ICINGS AND MERINGUES.
(Thanks to Mrs. E. S. T..
Washington.)
I have been wondering about the
readers who have difhculty in max
ing icings and meringues, even
though they follow the recipes care
fully. I think I know the answer.
When separating the yolk from the
white, it is important that the germ
(the small gristly portionD go with
the white; otherwise it will not beat
up high and light. I have been sur
prised to find how many good cooks
have trouble because they fail to do
that simple thing.

should be permanent chairman"
Wallace said that in envisioning
the situation in the peace negotia-
tions and the expectancy of the
common man in all nations lit is
unthinkable that Mr.. Roosevelt
should not be at the peace table.
He said it would be feasible for
Mr.. Roosevelt to continue in the
presidency while leading peace ne
gotiationS.
Obviously" he said, my plan
could not take place unless the
American people where for it and
unless the leaders of England,
Russia, and China were for it."
When asked what he thought OF
the possibility of having Prime
Minister Churchill as chairman of
the peace conference, Wallace re-
piled:
well. I'm an American"
II am not suggesting that this
peace table would insure permanent
peacel' he said This would be just
the first step"
He said he was putting the idea
forward because the United States
is looked upon with less suspicion
by the United Nations" and has
less territorial ambitions than
other nations

appearance tomorrow night at the

The swiftly gathering momentum
of the Soviet forces diving toward

threatened to isolate all German
troops in the southeastern Ukraine

German defense system before

Striving to delay the apparently
inevitable catastrophe, the Ger
mans were making desperate
stand west and southwest of Khar-
kov in the last German bulge into
the eastern Ukraine, where Soviet
progress was slow but steady.
To the northwest. the Soviet cap
ture of Bakhmach deprived the
Nazis of their most important
stronghold east of Kiev, releasing
RokossovSky's forces for a full dress
push toward the Dnieper.
The Russians also famed out
northwestward toward Chernigqv
and pushed southwark in the direc-
ton of Priluki, aiming to cut the
Poltava-Kiev railroad. Priluki is
about as miles southwest of Bakh-
mach. and its fall would cut the
last lateral railroad east of the
Dnieper connecting northern Rus
sia and the Ukraine.
Red arm% units descending south
ward entered the Poltava admins
trative district and reached points
30 miles northwest of Poltava, where
they joined forces enveloping Pol
tava from the east.
The army organ Red Star hailed
the fast-breaking Soviet victories
in an article asserting that the ex-
pulsion of the Germans from Rus

WASHINGTON, SPIT. l0.-tUP)-
The Argentine cabinet crisis today
confirmed belief here that Foreign
Minister Segundo Storm made a
major diplomatic blunder by in
serting an appeal for airplanes and
munitions in his recent letter to
secretary of state Cordell Hull.
Storm is regarded as more OF a
naval officer than a diplomat. He
showed himself inept at the fineSse
of diplomatic notes by leaving HIM
self wide open for a humiliating
rebuke by the veteran, Hull.
Storm said his country needed
armaments to reestablish military
parity in South America. What he
meant was that Argentina wanted
to keep pace with her rival, Brazil,
who is the recipient of much lend
lease equipment from the United
States.
FRIENDLY LETTER
be a friendly letter to Hull trying
be a friendly letter to Bull trying
to explain his country's determine
ton to remain neutral, turned into
failure primarily on the basis of
one paragraph requesting arma-
ments.
It was regarded here as a blum
der. first because Argentina knew
that she would not get airplanes or
