NINE AIR EXPLORERS
MISSING IN DESOLATE
SOUTH POLE REGIONS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-B
= The Navy disclosed Friday
night that nine Naval air *
plorers are missing in the des-
Olate region of the South Polar
ice belt, four days overdue ON
a scouting flight from the
Navy's sea-borne Antarctic ex-
petition.
First reports said only eight
men were aboard the missing
plane, a two-engined patrol
bomber, but this was later
found to be erroneous.
Garbled radio communica-
ton BACKED out reports on a
widespread and developing
search for the lost aircraft. A
faint clicking, too low to be de-
ciphered, was the only contact
late Friday between the Nays
receiving station here and the
expeditions flagship far down
at the bottom of the world.

Bilbo, attempts to swear in So new
members, and threats of cloture
(gag rule) If Southern Democrats
attempt to filibuster.
The chamber will meet again
at moor Saturday with the dead
lock still prevailing. The only gain.
before the fireworks over Bilbo
started, was the swearing In of
Sen. Elect Raymond E. Baldwin.
R. Conn.
The session Saturday will find:
l. Bilbo still not permitted to
take the oath of office for his third

2. The Republicans still unable
to organize the chamber, and a

rotary still in the presidents chair.

BUILDING PERMIT
GRANTED TO ACL
Installation OF Two Eleva-
tors Al Estimated Cost OF
$4,000 Reported

The only building permit of any
consequence issued by the city in
the year 1916 was the granting of
permission to the Atlantic Coast
Line to install two elevators in the
INNS co. building at a cost of
$4,000, city building Inspector Gil
bert F. Morton revealed yesterday.
Inc issuance of permits during
the first half of the current fiscal
year, however, showed a definite
upgrade over the number granted
IN a similar period the previous
year, he said as 600 were issued
from July l to December 81, 1916
as against 1000 the previous fiscal
year.
Outstanding among the permits
granted was one to the Carver
manufacturing company at 18th
ana Marstellar streets, with the
llnal cost for construction at that
sue estimated at around $200. 900.

Caswell have diminished so great
ly now that the sales are only
about 1,500 annually. Southport
also received a federal grant Of
$51, 900 to help finance the plant
expansion and spent some of its
own funds on generators and other
equipment, Mr.. Mintz said.
In response to his request for
relief, the agency asked more de-
tailed facts and figures, which the
attorney will supply within a
month, he said.
MI. Mintz conferred with Rep
resentative j. Bayard Clark Of
Fayetteville about the matter also.

NEWSPRINT WILL
REMAIN TIGHT
Publishers To Get Little Re
lief Before Summer,
Agency Declares

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-UH-
Newsprint supplies will remain
tight during the second quarter of
1s47 and perhaps longer, the Com
merce department said Friday.
Canadian and U. S. mills already
are operating at capacity and in
some cases on a s~even-day week.
No increase is in prospect for
another six months, the depart
ment's pulp and paper unit report
ed.
Department experts held out
some hope, however, that Canadian
imports could be increased by
some 15o, 900 to 200, 900 tons. The
total import in 1916 from Canada
and Newfoundland was about 81
173, 1913 tons.
Newsprint is being imported at
a rate of about 800, 900 tons a
month. Increased Canadian I'M
ports of $780, 900 to zoo, 900 tons still
would fall far short of meeting the
demands of American publishers.
The American Newspapers Pub
fishers association estimated that
for the first IL months of 1916 con-
sumption was 1000, 900 tons. De-
partment experts estimated that
the total for last year was 1885,
900 tons.
u. S. Production
U. S. production, as estimated
by the Newsprint Service bureau,
a trade association, was about 65,-
900 tons a month in 1916. The de-
partment estimated total domestic
production last year at from 49,
900 to IT'S, 900 tons.
The only new U. S. mill expect
ed to be in production will be in
Texas, the pulp and newsprint ex-
perts reported. It plans a pro-
duction rate of so, 900 tons a year,
but will not be operating until
No immediate price increase
over the $85 a ton basic rate Is
expected, the experts said. New
foundland producers, however, put
into effect on Jan. 1 increases of
81 and S. for the Southern publish
ers who use the Newfoundland
paper.

Lane disclosed that the late
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill reached an
agreement May %, 1943, where
by the United States would
build most of the allied mer-
chant shipping, with Britain
and other countries providing
needed merchant seamen.
Britain and other countries
used the American ships in the
common war effort without
charge. But after Dec. 1, 1915,
Britain agreed to pay existing
charter rates for the vessels
it continued to use.
Lane said he could not esti-
mate off hand how many
American merchant ships Brit
ain still had but he said he
knew it was over 200.

Save your babys empty strained

Leg Of Lamb

Most of us are pretty tired of
poultry, as result of the holidays,
so nice change for the coming
week end provided of course if you
can get it, is nice leg of lamb.
Leg of Lamb makes one of the
finest of roasts, yet is simple and
easy to prepare. / have always
been one that liked to remove the
skin, or fell, believing that this af-
fected the flavor, but best authori-
ties say that I am wrong and that
this thin papery covering should be
left on to hold the roast in shape as
well as to retain the juices-so leave
it on.
Simply wipe the meat with a
damp cloth, season with salt and
pepper, and either rub with a Glove
or garlic or tuck a couple of pieces
into the meat itself. Use a long
skewer to make small opening
and push the garlic way down near
the bone. Put the leg on a rack in
roasting pan with the fat-side
up. Don't cover and don't add wa
ter.
Roast in a slow oven, about 300
or 325 degrees, allowing about 35
minutes per pound for well-done
lamb.

Now that the hustle and hustle OF
the holiday season is over and all
our New Year resolutions tucked
away, there is a possibility that
some of you-like l have-may have
pledged that you will try to be bet
ter homemakers in the New Year
particularly as regards cooking.
With this thought in mind, l have
selected a list of new cook books
that you might be interested in.
If you are in the market to buy one,
you will probably find them on the
shelves of your favorite bookstore,
or if you are interested in looking
them over, you will perhaps find
them on the shelves of the local
library, now, or in the near future.
The famous Boston Cooking
School Cook Book" by Fannie Mer-
RITZ almer, has been completely re-
vised for the seventh time. 1t has
been entirely reset, combining log
ical arrangement with attractive
ness of form and Typography. New
recipes have been added and all
have been tested and retested Old
out of date ones have been discard
ed, with a total of over 5000 recipes
left. Whether you are an exper-
fenced hand>in the kitchen, or a new
bride just starting out you will find
this edition more than worthwhile.
Recipes Out of Bilibid" were col
lected by Col. Halstead c. Fowler,
u. S, A, and compiled and tested by
Dorothy Wagner. While not a COM
plete cook book, it does contain a
collection of cherished recipes of
the Allied soldiers imprisoned for
three years in Bilibid who, to while
away the time, reminisced about
their favorite foods. The book con-
tains Welsh, Scottish, Yorkshire,
Mexican and Pennsylvania Dutch
dishes, besides many others, and the
story behind the recipes makes
them of special interest.
How Mama Could Cook" by
Dorothy Malone ((Mamas daughter
in the book is spiced with some of
Mama's career. The author uses
selected recipes that established
Mamas culinary art-recipes that in
reality are just plain cooking"
ones that an inexperienced cook
can follow, and you will enjoy the
comparisons of Mama's day and to-
day.
For my own use l have found
'The Joy of Cooking by Irma S.

thing one could wish to have in a
