Restaurants in Italy Offering
Varied Menus, Large Servings
BY Constantine Brown
Stor Foreign Affairs Analyst

ROME (By MaiD Kind friends
in America arranged to have q
large box containing canned butter
bacon. powdered eggs, milk and
chocolate bars waiting for me on
my. arrival here, so that I would
not suffer too much from hunger
during my stay in Italy.
I turned the food box over to a
group of Italian intellectuals who
appreciated 1t very much. Because
of the collapse of the lire their In
comes had dWindled to almost
nothing and they needed badly the
food I had received from the United
States.
But I found that the restaurants
in Rome had more food and in
larger quantities than almost any
city I had seen yet. There are
literally hundreds of pastry shops
throughout the city where cakes
filled with chocolate and chestnut
cream, topped with whipped cream,
are sold at high prices In local
currency, but low prices In dollars.
The restaurants offer the most
varied menus and the servings are
larger than many eating places in
the United States. There is luscious
crystallized fruit in the windows
of the candy stores, delicacy
which we in the United States had
to give up after the war broke
ol1t heca1Ise Of the short a 90 of Sl1par
There is a great variety of sweet
meats and chocolates Of all kinds
in the numerous speciality shops.

Court Holds Riders
Assume Injury Risk pa.
In 1ip|!s;yl i; ! Driving J Case,

A passenger who rides voluntarily
in an automobile with a driver
known to have been drinking as
sumes the risk of being injured in
an accident, the Court Of Appeals
held in an opinion read yesterday.
The court reversed an 5000
award made previously in a suit In
District Court and sent the case back
for retrial.
Mrs. Gertrude M. Eaton Of the
Westchester Apartments brought
suit against Mrs. Hazel Weber, 1870
Brandywine street NV, for injuries
received while she was riding In the
latter's automobile February 20,
1914. Mrs. Weber was in Florida
but her husband, Herbert E. Weber,
using his wife,s car, had called for
Mrs. Eaton at the Westchester to
take her to social function.
Jury Instruction Inadequate.
At the District Court trial, two
policemen testified Mr.. Weber said
he had taken two drinks shortly
before a collision between the auto
mobile and two streetcars. In the
suit which followed, the verdict was
against Mrs. Weber. She ap-
pealed, contending the trial court
erred in refusing to instruct the
jury on contributory negligence,
assumed risk and unavoidable &C
cident.
Justice Wilbur K. Miller. writing
yesterdays appellate decision, said !:
"All authorities would agree that If
Mrs. Eaton accompanied Weber
when she knew Of his drinking and
was injured through negligence on
his part brought about by the alco-

hol he had taken, she assumed the
risk when she voluntarily rode with
him. It was error not to instruct
the jury to that effect"
Ruling Bars Tax Deduction.
In another decision yesterday, the
court held that a mans living, ex-
penses while he is carrying on his
business at the regular place are
personal, not business expenses, and
cannot be deducted on income tax
returns.
John l.. York, Office of Price Ad-
ministration attorney, left Atlanta,
Ca, in September, 1912, to take a
job here. in the Federal Works
Agency. In February. 1912, when he
found place for his family to live,
be brought them here.
Mr.. York then claimed 1912 in
come tax deductions for the cost Of
his meals and lodging here before
his family came and for the cost
Of moving them here.
The Tax Court had denied him
exemption on both claims, and the
appeals court affirmed this finding.

American Newsman
On Palestine Ship
Ordered Deported
BY the Associated Press

JERUSALEM, Mar. 11.-An Amer.
lean free lance newspaperman anc
two French citizens, who arrived
Saturday on ship with 600 Jewish
refugees without immigration GER
tif1cates, were ordered deported ION
the first available shop" by the
Palestine government today.
The three were Albert L. Hirsch-
koff, who gave his address as
Brooklyn, N. Y: Henrietta Golden
berg, II, French Jewess, and
jacques Meyer, representative of
the Paris Presse. They arrived
aboard the Abril (Ben Hecht).
Hirschkoff and 20 American sea-
men from the Abril were arraigned
before magistrates court in Haifa
yesterday and charged with violat-
ing Palestine immigration laws by
bringing uncertified immigrants to
Palestine. The seamen were or
dered detained pending trial in two
weeks.
4IIC AA1CIlCdI ScdlIlSIl were GTduS-
ferred today under heavy guard by
police and British airborne troops
from Haifa jail to a prison fortress
across the bay at Acre.
Land Mines, Grenades Heard.
Land mines and hand grenades
blasted the silence of Jerusalem last
night, but although substantial num-
bers Of British troops searched the
northeast section of the city, they
were unable to discover the exact
locale OF the explosions. ...s,
An army statement said, however
that it was possible the Jewish i'm
derground might not have been re-
sponsible for the. blasts, which were
followed by the rattle of rifle fire.
An unofficial report said one Jew
was killed earlier in the evening
while attempting to break the cur
few in the Jewish Mea Shearim Sec
ton of the city, which is under
martial law,

