The fall conference will return
mce more to the knotty German
problem over which the four for
dgn ministers spent the last four
laws in fruitless wrangling.
Touching on n Of the major de-
cisions of the conference, Byrnes
said that the Observation-Disclosures of
Trieste could well serve as an ex-
pertinent in international coopera-
ton.
The nations OF the world have
entered into what is a great expert
ment that should determine wheth-
er il is possible for the United Ma
tons. in a situation of this kind,
to reach a solution" ne said.
He did not hesitate to accept
compromises on the European trea-
ties, Byrnes told his news confer
ence, because eff we had not got
ten a treaty we would have had a
clash that nobody wants.
Trieste was one of a number of
compromises reached on vital is
sues during the 28-day session. The
meeting paved the way for the 81
nation peace conference which will
discuss treaties with Italy, Finland.
Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria.
At the start of the final meeting
Yesterday the ministers received
from their deputies tentative drafts
for these treaties, agreed to sever
al minor changes in the drafts and
returned them to the deputies, who
were told to complete the docu-
mentS by Wednesday night.
The long debate on Germany
however, failed to produce any ap-
probable agreement, and it SEEM
ed that the Russians had reached
definite parting of the ways with
me western powers on the admins
ration Of the beaten reich.
French foreign minister and
president, Georges Bidault, in a
remarkable concession, agreed to
go along with Byrnes' proposal for
central economic administration
Tor Germany, SO long as the Saar
basin was not included. Molotov
rejected the proposal and asked

prompt restoration of "uncompro-
mised'' price and rent control.
In a radio broadcast (ABC),
Porter said much of American
business is dragging to a stand
still because of uncertainty over
future costs and prices.
He said this showdown is tenn
~porarily hiding many rises in con-
sumner prices that are certain to
break out later in a form to make
recent increases look small.
America hasn't een anything
yet" Porter warned.
Administration leaders we're
doubtful that President Truman
would sign the bill unless many
of the senate's restrictions r
eliminated.
Not Pleased
Neither was the bill pleasing to
Sen. Robert A. Taft. R., O., lead
er of anti-OPA forces in the up
per chamber. Taft blamed Presi-
dent Truman for what he term
ed failure of the revised bill to
encourage industrial production.
Taft said the presidents veto
of the original extension bill Great
ed a situation where mo one
today knows where he stands"
The senate bill, approved at
1:56 am. (EST) after a tumul-
tous 14-hour session, was loaded
with restrictions but did not car
ry the so-called Taft and Wherry
amendments singled out as OBJ
jectionable in the presidential
veto message.
1t was the substitute for these
amendments-which would have
assured manufacturers pre-wa-
profits and markups-that drew
Taft'S fire.
He said that while the substi-
tute adopted his formula, allow
ing producers 1910 prices plus in
creases in production costs, it
gave Price Administrator Paul A.
Porter discretion not to apply the
formula.
The senate had nailed these re-
strictions into the bill.
1. Price ceilings YER banned
on meat, livestock, dairy prod
ucts, poultry, eggs, milk. grain
and feeds, petroleum, tobacco,
cottonseed and soy beans.
2. Ceilings OF rent would be re-
stored at June 80 levels, but the
provision would not apply in
states setting up their own rent
controls.
3. Manufacturers, professors,
services, and transportation agents
would be guaranteed their 1910
prices plus increased costs, if the
higher prices are necessary for
increased production.
4. Controls on all non-essential
items would be junked at the
end of 1916.
5. OPA's controls over agricul-
tural commodities would be shift
ed to the Department of AgrL
culture.
6. A decontrol board, to be NAM
ed by the president. would super
wise removal of controls when
supply and demand are in bal
ance.
Continued subsidies were au-
thorized on copper, lead, zinc, tin,
some imported rubber, some
petroleum products, and sugar
and flour. But no subsidies would
be paid on such previously-sub-
| sidized items as meat and milk.

Make better use of meat drippings
for cooking and seasoning food.
Serve fewer fried foods. Save and
reuse fats and oils for cooking pur-
poses. Render excess fats on meats
and ave bacon grease for cooking
purposes. Salvage all fats that can
not be reused and turn them in to
your butcher or grocer. Go easy on
oils and salad dressings.
Careless measurements, hit-and-
miss methods, and unreliable recipes
all may contribute to fat waste. A
carelessly made cake that turns out
an unappetizing failure, for example,
is a waste not only of fat but OF
precious flour and sugar.
Remnants of cooking fat in cans
should be melted down and poured
out for use before the can is thrown
away. The last drop of oil should be
extracted from bottles. Pan drip
pings left from cooking meat should
be scraped out, and the part that has

ton in the use of wheat products
and a 20 per cent reduction in the
use of food fats and oils. We can all
help reach these goals. We are asked
to save one slice of bread or its
equivalent at every meal and to use
at least a half pound less of fats and
oils each month.
There are three ways we can help
save this bread.
One is to prevent waste of bread
and biscuit. 1t is estimated that five
per cent or one slice of every loaf
of bread every day goes into some
body's garbage.
Another way to save is to use less
bread and biscuit at each meal. Try
using potatoes in place Of bread. A
small serving will give you the same
food value as a slice of bread.
Cornbread has always been one of
the mainstays in Mississippi diets.
During this emergency, try using
it more often in the place of wheat
bread. Use oats more often, too. A
serving of oatmeal equals two slices
of bread in food value. Use fruits
and other desserts in place of pas
tries and cakes.
The third way to serve wheat is to
use less wheat cereals and other
wheat products.

Sobodillo For Gurden Insects

Home gardeners, a new control
for some of the garden bugs that
have been chewing up your vege-
.ables, is now available.
A 20 percent sabadilla dust will
give good control of the harlequin
cabbage bug, squash bug, leaf footed
bug, southern stink bug and blister
beetle. These are all bugs that have
been hard to control because of their
size and feeding habits.
This dust is made from seed of a
lily plant and is not poisonous. 1t is
not injurious to the plant. 1t acts as
a contact poison and will kill the
insect just as soon as it is busted

Nuke It With Mushed Potutoes

Mashed potatoes can p%inch-hit for
bread or flour in many familiar
dishes, thus saving wheat for starv-
ing people overseas and inciden-
tally providing variety in family
meals. The following recipes show
how to do it:
Shepherd Pie: For a pie to serve
6 people, allow about 2 cups of sea-
soned mashed potato. Fill a baking
dish about two-thirds full of hot
meat stew. (If too full, it will boil
over. Cover the stew with mashed
potato, leaving a few openings fol
steam to escape. Place in a hot over
(4U0 degrees Fahrenheit) for about
Is minutes until thee rust brown:
lightly.
Eggs Boxed In Potdto Cups: Shape
seasoned mashed potato into balls
using about one-third for each ball
Place balls on a creased baking
sheet. With a spoon press center o
ball to form into cup shape. Drop al
egg into each cup. Season with sal
and pepper. Bake in a slow over
1926 degrees) for 20 minutes, or un'
til egg is as firm as desired.
