FRED M0LLER, CRASH SURVIVOR,
 ARRIVES HERE

UndiSturbed and unruffled by the crash landing of the plane in which he and Capt. D. L. McLennan were flying between Moses Point and Nulato, and their subsequent trek of 80 miles across the frozen tundra and Shaktolic River, Fred Moller, flight mechanic of the wrecked plane, arrived in Juneau yesterday on his way to Whitehorse on company business.
 The two men were in a Pan American mail plane, which crashed on March 2. A search party which began early the morning of March s. located the wreckage but sec ing no signs of life, it was feared that the pilot and Moller had not survived. They were later located 80 miles from the wreck, when dog team parties sent to the wreck re- ported signs that the two men had walked away
 
 T can't say how it happened that neither Capt. McLennan or were injured when the plane crashed, guess you could call it a miracle because the plane was a complete wreck. But, aside from a cut Capt. McLennan had on his forehead, neither of us was hurt, MT. Moller, 52 years of age and a resident of Alaska for more thar 40 years, said today
 T didn't know until the crash occurred that we were going tc hit. We'd run into black cloud: and freezing conditions had frost ed the windshield so that it wa. impossible to see distinctly There were bad down drafts and we just went into the very top of a rist in the divide between the Yukor and the coast Moller said.
 Signs Blotted Out

 Roden said the speech took the wind out of him He said the charge that any Territorial employee, leg islator or officer dealt with the whiskey interests was lie.

Bureau of Fisheries, acquaint- ed them with work of the Bureau and explained how sanitary condi- tions are maintained in salmon packing plants by inspectors of the U. s. Food and Drug Administra- tion
 Emphasizing the importance of the Territory's fisheries, MT. Olson stated that "as a source of income it overshadows all other indus tries" and that it's value as a source of food--especially at the present time - means 25o,oOO, 900 pounds, or cans, of food"
 Also discussed were problems of control, management and supply which arise in war time that are not present in a normal year
 Men of the class listened atten- lively to the discussion regarding an industry which was new to many of them, and asked questions eagerly regarding several points discussed. Tn closing, Mir Olson of fered close cooperation with the sanitary inspectors in all ways pos sible

 Food infections may come from a variety of organisms, MT Green stated, from the organisms of specific human diseases through carriers, through salrnonella an d staphylococcus infections; through food toxema or botulism"
 There is no such thing as 'pto- maine poisoning. MT. Green point ed out, adding that one of tn e causes previously listed was respon- sible in each case.

by the two survivors before they lit out to walk to civilization. These must have been plotted out later by wind and snow, Moller said
 MT Moller dismissed any question of hardships in the long walk and camping in the open during the four days between the crash and the time they were found That was no walk to speak of for those of us who have lived in the In- terior and we know how to make good camp in the open he said Capt. McLennan is cheechako and it was a little harder for him than for me, of course,' he admit ted.
 We heard the planes on the search, but they couldn't see our signals in the daylight" Moller said. We were just making camp on the fourth night when the plane that picked us up flew over and landed"
 This was the ninth plane MT Moller has walked away from dur ing the twelve years he has been flight mechanic and during his owr instruction and flying years, but when asked if he felt he had used up his luck, MT. Moller said:
 Why I don't feel any way at all about it. If you were in an auto mobile wreck you wouldn't stop driving car, would you? It is just ! the same"
 One of the worst wrecks MT Moller has been in occurred in 1926 when he was learning to fly and the Eaglerock" plane he was in fel 2000 feet onto Parkwater flying field, Spokane, Wash. Everyone or the ground at the field was surt we were all killed, but we weren't even badly injured he said.

