IN PEACE STYMIE
Chinese Communist Leader
Sees Chance OF Unified
Nation Yet

NANK1NG, Aug. 2s.oR-Blame
for the stalled Chinese peace nego-
tiations was placed on the United
States Monday by Chou En-L'al,
chief Communist negotiator, VINO
n%onetheless still saw a possibility
of welding a unified China through
existing negotiating machinery.
In a lengthy conference with
foreign newsmen, Chou declared
the American policy of supporting
the Chang government was to
blame for the failure of General
Marshall and Ambassador John
Leighton Stuart to mediate the
civil dispute.
He admitted. however, that the
conferences had reached an I'M
passe over the Nationalist demand
that the Communists abandon mill
tary and political control owe
large areas of North China.
Demands Order
Chou offered Communist partici-
patton in parleys to reorganize the
government in return for an iron
clad guarantee from Chang Kai-
Shek of a nationwide c%easefire
order to halt civil battling.
He asserted the Kuomintang
government party wants war,
not peace" and reiterated what
he called the Unreasonable de-
mands'' of Chang for Communist
surrender of the liberated areas in
North China.
Chou said the Kuomintang had
failed in 20 years to obtain its
objective of discriminating the
Communists by force and would
be unable to do so in the next 20
years" He added:
THE full powers of the liberated
areas will be modified if neces-
sary to utterly defeat the Kuomin-
tang's policy"
Chou did not suggest scrapping
the present negotiating machinery.
He said it has mot entirely lost
the possibility of being effective"
he did not elaborate on that point.
Asked if the Communists plan
ned to appeal to other nations for
mediation, Chou replied:
1--WE expect to appeal to the
whole world if the negotiations are
broken off by Kuomintang attacks.
First We will appeal to public opin-
ion. The appeal will be heard by
all peace-minded peoples as well
as by the governments which are
members of the United Nations
Even a. Chou spoke, tension
mounted in Manchuria where gov
eminent and Communist armies
were reported moving into. new
battle positions. Government rein
forcemenfs were speeding toward
Tiehling, important station on the
strategic Mukden-Changchun rail-
road, which had been isolated by a
surprise Communist attack.

August to submerge a 6O-year-old
Wilmington rainfall record and per-
haps Wilmington itself, Paul Hess,

a total of 34.31 inches of rain which
fell from June l to August 81 OF
that damp, dismal year.
So far, from June ! to midnight
last night in the similar damp and

Unusual Dish
By The Chef

One OF the great houses in Wash
ington boasts a marvellous chef and
guests lucky enough to be on the
invitation list for luncheons or din
nefs have learned to look forward to
his delicious dishes. One, served
often for luncheons, consists Of
chicken livers in special sauce, and
you can serve it yourself, providing
you can get the chicken hvers. The
secret of its successlies in the skill
full blending Of the sauce-a rite
which the chef permitted me to
witness SO that I could pass the
recipe along to you.
First soak q couple Of dozen chick
en- hvers for Is minutes in cold wa
ter. Then rinse them, dry them and
cut them into halves. Salt and pep
per them and cook them in little
butter until done. (They should not
be overlooked just a delicate
brown. Strain them, add the
saucesand heat through once more
but do not let the sauce boil.
To make the sauce, melt 2 table
spoons butter or margarine and stir
In 2 tablespoons OF -four, blending
smoothly. Gradually add 8 cups Of
beet stock or consomme and bring
to boil. Stir in 2 cans Of tomato
|puree, a fresh tomato, peeled and
quartered; q carrot, a sliced onion

Turkey
Repeat

II you've got some leftover turkey
that you don't quite know what to
do with, take 2 cups of the meat,
neatly diced, and proceed to make
a turkey pie, as follows:
Make a turkey stock by boiling
the bones, bits of skin and any left
over dressing. Cook down to a rich
broth and then strain. All you'll
need is l cup. Melt some turkey
fat or drippings, thicken with a
little -four and stir into a cup of
cream and add the cup of turkey
stock. Season with salt, pepper,
paprika and a dash of nutmeg.
Slice or chop a cupful of mushrooms
and saute them in butter for 10
minutes or so.
Now add the diced turkey meat,
the mushrooms and 2 tablespoons
of parsley to the sauce, mix well
and put In a creased casserole
Cover with pie or biscuit dough,
prick with fork to let out the steam
and bake in a hot oven until the
crust is well Drowned. y
If you like, you may add few
boiled potatoes and onions to the
turkey and cream mixture before
putting on the lid"

