Housewives Prefer Glassed Foods
Mrs. John Q. Homemaker, U.S.A., is definitely glass conscious
when it comes to buying groceries. According to a recent survey by
Elmo Roper’s nation-wide organization, glassed foodstuffs are becom
ing increasingly popular. The study covered women from coast-to
coast and individual items such as fruits, vegetables and beverages.
Glassed fruits ard baby foods, for example, received the vote of 62%

Foreign Ministers
Clash Over Italy
PARIS. May 1, —(/R)—Soviet For
eign Minister Molotov an Byrnes
clashed on the question of fut
ure control of Italy as the for
eign ministers turned thumbs
down Austria’s plea for the ret
urn of southern Tyrol by Italy.
Qualified conference sources
said Molotov sharply opposed
Byrnes’ proposal for a single gen
eral commission to supervise the
carrying out of the Italian treaty
provisions on the ground that it
would be an infringement of It
alian sovereignty.
Byrnes retorted, “It would be
no more infringement than the
treaty itself.”
Molotov reversed the policy
followed in last September’s
Council meeting in which the
Russians voted with their col
leagues to set up only military
control commissions. At this
morning's session Molotov came
out in favor of no commission at
all.