Civilian Sub Fighters
 Showing Stuff; Praise
 For Flying Minuiemen
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, March l6-Slow- ly through the screen of censor ship, the story of the Coastal Pa trol of the Civil Air Patrol is be- ginning to sift out and some of the credit due is finally accruing to these flying minutemen.
 Rep. Hatton w. Summers, of Tex as, recently wrote into the Con- gressional Record the most detailed survey of the CAP that has yet been made public. The Army, nev- CT reluctant to allow the CAP to tell about it's land activities, is fin ally lifting the curtain little on the Coastal Patrol
 It has heen made public recently that some Coastal Patrol planes for months have been carrying bombs and are equipped with jim dandy bombsights that only cost 20 cents, but are deadly accurate to 5000 feet. The story has come out that the Coastal Patrol no longer thinks anything of flying 40 to 50 miles to sea. And there we pause.
 Fifty miles at sea means much more than that from the home port and possibly even hundreds of miles from an emergency land ing field. Yet. the CAP flies most ly single -motored planes in which a conk-out at sea means sudden death.
 Accoding to published reports, only seven patrol pilots have been reported missing on mission"- a small price when it is consider cd that they have saved hundreds of lives by spotting survivors of sunken ships, and perhaps saved thousands more by ,spotting subs and reporting them to sub-chasers and destroyers.
 To what extent the Coastal Pa trol is responsible for driving Nazi subs away from these inshore lanes probably will never be known, but that they were the first effective patrol in the air in this war has been admitted In the early days of

 Soon after taking office, Brown endorsed the program, declaring that 1t was essential to the main- tenance of ceiling prices.
 Yesterday OPA announced with drawal of the order and conceded that its compromise, offered as 9 substitute, was not as clear cut as the original plan and would be more difficult to enforce.
 Brown was in hospital for minor operation and did not com- ment on the action, but OPA spokes- men said that enough of the first program was saved to permit re- vival of grade labelling when and if the administrations desires to do do so.

be used wisely. So put those pods and tops in the soup kettle-use carrot tops as a garnish for salads, a well as for soups. Young tender carrots don't need to be scraped be- fore cooking-a good scrubbing is all that is necessary. This is both time and vitamin saving. A few left over peas and carrots take on a new face when mixed with creamed fresh mushrooms; finely chopped mushrooms Sauted in butter with chopped onion is a nice addition to buttered peas. Many a person has
 learned to enjoy cooked carrots when bacon fat is used in the preparation.
 Start now to help with this food for freedom production drive" to prevent waste of these two import ant vegetables. Food production is being maintained at great effort and it is our responsibility to assist with this important phase of the wartime food program.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-05-19

The State Nutrition Committee has just received word from the Regional Food Administrator that the first heavy seasonal food supply is now reaching local markets under the flood for freedom production drive" This means that plenti- full supply of fresh peas and car rots is on the market-and none of this wartime food can be wasted. No doubt we shall be notified peri odically as other foods reach their peak of production and distribution.
 It is welcome news that peas and carrots are not only coming down in price but that they are available in abundance. Right now we are able to purchase two punches of crisp young carrots for approXi- mately the price that we were pay ing for one bunch a few weeks ago Likewise, peas have taken a big drop in price.
 Your Preference
 Many people may not feel as jubilant over this news as they should. They feel that carrots were made for rabbits only. The proof Of the pudding is in the preparation there is no disgrace in not liking carrots, if the carrots are not prop erly served. Carrots should not be cooked in too much water and for too long a time. Carrots are pre- ferred in the raw state by many, but don't try serving a limp carrot strip-the greatest carrot lover in the world would not like that.
 Food habits the world over are being changed. Our boys in the armed forces eat carrots frequently They are served by the Army be- cause of their vitamin A content Recently we heard of boy home on furlough who assured his mother that he was anticipating her gooc cooking. at the same time he in- sisted that he have carrots every day. Incidentally, this boy never ate carrots until he joined the Army Air Corps.
 Let us look at the food value o1 the food for freedom" vegetables Peas, a universal favorite, contain a good supply of our B vitamins iron, and fair amount of phos- phorus, and make a contribution tc our protein requirements Beside! a very high vitamin A content, car rots also have fair amount o1 calcium and phosphorus. When yor add the food value, flavor, and colol appeal is there question in youl mind why peas and carrots shoulc come out of the rabbits food class! It is true, you must start with g 1 good product-the best of prepara- ton is wasted on an inferior vege- table-but the best quality vegetable can be ruined by poor storing anc cooking practices.
 Suggestions
 Here are some practical sugges- tions for using every bit of these vegetables-yes, even the pea pods and carrot tops. On every hand we hear that every bit of food must

