Filly Files Of Dobbin Nag Steaks In
Los Angeles, (INS)—Filet of Dobbin appeared for the first time yesterday on the dinner tables of Southern California gourments as a former dog food concern began peddling state-inspected horsemeat for human consumption.
The filly filets are ballyhooed by optimistic packers as being "cleaner, leaner and richer than beef." Three shops in Los Angeles county, dealing exclusively in choice cuts of horse, opened doors for business without benefit of an OPA ceiling. As president of the Victory Packing company, Hirsch considers himself a pioneer in patriotism.
Clement L. Hirsch, originator of the California Black Beauty market, declared that the best nag steaks were comparable to the finest New York cuts of beef.
"We haven't been able to get ceiling prices from the office of price administration," he said. "So we're selling horseburger for 25 cents a pound. Other prices vary."
Horse sirloin and T-bones, for instance, range in price up to 50 cents a pound.
As president of the Victory Packing company, Hirsch considers himself a pioneer in patriotically solving the acute West Coast meat shortage. His horsemeat slaughterhouse, he claimed, is the first on the Pacific coast. (One horsemarket has been operating in San Francisco—with the meat imported from points east.)

Industrial Development Commission Receives Grant
Topeka, Kan., (INS ) —The Kansas industrial development commission today was granted $200,000 to encourage inventors to develop devices to be used in promoting the use of Kansas products in industrial enterprises.

Eden Opposes Post-War Plans
Washington, (INS) — Anthony Eden. British foreign secretary, told a group of high-ranking senators and congressmen today that he is opposed to the United Nations drafting a blue print of peace and post-war plans at this time.
This was revealed by Sen. Henrik Shipstead (R) Minn., who attended the conference.
Eden, Shipstead said, "gave diplomatic answers to diplomatic questions" during his conference at the capitol. Those present declined to discuss details of the conference.
Collegiate School of Nursing
"It was my impression that Mr. Eden believes that it would not be wise for the United Nations at this stage of the war to attempt to draw up the details of a peace program for a post-war program," said Shipstead.
Colby college recently established a collegiate school of nursing and a course for hospital technicians.
They Don't Twink
Stars Blink
Chicago, Ill., (ACP)—Yawning away their span of life, the vast systems of stars are undergoing a slow process of "relaxation," according to a theory presented by Professor Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar of the University of Chicago.
The stars' manner of relaxing is different, to say the least. No masseur's rhythmic pat—but the traffic on the heavenly highways slows down these stellar "bundles of nerves."
"Any given star," Dr. Chandrasekhar said, "because of occasional near misses while passing other stars, gradually will lose energy deflecting slower moving stars from their paths."
The systems, he said, spend a "lifetime" becoming relaxed. And what a life—10 trillion years for the Milky Way, the scientist believes. Its present age is 3,000,000,000 years—still in kindergarten.
