A sharp reduction In the supply OF
tin cans posed fresh wartime prob
lem today for Americas housewives,
already facing sugar rationing. do
ing without silk hose and walking
to the store to save tires.
The War Production Board an
nounced that after March ! such
common products as pork and beans,
coffee, dog food. beer. tobacco and
oil must not be packed in timed
containers. Use Of tin cans for GER
tain secondary" and special" prod
ucts will be restricted to the 1910
output, and the manufacture OF
mall-size cans will be eliminated.
No limit was set, however, on the
use Of tin for preserving such per-
ishable products as imported fruits
and vegetables. tomato juice, milk
and fish.
Saves 1880 Tons Annually.
Tin Is on the list of critical metals
as a result Of the war in the Pacific
America customarily has obtained
most Of its tin from Malaga. w. p
B. experts estimated that the new
order would cut the use of tin by
can manufacturers as much as 40
per cent, saving at least $500 tons
q year.
Assurances that "the public need
have no fear that there will be any
shortage Of the essential food prod
ucts" came from Paul S. Willis, pres
ident of the Associated Grocery
Manufacturers Of America He said
that warehouse stocks of canned
goods were so large that the public
would not notice the effect of the
order for some time. Meanwhile,
research experts are working on SUBJ
stitute packaging methods, MIR
Willis said.
The secondary food products, cans
for which will be limited to last
years number, include apples
peaches, pineapples, prunes and
other fruits and vegetables not re-
garded as Of primary Importance
Special products covered by the or
der take in medical, chemical, dental
and industrial supplies.
Restrictions on Retreads.
The restrictions were placed on tin
at the end Of a day that saw re-
treaded and recapped tires put on a
rationing basis and the rubber con-
tent Of tires and other products
custailed sharply.
Administrator Leon Henderson
said so little crude rubber was avail

to buy new tires would be able tc

Miss ingalls, explained that as a
child she had German governess
but she had not tried to speak the
language much since.
Il know few cut-and-driec
phrases" she added, land I can

Miss Ingalls, said she spoke French
better than German.
The defense attorney took up the
Governments evidence that Miss In
gals was pro-Nad item by item.
Miss ingalls, denied that in Q
speech at Colorado Springs, Colo
she called the President that

F. B. I. agent testified. The defend
ant explained that she probably re-
ferred to Congress as stupid because
she felt that 1t was letting this coun-
try drift into war and every So
called peace measure passed wa

Says Britain Needed U. s.
Asked whether she had predicted
that Great Britain ultimately would
be defeated, Miss ingalls, replied:
without our help, yes. 1t was per-
fectly obvious, despite all the talk OF
q British invasion Of the continent
there would be none unless they got
an A. E. F."
At another point in her testimony
Miss ingalls, admitted she had told
audiences an invasion Of this coun-
try was not possible. Miss ingalls,
warming to the subject, went on en-
phatically:
"As Lindbergh said. the idea Of
direct invasion Of this country was
fantastic unless we were supine and
asleep. It was absolutely unthink-
able. This superstitous fear, this
creating Of Hitler as a superman
made me think Of Orson WelleS' re-
port of an invasion from Mars.
II don't say q bomber might not
come across and drop few stray
bombs. But you don't take q country
that way. You take 1t in the old
fashioned way, with infantry. and
said that II we had an adequate
Army and Navy and Air Force. Hit
ler could never take this country"
The Government rested its case
late yesterday. Among the docu-
ments which Prosecutor M. Neil
Andrews read to the jury during
the afternoon were copies Of several
letters assertedly written by Miss
ingalls, to Mr.. Thomson.
Two Of these letters closed with
the salutation: Hell Hitler"
Letters Are Quoted.
Some day, she wrote In one letter,
she would shout her admiration to
- great leader and . great people. I"
In another letter, dated April AZ,
1e41, Miss ingalls, was said to have
written DR.. Thomson excoriating
British Prime Minister Churchill as
"the great single menace to the
peace Of this country"
Miss ingalls,, according, to the
prosecutor, wrote the German envoy

