from Mrs. ". r. B.. WaynesboroJ
Perhaps some one else has al

but I should like to add my en-
thusiastic recommendation Of the
powdered skim milk product
packaged by q very well-known
company and available In almost
all large food stores and super
markets. I have been paying IS
cents for a package that makes 5
quarts Of liquid.
I like this form of milk for sev-
eral reasons: !. It tastes like or
dinary milk 2. 1t fits In fine with
my reducing diet. 8. At Z cents
a quart. 1t also fits into my food
budget. 4. I can always have q
good supply of milk in the house
without cramming q lot Of bulky
bottles into my apartment-size
refrigerator. 5. It is especially con-
venient in recipes calling for milk.
The directions on the blue-and-
yellow package are simple and
adequate.

lent feature in a good newspaper.

To Show Chained Ballot Box

As far as suffrage Is concerned

a meeting of the District Central
Suffrage Conference, which Is spon-
soring the float in cooperation with
the District Democratic Central
Committee, the Truman-Barkley
Club, the Home Rule Committee
and possibly other groups.
Gerhard Van Arkel, member of
the conference and of the Inaug-

makeup of the float, which will be
drawn by a jeep. While the pro-
posed float itself will contain no

Russian Army Hints
At Withdrawal From
Reich Before Allies
by the Assosiotsd Press

BERLIN, Jan. 6.-The Soviet
army limited in print today that
Russia may follow the same policy
in Germany as in Korea and with
draw her occupation forces earlier
than the Western Allies.
A front page editorial in Taeg-
liche Rundschau, off1cial Soviet mil
itary organ, asserted: Korea is an
example for Germany-at least in
sofar as the attitude of the Soviet
Union is concerned"
1t said the last Russian troops
had evacuated North Korea Decem-
ber rs, and complete Korean in
dependence in a united state could
be possible" but for American forces
remaining in South Korea.
THE comparison between Korean
developments and those in West
and East Germany goes on" the
editorial declared.
Potsdam Pact Backed.
The Soviet army newspaper
claimed Russia would hold fast to
the principles of the Potsdam pact
for Germany, assisting all steps
toward state independence"
THE development of the Soviet
occupation zone follows the same
course as in Korea-despite the
contrary and sinister plans Of
American colonial politics" it con-
cluded.
A high American officer described
the Red Army withdrawal hint in
Taegliche Rundschau as "the same
old propaganda tune"
I'VE don't doubt the Russians
would like to follow the Korea pat
tern in Germany, but it's extremely
unlikely that they can," he said.
THE population Of their zone is very
hostile toward the Soviet Union. AS
long as the Western powers are in
Berlin, the Russians would hardly
dare to pull out of Eastern Ger
many. But it makes propaganda to
talk about it."
Lindbergh Draws Attack.
The Soviet licensed Berliner lei
tung attacked Col. Charles A..
'Lindbergh, now inspecting United
States Air Forces in Germany, as
having been an organizer of the
America First Committee (which
followed an anti-Roosevelt policy
and closely co-operated with the
Nazis."
It accused United States Army
Secretary Royal of sending "Ameri-
can Nazis" to Western Germany in
exchange for German Nazi special
lists dispatched to the United States

Ask Aircraft Pay
Minimum Revision
On Govt Contracts

Washington (LPA)-The "min-
imum wage" for workers in the
aircraft industry who are working
on government contracts may be
raised from its present low level
of SOC an hour to the prevailing
wage as a result of a petition to
Labor Secretary Maurice Tobin by
the United Auto Workers.
Hearings will be held starting
July 26 on the petition by the
UAW, which is filed under the pro-
vision of the Walsh-Healey public
contracts act that the Labor Sec
retary is to require contractors for
the government to pay what he
finds is the prevailing minimum
wage" for government work.
The aircraft industry, which de-
pends on the armed forces for a
large share of its business, now
pays $1.40 or more an hour for
$3.50 Of its employees, and only
pays one-half of one percent of
them under 95c an hour.

$50, 100000 Raid
Fought BY Labor

San Francisco (LPA)-A total
of $50 million was at stake in a
battle underway here between Cal
ifornia's trade union movement on
one side, and a combination of en-
ployers and insurance firms on the
other.
The states disability benefit pro-
gram has accumulated a reserve of
$107, ,000,0 for payments to work
ers when sick or disabled. A busi-
ness lobby, backed by the insur-
ance interests, is fighting to have
$50,000,000 of that given to en-
ployers.
Organized labor is attacking that
demand as a "hijack attempt" and
is insisting that the money be used
to increase the benefits to workers.
The state Federation of Labor de-
clared that this raid on the fund
by the employers amounts to "out-
right thievery by greedy and sell
fish interests"
