Costly Clothing
Principle Clue to
Victim of Assault

SEATTLE, Oct. 12.-(U.PD-The
costly clothing of pretty auburn
haired young woman, found crimin-
ally assaulted and strangled, was
modelled Tor newspaper photograph
ers as police today continued a
search for her identity.
Police also pondered the meagre
clue of an unfinished application
of fingernail polish, which they said
indicated the stylishly- dressed
woman might have been forced
from her room to enter the car in
which the brutal assault and stran-
gulaticn apparent occurred in a
South End residential district Sat-
urday night.
No handbag or means of identi-
fication were found when her body
was discovered by Mr. and Mrs. r.
H. Evans on return to their home
nearby The body, showing marks
of Strangulation and fully clothed,
was lying in the roadway where po-
lice concluded she had been thrown
from a speeding car.
Concluding that tn woman was
residing in Seattle, pChce sought to
identify her through publication of
pictures posed in her clothing by

Churchill Reports
Power TO Strike
AT Hitler GROWING

EDINBURGH, Oct. 12-(UP) -
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
declared today that Allied striking
power has grown remarkably and
that Adolf Hitler already sees be-
fore him the shadow of slowly and
remorSeleSsly approaching DOOM"
Churchill spoke at Great Usher
Hall.
He made no forecast as to when
the second front would be opened
against Germany but asserted the
day is coming" when accounts with
Germany will be settled.
Hitler's victories, said the prime
minister, have proved stepping
stones in ruin" while our defeats
are but stepping stones to victory"
U. S. Ambassador John G. Win
ant told the assemblagc that the
fate of the United Nations now
rests with the soldiers of democ-
racy.'
Churchill asserted:
That there had been solid and
remarkable developments in Allied
power in August and September and
that merchant shipping replace
ments now outWeight losses.
That Allied air superiority was in
creasing over the Axis powers, with
the greatest tonnage of bombs drop
ped on Germany during those
months.
That the greatest number" of
United States troops had arrived
in Britain during August and Sep
tember.
That RusSias armies, "unbeaten.
unbroken - nay, counterattacking"
are intact while the Germans are
whining under the repeated and
increasing impact of British bomb
ing"
That submarine warfare still was
the Allies greatest problem, but
there is no reason" why it should
not be solved by offenSe, defense
and replacement measures of Brit
ain, Canada, and the United States.
Warning that the United Nations
had reached a stern and somber
moment of the war, but emphasiz-
ing that the situation definitely
had improved in the last two
months.

which have been marked by sabo-
tage, widespread arrests, and eXecu-

of the General Foods Corp, which
produces about 120 Of the groceries
which are likely to appear in the
housewives daily list.
Food production is at the highest
level the Nation has ever known
Unless there is major drought
and there are no serious signs of one
at present-1942 should be the ban
ner year of American agriculture.
Rigid Economy Expected.
On the other hand, there has
never been so great a demand. The
population is increasing every year,
although at declining rate. During
the past year the birth rate has been
greater than normal. The more
mouths to feed, the more food is
necessary.
Folks eat more under war condi-
tions. The General Foods Corp.
figures indicate that a soldier eats
from two to three times as much as
a man at a desk or at fairly easy
machine job. A defense industry
worker on overtime eats about half
again as much as under normal con-
ditions. At least 10 per cent of the
total food produced Is being sent to
England and other allies. Moreover,
q reserve is being built up for the
rehabilitation of both conquered and
enemy countries after the war. So,
regardless of the abundance of
things to eat, rigid economy probably
Is unnecessary.
With such economy there Is an
ample supply of wheat, the staff OF
life. for two years. and of corn for
18 months-even in the face of an
unanticipated major agricultural
disaster Meat production is on the
increase and there Is no anticipation
at present Of "meatless days" such
as were necessary in the last war.
There appears to be a liberal supply
Of fruits and vegetables.
Variety Due for Curb.
But In the variety to which Amer
leans have been accustomed some
curtailment may be necessary. A
fair example is sugar. General Foods
Is one Of the largest sugar users in
the world. There are few prepared
foods into which it does not enter.
Especially it is essential In canned
fruits. General Foods is allowed 80
per cent of its 1941 supply under
present restrictions. They probably
will be lifted later. There is about as
much sugar available to the United
States as before the war. Only nerv-
GUS boarding can account for the
present alleged shortage.
The general public, says Verne E.
Burnett, vice president of General
Foods, probably never will notice the
sugar restrictions so far as pro-
cessed groceries" are concerned. A
good deal of the cane sugar may be
made up with dextrose from corn.
A few lines which consumed a great
deal of sugar but which were neither
Evening star., 1942-02-10

chocolate and for coconuts-espe-
cially since charcoal from coconut
shells Is essential for some types of
gas masks.
The major shortages are expected
in purely East Indian products
notably tea and tapioca. These,
however, may not be 50 serious as
has been expected. Some tea has
arrived since the declaration of war.
Ships carrying troops and supplies
to the East must have some sort Of
q return load. The Dutch, espe-
cially, are eager to pile everything
they have on board rather than al
low 1t to fall into the hands Of the
enemy.
AL sorts of groceries are packaged
in cardboard boxes and the card
board shortage is becoming critical
for the food professors. The major
reason is that enormous quantities
are required by the Army and Navy.
Shells have heavy wrappings. Nearly
all food delivered to the services is
in cardboard packages. Most OF
the food sent 10 Great Britai,l under
the lease-lend program is in card
board. The British need for 1t is
very great. Last year was the big
gest business year the food indus
tries have known and most Of the
reserve was used up.
Cardboard to Be Thinner.
Various means are being employed
to make up for the deficiency.
Packages for popular breakfast
foods, for example, are being made
with less. and thinner cardboard.
Up to now, said General Foods
official, "one Of these packages could
have been used for football with
out much chance OF being broken
open. Cardboard and paper were
cheap and we wanted to give the
public the utmost against any pos
sible contamination of the foods.
But, after all, we don't expect pack
ages of breakfast foods to be used
for footballs"
Wax paper wrappingS on the out
side probably will be dispensed with.
Cartons will be bigger. This makes
1t possible to get more food in less
paper. One of these operations
alone, it is calculated, will save 100
tons Of paper during the next year.
Extensive window and counter dis
plays will be done away with. They
required a great deal Of paper, much
Of which did not even bring any
advertising return.
Evening star., 1942-02-10

profitable nor essential may be dis
continued.
Probably the greatest impact of
the war on the processed foods in
duStries will be In tin and paper.
They are the largest tin users and
among the largest users of card
board. Tin, of course, will be almost
nil. There Is not, at present, any
entirely acceptable substitute.
Coffee Packing q Problem.
Take, for example, coffee. After
roasting it loses its flavor very
quickly if exposed to air. The So
called coffee gas" responsible for
coffee aroma, is one of the most
volatile gases known. So coffee not
only ic packed in tin cans from
which the air has been evacuated
but these are sealed with special
kind of cement, notable ingredient
of which is obtained from sea weed.
