War Workers

Washington, Dec. Sup A

growing type OF protteering in
which certain skilled workers are
farmed out to war contractors at

group has received information that
the practice is particularly wide
spread among small tool-making
firms which rent out" their work

government contracts.
The prohteering has disturbed
many members of Congress. Rep.

"unconscionable". pointing out that
under the customary cost-plus.hxed-

$50 to $50 day wages were charge

Humans Are Adaptable

HUMANS are AuoptdDlc
OF course the human animal is
adaptable ana can adjust to con-
siderable differences in diet. The
all-meat diet of the Eskimo and
the ail-vegetable diet Of the South
Sea Islander produce a healthy
race in both instances. But GER
tain things are basic necessities,
and while the recommendations Of
the Committee on Food and Nu-
triton of the National Research
Council are perhaps too rigid, the
housewife who can spend time
learning the fundamental prin-
ciples Of nutrition had better fol-
low them.
One fundamental food form that
is liable to be neglected in these
rationing days is protein. The
best sources of protein are meat,
eggs and milk. 1t used to be feared
that we were getting too much
protein in the diet-it was sup
posed to lead to Bright's disease
and high blood pressure.
Those ideas have been happily
exploded and the danger now is
that the average citizen will get
too little. The official government
allotment of 3 ounces of protein
a day for l50-pound man seems
to me entirely too low. So is the
official allotment Of Az ounces
for the expectant mother and 6
ounces for the nursing mothe-.
While minimizing the protein, the
experts lately have gone haywire
on including enough viramins.
1t is hardly necessary to repeat
the seven basic food categories
that the Department of Agricul-
ture recommends for every per-
son per day, but here it is:
l. Green and yellow vegetable
corn, carrots, peas, squash (vita.
Minis and minerals). 2. Orange,
tomato or grapefruit (vitamins).
3. Potatoes and other highly nu.
tritious vegetables and fruits
raw, dried, cooked, frozen OF
canned - beets, apples, grapes,
bananas, peaches (calories). A.
Milk-evaporated, dried, fresh, OF
cheese (protein). 5. Meat, poul.
try, fish, or eggs-or dried beans,
peas, nuts or peanut butter (pro-
tein). 6. Bread, flour, cereals
(calories). 7. Butter and forti-
fled margarine with added Vita
min A. (energy).
Two food lists which contain
the daily requirements of the
average individual are as follows:

Nazis Fail 10 Catch
j. ). Planes in Cables
Shot From Rockets
Ship Defense of Steel
Ropes Proves Ineffective,
As Do Other Enemy Tactics
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Staff Correspondent.

STRATEGIC AIR FORCE BASE,
NORTH AFRICA, May 29.-A new
German ship defense of steel cables
shot by rockets, aimed to clip off
the wings of attacking planes, has
failed to catch any American planes,
1t was earned here.
The defense, which has been noted
several times recently, consists Of
steel cables with paper parachutes
attached, shot by rockets from the
deck of ship. The parachutes open
when the cables are up 1,5OO or / 300
feet. They hold it suspended verti-
cally and swaying for a few min
utes. giving the same effect as
barrage balloon defense over a city.
Released on Attack.
The rockets are released as soon
as possible after fighter planes begin
bombing attack on the ship, so
that if released instantaneously the
pilot turning upwards over the ship
deck is likely to be caught. When
the bombing attack is complete
surprise, the pilot can make his
getaway before the rockets can be
fired
Another trick used by German
fighters, American flyers say. is
what is known as the mousetrap in
American football In an effort to
trick unwary Americans, Messer
schmitt or Folke Wolfe planes ap-
pear to fly carelessly from behind a
cloud to draw unsuspecting Amer
leans near.
While decoys pretending to be
easy prey, 10 or more enemy planes
wait directly above under a blaz-
ing sun where they are invisible
They dive to the attack and decoys
run.
Smell Like Foul Fish.
All German planes, pilots report,
smell like foul fish Parts of en-
emy planes kept as souvenirs by
American pilots from craft found
at Bizerte airport and packed away
in luggage, gave clothes an unbear-
able odor like that of skunk The
odor persists for weeks. despite
airing, and frequently clothes have
t. be thrown away.
The odor is believed due from
sort of fish oil used on lacquer.
Captured German pilots have a
strong fish aroma.
