Washington, Nov. 23-UP)-H weren't a coward, afraid of Con- gressional threats against my life, l could tell you where to get all the nylons you want. I know, but I'm scared to tell.
 The House Commerce committee was holding a meeting on the OPA's order reducing the price of nylons. I was doing my job as a reporter and first thing I knew was taking notes on where the n.y. Ions are, who to see, and how to tell em MT Montgomery sent you. Rep. Clarence Brown of Ohio in- terrupted.
 "Harumph," he said, looking my way. "If one word of this appears iIl print, MT. Othman won't appear at all"
 Squeal Bloody Murder
 Three female journalists squealed their bloodthirSty assent and I don't know whether Congressman Brown has murder in his heart, or little job of Kidnapping. He's bigger than I am. You can talk all you want about freedom of the press; I'm intimated.
 The proceedings started slowly with Reps. Brown and Lyle H. Boren of Oklahoma on the dais, the Misses Marble, Williams and Fisch- CT at the press table (next to Oth- man) and no witnesses. So the Congressman examined the ladies, whose legs looked okay to me. Miss Marble said her rayons were baggy. Miss Fischer said shed stand in line for nylons. Miss Will Hams said the beauty about nylons is that they dry in 20 minutes.
 Rep. Brown was in the midst of explaining how ladies have made tests, wearing nylon on one leg and rayon on the other Che didn't actually see this, himself) when witness walked in. The committee bounced on him and he identified himself as Thomas w. Montgomery, the sober-faced SalesmAnager of the Granite Hosiery Mills of Squ- derton, Pa.
 Recommends Leggins
 He said that his company had survived the dirty thirties Ga new phrase to mel and that he guessed it would survive the OPA, but that if the rules got any more complicat- ed he'd recommend that ladies wear leggins.
 The trouble is, he said, that there isn't enough nylon yarn to go around, what with screen door man. ufactllrers, tire makers, and drap- cry weavers demanding it.. too. He said women were batty about n.y. Ions and would buy 'em even if they had rayon tops or cotton feet. He said they probably would get cheat ed, unless they bought standard

SYRUP WILL SAVE
ON CANNING SUGAR

With the need for food, accord
ing to President Truman, "greater
now than ever BEFORE" the North
Carolina Extension Service is urg-
ing all CaTolinas to produce all
food they can and to can or pre-
serve all they produce.
The Extension Service, accord
ing to Miss Mary Mason, Home
Demonstration Agent for New
Hanover County recommends that
all foods which can be preserved
be canned, frozen, dehydrated,
brined or stored, according to the
nature of the food.
Sugar being scarce, the Service
suggestes that maple sugar, sy-ups
or honey may be substituted in can
ming all or most all edibles, recon-
mending that one-half the amount
of sugar be replaced by honey or
one-third be replaced by syrups.
Warning that strong-flavo1ed
syrups or brown sugar may cause
canned fruits to spoil and that
saccharin may give canned food a
bitter flavor, the Service advises
one-half cup of sugar per quart
where no substitute is used.
Other sugar thrift rules are:
Serve cooked fruits hot for full
lest flavor and sweetness.
Save syrup from canned fruits
to sweeten other fruits, pudding
sauces, and beverages.
Add a pinch of salt to increase
the sweetening power of sugar
cooked foods.
Be sure all sugar is dissolved
in cooked foods.
The Extension Service advises
housewives that one cup of maple
sugar, maple syrup or honey is
equal to one cup of sugar; one
and a half cups of sorghum or
cane syrup are equal to one cup
of sugar; and two cups of corn
syrup are equal to one cup OF
sugar.
For cooking cakes and cookies
it is recommended that sugar be
replaced by honey, cup for cup,
but use one half the quantity OF
ether liquids called for. That is,
for a cup of sugar and one cup
of milk, use one cup of honey
and one-hslf cup of milk. Other
ingredients remain the same"

BANKER APPLAUDS|
MONETARY PLANS

CHAPEL HILL, July 10.-P)--
The Breton Woods agreement, if it
succeeds, may usher in a great
era of prosperity all over the
world, remove one Of the chief
causes leading to war, and bring
long period of universal peace and
well being" DR.. William A. Irwin,
Of New York, educational director
of the American Institute of Bank,
told representative bankers of the
Carolinas as one of their back-to
school classroom sessions this aft
ernoon.
"But advocates of the Breton
Woods proposals frankly admit that
the agreement alone cannot do
this he added. ''The agreement
must be supplemental by world
wide agreements on trade and 9TH
er international cooperation before
success can be reasonably assur-
ed"
DR.. Irwin said that many critics
of the proposals say 'the economic
stability Of the countries concerned
should be achieved first to assure
success Of the agreement.
'It is not certain" said, ''thaE
countries operating open" econo-
mics and those operating Closed
economics can actually cooperate
in international matters, but they
made a good start at San Fran
cisco.
IF the severest critics of the
proposals are right, the worst that
can happen is worldwide infla-
ton, worldwide boom, and world
wide collapse, due to loose lend
ing, foolish spending, and lack of
regard for pay day "

