Report to the Housewife

uhether it's cold crisp salad or
hot invigorating vegetable plate,
VOL will find plenty of choice In the
Iocal markets this week. With this
changeable spring weather We are
having, you probably revise your
menus overnight in order to keep
abreast of the changing conditions.
Several ome-groWn vegetables
are now beginning to make their
appearance, rhubarb, radishes, wa
tercress, landcress and other cook
ing green's are from local farms.
Asparagus continues to be plentiful
and the quality very good. I've
noticed, too, that it has come down
considerably in price. You will find
leeks from Florida and Georgia,
beets from Texas, and from Cali
fornia carrots, Chinese cabbage,
broccoli and cauliflower.
There are potatoes for every pur-
pose; new ones from the South,
bakers" from Idaho and Maine,
and some sweet potatoes shipped in
from Louisiana to supplement the
local supply. Did you know that
the heavier potato is, the mealier
1t Is? It seems potatoes are Sc
lected by specific gravity tests. Thus,
better potatoes for boiling are those
OF medium to relatively low specific;
gravity, since they hold together
well and can be recooked for later
serving. For whipped potatoes high
specific gravity is best, since they
have a greater tolerance for water
or milk and whip up to a greater
volume.
Cucumbers, now, are hot-house
grown; they are quite good quality
but the price is high. Green peppers
and tomatoes are two more yegeta-
bles that are completely out of sight
as regards price. Citrus fruit is still
In good supply. and, with the ex-
ception of lines. very reasonable.
Other produce includes Bermuda
onions from Texas, Spanish onions
from Chill, white and yellow squash,
plenty Of lima and snap beans, peas,
salad greens, mushrooms, and very
nice strawberries. Bananas become
more plentiful right along. The
Food Marketing News reports large
supplies of frozen fruits and veg
etables on hand in the Middle At
lantic area: the stocks are much
higher than on the same date last
year. Frozen foods make an easy
to-get lunch or dinner when time
or energy are short.
!, AL lines of meat are plentiful, the
featured cuts for the week end will
be rib roasts, ground beef and the
fore-quarter cuts of lamb and veal.
The shoulder cuts are good buys, less
expensive than the fancier chops

ularly TO develop more long+range
planning 50 that there need be
less catch-as-catch-can improVt
sation and expediency." All VIII
agree that this is needed But the
practical question is where to be-
gin.
The place to begin is, il seems
to me, n the Council OF Foreign
| Ministers. For the fact is that Il
General Marshall has to spend
most of his time negotiating ~ith
III. MolotoV in the Council of For
eign Ministers, he will be quite
unable TO reorganize. or to organ
ize, or TO do much long-range
planning. Unless the Council of
Foreign Ministers IS reformed,
there is little prospect that SEN
ator vendenberg's demand can De
met for a reorganization of the
conduct Of foreign affairs.
The Council Of Foreign Min
listers was invented back in the
days when Churchill, Stain, and
Roosevelt were the Big Three.
The idea then was that the Big
Three would settle the basic IS
sues, and that the Foreign Min
listers would thresh out the terms
Of the agreements. But wher
Roosevelt died, Churchill fell from
power, and Stain became almos
inaccessible. the Council of For
eign Ministers proved TO be a mos
unsatisfactory instrument. It coule
not settle the issues which only
the head of governments can set
lie, and therefore became entangl
ed in tortuous ~quarrels and com
promises.
The Council has proved to BIT
especially costly to the United
States. M. Molotov could afford
TO sit there DAY after day arguing
over side issues: behind him h
Moscow there were Stain and the
Politburo. Even Mr.. Bevins could
afford TO engage himself in the
endless discussion. For Britain
through long experience has de.
veloped cabinet government. But
Mr.. Byrnes has no one behind him
at home to back him up, to do the
thinking and the planning which
