State Department to sell Congress the import ance of using propaganda to penetrate the iron curtain" Finally, however, Congressman realized that the Russian people were being fed barrage of anti-American poison and that something should be done to counteract it. So funds voted to send U. s. radio propaganda abroad.
 Shortly after this the French, under pressure from Communists inside their government ordered the State Department to quit broadcasting from it's powerful Agiers station Of necessity the State De- partment has now turned to Germany
 We have ample radio facilities in Germany and expect to retain them for long time. But believe it or not the U. S. Army objects Chief objector is conscientious Lt Gen Lucius Clay, top administrator of the military government in the U S. zone General Clay, who has his problems, points out that propa- ganda broadcasts from the U. S. zone would be con- trary to the Potsdam Agreement unless the Russians are given the privilege of censoring American radio programs
 The State Department counters with the hinder that the Russians have violated all sorts of agreements in their and there is no reason why should continue to let Stalin get away with the claim, now taught by Moscow to the Russians and their satellite peoples that the Red army alone de- feated Japan.
 NOTE: The State Department is trying to overrule Clay, may win out in the end.
 The public has heard lot about feuds in the Truman Administration, but one it hasn't heard about is the first-class battle raging between Gen. Harry Vaughan Trumans military ade and George Alen REC director While it's friendly feud, these
 
 other cracking jokes for the benefit of their chief
 When they together in Truman;s presence, it's like minstrel show. Friends even accuse them of subscribing to joke libraries Though Allen has gained the reputation the chief White House jester, Vaughan tells a pretty mean joke himself. In fact his humor is biting and satrical frequently on the Rabelasian side.
 Examples of Vaughans sarcastic wit: 'The cock reaches in Gallinger Hospital should have service stripes because they have been there since the Civil War" Apropos of efforts to settle recent strikes "The nation is going to hell in handbasket." Asked how he felt while seasick route to Ber- muda, Vaughan replied: Fine! What the hel it tasted just as good coming up it did going down."
 George Allen, on the other hand, specializes in rollicking, parlor humor, usually telling jokes himself One of them is about his college days footballer when his team trailing by lopsided and of his teammates fumbled the ball.
 Pick up the ball and run with it." someone yelled at Allen.
 Pick it up yourself" Allen yelled back. You're closer to it."
 NOTE-Those around the White House say one reason Bob Hannegan isn't as close to Truman as he used to be is because he's too serious He's always talking to the President about ways and means of improving the administration.

TRAFFIC SURVSY NEEDED
6New Haven JournaI-Courier

GNeW Haven Journal-Courier)
 In view of the constantly more acute traffic and parking problem in downtown New Haven, the re- quest of the traffic committee of the Chamber of Commerce for a $4,000 appropriation by the Board of Finance to finance a compre- hensive survey of central traffic problems merits sympathetic con- sideration. The State Highway De- partment is to furnish a technical director for study, and after the survey. is to codify and tabulate the data secured Volunteers from the Junior Chamber of Commerce will do the actual field work in as- sembling information.
 Anyone who drives or walks in business hours through central streets must be aware of the traffic congestion and snarls that grow steadily worse. The recent designa- tion of one-way streets has helped visibly to speed up traffic, but more basic solutions are needed. Only in

the lsyht of an exhaustive and scientific study of traffic movements and destinations, interpreted by ex- perts, can answers be found which are more than palliative. Prompt and courageous action is needed to find long range and economically sound solutions of the traffic and parking problems. Further drifting will cause unnecessary inconveni- ence and business loss, and even endanger life and safety.

Illinois partakes of the nature of both East and West It is doubtful state politically, swinging back and forth through the years Just now it has Is Republican House members and Il Democrats. No Senate seat is at stake this year.
 Republicans must break into great urban centers this year they to capture control of the House This city offers test If they can make apprec- able dent in Mayor Ed Kely's Democratic stronghold of Chicago and Cook County it is likely they do the same in other metropolitan centers
 They are conceded good chance this year for some gains, though with guarantee at this stage six weeks before election.
 Democrats hold nine of the 10 House seats in Cook County, six in the city three in part city, part suburban districts, with the veteran Republican Ralph Church, six terms in Congress, occupying the other in part city part suburban constituency. An other Democratic seat Is in the East St. Louis, 22nd District while the state -atlarge seat is held by Mrs Emily Taft Douglas, outstanding Democratic leader.

 To their advantage also is the lively interest of the Cook County Republican organization in captur- ing enough county offices this November to spark real drive to oust Democrats from City Hall in next Aprirs municipal election. Ed Kelly has shown him self vulnerable by partly successful revolt against him for political control of the city school system which brought National Education Association in- qury, threat of removal of accreditation by the North Central Association, and concessions in placement of some school officials.

