SENATE CHIEFS
ALARMED OVER
HOPKINS FIGHT
Move Swiftly to Halt
Spread of Revolt
BY ROBERT A. McGILL

G.N.S.) Surprised and alarmed
by the Senate's protracted
vitriolic attack on the nomina
ton Of Harry L. Hopkins. Secre
tary-designate of Commerce. and
on the Administrators ill-starred
purge" of last summer, Demo
cratic Senate leaders today has
tened to halt the insurgency be
fore it assumed proportions Of q
major revolt.
DEBATE LIMITED
Originally content that the
former WPA Administrator would
be confirmed for his new post
after a brief furry of oratory, the
Senate leadership, after listening
to the debate grow increasingly
hotter for two days, and with the
end not in sight, obtained a limi-
tation of debate agreement, under
which no Senator can speak more
than once, or longer than 80 min
utes, on the appointment.
Ironically, the first effort to
limit debate was made by the
Republican leader, Senator Nc
Nary of oregon. It was quickly
blocked. Democratic Senators,
marked by President Roosevelt be-
fore last summers primary cleo
tions for removal from political
life and critics Of Hopkins WPA
Administration, which has been
charged with attempting to ef-
fectuate the presidential purge in
certain instances, hadn't finished
their say.
BALLOT MONDAY
It was plain that these Senators
had been awaiting their oppor-
tunity to vent from a national
stage their feelings about the
purge" and Hopkins. and were
not of a mind to have their in
ningS shortened.
In such an atmosphere the Sen.
ate recessed yesterday, with moth,
ing settled but the debate limita,
ton agreement. Senator Bark.
ley. Democratic leader, was con.
fident Hopkins would be con-
firmed Monday, but nevertheless
he set about filling his ranks
over the weekend for renewal of
the struggle. While he admitted
that opponents of Hopkins might
gain votes in the meanwhile
Barkley said not more than 80

minority since the New Deal came
into power, agreed today to unite
in militant battle against what
they regard as "unsound" admin.

session.
The decision presaged bitter leg

ing the session, with a possibility
that a coalition of Republicans
and Democrats might dethrone
New Deal leadership on some
questions.
PLAN OWN PROGRAM
Instead Of continuing their "look
and listen" policy, Republicans in
conference approved proposals to
inaugurate their own program and
adopted extraordinary procedure
to preserve party unity, in pre-
paration for the 1910 national
campaign.
With 1863 members compared to
261 Democrats, the Republicans
are outnumbered on a straight
party vote. In the first big House
battle over deficiency relief, how.
ever, the New Deal was upset by
a coalition vote.
Representative Joseph Martin
Of Massachusetts, Republican
leader. was authorized to name a
special national defense committee

President Roosevelt's program.
BIG BATTLE AHEAD

Prison physicians had hoped that Immediately
after the execution the pancreaS Of Of Chaleff
healthy gang colleagues might be quickly trans

and possible restoration of health to the ailing man.
Meanwhile controversy developed among ply

operation. The bulk of opinion held that medical
science had not progressed sufficiently to insure
successful transportation of tissue so highly or
ganized as the pancreaS.
LAW STANDS IN WAY
LaweS, streSsing the legal barriers said:
THE law is explicit in defining disposition Of
bodies Of condemned persons.
"It provides that after a man is pronounced
dead there shall be an autopsy, after which the
organs are replaced. Then, If the body is not
claimed by relatives. it shall be buried in quick
lime
"As to the question of removing one single
organ before burial: eighteen years ago the at

whole body"
Medical men pointed out that the pancreas is
q much more complex bit Of tissue than ordinary

Salad Russa Impressive

Here's new salad for THE party of the season. Salade Russo is im- pressive, yet doesn't require a lot of fuss and bother. Thick slices of luscious tomato put together with a zesty mixture of cream cheese and anchovy paste, nestled in a bed of crisp shredded lettuce-and just be- foreserving drenched with tangy sour cream dressing and sprinkled finely chopped chives. Doesn't that sound exquisitely good-and easy to prepare? If you want to go com- pletely Russian, fold little caviar into the sour cream dressing! It's a further decorative touch and lends additional flavor.
 Salade Russe
 2 tomatoes
 1 pkg. cream cheese
 Anchovy paste
 2-3 cup irradiated evaporated milk
 2 to 3 tbsp. lemon juice
 Chives

In America lemons are usually picked green and held in storage to color and mature before shipping. In Italy the fruit is allowed to rip- en on the tree. And of course any Californian will rave on to you about the delicious difference in le- mons that are allowed to ripen na- turally. A pity that we carrot irl- sist on shippers packing them both ways-green, perhaps for the undis- eliminating market and ripe for those who will pay the higher price.

Pleasing The Man
Making Him Like The
 Salad Course
BY CHLOE JAMTsON

: A well-known tea room hostess has passed on this tip for wives whose husbands balk at salads, and maintain stoutly that they just do not like them.
 x! Having noticed that cole slaw, pickled beets and sliced tomatoes were the favorite salads of the maj- Ority of the men who patronized her restaurant, she decided that there must be a reason why the let tuce salads were invariably passed by. Tt must be because lettuce is rather difficult to manage when it's nice and crisp and in the whole 1eaf," she thought. And next day saw the beginning of new green salad dish.
 She featured shredded hearts of lettuce with piquant mayonnaise; shredded cress and chicory and let tuce With cheese cream dressing or chiffonade. And was rewarded. There was almost as big a run on the cole slaw; the cheese dressing sold out the cress and chicory.
 There is something vastly differ ent about good forkful of shredded lettuce well mixed with dressing that has plenty of body and a pi- quant seasoning of capers, chopped pimientos and chives. It is some- thing to rn,inch and remember {. something worth paying for. If her experience is an indication, 1t should prove good solution for the neglected salad course at home. An easy one, too, for the cook, since shredded greens are much more easily served than whole leaves which must be perfect or they fail to please. Here Is a recipe for dres- sin8 of such salads a little dif- ferent from the usual:

suspicion that 1t is not a healthful food. Many people have labeled it "rich" and said it was not digestible. The United States department of agriculture in studies on human be- ings has proved beyond doubt that cheese is well digested to the extent of 90 to 99 per cent.
 Many old superstitioAs still per- sist about milk taken m combination with other foods. There is no evi- dence either in the facts of physio- logy of food chemistry which SUD- port the idea that 1t is unwise to partake of milk and fish at the same meal or to serve ice cream after sea foods. In fact, some of our best liked fish dishes, oyster stew, and fish chowders are made with milk: sea foods are served in cream sauces, and people drink milk with fried fish with no i'll effects. Perhaps this notion originated in the days when foods could not be properly refrig- erated and people ate fish that was not fresh, and blamed the i'll effects onto the fish and milk combina- ton.
 It is also thought erroneously that "acid" fruits cannot be taken at the same time as milk. Actually the curd of the milk produced in the stomach by mixture of fruit acids is finer and easier to digest than the milk curd formed by stomach acid alone. In fact, adding acid to milk is prescribed as one means of soft ening the curd of milk for babies, and pediatricians recommend fruit juices for infants whose diet is largely milk.
 AS to the foods which actually disagree" with people, authorities state that only @ few children and still fewer adults are truly sensitive to milk. Frequently it is a fixed" idea that may date back to some unfortunate experience with milk in childhood.
 The digestibility of milk has sometimes been questioned. How ever, milk is liquid which is quickly and thoroughly digested, 1t contains no roughage. Therefore it functions best when combined with other foods in @ varied diet. It cannot be considered constipating food.
