Canned Vegetable Soups
 Thin, watery, bitter, sour metallic, musty-these were some of the ad- jectives applied to vegetarian soups by Consumers Unions aste-testing panel. Vegetable soups made with beef or beef stock were considered tastier by the panel, which sampled "A brands of canned vegetable soups. Other find ings were that ready-to-serve soups were more costly than the condensed variety and that there was range in the cost of 7-ounce serving from Sc to 7c. The vegetable content varied widely with one brand containing only four vegetables, while the largest num- Der observed in any brand was Y.
 The two good vegetable soups ac- cording to GU were Campbell's Con- densed Vegetable Beef Soup, 17c, and Heinz Condensed Beef Soup with Vegetables, 17c.

While Consumers Unions gardening consultant rated thirty eight 2. 4-D preparations as Acceptable, the least expensive in terms of actual, 2, AID content cost about $2.75 per pound of active in- gredient, the most expensive cost over $20 for an equal amount.
 Users are cautioned by the GU tC buy a separate sprayer and to keep ii just for 2, AID. This chemical is prac- tically impossible to wash out com plete1y and even a minute quantity left in the sprayer might be enough to kill valuable plants.

Truman Ignores .Labor's Appeals
 On Portal Bill

WASHINGTON (LPA) = Presi- dent Truman took the recommends tions of his cabinet and ignored the advice of organized labor last week in signing the anti-portal pay bill
 The cabinet approved eight to one, with Labor Secretary Schwellenbach as the lone dissent, legislation which labor and liberal Congressmen con- tended would not only ban portal suits but would also undermine many of the protective provisions of the Wage Hour, Walsh-Hea1y and Bacon-Davis Acts.
 Truman's advisers, it was under stood, argued that enactment of this portal bill would provide greater jus tifcation for veto of the Taft-Hart- ley anti-labor bill. As a face-saving gesture they had Truman incorporate in his message to Congress an appeal for passage of a 65c minimum wage bill.
