Of the Government jobs filled were

hoped to get permanent appointments
later.
The Post Office took the largest
number of those who went into the
Federal service. Others became police
men, flremen or city maintenance
workers.
The. War Department asked the men
this specific question:
Before you were discharged from
the Army, you probably had some plans
about the kind of work you would do
right after you got out of the Army.
Have you been able to carry out the

FOOD Is MEDICINE, TOO
Continued from page ten

c'~"s'eess~ J'c''' f~oS WV
No meat loaves, no hash dishes,
no stews are among the master-flle
recipes. Army men are pretty tired
right now of meats resembling canned
wartime varieties But if there must
be ground meat - have Salisbury
steak. Mrs. Wallace has discovered
that this is seldom left on the plate.
And ground beef is forked down with
gusto when combined with macaroni
and tomatoes, casserole style.
Generally, the men are friendly
to any meat except the bland little
lamb. Steak is great stuff. Chill
con carne has such high rating
that in cold weather it is served at
the stations every Saturday night.

eggs, but not the scrambled kind.
which are associated with the un-
popular powdered stuff they ate
at the front. Returnees from the
Pacific turn thumbs down on rice.
But pass the potatoes - any style
- and Joe will take a big dip.
French fries are in the lead, baked
potatoes run second. Mashed pota-
toes are the least popular. Blame
those dehydrated wartime spuds
which were dished up mashed.
Back For Seconds
In THE vegetable kingdom, beets
are at the bottom of the heap. If
man spent time in England - then
it's Brussels sprouts. The beloved pea
will be eaten in any combination.
Oddly enough, spinach is high on
the favored list. Tomatoes get the
nod, whether served sliced, in old
fashioned cream of tomato soup or
as a hot vegetable And here's one
to try on your homecoming hero:
French-fried cauliflower. Men rush
back to this dish for seconds. Onions
get big hand, raw or cooked.
"A la king" is queen of the
sauces. Tomato sauce is dandy;
also the hot barbecue numbers,
and any kind of gravy. Men are
friendly to salads, especially that
American classic, the Waldorf. About
80 per cent of the returnees vote for
cottage cheese blended with vege-
tables.
Jellied salads merit masculine es-

Fill up the fruit basket. The re-
turning GIs can't get enough apples,
oranges, or any fruit in season. To
satisfy this hunger, the stations serve
fresh fruits at breakfast, lunch and
dinner. Yes, in addition to dessert.
There's also fruit at the snack bars
for between meals nibbling.
Eases Tension
ALL a man wants to eat. that's
part 'of the program. Eating. it is
found, eases tension. To provide
around-the-clock bounty, an in
crease of so per cent has been made
in returnees' ration allowances.
Snack bars are open all hours be-

Hodge Tells Of Firing
ByU. s., Soviet Troops
By the Assoc;oted Pres

SEOUL, Aug. 22.-Lt. Gen. John
r. Hodge, although denying a
Washington columnist's report of a
three-day Russian American skirm-
ish in Korea. today announced that
last July l warning shots had been
fired by both American and Soviet
troops after an American patrol,
by mistake, had crossed the border
of the Russian zone.
No one was wounded, the Amer
leans withdrew promptly, and an
apology was sent to Russian head
quarters in North Korea, Gen.
Hodge added. The lieutenant in
charge of the American patrol was
relieved of his command.
Gen. Hodge, commander of
American forces occupying South
ern Korea, said the incident had
been almost forgotten. The patrol
was on routine border duty, he ex-
planned, and had entered a Korean
village not knowing it was in Rus
sian territory.
They saw one Russian soldier and
fired warning shots into the air,
whereupon other Russians appeared
and fired several shots in the gen.
eral direction of the Americans.

Cattle Prices Rise 81
In Furry Of Trading
By the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-All livestock
buying interests leaped into the
trade today with the result that
prices skyrocketed S100 on cattle,
S100 to $500 on hogs, and rs cents
to SITS on spring lambs
Markedly sharper activity con-
trasted strongly with trade yester-
day when big packers stayed out of
the market and Eastern buyers took
most supplies.
Traders attributed the overnight
change in tactics to an extension of
a week more before the ONCE of
Price Administration would bring
livestock back under ceiling con-
trolls.
Advanced prices in cattle came
despite lower quality receipts than
yesterday. There was nothing rat
ing strictly choice grade today, but
even SO fed steers and yearlings
topped at $500 and the general
steer market of $1,000 to $3.50
reached the highest outside price on
record.
All lower grade beef material,
such as cows and bulls, also went
so to rs cents higher, and best veal
ers reached their highest price of
the month at $500
Hogs matched their alltime price
record of s24.50, set August !. and
choice lightweight sows at $22.50
were within quarter of their peak.
Although lamb trading yesterday
was at standstill. all interests went
after everything they could get to-
day and completely cleared the
market on early rounds. A top of
$40 was paid by packer and
was back up to the best level of the
last 10 days.

