Three Maryland Men
Accused Of illegally
Transporting Meat

Government sources today prom
ised redoubled efforts to stamp Out
black market operations following
indictment yesterday by the Distric,
grand jury of three Maryland men
on charges of illegal transportation
of meat from Maryland into the
District
Named in the indictment were
Ralph w. Miller of Lantz, Lawrence
A. Dorsey of Woodsboro, and w. G..
Turner of Hagerstown. Investiga-
tors said the men operated stands at

demagoguery.
Against that, as I say, there Is
no rational defense. No, there is
certainly no legal Justification, nor
hardly a moral one for saying that

Would Place Self in "Doghouse."
Mrs. Luce described herself as one
of those incidentally" among the
100000 taxpayers who she said
would be placed in the "doghouse by
her own amendment.
AS for the others adversely affected
by her amendment, she believed they
would sin the end, approve of it
heartily"
'"Not only will they deem it
privilege to sacrifice most to win
this war, but they will see deeper
than the political imperatives which
dictate the amendment; they will
see that If such an amended bill
passes in the year l943, it will have
been established conclusively beyond
the power of any Communist or
labor organization to contradict that
this is not a rich mans war" she
said.
I'm my opinion, neither empty
pocketbooks nor empty stomachs are
necessary today, or will be necessary
tomorrow if we don't favor too many
empty heads and empty hearts here
in Congress"
She urged amendment of the
Carlson-Ruml plan so that it will
not be said of this in "A: 1t was
bill which 'forgave' the poor man
what he had never been able to lay
by anyway, and returned, special
delivery, to the rich man the big
package which he had already
wrapped up to send to his Nations

$3,016, 1858, or $488 share, in 1912,
compared with $2,473,1 ,16O, or 1898 a

announced today in the annual re-
port. :
Earnings did not include 1894, 4,845
from the sale of flight equipment
sold at the direction of the Gov
ernment and were computed after
provision for Federal income taxes
and the preferred stock dividend.
Private initiative built in this
country during the years of peace,
the finest commercial air transport
| system in the world. During this
war we believe the importance of
the commercial airlines of the
United States to both the produc-
ton front and the fighting front is
being manifested daily" Mr.. Kemp
declared.
In order to concentrate more of
its efforts on combat problems, the
Government called upon the COM
mercial airlines to operate COM
prehensive network of domestic
cargo routes entirely for the Air
Forces. A substantial number of
our commercial planes were sold at
the direction of, or leased to, the
Government. Many Of these were
reassigned to the airlines for ex-
elusive operation in military service
IN behalf Of and under contract
with the War Department."

Uncle Rays 'sCorner

Many soldiers of the United Ma
tions are getting to see more maca-
roni and spaghetti than they ever
saw before. am thinking Of the
men who have gone into Italy to
drive out the Germans.
Italy is the original home OF mac
aroni, and the yellowish-white food
product is a national dish among
Italians. So far as the wheat supply
has held out, it has been made all
through the war. The Italians have
been on short rations, but macaroni
has kept an important place on their
tables, also spaghetti and vermicelli.
A special kind OF wheat is used in
making macaroni. This wheat has
more gluten in it than most other
wheat, and it is widely grown in
Southern Europe and Algeria. Now
that sea routes are open between
Southern Italy and Northern Africa.
the supply OF macaroni wheat
should become better.
The wheat is ground and the bran
taken out. Then water is added to
Evening star., 1943-11-10

the powdered wheat and 4 dough
is prepared.
Macaroni making machines press
the dough into tubes. An old custom
in Naples and some other Italian
cities has been to hang the macaront
up to dry on wooden rods in shops
or even out on the edge Of the side
walk.
To handle macaroni in that way
is to invite germs which are spread
by flies or dust. The macaroni must
be cooked before eating and that
should kill the germs, but people in
our land would rather have their
macaroni come in boxes from .
sanitary factory.
One excuse may be given for
hanging macaroni in public view
If it is dried by hanging over a rod
Italians say 1t is proof that 1t was
made with the right kind of four.
/ When made Of -four taken from the
wrong kind of wheat it will break
when hung up.
! Spaghetti is more popular with
many Italians than macaroni. 1t is
made in much the same way but is
pressed from the machines so it
comes out as string or cord, instead
OF a tube. The word spaghetti"
means little cord"

Of the macaroni family. It comes

GREENBRIER
(Sn,ildr rotundifolia)

brier is established in the moist
soil to be found in thickets, woods
and roadside fences, throughout the
Eastern United States.
The small, greenish flowers do not
attract the attention of any but a
miscellaneous group Of flies. The
fragrance of the blossoms Is neg
ligible, so far as humans are con-
cerned, but 1t is carried on the air
waves to the flies, which are well
come partners. They arrive and
dine and transport the pollen from
one ripe blossom to another.
The leaves are a beautiful glossy
deep green of roundish shape and
very decorative. They look often
tempt one to venture close, but
seeing the array of thorns, one de-
cides the leaves are not worth the
struggle.
This foliage serves a neighbor
very well, however. The yellow
breasted chat finds the greenbrier a
haven against foes, and here she
hides her nest. From this citadel
Madam Chat can go and come with
feeling Of safety about her eggs
as well as her noisy brood.
The fruit, when ripe. is BLUSH
black. Birds feast on these berries,
and, Of course, drop the seeds far
away from the parent plant. AS
birds love to gather along fence
rails and telegraph wires, the seed
children, which have given of their
spicy coat for the price of trans
portation, are dropped on the
ground
Fallen leaves and debris cover
the seeds. Later, they put forth
a small root and gradually creep
into the soil that is being made
by decaying material above them
In short time, small greenbriers
will be pushing their way toward
the sun, either to join the plants
already established in this spot or to
begin TO form group OF their own.
These plants are worthy citizens
Their roots hold the valuable soil

in place. Their berries nourish,
birds which keep insect pests within
bounds, their foliage hides the nests
and nestlings of birds which render
lovely songs and add charm to the
landscape by their beautiful plum
age. Though humble in It's way,
the greenbrier is not giving OF its
own resources for what it receives
In return. 1t is q valuable neighbor
in its special niche. ~

than exceptional. The logs and re-
ports of ships masters to the own
ers are loaded with such miscon-
duct but the political influence over
the Maritime Commission and the
shipping administration is so strong
that the Coast Guard has impound-
ed the official logs as secret docu-
ments, although they are supposed
to be public records, so that the
relatives of patriotic enlisted sail
ors who have to sail with such
trash for much less pay can't read
what goes on. In this way, too, the
political command over the Coast
Guard is protecting the reputation
of a Communist-front group which
has received great encourag cement
from Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Per-
kins and, in previous times, when
it had jurisdiction, from the New
Deal Department of Commerce.
In this way, too, Frank Knox,
who has jurisdiction over the Coast
Guard which impounded the evil
dence of such evil conduct aboard
the merchant ships, is covering up
riff-raff who plague his own Navy
man and jeopardize their lives, and
all this comes under the head OF
abor's gains
