Cooking with moist heat tends to
make tough meats tender. The
moisture may be applied in the form
of water, vegetable or fruit juice, or
milk. Dry heat is best for tender
cuts. This means that no moisture
is added, the meat is neither COW
cred nor basted. Low to moderate
steady heat is best for cooking all
meats, all cuts, by all methods. 1t
makes for evenness of cooking, ten
derness, preserves flavor and pre-

STANDARDIZATION agency
aohich gou probably never heard

factor IN the Development of
HAITI, one of the feae Negro na-
tions In the aeorld and the only
Freach-speokiag repu Bile an
America. Here IS SHADA's
story.-EDIT0R
Sharing with the Domican Repub-
lie the territory of the Island of His
PAMELA where the first European set
tlement was established, Haiti is a
country unique in many ways.
Besides being one of the few
Negro nations of the world-and the
only one of this hemisphere-it is the
only French-speaking republic of
America as well as the most densely
populated
Covering an area of some 10,T00
square miles, it has population OF
three million or about 275 persons per
square mile.
An essentially agricultural nation
Haiti lives off its soil and its economic
life is based on the production of six
export crops: coffee, sisal, sugar
cotton, cocoa and bananas. A large
percentage of the farmers are small
landowners.
Because the country's political
leadership belived that national eco.
nomic problems could best be attacked
with increased production of export
crops, to be used in building up for
eign exchange for the purchase OF
needed industrial goods, Haiti callec
upon the United States in 1888 fol
suggestions.
A survey of conditions in that
country was made, as the result oi
which a corporation known as The
S H A DA - "Societe HaitianoAmeri
canio de Development Agricole"-
was organized in 1941.
The principal purposes of this pro
ject are the development of the rub
ber and lumber industries in Haiti
the growing and marketing of spic,
crops, bananas and other economi,
plants, and the fostering of handi
craft industries.
At the present moment, its chic
concern is the production of rubbe
and sisal.
The Corporation is financed by th'
Export Import Bank of Washington
under the guarantee of the Haitial
Government, and is the product of al
agreement of the Unite States witt
the Haitian Government 'for cooper
alton between the two nations in de
yeloping that republics economy"
Taking into consideration the fac
that the majority of farmers are own
ers of their land, SHADA-whose owl
land-holdings are relatively small
strives to provide them with technica
assistance and processing facilitie
and to supply them with planting
stock.

WASHINGTON. - CFP) - Support

anti labor position is not entirely new

in ewsweek magazine for Dec. II.
The story goes: Even 10 r%ough-and-

new Jackson county courthouse in Kan

because materials were being hauled by
a n%on-union truck driver. Noting that
5000 men had sought Jobs and that the
union had been favored in selecting
workers, the declaration continued:
alt is provided in the contract that
the county court can step in on a labor
dispute after construction has been
stopped for 10 days. And so / can say

Wainwright's Own Story

The most dramatic story to come out of the
most terrible of wars-the inside, authentic tale
of Bataan Corregidor, the fall of the Philip
pines and nearly four years of Jap savagery,
as told by General Jonathan M. Wainwright
will begin in the 'Star-News tomorrow.
WainWright's own story, over which he has
been working for the last few weeks, was the
most sought-after literary prize of World War
H. 1t was obtained for exclusive Specialization
in this newspaper after spirited bidding by
nearly a hundred publishers and services.
The story was obtained by King Features
Syndicate after a minor, tense drama in it.

City in General Wainwrignt's suite in the Wal
dorf Astoria. There, while the city outside was
going wild over the returning hero of Bataan,
magazines and syndicates fought out the bid

The eyes of the nation were on the streets
of New York, where the General was being

story was genuine plum, ''scoop'' OF I'm.
dreamed-of proportions, and the bidding was
reported to have gone into six figures.
At 2 p. m. on Saturday of that historic
weekend, an aide of the General picked up
phone, 'Hes decided" he said swiftly. It's
King Feature-let's CO."
Since that time, General Wainwright has
been hard at work on the story in White Sui
phur Springs, W. Va, where, from his notes
and memoirs, he has been setting down the
hair-raising, gallant adventures which he and
his troops underwent. from the time the
Japs came stornling down toward 'The Rock

clouds into his prison camp and rescued him
from his living grave.
In addition to describing the real story
of those gripping happenings in the blood

close for the first time many untold stories
of the War-such as the burying of millions
in American gold in Manila harbor, where the
Japanese tried desperately, fruitlessly, to find
it.
General Wainwright's thrilling 'This is My
Story" will run for six weeks, in daily in
stallments. The War Department has given
General Wainwright full permission to write
as he wishes, without censorship.

And all the time an executive whose ability
in administering relief has been proved, not
