Curiosity Makes
kiefer Hust|eto
Tank Record
Wanted to Know How
Hot Was Miehigon's
Touted Holiday
BY LOU BLACK.

Associated Press Sports Writer.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 6.-It
any swimmer hopes to beat hand
some Adolph Kiefer, the greatest
backstroke star of all time, he'd
better not arouse the Chicagoan's
curiosity.
A highly touted University OF
MICHIGAN freshman, Harold Holiday
innocently did 1t. and what hap
pened should be 4 lesson to any
future Kiefer challenger.
Getting an idea that Holiday
might be q serious threat to his
long reign as the dorsal champion
the 1886 Olympic and meet title
holder climaxed Saturdays closing
sessions Of the three-day national
A. A. U. championships by twice
smashing his own world record over
the 150-yard distance, the second
time with q sensational sos effort
more than 2 seconds better than his
1896 standard.
Only Kiefer Not Surprised.
Several hours earlier, the 23-year-
,, old veteran of 81 A. A. u. title
triumphs had slashed $40 Of .
second OF his 1:327 and hardly
anybody expected another titantic
performance from him: that is, any
body but Kiefer, himself. who, II
seems, has quite q curiosity.
Even before the championships he
had been anxious to learn something
about Holiday, . great schoolboy star
at Mercersburg Academy last year
but couldn't get very far. When
Kiefer learned that Coach Mat
Mann thought 50 much Of Holiday
that he was entering him as power
full Michiganis sole representative
in the meet, the champion hardly
could contain himself.
So 1t was with . great deal OF
curiosity that Kiefer asked Holiday
about his time trials when finally
they met, only to be told BY the
Wolverine cub that, cit s q secret"
Holiday Does All Right.
Kiefer. masking his feelings, smiled
and drawled, ''yup, and it'll be .
secret after the final Is over" 1t
wasn't quite, for the husky dark
horse from Ann Arbor really Is good
He trailed the champion by yards
in f:3s& pt psd at all.
SO good was Kiefer's feat that 1t
overshadowed . stunning 81 seconds,
100-yard sprint by Bill Prev OF
Detroit. an aviation cadet on q
furlough. which equaled the world s
record held by Johnny Weismuller
and Peter Flick, and virtually every.
thing else In this spectacular meet.
Other highlghts, briefly. included
mighty Yale's winning the team title
with SO points in which none of the
30-odd other squads were even close !;
the crowning of 10 new champions; :;
doubles by Kiefer and Kiyoshi
Nakama, Ohio State freshman from
Hawaii and the smashing of various
records in six of the nine races, in
cluding couple Of relays.

lowed only four hits and no runs IN
the seven innings pitched against
the Cubs yesterday.

Good American Food
Follows Troops 10
Northern Ireland
Correspondent in War
Zone for ~ Years
Finds Meals Excellent
BY HELEN KIRKPATRICK,

by HELEN klRkPATRlCk,
Foreisn Correspondent Of The star and
chicaso Daily News.
SOMEWHERE IN NORTHERN
IRELAND WITH THE UNITED
STATES ARMY. May 32.-Tood
to American soldiers and foreign
correspondents is an extremely i'm
portant matter and 1t Is one in
which inclinations are definitely
nationalistic. 1t is not that the
Americans are not adaptable. They
are. but there always comes time
when the one thing they 'ong for
most Is a good American meal.
Except for the time when Amer
ican troops 60 into action and live
on iron rations, those over here
cannot complain. They may have
been sent on foreign service, but
their kitchens followed them. Here
where almost all food is rationed
the United States Government did
not want to deprive the residents
in any way. All the food consumed
by United States troops here, with
the exception of bread, comes from
the United States. And does IT
taste good to American correspond
ents, who have been in war zones
for the last ~ years.
The first mess we lunched IN was
a combined officers and mems mess.
Spaghetti with meat sauce, creamed
corn and buttered beets were the
main course. And strange to our
ewes was delicious apple butter. The
dessert was pineapple, the first
any of us had tasted in a long time
Our second lunch was IN the
officers mess, ambitiously named
"Cafe EXCEPTIONAL" after the ON
GERS favorite restaurant in Mime
apons. Braised beef, creamed corn,
potatoes, picked beets, applesauce
and real peanut butter were on the
menu, At this camp the officers
had a separate mess but the food
was the same in the mems mess.
Two American correspondents
were threatened with severe bilious
attacks after lunching on one OF the
transports which brought the troops
over. The sight Of ripe olives and
celery was like an oasis In the des-
ert. When salmon mayonaise came

