POINTERS ON
POINT RATIONINC

There's no ration on home
canned foods. So plan to can
pickle. brine, kraut and dry every
bit of fresh food you grow in your
Victory Garden, except what you
need for day to day meals. This is
the best way You have to stretch
hose ration spdiiits. using them
,nly for foods you can't preserve.
@ffGff IVA s!
Don't pour ration points down
the drain! Every drop of vege-
table liquid can be used in
gravies or soup stock. The
sYrups on canned fruits are de-
hcious when used in place of
water in gelatin deserts.
Before you buy, make sure there
isn't something else in the store
that would take less points, yet
serve as much to your family. For
example, twelve ounce package
of frozen peas goes just as far as
a twenty ounce can of peas. Each
will serve four helpings, yet the
frozen peas cost 10 points and the
canned l The seven to eight
ounces of liquid cost six extra ra-
ton points.
Meals that came right of the
can were never the ones that were
talked about! You can make them
more interesting and stretch your
points too by combining canned
vegetables with fresh. A can OF
tomatoes, for example, baked in
casserole with white onions is
much tastier than served alone,
and goes twice as far.
Here are some points to save
points:
Plan your meals ahead OF time,
a week ip advance if possible.
Pick<out weekly shopping
hour, when the store isn't crowd
ed.
Make list of the rationed foods
you have to buy, with an alternate
for each, and be sure you're not
using more points than allowed for
that week. A family of four has
48 points week to spend.
Never buy a processed food
when the same thing is on the
fresh fruit and vegetable counter.
Segregate the rationed from the
unrationed, know what the total
in points is, and have your cou-
pons ready when you pay for the
groceries. Be careful to give exact
number of points called for, as
your grocer can give no change in
points.
Don't spend points for canned
fruit Juices for breakfast. Use the
orange squeezer instead.
Fresh apples are usually avail
able, so make apple sauce instead
of buying it in cans.
Get acquainted with fresh veg
etables you've never tried before.
How about chard, collards, esca-
role 'kale, kohlrabi, okra, parsnips,
or rutabegas? Every one of them
can add vitamins and minerals
to your meals.

To quote an OPA official: "As

seed are exempt from the pro-
cessed foods rationing program

in the price of bananas. Import
ceiling prices in the United

Many plantations in those

Boston HuIts HoodIumism

Boston, October 21. - (UP) - Police Commissioner Joseph F. Timilty has ordered detectives to join augmented police squads pa- trolling the Dorchester and Roxbury districts in an attempt to stamp out Hoodlumism.
 Forty detectives were ordered on duty in the districts last night to supplement 35 extra uniformed men previously assigned. The precau- tionary measures were instigated by Governor Saltonstall as result of an expose of Boston batting which appeared in the New York Newspaper PM.
 At the same time, 1t was an- nounced that the newly-formed in- terdenominational committee named by the governor to study So-called incidents would not act until reports on anti-Semitisrn are compiled by State Public Safety Commissioner John F. Stokes.
 Meanwhile, the Social Service De- partment of the Massachusetts Epis- copal Diocese condemned racialism and called upon Christians and Jews 'to go out of their way to form personal friendships with each other, and for all religious groups to cooperate in their communities with interfaith agencies in seeking to build understanding and good will"

Report Gloom In Berlin

London, Oct. 21 = (U.P.) - Ber- lin dispatches published in neutral countries today reported anxiety and pessimism spreading through Germany as result of the So- viet break through on the Dnieper front and rumors increased that Adolf Hitler has relinquished mill tary control to his generals. The Berlin correspondent of the Stockholm newspaper AftonblaueG said that if the Russians should succeed in widening and deepen ing their penetration behind pne~ propetrovsk, it would ''opc4l xcspsg~ tives which can only mean a disaea ter for the Wehrmacht completely eclipsing Stalingrad."
 A Stockholm dispatch to the Lon- don Daily Mail said that Germany was filled with somber anxiety over the grim news from the ease- ern front"
 "Oficial spokesmen make no sec ret of the fact that the situation 6 increasing in gravity daily - and has not reached the climax" tIa dispatch said.
 The London News Chronicle car@ ried a headline proclaiming. ~Hgs hn's 'blackest day of the war" and the London Daily Telegraph saia that all news from Russian ard German sources indicated that Kll4s ler's armies in the Dnieper Ba face "the gravest crisis since StallN~ grad"

Casualties
 Of5th Army

Washington, Oct. 21.-(UP)- American clements of the Fifth Army in Italy suffered 6,774 casu- alties up to the start of the battle of the Volturno, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson announced today.
 These casualties included 679 killed, 3o47 wounded. and 2s4S miss ing.
 Stimson called attention to the fact the figure for wounded was low CT than the figure of 5428 wounded which he had reported at his press conference Oct. 2. Subsequent re- ports from Allied headquarters in North Africa corrected the earlier figure, he said. He warned that cas- ualty reports on current operations were only approximate.
 He said he understood that cas- ualties suffered by British units in the Fifth Army were somewhat greater by now. As of Oct. they had been smaller than the American,
 The Fifth Army, after crossing the Volturno river against stiff re- sistance and difficult obstacles, now is making substantial progress in the march toward Rome" he told his weekly press conference.
 ''The indications are that German achievements from northern Italy have been brought into the battle and that additional German troops have arrived in Italy," Stimson said.
 Additional enemy fighting planes have also arrived in the battle area. "
 Nevertheless, he said, the Allies continue to maintain aerial superior ity over the western Mediterranean.

