 50O,000 enemy air- craft to be made in the nations 26,0O0 high schools. Thus far, more than 142,000 such planes have been built, of which 75,o00 have been given to the Army and the rest to the Navy.
 Certificates of honorary Navy rank are given to each contributor of models-ranging from Cadet Aircraftsman to Captain Aircrafts- man-depending on the number of models submitted.
 BlueprintS are furnished, with in- structions for building. Scale is one inch to six feet. Models are solid and must be accurate to 1-32nd of an inch.
 Local inspectors pass on accepta- bility of models before shipping them to any of the Nsvy's fifteen receiving centers. Manual training teachers and other instructors have been distributing plans, information and instruction, as well as encour- agement.

School Children May
 Need Extra Clothing
Conservation of Fuel, Lower Temperatures Provide
 Problems for Parents; Suggestions Made

How to dress school age children this winter Is a problem confront ing mother as a result of the gov- ernment's program to conserve fuel. Temperatures of from 5 to 10 de- greeS lower than usual can be ex- pected in most schools if the recom- mendation of 65 degrees is accepted, although tests conducted by the U. s. Ofi1ce of Education reveal that some school rooms have been kept even warmer than the average 70 to 75 degrees. Of 53 schools tested last winter in New York state, for example, about one-third showed temperatures of 75 degrees or over.
 These predicted drops in school room temperatures mean that it no longer will be sufficient to bundle up the children when they start out for school. They must also be dressed warmly enough to sit for some time in Q colder indoors with out becoming chilled.
 Offer Suggestions
 Several suggestions, given by tex tile and clothing specialists of the Bureau of Home Economies, U. s. Department of Agriculture, can be used by mothers to guide their plan ming of this winters wardrobeS for the children.
 In choosing materials to be worn while sitting in cooler schoolrooms, porous weaYeS should be given first attention knitted materials. for example, and mapped fabrics. That is because the children will spend

most of their school hours sitting in air which is comparatively still, and in still air the warmer constructions are those which will enmesh a lot of dead air and use 1t as insulation be- tween the body and the surrounding space.
 In moving air-outdoors air - a close tight weave is more important for 1t forms 8 wtndback against the breeze.
 Corduroy is one type of fabric suggested by the Bureau of Home Economics as being particularly practical for this winters school needs since it combines both the virtues of tightly woven background to act as a windbreak outdoors, and pile surface which enmeshes still air and helps keep the wearer warm while indoors.
 Another point to remember when planning school clothes is that cold is usually noticed first through the region of the shoulders and arms. This offers two opportunities for more comfort long-sleeved underwear, if the child has been wearing the short-sleeved variety, and extra jackets or sweaters to pull on when the shoulders begin to feel the chill.
 Sweaters Ideal
 Of the two, the extra jacket or sweater Is probably the more prac- tical since it can be put on and taken oil at will. Coat style sweat CTS should be chosen since they are easier to get into and out of, and particularly since teachers report that boys won't bother to remove a pullover sweater if they get too warm.
 A third suggestion to keep in mind Is that jackets will be warmer and provide more real comfort If they it fairly close to the waist, rather than hang loose. This, of course, is true of all clothing dress eS or coatS-aS loose cut permits the air to circulate and lower the body temperature.
 Better investigate, too, to learn if the floor of the school room is drafty. It's apt to be, and if it is, the bare legs which most American school children insist on can get mighty chilly in 65 degree temper ature.
 Socks of at least knee-height will help solve that problem-provided the youngsters can be persuaded to wear them.

togney related, that Daddona was asked to leave the tavern after trouble started and that Caruso fol- lowed him shortly saying to q wo- man who claims the trouble, start ed over her '.Blondie", I'm going to get that fellow" Witnesses testified, he continued, that Caruso attacked Daddona and at one time in the struggle CarusO was on top of Dad- dona.
 He said evidence corroborated the claim of the defendant that he re- garded CaTuso as & dangerous man for Caruso had taken out a knife while in the restaurant and placed it on the table before him. It also was pointed out that testimony in- dicated Daddona did not take out his knife until after the death struggle began. The death weapon was an ordinary three-inch pocket knife said to have been purchased by Daddona to use at work and also for cleaning his pipe. Daddona sus- tained severe injury over his right eye in the struggle and an examin- ation by a physician a few hours after the incident revealed that he had suffered heavy blows to his neck.
 Alleged Murderer
 MT. Mascolo pointed out that Caruso was known to have killed a man in Italy. He also revealed that Caruso came to work in Waterbury in January leaving his family in New Rochelle, N. Y., and going there on his day of from work to obtain aid for his family from the city's welfare department claiming he was unemployed. When the &C., ton was discovered he moved his family here, he added.
 The states attorney stated Dad dona had no previous record and was of 8 mild character nd recom- mended a sentence of three to five years. MT. Mascolo pointed out that the accused had already been in jail for four months in lieu of $5O,- 900 bonds.
 Proper Charge
 Judge Booth said evidence indi- cated there was no malice on the part of Daddona and that man. slaughter seemed proper charge. In imposing sentence. however, he said the penalty was quite mild for a crime of that character.
 Daddona who had remained calm from the start of the hearing sud- denly broke down as the jurist was considering the penalty to be im- posed and wept openly as he listen ed to Judge Booth and then was taken to the prisoners section of the courtroom. He is said to have wife and family in Italy.

 States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald consented to the change and outlined the facts in the case to Judge Booth. He pointed out that many of the witnesses to be called by the state were of questionable character and that most of them were intoxicated at the time of the stabbing and their testimony was contradictory. He also mentioned the police record of Caruso, stating he had been arrested in New York twice for carrying concealed weapons and had been in a hospital as the. result of a stabbing.
