resentatives of the State Depart
ment who had boarded the ship at
Rio de Janeiro.
Shortly afterward, the disembark-
ment of the Canadians began.
Passing through the port through
joint arrangements with Canadian
authorities, they were not available
for interviews. They were removed
to buses and taken to waiting trains,
to 60 to Montreal.
The Canadians were not subjected
to the two-hour panel examination
by Army, Navy, FBI and immigra-
ton of1cials. The others had to
go through it, however. and through
the routine customs inspection. A
naval official said it was possible
nevertheless, at the rate of about
100 passengers an hour, to have all
OF them off by midnight

Charles H. Whitaker, former vice
consul at Manila. and his family,
including 2-month-old infant born
aboard the japanese exchange ship
Teia Maru before it reached Nor
mugao, Portuguese East India, to
transfer passengers to the Grip
sholm.
The child was the youngest pas
senger aboard the ship. The oldest
was believed to be DR.. Edwin E..
Aiken, "a, missionary from Lynn,
Mass
The Whitaker family-including
Mrs. Whitaker, a 4-year-old son
and a 3-vear-old daughter, went
Immediately to the Red Gross desk.
A naval official said authorities
would look with disfavor on any
stories of alleged atrocities and
guarrilla warfare in the interest of
Americans still remaining in Ihe
Orient.
The scene at the pier as the gang
plank went down was quiet one.
Few relatives had appeared, mindful
OF a governmental injunction to stay
away for security reasons.
The Red Cross served as co-ordina-
ter of all personal arrangements OF
passengers and estimated that about
400 would require assistance, and
money for transportation would be
needed by about 625.

agents were ready at the dock to
issue ration books to all Americans.
The ship arrived one day short of
three months since it departed with
japanese nationals who were ex-

They were brought to Mormugao
on the japanese liner Teia Maru.
which left its home port September
Is and picked up the Americans at
ports in China, the Philippines and
Indo- China. The Gripsholm's only
port of call on the return voyage
was at Rio de Jaaleiro, where she
docked November Is.
The Gripsholm, flying the yellow
and blue colors of neutral Sweden
and with the Swedish flag painted
on its decks, travelled under a safe
conduct guarantee from all belliger-
ents. 1t was ablaze with light at
night.
1t was the second such voyage
for the Gripsholm. which last year
brought home from the Orient

Fleming Says Postwar
Building Must Halt
Threat Of Depression
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Dec. America must
make good" war-created public
works deficiencies "at a time when
it will contribute most to general
recovery-immediately after hostili-
ties cease" Maj. Gen. Philip b
Fleming, administrator of. the Fed
eral Works Agency, said today.
"Of course, the deficiencies
eventually will be made good,' he
said. Our principal concern is to
see that they are made good at a
time when it will contribute most
to general recovery, and that time
will be Immediately after hostilities
cease, when private industry must
shift gears, lay off the men and wom-
en- who have been working ON war
production and retool for peacetime
production"
In a speech to the American As
sociation of State Highway Officials,
Gen. Fleming said, Unfortunately
the tendency in America has not
been to build in times of depression,
but in boom times. That has been
true both of government and of
private interests.
Must Reverse Old Trend.
Thus. construction usually helps
to intensity the boom, but it also
competes with other forms of busi-
ness for men and materials. Our
problem Is to reverse the his
toric tendency: to get construction
started in time to head off any
danger Of depression"
Reconversion, Gen. Fleming add
ed, has been oversimplified in the
minds of many
1T involves retooling, and this, in
turn, involves much more than TAX
ing out the production ma
chimes and putting the old machines
back in place" he stated. IN many
cases the old machines have been
ground up for scrap and no longer
exist. To considerable extent the
conversion of plants manufacturing
for the consumer market will have
to wait on the reconversion of the
machine tool industry.
These facts provide, I be-
lieve, a sufficient commentary on
optimistic dreams of great boom
to follow Immediately the armistice
For what will there be that the
average consumer can buy on that
happy day? OF the entire list of
commodities which consumers nor
mally purchase, there will be less
next year than this year, and even
less the year after that, even If the
German phase Of the conflict ends
within six months"
Can't Count on Boom.
Savings In the form of War bonds
will not necessarily create boom
times, he said
If savings alone make for boom
there should have been a buying
splurge in 1919 and 1920, but there
wasn't" he commented. "On the
contrary. spending was abnormally
low in those two years in relation to
income. No doubt this was because
people were being cautious.
There is every reason to expect
that they will be even more prudent
after this war If the Gallup poll is
correct in its report that the growing
preoccupation Of workers generally
at this time revolves around the
question, viii there be a job for me
after the warp"

