News Agency, which is often used
to express the Kremlin's views,
said today that Russia is prepar-

was sreported today that John L.
Lewis, president OF the United
Coal Miners of America, is try
ing to get his union back into

Federation of Labor.
In December, 1947, Lewis sent
penciled note to William Green,
president of the A. F. of L., stat
ing that the mine union had dis
affiliated" with the Green or
ganization. Since then the coal
mining union has been operating
independently.
A. F. of l., leaders are trying to
figure out what is Lewis object
in trying to have his union re-
stored to membership in the fed
Grafton. II his union is admitted,
will he start a drive to try TO
control the A. +. of L.?
Questions of that nature have
made the A. F. of l.. leaders wary.
They did not say what action
will be taken on the Lewis re-
quest when it is formally re-
ceived.

on-coming hordes of Reds have
been relieved by fresh forces,
who have given a good account
of themselves.
In two of the four sectors, the
defenders are holding their own,
according to a Nationalist COM
munique. The report said that a
column of Reds was beaten badly
in frontal attack before its sur
.viving members turned and fled.
That setback was regarded by
foreign military observers as
only temporary, for the Reds are
headed toward the Whangpoo: in
column after column, while the
firing of Red batteries is increas-

Plane after plane, each loaded
to capacity, is leaving the city

Red broadcasters predicted that
communists and Nationalist will
be fighting inside the city in the
next two or three days.

only the pillows need to be stored.
These are more expensive than

more and when I read where one

her family including all the milk
the children can drink, eggs and
butter for the low sum Of $65 and
to top 1t all. including company
for dinner. that's the person I'd
like to talk to and see If I can be

GREEN SALADS.
from Mrs. B. T. p, WdsKingtonJ
To Mrs. c. r. r., Arlington.
Making green salads is very easy
process and very healthful. Use
any kind of leafy, green vege-
tables; also carrots and beets
(grate these) in any combination
desired. Don't forget raw toma-
toes. The chain stores have sew
eral kinds of dressing (not mayon-
naise) that are good. If on a
reducing diet squeeze on lemon
juice just before eating. using no
dressing. Do not peel vegetables,
scrub them, even cucumbers. In
that way. no vitamins are lost.
In buying celery select only that
which has plenty Of green leaves.
Use also green cabbage. ri
