House Committee
To Resume FSA
Inquiry Tomorrow
DR.. Mitchell Faces Quiz
On Long-Term Leases
To Tenant Farmers

A special House committe investi-
eating the Farm Security Admins
tration will resume hearings tomor-
row morning when DR.. George S.
Mitchell, assistant Farm Security
administrator, will be questioned on
charges he has advocated long-term
Government lease of tenant farms.
The cooperative farming pro-
gram of FSA, under which member
farmers held land only under long
term lease and could not acquire
direct title, came under scrutiny
yesterday when c.. B. Baldwin, head
of FSA, appeared as the first witness
in the committees investigation.
Mr.. Baldwin testified that the
projects, now in process of liquida-
ton, had been started while Rex
ford Guy Tugwell, now Governor
OF Puerto Rico. was in charge of
the Resettlement Administration,
which the FSA later absorbed
Is Cooperative Projects.
The administrator explained that
farmers in such projects we're paid
a daily wage, and shared proper
tionately in the net proceeds from
sales of products by the co-opera-
tive.
He said he was trying to get rid
of the Is cooperative projects, in
volving some $50 families, and about
63,400 acres of land, as soon as pos
sible, adding:
. They aren't popular. and don't
follow traditional American land
policy"
Chairman Cooley said, The pres
ent temporary unpopularity of the
Farm Seculity Administration has
been brought about by an almost
complete misunderstanding of the
intents and purposes for which the
agency was created.
Unfortunately the Farm Security
Administration inherited from the
Resettlement Administration and
other agencies which had been Gre
ated by executive orders, many pro-
jects which were already in great
dlsrepute"
Flanagan Den0unces Idea.
Representative Flanagan, Demo-
crat, of Virginia denounced cooper
alive farming "as an un-American
procedure" and added Il am going
to do everything I can to get rid of
people in this Government who en-
terrain such ideas"
He added that "a lot of un-Ameri-
can ideas are creeping into govern
mental departments and they
alarm me. Some one in your (Mr.
Baldwin's) department Matched up
this scheme to get around fee SIM
pie ownership of land"
Mr.. Cooley said that an editorial
which appeared in the Puerto Rico
World-Journal on May %. 1e41,
quoted DR.. Mitchell, then visiting in
San Juan, as having said:
This fee simple ownership of
property is the greatest detriment to
our national prosperity"
The editorial. Mr.. Cooley added,
states that DR.. Mitchell advocates
long lease tenure of farm land, sub
ject to cancellation when it is DEM
onstrated that the lessee is improp-
erly using the land"

the past received insufficient re-
wards. In time of war we found it
hard to understand their failure to
recognize the identity of their own
interests with that Of the fighting
forces. ..
Their attitude is not an isolated
illustration of the loss of sense of
community. We also fail in this
when we seek preferential release
from small restrictions, resentful at
our failure or boastful at success.
1.-The Christian attitude in war is
willingness to sacrifice without a
whimper. The church has opportu-
mites and obligations to render in

PRINCE

WASHINGTON, May -
(ANP)--Mrs Eleanor Roose-
yelt received Kingsley Ozum-
ba MebadiWo at the White
House last Monday and heard
the suggestion of the Niger
ian prince that Americas S
good neighbor' policy ought
to be extended to the coun-
tries of West Africa.
The goodwill visit also af-
forded Mr.. Mbadiwo the op-
portunity Of telling the First
Lady Of the effort being ex-
erted by the youth Of West
Africa in support Of the allied
war effort. He told her that
Nigeria is now contributing
to % assorted war relief
funds, that the school chill
dnen Of his country have al
ready sent funds to Russia,
that African soldiers are
fighting in North Africa and
performing important assign
nients in Egypt, and that the
country is growing large sup-
plies OF rubber to meet tie
unprecedented demands.
The distinguished visitor
found Mrs. Roosevelt quite
interested IN African music.
He explained to her that it is
through such cultural ap=
proaches the peoples of the
two countries might more
easily come to know each
other better.
Mr.. MbadiWo let it be
known that West Africa
would like to see an extension
of trade relations between the
two countries. Besides rub
ber, Nigeria produces hides
and skins, peanuts, palm oil,
coca, soy beans and ivory.

 News about beauty often-fortu- nately-croSses news about conver- Sation nowadays. Latest example at this desk: combination deodorant and anti-perspirant whose makers promise that they won't injure your clothes. A welcome promise in these days when dry cleaners warn you against permitting chemicals to weaken the fabric of your clothes.
 Precipitation hurts many 1ibers. Women who formerly did not no- ice its stain under the arms of their dresses may find them now, if they are more active. Women who weren't much concerned if one sweater or dress or blouse was ruined cannot afford that attitude now. Hence, anti-perspirants are increasing in importance.
 The house which offers this new product makes two kinds. There is 8 cream which you spread on like any cleanser. There is g jar of de- odorant pads-moist puffs which you whisk over the skin surface.
 Even with superior deodorant, efficient women take special care to use it according to directions, and they put garments on hangers to air immediately after taking them of. The moisture and warmth in the garment give the fibers some help in springirg back to the shape they were tailored to originally. Air re- wives the fabric and waits away any trace of scent and deodorant may have. The fastidious and efficient woman also wears a dress but once before hanging it to air and rest at least day or so.

