of the Capone clan hurried in from
Mercer, Wis, and Chicago.
Secrecy continued to shroud the
Capone villa. While sleek autos, filled
with mysterious characters, whizzed
in and out of the private grounds,
reporters and photogs waited outside
to get their information secondhand.
Capone had not appeared in public
since 194l and rumors persisted
that paresis had left him with the
mind of 12-year-old. On the other
hand, it was said that his supposed
debility was blind, that he was

FOOD:
IEnen1y's Need

Declaring that the U. S. could not
afford to permit the American flag
to fly over a gigantic Buchenwald,
former President Herbert Hoover
undertook another survey Of food
needs In the u. S. and British occu-
patton zones in Germany.
In addition to providing for es-
'sential German relief, Hoover's jun
ket was aimed at making the reich
as self-supporting in food needs as
possible. Improvement in the food
situation would lead to reduction
in present U. S. relief costs Of 300
million dollars annually. The former
president had the assistance Of two
food experts on his tour, being &C.
companied by DR.. Dennis Fitzger-
aid, chairman Of the international
emergency food council, and former
Ambassador Hugh Gibson, who aid
ed him in World War I relief work.
At the same time that Hoover
headed westward, Hallam Tuck, his
associate on the famine study tour
of last spring, headed eastward to
survey food conditions in Japan, Ko-
rea and the Ryukyus. Tuck also
will be concerned with the long-as
well as short-range requirements of
those Asiatic countries in an effort
to boost their food output.

PICKLES:

Each American will have about 81
pickles coming to him this year, &C.
cording to National Pickle Packers
association.
The 1916 crop of 1O,046, 900 bushels
of cucumbers for pickles was ex-
pected to be great enough to meet
the new, growing demand for
pickles, according to the packers.
An estimated 1921, $40, 900 pickles
OF all varieties will be produced.
Laid end to end the pickles would

INDIANS:

After 100 years of federal supervi-

freed if congress acts favorably on a
proposal of Senator LANCER (Rep., N.
d. to abolish the office of Indian
affairs in the interest of economy.
Five other members of the SEN
ate's civil service committee backed
Langer's measure. Senator Chavez
(Dem., New Mex.) declared that the
Indian sought no special favors from
the U. S. but only wanted education
al opportunities, sanitation, water
and land of his own. Senator Ecton
(Rep., Mont.) backed Chavez state
ment, asserting that progressive In
dams chaffed under the need to OBJ
tain permission for productive ex-
penditures.
Ecton also agreed with LANCER
that the government would have to
provide for aged Indians, probably
through the social security act. In
the meantime, Ecton urged that
younger Indians be educated to as
sumo full citizenship on reaching 81

When Bob Hope or Henry Morgan

the house and senate, asking them
their favorite jokes. He was del

In an effort to prevent serious

Anderson disclosed the move in

to check future slumps affecting

|PORTAL:
Tax Relief

The burden of portal to portal
back pay will largely be shouldereo
by Uncle Sam when, and II, union
members are awarded their SUD-
stantial claims against industry as
result Of Secretary Of the Treas
ury Snyder's announcement una.
such OUTLAWS are deductible against
taxes levied in the years affected.
Because portal payments to Work-
ers will be liable to taxation, now
ever, the U. S. stands to recover
some of the refunds in personal IN
come taxes. In many instances, the
portal claims run into hundreds Oh
dollars per worker, leaving them
open to a heavy bite under the high
wartime rates.
Under Snyder's ruling that indus
try could claim credits on taxes
paid in the years for which portal
demands were granted, companies
would be able to take advantage OF
high rates and excess profits IevleS
of the war years. At the same time,
they would be entitled to per
cent interest on the money collect
ed from them to cover their tax

COP congressional investigators
prepared to dig deep into war ex-

Republican majority in 16 years.

effort Of the Democrats to transfer

The watchdog over efficiency of
the war effort under President Tru-
man while he was still senator from

committee widened its scope under
Senator Mead Dem., N. W to
probe irregularities in munitions
contracts. In the wake Of disclosures
of the close relations existing be-
tween congressman and army Of
ficers with war contractors, the
COP voiced its determination to dig
deeper into wartime dealings.
Not always in favor during the
liberal New Deal administration, the

Of them BOTH
Rammed-earth, according to Mer-
rill, is term describing both the
material and the process Of wall
building by which earth is tamped
into the shape Of wall or building
block. In essence, a compressed
block or section of earth will, when
tamped, assume the shape of the
form into which it is pressed and,
when the moisture dries out, harden
into a permanent shape suitable
for use as building material"
The reasons set forth by Merrill
as to why, if this method Of building
is so good it has not been widely
adopted, are logical: One-there's no
money in it, except the money
saved by the builder. Two-con-
trary to the impression among sell
ers of building materials, Merrill in
sists it would help rather than hurt
their business. The man who builds

any other kind. And he has to buy
everything-foor, roofing, plumbing
everything in fact except the
walls, which are free except for the
cost Of the forms and the tamping
Merrills thesis is that anyone
willing to acquire the rudimentary
knowledge Of building, can build a

however, it may secure modificatio

Poland served notice of itsrde-
termination to permanently affix the
new territory at the deputy 1or-
eien ministers meeting in London,
called to lay the groundwork for the
Big Four conference in Moscow IN
March to formulate German
treaty. Since given control OF the
territory at Potsdam, the Poles said
they have moved 1880 Germans
out and 100000 Poles in.
Nub of the disagreement lies In
the Poles, contention that they were
led to understand they were given
full sway over the territory at Pots
dam. The U. S., on the other hand,
holds that they were merely given
temporary administrative control,
with the question of Germany's final
postwar borders to be settled at q

the Poles have a good chance to re-
tain most OF the territory.

African Firearms

Since the arrival of Europeans
toward the end of the 18th century,
firearms have become known to
African Negroes but have never
been very commonly used. The
usual form of firearm is the muz-
zle-loading gun which is charged
with fragments Of scrap iron OBJ
tanned from European sources. The
marvel is that man can fire such
a device and yet live. There is a
terrific recoil, the barrel may break
away from the stock, and on the
whole it seems more dangerous for
the warrior than for the person he
aims at.