WaterCreSS Is Versatile

In the larger cities, most markets
manage to have watercress now all
the year 'round-with the exception
of a week or so at certain seasons,
when the source of supply is being
shifted from northern to southern
chimes and vice versa. Watercress
is one of the finest edibles nature
produces and is infinitely more than
the garnish it too often is con-
sidered. Rare roast beef and tender
steak demand a wreath of crisp
green cresS. So does game and
cress goes much better with most
fish than does the ubiquitous pars-
ley.
But watercress also can be de-
pended upon to give a good &C
count Of itself in number of dishes
of which it is the basic ingredient.
1t has been served in many ways
for centuries. 1t is said that the
ancients ate watercress boiled in
goats milk or dished up in vinegar
with oil, cumin seed and a thing
called "garum." The Persians were
fond of eating it with bread and
boosted that that made a meal more
splendid than any Syracusan BAN
quet. In England it always has
been a Sunday tea table treat, along
with shrimps, wrinkles, radishes and
of all things!-lettuce.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-02-14

Cress may be cooked in exactly the
same way as spinach, sieving it aft
erward and serving it with croutons
or toast points. Cream of water
cress soup is delicious and little
rolled sandwiches of watercress and
thin white bread and butter are de-
licious for afternoon parties.
But this is the way we like cooked
cress best:
Chop 2 or onions fine and boil
them in water to cover until they
are almost tender. Pick over 2 or
3 punches of watercress, reject all
faded leaves, and wash well. Chop
up the leaves and the stalks, sea-
son with salt and put in with the
onions to cook until both onions
and cress are tender.
Let drip through a colander and
keep them hot in a warm oven
while you stir a lump of butter
about as big as walnut, which
has been rubbed in flour, into the
water in which the vegetables were
cooked. Stir until the liquid is
smooth and creamy, reheat and stir
in the beaten yolk of an egg.
When the sauce is smooth and a
bit thick, pour over the vegetables,
which have been placed in a dish,
and check for seasoning. Garnish
with toast points and serve very
hot. This is a fine vegetable dish
to serve with game or duck.

the tender heshed fish is the exact
opposite from our favorite shad In
its bone content. We civilians
will get 10000 tons of prunes this
year. Can you bear it? -. "It amt
necessarily so" when they tell you
that that steak that you can cut
with fork got that way just by
aging. The problem is much more
complicated than that. First, the
steaks must come from properly ma
ture and fattened animals. Sec
ond, only ribs and loins can be aged
because they are the only part of
the animal in which the lean is COW
cred with enough fat to protect 1t
from the mold. The growth of the
mold must be watched constantly
throughout the aging period to see
that it does not penetrate to the
lean meat, which would give the
meat a moldy flavor. Third, the
meat must be aged In special coolers
where temperatures and humidity
are controlled and proper air cur
rents insured to prevent condensa-
ton of moisture on the meat. Fin
ally, after aging, the mold must be
removed from the meat with the ut
most care. Without these precau-
tons, your "aged" beefsteak would
simply have a moldy, rancid, stale
or spoiled flavor. So you see!

USES FOR SCRAPS.
WHITE IILACS?"
From Mrs. r. w. M, Springfield,
Val

From Mrs. r. w. M, Springfield,
hope I'm not too late in replying
to the lady who was wondering how
to use her scraps of material as I
have several suggestions. II she
belongs to a church or club that
gives bazaars, the ideas are limitless
for articles to sell. She can use
pieces of satin to quilt and make
handkerchief folders, coat hanger
covers and to cover different boxes
used as drawer partitions. Cottons
make wonderful stuffed animals. A
whole packet of animal patterns can
be obtained at most dime stores.
Flour sacks or plain muslin make
darling tea aprons when the pocket
and all around trim are of odd
scraps Luncheon cloths can be
made with scraps used as applique,
which can also be used on plain tea
towels. I hope some of these ideas
will help her and there are prob
ably many more.
Now l have a request to make: I
would like a copy of poem entitled
White Lilacs." I do not know the
author, but the poem concerns a
boy who is receiving honors at grad
uation and whose mother comes to
see him and has been able to secure
a seat behind pillar as the only
empty seat. 1t is poem of great
length, but If some one would send
a copy to RICH to be forwarded to
me, I'd greatly appreciate it as am
too far from bus line to go to a
| library to look for a copy.
