THOSE FREQUENT underground

been puzzling some residents of the
neighborhood around Fifth and JET
ferson streets NV. actually are her
aiding the advent Of q supermodern
sewerage system for Washington.
Except for deep shaft sunk at the
intersection, few persons have real
lied, in spite of construction noises,
that "sandhogs" have been building
a 2,80O-foot sewer that stretches
along Fifth street, between Ingraham
and Oglethorpe streets. The roadway
above hardly is touched.

This Changing World
New Middle East Trouble Expected
AS Russians Mass on Iran Border

withdrawal of the Soviet armies
from northern Iran in 1916 was the
Iranian governments undertaking
to give the USSR exclusive oil con-
cessions in that oil-rich part of the
country. The agreement was bind
ing, according to the Soviet foreign
Office, and now must be executed.
The Iranian premier's contention
was that no binding agreement ever
existed. He promised to submit the
matter to Parliament as soon as
elections were held following the
Russian withdrawal. This he did,
but Parliament was not favorably
disposed toward such an agreement,
which would give the Russian not
only the right to exploit the oil
fields, but also to control the entire
area.
On the one hand Russia charges
that Iran is not living up to its OBJ
legations, and on the other Premier
Qavam says he can do nothing with
out the approval Of Parliament,
which was freely elected by the
Iranian people.
Blackjack Attempt Is Seen.
The massing of a large Soviet
Army in the, Caucasus and on the
Azerbaijan border Is considered in
Washington as an attempt by Mos
cow to blackjack the Iranian parlia-
ment and cabinet into complying
with the Soviet demands. It Is an
intimidating measure, according to
Washington diplomats.
The Iranian government, however,
takes more serious view and fears
that when the international
situation becomes somewhat worse
than it is now, Russia may take ad-
vantage of it and Jump on its
neighbor.
The whole matter is still inactive
before the United Nations. Despite
the strenuous efforts of Soviet Dep
uty Foreign Minister Gronyko last
year to have the quarrel removed
from the calendar, the Iranian dele
gate prevented 1t.
Premier Qavam feels that he can
resist the Russian pressure because
he has a much improved armed
force. Also Teheran now controls
Northern Azerbaijan, where import
ant defense works have been going
on since the summer Of 1946. If he
has to do so, Premier Qavam can
still bring any case Of Soviet aggres-
sion before the United Nations.

bleeding heart for the unfortunates
Of the world, 1t will yield to COM
pulsory cutting down on food.
Please let me point out another
mistake in Judgment made by the
President and his advisers. From
the White House came an official an
nouncement Of what Mr.. President,
Mrs. President and Miss Margaret
were going to have for lunch on the
first meatless Tuesday. Every news
paper and radio told us citizens that
the White House would have a
cheese soufle.
Now isn't that simple Of dish!
It may not be hard to make in the
White House, where they have chefs
and dietitians, half-a- -block-long
stoves, and Secret Service men to
keep the mice quiet. But not many
Of us live in the White House.
Souff1e is Hard to Cook.
Try to cook a cheese soufhe in
the home Of the average American.
Many Of us cook on kerosene stoves.
Half Of us cook on gas ranges that
shake and shiver. There is moth
ing tougher to cook than a souffle,
be it Of cheese, or ground-up Dor
sey brothers. A whisper from half
a block away will fall like a felled
tree. Shut a door with violence
and you can hear the soft thud OF
the souffle as 1t takes a dive.
If were President (and would
stand a good chance if I had ever
risen to the rank Of captain in the
last war;, I would have told my
pressman to say that on the first
meatless Tuesday the President was
eating nothing; that he felt that
missing one meal wouldn't hurt him
I believe that millions Of Americans
would have said okay, If the Presi-
dent can go without meal 50 can
I. How much would we have tc
give to the rest Of the world If all
of us missed a meal week?
But Mr.. Truman having set the
fashion for souffles we are having
one tomorrow. I have told the chez
just how I want it. Jean is going
| to do her best.

pears on a table and Is not eaten
must be thrown away. I do not eat
bread or butter, but they are served
me with every restaurant meal and
are pure waste. In England If you
have potatoes with a restaurant
meal you can't have bread. Here 1t
is thrown at you and into the gar
bage can.
Housewives Wasteful
Many housewives are wasteful.
They throw into the garbage pail
leftover meat bones and poultry
carcasses that would be the basis of
any French pot au feu, pour vita
min-rich water in which vegetables
have been cooked down the sink,
and stale bread into the ash can
and then buy packaged bread
crumbs.
A campaign urging that every
scrap of food purchased or served
should be consumed, that the full
garbage can Is a crime against ma
ture, would save much more than
meatless, eggless days and also
would save money for American
families.
If a Polish peasant drops a piece
Of bread on the floor, he picks it up
and kisses 1t, as a token Of respect
for the life of man.
In my own Spartan childhood
home no child ever was allowed to
send back to the kitchen anything
but a clean plate. If food was
taken and not eaten it was set
aside, and the child had to eat
that before he got anything more,
to teach us that "the eye shouldn't
be greater than the stomach"
That experience has reduced
household bills for me all my life.

George Allen, Out of White House Circle,
Reported Turning to Eisenhower Camp

Harry must understand that George
also has a right to place in the
sun. However, it cannot be sale
that what is Mr.. Truman's loss Il
Gen. Eisenhower's gain. After all
Mr.. Allen had already done all OF
the damage to the President that he
could. Whether the general Is q
candidate for President or not, OF
ever will be, he would do well te
caution his watchdogs to take a firm
hold with their teeth of the seat o1
merry Georges pants when they
come within tasting distance.
Did Truman No Good.
He did not do Mr.. Truman any
good even when he was frolickine
with the Missouri gang. If Gen
Eisenhower should find himself ir
need OF a jester, he would do wei
to insist on one who is not shop
worn. 5s
Nor is the detection of the mimi
table one, whose loss is not irrepar-
able, the only one that President
Truman has sustained recently. II
appears that Judge Samuel I. Ros-

of the people than was President
Roosevelt himself, forgot to have
himself strapped to the mast before
he got within hearing distance Of

Cash In For
Explaining Law

Washington (LPA)-Rep. Fred
Hartley (R., N. J.) and Sen. Joe
Ball (R., Mimi have become such
experts on rackets that they've
now developed a lucrative one of
their own, it was disclosed last
week.
The "racket" - strictly legiti-
mate, of course-is to explain, for
a handsome fee, the anti-labor law
they helped write. Hartley was
scheduled to be the paid speaker
on the Taft-Hartley law at n two
day seminar planned by the Indiana
Chamber of Commerce. Last week
he addressed the Int'l Apple Grow
ers Association in Detroit.
When Sen. Ball recently. found
himself too busy to accept a Cleve-
land lecture engagement he offer
ed it to another Republican and
revealed that the payoff would be
$1,000.
Added to their $4,000 yearly
salary from the taxpayers plus
travel expenses and other stipends,
the lecture" fees are a guarantee
that Ball and Hartley will not be
candidates for the poorhouse if
they're not candidates for re-elec-
tion i'm l948.