up now on the point system and on the possibilities of extenderS and alternate foods. That's the advice of an Agriculture Department Of- ficial who sees trouble ahead for the unprepared housewife.
 The start of ratiOning is going to be confusing to everybody. You'll likely buy the wrong things and-unIess you've always been 8 very careful planner and shopper you probably will get too much of one kind of food before you discover you haven't enough c0u- pOns left to buy the other things you wanted.
 It isn't going to be easy this shopping with two kinds of eur rency'--dollars and cents plus ra- tioning's point system. And although a degree in mathematics won't be necessary to take you safely to the grocery, a little sound adding and good judgment will help. So start your home work now.
 It will also pay you to learn how to make appetizing dishes from un- rationed food, and how to make your rationed meat supply go farther with "extenders." Start practicing now before you have to use them.
 For instance, you can increase the bulk of your hamburger steak pur- chase one-third by adding corn meal. And it might pay you to in- vestigate the possibilities of soy- beans as a meat supplement. GrOcery-StOre Chefs
 It may be that, before the war is over, you'll be taking milk bottle to the corner grocery for quart oi the specialize de la maison" when you want soup for lunch.
 This prospect comes in answer to the rumOr that all canned z ups may be off the market eventually, due to g shortage of vnpOwer and tin. There is small chance Q this happening in the near future, and 1t may not occur at all. But if 1t does there's likelihood that your grocer will turn chef, 90 that you won't have to rely entirely On your own soup recipes.
 It's also quite possible that if h. goes in for cooking he won't stop a soup, but will include other ready to-serve foods, such as potato salad

 Hollywood Hollywoodians are go- ing in for bundling this winter, but not in the good old New England way. They're bundling themselves up against the night chill. which can be pretty darn chilly, and don't let the Chamber of Commerce tell you otherwise. They feel 1t more this winter because, like all the rest of us, gas and rubber conservation is making homebodies out of them and they can't get as much fuel as they used to.
 So stars and starletS are con- cerned with bundling indoors and out. They've adopted the "ginrum- my" shawl, worn like 8 poncho- such as the one modelled by Evelyn Reyes, the star of "Desperado," who looks anything but like desperado when she dons her shawl of wool plaid in red, green and gray with three-inch fringe of red yarn.
 Jeep shawls, too, are a new fad in f1lmtown. Also of plaid wool in the brightest of colors - jeep shawls are worn over the head with the point of one corner dipping over the forehead. And for evening rash of really beautiful, old-fash- toned shawls has appeared-rSually very large and most often in sheer, but warm, challis.

Today we are going to tell you about just one meat and one fish. Each of these is easy to get and is not rationed. We have been cook ing beef hearts in the Yankee Kit chen and we like them. Now lot of people don't know quite what to do with beef hearts so we thought we had better tell you what 1Ve do.
 The first thing is boiled heart. First, you clean it and cover with boiling water with a teaspoon of salt to quart of water and a little pepper. Simmer two or three hours until it's reasonably soft and done. Remove the fat and slice cross wise. If you want, chopped onion gives it a little more flavor. You can make a gravy by thickening the stock and the stock is a delicious base for soup. Noodles and rice are good cooked in the stock and served with the heart. Or you can make wonderful vegetable boiled dinner by cooking carrots, turnips, onions and potatoes in the stock and serv- ing them with the heart.
 AuO IuI1lS CO ESIucIHUSE CuOuRI, is to add the potatoes ten minutes after the other vegetables.
 For sauteed hearts, you clean the heart and prepare it for cooking as usual. Cut cross wise in F inch slices, dredge with flour and brown quickly in drippings or fat, some salt and pepper: cook about ten minutes over slow fire. Be sure it's covered. Serve immediately with mashed pota:a3 and creamed onions.
 Have you ever tried stuffed hearts? After you cook your hearts tender in a stewing pan, cut away the fat, and stuff with bread stufing made with plenty of flavor. Then rub or brush some hot fat drippings over it, and put it in shallow pan and brown it in a hot oven.
 A beef heart will take longer to cook than a calf or hog heart. But the thing to remember is, that it's not included in the rationing because it's an organ, it's wonder fully wholesome meat, and that one beef heart is large enough for family of 4 to 6.
 So now we come to the one fish recipe we promised you. This is

Don't Limit Fish
 To Friday Meals
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service StaR Writer

More and more stores are carry ing fish throughout the week. It is SO important as an alternate for meat, which is restricted for war needs, that it deserves to be more than a once-a-week food.
 Remember that fish is rich in proteins and minerals. But for safety's sake, include Wtamin- rich foods in the menu when fish is used in place of meat, in order to supply the complete proteins.
