 In reply to the editorials request that candidates declaring that something must be done on the housing problem openly state what they propose as solution, the Com munist Party candidate urged treatment of the situation as an emergency to be rectified in the same manner that production rrob- lemS were during the war"
 'The Communist Party of Con- necticut demands the following: MT. Russo declared:
 1. All commercial building cease and the materials be used for hous- ing.
 2. Confiscate and requisition all building materials at their source.
 3. Place pre-fabricated houses and Quonset huts on every vacant lot.
 These things can be done in Connecticut because we are yet in state of war and no special legislation is required at this time" :"

Russo, also demanded that money for Federal housing be obtained by using part of the $13,- 000, 100000 earmarked for national defense. Defense begins at home. :" he said.

Suggestions  Chickens
MIRIAM WEINRIB Waterbury Nutrition Councel


 Here are some suggestions about the cooking of chicken and other young birds.
 In broiling, the heat should be moderate, for slow even cooking. Always start cooking the chicken with the skin side away from the heat. Remember to keep the heat very moderate and to have the meat several inches from the flame or heating element. Turn the chicken several times as 1t browns, and baste frequently with the pan drippings or with other melted fat. A 2-pound chicken (dressed weight) when broiled at moderate heat will prob ably need from 35 to 45 minute to cook evenly to the bone. And here's an idea which may appeal to many cooks . . if more conven- tent, cook the chicken partly done in the broiler and finish in a mod- crate oven (3O0 to $50 degrees F.) !, or start it in a moderate oven and finish under the broiler.
 To pap-fry chicken in shallow fat, it's necessary to use a heavy frying pan, with about a half inch of fat, hot but not smoking. Put the thickest pieces of chicken in the pan first, leaving space for the fat to come up around each piece. Cover the pan and cook at a moderate heat, turning when brown. The thickest pieces of 3-pound chicken (dressed weight) usually needs from 20 to 25 minutes to cook done to the bone if fried entirely on the top of the stove. A good method when frying several birds, or when pan space is limited, is to remove the pieces from the frying pan before they're entirely done, and finish cooking in a moderate oven.