The cafes are as crowded as in pre-
war days. For a small additional
charge generous helping fo1
whipped cream tops your cup OF
"cafe expresso"-an especially strong
brew.
I was amazed at this expenditure
OF sugar and white flour in a re-
portedly starving city. When ]
asked where the sugar came from
I was told that 1t was part of large
quantities stolen from American
Army stores and from UNRRA
stocks. 1t found its way into the
black market, where it was pur-
chased by dealers who make hand
some profits producing luxurious
delicacies for the palate.
But it would be unfair to draw
the conclusion from the food dis
play In Rome and other large
Italian cities that the Italian people
have plenty to eat. The food situ-
alton, for those who do not operate
any particular racket in the black
market, could hardly be worse. This
applies principally to the middle
classes and the industrial workers.
For thin layer of the popula-
ton, represented by the newly rich
and the foreign contingent, there
are enough luxuries to permit them
to live in high style. But the less
fortunate, that is to say the bulk
of the city inhabitants, who have to
live on salaries or wages paid in
lire, have as hard q time as the
French.

Stewart Trial Opens
On Charge Of Perjury
In Sedifion Inquiry

Douglas M. Stewart, former edi-
tor Of Scribner,s Commentator
magazine, indicted on = charge Of
perjury before the District grand
jury, went on trial in District Court
today.
Chief Justice Bolitha ]. Laws,
presiding at the trial, questioned
prospective jurors on their racial
background, their views on public
events and even on their reading
habits. Despite the detailed ques-
tioning, no prospective jurors were
disqualified by noon.
Justice Laws asked II the pros
pective jurors subscribe to the New
Masses, the Daily Worker, the Chi
cago Sun, the New York Post, PM
or Jewish Life; If they read COM
ments of o. John Rogge, former
Justice Department official who In
vestigated the mass sedition case,
out of which the Stewart case arose.
He asked also whether they listen
to radio broadcasts by Walter VIM
chel and Drew Pearson. A dozen
said they did but could not recall
any details.
Chief Justice Laws also asked
whether any members Of the panel
would be prejudiced in believing
some Government witnesses who
are Germans. He also asked whether
any of them had had difficulties
with the Federal Government or be-
longed to the German-American
Bund, or to the Communist Party.
The Government plans to call
three Germans in the case, Hans
Thomson, former German Charge
ld'Afaires here; Baron Herbert Won
Strempel, former first secretary to
the German Embassy, and Hans
Borchers, German Consul General
in New York for more than 10 years
before the war. They were brought
here recently from Germany.
Stewart is charged with giving
false testimony before a grand jury,
whose indictments led to the mass
sedition trial here in 1914. The ac-
|cusation says he perjured himself
in declaring he found $4,000 in his
Lake Geneva (Wis.) home and did
not know where the money came
from. Justice Laws told the jurors,
in identifying the case for them,
that the Government claims Stewart
received the $4,000 from Baron Won
Strempel in the Hotel Pennsylvania
in New York in 1941 to finance
publication.
Representing Stewart are Attor-
neys Alfons B. Landa, Warren E.
Magee and Seth Richardson. Ap-
pearing for the Government are
John S. Pratt and Donald Ander-
son, special assistants to the Attor-
ney General, and Assistant United
States Attorney Charles B. Murray.

cilities at the new hospital for

field In Washington today is for
more nurses" he said. IF only we
could get them we could open all
our beds that we have had to close
because Of lack of nurses. It Is a

hospitals are pitifully understaffed.
At Gallinger Hospital, for example,
we have about nurse to every IL
patients.
1T should be one to every three
or four patients. he added. $50 far
we have been lucky that we have
had no serious consequences from
this shortage-the health record of
the District has even improved from

well with shortage, think what we
could do If we had enough nurses"
