To Create Cardinals
Rv the Assoeioted Press

VATICAN CITY, Feb. Ire
current reports that Pope Plus
XII will create new cardinals to
fill vacancies in the Sacred Col
lege were revived today by news
of secret consistory to. be held
next month.
Vatican sources said the con-
sistory will be convoked to get
final approval Of the cardinals on
the proposed canonization OF Jean
de Lestonnac, French founder of
the Daughters of the Blessed Vir-
gin Mary. and Maria Giuseppe
Rossello, Italian founder of the
Daughters of Our Lady of Mercy.
Some vatican sources thought
the Pontiff might take this occa-
sion to present new nominations
to the college-the first step be-
fore their publication in the Vat
lean newspaper Osservatore Ro-
mano and summoning OF the
prelates to consistory to get
their red hats.
There are now 56 cardinals, in
cluding Josef Cardinal Minds
zenty, under sentence Of life ln-
prisonment by a Hungarian
court. Fourteen cardinals have
died since January, 1916. Thirty
seven have died in the 1O-yea1
reign of the present Pope.
Three years ago tomorrow. the
Pontiff created 80 new cardinals
to build up the membership OF
the college, which then had fallen
to a record low of 38.

Steel Capacity
Is Below Prosperity's
Needs, Murray Says
BY the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 17.-Phil
Murray, president of the CIO and
the United Steelworkers of Amer
lea, says there is insufficient steel
making capacity in the United
States for "a high level Of pros
perity and employment"
Mr.. Murray said last night he
had informed Chairman Spence
of the House Banking and Cur
rency Committee that the steel
workers believe the very founda-
ton of the economy may depend
on whether or not the steel-mak-
ing capacity is expanded to meet
current and future needs"
Called Real BOttleneck.
The union leader, convalescing
from an appendicitis operation,
said he told Mr.. Spence in a tele-
gram that steel is the real bottle
neck which is holding back needed
production in a whole network of
industries.
, Mr.. Murray said his union is
prepared to show that industry
figures on capacity increases and
expansion are greatly inflated
He said he hoped the present
testimony whenever the commit
tee holds hearings on an admin
istration bill, to give the Govern
ment power to build industrial
plants if needed to speed produc-
ton.
Mr.. Murray said industrialists
have been poor prophets regard
ing the length of the (steeD
shortage"
10000, 900 Ton. Shortage Seen.
In Chicago DR.. Louis H. Bean
economist with the Agriculture
Department, said that the steel
industry. under present expansion
plans, will fall short of the Ma
tons requirements by 100000
tons year.
/ Speaking at a meeting of the
American Statistical Association
DR.. Bean said:
THE steel industry expects tc
complete it's expansion program
attaining a total capacity of 98,-
100000 tons annually by 1851
Even if this were operated at the
unusual rate of SO per cent OF
capacity for whole year, the
shortage of production would still
be about 100000 tons in the
early 1950s and grow larger and
larger by the late 1950s."

Mystery Of Missing
Jury Records Persists
In Trial Of II Reds
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Sec
ond chapter of the mystery Of
the missing pages of the Fed
eral jury clerks record book un-
folds today at the conspiracy trial
of eleven top Communist leaders.
Defense lawyers brought out
evidence yesterday that pages Il
to "a were missing from a book
containing records of old jury
notices.
The laWyers-Who for weeks
have been seeking to prove that
the Federal jury system here is
discrimination - did not make
clear the fu lificance of the
discovery. L.. indicated. how-
ever, that they hoped to show
that actual jury-selecting records
were missing.
Judge Harold R. Medina ques-
toned the Importance of the
matter, but said he would allow
defense counsel to follow it fur
ther today.
Judge Denies Defense Claim.
Harry Sacher, one of the defense
attorneys, tried to show that the
pages had been torn from the
book. But Judge Medina said
there was absolutely no evidence
that the pages were taken out"
Jury Clerk Joseph F. Mckenzie,
who testified to the missing pages
under cross examination by the
defense, said the book was in that
condition when he returned from
Army service in 1943
The angle of the missing pages
developed at the 21st day of the
defense's pretrial attack on the
jury system.
The defense contends the de-
PENDANTS cannot get a fair trial
because the system of picking
jurors allegedly discriminates
against poor people, manual la
borers, women. Jews, Negroes and
members of other minorities. and
in favor of the rich. On that
ground the defense wants the
judge to scrap the panel ofpros-
pective trial jurors and to kill the
indictment, charging conspiracy to
advocate overthrow of the Gov
ernment.
New Bias Arguments Offered.
The defense offered new argu-
ments yesterday that the jury sys-
tenn discriminates against Negroes.
! Frank H. Gordon, special Assist
ant United States Attorney Gen.
eral, contended the testimony &C
tually showed that Negroes are
called and do serve as jurors.
Mr.. Sacher charged for the de-
fense that this was just token
representation"
Judge Medina commented that
the evidence so far had not shown
that there was only token repre-
sentation.

