Congress May Return With
More Union-C urbiing Ideas

WASHINGTON, July q - () -
Congress may come back next win
ter with more ideas for curbs on
unions after a series of hearings
around the country this summer.
With an eye to any conditions
that may feel require correcting,
various House labor subcommittee
will trek from coast to coast.
They plan to peer into union &C
tivities in such fields as music, the
movies, radio, television, other en-
tertainment, food handling and con-
struction.
More studies and hearings are
on the docket Of a Senate-House
committee set up to keep watch on
labor problems and the operation
of the new Taft-Hartley act.
Chairman Hartley GRIND of the
House labor committee told a re-
porter:
Some legislation may result
from all these hearings and studies.
But I have my doubts of passage
of any stiff labor bill in a presi-
Dental election year."
But Hartley has promised that il
anything proves to be wrong with
the Taft-Hartley act, he will be the
first to propose changes.
One proposed change already is
awaiting consideration in Jan
uary. Just before adjourn
adjournment yesterday, Rep. Keat-
ing (R-NY) of the House judiciary
committee introduced a bill pro
posing a specific declaration by
Congress that it is permissible for
a corporation or a union to pub
fish a newspaper or magazine.
Heating told the House that some
union officials believe the langu-
age of the labor laws ban of union
expenditures" for political pur-
poses might affect their publica-
ton of newspapers and magazines.
Hartley and Chairman Taft CR-
Ohio of the Senate labor commit
tee r. the top men on the new,
joint watchdog committee.
Hartley said the committee ex-
poets to consider such things as:
The advisability of forbidding in

In addition, Hartley said, the

ed to cacao by the Spanish, and
this was later corrupted to cocoa.
Chocolate soon became a favor
tie drink in Europe. Not until 1928
was it discovered that candy
could be made from it. In that
year a Dutch manufacturer decid-
ed that the chocolate drink would
be improved if some Of the ma
tural fat, or cocoa BUTTER" were
taken out. After pressing the but
ter out of the roasted beans, he
experimental further, and found
that, by mixing a limited amount
of the butter and some sugar with
the dry cocoa, and cooking the
mixture, he could get a solid SUBJ
stance that was good to eat. This
was the beginning of chocolate
candy.
Shortly after the American Civil
War, Daniel Peter of Switzerland

and milk and sugar, and made

a player makes the mistake OF
doubling a contract that he feels
sure he can defeat, and by MS
douhle he drives the opponents m
to a better spot.
East should have known thai
West did not have many hearts.
Not vulnerable, West had offered
no support when East bid two
hearts, and then four hearts. From
the bidding, the missing king Of
hearts undoubtedly was in the
South hand.
Therefore, the double of SIX
spades was very unwise, and the
double of six no trump was ar
indication of anger on the part Of
East, rather than ability to bea1
the contract.
Experts say. don't double a slam
contract unless you are certain tnal
you can defeat any other CONTRACT
the opponents may run to.

THE STORY OF CHOCOLATE

Cocoa, Or chocolate, was given

is difficult for most of US to ina
CINE a world in which there was
no chocolate candy, chocolate
pies, ruddings. cakes and drinks.
Yet such vas the state OF Europe
until the year 1928.
In that year Cortez, the con-
queror of Mexico, introduced into
Spain a delicious beverage, made
from crushed cacahoatl beans,
which he had enjoyed at the court
of Montezuma, the Aztec Emper-
or. This drink was called choco-
latl by the Aztecs. The name OF
the bean, cacahoatl, was shorten.

like shelled almonds, only a little
larger. These beans were used as
money by the Aztecs, who car
ried them in little bags, each
valued according to the number
of beans it contained.
When the pods are ripe, they
are cut from the trees. The pulp
and beans are scooped out and
put in tanks or spread on banana
leaves or coconut mating to fer
ment until the pulp has disap-
peared and certain changes have
taken place in the beans. They
are then dried in the hot sun,
packed INTO bags and shipped to
the markets of the world.

plants r in the United States.
In these plants, the beans are
roasted in great revolving ovens.
When they have been roasted just
long enough they are taken out
and rapidly cooled.
