DKKKNSK 1'I.AN I'PSKT It isn't going to be announced, but Na/i propaganda m South Amer ica has upset U. S. plans tor an im portant new base defending the Pan ama canal. Plans hail been care fully laid for commercial develop ment of an i land oil the coast of Ecuador, to be followed by naval installations. But genial Jesse Jones innocently let the cat out of the bag. and the Germans did the rest The island is known as Alber narle, in the Galapagos group, ly ing southwest of Panama, a perfect location for watching Japanese ma neuvers near the Pacific entrance of the canal. To inspect it Roosevelt went fishing there three years ago, when the U . S. S. Houston took him 011 a Pacific cruise. Roosevelt had heard about the Galapagos since childhood. His great-uncle, Capt. Amasa Delano, put ir. at the islands on his voyages to China. And his mother, as a young girl, stopped there on a voy age to China. The President personally was re sponsible for the strategy of form ing an American trading company to develop Albermarle. He knew the sensitive Latins, knew that a direct proposal for building a U. S. naval base would arouse the old enemies of "Yankee imperialism," and that the only safe way was to set up a company for the development of fish ing and cattle, thus bring the navy in edgeways. Accordingly, the Pacific Develop- I ment company was formed, incor porated in Delaware, and financed with funds from the RFC. First it got a credit of $30,000, but later, when a credit of half a million was extended, RFCzar Jesse Jones inno- i cently announced it to the pressEj Jesse Jones' Joke. Apparently the naval stratagem : was such a dark secret that even ? Jesse, a member of the cabinet, didn't know about it. So he an i nounced it as nothing but a commer ' cial development, because the is- ' land was owned not by Ecuador J but by a private individual. And 1 then he added a little jest of his i own. "And if you can spell the man's name," said Jesse, "I'll give you the island. The name is pronounced 'heel.* " Up spoke a correspondent who knows Spanish well. "You spell it G-i-1," he said. "That's right," said Jones. "Go to the head of the class." "No," said the newsman. "I want the island." "I'll owe you the island," said Jones, and everybody laughed. But there was no laughter in the navy department; for German prop aganda, through short-wave radio and local newspapers, stirred up the old fear of Yankee aggression, in timating that a U. S. naval base off the west coast of South Amer ica would make little puppets of the Good Neighbors for all time. The propaganda was successful, and the deal had to be cancelled. It may be that the Pacific Devel opment company will still pursue its "livestock, fishing, and mining of sulphur," as provided in the con cession, but President Roosevelt's dream of a Panama defense base is sunk. MORE CRACKDOWNS You can put it down as a certainty that there will be other OPM crack downs, in addition to the one on the Chicc.go "juke-box" firm, for "bootlegging" scarce raw materials. OPM Priorities Director Donald Nelson said nothing about it, but he ! has his gimlet eye fixed on a big steel plant, an auto manufacturer j and others. Both have been secretly j ' thumbing their noses at priority re- 1 j strictions. The auto maker was called on the carpet by Nelson and spent several uncomfortable hours trying to ex plain the unauthorized purchase of a large quantity of strategic materi als and the action of a parts sub sidiary selling such supplies. When the auto executive left OPM he was red-faced and obviously wor ried. The steel company is suspected of secretly filling orders for big cus tomers in direct violation of defense requirements, particularly naval. An investigation is now under way. The company has a long history of bat tling the government and the fur will fly if the suspicions are sub stantiated. Note: After Nelson's investigators ! finish with their aluminum inquiries, they will move into chemicals, where I there have been numerous com plaints of wholesale disregard of pri ority orders. HERE'S TO BUTTERY FINGERS AND A TAFFY PULL (See Recipes Below; CHILDREN'S DELIGHT If you want your children and their friends to give you a rating of "super, then give just one par ty for children alone, and make that party a Rood, old-fashioned taf fy pull. Think back a moment and remember how you looked forward to a taffy pull just as much as going to a circus. This party is exciting fun because the children have a chance to help in the making of refreshments. Yes, pulling taffy with their fingers all buttered, and watching the dark candy mixture get lighter and light en each time it's pulled. They'll like this too, because a taffy pull isn't a fussy party. When you send out the invitations, let the mothers know it's a taffy party so the children will be dressed accordingly. Unlike many foods which are iron sources, molasses when cooked does not lose its iron content. If possible use a candy thermom eter to test the candy so it will be cooked just right, neither too stiff nor too messy to handle. When the candy is cool enough, cut it just the right size for small hands. The piece should be large enough to work on, but not too large. When the piece is light tan and very stiff, pull into a long strip and cut. Molasses Taffy. 2 cups pure New Orleans molasses 1 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon vin< gar V* teaspoon vanilla, if desired % cup water Cook the molasses, sugar and wa ter in a heavy kettle slowly until the mixture reaches 260 degrees or until a little of the mixture dropped in cold water becomes brittle. Stir a little during the latter part of the boiling to prevent burning ; pour into a buttered pan. When cool enough to handle, cut in pieces and pull un til light and stiff. Butter the hands before pulling. Refreshments can be simple for a taffy party, for children will be so excited about the taffy, they won't give their best at tention to elabo rate dishes. As sorted sand wiches will fill the bill perfectly and a hot choco late milk drink their keen, lusty sert you might will take care of appetites. As des have simple cup LYNN SAYS: Stop food wastes. Not only is this a matter of thrift but also a vital step in conserving this coun try's resources. It is estimated that tiny f<;jd wastes total up to a tremendous amount. Wise shopping will prevent buy ing unwanted and not usable food. The wise shopper should also recognize between good and poor grades, by reading labels and markings, and by watching the scales. Poor cooking causes much waste. Meat, for instance, shrinks when cooked at too high ? tem perature. Vitamins and minerals are lost when cookcd too long or when air is stirred into them while cooking. Use short meth ods for cooking whenever possi ble. THIS WEEK'S MENU ?Chop Suey, Rice or Noodles Bean Sprouts Apricot-Cream Cheese Salad Bran Bread Orange Chiffon Pie Tea Coffee Milk ?Recipe Given cakes iced with pink and chocolate icing, fruit, and of course, the taffy. Although the taffy pull will be the main event of the party be sure to have games planned to fill out the evening. Quiz games are popular and lists for these can be made up be forehand using questions on slogans, * kj-AMwiMnl lauiuua (A:iaunauuco, events, interesting facts, and rid dles as questions. Children will want some lively fun too, and for this you can have a sack race. The leaders of two lines of players are given two large pa per sacks. They place the sacks on their feet and at a signal run to the opposite goal and back, take off the sack and give it to the person next to them. The object is to se? which line finishes first. ? ? ? Speaking of children, are you hav ing a time with their school lunches? Variety is the big problem for packing a complete meal in one cream soups, vegetable soups, then again hot milk drinks for variety. Sandwiches are a standby, but don't get into a rut with these. Don't have soggy fillings. Wrap each one separately in wax paper. Favorite fillings include: Peanut butter and jelly Chopped meat mixed with may onnaise and relish Chopped hard-cooked eggs with bacon Cheese and luncheon meats Vegetable salad sandwiches Flaked fish with celery, lettuce Chopped figs or dates, nuts, moistened with orange juice Color peps up the lunch box, so occasionally pack a salad in a pa per container. Use fresh fruits of ten, or canned ones also packed in small glass or paper containers. Economy is highlighted these days, but it needn't be dull if you use attractively garnished platters. ?Chop Suey 01 Chow Mein.
