Precooking Of the vegetables
is a requisite in the above given
recipes. This is because hot
pack is preferred TO cold pack
for number of reasons. Pre-
cooking drives out the air and
helps retain vitamins. 1t shrinkS

canned in one Jar. 1t means the
actual processing begins sooner

open until the steam escapes
from il in a steady stream for
Z minutes. Then close and allow
the pressure to rise TO the de-
sired point; count processing
time from the moment this
point is reached.
At the end Of the processing
period remove the Gamer from
the heat but do not place on
cold surface. Let cool until the
gauge registers zero before
y opening petcock, and then open
IT gradually. Remove the cover,
fitting It so that the steam is
directed away from ones face.
Remove Jars with litter after

AIR FORCE CHIEF
Halls HIS CREW
Arnold Says Cost In Men
And Planes Justified
By Work

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. -P-
General H. H. Arnold today hailed
the achievements of American air
men as overwhelmingly 1ustifying
the cost in men and money.
The chief of the Army Air For
ces, commenting crisply on discus
sion of the 60-bomber, seaman
crew loss in the October IA raid
over Schweinfurt, Germany, term
ed the loss incidental.
"You can't run a war on a dol.
lar basis" he asserted, "but if
you want to put it on that basis
consider the dollars in what we
have destroyed"
General Arnold had invited "a
Air Force headquarters in the
Pentagon building over two-score
reporters, news executives, radio
commentators and columnists. In
each chair was found a school
davs-stvle tablet and sharp pencil.
The general, flanked by aides with
charts and pictures, sat near the
head of long table. AS many
guests as could sat around the
table. Others occupied chairs that
lined the walls.

Kirke Simpson Says:
Triple Crises For Foe
Dominate The War Ne1us

Russian observers report the sit
uation potentially even more criti-
cal for the Germans than was the
Stalingrad trap which cost the
Nazis more than 100000 men in
prisoners alone. Berlin advices
stress the size of Red armies being
thrown into the action both in the
upper trans Dnieper bridgehead
positions and to the south in the
Melitopol battle. That both oper-
ations have become desperate
rearguard stands to permit escape
of the Dnieper loop defenders and
the Crimea garrison is virtually
admitted by Berlin in using the
"detaching movement" phrase.
In Italy. Anglo-American forces
appear to have made good their
footing in the Volturno plains north
of the river, and to be driving up
the left bank of the stream farther
east toward a junction with the
columns in the center, already
north of Vinchiaturo. The objec-
tive appears to be to turn the
flank of the Nazi defense line north
of the lower Volturno, strongly es-
tablished in the hills that rim the
Volturno plain.
The stubbornness of the N i
stand above the punctured Voltur-
no line is itself significant. 1t in
