University of Notre Dame authorities said the youth, who Is a student under the G bill of rights, was back on the campus. But he couldn't be found by reporters. Love had been reported missing two days after he had told an exciting story of inheriting be tween $1,000,000 ana $i,:uu,uw from a great-uncle. He disappeared shortly after his father. Attorney Jack Love, said in Hagerstown, Md.. that the great-uncle apparently was still alive and that "somebody was ribbing somebody" about the inheritance. in-heritance. On Monday, Love said he had been informed by a New York law firm that his great-uncle, Claude Logan, had left him his entire estate of $1,000,000 or $1,-500,000. $1,-500,000.

In Hagerstown, Love's father said that he had received a letter let-ter from a New York attorney, similar to one sent to his son, reporting the death of Claude Love. The letter contained no return address, he said, and stated merely mere-ly that "Claude had drowned Jan. 10 while on a boat trip from Astoria. Ore., to Tillimook, Ore. He said the body had not been told newsmen, however, how-ever, that he had hired a private pri-vate Investigator to check the case, and added that, "The investigator in-vestigator tells me be got a telegram from Claude, who now is in Livingston, Mont., and very much alive." i . He declined to discuss the matter mat-ter further, saying; ! "This is Jack's affair.

Dark Bread Okeh, How About Some Butter? By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 Tru-man'i Tru-man'i nearly-white bread undoubtedly un-doubtedly is nourishing. Within Its yellowish pores are all the calories, vitamins, and chemicals a fellow needs. But, Mr. President, Presi-dent, how's it going to taste without with-out butter? That, sir, is the question raised by the big butter men before congress. They claim we haven't enough butter in this nation to grease a small waffle. The cows are producing milk contentedly and in an ever-increasing flood, according to Chairman Stephen Pace of the special house food investigating committee. The usual amount of cream eventually floats to the top of every pail What happens next is best described de-scribed by John Brandt, the tall, bald, milk-drinking president of the LaAd-o-Lakes Creamery of Minneapolis. "Folks," he cried, looking at the committeemen, the OPA ehieftains, and the agriculture department's butter experts crowded in the hearing room, "We have millions of housewives buying bottles of this cream and churning their own butter at the kitchen sink. And a lot of it goes down the drain. "Folks, there's something wrong when women have to get their butter that way." Home-made butter, churned in ter at 46 cents pound, wholesale, whole-sale, OPA. "Why should he?" Brandt asked. ask-ed. "Folks, he doesn't. He can sell his cream at 70 cents a pound. Then it's hauled from one creamery cream-ery to another creamery and somebody pays two cents a pound more to have it custom-churned, and folks, I leave it to you to decide where that butter's going." He ' meant that the cream bootleggers boot-leggers are doing business with the butter gangsters. If a farmer refuses to deal with them, he still doesn't turn his milk into 46-cent butter. "It costs too- much to hire the help to milk his cows," Brandt said. "Folks, he lets the calves do the job. So what Is he producing? pro-ducing? Veal." Butter production is lower than it's been in 25 years and unless the OPA raises the price it'll get lower still, Brandt added. The other butter men agreed. I could quote them at length too, as well as some army , gents, who claim they're buttering the peace-time soldier's bread as thinly as possible, but I doubt if that wo'4'1 help. All I know is that the lunch men are dusting of their "We serve the best oleomargarine" oleo-margarine" signs. Cottage cheese in paper cups is showing up again on the butter plates in the best restaurants. The senate once more is serving itself a peculiarly gooey butter substitute, which tastes something like apricot jam. Some of the whipped cream. Pretty soon this disintegrates into -specks of butter but-ter floating in a sourish liquid. Then all she's got to do is squeeze the specks' into a ball and her bread-winner gets butter, but not much, on his toast. She is getting tired of this. She says it is running up the electric bill. Mr. President, she doesn't mind your bread, but she's expecting ex-pecting you to invent a better way to butter it.

Feb. 20 Veterans are intensely interested in the all-out emergency program proposed by' Government Housing Expediter Wilson W. Wyatt..Here 6re some questions regarding the (practical aspects of the program and how it will directly alfect the individual veteran: Q. My wife and I are interested inter-ested in getting: one of those ready-made houses the govern-ment govern-ment is talking about. We have a lot out in the country where jray father lives. When we ran get a House about how much would one with three bedrooms cost? A. Under the proposed program pro-gram the house you want shouldn't should-n't cost more than $5000. This doesn't include freight from the factory and cost of erecting it, however. Q Suppose a veteran has the money and can buy a prefabricated prefabri-cated house. How will be be able to put it up alone if there is nobody no-body available to help him? A. It is proposed that before a manufacturer is allowed to offer of-fer a prefabricated house for sale he must guarantee to have the services available for cjelivciing it as well as putting it up. Q Both my brother and I are veterans. We have several acres of land Just outside of town. We want to have it used for emergency emer-gency veterans' housing but it doesn't have sewer or water connections. con-nections. Will the government help us get the utilities to our land? A. As the government program pro-gram now stands, it will be up to the community to help get utilities to outlying lands and generally to provide the space for the houses. But if your particular par-ticular problem, as applied to th? rest of the country, becomes serious, ser-ious, the government will probably prob-ably have to step in on that angle also.
