underpaid and have been for many
years. I think that they are en-
titled-and have already so ex-
pressed myself-to a salary any,
where from SIS 900 to $25 900 a year.
I recommend that the Congress en-
act legislation providing that the
salaries of it's members be increased
to $4,000 per year.
At the same time I recommend
the repeal of the provision now ap-
plicable to the House of Representa-
tives for an additional expense al
lowance. There should be straight
out-and-out salary increase for all
members. We should make service
in the Congress of the United States
available without hardship to ordi-
nary citizens who have to look to
the salary for their sole support. I
also recommend that an adequate
retirement system should be pro-
vided for the members of the Con-
gress who have served for long
period of years.
This should be the first step in
creating a decent salary scale for
all Federal Government employees
executive, legislative and judicial
The most important impediment
to obtaining efficient administrative
officials in the Federal Government
has been the pitiful wage scale.
During the war many able and ex-
perienced men were obtained for
Federal service on purely patriotic
grounds. Some of these men who
are unable to continue at the pres
ent salary scales would be willing
to remain at adequate salaries.
In most of the various classiflca-
tions of Federal employees, the wage
scales, with few exceptions. are OBJ
solete and inadequate. This is par
ticularly true of the Federal ju-
dietary.
I sincerely hope that the Con-
gress will take early steps to pro-
vide decent wage scales for It's men,
bers and for the executive and ju-
dicial branches of the Government.

The Chicago Tribune and its pub
Usher, Col. Robert r. Mccormick,

Court for rehearing of its decision

legislation to permit such sales be
expedited so that the uncertainty
about the disposal Of our large sur
plus tonnage may be removed. In
this way, American shipping COM
panies may undertake commercial
operation as rapidly as ships can
be released from Government con-
troll, and the foreign market can
also be used for selling those vessels
which are in excess of the needs
of our postwar American merchant
marine and national defense.
Fl. Strategic Material
One of the costliest lessons of our
unpreparedness for this war was
the great danger involved in de-
pending upon foreign sources for
supplies of raw materials necessary
in times of national emergency. The
United States should never again
permit itself to be placed in a posi-
ton where its defense may be
jeopardized by the fact that it has
been cut off from the source Of
strategic raw materials.
I recommend that the Congress
enact legislation to bring about the
acquisition and retention of stock
piles of materials in which we are
naturally deficient but which are
necessary to supply the needs of the
Nation for defense.
I shall shortly communicate with
the Congress recommending a ma
tional health program to provide
adequate medical care for all Ameri-
cans and to protect them from
financial loss and hardships result
ing from illness and accident.
shall also communicate with the
Congress with respect to expanding
our social security system and i'm
proving our program Of education
for our citizens.
In this hour Of victory over our
enemies abroad let us now resolve to
use all our efforts and energies to
build better life here at home and
a better world for generations to
come.
The Congress has played it's full
part in shaping the domestic and
foreign policies which have won
this victory and started us on the
road to lasting peace.
The Congress, I know, will con-
tinue to play its patriotic part in
the difncult years ahead. We face
the future together with confidence
that the Job, the full job, can and
Will be done.

such neglect.
Though eventually his body may
suffer greatly from such disregard.
the consequences may not at first be-
apparent, because your baby has a
reserve supply of certain elements
stored up in his body at birth.
For instance he has a fair stock
of iron, necessary in building
healthy blood. There is enough iron
on deposit in his body to carry him
through the first five months. After
that the iron will be depleted. This
must never be allowed to happen.
For iron is essential to making good
blood. To prevent iron-poverty,
baby must be fed an iron-rich diet.
Milk, his first food, will not help;
for milk is very low in iron.
Around the fourth month, there
fore, the baby's doctor will sugge.t t
that pre-cooked cereal foods, e-S
yolk, strained beef and liver sol
and strained vegetables be added
to his diet. The glass-packed

finely so a tiny baby can handle
them, they have additional vitamins

Developing your baby's body is
something like growing a field of
corn. If the land is turned up in the
spring and the grain planted, the
chances are some stalks of corn will
grow. But they may be scrappy,
uneven, irregular in their develop
ment of grains and ears. Care like
this provides very second rate
crop.
But take a field of hybrid corn
grown from registered seed, planted
IN a good season in carefully titled
soil that has been fertilized and en-
riched with the chemical elements
that make for ideal growth. And
what do you have? Why you have
those vast, perfect fields, seen now
in most of the finer agricultural
sections of the country. The stalks
are straight and uniform and tall.
The tassels are flowing and rhyth-
mically formed. The ears are fine,
firm, perfect in development and
shape. The difference lies partly in
the breeding, partly in care and
good soil feeding.
Just so it is with babies. For the
best development and growth baby
needs certain food elements that
make teeth and bones, muscles,
nerves, good blood, and skin. When
these elements are missing, he may
live and grow like the untended
field of corn. But he will never

IT'S an American tradition this
L plum pudding and coffee :. and
no Christmas dinner would seem
complete without them. The plum
pudding pictured above is as mouth
watering and delicious as it looks.
You are certain to like the subtle
flavor acquired by using coffee for
half the liquid the recipe calls for.
Serve this plum pudding with
steaming cups of coffee for the per-
feet climax of any meal. But be sure
10 make that coffee good. Use enough
fresh coffee to make the beverage
full bodied and a real "party" brew.
Here is a plum pudding that will
DO honor to your dinner on Christ
mas Day. The flavor is particularly
pleasing, since coffee is an impor-
liant and essential ingredient. The
pudding will keep indefinitely in the
refrigerator and a long time with
out any refrigeration at all - so
make plenty while you are about it |!
The amount called for in this recipe
makes two medium-sized puddings
Or eight small ones. Here is the
