Army Cooks Improving On Dehydrated Foods |

\ s BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS U.P. Staff Correspondent < Washington, June 19,-\-(UP)— the army quartermaster * corps has cut down GI gripes by introducing meals ©f dried foods that are a little closer to mom's cooking. Dehydrated dishes during Wdfld 1 War II caused more grumbling than tough tophicks and cocky shavetails combined. To future soldiers. I can say that /you are in for some pretty fide rieals. As of now. I am pleasantly bloated after a completely dehydrated meal. The menu, from which we selected out* food consisted of: whole acidified eggs, non-fat (skimmed) and dried milk. Diced and granule white potatoes, green split pea soup, chicken noodle soup, onion flakes, sliced cfanberries, sliced apples, \and dry yeast. ; We gos to talking and a quartermaster corps officer who likes his job and would Just as soon keep it by remaining anonymous, gave me some facts about the improve- , meat. • \ dehydrated foods we used in tYorld War II weren’t too bad. but the-way our cooks prepared it, turned ’ the boys against it,” he said. "Looks are the thing. “I heard about a mess sergeant over in Korea who has the fighters on hisside because he had a course I n psychology at school. When Le served the dried eggs (as he almost always doeg) he leaves a few egg shells around. The Gl’s gobble their breakfast and run back down the mess' line. for seconds, as if they didn’t know the dried product from the fresh thing. “After the dishes are washed, the mess man gathers in the shells he found someplace, washesythein np and saves them for the next day. "This same sergeant discovered something else that has helped us. He works on the theory that any dried food is tastier and retains its natural color better if it is not overcooked.” The new dried eggs are called acidified because they are made slightly acid during the drying ' process. One result is to boost the keeping qualities three to four times as long as the World War II type. The natural color is retained, too, and the eggs taste more like the untouched. honest labor of a hen. ’- My quartermaster spokesman’explained that the selection of dried foods wafc made with considerable thought and planning. , ‘T’here is no sense,” he said, ••in perfecting dehydrated parsnips, turhips, or spinach.' The average ■soldier turns his nose up at these things even when he gets them light out of the garden." The reason for the dried foods in the first place was three-ply; To eave space in shippings to send

The stone structure, which has f been sadly neglected for a good many years, is said to be the first peace monument dedicated iu Indiana. It contains the names of Adams county veterans of all wars and was quite a project shortly after World War I. There < has been a lot of talk among different civic organizations during the last two years about the 1 neglect of the monument so the local Lions decided a ffcW weeks ago to do something about it. Thurman Drew and Clyde Butler are co-chdirmeh of the project. Several tests have been made to devise the best method of cleaning, the stone and bronze tablets. \ After using several acids and other cleaning compounds, chairmen Drew and Butler reached the opinion that there was tto substitute for wire brushes, Soap, Water and a lot of elbow greasb. So the chairmen called on the leftire club to "assist in the cleaning and every member volunteered to : do his share of work. i gll . The cleaning will start ‘about 7 o’clock tonight and if the work is not completed by dark, it Will continue to Wednesday evening. The monument cost considerable money when it was erected and for years it drew tourists to the court house lawn. In recent years it has been neglected and the rejuvenation plan is one of the Lions’ major civ ic projects for this summer.

France Heading For Wobbly Governments | Election Returns 1 : Are Inconclusive ■ I ■ ' ' I ' ’ I * I Parte. June 19 —(VPI- France faced the grim prospect today of a- new series df wobbly government as a consequence of Sunday's inconclusive general election. •; Almost complete returns showed no political party of group established a decision position in tne tjew assembly. The nation! |)as seen 16 cabinets collapse since the •ndtof world war 11. -4| Jj Immediate prospects were! that the middle-of-the-road parties would try to hold together their Shaky coalition government. ’ j | ; They will need the support of moderate rightist groups to control the 687-seat assembly. “Third force” leaders estimate such a coalition could get between 320 a|id 340 votes, j Unifficial returns for 592 seats show the following litle-ttp: Center parties 280.| Gen. Charles De Gaulle s extreme rightists 112. k ! Communists 108. Independents, aud rightists 97. The center partie* \include: Socialists 98, popular Republicans (MRP) 98i* radical Socialists and [rally of left Republicans 89. Backstage jockeying for a new coalition already was under way. Premier Henri QUeuille’s “caretaker” cabinet will remain in office until after the new assembly meets July 5. . • Factory Prepared For Tomato Season With prospects bright for a huge tomato crop in Adams county this year, Charles Cooper, manager of the Prebte canning factory, has started a ctew of men cleaning up and painting the interior and Exterior of the Preble factory. \ Cooper stated that he expects the local plant to produce 150,000 cases thia season. Last year, with a late start in the tomato market, the local plant had ah output of 63,000 cases Tomatoes were Contracted for earlier this year and a much larger acreage was obtained. The Preble plant will operate two 10-hout shifts this year, running packing machinery 20 out of 24 hours. The increase in output will necessitate the recruiting of many more employes, especially women, it learned.

Survey Shows City Is Richer Merkel i ■■ Buying Power Here Is Above Average \ (Special to the Democrat) New Ybrs June 19 — On the basis of money earned in Decatur in 1950 and'the amount spent in tne local retail stores, the city takes its place as one of the richer markets of the Halted States. This is shown in the new, copyrighted survey of buying power, prepared by Safes Management, covering every seption of the country. The high scale of business actlv ity in Decatur is indicated by the >10,397,000 in sales chalked up in the local stores. This figure was well over the city’s quota. It represents ,0074 percent of the aation’s business— mere than the .0049 percent that should be produced locally on the basis of population. r The chief factor in the bigger spending locally was, the better earnings of Decatur families. The data shows that the 2,200 families in the city had. a net disposable income, after taxes, of 97.326.b00. \Thls represented an average income, obtained by straight division, of |3,330 per family. The figures are arithmetical averages. it is noted and are higher than the median figures that will emerge later from the 1950 census, Which look into account only individual incomes under >lO,000. | The fact that the volume of sales locally is greater than the total‘income indicates that Decatur is the center of a large trading area, -j ' A guide to the relative economic position of each community is given in the survey by a “quality of market” index. This compares the individual city’s potential, based on population, income, sales and factors, to that of the rest placed at 102, or Z. percent above of thp country. Decatur’s index is the general average.

Theodore Roe, king of Chicago’s multi-mil Hon dollar policy racket, trading shots with three men who dragged him from his car. He fatally wounded one of them, police said today. Roe said the men posed as state’s attorneys detective in a manner reminscent of the St. \ Valentine’s day massacre, when gangsters ritasqueraded as policemen to wipe out leaders of a rival Chicago mob iri .the 20’s. He told John Walsh, deputy chief of the uniform force, that he fired five shots at the men and wounded one of them in the head shonly before midnight last night. A short time later, Leonard Caifano, 42, was brought into a south side hospital with bullet wound in the left temple. He died a tew hours later without making a statement. Detectives speculated that the attack was staged by a “west side mob” trying to take over Roe’s extensive policy holdings. Policy is about the only form of gambling still running full blast since crime investigating committee “put the heat” on bookmakers here. Roe was driving along somh Parkway, main stem of Chicago’s Negro district, when an auto resembling a police squad car pulled alongside, he said. 0 He said there were four men n< the car and that one of ihpm said "we’re state’s attorney’s police; Pull over."

The principal elements are these: Democrats Who do not want Pretl ! dent Truman again, Republicans L who do not Want Sen. Robert A. ( Taft, R., 0., independents who do , not want either of them, and other clans and groups less easily d» . fined. The mortality rate of Infant poll . tlcal parties is high.
