Pecans, almond, walnuts and

in main dish, such nut loaf. They
also provide B vitamins especially
thiamine-and a little iron and cal
cium. But as far as nutrition is con-
cerned nuts are most effectively
used to supply some of the needed
fat in meals.
In pastry, pecans ground fine may
substitute for half the fat. Mix and
bake like plain pastry.
Chopped nuts added to biscuits,
mullins, waffles, or. cookies, give
flavor and crisp note. Usually one
fourth to one-half cup of chopped
nuts to each cup of flour is good
allowance.
Nuts added to the batter make a
plain or cottage pudding richer. In
a cake batter, one-fourth cup of
nuts to each cup of flour is likely
to be plenty.
Nuts in a baked mixture tend to
absorb moisture and make the fin
ished products dry. So when using
a large proportion of nuts, place the
nuts first in boiling water few
minutes. Then drain, and add the
mixture in the usual way.

Truman S Order Gives
Permanent Job Status
To Disabled Veterans

President Truman yesterday is
sued an executive order giving dis
abled veterans chance to hold their
Government jobs permanently -
thereby exempting them from the
general rule that Federal jobs for
the duration are war-service ap-
pointments.
A Civil Service Commission spokes-
man explained that veterans entitled
to 10-point preference for a service
connected disability were given the
special consideration because it
would be undesirable to get them
placed on Government jobs only to
have them displaced when the Jobs
are thrown open to competition for
permanent appointments.
1t was explained that no other
permanent appointments were being
made for the duration because so
many Servicemen who wanted Gov
ernment jobs were overseas and un-
able to compete for permanent ap-
pointments. Disabled veterans with
10-point preference, however, auto
matically go to the top of the list of
leligibles, and giving them perma-
nent appointments would not affect
the opportunities of other veterans,
the commission spokesman ex-
planned.
MIR. Truman's order authorizes
Civil Service to give permanent
status to disabled veterans serving
under war-service appointments if
they have satisfactorily completed
trial period of a year.
Disabled veterans who have not
completed trial period of a year
may be given probational status if
the work they have been doing is
satisfactory.
The executive order proposed by
veterans organizations and recon-
mended by Civil Service, puts the
disabled men one step ahead of 9TH
er veterans coming into the Fed
eral service now and makes it posi-
BILE for the commission to place the
handicapped men permanently and
quickly they can start life again."
the commission official said.

Osa does her cooking by ear,
using a big splash of imagination
as a chief ingredient. During her
around -the-world travels with her
explorer husband, the late Martin
Johnson, she learned to improvise
dishes with native materials at
hand. Housekeeping in the Solo
mons, she roasted the wild chicken
and the plunp-breasted green
pigeons which have a favor hike
grouse. She learned to prepare the
wild squash, the taro and yam.

YAM pudding is dessert that
comes straight from the jungle.
Wash four medium-sized yams and
cook in boiling salted water. COW
cred, until tender. Drain, peel and
mash. Pile into hot pan and stir
over low heat until dry. Whip in
two tablespoons of honey, two
tablespoons of melted margarine
and continue beating until fluffy.
Add u teaspoon salt, one egg
slightly beaten, and II cup coarsely
cut nut meats. Cool. Cut heavy
wrapping paper into pieces eight
inches wide and 10 inches long.
Oil well with margarine. When
potato mixture is cold, place II
cup in the center of each piece of
paper. If potato is too moist to
handle easily, add more chopped
nuts, then lightly mold the mix
ture into rolls an inch wide and
four inches long. Dust potato
finger with grated coconut and
roll in paper. Tie with string and
lay the puddings fat in baking
dish. Bake 80 minutes in a hot
oven. Unwrap and serve hot. The
pudding has a creamy, smooth
texture, melting sweet, and needs
no extra saucing. But for super
'lative gesture, add a pompadour
of honey meringue.
Honey and Coconut
In THE Solomons, Osa johnson
used the wild honey for sweetening
"a watery stuff that smelled
like the mingled scent of the
Jungle flowers and tasted like an
elixir brewed for the gods. Freshly
grated coconut she used for the
trimming. Coconut leaves rubbed
with coconut oil served to wrap
up the puddings which were laid
ON hot stones to reheat.

