Hitler With Ilis Parachutists at Front
In this picture of Adolf Hitler at the western front the Fuehrer is
shown, according to the German censor-approved caption, with para-
chute troops whom he honored by awarding them the Iron Cross. The
parachutists are credited with leading the attack on Fort Eben Emael,
Liege citadel outpost. Note the crosses, Germany’s highest honor.

destitute war-sufferers.
The war fund goal was increas-
ed to $20,000,000 to help meet a
refugee' problem of "unprecedent-
ed and unforeseen proportions,”
William M. Baxter, Jr., manager
of the Red Cross Midwester area,
said today.
“After the tragic events of the
past weeks the $10,000,000 orig-
inally asked by the American Red
Cross will be insufficient to cope
with the desperate need in Europe
today,” he said. "America is the
one outstanding neutral nation
where these suffering people can
turn for aid. Unless their plight
is quickly relieved, there can be
little hope for these stricken pop-
ulations against actual hunger
and disease. I cannot stress too
strongly the urgency of this need.”
Early this week contributions
had passed $5,000,000, B a x t e r
said. Many chapters had oversub-
scribed their original quotas, the
majority had doubled them, and
a number had even tripled them,
in the face of the rapidly multi-
plying needs, the Red Cross of-
ficial pointed out.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
this week called upon labor “to
do its full share at this tragic
period in the world’s history.”
Other groups quick to pledge
support included: American
Legion, Disabled Veterans of the
World War, Veterans of Foreignl
Wars, International Lions, Com-
munity Chests Council, Daughters
of the American Revolution, Uni-
ted States Chamber of Commerce,
General Federation of Women’s
Clubs, American Hebrew Congre-
gations, Civilian International, B’-
Nai B’Rith, National Council of
Jewish Women, National Social
Work Council, the Order of Owls,
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Catholic
organizations, Knights of Pythias
and other nationally prominent
Back again in his Boston home, Rear Admiral Richard E. Bvrd gets
down on his hands and knees before a large map of the wilderness known
as Antarctica. He is explaining the many difficulties his exped.tion has en-
countered in establishing bases along the unexplored coastline under the
Southern Cross. _
Specialist Gives
Tips on Canning
COLLEGE STATION, June 14
—If homemakers are to have high-
quality canned products and re-
duce spoilage to a minimum there
are several problems they need
to recognize. These problems are
brought on principally by several
successive dry years in some por-
tions of the state, according to
Grace I. Neely, specialist in food
preservation for the Extension
Service of Texas A. and M. Col-
lege.
For instance, vegetables produc-
ed in a dry season have less mois-
ture content.
“This means,” Miss Seely points
out. “that they will soak up liquid
during the canning process. There-
fore. looser packs or use of less
fotvl and more liquid in the can.
should be the general rule with
vegetables during a dry year.”
Foods canned in this way. especi-
ally corn and root vegetables, will
keep better. The specialist also
recommends adding a few minutes
to the precooking time of veget-
ables such as corn, root veget-
ables, and field peas in excessively
dry seasons.

bodies.
Many Government officials, led.
by President Roosevelt, have made
public appeals. Throughout the
country state organizations also
are urging their local units to
help provide leadership and man-
power to chapters conducting the
drive.
Based on the quotas being
doubled nationally, many chapters
plan to conduct personal solicita-
tions of residential and rural
areas as well as business and in-
dustrial districts to provide the
entire citizenship with an op-
portunity to participate.
