Prisoner Food Bills
Cut by Meat|ess Days,
Bread From Potatoes

The high cost of living is getting
serious consideration by Donald
Clemmer, director of the Department
Of Corrections.
Not only is he cutting down the
supply Of meat given inmates of the
correctional institutions in the Dis
trict, but he is making bread out of
potatoes grown on the Lorton Re-
formatory farm.
The District Jail inmates have
three meatless days a week. One
day they are given fish and on the
other two days they are served fried
egg plant, soy bean pattie, or baked
navy or lima beans. The Reforma-
tory at Lorton and the Work House
at Occoquan have one meatless and
one fish day.
Even on so-called meat days, the
amount Of meat is cut down from
the amount the prisoners were given
previously, and the stews are gen.
erously packed with macaroni and
other non-meat ingredients.

his conviction on charges of accept

"the personal responsibility of

The organization, composed Of

 Recapture Taian

HAWKING, (P) - The official Central News Agency Tuesday re- ported that Government troops had recaptured strategic Taian, 33 miles south of the Shantung pro- vincial capital of Tsinan, after hand-to-hand fighting with Com muniSt troops.
 Reported recapture of the inn portant city on the Tientsin-Pu koW rail line followed a visit by Chiang Kai-Shek to Tsinan, where he exhorted his commanders to destroy the Communists.
 Taian fell to the Communists only few weeks ago.
 The tides of battle were moving against the Government to the west, in rugged Shansi province, where Communists threatened Taiyuan, the capital, from all sides following occupation of Showyang, 30 miles to the east.

 Secretary of State Marshall read a note to the Senate foreign relations committee, in which MT. Truman said he concurs whole heartedly with Marshall and James F. Byrnes, former secre- tary, in urging speedy ratification of treaties with Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania.
 Arguing that the United States should maintain a consistent pol icy on such matters, MT. Truman said it would be a great misfor- tune and a blow to this country in world affairs" if the treaties are not ratified.
 Marshall himself told the com mittee that the world would lose all confidence in our proposals and our leadership" if the Senate fails to ratify the Italian, treaty speedily"

Senate Committee Votes
To Confirm Postmaster
Nominee Despite NAACP

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec 10 (NNPA)-After hearing
protest from the National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People the Senate Civil Service Committee last
Tuesday voted unanimously to recommend confirmation of
Jesse NJ Donaldson to be the Postmaster General
Clarence Mitchell, labor secretary of the NAACP,
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1947-12-19

charged that Mr.. Donaldson as
First Assistant Postmaster General
had failed TO take action against
race discrimination practiced by
pOstmasters In several cities.
At the opening Of the hearing,
Senator Dennis Chavez, Of New
Mexico, ranking minority member
Of the committee, asked Mr.
Mitchell to be patient, give Mr.
Donaldson a chance and let the
committee report his nomination
favorably.
Speaking as "a friend Of the
Negro race and a. one who hates
discrimination" Senator Chavez,
a sponsor Of fair employment
practice legislation, absOlved Mr..
Donaldson Of blame for any dis
elimination praetieed In the Post
Office Department.
Il believe II there was any dis
elimination anywhere, and It was
bound TO be somewhere, II was en-
tirely unknown to Mr.. Donaldson
and, therefore, he has never had
the responsibility 70 take official ac-
tion," said Senator Chavez.
Senator Kenneth Mcclellan,
Democrat, Of Tennessee, also made
= plea In behalf Of Mr.. Donaldson,
saying he believed the nominee to
be without prejudice"
Acknowledging that Senator
ChHVOs 10 "a great friend Of the
people and the causes I represent,
Mr.. Mitchell insisted upon present
ing his charges against the nom-
inee.
He charged that Mr.. Donaldson
failed 10 take corrective action
In behalf Of fifteen veterans and
two nOn-VeteraRs who were de-
MED emplOym mt In the New Or
leans post Office because they
are eOlOred.
He also charged that as First As
sistant Postmaster General
charged with post office manage