May Bomb
 East Indies

Washington, Oct, d. (UP) An aerial offensive against oil-produc- ing facilities in the Japanese-hel Netherlands East Indies was seen as @ possibility today.
 It would have two-fold purpose. First, 1t would hamper Japan's greatly extended supply lines be- cause a vast proportion of the Jap- anese merchant fleet is dependent on cE for fuel. Second, it would ham, string enemy air operations, parti- cularly in the southwest Pacific.
 Japan has other fuel supply sources, particularly in Manchukuo, but they are not believed to be suf- ficient to meet the overall require ents of the widely distributed enemy fighting forces. For that reason, military analysts believe that de- struction of the Indies oil producing facilities would play an important part in the eventual breakdown of Japan's fighting power.
 Some air raids already have been

War Criminals Will Pay For Atrocities

London, Oct. 21.-(UP)-A quar- ter-million German war criminals, the hatchet-men of Hitler's new order, stand open to indictment by the world today with the formation of the Allied War Criminal Com mission which one day will prose- cute the case of humanity against them.
 Retribution for the crimes of these men, and thousands of eQual- ly-guilty Italians and Japanese, was foreshadowed yesterday when rep. TesentativeS of IT of the United Ma tionS met under the chairmanshir of Sir John Simon, British Lord Chancellor, to draw up the legal framework for dealing with Axis atrocities.
 In any civil court they would face the death penalty, and the organiza- ton of the Allied commission prom ises that, in one way or another, they will not be permitted to eS- cape.
 Whether they ever will be brought to the bar of justice is an open question, Certainly more than 25o,- 900 men will never be executed by due process of lLw in postwar world weary of killing.
 But observers are convinced that many thousands of Germans never will survive the eventual collapse of the Nazi regime. The Quislings will be left to their own country

C.NORTHRUP CHARGES ARE
 DISMISSED

Criminal charges against Clarence Northrop, 50, former attendant at the Southbury Training School, were dis missed today by Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell after he ruled the accused was not guilty of gross negli- gence within the meaning of the "cruelty to person" statute, which incorporates the words "wilful" and "un- lawful". Northrop had been charged with manslaughter and "endangering life of child" in connection with the water-hose death August 10 of Bonaventure Rispoli, TO- year-old inmate at the insti- tuition.
 The decision followed a motion for dismissal present. ed by Defense Counsel Sam uel Engleman of Bridgeport yesterday afternoon, after the state rested its case, and argued by the lawyers this morning. No witness had been called by the defense.
 Judge Cornell said he did not find there was any express malice on the part of Northrop when he ordered another inmate, William Kilmer, to bathe the Rispoli boy, and said that although he was satisfied that Nor. throp was negligent for failing to supervise the ward he could moi find that the requirements of the specific statute applied in the case
 The jurist pointed out that the statute, No. 606l, had not been con- strued before, and the counsel said they did not know of any cases that had arisen from similar statutes 1T other states.
 Tn arguing for denial of the de- fense motion, States Attorney VII. liam B. Fitzgerald pointed out tha' the Rispoli boy, whose mental ag, had been said to be that of a six month old child, was completel! helpless, that the boys imbecilit condition was such that he coulc not call for assistance. He said that the Kilmer boys untrustworthiness was known to Northrop. He added that the inmate was unpredictable and might do anything and yet Nor

New Wor Loan Is
 Planned

With Fifth Army, Italy, Oct. 20-- (UP)-Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., today completed visit to the Italian fighting front where he exposed himself to enemy fire and saw first hand the trial of terror and destruction of the re- treating Germans.
 He revealed that fourth war loan drive in the United States is being planned, saying his tour had given him new enthusiasm to put 1t over "in the aggressive spirit of Clark's Fifth Army"
 Morgenthau said his two-day tour made him believe the people back in America should get down on their knees and thank God such things weren't happening there.
 "AI day I was impressed with evidences of the ruthlessness of the German enemy--their murder of in- nocent civilians, the peaceful farm buildings and crops they have de- stroyed and the homes they have ruired," he said. People at home should see these things"
 Morgenthau visited the Volturno front and the Naples area, confer ring with Lieut.. Gen. Mark W. Clark and Allied military govern ment officials.
 He toured the front dressed in civ- ilian clothes, riding alongside Clark in a jeep. In 6 statement to news papermen he said he could assure Clark the fighting forces had nc need to worry about the folks at home, that they are "solidly behind the war and VII provide every dol lar and every piece of material" l" necessary for victory.
 Compares Conditions
 Comparing what he saw here and conditions back home, he added:
 We haven't really begun to make sacrifices in the United States as yet. In contrast with what I've seen sacrifices at home seem small in- deed."

Detroit. Oct. 21 - (U.P.)-Arthur J. Foster, who has been legally dead for seven years, today was with the fighting Canadian army in Eu- rope.
 The woman who "buried' him, his wife Betty, was under police in- vestigation after it was charged that she hid the fact that he was not actually dead and that she had not repaid 94,417 of the insurance she collected after his funeral in 1886. Testimony now in possession of Acting Crown Attorney l.. B. Mac Tavish at Windsor. Ont, and De- troit detectives showed that Foster visited his wife and grave in St. Alph0nsus cemetery, Windsor, just a few weeks before being sent over- seas. The grave is marked Arthur J.
