Quick-Frozen Foods
 Up-And-C Coming Thing

eye Said, ''tie growth of quick freezing may be held up briefly until war restrictions are lifted and machinery becomes available. But after that, I believe we'll see a phenome~ al increase in the de- mands for both home and con- mercial use. Housewives will dis cover that quick-freezing in the home is possible for many products and is much less trouble than can- ming or dehydrating."
 Quick-freezing, the way Birdseye explains 1t, is simple matter.
 Vegetables are blanched in boil ing water or steam, then cooled and wrapped in a moisture-proof container and sealed with a warm iron. They are then quick-frozen at 10 to 9 degrees below zero, and stored usually at zero. When pro- perly handled, the foods will re- tain their flavor and vitamins for more than year if necessary.
 Home freezing boxes range from four to 35 cubic feet, and look like 8 streamlined washing machine. Refrigerator manufacturers already have fancy postwar designs on pa per, ready to begin production as soon as they get the green light from Washington. The production and distribution of freezers will provide employment for thousands after the war, Birdseye believes.
 Rationing has advanced public acceptance of frozen foods by at least five years, Birdseye said, be- cause 1t has forced housewives to sample 8 wider variety of products. The number of persons using quick-frozen foods has quadrupled since the advent of the OPA, he estimated. During the past year. Americans ate almost 1000, ,00O, 900 pounds of commercially frozen foods, while considerable quantities were stored in home freezers.
 Tt will be the fashion of the day after the war; Birdseye pre- dicted, ito sit down to com .Jlete dinner of quick-frozen foods that will include everything from soup to shortcake.'

Gloucester, Mass, March 27- (UP)-Quick-frozen foods will rev. olutionize world Swing standards after the war, Inventor Clarence Birdseye predicted today.
 Food freezing will do away with time and distance, and will make traffic in perishables an interna- tional big business" Birdseye said in an interview. City residents will be able to buy their food in wholesale lots, and many farm families will enjoy full winters supply of their own produce
 The 58-year-old inventor, who patented the first commercial quick-freezing process in 1925, said that quick-frozen foods will boost nutritional standards, particularly in war-ravished nations which have been undernourished during the past five years.

Chaos Rocks
 GermonArmV
BY w. R. HIGGINBOT-IAM

London, March N-(UP)-Light- ming Allied advances east of the Rhine were spreading chaos through the German army in the west today and a Stockholm dispatch said the Reich was on the verge of 8 military revolt.
 The brewing military revolt was reported by the free German press bureau, an anti-Nazi propaganda agency in Stockholm, without indi- eating the source of it's information
 Elite SS troops were patrolling Berlinan the agency said, with spec ial units cprdoning off Adolf Hit- ler's Reich chancellery and the Ger man high dommand offices.
 Hitler himself was holding con- ference after conference at his Berchtesgaden mountain-top retreat with top Nazis, including Baron Franz Won Papen, often mentioned as possible peace envoy, the agency said.
 One such conference was reported to have been held last night, but nc information was available as to the outcome. Summoned to the meeting by air were members of Hitler'S cab | inet and district leaders. Conspiculously absent from the meetings, the anti-Nazi agency said, was Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, su- preme commander of the German armed forces.
 Unrest even has spread to military training camps inside Germany, it went on. At Stahnsdorf, near Berlin, | shots were said to have been ex- changed between regular army i troops and SS units.
 Both Marshal Karl Won Rund- stedt, dismissed supreme comman- | der in the west, and Marshal Johannes Won Blaskowitz, com mander of the southern group on the western front, have been ar- rested and are awaiting court mar tial. the agency said.
 An exchange telegraph agency dispatch from Zurich said source there with close contact with the German war ministry learned that Marshal Albert Kesselring, named to succeed Rundstedt in the west, appeared unwilling to accept the command after a two-day inspec- tion of the front.
 A memorandum from Kesselring was said to have prompted a mid | night emergency meeting at Berch- tesgaden.
 Startling evidence of the state of Reorganization of the German army in the west came from the Nazi-controlled Frankfurt radio.
 The station appealed to leaders of local groups in the upper and lower Westerwald and lower Lahn areas-all immediately in front of the advancing American First and Third ArmieS-to report imme- diately to field command posts and collecting stations.
 Their help was needed to assist in assembling dispersed troops" the station said frankly.
 ''The Volkensturm (home guarO and the population also are asked to assist" the Frankfurt station said.
 British reconnaissance planes found evidence that the Germans have begun to move troops out ot Norway to reinforce their buck ling lines on the west front. RAF Halifax bombers attacked heavily guarded, fast-moving Ger man conveys believed loaded with troops and equipment in the Ska gerrak, between Norway and Den mark, Sunday night and early yes- terday. The conveys were escort ed by warships, night fighters and barrage balloons.
 A medium sized ship was hit di- rectly. an escort ship straddled with bombs and a near-missed re- ported on a destroyer, the air min iStrV said

Some of the greatest golfers in
the country started out as caddies
and it looks as If the best way tc
become an expert bowler is to start
out as a pin boy
The WEI invitation classic, held
at Raneys Coliseum last week, was
won by an ex-pin boy, Robert
Fahrney, with score Of 652.
A bad break in the weather pre-.
vented the out-of-town entrants
from getting here for the tourna-
ment, but there was good turnout
of Hagerstown bowlers.
Both Grover Crilley and Rufus
Edwards deserve a lot of credit fol-

and it should get bigger and better
every year. Who knows? Out OF
these tournaments may come real

Eighty entries were received for
the tournament, fifty-seven from out
of town and twenty-three from Ha-

that hit this area On Wednesday
afternoon, none Of the out-of-town

ever all twenty-three local entries
showed up and the tournament was
voted a huge success, despite the
bad break in the weather.

that the classic will be an annual
affair and it should build up to one
of the biggest bowling tournaments