to the latter event as q tribute Ito

Minister Makes Report
To Roosevelt; Predicts
New Job for HimmIer

Jan Masaryk, foreign minister OF
the Czecho-Slovakian government
in exile, reported to President
Roosevelt today that economic
sabotage within his Axis occupied
country has decreased its industrial
value to Germany by at least IS
per cent.
This form Of combating the Axis
has been particularly effective, Mr.
Masaryk told White House reporters
in the great Skoda munitions works
1t has been accomplished princi-
pally, he explained, by a showdown
in operations, difficult for German
overseers to detect or to combat.
The Czech onicial predicted there
will be changes in the German gov
ernment personnel in the near
future with Heinrich Himmler, pres
ent head of the Gestapo, slated to
succeed Wilhelm Prick as minister
Of interior. He said he believed
Reinhard Heydrich, who has been
gauleiter for the occupied Czech
territory, would become new chief
Of the Gestapo.
Mr.. Masaryk said between 900, 900
and 400 900 agricultural and semi
skilled industrial workers have been
moved from Czecho- o-Slovakia into
Germany for forced labor. He said
Czech soldiers are not being used in
the armed services in the protect
crate because we are considered
very unreliable-thank God"
German occupation forces at first
numbered approximately a quarter
of a million first-line troops. he said
but reserves and older men are now
being sent in for this purpose Both
the demands of the Russian cam
paign on German man power an6
whatever the devil has in mind in
the spring" are responsible for the
change. he added.
Mr.. Masaryk saw the President
Just before Gen. Alexander Repin
head of a Russian military supply
mission, was scheduled to visit the
White House. At luncheon con-
ference, the President was to dis
cuss Russian American interest with
Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet Ambassador
Speaking through an interpreter
Gen. Repin told White House re-
porters that he had come to discuss
problems Of military supply and
that his conversation with the
Chief Executive had been cordial
and helpful"
"The main question discussed
he said, was the problem of supply
ing military equipment to the Soviet
Union by this country in practical
way"
Late in the afternoon the Presi-
dent was to meet with civilian and
ofricial radio authorities, including
Chairman James L. Fly OF the Fed
eral Communications Commission
Admiral Leigh Noyes and Maj. Gen
Dawson Olmstead, service members
of the Defense Communications

discussed the war casually with the
doctor last spring.
Calls Hitler's Work Wonderful"
The physician. she said, expressed
admiration for the efficiency Of the
Germans and she said she thought
this indicated "a detached viewpoint
which was admirable in an Ameri-
can" She indicated she may have
told him Adolf Hitler had helped the
German people.
Il do think it's wonderful what
Hitler has done for the German
people" Miss ingalls, said.
Did you say that what America
needed was a Hitler?" her attorney
asked.
Miss ingalls, denied that she made
such q statement.
The defense attorney paved the
way for her testimony by calling to
the stand at the outset Of today's
session Daniel T. Mclaughlin, an
agent for the Federal Bureau Of
Investigation. He identified a state
ment which Miss ingalls, dictated
at the bureau last December 18. q
few short hours before she was for
mally placed under arrest.
Sought Place in F. b. I.
Mr.. Reilly read the entire state
ment to the jury before putting
Miss ingalls, on the stand. In the
statement, Miss ingalls, explained
that she had been trying since
1899, when the war broke out in
Europe, to persuade the F. B. I. to
give her a job as a counter-espion-
age agent. but her offers had been
rejected, with the explanation that
no women were employed for. this
work.
The statement went on to explain
that, since the F. B. /. would not
employ her, she decided to do some
investigating on her own hook and
went to see DR.. Thomson. In the
statement she admitted receiving
sums of money from members OF the
Embassy staff while on a speaking
tour for the America First Commit
tee, but insisted her motive was
patriotic and she was trying to ex-
pose the inner workings of the Na1
espionage system.
Taking the stand, Miss ingalls,
said she was born in New York City
and now owned home in Bur-
bank, Calf. Her parents, she said,
were born in New England, and her
forebears had settled in Lynn,
Mass, and Rhode Island. For IL
years she had been an aviatrix.
Tells About Aerial Career.
ct always wanted to do something
different" Miss ingalls, said. II de-
Iberately went into acrobatic flying
because I consider it important. It
is the basis Of all combat flying and
it has always been questioned
whether woman could do such
work"
Miss ingalls, told the jury of max
ing the first transcontinental round
trip flight by a woman and of q
record breaking 1900 mile flight
around South America on which
she became the first woman to fly
the Andes. She said she still held
the transcontinental record for Q
plane of certain type.
II wanted to prove" she added,
that women could do something
in war besides sitting on the side
lines"
So enthusiastic did Miss Ingalls,
become as she went into her flying
achievements, that Justice James w.
Morris interrupted to suggest that
she get back to the matters at
issue.

