Department had taken corrective action in response to almost all suggestions based on its survey of 89 hospital in 20 states and the District of Columbia The report listed 28 specific cases referred to the department tut did not name hospitals involved. “Whatever may have been the situation prior to the committee’s investigations,” it said, ‘with few exceptions the results following the investigation have been decidedly reassuring.” The committee said hospital buildings in general received proper care but that some ha-1 uncovered pine floors and some needed paint and connecting passageways between ward buildings and main buildings. Although several of the 28 cited cases referred to inadequate fire prevention equipment, the committee said the equipment generally appeared adequate and efficient since it had not learned of any conflagrations at army hosiptals. Several of the listed cases referred to inadequate air conditioning and ventilation during hot weather. The committee said conditioning systems had been installed in some buildings, where the need was acute, as a result of its work. The report told of one nonfireproof building dating “back to the Civil war period’’ with bedridden patients on the second and third floors. Another had no fire-fighting equipment except hand extinguishers and had only a single exit on the second

floor.

Report Made On Hospital Probe WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.— (UP)—The House military affairs committee today reported “reassuring” results from its long investigation of army hospitals which in one instance found patients being served storage eggs generously covered with catsup to “disguise their evil taste." The committee said the War

disguise their evil taste.” Another hospital had a mess hall 12 feet long to serve 400 patients and civilians, some of whom had to wait in line 45 to 60 minutes. The report cited several instances where hospitals were closed or not used to maximum capacity "despite overcrowded conditions elsewhere.” These included one with 1,495 beds which was closed this month and another with 175 beds which was closed after two years during which $250,000 had been paid to the owner for space rental.

Clean, sanitary meat and proper handling during canning are the chief factors needed ta Insure one that canned meats

will “keep.”

Canning starts with the precooking of the chilled meat. The pre-cooking may be done either by simmering the meat in water for 12 to 20 minutes or by cooking it in the oven (350 F.) until the red color almost disappears at the center. It is never desirable to pre-cook the meat by coating it with flour and browning in fat. The flour slows down the processing of the meat and may cause spoilage: and this Method of pre-cooping is likely to cause a stale flavor to develop in the meat during storage. After pre-cooking, the hot meat should be placed in clean, hot jars. A teaspoon of salt is needed to season each quart of meat. When the jars are filled,

ticles.

To Be Lower

Income from farm marketings of livestock as well as the amount of meat available to consumers will be reduced materlally In 1940 as the result of adjustments made necessary by farmers during the past year to feed and martlet price conditions, says M. P. Mitchell, PurdUe University extension marketing specialist. While supplies of most meats will doubtless be reduced In the coming year, civilian demand will likely continue St high levels In l.ne with the high Incomes of the American wage earner. Improper balance* between supply and demand may lead to S restoration of rttioniiig of most meats. In general, full of near celling prices are in prospect for all classes of meat animals during most of 1946. The supply and demand eondittons, Mitchell said, are best summarized by class of

livestock as follows:

Hits Shutdown By War Plants INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 27 — Albert O. Evans, district manag- | cr of the War Production board here, criticized today what he termed were preparations of war plants to shut down for A lengthy New Year’s holiday. Evans said, “preliminary reports Indicate many plants are preparing to shut down Saturday, Dec. 30 and not reopen until Tuesday, Jan. 2, some of this is disguised as taking Inventory; others are doing it at the re-

quest of labor.”

Special appeals, Evans asserted, for full production just as on any other normal week-end have been issued by Chairman J. A. Krug of the WPA and high

military officers.
