hadn't told the truth about drink
ing and card playing at an all-night
party in the quarters of Chief Stew
ard Walter w. Rollins, colored en-
listed man on trial before Navy
general court-martial.
Rollins is being tried on theft,
gambling, ENLIGHTENMENT, miscon-
duct and sex charges that grew out
of an investigation of the party in
his basement quarters at the North
Severn officers Mess in the early
hours of last February 10.
Mrs. Thompson, prosecution
witness, admitted under cross

the truth at the earlier summary
court-martial trial of Musician IL
William R. Sima, jr., Naval Academy
bandsman.
Mrs. Evelyn Baker Richman of
defense counsel read to Mrs
Thompson excerpts from her tes-
timony at Sima's trial and asked
Did you tell the TRUTH"
No, did not" Mrs. Thompson
replied.
At the earlier trial, Mrs. Thomp-
son had testified that there was no
card playing at the party and said
she couldn't recall whether or not
Rollins had had a drink.
Today, under questioning by 1t
Comdr. William l.. P. Burke, CO.
judge advocate, she testified that
Rollins played cards for chips and
had a drink. But she added she
didn't know what he drank
Those present at the party, she
said, were herself; Sima, jr., and his
wife; 1t. William r. Sima, sr, sus-
pended Naval Academy band leader
and his wife, and Rollins.
Mrs. Thompson testified that the
party lasted from about 2 am
until about 1890 am.
Questioned about the card game,
Mrs Thompson said that Sima, ir.,
his father and Rollins played. She
said she didn't know what game
they were playing, but said they
were using chips
A written statement, said by the
prosecution to have been signed by
Rollins, admitting that Rollins had
taken bottle OF whisky each week
from the bar supplies of the club
was introduced yesterday.
Il have been in the habit of al
loting myself a bottle of whisky
once each week" the statement,
dated February 10, 1916, said.
1t added that in taking the
liquor, earnestly believed I was
quite within my rights"

Labor Law Backers .
wait Public Reaction
To Veto Of Case Bill
By the Associoisd Press

The drive for q broad new
labor law lost momentum today.
Advocates stood by to await either
public clamor or another major
strike crisis before renewing their
efforts to get long-range bill on
the statute books.
Leaders of the campaign reported
they are hopeful that a wave Of
public reaction" may develop against
President Humans veto of the Case
bill and the Houses refusal to over
ride him.
They said that apparently only if
such demand develops, or if a new
big tieup occurs, can they muster
the votes to guarantee enactment Of
a permanent regulatory measure
this year.
Both Parties Express Views.
These views were expressed by
both Democrat and Republican
spokesman for the bipartisan bloc
which supported the Case bill and
wants it or some similar legislation
enacted soon.
, Some of these legislators still ia
vor tying in the Case proposal with
Mr. Humans emergency strike con-
troll measure. which is awaiting
/ House Rules Committee action after
/ passing both chambers in varying
form 1t provides for Government
seizure of essential strike bound
plants and would require union
leaders to take affirmative action to
get their members back to work
Key Republicans are opposed to
this rider strategy at present, how
ever. They told reporters it would
give the President a chance to veto
both plans, and thus win favor OF
labor generally.
COP Would Delay Further Action
Many influential COP lawmakers
said they would just as soon DE-
nothing more this session, and Their
blame the President for any future
labor discord which may develop.
We gave the President bill
which would do a great deal to curk
industrial strife and he killed it, sc
what more can We do?" Represent
/ alive Allen, Republican. of Illinois
asserted in a typical comment.
/ Republicans obviously enjoyed one
phase of the fight-the reopening Of
the breach between the Northern
IF hn
cratic party.
Democratic Split Shown.
Yesterdays roll call clearly showed
the divergent Democratic views Re
publicans voted almost as a unit tt
override the Chief Executive, only
Is taking the other side. But the
Democrats were split with 118 voting
| to sustain the President and 9t
/ against him.
The total vote was 255 to override
and l35 against. A switch of five
votes for overriding would have pro-
v!ded the required two-thirds ma
jority.
In addition to accomplishing the
Democratic party cleavage, yeSter-
day S developments indicated tough
going ahaed for other ma jor admin
istration proposals.
Mr. Truman mentioned some OF
these plans in his message. Among
others. he called for enactment of
a new minimum wage law. The
House Labor Committee yesterday
approved a bill to boost the figure
from 40 to IS cents hourly. but it
now goes to the Rules Committee.
| And members of the rules group
said they would delay action on the
measure until they decide about Ia
Dor legislation policy A similar
fate appeared to be In store for some
other items on the administration
program.

The other morning, as packed my small daughters lunch box for school, I began thinking about the tremendous role waxed paper plays in our everyday life. Why, I'm sure I must use it a dozen different ways a day-to wrap lunch box sandwiches {. to keep food fresh when stored in the refrigerator and on my kitchen table when [ roll pie dough - to mention just a few!
 1 When I stopped at my grocer's that afternoon, I remarked about it to him, and he told me some very unusual facts. Did you know that waxed paper was used to keep products clean and sanitary as early as 1854? That enough waxed paper is used every year to circle the earth 500 times7 We'll, that figure really amazed me and I de- cided to find out how waxed paper is made. Perhaps you've been curious, too.
 Waxed paper is merely a thin sheet of paper which has been treated with purified parafin, a wax similar to that used in pre- serving jelly. To make it. rolls of 1 paper are fed over rollers into tanks of hot liquid paraffin. Then the paper goes through a squeez- ing process similar to that of your washing machine wringer, and passes into a cold water bath which sets the wax. I watched the whole procedure one afternoon and it was really fascinating.
 Every woman knows that waxed paper pays for itself in the foods it saves. Here's how it saves food and money for me: Whenever serve bread, crackers or cereals, always make sure I properly re, close the waxed paper wrapper. This helps keep them fresher longer, and in the long run saves me money. Try it. It takes but few minutes.

HOOVER TO LEAVE
FOR EUROPE TOUR
Former President Plans
Sunday Departure On
World Trip

WASHINGTON, March 12.-UH-
Former president Herbert Hoover,
honorary chairman of the famine
emergency committee, said Tues
day he will leave New York next
Sunday to visit every country in
Europe that is asking for food"
The tour is expected to require
five weeks. Mr.. Hoover did not
reveal his itinerary.
Americans have been asked to
Eat Less
eat more efficiently and to srlb-
stitute freely for scarce foods to
help meet the needs of starving
millions abroad.
Mr.. Hoover told a press confer
ence he thought approximately
5000, 900 tons of wheat might be
saved if South American countries
reduced their imports from the U.
S. and used their present SURPRISES
for export. ill.,,
Further Saving
He said this would be in ad-
dition to the estimated 1000, 900 tons
this country could save through
conservation measures announced
Monday by hte famine emergency
committee.
Mr.. Hoover said present bread
grain supplies now sin sight for
export total between 1000, 900
and 100000 tons. He estimated
the need at about 81, 900, 900 tons.
Big Problem
The problem is how to make up
this 100000 ton deficit and still
maintain present bread rations in
all famine-stricken countries" Mr..
Hoover said. Bread rations in
these countries cannot be reduced
by the IS per cent implied by the
present export shortage if
minimum health and welfare stand
ards are to be maintained.
Mr.. Hoover named five men who
will accompany him on his over
seas trip. Four of them-Hugh
Gibson, Maurice Pate, Perrin
Galpin and John Brown Mason
were food administrators abroad
