WHY is IT THAT PIE. the all
American dessert. has so wide a
range of palatability? You will
find it on every menu in the coun-
try. Go into any restaurant or
lunch counter at any time of day
or night and you are almost certain
to hear soldier or sailor ordering
pie and coffee. It's standard
staple. But lot of culinary crime
is committed in its name.
At it's best. of course, American
pie is something to dream about
and remember. Those two autumn
pies. for instance. mince and pump
kin. A juicy mince pie with some
thing more than raisins in it and
with just the right degree of sea-
soning. A rich. brown pumpkin
pie. with a proper tang and that
palate-pleasing richness of egg and
whole milk. Or raisin pie. with the
raisins definitely not hidden away.
one by one. in mass of cornstarch
paste. Or cherry pie. gently flow
ing with juice and not sweetened
too much.
Go South and you may be for
tunate enough to get pecan pie that
is neither fraud nor a deceit.
Pecan pie worthy of the name was
made to be eaten, not described.
Go to the Midwest and you are in
range of custard pies of many var
iations. And make no mistake about
it. the custard pie OF slapstick days
in Hollywood didn't come from this
area. Go anywhere and you take
your chances with that staple of
staples. apple pie. If it is right, it
is superb; if it is wrong, put it
aside and eat the paper pie plate,
which is just as tasty. Dried ap-l
pie pie, when it comes from the
oven of a real pie maker who
stints not on butter and spices and
saves the -four for the crust, is
perfection itself. And anyone who
can make a good dried apple pie
can work equal wonders with
fresh in-season apples.
This is but a sampling. 1t omits
berry pies, which are in a class by

local favorites, among thine being

the sweet potato pie such as only
cooks in lower Delaware know how
to bake. 1t doesn't even touch on
that critical matter of pie crust
But perhaps it is sufficient to indi-
cate the importance of the pie
problem. Ask a service man OH
leave in town-any town-what
he'd most like to have to eat. and he
probably will say. "A really good
piece of pie" And if the service
men get the pie they deserve, may
be some will be left over for civil
ians. Maybe some day we can
even persuade all pic bakers to
omit the pits from cherry pie.

NEW DEAL IDOLATORS are get
ting red in the face trying to con-
vince readers and listeners that
any one who criticizes government
tai action about lease-lend or any
other bungling at the expense of
this country is anti-BTitish, when
the British figure in the argument.
What they overlook, purposely.
no doubt, is that actually most of
these folks admire British realism
and looking out for themselves g.
and wish to heaven that our own
government would be as loyal and
foresighted for our Uncle Sam.
OF course the New Dealers who
have been more occupied with
ruthless political conspiracy to win
a fourth term for Mr.. Roosevelt
ignore this pointedly. To admit it
would be the equivalent to a plea
of guilty.
They know. as well as they know
their names. that it is not anti
British sentiment. except to the
extent of insisting that our Govern
ment shall be as much alert for
this country's best interests as our
allies are for their own.
No one surely is silly enough to
imagine that there can be anything
but AnglO-American cooperation to
the fullest extent in this war,
wholeheartedly. but on a $3.50
basis.
But it should be clear to anyone
also that one of the political tricks
of the New Deal government is to
use every effort possible to make
citizens of this country believe that
anything critical of the war effort
is an intentional or stupid move
that helps the Axis.
They would like it TO be believed
that only yes" men for anything
the government sees fit to do are
patriots.

MONEY WASTING of the peO-
pies taxes is beginning to draw
criticism from the people of our
nation. Complaints are pouring
in to the members of Congress,
and demands are heard that sharp
economy shall be made the watch
word. Failure to heed these warn
ings will shorten the days of the
Raw Deal" bureaucrats in Wash
ington. That this is being realized
by thoughtful Democrats in Con-
gress is evident from the quota
tions of outstanding members of
that body who are Democrats.
Chairman Doughton, (D-NC) chair
man of the House Ways and Means
Committee. recently said:
Letters and kilograms are pour
ing in with complaints of money
wasting in Washington. These are
from the people who pay the taxes.
They are willing to pay. but they
protest against such large amounts
when they think the money is be-
ing wasted
He hit the nail on the head when
he said wasted. But looking at
the matter from the purely politi-
cal angle. Republicans may take
heart at their prospects for next
year. Such New Deal tactics can
bring but one eventual answer-a
Republican sweep in 1914. Speak
ing along this line on the floor of
Congress, recently. Senator Edwin
c. johnson. (D-ColJ said:
Even a child knows that a po-
litical revolution comparable to the
Harding landslide is sweeping the
nation The New Deal is thru!
If the Democratic Party persists in
hanging onto its dead corpse it
will lose the Senate. the House. and
the Governors of every Northern
and Western state in the next cleo
tion."
The utterances of lifelong Demo-
Gratis and outstanding members of
Congress show better than any
thing else the way in which the
wind is blowing.

