Pork Is Most Popular
Meat Dish on American
Table; Beef second
Pork Estimated to Have Been
Domesficufed 1900 Be.

NEW YORK. - According to the
American Meat institute, the pei
capita consumption of pork in the
U. S. last year was 70.9 pounds
compared with 68.6 pounds of beef
Nutritional experts say the two
animals are about equal in food
value except that pork, if properly
cooked, has about 10 times as much
thiamin, or vitamin B1.
One pound of bacon contains 5000
calories. Pigs stomachs are great
source of pepsin and their glands
are used for making pharmaceutical
preparations.
Swine were used as scavengers
before people learned that their
flesh was edible. A Chinese scholar
estimates that his people first do
mesticated them about 1900 years
before Christ.
The ancient Greeks and Romans
were pork eaters. Homer, in the
odyssey" tells how Odysseus
(Ulysses), returning from his trav-
els, first sought the dwelling of his
faithful servant Eumaeus, "the di-
vine swineherd."
A much later but no less cele-
brated swineherd was the American
philosopher Emerson, elevated to
the office of public pig man" by
his neighbors of Concord, Mass.
Leonardo da Vinci, inventor and
scientist as well as one of the great
Renaissance painters, invented the
spit upon which pigs are barbecued.
And it is reported that compile
ton of his masterpiece "The Last
Supper" was delayed while he inn
proved the blades of machine he
had invented for the making OF
sausage.
In such esteem was the curing Of
pork held in Spain that Cervantes,
writing of Don Quixote's lady love,
described her as "the
best hand at sailing pork of any
woman in all La Mancha."

Convicfs Use Benzedrine
InhuIers to Get Thrill

WASHINGTON. - Governm en-
spokesmen warned convicts who
eat the contents of benzedrine in
halers to get a "kick" that they are
placing their lives in jeopardy.
A benzedrine inhaler is a small
tube-like affair, designed to be in
serted in the noStrils so sufferers
from certain colds and hay fever
can breathe the drug vapor.
Benzedrine in certain concentra-
ton has a stimulating effect on the
central nervous system, but it
should be taken internally only on a
doctors orders, DR.. Robert T. Stor-
mont, federal drug administration
medical director, said
Stormont said a prescription is re-
quired to buy benzedrine in tablet
form.
"a person who breaks open an in
haler tube and chews the contents
gets a possible dosage of $50 milli-
grams which is potentially danger
Gus and may even cause DEATH" he
said.
The drug Stormont said, will
mask the symptoms of fatigue,
making a person feel popped up
when he needs sleep, although this
could not go on indefinitely.
"There have been a number of
reports of people, mainly convicts
swallowing the contents of inhalers
to get Jag and of young people
using them to spike drinks"

5 Soviet Ships Reach
Canal for Repair, but
Remain Outside Port
Fishing Croft Reported
Under Surveillance From
Launches at CristobuI
BY the Associated Press

BALBOA, Canal Zone, April
16.-Lt. Gen. Willis Critten-
berger, commander of United
States armed forces in the Carib-
bean, said today five small
Russian ships had arrived un-
announced at Cristobal Harbor
in need of repairs.
The vessel, described as fishing
craft, were believed en- route from
Leningrad to Vladivostok.
The repair work will be done out
side the port and the ships will not
come alongside the Wharves.
Gen Crittenberger said this would
prevent them from cluttering ur
harbor facilities. Usually, ships
which put in at Cristobal for repairs
are berthed at the docks.
When asked whether this was the
first instance wherein such precau-
tions were taken, Gen. Crittenbergel
replied:
I'VE take precautions always"
Some of the repair work on the
Soviet ships, chiefly to compass anc
radio equipment, will require moving
the ships, so their crews will remain
aboard.
The vessels arrived Wednesday
morning. Well-informed sources
said Panama Canal authorities and
an intelligence official boarded them
chat afternoon. They have been un-

A naval official described the ships
as the Barkentine type belonging to
the Russian fishing fleet. They are
about 125 feet long.

The House vote was 343 to 3
with only one Democrat and two

The vote came a few hours after
the President had taken a firm
stand on the side of Defense Sec
retary Forrestal for only $2,376, ,000,-
600 at this time to develop a S.
group Air Force.
The House vote was an over
whelming victory for one of Mr.
Forrestal's subordinates, Secretary
of Air Symington, who has con-
tinued to declare his belief in the
need for a bigger Air Force, even

Communist Outbreak
Is Possible in i. s.,
Congress Is Warned
Intelligence Chief Reports
Advance Doto on Bogotu
Were Given Marshall
BY the Associated Press

An open warning and guarded
hint that Colombia's blood-Spat-
tered revolt pattern may be used
in the United States spurred a
congressional committee today
to dig deeper for facts.
For one thing, the lawmakers
want complete explanation of the
reasons why the State Department
went ahead with the Pan Ameri-
can Conference at Bogota despite
definite word that the Communists
were plotting trouble there.
The department itself said Secre-
tary of State Marshall scornfully
rejected any motion that "a hand
full of Communists" could intimi-
date the American republics.
But Representative Brown, Re-
publican, of Ohio saw the situation
in a different light.
Brown Demands Answers.
"Why," he asked, did they (de-
partment officials 60 blindly into
this conference knowing there
might be trouble? Why did they
permit themselves and the country
to be put in a ticklish pcsition?"
Mr.. Brown said he wants the an
swers to those questions and will
try to get them at hearings to be
set later
He is the chairman Of House
committee set up to look into the
BACKGROUND of the destructive
Bogota uprising particularly to
learn whether this country's Central
Intelligence Agency had warned
Gen. Marshall there might be trouble
in the Colombian capital.
Yesterdays hearing brought evil
dence of q number of such warnings
Afterward the State Department
volunteered that it had been fully
aware of the situation itself and
that Gen. Marshall had commented
"saltily" the American republics
were not going to be intimidated by
Communists or anybody else.
Gaitan Likened to Wallace.
But the thing that stood out In
sharpest focus was the double ad-
monition in Congress that trouble
may be ahead in this country.
First, Rear Admiral R. H. Hlllen-
koetter head of the C1A, told Mr.
Browns committee that conditions
in Colombia are similar to those in
the United States except that they
are advanced a couple of years"