Publishers Swamped
As Textbook Famine
Hits All U. 5. Schools
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11-Schools
and colleges will be short of text
books at least until the end of 1946,
book publishers predicted today.
The unprecedented urge for edu-
cation has swamped the textbook
publishers, already running behind
due to paper shortage and made
quate press facilities. They say the
peak demand in September cannot
be met.
GIs are pouring into any college
with room for them, and II the draft
ends in May, the 18-year-olds who
now expect to go to camp will also
be lining up for the scarce books.
Technical Texts Put First.
Publishers are diverting paper
from other books normally printed
In an attempt to supply textbooks
for veterans in high schools, voca-
tional schools and colleges, particu-
larly in the engineering and tech
nical fields, member of the Ma
tional Conference of Business Paper
Editors said today.
AS a result, the shortage Is being
felt in the secondary and elemen-
tary schools, too, although enroll
ments there are foreseeable, a
spokesman OF tae American Text
book Publishers Institute said.
The out-size demand Is likely to
hold up for at least three years, ac-
cording to College Publishers Com
mittee, and the supply situation
shows little sign of easing. More
presses may be available in 1947,
but where the paper is to come from
no one can say.
One publisher reported that last
September half of his list of text
books was out Of stock and although
most have been returned to stock.
the limited quantities cannot take
care of immediate future require
ments.
Business Doubled.
Another said his gross textbook
business in 1916 would be 100 per
cent more than in 1945 but that
I'VE are running out of titles faster
than we can get them in"
Paper and cloth%for binding and
for covers are short. Printers cannot
secure enough skilled craftsmen and
during the war could not install new
presses and could make few repairs.
New printing equipment is still un-
available.

ness, suppose they'd have passed a
law making him send those new
teeth back to America.
But I guess that producer learned
his lesson, all right. Next time he
has a toothache, he'll hurry right
down to the House of Commons
and open wide. And he'd better
take an ice pack along If he has
to sit through a debate there on

BuCkWheat Cakes

Crisp fall days-lazy, golden Sun
day mornings! What fills the bill
better as a starter than light, brown
buckwheat cakes, the kind your
grandmother used to make? None
OF this fancy, ready-to-raise mixed
flour, but true buckwheat cakes
made by the old-fashioned method.
Once started, this isn't really any
trouble, for you just save out a cup
OF batter, tuck it in the icebox and
use it as starter for the next
batch of cakes you whip up.
Get the best buckwheat flour
unadulterated-that you can find,
and go to it.
Crumble y cake of fresh yeast
into l cup lukewarm milk and l
cup water, mixed Add a teaspoon
of salt, 2 tablespoons of molasses,
q cup of plain flour and a cup of
buckWheat -four. The batter should
be about as thick as heavy cream.

until golden brown on one side,
flip and brown on the other. Serve
these with maple sirup-the real
thing if you can get it or can melt
down some maple sugar.
When you make your next batch,
use the cup of batter added to the
mixture instead of the yeast-it
will rise nicely. Each time, save
the cup of batter and that's all
there is to it.
If you've some sour milk and
some pork gravy left over that you
don't know what to do with, whip
up some sour milk buckwheat cakes
and pour the heated gravy over
them for a tasty luncheon dish.
Crumble cake of yeast into cups
of lukeWarm water, add l cup corn
meal, cups buckwheat flour and
a teaspoon of salt
Stir in I cup of sour milk-use
buttermilk if you like-and stir or
beat until batter is smooth. Cover
and let rise all night as before. Add

little warm water in the morning
and make into cakes as usual.

Cooking Planked Foods
By the Chef

"A lot of men complain they don't
get planked foods at home as often
as they would wish-if at all. This
is probably because many a woman
is unacquainted with the art of
planking and because some male
gourmet has convinced her that it
is a mysterious and difficult culinary
achievement.
The care and treatment of the
planks is simple and cooking the
food on them is no more difficult
than any other cookery operation.
Planking originated among hunt
ers and guides in the North Woods,
where freshly caught fish and small
game were fastened to slabs of wood
and cooked at the campfire You
can buy. in the better housewares
stores, planks in all shapes and
sizes. They are usually of seasoned
very finely grained oak. Sometimes
they are grooved for steaks or plain
for fish.
When you get your new plank
home rub it well with olive Oil and
put 1t into a just-warm oven, where
it should stay until the oil has
soaked thoroughly into the wood.
