his way.
The waterproof bulletin also
points out that the meat, blood and
juice of sea turtles are good to eat
and that a turtle can be easily
caught with a grapple or large hook
or harpoon. The hot sun will
bring clear oil out of turtle fat,
into which sea biscuit can then be
dipped. But turtle fishermen are
warned that even after a turtles
head is cut off, the jaws may con-
tract into dangerous bite and the
claws may draw themselves into
what will mean nasty scratch.
All birds are worth catching, not
only for food, bait and feathers for
fishing jigs, but also to provide skin
and feathers for insulation against
the cold nights. Feathers stuffed
inside mans shirt help keep him
warm and the dried skin of bird
makes a covering for the neck and
back against the dangerous ocean
sun. Warnings are given against
eating the meat or liver of sharks,
skates or rays, unless there is plenty
of water at hand.
Poison Types Listed.
Jellyfish, sea snakes, parrot fish
and puffer fish, the instructions
continue, are poisonous.
Various instructions for obtain
ing sustenance on land also are
given and assurance is made that
nearly all native peoples are friend

AS for birds and animals on tropi-
cal islands, survivors are told they
can safely eat monkeys, bats, liz
yards, land turtles, frogs and even
snakes. Grubs and grasshoppers,
toasted on stick, are safe to eat
but not caterpillars.
AS for Vegetation, the document

Ceilings on Livestock
To Halt Black Markets
In Meat Considered }
Lot of Time Needed
To Work Out Plons,
Officials Emphasize
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government may clamp price
ceilings on livestock in an effort to
halt black markets" In meat.
Price Administrator Brown dis
closed today that tentative plans
are being studied to limit the amount
of money which farmers can accept
for their cows, pigs and other meat
animals.
Illicit slaughterers now are able
to outbid legitimate dealers because
the latter are compelled to operate
under packing and retailing price
controls.
Better Distribution Seen.
Together with rationing, stricter
regulations, publicity about the
health dangers of eating illicitly
slaughtered meat, Mr.. Brown said.
the plan ought to bring about more
equitable distribution Of available
supplies.
Government and packing officials
have estimated that between S and
20 per cent of the civilian supply
has been going recently to black
markets" but Mr.. Brown said 1t was
| improper to blame farmers for SELL
ing their animals TO the highest bid
| ders.
Farmers are low-abiding citizens, :"
he said, land there is no law against
these sales.
When we place ceilings on live
stock-and we are seriously consid-
ering doing that am sure the
farm people will abide by that"
Difficulties Cited.
He made no comment on the pos
sible opposition of farm leaders who
have opposed price restrictions on
farm products.
Mr.. Brown proposed to specify
just what prices farmers could
charge for their live animals, and
thus eliminate the incentive to sell
to Illicit slaughterers.
Other officials indicated, however,
that livestock ceilings would involve
a host of technical difficulties and
cautioned that 1t might take consid-
cradle time to work out plan.

Fishing Kits Devised to Bring
Sea Survivors Food and Drink
Navy Outfit, With Practical Instructions,
To Go in Lifeboots and Rubber Rufts

The Navy has evolved a 2-quart-
size fishing kit that should enable
victims of future torpedoings and
plane crashes to catch enough fish
to keep them alive while they battle
the ocean. The kit is the result OF
the experiences of men who have
spent hungry DAYS in lifeboats and
life RATS.
The kits, comprising lines, bait
sinkers and full directions on emer-
gency-not sportmg-fishing will be
standard equipment on lifeboats and
RATS on all Navy and merchant
ships of 1000 tons or more. A SINH
lar but lighter kit will be carried on
RATS used by airplane pilots.
These kits, which may mean life
or death to the survivors, will con-
tain a dozen dehydrated pork rinds
for bait, a sharp knife that will float
should it fall into the water, va
rious hooks and rigs, small dip net,
pair of cotton work gloves and in
structions printed on waterproof
paper. First delivery is scheduled
for February 20.
Supplies Drink Also.
The directions point out that fish
can supply both food and drink for
the drifting survivors of a sunken
ship. Fish juice, the directions state.

to be safe for drinking, but to have
a taste much like the Juice of oysters
or clans.
In stern paragraph of the direc-
tons, the unfortunate survivors are
warned to forget any sporting fish,
ing experiences and to catch a
smaller fish rather than try for the
large ones The big fish are likely
TO break the line, cut off the bait,
cAtssthe fisherman's hands or eUen
upset the boat, 1t is explained.
Users of the kit are also told to
keepsaapart of the shrSt bird OF fisn
they catch to use for bait and are
advised to use live bait whenever
possible. Suggestions are even made
Of means to trick a fish into biting
on hook baited with button or
a narrow strip OF leather or canvas
when the actual bait is gone.
Cautioned on Sharks.
The occupants OF lifebosts also
are warned not to fish when sharks
are around because sharks are likely
to niRsoff mans hand. If shark
become stoo inquisitive, the instruc-
tons advise hitting him on the nose

NEW YORK, Feb. GA War
Committee of American paper man

terday their industry faces new
Government restrictions, said last
night a total misconception" of
factors affecting paper and pulp
exists.
In a statement the War Industry
Committee of the American Paper
and Pulp Association gave reasons
which it said should obviate the
necessity for curtailment of produc-
ton"
The paper men said capacity Of
the industry to produce will be
fully required in the Nations war

