Stores Ask Right to Pay Drivers
For Packing Boxes They Return

In connection with the national
effort to salvage paper and paste
board cartons, the National Associa-
ton of Department Stores is spon-
soring plan to compensate store
truck drivers for unpacking con-
tainers when they make deliveries
and returning them for use by
the merchant, 1t was learned today.
Irving Fox, attorney for the asso-
citation, which represents about $500
stores, some Of them in the District,
said that the War Labor Board had
granted rehearing on the project.
The WLB first disapproved it some
time ago on the grounds that COM
pensation to the driver might be
considered a. roundabout way of
raising his wages in violation of the
Sterilization order, but now has
agreed to reconsider the matter. No
date has yet been set for the hearing

declares he expressed the sentiment
of Maryland when he announced
his support of Gov Thomas E.
Dewey for the party's presidential
nomination.
Mr.. TAFT said it was his duty as
chairman of the Maryland State
Republican Central Committee to
ascertain party preferences and seek
their official expression.
, In a statement yesterday he an
swered what he said was "a babel
of claims and charges" arising from
his conference in New York with
Gov. Dewey.
Mr.. TAFT and Mayor Theodore r.
McKeldin of Baltimore said after
visiting Gov. Dewey that they had
assured the New York Governor Of
Maryland's support and that Gov.
Dewey is 100 per cent candidate"
Gov. Dewey has not indicated
whether he will seek the nomination.
Other Maryland Republican Lead
ers protested the statements and de-
manded that Gov. Dewey clarity his
position, asserting that Mr. TAFT and
Mr.. McKeldin were Commissioner

Alexandra Robberies
Believed Solved BY
Arrest Of 7 Youths
Gang Headquarters
Found in Abandoned
Antioireroft Dueout

A recent series of burglaries and
automobile thefts in Alexandria
were believed by police to have
been solved today with the arrest of
seven youths who made their gang
headquarters in an abandoned anti
aircraft battery dugout on Swami

found in their headquarters" when
1t was raided Thursday by Sergt.
Warren Zimmerman, Detective j. G.
Shaw and Patrolman George Crow
der. The others were taken into
custody later.
The dugout recently had been
abandoned by an antiaircraft crew
which moved its gun to another To-
cation. The boys had discovered
the cave and furnished it COM
fortably with cots and chairs which
police said were taken from a near
by Government trailer camp.
With the arrest of the youths,
ranging in age from IA to Is, Alex
andria police said they believed the
following crimes in addition to the
theft of Mr.. Willis taXicab have
been solved: The theft of 81 pack
ages of cigarettes from a service
station on April 4, 1913; theft of $50
worth of baseball equipment from
the George Washington High School

Of course, if the venison is young
as we said before, it will not need
the marinade and can be roasted
with pan drippings only, a. you
would with any other roast
Venison outlets, are, to my way Of
thinking, the best of all. And so
easy to do. Take the outlets, mari
mated or not, and salt and pepper
them lightly. Have ready a heavy
iron skillet, piping hot, and scar the
outlets for second or two on each
side Then pour into the skillet a
mixture of a glass of currant ,"Lv
melted with a lump Of butter, 2
glasses of fine I'd wine, cl-ss of
dry sherry and little salt and pep
per. Let the outlets COOK in this
until just rare, remove them from
the pan, reduce the sauce slightl.y
and serve with the outlets.
With any cut of venison real game
lovers prefer wild rice or la.ge hon.
my, steamed and dressed witr but

floated-the theory being that "ef

float right away" Then she dried
each nut, slit the shell about half
an inch Of each side, put them In q
saucepan and added a couple of
tablespoons of cooking oil. Then she
shook the pan over the heat for 5
minutes and popped it into the hot
oven for another minutes When
the nuts cooled, it was easy to peel
of the shells with sharp knife.
To make the stuffing, one covers
about a pound of shelled chestnuts
prepared in this manner, with boil
ing salted water and SINNERS them
about 20 minutes, until they are ten

Half a cup of butter and margarine

pan and in it are fried cups of
chopped celery and / cup chopped
onion, cooking until they are soft,
but not too brown. A spoonful or
so Of watercress or chopped parsley,
beaten-up egg and 6 cups of bread
crumbs now are put in the pan and
heated through. Then in go the
chestnuts, nicely mashed and
smooth; pepper, salt, bit Of cay
enne and maybe just a small wine
glass Of Madeira wine, if you have it.
The mixture must be stirred well
and allowed to heat through before
being stuffed, hot, into the turkey.
This ought to be just about right
for 10-pound bird.

you into a happy transcontinental

II YOU have ever heard some one
say-"Venison? Oh, no. can't abide
1t! It's much too dry and tough
you'll know they have been mis-
treated. For venison, properly pre-
pared is the sweetest, tenderest,
juiciest meat in the world.
The secret of making old venison
melt in your mouth according to the
great Escoffier, is the strict ad-
herence to three initial steps in its
preparation-the hanging, the
marinade and the larding. For
very young deer the hanging time
may be reduced and the marinade
omitted-but the larding, never. If
you have a friendly butcher, ask him
not only to hang the meat for you-
he'll advise you as to the length of
time-but also, when dressing it, to
lard it as we'll
Escoffier'S recipe for marinating
the older venison is simple. The
meat is salted, peppered and then
laid in large deep bowl on bed
of chopped carrots and onions,
mixed with chopped shallots, parsley
stalks, bay leaf and thyme in pro-
portion. Over meat and all goes
copious dose of good olive oil and
then one-half as much vinegar is
added. The dish is covered with
oiled paper and the whole set away
in a cool place. The meat must be
turned three or four times day,
covering it well with layer OF vege-
tables each time Outlets need only
a day in the marinade: large sad
die or haunch may well stay for
two days.
A saddle of venison is lovely
party dish. If the butcher has
larded it prettily for you or you
have done it yourself all down the
length, with slivers of salt pork
tucked in crosswise you will have a
Professionalism roast that Is fit
for king. Roast the saddle in a
shallow pan on its bed of marinade
vegetables about 10 minutes to the
pound. Baste it frequently with
mixed red wine and water, to which
melted butter has been added. Do
not cook it beyond the rare stage.
When the roast is done take it
from the pan, add some of the juice
of the marinade to the juices and
vegetables in the pan and cook it
until it is almost entirely reduced.
Clear it of all grease, add to it half
pint of cream and a powdered
juniper berry df you can get iD, re-
duce again to one-third, stir and
strain through a sieve and serve in
a sauceboat with the venison.
If it's haunch of venison you're
coping with, treat it the same as the
saddle as far as the marinade goes
Lard it literally, and; before cook
ing, wrap the hoof in thick slices OF
fat salt pork to keep it from cha.4g
ing color. Basic the - :, lyin., cn
its marinade vegetables, the sam. as
you did the saddle. -vhen the meat
Is half dc1e, turn it over to c~,s or
the other side. Before is served,
unwrap the hoof and collar 1t with
paper frill. The same sauce may be
used or you may prefer currant Jelly
melted down with butter, red wine
and dash Of madeira.
