1.-THE charges made by O'Neil
that the Akron labor situa-
ton is a disgrace to the nation
are so far-fetched as to be ridi-

create that disunity which Hit
Ter so badly wants." Dalrymple
said.
The union leaders statement came
as a reply to charges of strikes and
slow-downs made by O'Neil to a
group of newspapermen touring
Akron rubber plants under the aus
pices OF the Natl. Assn. Of Manu-

plants was directed against the

Weed Diet Suggested
In Case War Causes

DR.. Carver Tuskeeee
Chemursist, Offers
Unusual Recipes
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TUSKEGEE, Ala, Feb. To-
There's no need for America to
90 hungry" says DR.. George Wash
ington Carver, Tuskegee Institutes
noted chemurgist, as long as nature
provides weeds and wild vegetables
which serve not only as food but
as medicine"
DR.. Carver doesn't depend on
chemical analysis alone to deter
mine the eating qualities of a wild
plant-he's an expert at cooking
up delectable dishes from dande-
lions, sorrell and other weeds"
Those uncultivated plants often are
more nutritious than their garden
cousins, says the aged colored SCI
enlist.
He has prepared many recipes Tor
cooking wild plants which he be-
lieves would be valuable In the
event wartime economy forced q
shortage OF canned and green vege-
tables.
There's DR.. Carver's recipe for
sour grass pie. It's made from
ordinary sour grass weeds, known
to the average farmer as sheep
sorrell.
Take the sour grass leaves and
tender stems, wash clean and cook
in a little water until tender; pass
through a fine sieve to remove hard
stems. Thicken, if necessary, with
a little -four and bake with upper
and lower crust.
DR.. Carver whips up tasty dish
from wild rhubarb and pig" weeds.
It's cooked in the same manner as
spinach. Then there's the pepper
grass weed which grows wild In
nearly every back yard and garden.
It may be cooked or used raw In
a salad.
Poke "salate," another widely
found weed, makes excellent pickles
and is particularly delicious when
prepared like creamed asparagus,
DR.. Carver says.
He has numerous recipes using
the common dandelion as principal
ingredient. Wild lettuce and wild
primrose also form dishes on DR..
Carver's menu.

Press Group Decries Navy
Silence on Sub Snkings
1y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 10.-The
New Jersey Press Association crit
icised last night the Navy Depart
ment's treatment of news Of naval
activity, particularly its refusal to
release accounts of anti-submarine
measures off the Atlantic Coast.
The association protested that the
Navy's attitude of no news Is
hurting the morale of Americans.
The resolution set forth that the
Navy reported with glee" the sink
ings of Japanese transports and
warships by the combined efforts OF
Dutch and American Asiatic fleets
but remained silent on the battle
of the Atlantic. 1t said:
Rather than striking fear into
German families whose men may be
on submarine duty IN the Atlantic,
this attitude of no news is hurting
the morale of Americans, for they
are becoming convinced that the
Navy is falling down on its job and
Is therefore loathe to admit that it
cannot prevent the ravages Of Nazi
subs.
1--WE maintain that it is more i'm
portant to strengthen the morale
OF the American people by giving
them the truth from all theaters Of
war than to hold to the nebulous
hope that our silence will be dam
aging to the Germans who will not
know Of any U-boat losses unless
their government chooses to inform
them"

Major Reorganization Hinted as Under Way
In O. G. D. BuiIiwick of Mrs. Roosevelt

Dorthy experience he has in thus

Jonathan Daniels, author Of "A
Southerner Discovers the South"
and "A Southerner Discovers New
England" is-up to now-not will
ing to tell what he has discovered at
the Off1ce Of Civilian Defense.
Pointing out that he arrived on
the scene Just one week ago today
as director Of program planning,
Mr.. Daniels cordially invited a re-
porter to come back in a week"
He implied that major reorgan1-
zation is in progress within Mrs.
Roosevelt's domain in o. c. D.
The same hint was thrown out
by Mrs. Mary Dublin, who two
weeks ago became head Of the new
Survey Division there. Declining
details about the operation Of her
unit, she asked that newspapers
not come in with hatchet" until

To prOye what 1t can do.
Competent Staff Forecast.
Mr.. Daniels emphasized that his
planning body is not anxious to
duplicate planning of other Govern
ment agencies, and Mrs. Dublin en-
phasized that her surveys will not
duplicate existing surveys. The lat
ter said she is hiring staff Of very
well qualified people mot dilet-
tantes." BY the middle OF next
week she expects to be able to name
them. Mr.. Daniels would not dis
cuss hiring and firing.
Representative Wigglesworth, Re-
publican, Of Massachusetts, ques-
toned Defense Director La Guardia
about Mrs. Dublin's appointment
during a recent appropriations sub
committee hearing. Mr. La Guardia
furnished information that she was
hired at $500.
Mrs. Dublin told a reporter that
during the year previous to her ap-
pointment she earned about $4,000
from survey work with the House
Committee on Defense Migration,
from a lecture tour, and from Job
as general secretary to the National
Consumers League. She was trained
at the London School of Economics
and Columbia University.

