AUTOMATIC DIsHWASHER

(Fron, NJ. E. T., Waslington.)
In reply to Mrs. D. S., Cheverly
With the automatic electric dish
washer, one OF the thankless jobs in
the home is made easy, dishwashing
is a quick and pleasant job. Dishes
are washed in water too hot for
human hands. They are hygienic-
ally clean, safeguard to your health
and the health of your family. The
machine may be used after each
meal, or in the case of a small fam
lily, it may be used only once a day.
The dishes from breakfast and lunch
may be scraped and stacked in the
dishWasher and washed with the dim
ner dishes. Since the dishes them
selves do not move during the wash
ing operation, fine china is perfectly
safe. The detergents used are such
that they dissolve the grease from
the dishes, yet do not harm the
china. Your dishes and glassware
are sparkling clean and sanitary.

In The Star of February IL, Mrs.
J. J. R. of Washington, a working
mother, asked readers to tell her
how to manage to care for her chllo
while working, because she must
work. She apparently does not know
that there is a Washington child
care program, supported in part with
public funds administered by the
Board of Public Welfare and in part
by parents fees. This is the only
program tailored completely to the
special needs of children OF working
mothers that I have known OF during
four years in Washington. Other
private nursery schools have shorter
hours. long summer and Christmas
vacations, and SO on, which make
them impossible for working
mothers. The Board of Public Wei
fare day care centers provide ex-
cellent food, the care of intelligent,
well educated professional teachers
who give the Children, ages approx
mately az to II years, not only care,
but nursery school or recreatlonal
training. Hours are what the
mothers need, most programs are
open from 7 a m. to pm. or little
later. Fees are graduated in &C
cordance with what you can pay
Tell Mrs. j. j. r. to get in touch
with the Child Day Care Centers,
46O C street NV. The nursery
schools are located in convenient
neighborhood areas. Maids are
fairly undesirable people to leave
children with all day. We think day
care centers are better.

Rabbit Infection
Found in State

Wild animals in Adams County
recently have shown evidence of
tularemia, or rabbit fever" ac-
cording to Dr. Arthur L. Ringle,
State Health Director, and hunters
throughout this area and else
where in the State are warned to
be extremely careful in SHINING
and dressing rabbits and other
wild animals and birds.
The director explained that
tularemia is a dangerous COM
municable disease passed from a
sick rabbit, or any infected wild
animal, to a human being. The
germs are in the animals blood
and can easily work through cuts,
scratches or very minor injuries
in the hunters skin.
Leave the pepless animal
alone" DR.. Ringle advises. IF
an animal is an easy shot, the
chances are he is i'll, possibly in
fected with tularemia."
always wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the animal. You
may have microscopic cuts or
breaks in your skin whichever
though you can't see them-will

remia germs.

permanently lost. A Captain of
Infantry, for example, was one
of the few Americans to survive
the bombing of Japanese trans
port that was en- route to a prison
camp in Japan. Later he died.
Before his death, however, he re-
lated to a fellow officer a story
of having traded his expensive
watch with a japanese sentry
aboard the ship in exchange for
food. The Jap had not kept his
part of the bargain, and the Cap
tain wanted his watch back. The
fellow officer returned to the
United States and told his story
to the Army Effects Bureau.
/. After months of search, the Japa-
nese sentry was located, the watch
recovered and sent to the Cap
tains' parents.

War Department announced to-
day.
This sum, dispatched along
with personal effects valued at
thousands of dollars, was part OF
the operations of perhaps the
largest lost and found agency OF
its kind in the world. The bureau
is operated by the Office of the
Quartermaster General.
Currently the Army Effects Bu-
reau is making an effort to es-
tablish the identity of owners
| of a large. amount of valuable
property which has been care
fully stored away against the day
when ownership is determined.
In assisting in locating own
ers, Photographic studios, watch
companies, high schools and
many business firms have beer
very cooperative in furnishing
leads which eventually brought
property back to the hands Of
those who had lost it.
Ownership in one case was
established through a ring which
was part of personal effects to be
returned. The only available clue
was an inscription on the rims
which gave the name OF hlgf
school, a date and three initials
Bureau personnel scanned the
graduation list of the high schoo
for the year given on the ring ane
eventually found the only name
which matched the initials. The
owner had been killed in action
but a grateful sister received thu
ring as a keepsake.

the director emphasized.
DR.. Ringle said adequate cook
ing is another safeguard against
this dangerous disease. Regard
less of the dish being prepared,
the meat should be cooked for at
least twenty minutes at boiling
temperatures.
The director pointed out that
these precautions should be used
by hunters all over Washington,
whether or not tularemia has been
reported i'm their area. He urged
that these safeguards be used in
any kind of hunting since tula-
remia has been reported in their
area. He urged that these safe
guards be used in any Kind OF
hunting since tularemia occurs in
all wild animals and birds.