Budget Bureau Gives
Method of Figuring
Total to Be Fired

Due to the confusion regard
ing the number of Federal
workers to be fired during the
next quarterly period, the Bud
get Bureau today gave the fol-
lowing explanation:
The total number of employees
to lose their present jobs in
agencies outside the Veterans
Administration, the War Assets
Administration and the Post
Office is scheduled to be about
1877 900. These three agencies
will hire 10000 new employees,
making a net reduction of only
$4,000 in the Federal service.
To this figure, the Budget
Bureau adds the 10000 United
States Employment Service en-
ployes who are being taken off
the Federal pay roll as the
USES returns to the States. and
gets a total figure of 104 900 as
the final net reduction in Fed
eral personnel by November Is.

BY the Associated Pres,

PARIS, Aug. 22.-Secretary of
State Byrnes left the Peace Con-
ference session almost as soon
as it had convened this morning
to confer with his advisers on
the Yugoslav situation.
His action emphasized how the
United States blunt 48-hour ulti-
matum to Yugoslavia overshadowed
all else among the diplomats assem-
bled in Paris to write Europe's peace
treaties.
Mr. Byrnes closeted himself at his
headquarters with Charles E.
Bohlen, State Department adviser
on Eastern European affairs. and
Samuel Reber, adviser on European
affairs.
Connally Reaches Paris.
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee ar
rived today and conferred immed-
lately with Mr.. Byrnes on the Yugo-
slav situation.
Senator Connolly was summoned
to Paris several days ago by Mr.
Byrnes to assist in Peace Conference
discussions.
Accompanied by Mrs. Connally.
the Senator was met at Orly Air
field by Mr.. Byrnes. who broke off
his discussions with advisers long
enough to greet the Texan.
Mr.. Byrnes then returned directly
to his headquarters where State De-
partment officials we're continuing

Matter in Tito's Hands.
There appeared little immediate
prospect that there would be any
official comment from the YugoslaV
delegation on the ultimatum.

ton members were busy on Paris

Yugoslav source said 1.-The matter is
in the hands of Marshal Tito" in
dicating all action and statements
would come from the head of the
government.
An unofficial Yugoslav source said
ne did not believe the American
press reaction to the forcing down

News Of the American uluimatum
circulated quickly among Peace
Conference delegates during the
early morning hours.

VA Seeks Disapproya
OF hevius Tract as
Site for Hospital
Agency Opposes 4-Story
Height Limit, Insists
On 'Skyseroper Type
By Miriom Ottenbero

The Veterans Administration
will ask the Federal Board of
disqualification to withdraw its
approval of the Nevius tract in
nearby Arlington as the site of
the new Washington veterans
hospital, it was learned today.
DR.. Paul R. Hawley, chief medi-
cal director of VA, said the dis
approval was asked because the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission insisted on four-story
height limit on the Arlington tract.
The tract, approved earlier by the
Veterans Administration and the
Federal Board, had to be cleared
by the Park and Planning Commits
sion. The commission, DR.. Hawley
said, then set the four STORY limit.
Skyscraper Type Sought.
DR.. Hawley insisted he could not
build modern hospital on the

lO-story "skyscraper type
AS a result, VA at least tempo
rarily has abandoned the idea of
using the tract owned by Avon
Nevius adjacent to Arlington Gene
terry, it was reported. The Federal
board will be told the Veterans Ad-
ministration decision at its next
meeting.
DR.. Hawley minced no words in
contending that the Park and Plan
ming Commission had thwarted VA
at every turn oy raising objections
to possible sites or putting on re-
strictions not acceptable to the vet
Grams agency,
He said VA was further behind
now than when it started looking
for a site last year, because objec-
tons had been raised to each of
some 60 sites it had considered.

In asking the Federal board to
withdraw its recommendation of the