Their declaration followed an ad-
dress by Edward r. Gay, director Of

put of paper is essential for mill
tary and civilian use.
New Slash Forecast.
Another speaker, however, warned
that 10 per cent slash in printing
papers, including newsprint, could
be expected about April /, in addi-
ton to current curtailment averag-
ing about 10 per cent.
The War Industry Committee said ::
Capacity is entirely adequate to
produce ample supplies of paper re-
quired for Government, war and
civilian activities.
THE paper industry power sit
uation is favorable as the industry
produces 10 per cent of the power
consumed, compared with 80 per
cent for all other manufacturing
industries.

copper, aluminium, iron, steel, rub
Der, etc, are incorporated in the end
product and only insignificant guam
titles used for maintenance OF equip
ment.
Only per cent of United States
carloadings are used for inbound
and outbound shipments by the
paper industry.
The War Manpower Commission
should recognize the necessity of
maintaining skilled woodsmen in
present occupations.
Barely Enough Pulpwood.
Mr.. Gay said the latest estimate
of pulpwood supplies indicate barely
enough to produce the quantities
Of paper and paper board we believe
will be needed before the year is
over"
A. G. Wakeman, paper chief of
the WPB, warned the printing in
dustry to be prepared for another
10 per cent cut in printing papers,
including newSprint, about April /.

Office of Defense Transportation,
told the industry group that it had

their peak when war production hits

Mr.. Eastman said that drastic ra-
tioning OF passenger travel for civil
ians would be necessary If the neces-
sary cut is not made voluntarily. He
said that the armed forces already
had taken up so per cent of all Pull

NEA Shorts Editor

New York, Sept. 20-Billy South
worth and Joe Mccarthy are oppo-
sites In many ways, yet the man
ayers Of the World Series clubs at
tain the same goal. Both bring the
ability and capacity Of their clubs to
a meeting point.
Mccarthy Is the old line manager
who takes great pains never to work
a pitcher out of turn. Mccarthy will
leave q pitcher who is being hit in
the box longer than Southworth,
who is perhaps quicker on the trig-
ger in every sense. Naturally, the
Yankees head man will speed up
pitching decisions in a World Series,
but his main idea throughout q sea-
son is to build confidence and
avoid filters.
Mccarthy hides In the dugout
without a number on his back.
Southworth is very much In evidence
in the third base coach's box with a
number as big as any Of his Card
inals.
TWO MISTAKES TOO MANY
Southworth is out Of the dugout
with the slightest lapse of ST..
Louis pitcher. There follows a brief
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-09-29

colloquy, and out comes the pitcher
with the next false move.
Southworth obviously considers
that one Of the secrets of successful
managing Is to know exactly when
to yank q pitcher.
The younger Cardinals reflect
their dashing manager. They are
the more highly strung. Although
they are the World Champions
they lack the poise and looseness
Of the Yankees, who act like their
cold and calculating manager. The
Cardinals are fiery and full Of
fight. The Yankees simply play
their game, let the other fellows
worry about themselves.
The deader ball this year had
all good managers playing closer
to the book than heretofore.
Even with Country Slaughter
gone, Southworth possesses more
power than he had In 1912. Yet ne
has been ultra conservative at
times this season. He had batters
sacrifice in early innings, gambled
that his pitcher could hold one
run lead.
MCCARTHY SHOOTS WORKS
Mccarthy has been unable to
turn on clusters Of runs as he has
In years gone by. yes he Is still
inclined to go for the long one.
This no doubt is due to the pres
ence in his batting order Of more
potential home run manufacturers
than any other club can boast, not
the least Of whom is King Kong
Keller.
There was q grand example OF
Mccarthy shooting for the works
in the ninth inning of Spud
Chambers l4th inning pennant
clincher against the Tigers. Two
men flied out and the third
grounded out with runner or
first base. No attempt was made
to sacrifice and this held true wher
the winning run was scored.
Figures don't always tell the story
The Yankees are not nearly as fast
as the Cardinals, yet have stoler
more bases. The Cardinals swipeo
less bases this year than they die
last. Southworth explains that the
Red Birds are baserunners, not base
stealers. They hit and run, etc. With
men on base there Is a sign on
every pitch.
The managing Of Joe Mccarthy
and Billy Southworth stresses the
value Of club spirit.
The Yankees are remindful of an
orderly fraternal group.
The Cardinals have the verve OF
a college football varsity.

Boston, Sept. 2e-(UP)-Ike VIII
hams, Trenton, N. j., Junior light
weight, was signed as q substitute
today to meet Maurice Lefty La
Chance Of Lisbon, Me-, at Mech
anics building Friday in his last
fight before entering the U. s. Mar
ines.
williams, enc Of the ranking
boxers In action today, agreed to
meet La Chance after Cleo Shans
Of Los Angeles sustained an eye cut
that needed eight stitches to close.
It will mark the second time that
Williams and La Chance have met
on substitute basis.
On the night last spring that
Henry Armstrong stopped Tommy
Jessup Of Springfield In Boston Gar
den In q 60-second workout. Will
harns was scheduled to meet Jes-
sup's brother Kelly.
But Kelly failed to appear and La
Chance without any preliminary
training went in as O substitute.
That meeting between williams and
La Chance was classed as one Of
the best boxing exhibitions In the
city with williams winning on a
split decision.
Now It's williams turn to serve
as a substitute.
Probably none OF the boxers in
action today have had the rapid
rise that has marked Williams
climb In ring circles. From a semi.
finalist, the Negro fash has stepped
into the top spots In q half-dozen
arenas because OF the shortage OF
boxers.
Williams most notable triumph
was at Hartford, Conn.,, a month
