duratl0n! Apples are plentiful an apple pie has long been a top favorite. So plan on havin' spicy, fragrant apple pie often. You can make it a deep-dish apple pie or just an ordinary "pie-pan pie" with a tender, flaky top crust only. One crust pies naturally take just half as much shortenin'.
 For change, try prepared choco- late or vanilla puddin' in a crispy pie shell made with purer all-vege- table Spry shortenin'. Whatever the fillin', the delicate nutsweet Spry pastry lets you get it's FULL f1avory goodness. An even a beginner can make perfect pastry Spry's easy2-step way. Save this receipt, use it for all your pies an hear the compliments on 'em.
 Spry pastry for one-crust pie Mix 1 fl cups sifted ALL-PURPosE FLOUR and 15 teaspoon salt. Meas ure out z tablespoons sPRy and di- vide into two equal parts. |, STEP 1 for Tenderness -cut in
 first half of Spry until fine as meal.
 This takes only a minute with
 soft, creamy Spry.
 STEP 2 for Flakiness cut in re-
 maining Spry until particles are
 size of large peas.
 Add 3 tablespoons COLD WATER (no more, no less), mixing thoroughly into a dough. Roll 1 inch thick. Cut afew slits in pastry and fit over sliced, sweetened, spiced apples in pie pan or deep dish and bake in hot oven (4250 F. 50 to 60 minutes.

BiIbo's Talk AssaiIed
As Vicious Doctrine

Mrs. Katherine Shryver. executive
secretary of the National Committee
to Abolish the Poll Tax, declared to-
day that the speech of Senator
Bilbo. Democrat, of Mississippi be-
fore his State Legislature yesterday
showed his fears of free ballot
both in the District OF Columbia and
in his own poll-tax South"
Declaring Santor Bilbo was elected
by the vote of only per cent of the
people of Mississippi, Mrs. Shryver
said the Senator discussed race as
poets because he feared democracy
itself. Mrs. Shryver said in a
statement
The American ideals of Majority
government are abhorrent to this
poll-tax Senator, who has threat
ened to flilibuSter a bill that would
otherwise become law. He would
limit the 10000, 900 adults in eight
poll-taX States to 100000 voters,
even If to do so he must insult our
Army and Navy, and our Allies He
as frightened man.
We call on the United States
Senate to reject the influence of this
vicious doctrine, to put its full
weight behind the right OF the ma
Iority and TO pass the antipoll tax
bill

Student support of the movement

DALMATIAN ISLE
TAKEN BY NAILS
Yugoslav Patriots Aided By
Women In Four-Day
Fight
By EDWARD KENNEDY

A YUGOSLAv PATRIOT CAMP
IN ITALY, Jan. 3.-(Delayed)-tR
The story of a German amphib-
ious operation which succeeded
after fierce opposition from Yugo-
Slav patriots including women
combatants-wa disclosed here
today.
The operation resulted in the
German capture of the strategic
island of Korcula on the Dalma-
tan coast, but only after grim
fighting. S ! hundred Ger
mans lost their lives, some OF
them in the cold waters OF the
Adriatic after women fighters
tossed grenades into their rubber
rowboats.
The account of the battle was
brought here by Capt. Boydan Pc
cotic of Marshal Josip Broz'
(Tito's) 18th Delmation Brigade,
who commanded part of the force
which defended the island for four
days.
In the current campaign against
Tito's army, the Germans have
been moving northWard with a
large force along the Dalmatian
coast in an effort to annihilate
the patriot forces along the coast
and in the bordering islands ano
seal the Yugoslavs from outside
help.

but mile off the Peljesac PENN
sula, occupied early this month

rowed.