FOR MANY MONTHS. Americans
believed that. in spite of the mis-
management on the home front,
the New Deal was omniscient in
foreign fields. Then came the fol-
lowing reports:
Henry ]. Taylor came home
from a world tour to write Men
In Notion" a book that shows
clearly that American money, ma
terials and civilian manpower is
being wasted on more grandiose
scale abroad than at home.
Five Senators-three Democrats
and two Republicans - returned
from a globe-circling tour to make
the same report. citing a new bill
of particulars that should make
every American blush.
Senator Butler (RD of Nebraska.
returned from an extensive tour
of South America. with documented
reports of waste by our Govern
ment and the creation of a giant
WPA project to the South.
simultaneously, the President
himself proved that there will be
no change as long as he is boss.
He sent the notorious New Deal
spendthrift. Charles B. Baldwin,
former head of the Farm Security
Administration. who helped waste
almost billion dollars at home,
as Economic Co-ordinator to Italy.
Mr.. Baldwin is remembered as the
man who said he saw nothing
wrong with the Federal Govern
ment lending money to farmers to
pay poll taxes. although this was a
violation of state and Federal laws.
Next. the President appointed
Professor James NJ. Lands, for
merly head of the Office of Civilian
Defense, to head an economic mis-
sion in the Near East, although Mr..
Roosevelt knew-and knows-that
Dean Landis has been profligate
with taxpayers money. AS head
of the OCD, he spent more money
than Congress appropriated to him.
and then blandly told Senators
that he had been able to do it sim
ply by borrowing" from the Presi-
dents "vest-pocket" funds.
To cap it all. the President ap-
pointed Charles Pardon Me" Pol
letti, who, during short period
in which he was acting Governor
of New York, pardoned several no
torious labor leaders, to high po-
sition with the occupying forces in
Italy.
The American taxpayers can sym
pathize with the Italians.

RUMBLINGS OF DISCONTENT
from the Deep South and border
States. traditionally Democratic.
have caused the President to tenn
porarily shelve some of his most
loyal New Deal aides.
When arch New Dealer Henry
Wallace locked horns with Texas
conservative Jesse Jones. it was
Henry who was taken to the wood
shed. When ambitious Undersecre-
tary of State Sumner Welles, of
Groton and Harvard. tried to mus
Gle in on the job of Jeffersonian
Democrat Cordell Hull. of Tennes-
see. the Alma Mater and "old
school tie" business was forgotten
by Mr.. Roosevelt. and Mr.. Welles
was asked to resign.
Let no one be deceived that the
President has discarded the New
Deal or his New Dealers. Such ac-
tions on his part were politically
expedient at a time when the solid
South, fed up with the Washington
hitch-hikers on the Democratic
donkey, threatens Mr.. RoOsevelt's
denomination and reelection. I'm
fortunately. Mr.. Wallace and Mr..
Welles and others of their stripe
will return to plague the American
people if the present administra-
ton is continued in office after
next years election.
Again it becomes clear that
Fourth Term strategy is occupying
much of the time of official Wash
ington. And behind the scenes
Harry Hopkins and others of the
palace guard" continue to play
politics with the war.

One date farmers will want to
remember is Wednesday, December
10, 1943. For, on or before that
date all farmers with gross income
of 1924 or more must file declai'a-
tion of estimated income for 1943.
A return must be filed if the gross
income reaches the specified
amount of 1924 even though subse-
quent deductions mean no tax is
due. This is a question often asked
by farmers and there are many 9TH
ers which the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service in cooper
alton with the Federal Tax Depart
ment will attempt to answer in this
column during the next few weeks.
With so many farm people work
ing off the farm. the tax depart
ment has recently defined who is
farmer. A farmer is a person
receiving at least so per cent of his
gross income from farming. If you
belong to this group. you are facing
making a declaration of your esti-
mated income for 1913 and this
declaration must be filed with the
Federal Tax Office on or before
Wednesday, December Is. 1943. The
Extension Service has mailed every
farm family important information
about this income return. So take
care of that letter-it contains in
formation you will want. such as

BY SID FEEDER,


LOUISVILLE, KY, April 22.-The
boys along the back turn at Church
i'll Downs today were tabbing this
years Derby as a "two-horse" tussle
between Ben Jones and Count Fleet.
The Count may be the best horse,
they tell you, but Ben's baby-Ocean
Waves the name-is going to be the
"sharpest." And as result of the
way the Wave rolled in like a
surfboard on breaker to take the
Blue Grass Stakes yesterday, the
old battle cry went from barn to
barn, 'Y'gotta keep up with the
Joneses, boys"
There's no doubt that the Wave Is
as fit as a Commando right now,
primed by Plain Ben's training
magic for the race of his life, just
like Ben had Whirlaway two years
ago and Lawrin back in '38.
Ocean Wave Wins Handily.
The husky son of Blenheim II
came off the pace yesterday, went
right past Amber Light in the
stretch like guy driving a carload
Of gold going by a hitch-hiker at
midnight and hit the pay-off win
dow two and one-half lengths to the
good over the oat-burner which
nipped him in the Louisiana Derby