Union Asks Congress
To Probe W. P. B. Unit
And Big Steel Firms
Production Sabotage
And 'StroneIine' Of
Small Plants Charged
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, May "a few
giant steel corporal tions" are blamed
by the United Steelworkers of
America for the industry's failures
to expand production, and for an in
adequate flow of steel products for
ships. 1t also charges they are
"strangling smaller firms to death. "
The c. I. O. union in its constitu-
tional convention adopted a resolu-
tion on "inadequacy of steel capac-
ity" demanding that Congress in
Vestigate "the work of the so-called
Steel Expansion Committee of the
War Production Board" which it as
serted "has sabotaged the order to
expand steel ingot capacity imme-
diately by 10000 900 tons"
Second Inquiry Asked.
A congressional inquiry also was
asked of 'fhe systematic manner in
which giant steel corporations are
eliminating and absorbing the small
er steel firms" from 'the viewpoint
of impeding vital steel war produc-
ton through industrial concentra-
ton.
1t claimed production of battle
ships, merchant vessels and "other
implements of war" had been de-
layed by the failure of the steel in
dustry to maintain an adequate flow
of important steel products and said
these delayed shipments and fail
ures to expand steel production are
directly attributable to the machina-
tions of few giant steel corpora
tionS."
Discussing the resolution, Harold
j. Ruttenberg, the unions research
director, said the ingot expansion
program will fail by so per cent"
and that there are 20 steel concerns
whose death dates have been set
by the large corporations.
Mr.. Ruttenberg told delegates "it
would take 27-day general strike
in the steel industry to do the
damage that has been done to the
war program by big corporations
diversion of steel to other than war
needs" and that 1T would take a
17-day general strike to do the
damage that has been done by hold
ing scrap for higher prices"
Criminal Neglect Charged.
The union asked the w. P. B. to
eliminate from its iron and steel
branch those dollar-a-year men"
or temporary personnel who are
responsible for this criminal neglect
to expand steel capacities" 1t pro-
posed that the union be given an
opportunity to share in an i'm

For Holmes County
War Saving Bonds
Citizens Urged To
Buy Stamps And

30lmes County's quoth for the

Of May is S41,20O. This is a quota
for you and me to buy War Savings
Bonds and Stamps to the limit Of
our ability. 1t isn't only a quota in
money says Mr.. Parham H. Williams,
chairman. 1t is also a quota in tanks
and guns, planes and ships, torpedoes
and bombs.
When the Treasury Department
sets a quota for any county in Am
erica, it tells us in effect that every
month we must buy dozen planes, or
a hundred tanks, or, if we're large
enough, a destroyer, a cruiser, or
even a battleship. Let's buy ever
more planes and tanks and guns
then the government asks us to buy.
Let's all pledge to buy as many
War Savings Bonds and Stamps as
we can afford-ten, fifteen, or twen-
ty percent Of our salaries or wages
set aside each payday to invest in
War Bonds and Stamps. Only by
doubling and TRIPPING u purchases
of these Bonds and Stamps will be
able to meet our quota. Come on,

and the whole world that America
means business.

Five Phase Program
Gets Under Way In
SeIedive Service
Employers, LondhoIders
and Others Asked To
Cooperate Now

A five phase rehabilitation pro-
gram for Selective Service regis
trants in Mississippi Wednesday was
announced by Major Lawrence
Long, Chief of the Medical Division
Of the State Selective Service Sys-
tenn.
Purpose of the program is to
rehabilitate the registrants for ell
Their service in the armed forces
or for duties in necessary war pro-
duction fields" Major Long explain
ed Governor johnson has request.
ed all employers landholders and
others in the state to lend their aid
in cooperating with the program as
it may be necessary to allow some
OF these registrants time off to at.
tend schools Of clinics to correct
their defects"
Fields covered by the rehabilita-
ton work include:
/. Illiteracy.
2. tuberculosis.
3. Vocational training.
4. Venereal diseases.
5. Physical and dental defects.
Cooperating in the illiteracy pro-
gram is the Mississippi Illiteracy
Commission. Registrars rejected
because of their education deficien-
cies are to be given proper training
along this line and made fit for Ell
ther military or some sort OF war
work. Schools will be started in
Bolivar and Yazoo Counties in the
next two weeks. Complete assistance
and cooperation of the Works Pro-
jects Administration under Director
@. Edward Gatlin has been assured.
With the need for men in the
various war industries Major Long
pointed out that the vocational
training program is providing men to
fill these gaps. The training of those
physically handicapped is underway
in various sections of the state, and
has received a good response from
those interested in some line OF
war work. Many of these are mac
tive cases of tuberculosis.
Stating that many registrants were
rejected for active military service
because of ~venereal disase the medi-
cal officer said treatments are now
being given thkm at government
expense.
"The rehabilitation of the ven
ereal disease group is proving sue
essful with more than 10000 cases
now ander treatment" Major Long
said.
Under the physical rehabilitation
program men with a disability which
renders them unsuitable for active
military service are being prepared
for medical and dental correction so
that they may be rendered fit for
entrance into military service.