partment of Agriculture grades, and also that canners' maximum prices will continue to be set by grade The industry had complained against setting maximum prices by grade but on this point OPA refused to yield.
 Gamers and wholesalers also must indicate on their invoices the government grade of the product sold. OPA officials conceded that this would be of little help to house wives as grocers are not com pelled to submit their invoices for scrutiny of consumers.
 A measure of production for con- sumers, however, is contained in the plan establishing retails com munitW- wide rs-and-cents ceil- ing throughout the country. These ceilings will list can goods by grade, showing the housewife at a glance the grade and the maximum price of a particular brand.

LAPS ATTACK
 WAU AIRDROME
Slight Damage, No Casual ties Caused in Third Raid
 in Four Days
BY DON CASWELL United Press Staff Correspondent


 General MacArhur's Headquarters, Australia, May 19. - (UP) - The Japanese, in a sustained effort to halt the Allied gains up the New Guinea northeast coast, bombed the WAU airdrome yesterday for the third time in four days, com munique reported today.
 Twenty-Five enemy fighters drop ped 10 bombs from about 15,000 feet on the Allied strongpoint only 30 miles southwest of the Japanese base at Salamaua. Then hey came down low to strafe the area. Re- suits were negligible only slight damage and no casualties.
 Saturday 34 planes raided WAU and Monday 43 more followed up with bombing attack. Their ap- parent purpose was to cripple the Allied outposts to divert air sup port from the Allied ground forces working up the coast and currently threatening the Japanese around Salamaua.
 Allied planes made their seventh straight raid on the enemy air drome at Gasmata, New Britain, north of New Guinea, and Flying Fortresses made single plane forays over Finsch harbor and Lac, up the New Guinea coast above Salamaua
 Braving bad flying weather, Lib orators made a before dawn attack on the big base at Rabaul, starting fires at Vunakanau airdrome.
 A lone Liberator on reconnais- Sance over Steffen Straits, near Kavieng, New Ireland, ran into two Japanese float planes and in a bat tie at 1,500 feet damaged one of them. Single plane raids in the New Britain area were directed against Arawe, Cape Gloucester and Lorengau in the admiralty islands
 The communique announced that re-check set the loss of life in the torpedoing of the Australian hospital ship Centaur off the east coast Friday at 263 instead of 299 as previously reported. Sixty-four of the 332 aboard the vessel were saved.

GRADE LABELLING
 PLAN SCRAPPED
Compulsory l943 Fruit Pack Idea Withdrawn,
 Substitute Offered
BY ARTHUR F. DEGREVE

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, May 19.-(UP)- Price Administrator Prentiss M Brown scrapped the compulsory grade labelling plan for the 1943 fruit pack in what New Dealers interpreted today as another major retreat from basic OPA policy set by Browns predecessor, Leon Hen derSon.
 Grade labelling as means of as- surfing housewives against hidden price increases through change in quality long has been high on the list of New Deal reforms. But it could never win the approval of Congress upon which the canning industry directed full pressure as soon as the issue arose.
 In the face of that opposition Henderson issued an order last January, shortly before he resigned ordering the canners to label the 1943 pack ot canned fruits anc

untrammeled, prices will rise out of all proportion because there will be competition among those possessed of savings and surpluses to bid for goods Therefore, any move - even though it be imperfect - that seeks to control this very important trend, should deserve our willing coopera- ton.
 Next to the present war there is no problem that is of more impor- tance to the American people. The truth of the matter is that we are fighting this war to preserve the type of life our people have heretofore enjoyed-a life that would enable them to make decent liv- ing and to lay away something for rainy day. We have responsi- bility here to see to it that the savings of the people who have been industrious and thrifty in the past will not be liquidated by a selfish inf1ationary move. Credit ex- ecutives throughout the United States are keenly aware of this re- sponsibility and they are discharg- ing it day by day to the best of their ability"
