TWO SUGGESTIONS.

I've enjoyed this page so much
that I feel I mustn't be a sponge,
so am passing on two hints that
have found helpful:
One Is to hold the package Of
country (bulk) sausage under the
cold water spigot and the meat will
come out free and clean. Previ-
ously 1t stuck to the paper and was
wasted. The other. to remove the
heart from iceberg lettuce, hold it
under running cold water and the
leaves will separate freely.

Move 10 Name Taft
COP Steering Chief
Seen as Unity Plan
By the Associated Press.

Selection of Senator Taft, Repub-
lican, of Ohio as chairman Of the
Senate's minority board of direc-
tors" the Republican Steering Com
mittee, apparently was in the max
ing today. This was viewed as a
move to prevent a split over the
choice of a successor to the late
Charles McNary as floor leader.
Senator McNary's death left Sen
ator White of Maine the acting
leader and although there have been
demands from some of the younger
Republican members for a show
down now on a successor, the older
party chiefs want to put 1t off until
the next Congress organizes in jan
uary.
Senator Taft is one of the can
didates of the younger group for
floor leader, but indications are they
would be satisfied with his selection
as chairman of the Steering Com
mittee.
Former Senator John Townsend
of Delaware, chairman of the party's
Senatorial Campaign Committee,
has been counseling delay in any
reorganization until after the elec-
ton and if his advice is accepted
the present officers will remain.
That would leave Senator VAN
denberg of Michigan as vice chair
man and acting head of the minority
conference, Senator White as act
ing floor leader and Senator Wherry
of Nebraska as whip.
The choice of Senator Taft for
the Steering Committee chairman
ship would put him in position
where he could direct, with the COM
mittee's approval, the minority's
legislative strategy on the floor.
The new Steering Committee, ex-
pected to be selected at confer
ence Wednesday, probably will have
the food price subsidy issue before
1t at its first meeting.

UNIONS HAVE PROVIDED
THE MEN

Organized labor has done more on
its own account to solve manpower
problems in war production than all
the various bureaus and agencies of
the Government combined. And we
have done it without fuss and without
any expense to the Government. Time
after time, the War Department, the
Navy Department and other agencies
have called up our union headquar-
ters and asked for so many thousand
carpenters, or bricklayers or other
skilled workers need at the site of
various projects at definite time.
And each time the unions, through
their own recruitment facilities, have
had the men ready on the job at the
appointed William Green.

ADMIRAL KING.
WARNS WAR IS
FAR FROM WON

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-"What
we accomplish during this year of at
tack will directly affect the length of
the war, and the price in American
lives to be paid for final victory"
Those are the words of Admiral
Ernest j. King, USN, Commander in
Chief United States Fleet and Chief
of Naval Operations.
This statement by Admiral King
emphasizes the need for continued in
creases in the production of offensive
type ships, planes, and supplies for
the Navy in order that the lives of
many American fighting men may be
saved
The Admiral paid tribute to the
part American wOrkmen have
played thus far in the war when
he said that ''the more than A.
900 ships and 27,000 planes which
now comprise our Naval forces
are the results of the combined
working efforts of the home
'front.'" but added that the war is
far from won and that the efforts
must be continued.
He also paid tribute to the fine job
of fighting being done by men who
man these ships and planes which are
divided into fleets and forces that are
required to operate in many oceans,
against determined and resourceful
enemies.
Admiral King said that the war
may seem remote to some people at
home and that sit may be both easy
and pleasant to dwell on the progress
and the victories of the past year, and
to think that the war is almost won.'
He then cited the vast amount of ter
ritory won by the japanese in the Pa
cific in the early months of the wal
and (which we need before our attack
on his homeland can be accentuated. >
Difficulties to Increase
The Admiral said the enemy has
been put on the defensive and that "as
we progress, his lines of communica-
tion will be shortened; the thorough
ness of his preparations for defense
will improve, which will increase the
difficulty of attaining victory.
"This year, as never before, we
need our full fighting strength.A vast
landing craft construction program
has begun. :. Upon it's completion
depends to a great measure the sue
cess of forthcoming operations"

MONEY TALKS THEIR
LANGUAGE

Are there any remarks you'd like
to make to the gang who thought they
were the master race? Or to the thugs
who killed our boys at Pearl Harbor
Well, money talks. 1t talks guns ano
airplane carriers and tanks and
heavy bombers the language Japan
and Germany understand.
Messrs. Hitler and TOTO have felt
the effects of the first three war bond
drives. They hoped the Fourth War
Loan would be colossal flop Well, it
went over the top with bang, but
bond purchases reported to Federal
Reserve Banks during all of February
will be counted toward the final total
to be announced by Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau March 2
Here is your chance to pile up over
subscription to the loan in way that
will smash any further hopes of Hit
Ter and Tojo that Americans will not
continue to back the war with their
dollars. Give them your message with
more war bonds Put your remarks
and your dollars-on the line.

tanning to dues, ETC., and the manner
in which the council collects from the
affiliated organizations. The communi-
cation was ordered complied with.
Printers reported that Typographi-
cal Union passed resolutions favoring
the per capita asked for by trades
council.
A letter was read from Matthew
Woll, A. F. of L., regarding postwar
planning. The same was ordered
turned over to councils postwar

BUSINESS ABILITY AGAIN

You hear lot about business abil-
ity and government dumbness. That
only business men know what it is all
about and that only they should be
trusted with management of practi-
cally everything
Well, couple of years ago we had
reason to believe Axis planes might
drop few bombs in our midst, which
of course, would most likely destroy
some property. So the government
asked our insurance companies to pro-
vide insurance for property owners.
They agreed but at figure that was
prohibitive.
Their proposal was turned down
and the government set up the War
Damage Corporation which took on
the business at Is cents a hundred in
stead Of $150 demanded by insurance
companies.
When this federal agency winds up
its affairs it will turn over to the
Treasury Department about $500 ,00O,-
900 profits earned at the 15-cent rate,
which amt hay, brother; it amt hay.
But, just imagine the profits of the
private companies at $3.50 a hundred
if they had had the business sagac-
ity to open the door to opportunity.

STEEL PENNIES "OUT'

Washington, d. C.-The controver-
sial steel penny, which looks remark
ably like dime when new and which
refuses to operate many coin ma
chimes, is on it's way out.
The mint has ceased coming the lit
tie nuisances, but the 700,000,000
which have been made will continue
to circulate for some time. Since the
steel pennies rust in damp climates
and in general are less sturdy than
the copper pennies, there is some hope
that they will disappear from circu-
lation eventually. Meanwhile, they
continue to look less and less like a
dime as wear dulls their CLEAN.
