To stretch that food dollar, you

bles that are called for in these
casseroles. Yes, and what’s espe
cially nice about them is that
they’re tops in vitamins and min
erals because they’re fortified with
those perfect foods, milk and butter.
As you’re pouring out the milk from
the bottle, remember it’s just brim
ming and bursting with health-giv
ing qualities.
Here’s a meal-in-a-dish which has
a luscious butter and bread crumb

Can you name the one food
that does most for your body’s

2. Stimulates appetites and

(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
NTEW YORK.—In his new novel,
• “Storm," nominated by some
reviewers for the Pulitzer prize,
George Stewart notes that man is
24-Hour Alert in “al ^
Weather Building, a land an‘
Washington, D C. ^ve “om*
monly supposed. We live at the
bottom of an ocean of air but that
doesn’t make us a land animal, any
more than a crab is a land animal
because it lives at the bottom of a
body of water.
Dramatizing a storm which gath
ered up north of Japan, and clock
ing it down this way, and record
ing the resulting inter-play of hu
man nature and meteorology, Mr.
Stewart’s book is an incidental, per
haps not intended, reminder that the
politicos have been far behind the
meteorologists in grasping the lull
implications of man adding wings to
his breathing apparatus.
Francis W. Reichelderfcr, the
lean, baldish, chief of the U. S.
weather bureau, seems to have
had something like that in mind
for many years, and that's all to
the good just now, as our light
ers, on, under and above the
sea have the best weather serv
ice in the world. It was in the
serological service of the navy
that Commander Reichelderfcr
carried through his “air mass"
analysis which revolutionized
weather forecasting. Bringing
meteorology into focus with
modern communications, avia
tion and revised military science
was a little heeded but supreme
ly important assignment, and
Commander Iteichelderfer made
good.
He isn’t dealing bulletins the way
he used to. The most authentic
weather news now is low-down, deep
from Sibyl's Cave of the Winds,
slipped out quietly to the armed
forces and a touchy job it is, with
the seven seas to cover. The com
mander is putting on forced draught
the full 24 hours in the old red brick
weather building in Washington.
In 1918, the youth from Harlan,
Ind., two years out of Northwestern
university, newly commissioned en
sign in the navy, was sent to Lisbon
to dig weather reports for the wob
bly crow-hop of the NC-4 across the
ocean. Thereafter, joining the aero
logical service, he was the weather
consultant of polar fliers, gave Lind
bergh the gun for his historic flight
to Paris, cleared or held Dr. Ecke
ner’s blimps, served from 1922 to
1928 as head of the aerological serv
ice, and became head of the weath
er bureau on January 16, 1939.

he has been bucking congress, try
ing to break through the line for an
appropriation touchdown, and al
most always thrown for a loss. But
now, as Major General Wesson,
chief of ordnance since 1938, he finds
his appropriation upped about 1,600
per cent to around $5,000,000,000.
General Wesson, bulky, mus
cular and appropriately beetle
browed at 63, has been a glutton
for punishment, trying to get
goads and gear for the armed
forces. But he stands up well
under it, with no come-back oth
er than an occasional wry wise
crack. Away back in 1920, he
made an earnest plea for anti
aircraft guns, insisting that the
bombing effectiveness of planes
was Increasing rapidly and we
would be in a bad way if we
didn’t keep ahead of It. The
general might just as well have
asked for caviar and champagne
for the daily army ration. It was
pretty much that way for the
next 20 years. And now, all at
once the man who blew in Brew
ster’s Millions is a skin-flint,
compared to the general.
He was born in St. Louis, Mo., and
was graduated from West Point in
1900.
In 1907, he joined the ordnance
department, made good on his job
as a hard-working and competent
technician and passed quite a few
miracles in keeping the U. S. arse
nal at Watertown, Mass., kicking out
fighting equipment during the World
j war, with or without congressional
appropriations. As commandant of
the Aberdeen proving grounds in
Maryland, he spent much time ex
plaining to congress why the army
found it difficult to patch up old
Springfield rifles, or get its shoes
half-soled. In some manner or other
i he gets along with congress.

(Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.)
WASHINGTON. — The necessity
for having no strikes in defense
production, particularly so far as
airplanes, explosives, etc. are con
cerned, is of tremendous impor
tance now that Washington sincere
ly hopes this hurdle may be sur
mounted through patriotic co-opera
tion on the part of labor union lead
ers.
Several moves have been made by
labor which «eem to point in this di
rec’ton, and there is a disposition in
congress, as a result to pause be
fore rushing on to such drastic ac
tion as that envisioned in the bill
introduced by Rep Howard Smith
cf Virginia and rushed through the
house by a big majority despite the
well-known views of the administra
tion to the contrary.
At the time the Smith bill was
sent to the senate, which was some
days prior to the Jap attack on Pearl
Harbor, there was no probability of
its enactment. As told in these dis
patches at the time, the expectancy
was that the bill would be amended
drastically in the senate, and, unless
the amendments were sweeping
indeed the bill would be vetoed by
the White House.
However, it was pointed out in
those dispatches that the willingness
of such a large majority in the house
to vote such action, rather than any
legislation which might soon result,
was significant. This evidence of
popular opinion—for the house
more truly and accurately repre
sents public opinion than any other
branch of the government—spelled
the certainty that eventually, unless
labor mended its ways, such ac
tion would result.
Nation Now United
This picture is far more true today
than it was then, for since that pre
diction was made the country has not
only gene to war, but has been solid
ified and unified to an extent which
one month ago was beyond the wild
est hopes of the interventionists.
Casualty lists have a way of
smothering tolerance of the other
fellow's views, but one month ago
there was no thought of such serious
casualty lists at any time this year.
Nor could there be any calcula
tions based on the effect on this
country of the "dastardly” attack by
the Japanese.
Events of that attack, and off
Malaya, including the sinking of the
two Japanese warships as well as
our own and the British, have driven
home to this now united country the
truth about air power, and the vul
nerability of the strongest battle fleet
without air supremacy.
With that lesson pounded home
and clinched, there is going to be
very little patience with any strikes
from now on which curtail our air
plane production, or for that matter
anv other national defense produc
tion. Labor is going to find the pub
lic insisting that work not be stopped
because of any dispute over wages
or hours, and particularly over
whether this or that union has
jurisdiction in a given factory.

Help African Drive
Russian Successes
There are sighs of relief here that
the campaign in North Africa seems
to be going as we’J as most of the
experts had hop?d. The underlying
reason is that if it were not going
so well there would be a storm of
criticism because American produc
tion of planes and tanks had gotten
under way sb s'owly.
It is admitted that only the unex
pected success of the Russians in
the last few weeks has saved the
British in North Africa.
Had the uermans oeen a Die to
dig in for the cold weather after their
failure to crush the Russian armies
and take Moscow and Sevastopol,
they could have diverted such a tre
mendous flying force to North Africa
that the British would have been
stopped and even Egypt threatened.
Underlying all this is the failure
of the United States to get big pro
duction of planes, tanks, etc. under
j way earlier. Had that been done the
British would have had such ample
material in North Africa that the
mopping up of the German forces ;
| from Egypt to French held territory
in North Africa would have been un
der way several weeks ago.
Obviously the British have had su- j
periority. but not enough superi- !
ority to make the job a quick one. ;
Everyone expected the Nazis to put'
up a better fight than did the Italians
in the same territory last year, and
they have. In fact they have
done even better than the British
anticipated They would have been
beaten more quickly if the British
had been able to wait until more
planes and more tanks were at their
disposal.
But they could not wait. They
had to follow a time table set not by
the state of their supplies and arma
ment, but by the weather. The Far
Eastern situation »ay have had
| something to do with it, too.
