Soybeans Provide Complete Meal

COLUMBUS, Ohio,-Visualize sizzling
steak smothered in sauce, pot of fra
grant coffee with plenty for a second cup
and a generous slab of cake. And no
ration coupons involved
A wartime mirage? Not at all
The National Farm Chemurgic Coun-
Gil claims every dinner table can boast
such repast, despite current restric~
tions, if cooks and farmers become soy
beam conscious.
The soybean is natures solution to
food rationing problems, says Ernest L.
Little, managing director of the council.
With it, he reports, a housewife can
prepare a complete "soup-to-nuts' meal
without expanding a single ration
coupon.
Here's the menu, reminiscent of pre-
war days:
Soup, salad with dressing. steak with
sauce, green vegetable, cake, coffee or
milk rolls, jam and nuts.
The soybean is not a new food-the
Chinese have used it to replace milk
cheese, butter and wheat for some 5000
years and it made its appearance in this
country as substitute for coffee during
the Civil War.
Yet today the average American
knows little of the value of soybean
products in the human diet, nutri-
tional paradox for which the Chemurgic
Council has no explanation.
Edible soybeans are easy to grow.
They will mature in either drought or
excessive rain and are insect resistant.
They are rich in practically every known
vitamin and combine more concentrated
essential food elements than almost any
other known product.
Soybeans have been recommended by
food specialists in all sections of the
country, particularly in the South.
Soybean milk is enormously successful
for babies who have difficulty thriving
on cows milk, and it can be made by a
process adaptable to home kitchens.
Not only can the soybean feed baby, it
can supply him with one of his most

for home hospitality. Up to the present
time, however, recreational leaders say
that soldiers are given preference on
home entertainment, and a good deal
of work remains to be done to help the
war workers in this phase of recreation.
The Government agencies themselves
appear to be taking an increasingly &C
tive part in the recreation problem. The
new Federal Recreational Committee
was formed by representatives from "a
Federal agencies and is headed by Mar
shall Stolley of the War Department.
MI. Stolley said it was hoped that the
canteen parties held this year at the
Interior Department can be established
on permanent basis. The War De-
partments huge Pentagon Building in
Arlington. Va. has a courtyard with it's
Coney Island tent and the Office of
Price Administration has opened a club
room for its employees, although it
meant depriving the executives of their
dining room with table service. The
executives still have private room, but
cafeteria style.

Famed L. S. Army Etcher
Tells of Gestapo Torture
BY Thomas r. Henry,
Star Staff Correspondent.

ALGIERS (By MaiD The scene could
have been lifted from Robin Hood
and a blanket on the ground in a juniper
grove a half dozen soldiers with their
backs against fallen log, the warm
Mediterranean moaning a few hundred
yards away, stars filling the cloudless
canopy of the skits through breaks in
the foliage, far-off church bell ringing
at midnight, a fading yellow moon in
its last quarter, gallon of wine.
1t was the setting for the strange story
of Staff Sergt. Rudolph Charles Won
Ripper artist of historical scenes and
one of the worlds leading etchers, now
an engineer soldier assigned to the
American artist corps engaged in max
ing paintings and sketches of war scenes.
Three years ago, one of the most wide
ly read novels in America was the hair
raising Darkness at Noon," the story
of the psychological torture used to
elicit a confession from an erstwhile
Communist leader in the days of the
Russian purge. Sergt. Won Ripper's
story is Darkness at Noon too, related
by a man who had been through almost
the same experience-but perhaps a
trif1e more terrible. Wierd winds of fate
had blown this artist and crusader, son
of an Austrian general in the last war,
to this Algerian juniper grove as an en-
listed man in the United States Army.
Soldiered in Legion
He had been a soldier in the French
Foreign Legion. discharged with bullet
in the chest. He had fought as an air
gunner for the Republican cause in
Spain and flew by plane to Marseilles
with the calf of one leg torn away by
shrapnel while a Spanish army doctor
was preparing to amputate the limb. A
French surgeon he knew saved it.
Relatively wealthy, he had married
and settled down in Berlin to make a

when the Nazis came into power. His
Berlin fiat was leased for year and
he says, 'since I had to pay for it, any
way, was too damn lazy to move out
the furniture" This was an omission
that nearly proved fatal.
In America, his fame as an artist
grew. He took out citizenship papers

The Washington Federation of
Churches has had functioning for some

year the production of soybean rubber
was negligible; this year, two plants, one
in Michigan and the other in Mississippi
already have produced 5O0OO,OO0 pounds.
Since soybean rubber does not have
the abrasive and stretching qualities Of
natural rubber it is being converted
into hot-water bags and similar house
hold items, pending further experiments.
Plastics and cloth fiber are two more
uses to which the miracle bean has been
adapted recently. Its value as livestock
food and in fertilizer and glue has been
common knowledge to the farmer for a
long time. In addition, soybean oil is
used in large quantities in the manu-
facture OF paints, as a substitute for
scarce tung oil from China and unavail-
able Japanese perilla oil.

figures on soybean production are cited
only to 194l. In that year, ll214,OOO
acres produced 106,712O0O bushels of
beans with a farm value of $157,O7O 900.

There are several recipes for soybesn
steak. Try this:
2 cups boiled beans.
! cup bread crumbs.
l cup chopped celery cooked until

l tablespoon cornStarch.
ls teaspoon curry powder.

ture until it thicksns, then mix with the
soybeans unashed or ground) and the
other ingredients. Bake or broil in
creased pan. Steak sauce made of soy
beans may be used for f1avoring.
Other Uses
If a vegetable is desired-serve green
soybeans, scalloped.
Dessert recipes, made with soybean
flour, quite often do not require sugar,
butter or even eggs
A cupful of ground soybean nuts,
which can be bought at most 5-and-10
cent stores, used in a percolator, pro-
duces beverage that looks and tastes
like coffee, the Chemurgic Council Off
cial says.
To obtain milk, grind the soybeans
until a cream is produced, dilute with
water, filter through cheesecloth and
boil.
Sailed soybeans, for an after-dinner
delicacy, also can be made at home. Soak
dry soybeans overnight, drain and spread
out at room temperature until the sur
face is dry. Then fly few at time
in deep fat at $50 degrees Fehrenheit for
eight to ten minutes, drain on absorb
ent paper and, while still warm sprinkle
with salt.
When it comes to consuming soybeans,
the Chemurgic Council practices what 1t
breaches. At its annual convention in
Chicago, members attended-and ate-a
seven-course dinner prepared almost en-
tirely from soybeans.

A schedule Of activities at these cen
tiers is as complicated as railroad time
table, but it includes instruction in
bridge, tennis dancing, exercise groups,

est" Just as an example, here is part OF
the program at Roosevelt Community

At the Jewish Community Center, the
Walsh Club, the VS. and at various
USO clubs, recreational programs have
been worked ont and, in most cases, tie
in with activities for service men and
women The effort at all of these places
has been to make them a home away
from home The program at these
centers, to which hundreds of Govern
ment employees go weekly, range from
dancing to games, from organized classes
in foreign languages to just plain letter
writing.
The YWCA at Seventeenth and K
streets NV for instance, has virtually
a three-ring circus on Saturday nights.
A general "get-acquainted dance takes
place on the second floor, the jitterbugs
hold forth in the gymnasium on the sixth
floor. and still a third dance is held in
the USO clubroom and terraces on the
seventh floor Each dance has an Or
chestra The dancers are limited-part-
" because of fire regulations-to approx
imately $50, with SO more men than
women.

Each hall has a council to represent
the women and to work out programs 1t
