...times worse than a murderer. In fact a charge that he and an accomplice had once murdered a young Communist went almost unnoticed. To thousands of workers who go reluctantly for their meals to the Moscow Restaurant Trust the issue was: who has been putting hair into their cabbage soup, leaving bits of metal in their meat balls, giving them sugar with sand in it ?

Down to table at the Executive Mansion in Harrisburg, Pa. one evening last week sat Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and 49 other persons unaccustomed to dining on black bean soup, stuffed cabbage and hamburger steak. With many a polite smile and exclamation they proceeded to eat not only black bean soup, stuffed cabbage and hamburger but also cornbread, spinach, apple & orange salad, ice cream. Not because Governor Gifford Pinchot was serving them the menu did his guests exclaim, but because he had paid for each one's food (except the ice cream, which came extra) only...
