Outer Lettuce Leaves Rescued Garbage Has Vitamin A
Washington, (INS)—Tons of lettuce leaves, hitherto useless, will soon be converted into vitally needed vitamin A, it was learned today.
By means of a newly developed process, chemical engineer Jorgen D. Bering of Los Angeles hopes to transform outer let-
By means of a newly develop Jorgen D. Bering of Los Angelesuce leaves—now thrown away for beauty's sake—into carotene, or pro-vitamin A.
Bering's scheme has the federal government's approval. His idea was encouraged by the food distribution administration and the WPB has granted him priorities for construction of a west coast plant.
The Bering plant, privately financed, will begin production in May and will be able to handle 250 tons of once-discarded leaves daily.
Already used to fortify milk and to color butter and margarine, carotene is a valuable human and livestock feed, experts said. And lettuce's outer leaves are much richer in carotene than the leaves housewives buy at the corner store.
London, (INS)—The Polish government today reaffirmed its policy of seeking a friendly understanding with Russia after a cabinet meeting which followed a conference of British and Polish officials.
British, Polish Officials Confer
Immediate reaction in Soviet circles was that the Polish reaffirmation offered no new means of approach toward settlement of the delicate situation.
As if in response to reports that Moscow would be more willing to reopen diplomatic relations if a new government were formed, however, the statement said that the present regime has the full support of the Polish nation.
The statement was issued after a meeting of the cabinet which was preceded by a conference at 10 Downing street, attended by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, Premier Gen. Wiladyslaw and Foreign Ministre Count Edward Raezynski.

OPA Personnel May Be Changed
Washington, (INS)—A personnel shakeup in OPA was indicated yesterday in Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown's refusal to submit to the War Manpower Commission a list of deferrable personnel at this time.
Brown disclosed he would delay submission of a list of the agency's key personnel pending completion of a reorganization survey currently being made by former senator Clyde Herring, administrative assistant to Brown.
In a memorandum to all OPA department heads, Brown said:
Smart Sergeant
Uses Own Text
Albuquerque, N. M., (ACP) — After the army air corps announced it would train meteorological students at the University of New Mexico, the faculty of the English department prepared for the customary tussle with comma splices, dangling participles, and split infinitives.
Dr. T. M. Pearce, head of the department, outlined the "Written and Oral Communication" courses for the soldiers, and waved before his colleagues a military phamphlet on military 'correspondence form, mentioning it as one of the text-books to be used.
A few minutes later Sgt. Clarence H. Grasso approached Dr. Pearce apologetically, "Would it be proper for me to introduce myself?" he asked. "I helped to write the army book you mentioned that we are going to use in class."
Fossil, Skull Added To Dyche Collection

The fossils were found within two or three miles of each other in the
President Orders Mine Workers To End Strike
Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt today ordered striking miners of John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers union to end their "strike against the United States government" by Saturday morning at 10 a.m. or face a declaration of martial law and the use of troops.
Mr. Roosevelt, in telegrams to Lewis and Thomas Kennedy, UMW, secretary, said that he was making a friendly appeal to miners now on strike to get back into the coal pits. But the fact that he set a 10 o'clock Saturday deadline made the appeal tantamount to a flat ultimatum. If the miners reject the appeal, the president warned:
"I shall use all the power vested in me as president and as commander-in-chief of the army and navy to protect the national interest and to prevent further interference with the successful prosecution of the war."
White river deposits near Scenic, S.D. They were given to the University by Mr.J.M.Jewett of the Kansas Geological Survey.
The anterior part of the lower jaw of a pleistocene mastodon was also given to the University by Mr. Lee Larrabee, chairman of the Kansas forestry, fish and game commission of Liberal, Kansas, where the jaw was found.

This is why we ask... "GIVE SOLDIERS A BREAK AT 7"
It's like this after 7 every evening . . . at every soldier's or sailor's telephone center in army camps and naval bases in the United States. The boys wait . . . while telephone attendants try to thread long distance calls through a network carrying capacity traffic in all directions.
If you will make none but urgent long distance calls between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m., you can be sure you are helping to clear the lines so that many an anxious lad in barracks can have a telephone visit with the folks he's fighting for.
