 USES VERDICTS

Decision of the USES review unit in three cases involving requests for statements of availability were upheld by the War Manpower Com- mission following appeal hearings last night. Two of them were cases of employers who claimed the USES erred in issuing job-transfer state ments, and the other of an employe who had been denied one.
 The area labor-management com- mittee and WING director ruled the two Lssuances which were contested were clear-cut cases under the stab- ilization plan and the USES were right in approving the employees re- quests. One of the workers had been given statement because the employer was unable to make use of the highest skill, and the other was successful in a petition based on health.
 The employees appeal was found to be based on reasons which are insufficient under the stabilization plan, and his case was dismissed.

Synthetic
 Beefsteok

St. Louis, Ang. 6j(UP)-Synthet- ic beefsteak is one of several meat and other food eXtenders produced from high-protein type of yeast that Anheuser, Busch, Inc, is deliv ering to the Army and the Lend Lease administration, a company of- ficial announced today.
 Cost of the synthetic beefsteak is only one-fifth that of natural beef and will satisfy most palates. But to call these products substitutes for sirloin steaks is being bit flowery,' declared Arthur Weber, head of the companys yeast department. "Our product has the same amount of nutrition, however, and can be com pared to the steak so far as value is concerned"
 It is predicted that production of the new substances will be contin- ued after the war with an eye to putting cheap, vitamin -fuIed tood on postwar tables. At present, the brewery products are not being made for retail use.
 The end product, in its uncooked form, is dry light brownish pow der. It has a meaty, nutty or celery flavor, depending on the variety. AS yet the meat" is unnamed.
 In making the synthetic steak yeast is mixed with water and mo- lasses. This mixtures is treated with ammonia which converts the yeast to protein. During the process, air is stirred into the substance and F hours later the ersatz meat is the result.
 Dr. Carl c. Lndegren perfected the process at Washington univer- sity, St. Louis. while working on an Anheuser-B Busch fellowship.

are larger than in all 1912 al
though he had been quite success
full last year."
