STRETCHING BUTTER.

From Mrs. F. J. c., Washington
During World War I we had
scarcity of butter and margarine
SO We devised ways of stretching Our
pound of butter The method I used
was satisfactory for both butter and
margarine and very satisfactory for
spread and sandwiches, we found
we used it many times as we would
have used whole butter.
One pound of butter, 4 to q cup
of whole sweet milk, small portion
salt. Warm the butter over hot
water to an easy mix consistency,
warm the milk. Mix the butter to
a cream, add the warm milk small
amount at a time. mix well each
time until you have used all or as
much as the butter will take. Keep
the butter and milk to soft mix
until you have finished, pour in a
container and keep in refrigerator.

(From H. /. NJ, College Park, Md.

you suggest something else?
CLEANING GAS RANGE; SAUCES
(Fron, Mrs. r. A. F., Washington
To clean. remove your gas burners
and put them in a solution of about
4 tablespoons washing soda to a gal

Army Charges Three
With 100000 Trade
In Reich Black Mart
BY the Associated Prsss

BERLIN, Dec. 17.-Court-martial
charges were filed today against 1t
Col. James G. Fisher Of Wilmette,
ILL.,, and Maj. Louis Dups Of Hollis,
N. Y, accusing them OF black mar
ket operations. Both formerly were
In the Decentralization branch Of the
American Military Government.
Marvin M. Van Stock of Chicago,
o former officer who has been dis
charged from the army, also was
charged.
The Army's Criminal Investiga-
; ton Division estimated that the
trio's operations entailed value of
about 100000. The date of their
court martial has not been an
nounced.
Fisher already is under sentence
of one year in prison on previous
charge of illicit trading. He and
Dups were suspended from their
Jobs several months ago and placed
under house arrest.
Extradition Sought
Van Stock, former lieutenant
employed in the military govern
ment, obtained his discharge from
the Army while on leave in the
United States. A CID agent has
gone there to seek his extradition.
The charges filed by the Judge ad-
vocate, Col. Lester Prichard, alleged
that Fisher, Dups and Van Stock,
during a period from August, 1945,
to October, 1916, "wrongfully and
unlawfully" used their positions as
Army officers to engage in business
in a manner which tended to inter-
fere with and hamper the proper
discharge of their military duties"
The first of two charges was that
the officers made deals in the fol-
lowing items: American and foreign
currencies, precious metals and
stones, radium, jewelry, perfumes,
plastic molds, plants, tools and ma
chinery, watches, shoes, binoculars,
cameras, textiles, mercury, stockings,
lenses, cigarettes, automotive vehi-
cles, paintings, stocks, credits, loans
and securities.
Set Up Own Companies.
Another Speclf1cat1on alleged that
the men set up their own companies
to do business, including one called
the Overseas Industrial Corp. and
another called "Louis Dups, Inc"
The officers were charged with
"conspiring to defraud the Allied
powers and Germany by planning
and carrying out the systematic
looting of precious metals and stones
and bullion in custody and under
control of the Allied powers"
It was alleged that they ION at
least three occasions" forced open
safes and strong boxes "for the pur-
pose of extracting for their own
benefit precious metals and stones
and bullion which they had reason
to believe 1are contained therein" ;"
This refNred to undeclared Ger
man metals and stones which were
confiscated by the British and
American military governments in
their Operation Sparkler" of sew
eral months ago..

So Are Injuries

WASHINGTON OPA) - Dis
abling work injuries in manu-

This total represents $500

ANG Continues
Hearst Strike

LOS ANGELES, October 10
Refusal of the Hearst manage
ment of the Los Angeles Herald
Express to offer anything better
than a 1212 % wage boost to
striking members of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Guild-CIO dis
rupted negotiations here last
week and the papers 500 en-
ployes remained on their picket
lines.
Even after the Guild scaled
down its original demand for q
400 hike by one-third the
Hearst bosses refused to consid-
er a higher figure. ANG Presi-
dent Milton Murray, who headed
negotiations here, declared that
"the best management offer
would fail to meet to any rea-
sonable extent the skyrocketing
living costs of the Herald Ex-
press employees"
Murray pointed out that "The
average wage of the HE en-
Iployes who cover, digest, inter-
pret and distribute the news of
the world is about the same as
a postman and less than that of
the dog catcher of the city of
Los Angeles"
Committee Hears Report
The ANG's Wage Program
Advisory Committee, meeting in
Washington, heard a report by
Murray on the Los Angeles
strike and reviewed other con-
tract negotiations in Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia
and Seattle. The committee was
appointed by the unions execu-
tive board to direct the drive of
Guild locals for 500 a week
minimums in newspaper editor
ial rooms.
Arrangements efforts to de-
feat the Guilds program for bet
ter living standards for news
paper workers will be futile" a
committee statement declared.
"Yet it is evident that publish
ers in cities other than Los
Angeles are intent upon pro-
voking bitter economic struggles
before yielding any share of
their currently enormous profits
to the men and women who pro-
duce their newspapers.

