The vote was on motion of Rep
resentative Delaney, Democrat, of
New York that the committee send
the measure to the floor for a de-
cision in conformance with a re-
quest last week by President Tru-
man to Chairman SABBATH.

While Mr. SABBATH indicated
later effort will be made to keep the
measure alive. Representative Cox,
Democrat, of Georgia, an oppo-

disclose the vote, but other mem

motion for action:
Representatives Cox, Smith of

MOSCUW. ne was QIlVen I'M
mediately to the White House
from National Airport and
told reporters he had no COM
ment on his conferences with
Premier Stain.
BY the Associated Press.
The whole RuSsian-American
picture will be discussed by
President Truman at a news
conference tomorrow.
This announcement came from
the White House today as Mr.. Tru-
man awaited the arrival of Harry
l.. Hopkins, his executive assistant
who has just completed a mission to
Moscow and who is reported re-
turning with Premier Stains offer
OF a compromise in the long-dead-
locked Polish government issue.
Mr.. Hopkins was expected to reach
Washington this afternoon.
Charles G. Ross, presidential press
secretary, told reporters he doubted
whether there would be any news
on Mr.. Hopkins conferences with
Premier Stain today. But he added:
Certainly the President will have
something to say about the whole
situation at his press conference to-
morrow"
Press Conference at 10: 80.
The news conference was set for
1890 am.
Capitals Of various United Ma
tions contributed optimistic specu-
lation over the success of Mr.. Hop
kins' mission.
Reports were generally accepted
here that Mr.. Hopkins, long a con-
fidante of the late President Roose-
welt. carried assurance of Premier
Stains willingness to participate
in another Big Three meeting,
along with possible suggestions of a
place and date.
Diplomatic quarters In London
reflected mounting hope for a new
attempt to work out the conflict
over British and American insist
ence upon a new, broader based
provisional government for Poland.
Enthusiasm General
While members of the Polish
exiled government In London re-
manned unencouraged. enthusiasm
was general elsewhere. London
Poles expressed doubt that Russia
would agree to their recognition In
any compromise.
Optimism In ether aseircies s~SS

firmed reports that Mr.. Hopkins.
who talked four times with Premier
Stain, had negotiated the release
OF most of the II Polish political
leaders arrested and accused by the
Russians of behind the lines SUBJ
version.
Such a step might be a prelude
to the reopening of the Polish gov
ernment discussions which have dis
turbed past Big Three relations
These discussions, envisaged at YaIta
earlier in the year, were broken of
suddenly at San Francisco when
the arrests became known.

The Sikhs Had Word for IT

Khaki comes into its own as hun
dreds of thousands of soldiers fight
in the deserts and on the dry pla-
teaus of north Africa What is khaki?
It's a color, says a National Geo
graphic society bulletin. The name
comes from the Hindustani and Per-
sian word KHAKI, meaning earth, or
dust. British soldiers in India dur
ing the wars with the Sikhs, 1345-49,
felt too conspicuous for comfort in
their campaign whites. They need
cd camouhage. BY dipping their uni
forms in muddy water they changed
them from white to-the Sikhs had
word for it--khaki. Thereafter khaki
promptly became standard for East
Indian campaigning. The name at
tached itself to the closely twilled
cotton cloth of the uniforms and
stuck without regard for the shade.
Since 1900, however, it has gradually
regained its correct meaning and
has been applied to drab shades of
gray, brown and green, regardless
Of the material.

Without rate bureaus and associaS
tions, a shipper or traveller would
be put to untold inconvenience IN
dealing with numerous individual
roads. The efficient handling of our
enormous wartime traffic would
have been impossible.
Commenting on the antitrust
suits against the railroads, the New
York Times says: 1.-The purpose of
these rate bureaus and associations
is to act as a sort of clearing house
for the consideration and adjust
ment of traffic matters between the
carriers and the shipping public.
Through them, any railroad or ship
per may originate proposal TO
change rates S. Any adjustment
that is agreed to by these various
boards is submitted both to state
regulatory bodies and the Inter
state Commerce Commission, and
after a period of 80 days, if there is
no objection from any source, the
tariff change automatically becomes
effective. Through this system, mil

items and points of origin and des-
tination, have been worked out.
Since such a system attempts TO
adjust each rate on its merits, -.
it is designed to meet the needs OF
every shipper" :,
To guard against confusion in rail
transportation that would follow II
the Department of Justice could de-
stroy the conference method of rate
making, Congressman BulWlnkle
from North Carolina, has introduced
a bill that would enable the rail
roads and other transport systems
to continue the conference method
of making rates subject to review
and approval by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, as they have
done for nearly half century.
Efficient postwar railroad trans
portation will depend on the right
of the carriers to give uniform serv-
ice. Representative Bulwinkle is to
be commended for seeking to guard
the nations roundhouse before its
transportation horse is given knock
out drops.

Beef Stews
Are Good News


A beef stew is good news in any
American home. With Utility beef
this economical and tasty dish
should become a regular standby
on the menu. Stewing is one Of the
best ways TO prepare Utility beef.
for the long, slow cooking with
moisture makes the meat tender
and delicious.
Jessie Alice Cline, home econo-
mist, gives these directions for IT'LL
ity beef stew: Dredge the meat with
seasoned flour and brown slowly
in hot fat. Add liquid to cover the
meat Add seasonings. Cover the
pan tightly, and allow the stew TO-
simmer (not boil) a good, long
time-about 3 hours for Utility
beef. Add vegetables Cf desired)
just long enough before the meat is
tender to cook them through.
The intriguing charm about a
stew is the way you vary it from
one time to the next-by clever
use of seasonings, different COM
binations of vegetables, and special
accompaniments. For seasonings-
add a bit Of bay leaves, parsley,
celery tops, peppercorns, or whole
cloves to the water during cook
ing. For vegetables-try potatoes,
onions and carrots tomatoes,
celery and onions lima beans,
corn and green pepper. For ac-
companiments-tuc in some dump
ings, giving them Is minutes of
steam before removing the lid, to
be sure they're proud and fluffy
Or serve the stew on a platter,
surrounded by golden egg noodles
Put meat, vegetables and gravy in
casserole, and top with herb bis
cults for an unusual meat pie.
