SCRAP TO J A P S

For years the Republ icans fought to place an embargo on sc rap iron to J a p a n . On J a n u a r y 3. 1939, Rep-resentat ive Fred Crawford. ( R . Mich.,), Introduced a bill In Con-gress to stop the sale of scrap iron, pig iron, and steel scraps to that country. Not until 19<1 did the ad-minis t ra t ion stop the sale of scrap. Th is was too late to p reven t the bui lding of the J a p war machine.

In the f i rs t eight years of Uie New Deal, over 10,000,000 tons of sc rap iron went to Japan . This amoun t would have built 20 bat-t leships of 46,000 tons each, 50 plane car r ie rs of 30,000 tons each; 100 crulsem of 15,000 tons each, 500 submar ines of 2,400 tons each; and still leave near ly 5,000,000 t ons ' o f planes, tanks , bombs, torpedoes and bullets.

Cassopolls Vigilant says; "Assuming t ha t t he men were

both guilty of the minor Infract ions charged , they still have cause for complaint because of the methods used to impose those fines, i o r they were not accorded a Jury t r ia l in

"The tr ial of all crimes, except in cases of i m p e a c h m e n t shal l be by ju ry . "

The Investigator asked one of these m e n If he could s t and a f ine of $4,000 and when told t ha t he could not the Investigator suggested a $2,000 fine, and the b u t c h e r re-plied t ha t he would spend the time in a federal prison If necessary.

" I t toundc almost like a miracle. Judge... how did we ever do it?"

"American industry did it, Sally. When the Jape conquered the chief natural rubber producing centers of the world they thought they had dealt a death blow to our war effort. But, in less than two years, we are producing enough synthetic rubber in this country to supply all our military and e&sentbl civilian requirements.

' 'Our rubber experts knew bow to make it but the most practical process at the thnft required huge amounts of industrial a lcohol . . . far beyond the already over-

taxed capacity of our industrial alcohol plants. So, overnight, our country's beverage distillers stopped making whiskey and pro-duced hundreds of millions of gallons of the vitally needed alcohol

"As a matter of fact, Sally, a high govern-ment official said recently * . . . synthetic rubber is from 6 to 9 months ahead of where it could have been if alcohol had not been available for butadiene production.'"

"Wc were really fortunate, weren't we Judge, to have a beverage distilling industry in existence... able to help perform this great wartime miracle!"

age; boiling vinegar too long; over-cooking, exposing pickles above brine. Once they have becme soft they cannot be restored to firnmess and crlspness.

Shriveling—Having the vinegar too hot or too strong when poured over the cucumbers causes this. Too strong a brine or too much sugar will also cause shriveling. Sweet pickles very often shrivel due to the combinf.ion of overcooking, too much sugar, and too strong a vinegar.

Scum—Top layers of vegetables fermented in brine will spoil unless the scum is removed frequently. If allowed to Temaln, the vegetables underneath are attacked and brok-en down. The lower layers of the pickles may be saved by removing the top layers, adding a little fresh brine, and pouring hot paraff in ove; the surface.

Bitter flavor — Generally caused by boiling the spices In vinegar too long or by using too mucto spice.
