No run-of -the-mill cottontailS or jackrabbits are allowed in Mrs. Van Valkenburgh's aristocratic rabbit community. The ancestry of each resident dates back to 10 years ago when the little 70-year- old woman started her unique en- terprise with two aEster gift bum nieS.
 Weigh 12 to IA Pounds
 Everything I touched multi plied," smiled the quaint little old lady, and now look"
 Mrs. Van Valkenburgh had to breed and cross-breed over and over to produce her long-haired, high-priced animals. Each weighs from 12 to IA pounds-a remark able size for a fur" rabbit and especially unusual in a hot climate like Houston's.
 Although as large and "cuddly" as blue-ribbon Persian cats, these rabbits are not pets to the scien- tific minded woman.
 'No special favorites," she em- phasized. T believe that I was pre- destined to do this experimenting. I'm proud of them all, but not sentimental about any one"
 Wool importers, fur and leather manufacturers and other authori- ties have told Mrs. Van Valken- burgh that she is "the only one in America who has worked with this kind of breeding-genetic breed- ing"
 That, along with their praises, has encouraged the rabbit raiser to continue experimenting. And be- cause of the manpower shortage, the energetic woman does the hard work she formerly hired two men to do. Just feeding the bunnies

BY DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff CorresnonAouf

Washington, April 5-As more vet. erans become interested in the bust. ness loan guarantee section of the CT Bill of Rights the questions be- come detailed. Here are some samples:
 o. I have just been discharged from the Army and want to oper a bicycle repair shop. Under wha. conditions wi 1.-the Government loan conditions will ,he Government loan
 A. The Government itself does not lend the money. You have to borrow 1t from private lending agency and the Government guarantees 50 per cent of it. The total loan can. not exceed $2000. Before it will be guaranteed, however, you must show
 CD that the money will be used t., buy real or personal property to b. used in a bonafide gainful business. (2) that such property is reasonably necessary for the business; (3) that the veteran is reasonably capable of making the venture a success; and (D that the price of the property is not exorbitant as determined by proper appraisal.

Sowdust Fine Cattle Food
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN


 Washington, April 9H(UP)-You put the sawdust in at one end, see, and out of the other comes mo- lasses. Now you're set to make al- cohol, aspirin tablets, fodder, per- fume, vanilla and other things that Rep. Harris Ellsworth of Oregon gladly will mention.
 What brought this up was the cattle shortage, caused by lack of feed. I was talking to Rep. Ells- worth and he said this was a shame because sawdust, which piles up In mountains at every saw mill, can be turned into cattle food as rich or richer than soybean cakes.
 It turns out further that Rep. Ellsworth, a Roseburg, Ore, news paper publisher when he isn't law making, is one of the sparkplugs behind the worlds greatest saw dust rendering plant. now being built at Spring field. Ore.
 He chose that particular spot be- cause 825 tons of sawdust pile up there every day, more than any place else in the country. Before the end of the summer the experts will be percolating sawdust in a solution of acid. thereby releasing sugar in the form of molasses.
 This they will turn into alcohol at the rate of 4,10OO0O gallons a year. That's a ot of alcohol. but its only the beginning.
 The alcohol comes out of one spigot; from another comes lignin, a kind of chemists Chinese puzzle, but similar to coal and petroleum. From it is made the vanilla, the aspirin, and all the other products upon which the chemists now are working.
 If we can sell the ignin for two and a half cents pound, the al- cohol won't cost us anything" Ellsworth said. What we need is further experimentation and that takes more money for the federal forest products laboratories at Ma dison, Wis, which have been do- ing marvellous job on limited ap- propriations.
 He said-and .ts not easy to dis agree-that here's one place the government can sink some cash and come out with a profit. When you chop down a tree anl make lumber, 1t develops, you waste 70 per cent of the wood in the form of sawdust, chips and useless The sawdust conversion plant uses the waste.
 Which makes the process a nt- tie like finding a gold mine in the sky" Ellsworth added Were getting something most of as never knew existed"
 Germany has some 20 of these sawdust factories. Japan has two. The original developer of the Ger man sawdust plant was Jewish. So were his chief engineers. They escaped a concentration camp, went to England and final y came to America to work for the National Lumber Manufacturers  But when they saw what was ,eing done by Dr. J. Alfred Hall, hen chief biochemist of the forest | iervice. they almost stood around with their mouths open," ELS worth said. They had never seen anything like this plant in Ore- 'on. 1T is four times bigger than he biggest German factory. Where he Germans took 24 hours to turn me pile of sawdust into alcohol,

HIond Freed From Nozis

Paris, April 9-(UP)-August Car dinal Hlond, primate of Poland and arch foe of Nazism, planned today to really begin to work" now that he was safely back in Al''ed hands.
 The white-haired, distinguished looking primate was liberated at Wiedenbrueck, Germany, Easter I Sunday by American Ninth Army troops and arrived here yesterday in an army transport.
 He appeared in excellent spirits and fine health, despite his 63 years, and stepped jauntily from the trans port when he arrived at the air. port. He was wearing the scarlet scull cap and a black robe over his scarlet shirt.
 The first person he saw was his old friend, Col. Anthony Drexel- Riddle, former U. s. Ambassador to Poland. Grasping Biddle's hand vig- orously, the Cardinal exclaimed:
 '"The Americans libertated me on Easter day. I am very thankful to you"
 Riddle now is deputy chief of the European Allied contact section of supreme headquarters.
 When asked how he was treated during his confinement, Cardinal Hlond replied, with wave of his hand:

GAS SHORTAGE
REACHES AREA

The eastern North Carolina
gasoline shortage reached Will
mmgton yesterday with several
dealers reporting that their
service station tanks have been
empty since Monday. Others
revealed they were aware of
the shortage but were "lucky
enough to still have some on
hand"
Reports were received this
morning that motorists from
several eastern communities
had been here seeking gasO-
line.
Officials of she Gulf bulk
plant disclosed that they had
been without gasoline for two
days but were expecting some
today.
A representative Of the Shell
Oil company reported that, al
though the shortage did exist,
gasoline still was available at
all of the company's stations.
A new period will open to-
day and another quota of gasO-
line will be released, he ex-
planned, which should allevi-
ate any shortage caused by I'M
usually heavy demands during
the last quota period.
One bulk plant operator esti-
mated that under this alloca-
ton system he was getting
only 81 per cent of his normal
requirements.
An official of the Macmillan
and Cameron Co. said that
there seemed to be a very
definite shortage in the coastal
region of the State and that
enough barges could not get
into Wilmington to supply the
seabOard.

CZECHS ACCEPT

LONDON, Jan. 81 -tR- The
Czechoslovak governmental exile
formally recognized the Polish gov
eminent of Warsaw today. but did
not break off diplomatic relations
with the exiled Polish government
in London.
eve simply recognize the legal
and political fact of a provisional
government sitting in the ruins of
Warsaw" Czechoslovak spokes-
man said I'VE have nothing
against the London Polish govern
ment."
Recognition of the Warsaw Poles
was believed to have been prompt
ed by the impending departure of
President Eduard Benes of tae
Czechoslovak government and
members of his cabinet for the
homeland to take over the parts
of Czechoslovakia already liberat-
ed.
A spokesman for the London Po-
lish government said the Poles had
not been informed officially of the
Czechoslovak move but expressed
surprise at "the apparent Czech
view that they can recognize two
governments at the same time"
Benes' Czechoslovak spokesman
said there had been no pressure
from any side to persuade his gov
eminent to recognize the War
saw Poles. He said hundreds of
thousands of Czechs had been de-
ported to Poland by the Germans
for work in Polish industrial areas.
