"MY WINE AND /"

A friend, whose taste for vintage

The world DER could not compare
Gave me a Keg of Wine, and said
Just let it age, and when you're

You then will have a wine so rare
That all the earth cannot compare
The wine was young, and young
was
I knew not then that time could
fly.
1 placed the Keg in secret spot,
And turned temptation-to the
For 1 was young-and young the
wine,
And when I wed-he would be
mine!
My friend would be-forever
Mine!
On aged liquer-we will dine!
And we will dance, as lovers do,
And drink to happiness-anew!
But he knew not, of shattered
heart
That promises of love-impart.
The years have aged my precious
wine,
It's taste and color-are divine.
The wine is Old-and so am /
I sadly know-how time can fly.
The vintage sparkles with each

The wine, with age, has grown

The World seeks my Keg of Wine,
And I am left-in bitter brine.
To drown my love-my spirits low

GRAND FOOD

For those who are confirmed

Grand Cafe, corner of Bdwy. and

It is not sheer accident that such
rare dishes as East Indies curried
chicken with rice and fresh COCO
nut, and French beefSteak in
wine with butter crust are usually
on the menu at the Grand. 1t so
happens that Thomas Taylor
Townsend and his wife, Rosina,
have been connoisseurs of fine
foods and unusual recipes for over
20 years. They have library
that is stacked with over 10000
international recipes and their
French section alone comprises
over 1000 different concoctions.
Mr.. Townsend, as affable as
they come, is a stickler on vita
minis and a confirmed physical
culturist. In the army Uncle Sam
singled him out as a physical
training instructor and he did
stellar job. Right now he is pur-
suing his lifelong ambition, to
establish a cafe that could serve
the most discerning diner with in
ternational foods, prepared as the
master chefs intended.
Authentic Hungarian dishes -
Budapest styler, and kosher-style
corn-beef are daily favorites at
the Grand, and one can always
give bit of zest to his meal by

THE AMERICAN JEWISH
FARMER.
BY Fred A. Stern


DR.. Gabriel Davidson, head of
the Jewish Agricultural Society,
was honored recently on the oc-
casion of his completing forty
years of service to the cause of
Jewish farming in the United
States.
To take up the cudgels for a
Jewish land movement forty years
ago was a courageous-yet un-
promising and thankless-under-
taking. The outlook was bleak.
Most of the available good land
in the United States was gone,
taken up by the waves of immi-
grants from the various European
countries who were fit to stand
the rigors of pioneering.
Not only did the Jewish agri-
cultural movement come too late,
but its rank consisted of people
totally inexperienced. Our peo-
pie had been divorced from the
land for centuries. Our urban
background did not give us the
ideal human material for pioneer
ing in a strange country. There
were a little over 200 Jewish
farmers in this country at the
turn of the century.
In forty years the picture has
certainly changed. Not only do
we now have considerably more
than 100000 deriving living
from agriculture, as compared
with a mere handful in 1907, but
we have Jews who distinguish
themselves in practically all
branches of farming and rank
with the best among their neigh
'>ors.
We often hear complaints that
the percentage of Jewish tillers
of the soil, compared with the
non-Jewish ones, is too small.
Considering the circumstances,
the adverse historical conditions,
we can say that the very fact
of a Jewish farm class in this
country is miracle in itself.
The Jewish farmers of our
country are the heroes of the
day. We have to look toward
them now more than ever, now
when our Jewish economy is un-
dergoing such changes with the
overcrowding of the professions,
with the difficulties besetting the
small shopkeeper and merchant.
If many a Jewish parent would
know more about the progress
Jews have made in farming and
the possibilities of practical sue
cess in agriculture, we are sure
they would not be so apt to en-
courage their children to seek
livelihoods only in the profes-
Sional and commercial fields.

Deadlock Continues
On D. {. Rent Bill as
Adjournment Nears
By HoroId B. ROGERS

The fate Of District rent control
today hung in the balance, as Con-
eress rushed towards adjournment
scheduled for Saturday night.
The controversy over the Overton
amendment to the Abernethy bill
extending local control for three
months beyond December 81 was ex-
pected to be tossed back to the
Senate this afternoon by the House.
House conferees late yesterday
filed their formal report with the
House, declaring they had disagreed
with Senate conferees, and had re-
fused to accept the Overton amend
ment. This amendment, inserted in
the House bill by the Senate, is de-
signed to protect subtenants from
eviction.
Instructions Foreseen.
Representative Allen, Republican,
Of California House conferee, pre-
dicted the House would be asked
to order the House managers to
continue opposition to the Overton
amendment. If the House approves
this move, as expected, the House
managers will 60 back into session
with the Senate managers probably
today.
The amendment, submitted by
Senator Overton. Democrat. of
Louisiana, has delayed passage of
the rent control extension measure
for several days. Language of the
amendment had been revised in
attempts to reach a compromise
between House and Senate con-
ferees, but even the revised language
resulted In stalemate Monday
afternoon.
The danger of losing rent control
extension Is mounting daily. Ten
ants In the District would be faced
with no rent control at all after
December 81 this year, unless the
measure is enacted The National
Rent Control Act will protect the

takes This leaves the Overton
amendment the only remaining
center of controversy.
The rent extension law for Wash
ington was introduced by Repre-
sentative Abernethy. Democrat. of

it should not be amended by the
Overton amendment.

