The ‘enormous publicity given out in the interests of curing infantile paralysis has made most people extremely conscious of the almost miraculous work being done among thoe sos afflicted. Medicine and philanthropy and government have all combined " in a gigantic effort to help in those crippled who are staunch in ‘their desire to be independent, normal human beings, despite handicap. ‘Rehabilitation workers have also made enormous strides in convincing employers that a pergon injured in the leg may yet have a good head and a sound personality. This is possibly a bald and oversimplified way of putting the problem, but many businesses have had definite employment policies revolving around employees without physical defect.

Obviously, all people are in some direction vocationally handicapped, since all possess different | training and capacities—yet properly placed, most can be satisfactorily employed. One famous industrialist alone, who has thousands of handicapped workmen in his employ, has proved that they are thoroughly satisfactory when put in a job suited to their abilities and treated with consideration.
Removing Prejudice
Clearly, these people have not made the manufacturer lose money; many of them have done better work than those not so affected, as in the instance of deals mutes, who Ringe, we jobs requiring great concentration—other things being equal. There are countless distinguished examples of vocationally and physically rehabilitated cripples, who have gone far to rem o v e deep-rooted prejudice against the acceptance of cripples: in normal society—the prime example being President Roose_velt. Actually, we ‘know now that we must welcome then into it, with the serious shortages of manpower that threaten us now and for a good many years.to come.

Giving the underdog a “break” is part of the American way— but in the case of the physically handicapped, it would also prove to be a policy of enlightened selfinterest.

DAIRY GROUPS MAKE APPEAL
Spokesmen Say Approval Of Increase Will Hold Off Rationing.
Requesting an increase of 10 per cent in the price of milk for Indianapolis milk producers, Carl L. Hedges, manager of the Indianapolis Dairymen’s association, today said that unless such an increase was granted, milk rationing is inevitable. : The proposed increase which must be approved by the OPA would raise the price of milk to 15 cents a quart retail and 13.cents Wholesale, a 1cent increase.
milk rationing is to be avoided, “something like this must be done to encourage farmers to increase and take better care of their herds.” The increase also would help meet higher costs of production, he explained. Below Other Cities The dairymen asked that the
“| price raise become effective before
Aug. 15, and Mr. Hedges urged the OPA to announce the allowance of the increase as early as possible so that farmers could prepare their herds and feed supply for greater

Indianapolis’ milk price has been about a cent lower than that of other larger cities, Mr. Hedges said.
| Louisville. now has a top price of 16
cents a quart, while Chicago's rate is 15 cents. C. Winfield Hunt, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Milk foundation, also advocated the increase, saying that he did not see how sufficient milk production could be maintained here unless the raise was granted. The request followed a. meeting of dairymen and producers representing about 5000 milk producers. in this area.

{1a concur, in Chief Clifford Beeker’s ‘recommendation that he ‘be demot-
ed to detective sergeant. Safety Commissioner Smiley Chambers, who cast the dissenting vote at yesterday's meeting, said he thought the attempt to reduce Capt. Mullin was “too arbitrary in view of his long and favorable record. Board President William H. Remy approved the chief’s recommendation, but the third member, Paul Robertson, was absent from the meeting. Mr. Remy said Mr. Robertson's deciding opinion on the action would be cast at a subsequent session. Howard L. Sanders was advanced from sergeant to acting captain to accept the post of Capt. Walter Houck who was demoted to sergeant, “at his own request because of ill health.” It also approved the promotion of Patrolman Oral B.

WASHINGTON, June 23 (U.

House action, he said in letters to the chairmen, “threatens to end the life of a vital war agency that enjoys the confidence of American workers.”

* (This is the second in a series of six articles on home canning. It is suggested that you clip and save each installment for future use.) :
In getting ready for the canning season, a careful check should be made of equipment on hand. If no canning has been done before, it is important that a review of equipment be made. You probably will need some new jars and cans. Discard old glass jars that are cracked and chipped. Discard old jar lids that are not in good condition, It also is poor economy to use old jar rings. Fruits and tomatoes are processed (sterilized) in a boiling water bath. A wash boiler, bucket or any large container is all right if it has a tight cover and is large enough to hold a convenient number of jars and cans and deep enough to allow water to cover them to a depth of one or two inches over the top.
Guard Temperatures
The container should be fitted with a false bottom or rack to keep the jars from touching the bottom. Acid foods, including fruits, tomatoes, pickled beets, ripe pimientos and rhubarb, are processed at or near the’ temperature of boiling water (212 degrees F.) in the boiling water bath or in a steamer without pressure. For canning vegetables other than tomatoes, a steam pressure canner is recommended by the U..S. department of agriculture. Because they do not contain much acid,
at a higher temperature than can be obtained in the boiling-water bath. Temperatures of 240 or 250 degrees F. are obtained by applying 10 to 15 pounds of steam pressure with a pressure cooker.
Eliminate Spoilage
Certain spoilage organisms, as well as the spores of bacillus botulinum, are not readily killed by boiling temperatures in non-acid products, but are destroyed by the high temperatures developed in a preseven if there are no signs of spoilsure cooker correctly used. If botulinum- spores are present in a nonacid food and are not destroyed, they may grow and generate a fatal poison, or toxin. In stating its ‘recommendations, the USDA made it clear that though bacillus botulinum is widely distributed in soils, the number of cases of poisoning - from homecanned non-acid foods is yelatively small, and a large percentage of those, reported occurred on the Pacific coast or in the mountain and great plains states. Outside of these regions, some state agricultural colleges, including Purdue university, approve alternate methods of canning non-acid vege-

