WLb Plans 10 Continue
Wage Deliberations
Without AFL HeIp

By the Associated Press.
The War Labor Board plans to
work on through Its important
! wage and living cost deliberations
without the help Of AFL labor men,
bers, who have served notice they
don't like the boards procedure
and are taking walk for awhile.
The decision of George Meany,
AFL secretary-treasurer, and Mat
thew Woll to take no further part
in consideration of wage cases in
volving a change in the Little
Steel" formula until the question
Of breaking it had been disposed
of by the board, was described by
Chairman William H. Davis as
deeply regretted" by other men,
bers.
Discussion to Start Tuesday.
But, Mr.. Davis said, the discussion
Of the public members proposed re-
port to the President on the status
|of wage earners under the wartime
boom economy, and host of CIO
union demands in eight industries,
will start next Tuesday, as previ-
|ously decided.
The chairman said a motion could
be made at next Tuesdays meeting
to abandon the procedure adopted
by that vote, but until such a move
carried, he expects to follow the ma
jority decision. Mr.. Meany and Mr..
Woll, joined by CIO members r. J.
Thomas of the United Automobile
Workers and Emil Rieve of the Tex
tile Workers, had voted against TAX
ing up the wage report and the CIO
cases next Tuesday. The CIO mem
bers explained they wanted to start
at once.
Union Rivalry Behind Move.
Underlying the whole move is the
AFL-CIO rivalry. BY proceeding
next Tuesday, the board is making
it possible to give the CIO unions
some important gains over the pro-
test of the ALF members, who want
a horizontal wage increase through
modification of the Little Steel"
formula
Adding its voice to the critical
labor reaction to the boards forth
coming wage report, .the United
Mine Workers journal, in an edi-
torial, commented:
The fact is that there is not
going to be any 'upping' of the
Little Steel formula-either now
or after the election The MJP
wants to take over reconversion
wage rates. They want to perpetu-
ate themselves as a compulsory
board of arbitration with authority
to impose whatsoever wages and
working conditions upon American
workingmen that the political con-
sideration of the times dictates"

Ace Mat Foe SOUGHT
For Fast Commando

Uncle Joe Turner today is dicker-
ing with several tophight wrestling
contenders to meet the new star of
his stable, the Masked Commando.
IN the feature spot on the Turner
Arena bill next Wednesday night.
The purpled-hooded attraction has
racked up five wins here, and has
turned out to be the best crowd
pleaser to hit town in recent weeks.
The Swedish Angel and his
French nightmare twin are being
offered terms to meet the new ace
and It's possibility that the Com
mando will be sent against Michele
Leone. He tangled with Leone here
recently, became too enthusiastic
with his roughness and drew a dis
qualification.
Since then the Commando has
hoped to land a rematch with the
equally colorful wrestler.

Dewey Ignored 8OO9b
Boost in War Budget,
White House Says
BY the Associated Press.


The White House says Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, in referring in
his Minneapolis speech to a Budget
Bureau cut of $552, 900, 900 in funds
for the War Department, empha-
sized per cent cut and ignored
an 300 per cent increase" over the
previous fiscal years funds.
In statement handed newsmen
late yesterday the White House
said:
Mr.. Dewey's statement at Min
neapolis October "a, as quoted in the
press, was: 1T was right in the fall
of 1899 after the Second World War
was actually begun that Mr.. Roose-
velt's Budget Bureau cut out $751;
100000 of amounts certified by the
Army for critical and essential
items
Regular Budget Cut.
"Mr. Dewey is obviously referring
to the budget for the fiscal year
1941 which was prepared in the fall
of 1899. His quotation of the Presi-
dent was also taken from the
budget message for fiscal 1941.
The cut of $552,000, 900 to which
Mr.. Dewey refers was made under
regular Budget Bureau procedure
and scrutiny over a period of Is
months from nine major regular and
supplemental recommendations for
War Department appropriations for
the fiscal year 1941 which totaled
S8,038, 8,550,718. Thus the cut Mr..
Dewey mentioned amounted to less
than Z per cent of the total, not the
% per cent cut inferred.
On the other hand, the $8,O3s.-
550,7l8 recommended by the Bureau
of the Budget for the War Depart
ment for fiscal 194l compared to
1895, 745, ,260 for the previous fiscal
year, an increase of almost 300 per
cent.
Ignores 800 Per Cent Increase.
Mr.. Dewey is in the position of
emphasizing per cent cut and
ignoring the 300 per cent increase
in spite of the cut. Furthermore
for the same fiscal year, contract
authorizations for the Army recon-
mended by the Budget Bureau to-
tailed an additional 5000 900 900
Thus the total of recommended ap-
preparations and contract authorize
tions for the War Department for
ls41 was more than l3 times those
OF the previous wear"