u. n. 10 Quiz Albania
About Good Intentions
In Seeking Admission
BY the kssociotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, July 23.-The
East and West squared off today
for fight over the admission of
Russian-sponsored Albania to the
United Nations.
Most delegates agreed that unless
Albania can give assurance of ad-
herring to the principles OF the
United Nations charter her applica-
tion for membership will be rejected
for the second time.
AS the Security Councils H.
nation Membership Committee was
called to meet this morning, 1t was
expected that Albania would be
asked formally to answer questions
concerning her intentions.
The United States drafted two
questions Monday for Albania which
are to be acted on by the commit
tee. The United States asked wheth-
er Albania intended to comply with
the April recommendation by the
Security Council that Britain and
Albania take thier Corfu mine dis
pute to the International Court of
Justice and, if so, when. France also
suggested that the Council ask Al
bania. about her Intentions.
This came after the United States
Britain, France and Australia ex-
pressed grave doubts about ad-
mitting Albania.
A major shift in the Council
lineup. from last year came when
Pierre Ordonneau of France reversed
his country's approval of Albania
He tid Council members France s
opinion of Albania had been ser
iously damaged by her attitude In
the Corfu case and the attitude of
the Albanian delegations before the
Security Council.
. The Soviet Union contends that
a nations behavior during World
War II must be considered in de-
Gliding whether it shall become q
member of the United Nations.
In the previous session Britain,
China and Australia voiced their
doubts" about Albanias peace
loving character"
In addition to the Albanian apph-
cation, the committee also has
under consideration four other ap-
plications which were rejected last
year. They are those of Outer
Mongolia, Portugal, Ireland and
Trans-Jordan. The committee also
has the applications Of italy. Ro-
mania, Hungary and Austria.
Some delegates have contended
that the last four cannot be acted
on properly until peace treaties are
finally ratified.
Meanwhile, most delegates be-
lieved that the Security Council
would not be able to reach a vote
on the Balkan problem until next
week.
The Council was scheduled to
continue considera ton this after
noon of amendments to an Anaeri-
can proposal calling for a U. N.
border watch over the Balkans.

Truman aeesDeeision
On When 10 Abandon
Credit Buying Curbs
BY the Associated Press

Denied specific peacetime author
ity to regulate time-peyment buying,
President Truman today faces a
decision on when to lift present
credit restraints on such items as
automobiles, refrigerators and ra-
dios.
The President had recommended
that the controls-imposed by war
time executive order-be continued
for a while with the approval of
Congress as curb against imitation.
But the House instead approved a
bill late yesterday to end such con-
trolls Immediately. The voice-vote
action rejected Senate-approved
measure to continue modified credit
restraints to December 81 Neither
bill appeared likely to get any fur
ther.
Up to President.
Chairman Wolcott Of the House
Banking Committee told reporters
after the House vote:
1T is now up to the President to
get rid of the credit controls, as he
said he would do if he did not get
specific authority from Congress.
1t is certain the House will not au-
thorize such regulations. The Sen
ate bill is dead"
Known as the Federal Reserve
Boards regulation W." the credit
curbs were imposed early in the
war under the Trading With the
Enemy Act. Because that World
War I statute carries no specific
time limit, Mr.. Truman could, if he
chose, keep the restraints in force
80 long as the House bill did not be-
come law.
But on June 5, the President wrote
Mariner S. Eccles, Federal Reserve
Board chairman:
IF the Congress does not see fit
to provide the necessary legislative
authority, it is my intention to
vacate the executive order because
I do not believe that such regula-
ton should rest Indefinitely in
peacetime on emergency war powers,
after the Congress has had ample
opportunity to consider the subject" "
One Third Down Payment.
The controls now in force require
one-third down payments, with in
stallments running no longer than
IS months, on automobiles, stoves,
dishwashers, ironers, re-
frigerators. washing machines, room
unit air conditioners. radios. phono-
graphs, sewing machines and vacu-
UNI cleaners. A 20 per cent down
payment, with installments limited
to IS months, is required for furni-
ture and rugs.
The bill approved by the Senate
would extend the controls to Decem-
Der 81, with no more than 20 per
cent required on down payments
and installments to run two years.
In 9 formal report a maiority of
the House Banking Committee said
of the installment buying restric-
ton:
1T gives to the man of financial
means. in effect, priority of rights to
buy whatever he wants and when
ever he is willing to pay the price"
Taking the opposite tack during
House debate. Representative Craw-I
ford. Republican, of Michigan, de-
clared that this bill will help the
big boys and the finance companies,
but 1t will hurt the little business
man"