Taxes Deter u. ). Firms
From Retaining
Japanese Holdings

TOKYO, Feb. II (CDN -
American investors, who ac-
counted for more than half of a
5000, 100000 foreign stake in pre-
war Japan, aren't exactly in a
mad scramble to get back ipto
business here.
Some investors who might be
willing to take a gamble are re-
luctant to invest in a country
whose government exists on dole
from the United States, whose
industry exists on a dole from
government and whose workers
exist on dole from industry.
However, there Is more cogent
reason why only one-Standard
Oil-of As American companies
with prewar holdings has taken
steps to reclaim it's property here.
When war came they wrote off
their japanese holdings as war
losses and took substantial reduc-
tions in their taxes at home.
Face U. S., Jap Taxes.
The moment they reclaim their
property they become subject to
back taxes. They also become
subject to Japanese taxes. In the
meantime, the Army must look
after their holdings.
Other factors which tend to
discourage foreign investors are:
/. Lack of assurance in black
and white that Japan won't dis
criminate against foreign inves-
tors as it did before the war
Many of these discriminatory laws
are still on the books.
2. Lack of an exchange rate
which prevents them from con-
verting their yen earnings into
dollars. Nobody seems to be in
terested in accumulating ware
houses full of yen during ar
inf1ationary period.
3. Peculiarities of japanese tax
laws and unique methods OF
assessing property.
4. Irksome but perhaps neces.
sary restrictions imposed by the
occupation on foreign investors ir
the absence of a peace treaty.

Messy
Play
By Angelo Potri

When there are children under
the age of six and over the age
Of two In the house, their moth
ers are obliged to find occupation
for them. They must spend some
time indoors. and as their moth
ers are usually busy with house,
work they must either be occupied
or underfoot. II they are not
busy they feel out Of sorts and
that feeling is not good for them
or anybody concerned with them.
The thing is to find things for
them to do and relieve them and
their mothers.
Toys soon lose attraction, es-
pecially those that require no
skill, no effort in their use. Toy
autos that rest In a corner and
can be used very little, a squeak
ing cat or mouse, a picture book,
last only a brief time. What is
required is occupation that holds
the child's interest and keeps him
working for a considerable time.
These occupations are likely to
be messy.
Modelling is very attractive
occupation for many children.
II water and clay are used, it be-
comes a very messy operation and
is likely to impose more work on
the already overworked mother.
Plasticine is better If 1t can be
obtained. If not, and water and
clay must be used, provide a place
where the mess will not cause
too much trouble. That is not
easy in city apartments. Tables
must be covered, floors protected
and oilcloth aprons provided. II
this preparation pays for itself in
terms Of freedom for the mother
it will certainly pay in terms Of
childrens skill Of hand. knowl-
edge Of form and line and it will
be easy on their minds.
Water games are q delight for
children but again they are messy.

supervised. When children turn
on the faucets In the bathtub
things are likely to happen that
are not on the program. The wa
ter may flood the ceilings beneath,
soak children to the skin, or
threaten danger, as q tubful Of
water does to small children sail
ing boats In it. Children should
not be left alone to play with q
bathtub filed with water.
Painting is q child's idea of
bliss. Finger painting releases
tensions. So does the sweeping
brush filled with color. But what
paint can do to q room, to al
child's clothes, is something toI
make one pause.
These messy occupations are
good for children. good for their
minds as well as their bodies, but
they must be used with discretion
lest they make the busy mother

@. when on diet I get such
q craving during the afternoon
that I have been stuffing on corn
flakes and other dry cereal. VIII
this make one gain weight or are
they all right for snacks?"
A. It isn't so much the kind Of
food you eat-it is just the calorie
count every day. Since calories
and food intake are cut low, it is
extremely important to spend
these calories in such way as to
build health by giving your body
the materials it needs.
think you would do better to
use your in-between eating to
build up your vitamin and mineral
intake; for instance, eat an apple
or an orange, some celery or raw
carrots (Which are 4illing) or
drink glass of milk.
Corn flakes are not especially
fattening but one-third cup has
about 100 calories and If you stuff
on them and especially, If you add
cream and sugar, you are shooting
your calorie intake way up!
Q. MY bust measures "a inches
and have heard that the applica-
ton Of cocoa butter every night
will develop the bust. Is this true?
II so, is it cocoa butter alone or
does one have to massage. too?"
A. The application OF melted
cocoa butter, massaged in gently
each night, Is suggested along with
exercises on my bust-developing
routine. The exercises are tho
main thing, although the stimula-
ton Of heat and gentle massage
may be helpful.
@. my problem is prominent
bones in my neck. Is there any
exercise which will fill out and
make my shoulder bones less
PROMINENT"
A. Neck and arm exercises are
helpful. Do this: Roll your head
around In a circle, first in one di-
rection and then in the other.
Another exercise: Bend your head
as far as you can to the left. Raise
your head. Bend it to the right.
Raise your head. Continue. Also:
Stand tall with your arms hang
ing at your sides. Raise both
arms sideways and upward and
clap the hand overhead. Lower
arms to sides. Continue.
@. II have almost completely
gray hair and am only 80 years
old. Should I dye it?"
A. Some Of the most stunning
women I have ever seen had young
faces and gray hair. However, If
it makes you feel self-conscious,
dye 1t. However, beginning this
young you will have to do it for
an awfully long time.

The true gourmet knows that
whereas a certain sauce will do
nicely on one type Of meat or fowl,
it viii belittle. rather than en-
hance, another.
For example, never use a robust.
horseradish or mustard sauce with
q broiled or baked chicken. With
cold roast goose or duck it is de-
licious. Tartar sauce is perfect
with frogs legs and fried fish,
but it has no place with quail
or roast beef. A sauce Of current
jelly and red wine Is fine with
game or ham or tongue, but It
would be impossible with fresh
pork, for example.
