A DOCTOR NAMED Louis

A DOCTOR NAMED Louis
PaSteur discovered why.
Magnanimously, he said in
1873 that 81 made only a new
application of the method of
Appert."
Two months after M. Ap-
pert published his findings,
a Peter Durand, a merchant,
obtained a patent from King
George III for a method of
Preserving Animal Food,
Vegetable Food, or Other
Perishable Articles a Long
Time from Perishing or Be-
coming Useless" Mr.. Durand
added that he placed his
food in, among other things,
tin"
No one knows if Mr.. Du-
rand ever actually canned a
thing. He sold his patent to
the founder of the Dartford
Iron Works in England. The
iron works started canning
in iron cans.
Then, a william Under
wood arrived in the United
States in 1877, anxious to
start canning. He landed in
New Orleans and ran into
some people who were ap-
parently anti-can. The story
goes, according to Mr.. Budd,
that Underwood walked all
the way to Boston where he
finally got started, in 1919.
The first items canned in
the United States included
salmon, Holsters and oysters.

Unions Renew Fiuht
For Job|ess Pay Bill
Morse Backs
Labor Bid for
Increased Aid
By GRACE BASSETT
Star Staf Writer

Spokesman for 125,000 Or
ganized workers in the District
today renewed their fight in
Congress for jobless benefits
asked by President Eisenhower.
Representing union employees,
81 labor leaders appeared be-
fore a District subcommittee
headed by Senator Morse,
Democrat of Oregon.
The Senator made it clear at
the outset that he not only
supported the whole philosophy
Of unemployment compensa-
ton, but had to be shown local
unemployed should not be
given increased benefits.
Board of Trade officials. pro-
ponentS of much less liberal
compensation revisions than
those favored by Senator Morse,
will have a chance to make
their case at continued hear
ings Friday.
Present law sets the maxi
mum weekly unemployment
payment at $50 for a variable
duration of 26 weeks.
Proposed Formula
Senator Morse has introduced
legislation to boost maximum
weekly benefits to 81 per cent
OF the average wage of all COW
cred workers or 500 for 80
weeks. This formula would be
braked, however, by a bar on
any worker receiving more than
half of his lost wage.
The Board of Trade has sug-
gested a maximum weekly bene-
fit of $36 with no change in
the 26-week duration.
District Commissioners aimed
to compromise employer-em-
ploye differences by proposing
a maximum of $44 weekly,
fixed by formula, for 26 weeks.
President Eisenhower has de-
repeatedly that jobless
workers should be able to re-
ceive compensation of at least
half their own individual lost
weekly wage. The major dis
pute at hearings is over which
formula would result in that
benefit to workers.
Morse Plan Backed
Principal labor Spokesmen,
j. c. Turner, president of the
Greater Washington Central
Labor Council. and Walter ].
Mason, legislative representa-
tive of the AFL-CIO, insisted
the Morse formula met the
Presidents standard.
In 1858, the average weekly
wage of all employees in the
including Federal
workers, was about $1O0, they
testified.
THE Department of Labor
has informed us that a maxi
mum benefit must be over so
per cent of average weekly
wages if a great majority Of
claimants are to receive a bene-
mt OF at least half their weekly
wages" Mr.. Mason testified.
Mr.. Turner, opposing both
the Board of Trade and Com
mlSSionerS' bills, introduced 10
leaders of union locals. They
came today to demonstrate that
the District now has the second
lowest rate of unemployment
compensation in the United
States, he said. and that some
thing must be done about it."
The Senate in 1855 and 1858
cleared legislation to increase
jobless pay here, but both
measures died in the House.

The
Rambler
Hears the Story
Of the Tin Con
By JOHN McKELWAY

Walking past the National
Gamers Association, the
Substitute Rambler remem-
bered his fear of dented cans.
He never buys one-though
he has never known exactly
why.
Once inside the aSSocia-
tion, at 1888 Twentieth street
NV, a telephone produced
from some modern Of
ficeS one Nelson H. Budd, a
smallish, gentle man, who
said he was the director of
the associations information
division.
1t was quickly obvious to
Mr.. Budd that the visitor was
completely uninformed and
was having trouble forming
any can questions. So, Mr..
Budd filled in the gaps:
1t turns out that 1860
marks the 150th anniversary
of canning.
On January 80, 1910, the
French Minister of the In
terror awarded a prize of
10000 francs to a modest and
humble French chef by the
name of Nicolas Appert. The
chef had come up with a
method of preserving food
by cooking it in a sealed con-
tainer. The prize had been
offered IA years earlier when
the French, fighting every
body at the time, discovered
the big enemy was scurvy
and malnutrition.
M. Appert canned as many
as 10 different products, in
glass, then told the world
about the process in his
treatise, THE Book of All
Households; or the Art of
Preserving Animal and Vege-
table Substances for Many
Years"
He never knew why his
canned foods lasted. He died
in 1841.
