Reporter Finds Buffalo Meat Pleasing Substitute for Beef

What about that inevitable hitch
to the story? Buffalo steaks sell
for 81 q pound and the game is
scarce. Magruder had two buffalos.
They probably will be gone by the
end of this week after a two-week

at Salvage Collection
Cut in Half by Public
Apathy, Pork Shortage

Increasing public apathy and the
continued pork products shortage
have resulted in nearly a so per
cent drop in the vitality essential fat
salvage collections, District Salvage
Committee officials revealed yester-
day.
From high of $4,000 pounds
collected in February, the total
dropped to 10000 pounds in October
and there is little prospect for a
rise in collections, officials said.
The drop is reflected throughout
the Nation, creating a serious prob
lem, the American Fat Salvage
Committee, Inc, has reported. In the
elation over victories throughout the
world, the public has assumed a
complacent attitude, forgetting that
the largest supply of commercial oils
and fats used in explosives come
from the Netherlands Indies and
the Far East-still in Jap hands
officials asserted.
Use Of Fats Increases.
The use of oils and fats in war
is now well known. They go in
the making of glycerin, nitroglye-
erin, commercial oils and bases
for sulfa drugs and blood plasma.
The stepped-up tempo Of the war
effort increases the need for these
war essentials more than ever.
Asked foI solution, officials
frankly said they are stumped They
said 1t all depends on the house
wife. We've used the terms VITAL
essential and imperative so often
in our appeals in the program, that
I think our words have no effect
today" salvage worker admitted
A bright spot is the likelihood
that pork products, drastically cur
tailed here during the past three
months, will return to meat counters
shortly. Since pork products pro-
duce the most fats, officials are
hopeful that fat collections then
will go up.
Grocers Praised.
Horace Walker, executive secre-
tary of the District Salvage Commit
tee and of the District branch of
the War Production Board, again
has appealed to housewives to save
their fats in salvage cans. Any
ordinary can will do, he said. Each
pound of fat delivered to the neigh
borhood grocery or meat market
will bring the housewife bonus"
of two red points.
"The program can be success If
we all do our part" Mr., Walker
said. He praised the grocers and
meat dealers for their 100 per cent
support. Not one dealer has re-
fused to cooperate with U.S." he
said.
Figures of fat collections since
August, 1912, reveal a sharp rise in
the early stages of the drive, and
the sharp falling off during the
past six months. Until October,
1943, the highest amount of fats
collected was $4,000 pounds. During
that time the housewife received
4 cents pound. When the 'in-
ducement''' for turning in fats was
changed to two red points for each
pound, the total collected jumped
to 10000 last February. After that
the decline set in, the collection
finally falling to 10000 pounds in
October, 5000 under the Districts
quota.

The 5-inch lizards have tongues
almost as long as their bodies. They

DR.. William NJ Mann, Zoo director,

Tomorrow
Passage Would Send
Six to White House;
Studium on List

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee tomorrow will
urge the House to pass and send to
the White House for signature six
District measures already cleared
by the Senate, and to approve two
other bills, which originated on the
House side.
1t will be District Day" in the
House, giving more hope for passage
since the bills need not be laid
aside, If unanimous consent Is lack
ing, as usually is done with District
measures called up on other than
a regularly scheduled District day"
under agreements to consider only
noncontroversial subjects.
Stadium Bill on List.
The Senate-approved bill spon-
sored by Chairman Bilbo of the
Senate District Committee to create
a commission Of nine members to
draft proposals for a self elf-liquidating
Washington National Memorial Sta
dium as a postwar project, is high
on the list. House sponsors of other
stadium bills, authorizing definite
projects, already have given up hope
for action on them In the closing
days of this Congress.
Other bills to be called up include
those to revise the financial setup of
the District Boxing Commission, to
expand the administrative powers of
the District Commissioners and to
place Government restaurants, ex-
cept those of the House and Senate,
under sanitary regulation by the
District health officer. These were
amended in the Senate.
Controversy is expected to develop
over the bill to authorize use of city
funds to support the Metropolitan
Police Department Band. The bill
is under attack by spokesmen for
the American Federation of Musi-
clans.
Pipe Line Bill Included.
Three other bills scheduled for
House action are those to apply the
uniform stock transfer act to the
District. to permit the Standard Oil
Co. of New Jersey to lay pipe line
under South Capitol street, and to
permit the Womens Christian As
sociation to dissolve and transfer
its property to the Phyllis Wheatley
YWCA.
To clear up fears that the 20
women now living in the associ-
tion's home at 17l9 Thirteenth street
NV. would be left homeless, Miss
Elsa Peterson, YWCA president,
yesterday advised Chairman Ran
dolph there were 800 rooms for white
women available in Washington. A
report to this effect came from Ellen

Housing Center of the National
Housing Agency.

that he would hold for the new
Congress the bill fathered by Sen
ator Bridges, Republican of New
Hampshire, to establish voluntary
system of apprenticeship in the Dis
trict. 1t was adopted Friday by the
Senate but Mr.. Randolph said too

Pirates
We'll Done
BY CHARLES GENTRY

IF THERE'S any one comic
operetta which gives The Mix
ado" and ''Pinafore" a musical run
for its Gilbert and Sullivan money,
it's Pirates of Penzance," which
was the second offering of the
Savoyard series at the Cass last
night.
The Burnside troupe does a fine
job of Pirates" and with the sole
exception of Ralph Riggs offers
the same presentation of this
skull and funnybones exhibit
which Detroit Gilbert and Sullivan
fans saw last year.
Mr.. Riggs is not quite as funny
as FlorenZ Ames as the very
model of a modern major general
because he hasn't the foolish flair,
nor the voice for the part. If we
hadn't known by heart most of
the rapid-fire lyrics of his chief
numbers, we woufdn' have under
stood just what he was doing.
But Robert EckleS was on hand
10 strut through his part as the
Pirate King; James Gerard sang
a fine Frederic and Kathleen
Roche made a lovely Mabel in this
delicious satire.
Catherine Judah was the pirate
maid and lovely Kathryn Reece,
Mary Lundon and Marie Valdez
were the other daughters of the
General.
Robert Pitkin drew a great deal
of applause for his Policeman
lot and the whole affair went
hilariOuSly along.
