Bro. Katz selected nine SUBJ
jects for special consideration OF
the legislators from Maryland, all
but one of whom gathered in the
Senate Office building to meet
with the delegation.
1. Total war mobilization. The
Pepper-Kilgore Bill for central
planning office is essential, said
KatZ. Failing master plan, legis-
lation like the AuStin-Wadsworth
compulsory service bill would sim
ply freeze the mistakes that have
been made.
2. Abolition of state pOll-tax laws
which limit the franchise in seven
southern states. II. r. is in proc
ess of being discharged from COM
mittee. Reps. D'Alessandfo and
Beall won q round of applause
when the announced that they had
signed Discharge Petition No. 8, to
bring this bill to the floor.

3. Taxation. When the delegates
spoke for the U. S. Treasury pro-
poSals on taxation, and against the
Ruml Plan for rebating taxes to
the rich, Senator Tydings under
took to read them a lecture. The
rich have not enough income any
way to pay the S16,000,000,000 of
new taxes which the President has
requested. said the Senator. and
proved 1t with huge chart. The
delegates replied that efforts to re-
lieve the rich from taxation were
interfering seriously with morale.
4. Federal Workers, and
S. Rights of Labor. Senator Tyd-
ings attempted to defend the Hobbs
Bill. Bro. Jim Drury. president Of
the Baltimore Industrial Union
Council, finally got the floor for
a slashing attack on this bill for
Stacking labor. and he was strong
~ supported by Congressman Dan
Ellison.

Bill, II. r. 140S. both of which
would add directly TO the cost OF

Senator Radcliffe was concerned
about the plight of the cotton plan

Agriculture has not converted

spend their time better in raising
food tat is needed i'm the war ef-
fort, than on cotton of which
there Is two years supply on

has submitted tested designs to 8 joint meeting of manufacturers, the Office of Price Administration and the War Production Board. Freedom of movement, service ability, safety factors, and attrac- tiveness were considered in work ing out measurements for waist and back widths, armholeS, sleeve length and sweep of skirts. The American Standards Association worked out these practical designs, by experimenting with women mod els working in factories over a period of months.
 OPA is considering various pric- ing methods for this new type of production. WIPE may handle pro- duction on purely voluntary basis with manufacturers, or give special assistance to producers of specified types.
 NEED STAMPS?
 Opponents of subsidy payments on food to keep prices down are reviving a modification of the old depression food stamp plan to is sue free food stamps to people who actually need assistance with their food bills. This was proposed in Senate Banking and Currency hearings as an alternative to keep ing prices down for an estimated 90 per cent who don't need such help. Senator Taft of Ohio pointed out that farmers would still have to make that dreaded rationed trip to town to collect their stamps.

 As soon as their income in- creases, they should figure out what the increase is going to mean to them-not in sudden luxuries or silly spending, but in savings for future wants and needs.
 NEED DEFINITE PLAN
 It isn't enough to say We'll put the money into war bonds and some day it will come in pretty handy" Most people need to work toward a goal, toward the fulfillment of definite ambitions.
 And it is important that both marriage partners are agreed on what the goals should be. Other wise there won't be any real CO., operation.
 Whether or not increased in- come ruins marriage or serves to smooth out difficulties and make the couple feel they are at last getting somewhere depends largely on whether or not they go right on planning together what they want for tomorrow, just as they did when money was painfully scarce.

It was origi- nally announced that the Mass would be sung tomorrow morning by Rev. J.

 You will find today's hand more interesting if you look only at the North and South cards, and figure out how you would handle the prob- lem that confronted the declarer. East's opening lead of the king of diamonds held the trick. West played the f1ve-spot. East continued with the ace and West played the seven, The lead of the king asks partner to put on his second best; therefore East now knew that Vests highest diamond was the spot. East had no problem in counting the hand, as North's jack fell on the ace. Now East led the third diamond.
 Looking at only the North and South cards, you will see that the declarer had problem. He had to make 8 discard. Most players were afraid to discard club, think ing that the whole club suit might run |. and they made the un- fortunate discard of the deuce of hearts.
 If the declarer had discarded the five of clubs, he would win the third diamond trick with the queen, then had the eigh of clubs When East's queen fell, North would know that the club suit was not going to break, and should lead the queen of spades next. East's ace would win and an other spade lead would put the de- clarer back in dummy. Now he could lead the deuce of hearts and win with the king. Since he could not make his contract without a sue cessful heart finesse, North should cash the king of spades, discarding another club from dummy, and then take the heart fineSSe.
 When the little deuce of hearts was discarded on the third dia- mond, the contract was defeated.

LEFT OVER MAGIC

A roast stuffed turkey, chicken, or any other fowl needs little or no extra "f1xings" to bring cheers from the table. But the tune Is different when 1t comes to left overs. A little imagination and ingenuity are a real help in turning those left overs into holiday sur prises until the tiniest morsal is eaten. Now more than ever, food cannot be wasted.
 You may ask, Whoever turned away from sliced cold turkey. Don't rest on its reputation and serve the same plate of cold turkey each time less appetizing than be- fore, when a little thought can make those scraps more attractive and tasty.
 Before we talk of left overs, we hope you roast your bird in an open pan and at 8 constant low temperature. Such @ method gives a juicier roast and more of 1t than the old fashioned covered pan and soaring process.
 In using left over fowl, of course sandwich either cold or hot with or without gravy will always be 8 favorite.
