May Set Up
Claims Board
In Canada
Commission TO Probe
japanese Property Sales
During War
New Canadian Dispateh)


WINNIPEG. Manitoba, March
"A claims comm ssion may be
set up to deal with japanese pro-
perty sold by the Custodian dur
ing the war.
The Secretary of State, Hon.
Colin Gibson. under heavy ques-
tioning from opposition members,
told the House of Commons on
Feb. Is, that a commission may
be set up to review japanese pro-
perty sales as had been done in
the case of certain properties
owned by a Ukranian organiza-
lion.
The minister said he could not
give details since no decision had
been made, but that the question
was being studied by the cabinet.
ut is difficult to know just
yet the extent and number of
the claims and what would be,
the best way Of handling them,
hut that matter is receiving
consideration" the minister
said.
The Custodian problem as far
as Japanese Canadians are con-
cerned goes back to 1899 when
trading with the enemy reglila-
tons were passed under the War
Measures Act The regulations
gave the government wide powers
over such matters as enemy prop
erty. trading with the enemy, etc,
and much of this authority was
in the hands of the Custodian.
But wartime powers are due to
expire on the 3lst of this month
and the government still feels the
need of continuing many of these
powers in order to complete a
considerable amount of unfinished
business left after the war. Bill
% is intended to continue the re-
CURED regulations dealing with
cneHly property ctC'
Thus the Secretary of state on
Feb lS asked parliament's per-
mission, in the form of resolu-
ton. To introduce Bill % to pro-
vide for the continuance of the
revised regulations respecting
trading with the enemy and
touched off the attack against the
Custodian.
Why had the CuStodlans office
made no reports? Why was 1t so
secretive? Where did it get the
money to continue operations
without grants from the Parlia-
ment2 What kind of a set-up was
proposed for the compensation on
japanese property? Did the Gus
todian handle properties belong
ing to Canadian citizens?
CCF leader VI. J. COldwelI
and -. VI. Fleming (PC-TO-
ronto) spcarheaded the attack.
John Bracken joined the attack
hut without mentioning the
Japanese Canadians.
The Secretary of State could
not supply satisfactory answers
to all the questions, but promised
that he would try TO give all pos
shlc Information on the wartime
operations of the Custodian be-
fore Bill % comes up for second
reading
Then the Bill was given its first
reading The real debate on the
measure and the quest on of
japanese property would take
place on the second reading.

USS to Extend
Services For
Yank Seamen
New Program Coils For
Continuance of Over
secs Facilities

In a move designed to oper-
ate worldwide services for
American seamen at the most
effective peacetime level, the
United Seamen's Service to-
day announced a program un-
der which USS facilities for
seamen will be maintained in
10 overseas and 10 domestic
ports. Future plans of, the
national organization were
reported today by Kenneth
Fisher, chairman of the Sc
attic Port Area Committee,
upon word received from New
York. In Seattle, the USS OPP
crates as a Red Feather Ser
vice of the Community Chest.
The plan includes the continu-
ance of USS services in Seattle,
where the organization has pro-
vided seamen with a program of
recreation and personal service
since 1913 Housing facilities were
also provided until recently.
In addition to the program in
Seattle, United Seamens Service
will continue to serve Seamen
from this area in the % other
ports in the United States and
abroad where it's operations are
maintained.
Fisher said that the new peace
time pattern of USS operations
throughout the country had been
drafted by a subcommittee of the
national executive committee at
ter careful study and considera-
ton of the preferences of seamen,
shipping industry executives, un-
ion leadership. government and
the public-all of which are re-
presented in the USS organiza-
ton.
The new plan, according to
Fisher, will emphasize the follow
ing:
l. Maintenance and possible ex-
pansion of the present number of
USS overseas services which are
of first Importance because no
other agency is on hand to pro-
vide for American seamen ashore
in foreign ports. USS clubs and
facilities will continue in Alex
andria, Antwerp, Aruba, Balboa,
Bremerhaven, Caripito, Cristobal.
Genoa, Honolulu, LIE Havre, Liver
pool, London, Marselle, Puerto de
la Cruz, San Juan, Shanghai Sgd
ney, and Yokohama.
In addition. long-standing re-
quests for establishment of USS
services in Bremen, Germany;
Rouen, France; Santos, Brazil;
and Los Peidras, Venezuela, will
now be given consideration.
2. Continuance of a medical and
health education program for sea-
men, including the operation of a
convalescent rest center for men
of the American Merchant Marine
at Gladstone, N. ]. Eventual plans
call for three USS rest center
hn
and Gulf coasts.
3. A personal service program
concentrating on consultation and
referral assistance to seamen in
personal and family problems but
without financial assistance. The
discontinuance of loans and grants
"a wartime service-is dictated
by fund limitations.
4. Operations of USS facilities
in five East Coast ports within
the United States-Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Norfolk; in three Gulf ports
Mobile, New Orleans and Calves
ton; and in two West Coast ports
San Francisco and. Seattle These
ports were selected on the basis
of greatest current need from the
standpoint of the number of sea-
men and ships visiting the ports
and the total community facili-
ties available
Tn making knoxuY fha daoic;op
to continue USS services in this
port, Mr.. Fisher pointed out that

Fresh Pork Suusoge
Better Without Sult

Atlanta, Ga, (SpeciaI)-Now that
'hog kinnin' time" has come to
Dixie, the proper methods OF pre-
serving fresh frozen pork sausage
is up as one of the major topics OF
discussion on the agenda-and the
Army says no salt.
Tests conducted at the Quarter

that sausage without salt keeps bet
ter than the same product prepared
with salt, according to records at
Headquarters, Seventh Army.
Three lots of sausage from the
same initial stock were identically
prepared except for seasoning IN
| gradients. One lot was seasoned with
sage, pepper, sugar and salt. An
other contained sage, pepper and
sugar only, and a third contained
no seasoning. Samples were pre-
pared from all lots, frozen at zero
degrees, placed in storage at that
temperature, and every 80 days por-
tons were removed from each lot
and submitted to chemical as well as
taste tests.
At the end of three months it was
noted that the sausage which con-
tanned salt had deteriorated in ap-
pearance, flavor and odor. The tests

Letter From Subscriber
On Pecan Culture
12-21-36

MISS f1aDel BrannOn
Lexington, Miss.
Dear Miss Hazel:
/ am very much interested in
pecan culture and you can publish
this or not. If you do, rather you
wouldn't use my name.
There are thousands Of young
pecan trees going to waste around
farms where they have some old
trees. Jaybirds scatter them.
They can be grated where they
are, moved to a more suitable place,
or given to the neighbors.
If transplanted, dig a hole three
feet wide and three feet deep, the
larger the better; fill this hole with
good top soil and / think would be
best to let a rain settle it before
planting the tree.
When you dig the tree up, save
as many roots as possible and leave
the tap root two feet or more. Cut
the top off about eight feet and
don't leave a limb.
The gratis can be bought from
most any nursery. I get mine from
Bass Pecan Co., Lumberton.
The Agriculture Dept. prints a
sheet on how to graft and save your
own gratis. It's very simle and in
teresting work. Plant the trees about
70 feet apart and you al graft them
in a few years. The trees seem to
grow fine in a cotton field. 1t pays
to fertilize the old trees.
Yours respectfully,
(Signed) A SUBSCRIBER.
