June 24. (UP) The Connally-Harness-Smith anti strike bill will become law automa tically at 12:01 A. M., Saturday un less President Roosevelt vetoes or signs it by then. There was no indication from the White House which of the three al ternatives Mr. Roosevelt would fol low. Some of his most influential ad visors are known to be urging him to veto the bill on the ground that it would in effect legalize strikes. Organized labor leaders also oppose it. The bill would: 1. Authorize the government to seize war plants or mines where a labor dispute threatens to interrupt production. 2. Make it unlawful for anyone "to coerce, instigate, induce, con spire with or encourage" anyone else to strike or otherwise interrupt Action in Riot Cases Detroit.

Assets over $40,000,000 Italian Colonies And French Empire May Have Changes Developments After the War of the African Dominions Loom Big in Post War Issues London, June 24. (UP)The cap ture of Italy's entire southern em pire and the possibility that appli cation of the Atlantic charter might bring sweeping changes in the French empire are focusing increas ing attention on the question of Africa's post-war future. There have been no announce ments or suggestions from official sources regarding the fate of the Italian colonies because of the in sistence of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill that no territorial questions shall be de termined before the end of the war. Meanwhile, the British admiral ty, as well as British land and air forces, are utilizing and improv ing former Italian bases for use against Italy. The war has demonstrated that the British bases of Gibraltar, Mal ta and Alexandria are insufficient under modern air conditions to guark-.9e transit along Britain's lifeline through Egypt to India, and the question of future trusteeship of such points as Tripoli, Benghazi and Derna is bound to be a major issue at the peace conference. The same holds true regarding Bizerte and Tunis, where British Admiral Sir Andrew Browne Cun ningham, allied naval commander in the Mediterranean, is at present firmly in command. Pantelleria, the Italian Island midway between Tunisia and Sicily, also fall in this j category and a realistic London ! newspaper letter writer has pro posed that Britain should retain the island after the war and re-name it Churchill island. All such bases might be placed under the control of a new world organization which would guaran tee their use for the common bene fit and keep them out of the hands of future aggressors. But the British admiralty might also be expected to suggest that, since it already is well installed and fully cf.pfible of operating such bases in the common interest, it would be more efficient to permit the British to do the job. Dakar, on the West Africa bulge, poses a similar problem. President Roosevelt is on record against even permitting Dakar to be employed again as a threat against the west-! em hemisphere. It is notable that neither Dakar nor Tunisia has been the scene of any French political agitation. Dakar still is run by French resi dent General Pierre Boisson, as sisted by an American naval mis sion. Both Britain and the United States are firmly against territorial aggrandizement. Both are equally firm against allowing the world to get into such shape as to make fu ture agressive threats possible. Therefore, the peace conference bound to face a decision as to whether to adopt an idealistic ap proach or to follow the practical precedents already in existence. Word From Son Ira Mumm, serving with a sub marine chaser somewhere in the Pa cific, writes his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Mumm, that its certain ly nice to get a letter from home. He states that he is well and in good spirits. So far letters from home have been arriving with clock-like regularity, he writes. Nebraskan Killed Rapid City, S. D., June 23.

PRESSURE COOKER The pressure cooker is the safest method of home canning. By using pressure, the higher temperatures can be attained. That's why the pressure cooker method should be used for vegetables and other non-acid foods. It is the only method which provides the 240 temperature required to kill botu linus. Your electric range is ideal for pres sure cooker canning. I WATER BATH This method Is probably one of the most used methods but is suitable for fruits and tomatoes only. The jars are placed in a water bath container which is deep enough to permit boiling water to cover them. Be sure the jars are placed on a rack and not directly on the bottom of the container. Your eleetric range makes water bath canning easier. J.JOME canning is more than an econo my measure this year . . . it's the patriotic duty of every American home maker. Uncle Sam has set the goal for home canned foods at 5 billion jars for 1943. That's a big order and a big job for American housewives. But if you are one of the fortunate women wrho use an electric range, your canning will be much easier ... no matter what method you use or what foods you can. Use Your ELECTRIC RANGE for all Canning. OVEN OR ELECTRIC ROASTER This method is suitable for fruits and to matoes. Your oven or roaster must be thermostatically controlled, otherwise high temperatures may result in food boiling out or in breakage. The even, exact-controlled heat of your electric range makes oven canning simple and highly satisfac tory for non-acid foods. OPEN KETTLE Safe for fruits and tomatoes only. Food is thoroughly precooked and packed in hot, sterile jars with hot, sterile rings and tops. This method is recommended only when other methods are not available. However, the economy and controlled heat of your electric range is highly beneficial in open kettle canning, as in other methods.
