Women Can Speed

WASHINGTON - (FP) - How
women on the home front can be
modified to bring a speedy vic
tory will be the main issue before
the third annual conference of the
CLOS Congress of Women's Aux
iliaries, scheduled to meet in
Philadelphia Nov. IA.
A conference call issued by the
three national officers, Faye Ste

said
"The armies of the United Ma
tions are on their offensive. Our
actions as women on the home

speed victory and to achieve a
just peoples peace.
"The Congress of Women's Aux
iliaries of the CIO recognizes the
important tasks our women must
assume this coming year Our goal
is, in the words of President Muir
ray, TO reach out to the millions
of unorganized women in our CIO
homes and stimulate them to ac-

Trumon Committee Calls

nounced Oct. / it had called Under
secretary of War Robert P. Pat
terson to testify Oct. 6 on results
of reinspection' of airplane engines
produced at the Lockland plant of
Wright Aeronautical Corp.
Sen. Harry S. Truman Cd. Mo- J,
it was revealed, was the victim Of
army censorship when he incor-
porated in a speech prepared for
delivery the week of Oct, A, data
on 80 engines which were ready for
shipment when the army rein
spected them. The engines were
prepared for shipment following
the Truman committee sensational
disclosure that defective engines
had been shipped from the plant as
a result of poor inspection by the
army and the company.

Senate Stalls
Action on Bill

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 (FP)-
The senate judiciary committee
by a large majority vote delayed
action on HB7, anti-poll tax bill,
until Oct. %, when it will stage a
debate on constitutionality of the
measure.
Committee Chairman Frederick
Van Nuys d., Ind) said both sides
would be asked to present three
lawyers each to debate the bills
constitutionality and Atty. Gen.
Francis K. Biddle would also be
asked to appear OF present a state
ment. Although he has twice be-
fore been asked for statement on
H. r. 7, Biddle still hasn't come
through with an opinion.
Despite Van Nuys' frequent as
surances that swift action on the
/ l was forthcoming, the commit
tee apparently jumped on the
chance to let a rather hot potato
cool off for month with the hope
that congress will take its mid
winter recess before the bill can
get on the floor of the senate.
Protests Committee Move
Protesting the committees move,
Mrs. Katherine Shryver, executive
secretary of the anti-poll tax COM
mittee, said there was mo valid
need for further hearings" since
hearings on the bill were held for
18 months during the last session
of congress. Nevertheless, she add
ed, the committee would secure the
most eminent legal authorities in
the country to debate the measure.
At the same time, the anti-poll
tax committee called on organized
labor to exert the utmost pressure
on members of the senate for
action on the bill, describing it as
war measure which will give 10
million Americans the right to vote
and full democracy. H. R. z, spon-
sored by Rep. Vito Marcantonio

Cant Feed Kids
On 40c q Ddy"


WASHINGTON (FP)-Increas-
ed allotments granted servicemen's
dependents under the Reynolds
Sparkman bill, S1279, are "a
mockery of the real need" the CIO
told the house military affairs COM
mittee.
ITO offer the wife and children
of men and serving our nation to
the utmost S7-a-month in
crease is not only begging the
question it is adding insult TO
miserliness," Tom Owens, legisla-
tive director for the United Rubber
Workers, said, urging instead sup
port of the CIO sponsored bill, HR
3343, introduced by Rep. George
Sadowski Cd. Mich.) The Reynolds
bill, already passed in the Senate,
increases the present amount of
S72 a month for a wife and two
children to $79 The Sadowski bill
proposes an increase to S120 a
month, the amount needed to pro-
vide minimum of decent living
according to Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics figures.
A statement by the CIO Wo-
mems Auxiliaries included in
Ovens testimony, said it was i'm
possible to live on present allot-
ments or under those granted by
the Reynolds bill ''in any industrial
area of this country on anything
but starvation level"
"Mothers cannot feel and clothe
a child on the 40 cents a day all
lowed them under the present law
for the first child or the 33 cents
per day allowed for each additional
child" Owens said. Raising these
allowances, as provided in S 1879
to 60 cents per day for the first
child and 81 cent per day for each
additional child will not meet the
problem. Mothers will continue to
be forced to try to make arrange
ments to take job in order to give
their children the food and clothing
they need for physical health. Il
do not believe that it is the pur-
pose of this committee to force
the mothers of the children of our
servicemen in the labor market.
And yet that is the effect of the
utterly inadequate scale of family
benefits in the present law and in
S 1879"

Household Hints
For Spor+smen's
Wives

LANSING, Oct. - Ration
wise housewives this year are go
ing to be anxious to get the most
meat value out of the game ami
mails that the hunter in the family
brings home.
R. G. Hill, game expert of the
state conservation department, in
recent publication entitled Good
Eating From Woods and Fields,
informs cooks that if they give
meat from game animals the same
care in handling and preparing that
they give other meats, they will
find that it makes a delicious and
nutritious meal.
With the upland game bird sea-
son now open in the Upper PENN
sula and in the Lower Peninsula
Oct. Is, housewives will want to
try this recipe for preparing par
fridge:
Broiled Partridge

small baking pan with one-half
inch hot water and cover. Put in
hot oven for Is minutes.
2. Roll in flour. Lay on broiling
irons breast down.
3. Make gravy of tablespoons
flour in cold water, with pepper,
salt and butter
a. Stir in the liquid in which the
birds were parboiled
5. Serve with toast and bacon
and with gravy if preferred.

it, is it's infinite capacity to impro-
wise. If the scheduled plan goes
awry, the boys can dream some
thing up on the spur of the mo-
ment. Mentally, our kids are elias
tic. That night the airborne lads
just went awandering all over the

they saw alive, and this consider
ably baffled the orthodox Eyetie
and German defenses, which didn't
think it quite sporting.
If you think that l am blindly,

Acted Like Veterans
But let one far better qualified
than |, have the floor. Alex Cliff
ford is the war correspondents war
correspondent. This brilliant Eng
lishman, who writes for the London
Mail, has studied warfare for many
years. II got the surprise Of my
life" he told me. "I'ves been with
the veteran Eighth army for long
time and naturally didn't expect
much from a comparatively green
outfit like the First division. You
can only learn to fight by fighting
But somehow this bunch had learn
ed it without having many fights!
In action they were cool, absolutely,
and they acted like veterans"
Then he went on, thoughtfully:
"When tough artillery fire came at
them, they didn't bunch up as green
troops always do. They famed out
beautifully. They're good fighters,
and cruel fighters, too, and they
are the best disciplined outfit |
ever saw.
'They storm a town and have
a tough time with casualties and
then they walk in. Instead of
getting tough with the local in
habitants or with prisoners, what
do they do? They share their
chocolate, their cigarettes, with
them, when all their instincts
must be to slaughter them as
they think of their own casual
ties"
