Broilers, Fryers
Top USDA's Good
Buys For May List

Those popular young chickens.
the broiler-fryers, are due to be so
plentiful in May. and SO reasonable
in price. that the u S. Department
Of Agriculture suggests them as the
buy of the month for the main dish
at the family dinner table.
Take advantage of their tender
ness in choosing ways to cook them.
One of the easiest methods is to
bake them in hot oven This way
you don't have to stand by and
turn each piece as you do in fry
ing Brush each piece lightly with
oil or soft fat. Season with salt
and pepper. Place pieces skin side
down on rack in shallow pan.
Place in an oven heated to 400
degrees F. After 30 minutes turn
pieces and haste with pan drippings
The chicken will be done in an hour
or less depending on the thickness
of the pieces.
BroilerS are not the only plentiful
protein food expected on May mar
kets. Other choices are: eggs. tur-
keys and pork
Pastry cooks and biscuit makers
can take advantage OF the plentiful
supplies Of lard next month. There
will also be large supplies of vege-
table fats and oils for cooking or
salad dressings.
AS the peak season for milk pro-
duction approaches. milk and dairy
products will be plentiful
For salads. for snacks. for lunch
boxes, for serving raw and crisp or
serving cooked and creamed. there
will be lots of celery in May.

Turkeys
1t looks like turkey prices will
hover about their present level for
a while. as it looks like we will
have plenty Of turkey around.
Slaughter is up-and indications
are that it will continue upward
until about August. For the first
three months of the year slaughter
was running above last year but
under first months Of 1857. For
January. slaughter was down Ia
per cent. but in both February and
March was double the relatively
light slaughter a year ago.
But I total pounds available for
consumption will be less than year
ago because cold storage holdings
are down enough to more than off
set the increased marketings.
Turkey prices in Virginia for the
Beltsville light type birds were run
ming slightly higher for the week
up about IL cents at q "a to %

Iowa Beltsville type turkeys were
running 10 to 20 cents a pound.

Phonies in Securities

In August. Sylvia Porter, in
a series Of five articles. exposed
the grip Of gangland stock pro-
moters on some of the boiler
room" operations in New York.
Miss Porter warned investors
that a network of ex-criminals
has been operating" and she
named, among others, Carmine
| Lombardozzi, delegate TO the
Apalachin gangland conven-
ton; Stanley Younger. pistol
packing promoter of many
aliases, and Arthur Tortorello,
member of a Brooklyn mob
and henchman of Lombardozzi. Z"
Less than two months later
these same ex-convicts were
back at work and reaping q
quick dollar from investors who
were easy prey for the slick
talking promoters of the boil
er rooms"
In co-ordinated raids carried
out by 80 local policemen, FBI
agents and Assistant Attorneys
General of New York State, we
found Tortorello heading a new
and bigger operation-a million
dollar international stock-kit-
ing ring.
Pistol packing" Stanley
Younger was nabbed by FBI
agents in Philadelphia and
charged with the possession of
stolen securities.
Raids Net MundO
The raids also netted Domi-
nick Mundo. parolee with con-
victions for burglary and grand
larceny.
An old hand in the boiler
room" business, George Wag-
ner, also named by Miss Porter
in her series, was arrested for
violating an earlier Injunction
barring him from the securities
business in New York State.
Despite the efforts of the
press and those concerned with
the fight against these attacks
on our securities and capital
markets. new forces have been
thrown into the fray by masters
Of the slick promotion.
Within the last six months
gullible investors poured $780,
600 into a mythical Canadian
race track, lured by the fan
tastically false boast that the
stock was guaranteed by the

Queen Elizabeth would open

port. Mr.. Rutledge suggested
that the board chairman name
a committee of citizens to study
the project and he promised
the services of his company and
his general counsel, Pogue 81
Neal, in working it out.
Zone Is Explained
Mr.. Rutledge explained a
foreign trade zone operates un-
der a grant of authority from
f, the United States Government.
Within the zone, a Customs
Service bonded ware house
would be set up to which i'm
. porters could bring in foreign
goods without customs entry
/, and without payment of duties
or furnishing bond. Duty
would be paid only when the
goods moved from the zone
into United States markets.
Duty would not be charged
when the goods are trans
shipped to other countries.
In the zone. the importer
could process the goods, such
as cleaning, sorting. drying,
mixing or other necessary
steps. Duty would be paid only
on the saleable part left which
is sent into United States mar
kets.
Mr.. Rutledge pointed out
that 1850 enabling legislation
permits this. He said there are
four existing zones-New Or
leans, New York, San Fran
cisco and Seattle.
The Sterling Industrial De-
velopment Corp. would build
and lease on the land adjacent
! to the zone for the importers
and foreign manufacturers who
wanted to carry on assembly
operations next to the zone,
he said.
Profit on Leasing Space
The operator of the zone
would make a profit by leasing
space within the zone to the
importer or foreign manufac-
iturer, he declared. He pointed
out the New Orleans zone
showed total receipts for rent
ais, storage and handling dur
ing the fiscal year ended June
80 Of $261 ,469 or which $36,238
was net income.
Mr.. Rutledge declared Lou
doun County would gain from
tax revenue created from plants
installed and equipment placed
in them. His firm would also
have a lease for the improve
ments on the land, he said. He
explained the county, upon be-
ing granted a zone permit,
could work out a concession
arrangement to his company
on a leasing basis. Or the
county could set up a public
corporation to operate the zone
and pay the company a nom
inal lease.
/ The company also asked for
rezoning land on its property
at the airport for industrial
use.
