Formoso Write-On

President Truman finally laid it on the line about Formo-
Last weekend when the President flew to Wake Island
to talk with Gen. Macarthur there was one fundamental
difference between them about Far East policy-Formosa
The difference became public in August when Gen. Mac,
Arthur, in a message to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Sald
that Formosa was vital to American security in the Pacific
battle line 5000 miles closer to our West Coast. At present
the Chinese Nationalist hold the island, and they are friend
~ to the United States; the Chinese Communists who want
the island are not.
Gen. MacArthur's stand drew a rebuke from the Pre-
sident. Mr.. Truman said Formosa must be neutralized and
its future determined by internationa decision-presumably
by the United Nations.
Thursday MI Truman told his press conference he had
discussed Formosas future with the general, but there had
been no differences to be settled because the administrations
policy had already been decided four or five weeks ago.
The question as whether Formosa is important to the
United States is a military decision. And Gen. MacArthurs
right to an opinion on that subject cannot be challenged.
Still, President Truman went to Wake Island with a
closed mind. The decision had been made-and it was made
In Washington This, a military decision, was made by civil
han p-oliticians-President Truman and Secretary of State
Acheson-without any consultation with the great military
man closest to the situation.
The President occupies a dual role. He is President and
also he is commander in chief. All dual roles are hard to
handle and this one must be especially so in these trying
days.
But for the President to go to an important conference
with his mind made up about the only controversial subject
to be discussed seems to be neglect of his duty as commander
In chief.
Gen. Mac Arthur at least deserved a hearing.
He might be right.

Bigger and Better Poultry to Come

KANSAS CITY.-Like the auto
mobile and television manufac-
turerS, the chicken growers of
America have a lot to brag about
in their 1850 model chicken.
They call this tender, plump and
meaty young bird the "all-purpose
chicken"
Truly it is, for the fine samples
on display at this Mid-Century
Fact-Finding Conference of the
Institute of American Poultry In
dustrles can be broiled, fried,
roasted or put to a thousand other
equally tasty and nutritious uses.
Modern breeding, feeding and
management have produced a
chicken of 1850 that is quite diff
ferent from those of Is or even
10 years ago.
What has been happening these
past 10 or Is years to produce
these fine looking birds? Plenty,

from the early grades on), an ex-
perience that encourages tnde-

In the youngsters. Maturity Is fos-
tered, too, as the children are en-
couraged to improve the quality Of

In the summing up, the PAM

labelling of ready-to-cook poultry
that may or may not have been
inspected for wholesomeness by
a Federal veterinarian. However,
If there is any evidence of dis
ease, the poultry is excluded from
all grade designations. Previously
the regulations required that all
ready-to-cook poultry must be in
spected for wholesomeness by
Federal inspectors. Under the
new program the consumer will
have the choice of ready-to-cook
poultry that has been graded or
inspected or both. The labels will
be sufficiently descriptive to tell
her what services have been per-
formed on the poultry she selects.
Second, grading and inspec-
tion in plants approved by the
department must be carried on
under prescribed standards for
sanitation, facilities and operat-
ing procedures. Two particular
points were stressed in the re-
vised regulations concerning the
types of grading and inspection
service available. In official plants
only carcasses which are graded
on an individual bird basis are
eligible to have the A or B stamp
of approval tagged to each wing
or on the individual package.
When it comes to ready-to-cook
poultry they are graded before
being disjointed even If they
came from previously graded
dressed poultry. Only such car
casses as are of A or 3 quality
may be individually grade-la-
beled.
These standards may not mean
much to Mrs. Homemaker when
she goes to buy a chicken for Sun
day dinner unless she is able to
interpret the statements contained
on the labels of graded poultry.
For years we have had grade
labelling of beef, veal and lamb
until most consumers are fairly
well versed on the subject. Now
she must add something new to
her shopping knowledge of poul-
try. She will recognize at least
one step toward uniformity in
grade labelling in that the design
for wholesomenesS is in the shape
of a circle as is true in meat in
spection. The shield will desig-
nate grading Gas United States
Grade A, ready-to-cook, stewing
chicken) and the shield within
the circle will be used to indicate
the product has been both graded
for quality and inspected for
wholesomeness.
In order to keep in step with the
times We'll need to learn some new
terms, too. New York" or mar
ket" dressed is giving way to
simply the term dressed" I'm
glad to see they are doing away
with the term "eviscerated;" from
now on "ready-to-cook" will be
used when poultry is processed in
such a manner that it is ready to
pop into the pan. In case the
term dressed" needs further ex-
PLANTATION, it Is used to describe
poultry that has been bled and
defeathered but which has the
viscera. head and feet intact.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

A letter from a reader says, st
have designed my own exercise,
lazy one, and believe me, it took
1l2 inches off my hips and an
inch off my waistline in one
month.
Here it is: While in my nightie,
about half asleep, go to the door
frame in my bedroom. I place
my back against the side of the
frame and hold myself in place
by pressing my upper arms and
shoulders against the frame. I
twist forward as far as I can and
then bump back against my right
hip. I get a twist at the waist
and reduce my hips, too.
II cannot take rolling exercises
because they make me dizzy even
when I take them slowly"
This is good exercise because
it involves a twist at the waist
and a bump on the hips. Many
women cannot take rolling or
trunk swinging exercises without
a sense of dizziness or nausea. If
you have this experience leave
those particular exercises off be-
cause there are many more to
take their place.
The door frame offers a good
opportunity for exercise. Stand
in the middle of the door. Extend
your arms and grasp the frame
with your hands. Swing forward
as far as you can with stiff knees
and heels on the floor, then bend
at the waist and swing backward.
After doing this for a while the
hips to the left with heels on
the floor and knees straight. g..
Then swing to the right, touching
the left hip as you swing to the
left and the right hip as you swing
to the right.
Exercise really is a very simple
matter If you twist and stretch
and take it slow and easy. You
do not have to knock yourself out
with exercise in order to have
to show results In health and
figure! e$>* &a

Mdkinoted Pot Roast

In Europe they have long known
the secret of making the cheapest
cuts of meat tender and full of
f1avor-by use of a marinade
Should you encounter a tough,
uninteresting pot roast on your
next trip to market, but feel you
should buy it rather than some
thing better, for financial reasons,
try soaking it in this brew before
you cook it.
According to the size of the
roast-the marinade should just
cover fink up a combination Of
lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, a
bit of red wine, a Glove of garlic,
celery seeds or leaves. a chopped
onion, salt. black pepper, chopped
