Destroy Spoiled Food

Destroy Spoiled Food
If the pressure Gamer is in per-
feet order and if every canning step
is well done, there is no danger Of
botulism. But unless you r abso-
lutely sure about the Gamer and the
way you've canned, boil home-can-
ned vegetables before tasting. Bring
to a rolling boil, cover, and boil for
at least 10 minutes, adding water if
necessary. Spinach and corr need 20
minutes. II the food then looks or
smells queer, destroy it.

Check for Spoilugs SIGNS

Look closely at every jar of cam
ned food before opening. A bullying
lid or rubber ring, a leak, gas bub-
bles-these may mean the food has
spoiled. When you open a jar, look
for other signs-spurting liquid, an
"off" odor or color, or mold.
Corn, peas, snapbeans, and toma-
ioes may flat sour" when not prop
erly canned or properly cooled after
wards. Other kinds of spoilage may
also happen to food stored in too
warm a place. AGA:
its possible for foods to contain
that poison that causes botulism
without showing it. Boiling will
usually show up botulinus poison by
a bad odor. --".~n~

When he visited his old friend,

ready for him to ride.
It wasn't the Emperor's horse and
it wasn't white. 1t leaned somewhat
to the "old gray mare" But Ad-
miral Halsey gritted his teeth,
mounted and slowly rode around a
field.
He was glad to ''hit the deck"
Don't leave me alone with this
animal" he grinned. IT was never
so scared in my life"
Because of his unexpected ride,
the admiral did not bring along the
silver trimmed saddle sent him by
the Reno New Chamber of Com
merce.

would like to ride Hirohito's white,
California-bred horse down the

and the Shipshaw-powered plant in
Canada, Mr.. Clark said.
In recommending a subdivision OF
ALCOA into competing companies,
the Attorney General emphasized
that mo punitive atomization OF
ALCOA is contemplated"
The resulting companies" he
said, would benefit from functional
integration and would be substan-
tial in size.
MIR. Clark said the possibilities are
vast for future use of aluminium
in the automobile and railway in
dustries provided prices are low
and the cloud of monopoly Is re-
moved"
Reporting that most of the Gov
ernment aluminium plants already
have closed, the Attorney General
added that until competition is firm
" established, industrys estimates
Of future needs are so low as to
foredoom most of the Government
plants to idleness."
Comment From ALCOA.
At Pittsburgh, the Aluminium Co
of America commented:
The report of the Attorney Gen
eral is an argument for Government
subsidies to operators of Govern
ment-owned aluminium plants. Sub
sides, whether they take the form
of outright grants OF the taxpayers
money, discriminatory power rates
or any other form of discriminatory
Federal aid, are inexcusable.
The company statement declared
the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
has Cancelled the leases on all Gov.
ernment-owned aluminium smelling
plants formerly operated by ALCOA
and "RFC can lease or sell them te
anyone 1t chooses"
These plants" said the ALCOA
statement, account for 81 per cent
of the capacity of the industry as
contrasted with So per cent fol
ALCOA and per cent for Reynold.
Metals Co.
The company statement sale
further:
THE dissolution of ALCOA, as
proposed by the Attorney General
would destroy property values run
ming into millions of dollars owned
by thousands of small investors
and in an unusually large proper
tion by religious, educational ane
charitable institutions, as well al
insurance companies. Moreover, il
would be directly contrary to the
findings of the courts which triec
this issue"

ALCOA had no monopoly in raw
materials or in any fabricated

Breach Of Concordal
with Poles Denied
by Vatican Source
By tn, Associa ated frtss.

