Luckman indicated no change
is intended in the committees
request that Americans do with
out eggs and poultry on Thurs
day.
But he acknowledged that
there are two schools of
thought" as to whether much
grain is saved by not eating
chickens. Some DIRECTORS have
insisted that curtailment of
chicken consumption would lead
farmers to hold the fowls off
the market and continue to feed
them grain.
Seek New Ideas
ANY time we can come up
with a better and faster way of
saving grain, the committee will
be the first to adopt it," Luck
man said.
Luckman issued a statement
that the campaign to conserve
100, 600, 900 bushels of grain by
mid-1948 is "beginning to hit it's
stride" He said he expects a
definite commitment within a
day or two from the brewers
involving additional conserva-
ton They recently agreed to
discontinue use Of wheat and
table grades of rice.
Luckman said the wheat-rice
offer did not 60 far enough. He
has observed that they use
large quantities of other grains.
"a further step must involve
some reduction in actual pro-
duction to accomplish a reason
ably substantial cut in the total
use of grain" he contended
Europe's winter needs - and
what Americans and their Con-
gress might do about it - was a
prime topic elsewhere in the
capital.
Harold E. Stassen said that
the average American should
reduce his diet by Is per cent
and that Congress should come
together Immediately to act on
European economic issues. He

British Middle Eastern experts
saw a greater danger from Arab

Jerusalem than from any joint
military moves by the armed
forces of the Arab governments.

Iraq closely, where a rally of

ministration officials. in confer
ences with the committee: had
agreed to give thirty-day notice
on the sale of Army camps so
that veterans could organize
corporations and purchase the
potential housing with one hun
bred per cent financing by the
RFC.
Dillon Myer, head of the Pub
lie Housing Authority, also told
the committee of his agency's
plans for selling 119, 600 perma-
nent war housing units, with
first preference to veterans.
The Hillcrest units at Whining
ton are among 10000 others be-
ing withheld at the request of
cities which wish to use them
as low-rent developments for
low-income groups. AS the six
other points in their program,
the VFW leaders proposed:
!. That the federal govern
ment make home loans directly
to veterans who cannot get fl
nancing from a private bank.
2. That the federal govern
ment build a million units of
housing to be rented at not
more than fifty dollars a month,
with preference to veterans.
3. That investments Of private
capital in multi-unit housing de-
velopments be encouraged by
writing half the cost off the tax
books within five years.
4. That Congress pass the
Taft = Ellender : Wagner long
range housing bill, with a pro-
viso that all public housing
units be sold within fifteen
years.
5. That exports of building
materials be banned until the
housing shortage is eased.
6. That local VFW posts
make on-the~spot surveys to
help eliminate restrictive prac-
tees of builders and labor I'M
ions which are blocking the use
of pre-fabricated housing.
Noble disclosed that the 584-
unit Lake Forest housing prof.
&c. at Wilmington, which was
purchased by a veterans coop
erative there, will be used by
the VFW as a model to demon
strate how veterans can buy
government-owned property in
large quantities.
The VFW will distribute ten
thousand copies of a brochure
showing how the Wilmington
veterans bought the Lake For
est property for 1879, 900 with
forty years to repay at three
and a half per cent interest,
and ninety-five per cent FILA
insurance.
The Housing committee will
meet again in Washington when
Congress reconvenes. Noble,
who went home tonight, is to
testify before a Congressional
committee on housing early
next year.

was conceived as a means of

$3.50 pounds of turkey steaks ali
has been marketed successfully

went to Baltimore, Richmond,
Philadelphia and many other
cities outside the state. Whether
the steaks will be placed on the
market again depends on
whether there is another surplus
of males.
Another interesting success
has been the freezing of thir-
teen tons of blueberries placed
in the plant when the market
dropped and held for more prof

were sold just last week at a
substantial profit over the mar
ket price at the time the ber-

Quakers come from behind to
Snare Edge on Championship
Series

The opening championship
game of a two out OF three series
was played last Saturday evening
at New Castle. between Sa-
lem and New Castle, winners of
the Western and Eastern Divi-
sion play-off berths. respective
ly.
The game was played before u
good sized crowd OF spectators,
representing many clubs of the
Association. The strength of
these two teams had been tested
just two weeks previous when
New Castle handed Salem its
first defeat of the regular season
and enabled the Pa. boys to a
spot in the play-offs.
New Castle started with an
early spurt to gain a lead on Sa-
lem in the first few moments oi
play. Led by their Captain Ohm
Binder, they scored the first few
goals and led Salem, at the first
quarter Is to 10. Salem. through
the second quarter, played steadi-
ly until the score was tied when
the half ended. II to 2l.
The third quarter was played
rather loosely but Salem forged
ahead to gain a 35 to 81 lead and
from then on were never headed
and easily gained the first victory
and the edge on the Play-Otf Sc
r-ies. The entire game was played
rather slow. with only a few mo-
ments of excitement. The Salem
boys found it hard to get started
during the first half. but played
better ball throughout the sec
ond half of the game. New Castle
played good ball during the first
quarter and parts OF the second
hall.
The captain OF the Salem team,
Mike Linder, was high point man
for the evening with Is points.
George Miller led the New Cas-