Increased recreation needs for the
District because of the pressure Of
war population and Government
withdrawal of facilities were reit-
Grated yesterday at meeting Of
more than $50 social workers and

The occasion was the February
meeting of the Council of Social
Agencies. James v. Bennett, direc.
tor of the Bureau OF Prisons and
council board president, presided.
Milo F. Christensen warned
against confusing the instinct to
play with fads like fan dancing,
pink teas and boondoggling.
Thomas s. Settle, secretary Of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, summarized District
recreation needs as:
I. Maintenance of healthy minds
and bodies for defense.
q More recreation areas.
3. Passage Of the Hunter Recrea-
ton bill.
Deploring the lack of recreation
facilities, made worse by Govern
ment Communicating Of play spaces
for defense purposes, Harry s.
Wender, vice president Of the Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Associations,
declared: Before long there won't
be any recreation facilities at all"
The long struggle for passage Of
the Hunter bill now awaiting Senate
action was mentioned by Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle, president of the
Board of Education. She added
funds were necessary to expand the
present program.
Personnel problems arising for Gov
eminent employees due to crowded
living conditions here were described
by Miss Ruth Prosky Of the once

Government employees may have
the o. c. D. furore in the House
to thank for the fact that their

ened to 48 hours as a war emer-
gency measure.
In reporting out the first de-
ficiency bill which stirred the row
over the defense agency, the House
Appropriations Committee recon-
mended the extra hours to help
solve the personnel, housing and
office problem.
The proposal was OVERLOOKED, how
ever, in the heat Of the o. c. D.

attention yesterday just before the
bill passed, when Chairman Cannon
of the Appropriations Committee
told his colleagues that they had
been so engrossed that mo one has
risen to discuss that important
recommendation"
The hint, however, was ignored.
Many agencies now are on a A.

0. T.. D. Row Shifts
To Senate Along With
$1Oo,000,O00 Bill
House Passes Measure
After Refusing Funds
For Dances and Shows

The row in Congress over the
appointment of Melvyn Douglas,
movie actor, and Mayris CLANCY,
dancer-protege of Mrs. RooSe-
velt, to posts in the Office of Ci-
william Defense today moved over
70 the Senate, along with the
deficiency appropriation bill car
rying $100,000,000 for the o. C. D.
Climaxing two days of bitter de-
bate, in which leaders promised an
inquiry into "boondoggling" in the
defense agency, the bill was passed
late yesterday by the House which
voted to retain an amendment
offered by Representative Leland
Ford, Republican, of California, pro-
hibiting use of the funds Ito promote,
produce or carry on instructions or to
direct instructions in physical ftne SIS
by dancers, fan dancing, street
shows, theatrical performances or
other public entertainment"
Miss CLANCY Is on the o. C. D.
payroll as head of a division on
children's activities dealing with
physical fitness, at $4,000 annually.
Mr.. Douglas heads the newly-created
arts division, but there are conflict
ing reports from the o. c. D. as to
whether he is to get $4,000 year or
subsistence pay only.
Disney Funds Also Prohibited.
At any rate, the Ford amendment
does not affect the pay status of
either, as the o. G. D. has personnel
funds from the Office of Emergency
Management.
Along with the Ford amendment,
the House adopted another by Rep
reeentative Wigglesworth, Repub-
1ican, Of Massachusetts,, prohibiting
the Treasury Department from
paying out $4,000 for Walt Disney
movie showing Donald Duck paying
his income tax. The vote sustain
ing this amendment was 259 to 112,
but only voice vote was taken on
the Ford amendment. The bill also
passed in its entirety without a
record vote.
The measure goes to the Senate
Appropriations Committee, where
an effort may be made to discard
the two amendments, whose prac-
tical effect-in view of the fact that
the o. c. D. is using o. E. M. funds
is only to emphasize House dis
pleasure at the o. G. D. activities.
The Wigglesworth amendment
also cut $85 900 from Treasury funds
for increased personnel in the di-
vision of personnel and legislative
counsel's Office.
Senate Approval Predicted.
House members predicted the
Senate would concur in the amend
ments, which had been adopted
tentatively last Friday, but action
was likely to be deferred until next
Monday. Congressional leaders ar
ranged to do little work this week
because many Republicans had ar
ranged to make Lincoln Day
speeches Thursday throughout the
country.
AS the bin stands now, the appro-
priation limits o. G. D. employment
to the procurement of f1re-f1ghting
material, gas masks and the like.
In its entirety, the bill carries $780,
412,611.

fense:
