when they had become acquainted
with him gave their consent to his
marriage, which was to take place
on September Is.
The Army, however, had other
ideas. The sergeant got orders
plainly indicating that his days in
Paris were numbered. Regretfully
the couple postponed the wedding
and instead their engagement was
announced by Renee's aunt, Mile,
Louise Chausson, at a gala party at
her apartment, on the day originally
set for the wedding.
Four days later the sergeant was
enroute to the United States and
one month later he became Mr..
Deeds again-and promptly started
on the long procedure necessary to
bring Mile. Chausson to Hagerstown.
Since October he has been filing
affdavits of every conceivable sort
his own and his fathers financial
statements; letters from his employ
ers Che is connected with the West
ern Maryland Railroad) vouching
for his status in their employ; pas
sage money, since the low value of
the franc renders French money
unacceptable for passport purposes,
and affidavits from his married sister
guaranteeing moral support to Mile.
Chausson, should the need arise.
In Paris, Mile. Chausson, in turn,
has presented all of this to the
American Embassy. She has under
gone a physical examination and a
thorough investigation of herself
and her family as a security meas
ure.
All this accomplished, there re-
NAMED nothing further to do ex-
cept wait until her application for
a visa was approved by the En-
bassy. At last, dramatically, it hap
pened-out of one hundred applica-
tons for visa on file at the En-
bassy, ten were selected for con-
sideration and out of the ten, one
person only was granted a visa
Mile. Renee Chausson.
Friday, by cable, the great news
came to Mr.. Deeds. His fancee had
sailed from Antwerp on the SIS.
Darien for New York.
Mr.. Deeds, who is burning up the
wires trying to get clue on the
Darien's arrival date, confesses that
eating and sleeping are both a bit
difficult these days. AS soon as he
gets "the word" on the Darien he'll
be off to New York to "see a man
about ship" He will be accom-
panied by his sister, since regula-
lions require that foreign girls must
be met at the dock by a married wo-
man of their fiancee's family.
They will return to Hagerstown,
where Mr. Deeds lives with his
father on w. Franklin Street, and
the date for the wedding will be
set after Mile. Chausson has had
time to get acquainted with her
new family.
Mile. Chausson, who is twenty
,, five years old, has had only six
months of English, as part of her
formal schooling. She reads and
writes the language rather well,
however, but has difficulty speaking
it.
Mile. Chausson is an artist in
ceramics, which she studied for sew
eral years, and had established her
self in small business in that line.
I'm no connoisseur of art" Mr..
Deeds remarked, "but the ceramics
! that she has done look very good

The Honenaker's
Corner
By MARY DOUGLAS

Before the spring crops from near
by farms come to market, we find
fruits and vegetables cost more now
when the housewife plans for bit
of seasonal spring tonic in the way
of lighter foods, instead of the old
fashioned remedy of sulfur and
molasses
A salad of raw vegetables makes
good-tasting dish to liven meals
in late winter and yet keep down
food costs. Raw cabbage makes a
good and inexpensive base for
salad, and may be mixed with raw
rutabaga, carrot, caulifower, celery,
spinach, kale, and endive, with per-
haps bit of raw onion. A little
raw apple or a few dried fruits add
flavor to the mixture.
To make the salad main dish,
add diced potatoes, cottage cheese,
or hard boiled chopped eggs, along
with French dressing, salad dress
ing, or mayannaise. For best results,
chill the ingredients well, and mix
them at the last minute possible
before serving.
Use GibIetS
The wartime shortage of poultry
and turkey has eased, so that the
supply of giblets also is improved.
Chicken and turkey ivers, gizzards,
and hearts can be bought by the
pound in some shops, now that cut
up chicken and turkey is growing
more popular. Even the farm home
maker can use giblets in a variety
of tasty omelets, soups, and stews,
as well as in gravy, even though
she does not buy these meats by
the pound. The food value is high,
and the cost comparatively low, says
Miss Margaret McPheeters, extern
sion nutritionist of the University
of Maryland. Livers, she says, are
very tender, so need only short
quick cooking Hearts and gizzards
of the birds need long slow simmer
ing in order to be tender eating.
Big Breakfast
The day of apple pie and fried
potatoes for breakfast is long past,
but many persons who dash off to
work or school in a hurry today,
find they are hungry or tired long
before noon. A balanced breakfast
of good foods after a long night
without food is the best preparation
for a days work. Without it, most
persons cannot get the right foods
for good health in the other two
meals of the day, especially if they
eat hurried lunch.
Essentials of a good breakfast are
fruit or fruit juice, whole grain or
enriched cereal or bread, milk and
hot drink. Eggs, bacon, sausage and
other foods may be added.

Here in Washington County we
have been more fortunate than
the housewives in the large
cities, in being able to get most
any cuts of beef and veal that we
want, and more recently pork has
been more plentiful. We have also
noticed few hams showing up at
intervals. Any way, as long as we
can buy pot roast or a chicken,
we can get plenty of variety and
nouriShment for our families. Pot
roasts may be cooked in a number
of ways. Wine and cider are both
fine additions to add flavor and i'm
part tenderness.
A pot roast with noodles, dump
ings, or served with variety of
vegetables, makes a delicious en-
tree. Cook the pot roast this way.
Pot Roast
Select a 3 pound cut of beef
shoulder, chuck, blade bone, bone
less neck, or rump of beef. Wipe
with a damp cloth and lard with
a piece Of salt pork, or bacon if
possible. Rub the meat with a cut
Glove of garlic if desired. Season
with salt and pepper, then dredge
with flour. Heat two tablespoons of
Tat IN heavy kettle or pot, over
high heat Saute in the fat 81 cup
OF chopped onion. Remove the onion
when Drowned Scar the roast on
all sides in the fat until it is, a dark
brown. Pour over the meat 2 cups
or more of boiling stock vegetable
stock may be used), or l cup of
stock and l cup of canned tomatoes.
There should be at least p inch
liquid IN the pot. Reduce the heat
to simmering point. Cover the pot
and simmer two or three hours, or
until tender. If the meat becomes
dry, add more stock. When done, re-
move the roast, strain the stock and
thicken with flour. Serve with
noodles or dumplings, or vegetables,
such as carrots, tiny onions and
potatoes, may be cooked in the
stock. If sour-sweet gravy is
desired, add ~ tablespoons of
lemon juice, acid wine, or vinegar.
Chicken fricasse may be made in
several ways, but when made the
wine-way it is especially appealing.
This is the recipe
Chicken Fricassee
Cut stewing chicken (about 5
pounds) into serving pieces. Place
the chicken in skillet with "a cup
margarine or other fat, to brown.
Add l cup small white onions, "

Duquesne, Pa.-(FP). "The
Lord himself could not speak in
Duquesne for the AFL," said the
mayor of this town on the eve. of
the 1919 steel strike. That was
back in the days when the Carne-
gle Steel Co., wrote the laws, when
its armed goons roamed the streets
and union organizers either got out
Of town quick-or were carried out.
But now workers here smile
when you remind them OF the may
cr's words of 1919, for even in their
strike headquarters on the hill
above the steel works can be heard
the unions sound truck which goes
openly through the streets, bring
ing music and encouraging speeches
to the pickets huddled around sala-
manders at the four gates of the
huge plant.
There's no longer any secrecy.
Union buttons and picket signs are
an ordinary sight in the streets of
this grimy steel town and almost
all of it's 10000 people are behind
the unions fight for an 1870 hour
ly wage increase. And that's mot
surprising, because almost every
body here belongs to workers
family.

Comment On World Events

ly articulate in stating the kinds of
new cities they want, and the planners
extraordinarily competent in their So
lutions. Among the outstanding plans
for the rehabilitating cities are those
for Greater London, Manchester, and
Plymouth.
Also noteworthy is the work of the
Association for Planning and Regional
Reconstruction and the hundreds OF
small study groups that complement
the work Of official agencies. There is
still considerable doubt, however,
whether the central government will
provide sufficient authority and fl
planning into reality.
Planning in Russia is taking the
form of fourth Five Year Plan which
has already been put into operation.
The aim Of the new plan, which has
many political notifications in COM
parison with previous plans, is ito
overcome all war ravages within 2 or
3 years and to proceed to further de-
velopment and expansion so that by
1850 the Soviet Union will be econo-
mically far ahead of its position in
l941."
France has set up a Minister of
Reconstruction and Urbanism in the
government. Two-thirds Of Frances
$500 architects are now working on
local rebuilding plans which must be
approved by an advisory committee
Of men.
According to the report, the Philip
pine government has made remarkable
progress in developing plans for Ma
nila and a number of other cities in
the Islands.
National planning in China is called
"understandably confused" at the mo-
ment, but number of American train
ed Chinese are now in government
service where they are outlining large
scale development of their country's
vast human and material resources.
Among other countries doing out
standing national planning are Can
ada, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Chile.

Vets Rebel At
IStrikebreukinq

Huntington Park, Calif.-(FP). -
"They looked husky enough to keep
any striker in his place" For that rea-
son the U. S. Employment Service
here referred three veterans to a pri-
vate detective agency in nearby Los
Angeles, which was recruiting strike
breakers.
But the three vets-Al Rowan, Paul
T. Huckaby and Gene NJ. Sills-were
members of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, Earl w. Odell post, half of
whose members are union men.
SO they weren't having any strike
busting jobs and they quickly reported
the USES attempt to their post, which
demanded that referral of strikebreak-
ers 'be discontinued Immediately and
the USES remain entirely neutral in
strike situations"
The VFW post further blasted "any
attempt to utilize veterans as vigilan-
tes or strikebreaking muscle men,"

Cont Cope With
Jobless Filing
Benefit Claims
BY ELIZABETH GREEN

St. Louis-(FP).- Unemployment
has hit ST. Louis hard. From $4,000 to
$4,000 workers were laid off after
W Day, according to USES Director
Paul P. Connole, and official unem-
ployment for st. Louis and the county
still hewed close to $4,000 Jan. /.
Aggravating the situation is the in
ability of the U. S. Employment Ser
vice and unemployment compensation
offices to cope with the crowds Of
workers making inquiries and regis
tering for jobless benefits and place
ment.
"We will probably have 100000 out
of work in St. Louis soon," labor
spokesman told me. "The unemploy-
ment compensation office is badly un-
dermanned for meeting the present
situation. The wages aren't good en-
ough to attract people to work there,
for one thing, and the commission has
not authorized an adequate staff.
"The compensation office is even
more seriously understaffed than the
USES and though the head man is do
ing the best he can under the present
setup, there is no method and every
thing is in terrific state of confu-
siOn."'
Early postwar attempts to disqual-
ify war workers for unemployment
compensation for refusing lower pay
ing, less skilled jobs were met by joint
protest of all labor organizations to
the commission and stopped. There
are now so many unemployed and
so few jobs that there is no further
excuse for this practice anyway,
unionists pointed out.

April l MdY See
West Coust
Strike

San Francisco-(FP).-The Water
front Employers Assn, has broken off
contract negotiations with the lntl.
Longshoremen's & Warehousemen's
Union after six months and the ILWU
negotiating committee has unanimous
ly recommended a coast-wide long
shore strike by April /.
The union charged employers with
stalling on payment of retroactive in
terim raises ordered by the War La
Dor Board in August, to be paid from
October 1914. The employers denied
stalling, claiming it would take "sev-
eral months to work out the details"
The same shipping companies with
which the ILWU is deaii1gs eri the
west coast have been ordetSd b the
WLB to pay north Atlantic coast abhg-
shoremen 81 so hourly with $2,26 oyer
time. The ILWU modified It's own de-
mands to fit this award. but the en-
ployer association refused to consid-
er them. The yalso refused to cohsid-
er them. They also refused to aconsid-
employment or arbitration Of disputed
demands except under limitations
which the union claims would deprive
members of their rights under the
wage-hour act. :.
Nearly $4,000 workers on the west
coast would be affected by a. strike.
The ILWU wired Pres. Truman that
only immediate Presidential interven-
ton and, action can prevent a coast
wide tieup of all shipping.

Shortage Of decent housing, on
which the American Federation Of
Labor has recently spoken so forcibly,
is worldwide problem. This is en-
phasized by review Of planning in
l945 made by the American Society Of
Planning Officials, which says that
many United Nations, in addition to
the United States, have been planning
accelerated reconstruction and devel-
opment programs since the war end
ed.
The housing situation in this coun-
try, in the words Of the AFL, is one
of the nations "prime headaches" 1t
is even more Of a headache" in coun-
tries directly affected by wars des-
truction, as in Great Britain. When
the war ended, Britain had 100000
dwelling units which had been made
uninhabitable, or which had been com
pletely erased by enemy action. There
is a need for 100000 new homes
there. Other nations are even worse
off. In France there are 1926, 600
damaged houses, 100000 of them be-
yond conceivable repair Today, in
Russia, 25,000,0G0 people live in caves,
dugouts, or shacks put together from
abandoned war material.
No one knows the total lack of even
rudimentary shelter in Spain, Italy,
Yugoslavia, Germany, the Balkans, the
Philippines, China and Japan.
For actual excellence of plans, ac-
cording to the planning officials re-
port, a new high rank must go to Eng
land where the people have been high