Osa Johnson's recipes
are gathered from the
earth's four corners

0sA JOHNSON. Americas First
vi Lady of Exploration. is find
ing a new kind of adventure cook
ing in a skyscraper kitchen. This
woman who has made the wide
world home, who has cooked in
the most impossible of places - in
tent, on the African veldt, aboard
a raft in Borneo, in the swamps
and undergrowth of the unex-
plored Solomon Islands - feels
like Alice in Wonderland in her all
modern workroom in the States.
After 20 years of rustling up the
days dinner with fishing rod and
rifle, she looks on push-button
cooking as nothing short Of black
magic. Meal-getting is only child's
play. and that's not idle talking.
For Osa does her own marketing;
she does her own cooking.
Bride Of the Soloznons
WHEN women complain about
the toughness of beef. Osa johnson
just smiles, remembering those
honeymoon days she describes so
amusingly in Bride of the Solo
MONS" her book of this winter.
Then canned bully-beef was the
daily problem. But short bother
alton, for within few weeks the
young Osa had devised innumera-
bic ways to make the beef tasty in
stews, goulashes, hashes.
Fish and more fish was on the
Johnsons' camp menu. Osa fished
by the hour and thought nothing
of a 200 pound catch in day to
satisfy the hunger of the $50
natives who accompanied their
expeditions.
Osa's favorite way of baking
fish is the way of the natives in the
South Pacific islands. There the
cleaned fish is rubbed with the oil
of the coconut and fern fronds
laid over, then wrapped in papaya
or banana leaves, and so to bake
in hot Goals. In Osa's modern
kitchen margarine oils the fish,
salt and pepper for seasoning.

Schweuenbach Asks .EqualP PayForWo

Secretary of Labor Lewis Schwel- lenbach this week threw his support behind proposed legislation to re- quire that equal pay for equal work" be paid to both men and women. The A. F. of L. has already indorsed the bill, which was introduced in the Senate by Senators Wayne Morse (Rep. Ore.) and Claude Pepper (Dem., Fla.).
 Before a subcommittee of the Sen ate Committee on Education and La bor, Schwellenbach pointed out that women demonstrated during the war that they can perform many occupa- tions as efficiently as men.
 Where industries have maintained differentials between men and women doing the same kind of work, the ef- feet has been to "depress wage levels" as whole, he declared.
 Representative of the National Women's Trade Union League and other women's organizations also testified for the bill.
 Incidentally, this measure should not be confused with so-ca1led "equal rights" amendment 10 the Constitu- tion, which is exposed in an editorial on Page 4.

(Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) son, head of General Motors, who only this week proposed lengthen- ing the work week above 40 hours at CM, Johnson told the commit tee he didn't think a 4O-hOur week would provide enough jobs.
 He suggested the committee pre- pare legislation providing for 35- hour and 30-hour work week.
 Johnson was not impressed with the argument of a number of business groups that higher wages in this country would cost us our foreign markets. The products we sell aboard, he said, are almost exclusively man ufactured by our high-wage industries.
 "All the textile business we do abroad we could throw in the ash can," the witness said, apparently ill answer to the argument on this point urged by several witnesses for the textile industry.
 ohnson's remarks seemed all the more surprising when it was brought out, on cross-examination, that a part of his properties consist of cotton textile mills in the South. He already pays minimum wage at those mills of 65 cents, which is at least 10 cents higher than his competitors pay
 Johnson differed with those who regard 'swOrking less than 48 hours week as somewhat sacrilegiOus.' g He said that early in history the church allowed about 100 holidays a year. s'It was only when the in- dustrial era began in England that the sweated days of IA, l6, and Ia hours came into vogue, when children were forced to work long hours for starvation wages.
 "We have come a long way since then, but why stop now?
 Johnson said the proposed bill crea- ted "a new code of business ethics with the aid and guidance of our federal government.
 "We hGve come to time sOhen ,Oe can honestly say, at Ieast in our country, taat man does not haUe the right to employ his feI- IOso man unless he can pay q sub- sistence sOage.'
