disbanded, soldiers carried home a
hunger for the goober. Peanut pro-
duction increased annually from
200 to 300 per cent for years.
1t was P. T. Barnum who started
the peanut on its social career by
introducing it hot-roasted to the cir
Gus crowds.
But it remained for the late DIR.
George Washington Carver. the un-
assuming Negro scientist of the Tus-

depredations of the boil weevil. DR..
Carver urged: down with king cot
ton; plant peanuts instead. When a
peanut glut resulted. the wizard of
the Laboratories found for the legume
over 300 uses. The shells were put
to work in making bedding and plas-
tics. Today cotton's substitute crop
is a $50. .OOO. 900 industry.

chopped peanuts creamed and

is to add peanuts to scalloped-vege-

Protein-Supplsment
1EsTs prove peanut flour can be
mixed into meat loaves, into cro-

ment their protein. For example,
mix II pound of peanut flour with
u pound of ground round and it
gives pound of meat loaf. eight per
cent higher in protein than loaf
all meat; and the cost is less.
The South American Indians were

cultivate and use
the peanut as a
food. Early ex-
plorers carried
the legume into
Africa. Slave
ships of Colonial
days carried pea

America as food

Ruling that persons overcharged
on price-ceiling goods are not en-

from the proprietor, the Municipal
Court of Appeals today affirmed the
decision of the lower court which
denied the suit for $50 brought
by Miss Patricia Hall, 22-year -old

The opinion, written by Judge Ma

Power Director J. A. Krug
probably will be named program
vice chairman of the War Pro-
duction Board and chairman of
its powerful Requirements Com
mittee, succeeding to the post
recently vacated by Ferdinand
Eberstadt, 1t was learned today.
While Mr.. Krug was understood
to have been offered the post, final
decision will be made at this aft
ernoon's meeting of the WPB. If
given the new position, Mr.. Krug
will retain the power job. It was
said he made retention Of power
control a condition of acceptance Of
the vice Craftsmanship.
1t was understood that the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Krug as mate
rials vice chairman was favored by
Army and Navy officials as well as
by WPB. In the new position, how
ever, he will report directly to the
WPB executive vice chairman,
Charles E. Wilson, rather than to
Chairman Donald NJ. Nelson as Mr..
Eberstadt did This is another in
the steps to streamline WPB, plac-
ing Mr.. Wilson in charge OF all op-
irrational functions and leaving Mr..
Nelson free TO deal only with policy

investigation today into the
prosecution of George Sylvester
Viereck, whose conviction for

fore the Pearl Harbor attack was

the Justice Department and asking
appointment of committee to de-
termine the expense Vierick incur

toward compensating him for his

he spent in Jail.
Senator LANCER praised yester-
days 5-to-2 Supreme Court deci-
sion reversing Viereck's conviction
saying the court refused to be car
ried away by war hysteria." He
added that whatever relief Congress
may be able to give Viereck will be
inadequate" to wipe out the wrong

sentence on his conviction a year
ago, would be released from the

the other hand, the innocent should
not be swept into court with the

The Court Of Appeals expressed
the belief that many storekeepers

Newman last November 20 awarded
Miss Hall IS cents, the difference

Confusion Rife
On All Clear
In Raid Drill
First DoyIight Test
Clears Streets for
10Minutes

Washington's first daytime test
under the Army's new signals
this afternoon cleared the streets
for 10 minutes successfully, but
left most people on downtown
streets wondering when the all
clear would come.
The public heard its first warning
the blue" signal at 2:l5 pm, ID
minutes after the confidential
warning. At 2:30, the red warn
ing was sounded At 2:4O, the Sec
ond blue" signal was sounded.
The all-clear signal was given at
ESQ, but the only people who knew
1t were those who had access to
radios and In some cases, police.
Since the new signals went in
effect the all-clear signal is no
longer sounded on the siren. During
a blackout this is not as great a
problem since the turning on of
street lights is considered a suf :
ficiently widespread notification that
the theoretical danger of enemy
planes. has passed.
Employees Notified.
People walking on downtown
streets had no way of knowing that
the All-clear had been sounded. Oc-
casionally storekeepers who had kept
their radios on went out on the
street to notify their employees, serv-
Ing as wardens or auxiliary police,
to come back to work.
A newsstand dealer. when asked
how he would know when the 'all
clear" order had been given, asserted
he thought the second long whistle
blast tactually the second blue) was
the all-clear signal.
A hotel doorman on the other
hand said another siren would be
blown for the all clear.
When an officer at a downtown
corner was asked by several people
when the all clear was coming
about 10 minutes after the signal
had been officially recorded. he said
It was not necessary to know that
In the daytime.
Omcials returning from their tour
OF the downtown section said police
in scout cars had notified some OF
their auxiliaries the All-clear had
been given and that In other cases
people could listen to the radio.
Result Called Excellent.
The returning officials, including
Acting Civilian Defense Director
Porter Lumpkins, said they consid-
cred the test excellent. Mr.. Lump
kins reported that the streets were
cleared less than a minute after the
red" signal and that he had found
only two streetcars and one cab
where passengers remained within
the vehicle on the red" signal.
Other observers on downtown
streets. however, noticed that of four
streetcars and q bus drawn up
around Thirteenth and F streets
NV, passengers left only one
streetcar and bus.
