 Final Settlement

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2l-lR- Nathan P. Feinsinger, ace trouble shooter for the Labor Department, went into contract talks at con- ference with two CIO unions and the Waterfront Employers today in an attempt to transform the Pa cific Coast maritime truce into an early final settlement.

 Contracts covering the two re- maining unions, the CIO Marine Cooks and Stewards and the Amer ican Communications Association (the radio operators) are expected in general to parallel those signed with East coast unions, including a five percent wage raise and nine paid holidays year.

SAYS U. 5. OIL TO RUSSIA IS 0NiY NORMAL
Congress Shows Concern Over Large Petroleum
 Shipments to Siberia

WASHINGTON, June 2l-IR- Thomas E. Blaisdell, Chief of the Commerce Departments Office of Internal Trade, told Congress to- day that current United States oil shipments to Russia are normal.
 Blaisdell was called to testify be- fore a House Armed Service Sub committee after Chairman Shafer (R- -Mich.) said he was concerned over the oil shipments in the face of reported petroleum shortage here.
 There is nothing unuHal about shipment of an estimated half a million barrels of petroleum prod ucts to Siberia from West Coast ports. This is a normal seasonal movement. The volume concerned is not of huge magnitude" Blais- dell testified.
 Shafer interrupted to say there was nothing unusual about sending scrap iron and oil to Japan in the 1930's either
 |, James H. Mayes, Commerce De- partment petroleum expert, said half a million barrels of petroleum were exported during May, but he did not know how much of it went to Russia Mayes said the Soviet received 72000. barrels from the United States the first three months of this year.
 Mayes testified that exports to Russia were 2,500,000 barrels last year and 50O0,O0O barrels in l945.

BR0WNELL, LOBBYIST
 FOR SURE
Territorial Senator Is in Washington Fighting
 for Town of Seward

WASHINGTON, June 21 - R - Don Carlos Brownell, a member of the Alaskan Senate, said today he had registered as Congressional Lobbyist because of his activities here to try to save the town of Seward from extinction.
 Brownell told reporter that friends said he should register un- der the Lobbyist Act since he has been here 63 days trying to in fluence Congress to pass legislation which he says is needed to keep Seward from being left without land transportation to the remain der of Alaska.
 The Alaska Railroad, which for merly had its terminus at Seward and which led to the establish ment of the town of 1,700 persons, plans to abandon its line South oi Cock Inlet and has established a terminus on the Inlet. This would leave Seward without ground trans portation.
 Plans for an $11,000,0o0 road from Seward to connect with the Alaska Highway system now are before the Budget Bureau and Brownell said he expected the Blu reau would ask Congress shortly to approve the expenditure. The Senate Appropriations Com mittee in approving the Interior Department appropriation bill wrote into its report clause requiring the Alaska Railroad to continue to serve Seward for two years, or until the road is completed.
 Brownell, former Mayor of Sew ard. said he was told he must give an itemized account of all of his expenses while here and who pays them and his salary. He said the last question is easy, for it is ex- actly nothing.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., June 21. -tR = Gangland bullets late last night snuffed out the life of Ben- jamin (Bugsie, Siegel. 41-year-old gambler and one time public enemy, as he sat quietly in home here reading newspaper.
 Police Capt. William w. White said an unidentified gunman sneak ed up to an open window shortly after Siegel and a party of friends returned from dining at an Ocean Park beach, and fired through the curtains.
 At least four shots entered the body of Siegel as he sat reading the paper on divan. Beside him sat one of the guests, Allen Smiley, well known sporting world figure here.
 T heard the glass scattering and I ducked," Captain White quoted Smiley. T don't know how many shots were fired, but when I looked at Siegel, I could see he had taken most of them"

SENATOR'S DELAYING
 VETO VOTE
Upper House in AII-Day, AlI-Night Session-Ar-
 gumenfs Continuing

WASHINGTON, June 2l H-- Frazzled Senators still were far from agreement today on fixing a time for vote on President Truman's veto of the Taft Hartley labor con- trol bill. An end to their all-day. all-night wrangling was nowhere in sight after 24 hours of continuous session.
 As small band of veto support CTS continued their desperate effort to delay a final judgment until next week, Senate Republican Lead CT White of Maine said an effort will be made to reach an agreement for vote Monday.
 This announcement came after White conceded it would be vir- tually impossible to force a vote any, time today on the veto which the House easily overrode yesterday al- most immediately after 1t had ar rived from the White House.
 Senator Morse R.-Ore)., one of the group determined to delay a vote until the nation has time to react to Mir Truman's radio address If last night supporting his veto message, still held the floor this morning.
 There was no opportunity for the Republican leaders, dead set in their hopes of overriding the veto and making the bill law, to dicker for a vote Monday until Morse quit talk ing.
 There was possible chance that once Morse gave up the Senate might agree finally on Whites pro- posal to vote Monday and go home for much-needed weekend rest.
 Senator Pepper (D.-Fla.), like Morse an opponent of the bill, earlier had tried a similar move, but the Republicans, aided by number of Democrats, smashed that effort, 50 to IA. Opponents have been hold ing out to prevent vote before Tuesday at the earliest.
 The White House said several hundred telegrams have been re- ceived in. response to MT. Truman's veto message and his radio address of last night.
 Eben Ayes. Assistanl Press Secre- tary, told reporters the ratio was about 5 to in support of the Presidents stand.

