Burmeister' S
plan opposed
byChieagoAvC

Chicago Area Council, Ameri-
can Veterans Committee, placed
itself this week "as being un-
alterably opposed" to the Bur-
meister resolution in the city
council.
The measure would create a
loyalty board" for city en-
ployees, requiring even mem
bers of the city council to affirm
that they are not Communists
or "subversive.' AVCers termed
the bill Sin fragrant violation
of the word and spirit of the
Constitution of the I'm t e d
States and thoroughly alien and
discreditable to the tradition of
American democracy"
The Burmeister resolution is
still in the council rules COM
mittee, awaiting assignment to
another committee for hearings,
it was learned from Aid. Lam
caster, rules chairman.
Progressive AVG leaders in
Chicago, just returning from
tn cir Cleveland convention,
praised the area council for its
stand on the bill. They pointed
wryly, however, to the conven-
tons establishment of an AVG
loyalty board" of its own to
bar Communists from member
ship. Chicago area council lead
ers supported the move.

powerful Chicago Bears, an d
Jimmy doesn't expect to leave
without victory and the Western
Division Championship in his
hands.
Halas, on the other hand, has
other plans. The result should
be the dOgg0ndest football game
Chicago fans have seen in many
moon. These two bitter city
rivals have met 81 times with
the Bears winning 81, losing IL
and tieing s, but every game has
been hard fought with tn e
Bears, even in victory, knowing
they were lucky to get out with
their scalps.
This year there is little to
choose between the two teams.
They have played great football
this season, both winning ten
games while losing one. Both
turned in impressive victories
last Sunday as the Bears swamp
ed Detroit AZ to ii while the
Cards were swapping Green
Bay AZ to 7.
The Cards have the finest and
fastest backfield in football, with
Paul Christman at uarter,
Charley Trippi and Elmer Angs-
man at half and the powerful
Pat Harder at full. Nal Kutner
and Billy Dewell have no equals
at end. The Redbirds have fine
offensive line and an equally
potent defensive combination.
Most of the sports experts ad-
init all of this, but then point
out that the Bears may not be
as flashy as the Cards first team
but they have more depth and
stronger defense. The Cards
have shown weakness on pass
defense and the experts expect
Sid Luckman and Johnny Luz
jack, with fine receivers like
Jim Keane and Ken Kavanaugh
to pass them silly.
We admit that the Bears have
greater depth, a better defensive
team and it is true the Cards
have been weak on pass defense.
In fact, cay in and day out, the
Bears probably have a slightly
better team. We picked them to
win the title.
Since that time, however, we
have been greatly impress ID by
the spirit that the Cardinals have
shown. They took the loss of

4 Asst Saturday night we took
- trip out to the Chicago
Stadium. We were rewarded by
watching in our opinion tn
greatest basketball player of all
time, Big George Mikan, put on
one of his best exhibitions.
George poured in AZ points to tie
the B.A.A. league record.
1t wasn't quite enough to off
set the sharpshooting of Max
Zaslofsky and Andy Phillips of
the Stays, who led the Chicago
team to thrilling 104 to 100
overtime victory over Mikan's
Minneapolis Lakers. But even in
Stag victory before an avid
Chicago crowd, the biggest man
on the floor in more ways than
one was Big George.
The thing that h m a de
Mikan so great is his constant
Improvement. When he came
out of college he was a first
rate offensive player but he had
a habit of fouling out.
Today he is also one of the
best defensive players in the
country and yet he seldom fouls
out. Last Saturday he had only
one personal called on him while
the two men who were assigned
to guard him left long before
the game was over because of
fouls.
Everytime you see the big guy
you say he couldn't be any bet
ter. The next time you see him
he proves you were wrong.

II the Hawks could get one
capable defense man to 60 with
Gadsby, Mattress and Goldman,
they would be a cinch for a

Say what you will, genuine
sauerbraten is one of the best
dishes ever to come out of Europe
Essentially of German origin, it has
versions in almost every Old World
country and most of them have
drifted over to the melting pot OF

who came here to seek freedom ano
happiness.

chestnut trees in full bloom, I had

for my fles-and here it is:
You can use a shoulder clod or
bottom round of beef, but you must
get extra fat from the butcher
Also, get the butcher to lard the
whole roast for you with his Harding
needle. He will know how, espe-

school.

Mushrooms are cheaper than they
have been for quite some time, the
quality is tops. Mushrooms make
good meat substitutes for change;
add them to spaghetti or macaroni
dishes in place of meat. Broccoli,
kale, Canadian rutabagas, sprouts,
Louisiana yams and carrots are
more vegetables for you to put on
the shopping list this week.
Among the fruits citrus fruits
lead, of course. Tangerines, navel
oranges, new Temple oranges from
Florida, white and red grapes,
lines, avocados, pears and plenty
OF bananas. Do you ever bake,
broil or fry these? They're delicious
served as a vegetable, only be sure
you pick them at the right stage
of ripeness for cooking, and that is
when the skin is yellow, slightly
tipped with green, or before the
banana Is fully ripe.

lief in sight. you'll all be interested
in the special feature on ground
beef this week end. In place of the
time-worn hamburgers dig out your
recipes for meat loaves, salisbury

Is still a great need for the fats
that you can save in your own

Bring the salvaged fat in to your

the meat. Longer aging Is often
used, but it allows for the develop
ment of stale odors from the growth
of mold on the surface of the meat.
Aging longer than 10 days appears
for beef that is to be

PRESSURE COOKER.

From Mrs. L. A. S., Washington J
I am glad that Mrs. F. L. M. OF
Alexandria has presented her ques-
tions about pressure cooking, be-
cause had similar problems when
first used my cooker and T believe
that the various manufacturers OF
pressure. cookers should improve
their instruction books by giving
more detailed instructions and ad-
ditional recipes. I am fortunate
enough to have a cooker with one
of the more detailed booklets con-
tanning a number Of unusual
recipes which I might never have
evolved for myself.
About the new cook books on
pressure cooking. I have used two
OF them, through the Mt. Pleasant
Branch of the District of Columbia
Public Library, and at the end OF
the two weeks loan period I de-
cided to purchase the better OF the
two, namely the one by Ida Bailey
Allen, entitled Pressure Cookery D
II you are familiar with the work of
Mrs. Allen, a well-trained home
economist of many years exper-
ience, you will know that she was
well qualified to prepare such a
book and on comparatively short
notice. I attended Mrs. Aliens
demonstration program in our
largest department store in the fall,
and wish that the audience could
have been several thousand instead
of several hundred. Mrs. Allen
spoke briefly of her experimental
work with the different cookers.
During the war years she was en-
gagged in research in pressure
cookery for the War Department
and travelled the country over in
connection with this work. Since
the war she had visited in large
cities and small towns, sometimes
demonstrating the cookers on one
burner oil and electric stoves before
groups of veterans and their wives
who were living in the smallest of
quarters. We saw her cook and
arrange on a large platter veal
scallopini which looked like a ban
quet dish-and yet IT required only
half a pound of veal, sliced wafer
thin. (She complimented Washing
ton on having at least one butcher
who was willing to slice the veal
thin enough for her-elsewhere in
the tour it had been constant
battle to get 1t that way. This and
many other recipes are in Mrs.
Aliens book which I urge you to
buy or borrow from the library.
Il wonder whether very many
women realize what fine collection