Use Ripe Olives
To Stretch Foods

Nobody's letting the lack OF
sugar or any other rationed food
throw a damper on plans for
occasional entertaining. one
sweet in dessert form should be
enough to satisfy any normal
urge for sugar. Perhaps we'll
even be healthier at the end of
this war. with the exchange of
other sources Of food energy for
the vitaminless white sugar:
we've been eating too much of
1t, anyway. Such wholesome
foods as ripe olives give us an
example OF a fruit rich in salts
flying food energy. Ripe olives
carry a good supply of needed
minerals and Of vitamin A, as
we'll.
For your party pans, depend
on savory entrees of meat, sea
food or cheese, and accompany
ing relishes of ripe olives and
beet or mustard pickles. The
amount of meat that goes into
the entree can be thriftily cut in
various ways. You can lower
cost and add flavor at the same
time by making use of chopped
ripe olives. The ready prepared
chopped form is convenient. Let
ripe olives take the place of a
generous portion Of meat. They'll
give your favorite spaghetti, corn,
or rice casserole a satisfying
savory quality that will help
eliminate any prewar desire for
many sweets,

Old cookbooks are at premium
nowadays. Grandmothers' and
great-grandmothers' hand written
books have come out of corners,
and church" cookbooks have come
down from the upper shelf. and are
being searched for ideas which may
be adapted to meat ration require
ments. Many books of this type
have rather vague directions, but
little testing and experimenting may
produce practical recipe. The best
housekeepers famous for their good
cooking were always generous with
their contributions to the book
which was to be sold for the benefit
of the church or the society.
Eastern Pennsylvania is one OF
the most fertile fields for this sort
Of material. AS all of you who read
this column know, this Is the sec
ton where my mother and her
ancestors lived. From her French,
English and German forbears, a fine
cookery was developed.
In looking over material from my
own family records and from other
books from Pennsylvania, I have
found several recipes which I had
not adapted to modern practices,
and which are useful today. There
is molasses pie, for instance, which
takes very little sugar 1t is more
elaborate than the Shoe Fly pie
which have printed before in this
column. Then. there is 4 Pennsyl-

the present quarter. Iceboxes can
be bought without q Government
permit. Soap flakes and az
hours OF good scrubbing are used
by the women employed at Army
airf1elds to wash the parachute
canopies for flyers. These canopies
get dragged in the dust at times
and otherwise get soiled when jumps
are made. so painstaking care and
lots Of suds must be used to bring
them back to snowy cleanliness.

Four hundred tons Of broom corn
have been released for the manu-
facture OF brooms for military, ci-
william and industrial use. The Fed
eral Prison Industries, Inc, made
the broom corn available, since its
supplies were ample until the next
crop comes in, says WPB. Well
you know the old one about new
brooms sweeping clean. The

fore, you'll do best, as far as your
budget goes. If you select the very
excellent and inexpensive fish
from nearby waters. Newcomer this
month is fresh swordfish--a good
buy because Of its fne flavor and
lack of bones.
In the produce line, there's plenty
Of everything, but prices are very
high on the majority of items. This
is especially true of fruits, with those
from the West Coast leading the
upward trend. Honeyballs and
cherries, while of superior quality,
are selling at luxury prices, and
even cantaloupes are expensive, and
not as tasty as they might be.
Strawberries from New Jersey are
almost too ripe-they should be used
as soon as possible after purchasing.
Red and black raspberries, black
berries, peaches, rhubarb, plumS and
Cuban pineapples are recommended
Specially stores are offering some
superb nectarines to customers who
can pay the price. Watermelons are
definitely for the carriage trade"
With the exception of onions and
lima beans, vegetable supplies are
substantial. Good peas are a little
higher than last week, but snap
beans remain reasonable, as do
most of the green's. More broccoli
is coming in now, to supplement the
waning supply Of asparagus and
eggplants have reappeared this
week. Fine. full-podded okra: fair
tomatoes, good squash of various
kinds and big, firm heads of cabbage
are good buys. Plenty Of potatoes
around this week, too. All ingredi-
ents for the salad bowl are avail
able at reasonable prices, and in
clude green peppers, red radishes,
Iceberg and Boston lettuce, spring
onions and cucumbers.

Here and There: One Of the
largest food chains is starting a
new and very helpful system in its
stores. Green traffic lights" will
mark items that are nonrationed
and should help the housewife to
get through her marketing in a
much shorter time than it usually
takes. A quick glance at the go
ahead" signal will take the place of
anguished searching through lists of
rationed and nonrationed food
stuf1s. Some increase In the
production Of garbage and ash cans
has been provided for by WPB's
recent action revising manufac-
turers' quotas Of iron and steel which
may be used. Kerosene and gasoline
storage cans needed on farms may
be made. too. WPB also has
increased the number Of iceboxes
which may be manufactured during