The w ashingt ion Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON Representative of three Senate committees had a hard time getting the Army to ad- init much blame regarding the $500, 100000 Russian occupation mark loss, but they did extract the admission that the War Department was making up it's loss by convert ing U. S. charitable contributions sent to European refugees and dis placed persons into occupation marks.
 It was New Hampshire's Senator Styles Bridges, initiator of the Rus sian currency probe, who drew out this admission Having listened to the Army's story of how it loaned the Russians our currency plates to print paper occupation money, Bridges asked Assistant Secretary of War Howard c. Petersen:
 Having got yourself in that sit uation, it is clear that what you are doing is taking the charitable con- tributions, the individual sending of money, the payment of German war prisoners, all to get the War Department out of the hole that somebody got it into by building up this situation Is not that true?'
 That is correct" admitted Peter sen. And the only alternative to proceeding in the liquidation of those holdings as we are proceeding, is to ask Congress for an appro- priation. Those are the only two all ternatives there are"
 He assured the Senators that the War Department did not intend to ask for. an appropriation.
 The Assistant War Secretary also stated that the decision to turn American currency plates over to the Russians for printing occupa- tion marks was made by the Trea- sury and State Departments.

There is good CHICKEN SALAD
and bad chicken salad-and nothing
is worse than the latter in the way
of wasted food. A chicken salad
that consists of mangled shreas of
chicken, with perhaps bit of bone
here and there, a predominance of
celery and some wilted lettuce leaves,
has no business being served. But
a good chicken salad is something
else again.
The secret is to keep the pieces
of chicken as large and uniform as
possible. Use both dark and white
meat. Season the meat by soaking
| it in a strong, well-favored french
dressing for an hour or so before
using.
Crisp a cup of diced celery, to 2
cups cubed chicken, in salted ice
water. Have cupful of cooked
fresh green peas chilling in the re-
frigerator. When the time comes to
put the salad together, drain the
chicken, mix in the peas and celery
and bind with a tart fresh mayon-
naise dressing. Mound the chicken
and celery mixture on crisped lettuce
leaves, sprinkled with herb vinega,
and garnish the salad with pickle
fans, sliced hard cooked eggs and
strips of red or green pepper. And
be sure 1t is cold.

The other day I received very
refreshing letter. Believe 1t or not
it was from a man who seemed to
think that women had as much right
to demand physical attractiveness in
men as men have to ask 1t OF
women!
In part it said: II am not over
weight and my waist measurement
is the same as 1t was 20 years ago,
but my lower abdomen says or
bulges unless I consciously remem-
ber to hold 1t in. Will you give some
exercises for toning these muscles?
I am sure that this Is due to care
lessness on my part, or laziness, in
allowing the muscles to become
haccid.
IF we ~men are frank we will
admit that men are just as proud of
a good figure as women are. do
not suppose a woman enjoys walking
down the street or dancing with a
man who bulges In the wrong places
any more than we enjoy these attri-
butes in the opposite SEX"
have often thought it strange
that so many men seem to feel that
they are immune to the demands of
attractiveness which they impose on
their beloveds. Many Of the sly
foxes know that they can get by

What the whitefish is to the
Great Lakes dwellers and the POM
pano is to New Orleans epicure-
so is SCROD to the true New
Enelander.
A scrod is actually a small cod
fish, weighing between one and two
pounds. Many fish markets
throughout the country are not
able to obtain the true scrod For
that reason, mistaken idea has
been put across to housewives by
dealers that a scrod is a fillet of
any kind of fish-such as pollock,
cod, haddock, etc. This is too bad
for it is an insult to lovely and
delicate fish that your Down East
erner long has appreciated to the
fun.
Scrod is at it's best when simply
broiled. Remove the backbone. The
fish is sprinkled with salt and pep
per, brushed with melted butter or
oil and placed on a creased broiler
There it broils over hot fire for
one minute, is turned. brushed again
with fat and seasonings and broiled
another minute.
1t is turned and brushed again,
cooked for five minutes farther
away from the fire, turned, brushed
and broiled for three more minutes.
Then it is served Immediately with
the pan drippings, wedges of lemon
and a plate of good cold cucumbers
alongside.
A. wonderful dish that is said to
have had it's origin in Turkey, but