bs tne hes0ClAttd tTtfss = .z-.
VATICAN CITY. Sept. IA
Vatican source today denied that
the Holy See violated It's 1925 con-
cordant with Poland when It ap-
pointed two German administrators
in Polish territory.
The concordant does not limit
the power to nominate administra-
tors, whose posts are temporary"
the source said.
The Polish provisional govern
ment in Warsaw has announced it
considers the concordant broken be-
cause of appointment of the Ger
mans. It promised full freedom II,
activities of the Roman Catholic
Church in Poland" however.
The Vatican source said the Holy
See has not recognized the Polish
provisional government because
Warsaw never requested recogni
ton and the Holy See follows the
traditional policy of not according
recognition unless asked"
Referring to the appointment of
a German apostolic administration
in the Chelm diocese, during the
German occupation, the informant
said the measure was taken because
Chelm was deprived of its polish
bishop and almost all its Polish
clergy"
He said Chelm therefore was en-
trusted to the German bishop of
Danzig. A German administrator
for Poznan was appointed because
German occupation authorities pro-
hibited Polish priests from having
contact with the Germans, the
source said.

House Probers Fear
Roosevelt Debt Probe
will Delay Tax Bill ..
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee today sought speedy DISPOSE
ton of the Elliott Roosevelt flnan-
cial inquiry lest the long drawn in
vestigation delay tax-cutting legis-
lation.
But what to do about the retired
brigadier generals case apparently
had committee members In a guam
dairy.
They have finished reading young
Roosevelts 200-page statement in
which the late Presidents second
son said he borrowed at various
times more than 5000 900 to finance
a Texas radio chain.
Hartford Loaned 100000.
OF that amount, 100000 was
loaned in 1889 by John Hartford,
president of the Great Atlantic Il
Pacific Tea Co. The congressional
inquiry began after reports were
published that Mr.. Hartford got
back only $4,000 Of the loan and
listed the remaining $4,000 as
a bad debt deduction in his 1912
income tax return.
Questions before the committee
are whether the deduction should
be allowed and how the loan should
be treated in Elliott's tax returns.
Some members want to refer the
whole matter to the United States
Tax Court for a decision.
Elliott's statement said he never
got any help from his father In
arranging the loans. He said his
father told Mr.. Hartford in a tele-
phone conversation that the Roose-
welt children were independent in
their business affairs and that a
loan to Elliott would not embarrass
the President.
Talked With Jones.
Later. on advice from his father
young Roosevelt said he talked to
Jesse Jones, then Secretary of Com
merce, about his large debts. This
was about the time that Elliott was
being assigned to hazardous foreign
service with the air forces.
The statement added that Elliott
did not know what settlements Mr.
Jones made until he read about
them in the newspapers.
Ways and Means members are
eager to get rid of the inquiry and
proceed with the writing of the first
peacetilne tax bill Their committee
must originate all tax legislation
and Chairman Daughton has said
the tax legislation must be on the
statute books by November If the
cuts are to affect 1916 incomes,

Macarthur Protests
Downing Of Big and
Gets Soviet Apology
BY the Associated Press.


TOKYO, Sept. 1.-THE Russians
shot down an American Super For
tress over Northern Korea last
month and then apologized after
Gen. Macarthur lodged a strong
protest, supreme headquarters an
nounced yesterday.
The text of the protest over the
incident, which occurred on August
20, was not disclosed. Headquarters
said its language was strong.
Headquarters gave this account:
The Super Fort was flying over
Russian controlled Korea when
Russian fighter planes intercepted 1t
and by signals attempted to force it
to land at a nearby airfield.
The big bomber headed toward
the sea and the fighters again tried
to force it to land. Then they made
third pass, shooting out an engine
and the pilot ordered the crew to
bail out.
The report here said all members
of the crew managed to escape.
Gen. MacArthur's protest pointed
out that the Super Fort obviously
was an American plane and had
been shot down after the Japanese
had been ordered to- cease fire and
keep all their planes grounded.
The protest was filed a few days
after the incident. The Russians
replied that the shooting was to be
regretted, that 1t was a mistake, but
that Russian flyers knew some jap
anese planes still were in the air.
The Russians said their pilots
thought the japanese might have
repaired a Super Fort forced down
in Japan and were taking no
chances.
It wasn't learned whether Gen.
Macarthur considered the case
closed.
This was the only known case
where the Russians had any con-
tact with the Americans long range
bomber.