ALL Wuitresses
Give Tips To
Their Customers

New York (FP).-There are some
things customers ought 10 know for
their own good, according to the pa
tient, long-suffering Mattresses who
serve them in hotel dining rooms.
These girls, members Of Local 6, Hotel
Il Club Employees Union (AFL), gave
Federated Press list Of pet peeves
that would make the average guest
sit up and reach for mirror. In the
interest of science, we can classify
these specimens by type:
CAFE CASANOVA: The guy who
comes in trying to pick up date.
They wouldn't think of asking every
secretary they see for date, but
they seem to think they can always
date a waitress.
TRAIN CATCHER: The party who
wants quick service because he has to
catch train. So you rush and serve
him and then he takes up your table
for an hour and a half. All he had to
catch was the subway.
THE SUPERMAN: The superman
feels, like Hitler, that he shouldn't
have to eat in the same room with a
member of a race he feels is not his
equal. Typical: 81 feel so sorry for
you, such nice girl to have to wait
on colOred man."
EPICURE: The character who
keeps sending you back for this and
that--who would like soupcon of
basil for his salad or, after you have
brought it, maybe thyme is what it
needs.
DUTCH TREATERS: These are
often women. They never order alike
and they want everything Tailed on
separate checks. They each want a
$40 bill changed and then each chip
in a nickel for the tip.
| THE STIFF: This is a large and
diversified category. There are all
kinds of breeds, from the shamefaced
ones who slink out when your back is
turned to the ones who pick a quarrel
to justify themselves. But they don't
leave tips. Some avoid tipping by
getting their own drinks at the bar
and carrying them to table. Then
there is the wife who protests the
tip is too big and takes away SOC out
of 75c and the husband says: "Yes,
DEAR"
THE WALKOUT: This breed is
probably the worlds meanest. Most
Of them don't know that the waitress
has to make good when she doesn't
collect their check. Many are pro-
fessionals and have developed the
trick of leaving without paying to
fine art.
THE MYSTIC: They expect you to
be mind-readers. They will order fried
eggs and when you bring them, they
thought you knew they wanted them
turned over.
THE REGULAR: Usually man,
this character wants his friends to
know he has been here before. "Hi,
Nellie" he will say to May, with an
affectionate gesture, shows the girl? %
He is apt to order: Bring the usual
and is mortified if the waitress has
to ask what is usual. !
Summing up the mattresses say of
customers: "In general, we dislike
their bad manners. The. majority
haven't yet learned to treat mattresses
as people who, are doing them ser
vice, and not as their personal maids"

Ellender-Taft Housing bill because it
places maximum reliance on private
enterprise and local initiative" The
statement added that the proposed
legislation contains the major objec-
tlves of the national housing policy
formulated by the AFL and has the
unqualified support of the great mass
of wage earners."

Strike Benefits
Hit In Congress

WaSnlngCOn-(ff ).-SOnSTeSS was
asked Jan. 21 to reconsider its posi-
tion on financing the current anti
union drive of Big Business through
the operation of the tax law that the
late Pres. Franklin d. Roosevelt We
toed as giving "relief to the greedy
and not the needy"
Under the carry-back provisions Of
the law, passed over Roosevelt's veto,
corporations are permitted to make
up losses from postwar operations Tor
non-operations) by drawing on the
U. S. treasury for sums paid into the
excess profits account during the war.
Rep. Cleveland NJ. Bailey Cd, w.

to repeal the unused excess profits
credit carry-back from taxable years
beginning after Dec. 81, l945. 1t was
referred to the ways and means COM
mittee.
While Sen. Wayne Morse Or, Ore.)
suggested that the government must
proceed to determine to what extent
savings are being used to carry on an
anti-labor drive by big business" Sen.
Walter F. George Cd, Ga.) replied that
he considered the losses of corpora
tions from strikes as Legitimate
losses"
Siding with George was Rep. Harold
Knutson (R, Minn.) minority spokes-
man on the ways and means commit
tee who argued that "if the admins
tration recommends revision OF the
business tax credit at this time it
will be solely for the purpose Of club