elimination as undesirable hazards
now" of all the 'inf1ationary

"holdevers" from early days OF the
New Deal.
Mr.. Landon expressed confidence
that the Presidents blue print Of
war production" can be accom-
plished, declaring that those in the
Axis countries attempting to laugh
off" the program "are whistling
through the graveyard in the dark" :"
In paying tribute to Lincoln, Mr..
Martin declared that he was q
victorious leader because he subor-
dinated everything to the cause Of
winning the war and the preserva-
ton of the Union, adding, THE
spirit of Lincoln must be the spirit
Of America today"
He asserted that no opposition
party ever has given more complete
support than the Republicans now
are giving President Roosevelt,

fully that unless we win the war
there will be no parties"

beauty" comments DR.. Wilson, but had the
modern X-ray been available 10 Praxiteles

he would have been able TO find under her
flowing grace and curves a tilted pelvis
twisted spine and other distortions Of human
architecture because of the way she is stand
ing"
AS the Greek goddess of love Venus I'M
doubtedly had her charms. But from the
modern standpoint of good health, the famous
statue Of her is way off base.
In that statue she stands with all her
weight on her right leg and with the left
knee fexed. Her shoulders slope TO the right
and her body gets that old IS" curve in IT,
In fact, Praxiteles liked to have all his
models stand that way and even today in
art schools the students learn to identify the
"Praxteles curve" with the general outline
of the letter IS" AS curve it's one hundred
per cent art. In health it's zero.
Here's what comes of standing Venus-like
on one leg, according to Or. Wilson:
The first and most obvious result Of stand
ing on one leg is a tilt in the polvis which
causes strain in the muscles of the back
This creates a condition favorable 10 a twist
in the lumbar vertebrate, and the hip and the
right side become more prominent by being
pushed back while the left is pushed forward.
What should be the horizontal left to right
plane Of the pelvis is raised 10 the right. The
back to front plane is raised at the back,
increasing the tilt, and the vertical plane is
rotated backward on the right"
Along with the foot-sitters and the one
leggers there are two other major offenders
against good posture among women says
Dr. Wilson. These are the sclf-conscious tail
girls and the girls with ovcr-dcvelopcd busts
Height cannot be camounaged by assum-
ing a stopped stance" cautions Dr. Wilson
"On the contrary, attention is focused on
height by an ugly slouching position. La
standing erectly, however, the whole figure
takes on symmetry and height therefore
lends a stately appearance.
The same principle applies in the case
of girls who try TO hide the size Of their busts
by rouEding their shoulders. Besides the III

Men like Professor
Wallace NJ. Pearson, Of
the Kirksville (Mo) Col
lege OF Osteopathy and
Surgery, have gone even
further. They have used

exactly what happens to
the human spine when
you sit on one foot. Re-
porting his work, Pro.
fessor Pearson said:
Effects Of the foot
sitting were clearly evil

child sitting on her right
foot showed the pelvic
bone raised on the left
side and the spine bend

a young person, whose

diligence in this habit
will stretch the muscles
and tissues on one side
of the lower spine, pro-
duce a pelvic twist, and
this causes the body 10

Distortions like these
may cause spinal LESSONS,
adds Professor Pearson,