The rest of the guys in the "84th

Paschall of Royce City, Texas. The
coffee pot they said was their

The "airforce" is not exactly

of cub pilots and crewmen who

.VAH0N TARPINlAN
LIKES HIS M USIC

: CAMP DAVIS, July 10.-Although
!. Vahon Tarpinian is a pianist by
choice and by profession, the last
few years have seen him doing all
manner of Army work, including
60 combat missions as radio gun
ner with the Fifth Air Force.
During his extended tour OF
duty, S-Sgt. Tarpinian was award
ed the Distinguished Flying Cross
and the Air Medal, testimony to
his outstanding work in the South
west Pacific. AS a radio man with
the Troop Carrier Command,
Tarpinian put in over $50 combat
hours.
Before entering the Army, Tar
pinian had his own orchestra at
the fashionable LaConga night
club in New York. And when he is
discharged-which shouldn't be too
far away, since he is high on the
point list-his old job is waiting
for him.
Tarpinian's musical activities did
not stop with his army career.
When he had finished his work as
q radio operator, he took over an
established army band and landed
on Leyte fifteen days after the in
vasion had begun. With this out
fit. he also hit Mindanao and Lu-
ION, bringing music to the fighting
men as quickly as was possible.
In the Buna campaign, Tar
pinian and his band consisted
largely of airplane mechanics who
were originally musicians. Con-
sequently during the campaign
they not only worked as mechanics,
but as machine gunners, riflemen,
grenadiers, etc. Then, during a
lull in the fighting, or when re-
placements were available, the
men were able to pick up their
instruments again and offer enter
tainment for the CTS. In this
capacity they served as the musi-
cal background for several USO
shows, including Gary Cooper,
Jack Benny and BOD nope.
Currently stationed at Camp
Davis, N. c., a redistribution sta
ton of the AAF Personnel Distri-
button Command, Tarpinian is be-
ing processed and is awaiting re-
assignment. He is the son of Paul
Tarpinian, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Before taking his own band into
La Conga, Tarpinian had served
as pianist with George Hall, Dolly
Dawn, Leo Reisman, Alvino Rey
and other well-known orchestra
leaders.

affairs-in our case the Secretary
of State-and that at the most i'm
portant meetings, the representa-
tives would probably be the Presi-
dent himself and other heads of
governments.
The misunderstanding, such as it
is, is probably due to the fact that
the charter ", %, ID says that
''the security council shall be so
organized as to be able to function
continuously. Each member p. :.
shall for this purpose be repre-
scented at all times at the seat Of
the organization" This does call for
a permanent officer at the head
quarters of the organization for the
"purr ose'', of enabling the securi-
ty council Ito function con-
tinuously." But the whole context
makes it clear that this permanent
official is, in effect an ambassador
dealing with routine operations, re-
porting through: the State Depart
ment to the President, carrying out
| his instruction, but making no in
dependent decisions of his own in
matters of policy.
The charter does not even say
that he shall be the representative
in meeting OF the security coun-
Gil. He is only a representative Eat

while he might be designated 10y
the President or the advice OF the
Secretary Of State) to be the Unit
ed States representa- tive at meet
ing, the intent, as l have already
shown, is that when anything i'm
portant is being considered the
representative should be the Sec
rotary of State or some other
Member of the government, or
even the President himself.
In short the United States rep
sentative has no powers and duties
separate from the powers and du-
ties of the President under the Con-
stitution and the treaty of the char
ter, as ratified by the Senate. He
is diplomatic agent appointed by
the President and confirmed by the
States, and even his authority as
from any olher diplomatic officer.
To give him any independent
powers would be to impair the

Paschall admits he's drinking less
than Is cups a day-his erstwhile
combat quota.
Pointless: Nobody ever says any
thing about the discharge point
system in company r of the 334th
Infantry Regiment. The company
comprises reinforcements who
arrived in the European theater of
operations so recently that their
average is six points apiece.
Speaking OF points, Sgt. John F.
Braz is the most envied man OF
the 330th Infantry Regiment, and
it isn't only because he has SO of
them. It's partly because of how
he acquired them.
According to a War Department
announcement, an divi dual
whose home and place OF induction
was outside the United States, but
who served within its limits will
get credit for that time as over

So John, a native of Pahoa
Hawaii, was collecting two over
seas points per month way back
when the 83rd Division still was in
America.
Incidentally, the 83rd recently
set an all-tlrne record for some
