ACL PRESIDENT
BACKS RATE BILL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-B -
Gustav Metzman, New York Cen
trail President, said today railroad
rate making would 'bog down in
confusion and public disservice"
unless the roads are permitted to
discuss initiation of new rates
among themselves and with ship
pers.
Metzman and c. Med. Davis of
Wilmington, N. c., Atlantic Coast
Line president, appeared before a
House interstate commerce sub
committee supporting legislation to
immunize carriers from antitrust
suits in rate and service confer
ences.
The Justice Department now has
antitrust suits pending in the mid
west involving joint conferences on
rates and services by carriers.
The bill by Rep. Bulwinkle Cd
NC) would permit the railroads,
highway, water and pipeline car
riers to confer on rates and SER
vices with immunity from anti
trust action, under an arrange
ment whereby rates and services
would become effective only upon
a finding by the Interstate Com
merce Commission that they were
in the public interest.
Metzman said that, while each
railroad is autonomous, their op-
erations are interrelated to those
of other railroads.
Davis said the conference method
of initiating rates has been ques-
toned in suits brought by the JUS
tice Department and the State of
Georgia and declared: GAS a re-
suit we now have uncertainty and
confusion. A STRAIGHTFORWARD, SEN
sible remedy is badly needed, and
we think such a remedy would be
afforded by the Bulwinkle bill"

General MacArthur's orders
to withdraw my men to Bataan
came at time when my North
Luzon force of approximately
$4,000 men-25, 900 of them still
untrained-were scattered over
considerable area. The aver
age distance we had. to with
draw was nearly $50 miles. But
first those units had to be
rounded up to present the kind
of semi-solid front we would
need for the delaying actions
we would be called upon to
fight.
One such delaying action assign
ed to us was to hold fast on the
line of the Rio Grande de Pam
panga to enable Gen. Jones' South
Luzon force to withdraw north
ward before the Jap attack in the
SOUTH swing around Manila Bay
and duck into Bataan.
The Japs coming down from the
North after us put considerable
pressure on us and made more
difficult the task of shepherding
thousands of bewildered and in
experienced men into position for
The withdrawal. They hit retreat

A few days after our recent dis
sertation on Russian foods In gem
eral and blini in particular, we be-
gan to get letters from readers who
wanted more Russian recipes
"soon, please" The one asked for
most was the famous beef la
Stroganof1." which has long head
ed the list of epicurean Russian
dishes along with borsch, blini with
caviar and zrazy.
In the dear dead days, "beef Stro-
ganoff" was made with the finest
tenderloin-so perhaps with the
new point values, this is 4 good
time to try It.!
One great advantage in the use
OF this dish Is that 1t makes q little
meat 60 very long way. About
IN pounds Of beef will serve six
amply and the dish is unusual and
exotic enough to serve at q dinner
or buffet supper for the fussiest
guests.
Men, particularly, like the tang
given by the sour cream and the
tenderness Of the meat produced
by the method Of preparation.
First, 1h pounds of the best beef
you can get must be cut into shoe
string strips. These are seasoned
well with salt and pepper and per.

spoons OF margarine are Drowned

ShadROe
Salad

What with shad roe getting more
and more plentiful, We can make use
of it in ways other than the gour-
NETS dream-broiled with bacon.
There's a good salad invented by an
amateur male chef of no small dis
tinction that is a delight to every
one who samples it.
Four tomatoes are peeled. The
centers are scooped out neatly, the
hollows are sprinkled with salt and
the tomatoes set upside down to
drain and put into the ice box to
chill.
The shad roe-one large pair or
enough to make cupful-are
cooked in boiling, acidulated water
with a bit of salt for five minutes
and then plunged into cold water.
The membrane is removed and the
roe fried in butter or bacon fat until
brown
The roe, lightly mashed with a
silver Fork. is allowed to soak in
French dressing until just before 1t
is to be served. Then it is mixed
with the tomato pulp, tablespoons
minced scallions with some of the
green part and a tablespoon of
minced watercress. Seasoning Is
done with salt and pepper and If the
mixture seems too dry, it is mois-
tened with bit of tart boiled dress
ing, to which touch of horSeradiSh
has been added. The tomatoes are
stuffed with the roe mixture and
served on lettuce leaves, with the
boiled dressing plus horseradish on
the side.
You will need big tomatoes for
this, if only one a person is to be
served. If only small ones are avail
able, better plan on two each!

are sliced fine and also Drowned in