CIO Men Are
South Targets

ATLANTA, Oct. 10, (LPA)-
Seventeen CIO organizers and
union members have been as
sauled since the CLOS southern
drive started in May, Drive Di-
rector Van A. Bittner reported
last week.
Terrorism has failed to slow
down the campaign, however,
Bittner said. On the contrary,
last week saw "a NLRB election

record for a single week since
the drive opened. The new VIC
tories brought the CLOS total
NLRB triumphs to $50 with 236
petitions for certification now

whom narrowly escaped with

learned by now that the use OF
force does not stop or even slow
down an organizing campaign.
We had hoped that we could go
about our legitimate business of
forming unions without having
our opposition resort to violence.
1t has become quite obvious,
however, that we had hoped in
vain"

detriment of veterans in the
long run.
Still further evidence of the
tory leadership's control of the
organization was seen in the
conventions action in backing
its retiring Commander John
Steele in his feud with Veteran
Administrator Omar N. Bradley.
Bradley Lashes Stelle
Bradley gave Stelle a verbal
lashing in which he charged
that the Legion chief spoke for
high income" veterans in ad-
vocating Congressional elimina-
ton of $500 a month ceilings
for GTs under the on-the-job-
training program.
Stelle, said Bradley, "has
elected to be the spokesman for
this minority group of veterans
whose incomes exceed the level
beyond which Congress will no
longer supplement their wages
in training. Stelle has chosen to
jeopardize the rights of more
than 100000 other veterans
of World War II to benefits of
the CT Bill.
He is manifestly unfair to a
Congress which this year voted
more for the veterans then ever
before in the history of our
country. His accusation l be-
lieve, is an affront to the mil
lions of American citizens who
this year will gladly devote a
substantial share of their earn
ings for the veterans benefits
they provided.
Concluding, Bradley declared,
What we have been able TO ac-
complish during this year has
been achieved not because of
but in spite of your national
commander"

Steelman says, "is the worst
possible way to bring demand

ever possible-without reducing

that in some industries the
profit position is such that prices
could be reduced and profits
still be maintained at a salts

Aims At Congress
The government, Steelman
reported in section obviously
aimed at Congress, finds itself
"gravely handicapped in our
fight against initiation through
lack of adequate governmental
machinery to cope with it,"
Labor, business and farmers
all must share in the work of
keeping the lid on initiation,
Steelman said. He issued a spe-
cial appeal 20 consumers: Pub
lie resistance to higher prices,
increased saving and self-denial
in the case of goods which are
not yet plentiful, can be a tre-
mendously effective weapon to
keep prices in line"
Referring to consumer resist
ance to high prices, the OWMR
report notes that there is some
indication that the bloom is off
the market" Figures compiled
by government agencies show
that the physical volume of such
goods as food and clothing pur-
chased in the past three months
may actually have declined
slightly.

Meat Scarcer:
Nation 'Beefs'

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (LPA)
Americans are eating more
food-even though they can't
get meat, butter, sugar and
fruits in the quantities that they
want-than they did before the
war. This is the estimate of the
Office of War Mobilization and
Reconversion in report to Con-
greSs and President last week.
"We are plagued with short
ages of some types of food" the
report indicates, confirming that
which every housewife knows
too well. For some items the
shortages will become worse
this winter. This is especially
true of meat"
A bumper crop of grain-the
most abundant on record-will
help to build up meat stocks
from six months to a year from
now, agriculture economists pre-
dict.
Packers Place Blame
In an attempt to throw up
.smokescreen before the real rea-
son for the shortage-the mar
keting and slaughtering of most
of our meat crop" during the
uncontrolled price spree in July
and Augustine American Meat
Institute came up with another
ingenious excuse for the short
age. 1t was, they charged SOL
emnly in a national convention
of meat packers, Communist
doctrines and downright mali
cious falSehoods' that have di-
miniShed the meat supply.
Reports from cattle centers-
Chicago, Omaha, and Iowa cities
indicate that most of the range
cattle coming to market are be-
ing sent back to the farms, to be
fed on the record-breaking corn
crop over the winter. In the
spring, such fat cattle can be
marketed much more profitably
even under OPA, and some
farmers are looking for the end
of all price controls next spring
when Congress convenes.
Secretary of Agriculture An
derson, speaking to farmers in
Minnesota last week, warned
them to hold the price line "in-
stead of gambling for more"
Food prices are basic to the
cost of living" he reminded the
farm audience. If they con-
tinue to rise, labor will ask for
higher wages, and the manufac-
turer for higher prices. These
will mean higher prices for the
things farmers must buy"
