Extremely bruised or crushed
spinach is wasteful. Allow third

In preparing, wash the spinach
thoroughly, Lift the vegetable from

but be quick, for you lose food value
if you let the leaves soak in water.
Cook for only a short time in the

The startling fact that American
heavy bomberS stationed in China
must make four flights over the
Himalaya mountains into India, to
pick up and transport their own
gasoline and bombs back TO their
Chinese base, before they can have
p~ov~h c''rolioS 70 make ono bomb
ing attack against the japanese, Is
disclosed by the commanding gen.
eral OF the Army Air Forces Henry
H. Arnold, in his report to the
secretary of war.
Tie details of this one supply
operation emphasizes the problem
CT getting at the Japs, "Poten-
italy, China remains our most ef-
fective base for aerial operations
against Japan" says General Ar
mold. Yet before a B-24 Liberator
heavy bombardment group can
carry out one mission from its
bases in China, the bomber crews
must haul in their own supplies
over what is unquestionably the
most difficult flying terrain in the
world, from Assam in northeastern
India TO Running.
OVER THE HUMP"
The distance over this route is
not great-only $50 miles. To cover
that distance, however, the supply
planes must climb over 1900 foot
high mountains, flying much of the
time by instruments. This is the
famous hump about which all
flying men from the Asiatic theater
speak with such respect For rea-
sons of military security, not q
great deal has been written about
Il. The route was pioneered by
Chinese National Always Corpora
ton, the Chinese government-Pan
American Airways Company whose
civilian pilots specialize in bad
weather flying in DC-3 transports
which were never intended for such
service.
Opening of this air route was
necessary after the Japs cut off
China's outlet through Hong Kong
and closed the Burma road by their
Burmese invasion up from Singa-
pore. Today the Assam Running
hep is a regular route for the Army
Transport Service, whose COM
manding general, Harold L. George,
recently revealed that more freight
is now being carried over this route
by air than was formerly carried
over the Burma road by truck.

TRYING TO HOLD
BROKEN LINE

Recent action taken by the Imperial
Valley Irrigation District Board in grant
ing wage increase to its employees re-
gardless of the hold the line mandate
and the Little Steel Formula has receiv-
ed wide commentator.
Similar moves may be expected in other
places, and why not? The roll back
plan" and the hold the line" went into
the INK heap weeks ago and they Wef'
tossed there by their own creators. Why
should an institution like the irrigation
district stand back and wait for the go
sign on wage raises when the govern
ment agencies charged with guarding the
Line and the formula have been yield
ing time and again to high pressure
groups with strength of numbers suffi-
cient to gain their ends? The irrigation
district, like many others, held back all
of last year out of respect to the presi-
dents appeal to follow his initiation
prevention scheme.
If the various large labor groups
started out to bust the line, they have
succeeded as one group after another
obtains its demands by one turn or an
-ther, strike threats and multiplying
strikes
AS a matter of fact the government
never did have workable plan for regu-
lation of wages, and scrapping of the
Little Steel formula and the badly bent
and broken line serve as sufficient proof
Of that situation.
Steel workers. miners and now rail
way employees have won wage raises.
Steel workers, in fact, have had two
general advances since l94l.
The story of the WLB, its orders, its
resembling of orders and the this-way-
i. don IN slf
rying out his rock ribbed directlveS
reads like a Joke of it were not written
around as serious a question as that Of
initiation.
For instance:
Bv a vote of 8 to a WLB decided
against the retroactive clause OF the
steel mems raise. That was just last
December %. The next day C1O Murray
declared that that stand would create
bad situation in the industry. A week
later the president virtually issued orders
on which WLB rescinded that action.
That day Murray called off the strike.
And so on. In different ways the same
thing has happened with other large
groups.
1t is plain the agencies having to do
with granting these concessions did not
have the first idea of coordinatlng wages
and prices. That there are huge dlscrep-
encies seem not to worry the brass hats
at all.
Entirely independent of the virtue of
these wage demands and granting them,
the whole thing plainly shows that the
price and wage matter, roll backs, infla-
ton and economic stability hopeiessly
are lost in the shuttle. Yet these self
same agencies would have the country
believe that national economic safety
rests in their hands.

The Anti-Saloon league is credited
with having put over prohibition in World
War [, giving the opposition an opening
to charge, at least, that four million eX-
servicemen felt much aggrieved
This is considered to have contributed
to the wave of organized lawlessness that
followed, although if any law ever had
less chance to function with effective
ness, it hadn't been cited. In many cases,
men appointed to enforce the statute
were out of sympathy with it, and the
propaganda of the liquor interests which
helped to kill the law were of nature
to out-Goebbels Goebbels, to put TOTO
to shame.
Now the dry forces are again bestir

rent tack. League Superintendent George

peat the error Of the first World war.

that something had been put over on

Today, a B-24 Liberator, which
is the equivalent of a C-87 trans

get enough gas for its bombing mis-
sions the crew must make three
trips over The hump, and another
trip for the four tons of bomhs

This same thin aerial supply line
over the hump must also be MAIN

five-to-one record, while defending

But even though this air transport

allowing Asiatic mainland opera
tions to remain on the level of

HOUSE, SENATE APPROACH
MUSTER-PAY AGREEMENT
WASHINGTON, ,

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. tUP) -
There were strong indications Sat-
urday that Congress will limit the
mustering-out payment for war
veterans to $500.
That was the picture as house
and senate conferees met to work
out the differences between their
different versions.
House conferees stod on their
scale of 500 for veterans with less
than six months service and $500
for more service.
Senate conferees were divided,
with some sentiment in favor of
accepting the house figure instead
Of pressing for the $1O0-50O grad
uated scale passed by the senate.
In view of the early detection in
the senate ranks, it appeared that
the house group would finally win
out.

DEALING WITH SWlNDLERS
jacksonville Register-Pajaroniam

Jacksonville Register-Pa jaronian)
Boom times, with wages high and mon
ey flowing freely, inevitably bring rack
eteers ana grafters following closely the
ence to them if the prosperity is false
one created by ghastly, worldwide war,
or a healthier upswing in mems for
tunes.
Petty swindlers have been abroad in
California since war industry payrolls
began to climb two years ago, and
new influx of bigger operators is due
in rural communities, according to indl-
cations.
Eastern racketeers whose records are
known and whose tactics are smooth as
those of a professional gambler with an
extra ace. are headed west to clip their
bit of golden fleece from the too un-
wary, law officers report.
Probably the least savorp type Of
swindler now operating widely, offers
to sell information allegedly heard over
the shortWave radio concerning loved
ones in enemy prison camps. Bilking
workers out of hard earned pay on war
jobs is base enough, but capitalizing on
the worry and grief of soldiers families
is contemplate.
Such information offered at price,
invariably is not worth the price, for it
can be had free through agencies of the
Red Cross, organized and financed for
that purpose This is one racket of dis
ruptive and demoralizing effect, playing
directly into the enemy's hands.
There is little good in philosophizing
over the quirk in some mems nature which
permits them to take unfair advantage
of their fellows in times of stress and diff
ficulty. Mans inhumanity to man is as
irrevocable on the one hand, perhaps, as
mans gracious benevolence on the other.
When one comes face to face with a
racket these days, there are just two
things to be done-both practical and
patriotic. One: Report the circumstance
Immediately to the police. Two: Nulllfy
propositions by putting all extra and
unneeded cash into government War