CoIumbiansD DESTROYED
By Adverse Publicity,
|Loomis TeIIsCourt
BY the Assoeioted Press

ATLANTA, Feb. 15.-Using a Su-
perior Court witness stand, Homer
Loomis, jr., last night expounded at
length the white supremacy prin-
ciples of Columbians, Inc, which he
helped organize, but admitted the
anti-Negro, anti-Jewish order was
practically destroyed"
| Loomis talked for three hours and
IS minutes, interrupted only by brief
recesses, in an unsworn personal
statement allowed under Georgia
law in his trial on charge of in
citement to riot in connection with
an alleged assault on Negro youth.
| Only toward the end did he touch
directly on the charge against him,
asserting that II was not guilty on
any connection" with the assault
and adding:
Il did not beat the Negro nor
conspire with any one to have it
done. The only thing I have done
was to try to start a political move
ment to work for the white work
ing people"
Accuses Witnesses of Lying.
OF the principal witnesses who
testified against him, he said that
they have lied" and that they had
sold out to the Jews"
Then he added:
But through their adverse pub
licity, they have practically de-
stroyed our organization. The men,
bers are scared to DEATH"
Allowed to make. his statement
without taking an oath and un-
questioned by either defense or
prosecution counsel, Loomis took
the stand at $40 pm, talking un-
interruptedly, except for recesses,
until 12:45 am, when Judge Clarke
Edwards, jr., adjourned court until
$50 am. today.
Loomis traced the growth of his
beliefs that America must become
a nation of lone people, because
where races are mixed, living
standards are lowered" and leveled
attacks against the Jews as race
which had refused assimilation and
were interested only in the preser-
vation of their own people.
Calls Himself Nationalist
Loomis described himself as an
American nationalist" whose love
of country and race led him to ad
vocate the eventual deportation of
all Negroes to Africa and either the
assimilation of Jews with other
races or their forced departure from
this nation. -,- .e,.. 81. ~. o..
Columbians had always been in
structed never to carry weapons and
to avoid trouble on patrols of white
residential areas, he declared, add
ing that the patrols had been re-
quested by residents frightened" by
Negro encroachments.
He declared liberal theories"
which, he said, advocated economic
and political equality for Negroes,
because social equality sis sure" to
follow.

House Portal Bill Gives
Employers Defense if
| Good Faith Is Proved
BY the Associoied Press

A House judiciary subcommittee
drew up a bill yesterday under
which an employer who could prove
he had acted in good faith" coule
thereby establish a defense agains
suits filed for back pay under th'
portal-to-portal principle.
This had been one of the prin.
cipal points raised by employers
who protested against the wave o1
portal pay suits-now in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, 100000.
They said they had dealt with
their workers in good faith and now
suddenly were faced with huge de-
mands for back pay which had not
been considered in bargaining.
Three-Year Limit Set.
AS subcommittee members de-
scribed it, another major provision
of the bill is that no employer
shall be liable for payment of back
portal pay tfor time spent by his
workers in getting ready for work.
for more than three years prior
to filing a suit.
The bill now goes to the full Judi
ciary Committee and then to the
House for vote. 1t might reach
the House floor late next week or
early the following week,
The measure makes no attempt
to say ortal-to-portal suits are
illegal, but it would surround the
suits with restrictions.
Other provisions, still subject to
revision:
Portal pay cases may be settled
out of court if there is no evidence
of fraud or duress.
Burden of Proof on Union.
In court cases the burden of proof
of liability is on the employe or
union.
Working time would be considered
as that set by usual practices in the
industry and by legal collective bar
gaining in which both parties acted
in good faith.
There is no definition of working
time as that actually spent in pro-
ductive labor.
The subcommittee went ahead
with its work, regardless of the deci-
sion by Federal Judge Frank A.
Picard dismissing the famous Mount
Clemens Pottery Co. case as trifling.
This case, after the Supreme Court
tied the portal-to-portal pay angle
to it, had inspired the host of suits
for back pay for make ready time. "