\ Richard club,
Check your canning equipment now, advise government experts, and make sure that everything necessary will be available when certain foods become abundant in your garden or appear on the market. If you don’t have, and can’t get, a pressure cooker, better make ar-
rangements le ne one co-operatively.
Check Equipment, Then Study These Food Processing 'Tips'
these vegetables should be processed |
mend the pressure cooker as first choice. The USDA points out that homecanned non-acid vegetables . processed by the boiling-water bath method can contain botulinum toxin age. To be safe, it says that such products should be brought to a boil and boiled for at least 10 minutes after the can or jar is emptied before they are eaten or even tasted. Boiling for a full 10 minutes or more, the department says, will destroy the toxin, though not the botulinum spores. “It is the toxin, not the ‘organism itself, that is harmful.” However, The Indianapolis Times health expert, Dr. Thomas D. Masters, said in one of his recent columns that botulism has its onset 18 to 24 hours after one has eaten food contaminated by the organism or its toxin. He pointed out that one should limit home canning of the old-fash-foned sort to acid foods. With other types, one should use a pressure cooker. In addition, he recommends that any canned non-acid food be boiled 10 minutes before serving. Other pieces of equipment besides the boiling-water bath, steam pressure cooker and jars should include shallow pans, colander, quart and cup measures, ladle or dipper, longhandled spoons, paring knife, cutting knife, jar funnel and jar tongs.

CREDITS RUSS FOR PROTECTING ALASKA
CHICAGO, June 23 (U. P).— Postmaster General Frank C. Walker last night credited Russia’s resistance against the Germans with staving off possible enemy air raids on American territory. Walker, ‘addressing a Russian war rally, said the collapse of Russia would place Siberia in enemy hands. Siberia, he said, would afford the axis a strategic bomber base for raids on Alaska. “Our military strategists unanimously agree that a bombing plane could fly from Siberian ports to the shores of Alaska and return within 60 minutes,” he said. R Walker said Russia’s two-year fight against the Nazi armies had provided the forces of America and Great Britain with “that period of preparation they so sorely needed.” He urged that Americans lend financial aid toward relieving Russia’s heavy war damage and industrial devastation.

U. S. ‘BUREAUS’
Federal - Encroachment of - States’ Rights Hit at
Convention.’
By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer COLUMBUS, O., June 23. — The
‘| rebellion which: broke like a thunder-
cloud along the Potomac a few days ago when the house rose and slashed at the bureaucrats of two government agencies—OPA and OWI—has its counterpart here at the annual conference of state governors. These are two phases of the same revolution, expressive of an apparently growing irritation among the people at excessive centralization of control in Washington, with the mushrooming of federal employees which that over-all control seems to require. ‘The house revolt, which perhaps has over-reached itself, is striking at the bureaucrats through the power of the purse, by denying 4dppropriations.
Try New Solution
The governors, who have the same basic antipathy to the multiplying bureaucracy, are working at another solution. That solution is for the states themselves to reassume some of the functions which can best be carried out by local agencies. This is quite a problem, for in the last few years the states have relinquished some of their functions, through the press of necessity in depression and war. They are out of the habit of self-government. The governors here, Democrats as well as Republicans, now seem sincerely anxious to recapture some of their powers and responsibilities.
It is worth comment that no one, not even Democrats who lean New Deal-ward, has risen to defend the administration from the charges, repeated here over and over, that Washington is trying to do too much of the job and is doing if rather badly in some directions.
Criticize Minds
And their criticism is not confined to the multiplication of agencies. It is directed at the type of mind in Washington which seems to see no efficacy in local government, which scoffs at the ability of
The viewpoint of the governors here is modern and moderate. There have been no demagogic speeches. These governors look and act like businessmen. Consequently, no one here gets up to talk about states’ rights in the outmoded sense. There is a general acceptance of the federal government’s continued supervision in national problems which break beyond state lines. But there is a recognition, and a demand, that the states must share in administration at the local level, both for efficiency and because government: is more truly representative the closer it is to the people.
Points to Draft
the success of the selective service act and attributes it to the fact that the states administer it in co-opera-
and conversely blames the OPA'’s troubled career on the lack of this co-operative relationship. Preservation of this co-operative government is the objective of the governors. Likewise, there is a recognition among the governors here that states must take responsibility and exercise it, otherwise they cannot blame the federal government for moving in. On’ every side here, too, is a recognition that business and industry must meet the responsibility of providing jobs in the postwar period, lest they find that the government will do it and break up the system of private enterprise about which they talk so much.

Other innovations introduced at the summer furniture show include a fibre and glass topped table, a modernized wooden ice ‘box and a non-metal davenport | that opens into a double bed. One enterprising dealer with an eye to the fuel shortage offers a collapsible barbecue grill with a charcoal burner that can be used to heat a house.
SENATOR RAPS SUBSIDY PLAN
OPA Program Would: Make Congress ‘Reichstag,’
George Warns.
WASHINGTON, June 23 (U.P.).— Chairman Walter 'F. George (D. Ga.) of the senate finance committee today warned congress that unless it kills OPA’s rollback subsidy program it will be reduced to the status of a reichstag. “The program to roll back butter, meat and coffee prices was set up by the OPA against the known wishes of congress,” George said in an interview. “Any post-recogni-tion for authorization would be tantamount to stripping congress of control of the purse strings, and leave it with powers comparable to the German reichstag.” He rejected Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown's theory that price control subsidies are an essential part of hblding the line against inflation. ~ “Instead,” he said, “it is doubly inflationary. It feeds into the channels of trade greater purchasing power of consumers at a time when they are in position to pay higher prices. It increases the national debt by whatever amount is paid out under such a program.”
