still offered no comment on
charges Of the Senate Truman
committee that army officers had
abetted CurtiSS-Wnght in selling
defective aircraft equipment TO

The Justice department re-
vealed that its Investigations
were begun seven weeks ago
when the committee first handed
over its bill Of particulars against
Curtlss. accusing the company Of
selling motors that leaked gaso-
line and had other faulty parts.
The Truman report, first made
public this weekend, said faulty
equipment turned out by the
Lockland (OD plant of Wright
Aeronautlcal Corp Curtiss-
Wright subsidiary, passed inspec-
ton tests because the company
had falsified reports and forged
tests. and that some army officers
abetted the company in these
practices.

Avoid Monotony


As the variety Of foods grows less.
meals are likely to become a triie on
the tiresome side. Monotony discour-
ages appetite, and poor appetite cuts
down on efficiency. Get out of the
cooking rut by serving those day-in-
and-day-out foods a little different
each time.
Try baking those eggs with cheese or
chill sauce. or serve creamed, chopped
hard-cooked eggs over steamed rice. A
dash Of paprika, few drops Of meat
sauce, that ever-faithful onion or an
iota of spice work wonderful changes
in an ordinary dish.
Macaroni and cheese can be varied no
end by adding sauteed chopped onion,
celery or green pepper or by pointing
up the flavor with tomato or chill
sauce. a sprinkling Of sage or garlic salt.

Meal Planning

The pace we've set for ourselves on
the home front makes il doubly inn
portant that we get our full quota of
health and energy giving vitamins.
minerals. proteins and other food essen
tials. 1t takes bit of maneuvering so
precious vitanins are not sacrificed.
That's where simple. working knowl-
edge of nutrition pays dividends. Ifyou
have more than flavor acquaintance
with foods :. il you know what each
contributes to the well being Of the
family. then it is a simple matter of
nutritional calculation to know what
requirements to make on the menu.
For instance. if you've used your quota
Of meat for the time. then you can
build your menu around other protein.
rich foods such as eggs. cheese. dried
beans and -. fish or fowl. Down
through the menu you can go replac-
ing those limited foods with more
plentiful ones which contribute the

NEGRO NEWSPAPERS

Writing in a recent issue of the New Republic,
Thomas Sanction, southern white journalist, stated
that when the average white person first reads
Negro newspaper he feels as if someone had thrown
"a bucket of water in his face. The white reader is
startled to find out that the Negro people have IN
innate knowledge of all the double-deaing and n.y.
pocrisy byswhich the principle of white supremacy
is maintained and practiced, even within government
The average white is disturbed by the nsistence OF
the Negro writers on the practical application OF the
eouatarian ideals which are expressed in the Dec
laration of Independence in the Constitution OF the
country and in other documents which are the foun-
dation stones of our democracy.
For the first time in life, this new white reader
sees Negroes pictured as intelligent citizens who act
and think in manner far different from the clowns
and buffoons on the stage and radio. He sees
that Negroes are seriously concerned about political
affairs, housing problems, labor, industry and gov
eminent. Today this reader sees something of the
extent of Negro participation in the war effort and
many feature articles proclaim the resentment OF
the Negro masses for being denied the opportunity
to make greater contribution to the task Of winning
the war for the democraces. All of the illusions
about the Negro are knocked into a cooked hat by
the Negro newspaper.
Those whites who have been taught from child
hood that Negroes are subhuman creatures may
dismiss the Negro newspaper as piece Of propa-
ganda cooked up by few sinister Negroes who are
not representative of the masses. They may find
It difficult to give up their inbred views that Ne