Curry Is a Ritual

As our attention will be turning
more and more now to the Pacific
area. we will be interested in be-
coming acquainted with some of the
dishes for which that part of the
world Is famous.
Among these are the curries, which
have enjoyed high favor in India,
in the Straits Settlements and the
Dutch West Indies. Colonists in
those sections are as particular about
their currieS as We are about our
clam chowders-only more so!
Each locality has its special ver-
sion OF the meal-for q properly
served curry. Is a meal in itself.
Each one has its own blend of
curry powder-a jealousy guarded
secret in most instances-and its
own selection Of odds and ends to
serve alongside. The sole item on
which they all agree is that every
curry must be served with steamed
rice, cooked as dry and fluffy as it
Is humanity possible to do.
/. A few years before the war, I was
taken to lunch at the famous East
India Club in st. James Square in
London, by friend of mine, a re-
tired British general. At this club,
the curry is fearsome and wonder
full thing, served with a ritual that
has not varied over a period of
many years. The curry powder
used is-or waS-especially ground
and blended for the c1up py a recipe
known only to those within its sacred
portals. Mutton was the chosen
meat; the rice special breed i'm
ported from a certain section in
India. With the curry was served

pale India ale-unchilled, in fact,
at just about room temperature.
And there were only two of the many
possible side kicks-Bombay duck.
which isn't duck at all but dried
fish with more than pungent
odor, and a spicy chutney-also spe-
cial to the club.
This restraint was quite a de-
parture from the usual panoply at
tendant on the serving of curry,
when dishes of chopped hard cooked
egg, minced raw onion, grated Coco
nut, ground peanuts, poppadums-
imported from India in the good old
days by the fancy grocery stores
plus the Bombay duck and the in
eVltable chutney, are usually brought
on In endless array. These are
sprinkled in turn over the meat, all
stirred together in rather messy
fashion, and consumed-apparently,
With intense enjoyment.
On the occasion of my luncheon
at the club, fell into complete dis
grace, because the curry was so
outrageously hot-in the spicy sense
OF the Word-that I ordered an ice
afterward to cool of and brought
down on myself the shocked disap-
proval OF every Britisher in the
room!
A curry is bit elaborate to pre-
pare, but you can make it as fussy
or as simple as you like in the serv-
ing. 1t is an excellent way to use
up cold meat-especially chicken or
lamb. Here is how it is done:

Chicken Aspic Salad

Looking pretty enough to be a
table centerpiece, our chicken aspic
contains symmetrical pieces of white
meat of chicken, peas, diced celery
and pimiento stars" Just a glance
at the fancy "icehke" aspic mold in
the picture on this page is enough
to make you hungry
The strips of meat of the second
layer are directly beneath the first,
so that they seem to reflect the top
ones in the gelatin mirror" You II
notice the peas and celery of the
foundation layer peeking through
the gelatin. Brightness is added
with the pimiento cut outs" placed
IN the gelatin between the slices
of chicken near the top. If you don't
have trick gadgets to cut the pi-
miento, cut squares, diamonds or
strips with knife.
Celery curls and radish roses re-
posing temptingly alongside the
mold are an added attraction.
For a nice yield of meat and good
rich stock-the basis of the aspic-
buy one of the plump, point free,
stewing hens that are a particu-
larly good buy now. Barely cover
the cleaned. disjointed chicken
with water; add a carrot, rib or

l. If wooden handles on pots or
frying pans wear out, or get burned,
replace them with series OF empty

wooden top for a lid. Put a screw
down the center and put nut on
the bottom of the screw.
2. In cleaning out the fireplace,
wear a medium size paper bag on
each hand. This is dustproof and
saves the CRIME from getting all
over hands and wrists.
3. Had an aluminium drip coffee
