TRAINING COCKER?

from Mrs. T. B. r., Washington
Il am hoping some one will be able
10 help me with my problem. Shortly
after the birth of our baby over
year ago, we acquired a puppy
Cocker spanieD to grow up with the
baby. We didn't realize that the
puppy needed all the attention
baby does, consequently she Is wild
and undisciplined, although very
affectionate.
She is fond of the baby and gentle
with her. She stays close when on
a leash or even when unleashed on
her walk. However, she jumps up on
the rest of us constantly; she will
not obey commands such as "lie
down." sit down." etc. She has had
no training, since she either stays
In the yard or in the basement.
Is there any place where she can
be placed for short time or taken
for visits where she will get the
proper training? Due to the atten-
ton the baby demands we only have
the week end to really spend any
time training the dog. Is she too
old-she Is II months?

SUGGESTIONS AND QUERIES.
From Mrs. M. o. W.. Washington
I've gotten so many good ideas
and recipes, etc, from the RICH that
1 feel 1 should give some myself
First, I'd like to suggest to you
mothers to use cOrnstarch on your
babies instead of powder or mix it
with powder. The nurse at the hos
pital told me about it.
Here's my favorite lemon pie
recipe: One and a half cups sugar
90 tablespoons cornstarch, III cups
boiling water, pinch Of salt. Boil
these ingredients together until 1t
begins to thicken. Beat 3 egg yolks
and pour a little of the boiling
LIQUID over them, stirring constantly
and vigorously to keep eggs from
curdling. Then mix that with other
mixture and cool till thick. Add
Juice and rind Of two lemons. Pour
into baked pie shell and cover with
meringue. I've yet to make a me-
ringue that will stand up. They
always fall, no matter how long I
beat the egg whites. I've added
baking powder and cream of tartar
still no success. Maybe some one
can tell me how to make it.
Now for question:
Does any one know how I can
store away a white crepe de chine
dress without its turning yellow?
1t naturally turns yellow when it's
washed, but that can be remedied
by using a white dye in the water.

Air Force Answers Critics
Of Neqro Base in Germany
By the Associated Press

FRANKFURT. Germany, May "a.
United States Air Force head
quarters in Europe said today an
Air Force inquiry failed to sub
stantiate allegations made by Amer
ican Negro editors concerning Negro
troop conditions at the Roth air
ammunition depot near Munich.
The editors, in a report to the
Army after tour of Germany, said
the overall job of the Army and
Military Government was highly
commendable but said visit to
Roth was "the most distressing
thing we witnessed during the trip"
The editors contended the base
was "disgracefully officered," that a
vicious court-martial system existed
and that recreational facilities were
encumbered by restrictions.
The Air Force report found the
officers competent, said court mar
tials We're not excessive in ratio to
the number of delinquency reports
and that recreational facilities were
equal or superior" to those OF other
stations.
There is no evidence of any pref
erential treatment of white troops
over Negro troops" the Air Force
report said.

.2-Year Atomic Terms
IAssai|ed by Minority
|0f Joint Committee
BY the Associoied Press

Five Democratic lawmakers said
today it would be both "unwise and
dangerous" to extend for only two
years the terms of atomic energy
commissioners.
In minority report of the Sen
at-House Atomic Committee, they
urged that the recommendations OF
President Truman be carried out.
The President on April 20 renom-
mated Chairman David E. Lilien-
thai for a fve-year term and the
other commissioners for terms rang
ing from one to four years.
The Democrats said a bill intro
duced by Chairman Hickenlooper
and Senator Johnson, Democrat, Of
Colorado, would seriously impair
the efficiency of the atomic energy
program" 1t would extend all Of
the terms to June 3, 1850.
Sees Senate Action This Week.
The bill was approved by a ma
jority of the committee last week.
In report at that time the ma
jority said any hasty decisions as
to a permanent administrative pat
tern for the commission are "un-
warranted and unwise."
Senator Hickenlooper told re-
porter he hopes to get the Senate
to act on the bill some time this
week. He said he thinks it will be
approved easily.
The Democrats-Senator Nc
Mahon Of Connecticut and Repre-
sentatives Lyndon B. johnson of
Texas, Durham of North Carolina,
Holifield of California and Melvin
Price of Illinois-said enactment Of
the bill would:
/. Dissipate the spirit of political
nonpartisanship in which the entire
atomic energy program was con-
ceived and established.
2. Impair the continuity in man
agement of the project.
3. Create confusion among atomic
workers.
4. Suggest to the American people
the possibility Of complete turn
over in commission membership and
in commission policies two years
hence.
The majority report last Monday
noted that the commissioners terms
were fixed at two years from the
effective date of the act, August /,
1916. Because of bitter confirma
ton battle, eentering about Mr..
Lilienthal, the terms actually did
not start until April 9, l947.
Short Time for Study Cited.
"It is obvious" the majority said,
chat there has been but one year
for reliable formulation Of programs
and for observation and study in
stead of the two-year period wisely
contemplated by the law"
The minority noted that pro-
ponents have contended the two
year extension would avoid a bit
ter political fight" They said there
is mo justifiable reason" for such
a fight, adding:
"If politics intrudes this time, it
will create a precedent that may
live on Indefinitely"

BERLIN, May 24.-The British
Control Commission installed q liai-
son officer today in the Communist
controlled central police headquar-
ters of Berlin, over the protests of
the Soviet military administration.
All three Western powers had
served notice last week they in
tended to assign such officers, de-
spite Russian claims it was illegal
and meant interference by the
Western Allies in German police
operations.
United States occupation authori-
ties intend to set up similar ONCE
in the headquarters of the uni
formed police and the French in
the criminal police headquarters
All three buildings are in the Soviet
sector of Berlin.
An office was not made available
Immediately to the American liai-
son ofiicer, V. N. Kovacic of Forest
Hills, N. Y, when he went to uni
formed police headquarters this
morning. French officials said they
had not yet sent their representa-
tive to the criminal police.
American officials said Rudolf
Wagner, acting chief of the uni
formed police, requested an order
from the Allied Kommandatura' S
Public Safety Committee. The COM
mittee has not been functioning
since the Russians walked out re-
Gently when the western powers
sought to cross s-examine Paul Mark
graf, police president. Wagner is a
member of the Soviet-sponsored
Socialist Unity Party.
Aimed to Prevent Reprisals.
Col. James Stewart, British public
safety official, said Markgraf did not
want to provide the British liaison
man an office at first because he had
received Soviet instructions to ignore
the western allies move.
Nov I won't have to send my
liaison officer back and forth be-
tween our headquarters and the
police Stewart said. Moreover, it
should have an effect on police
morale"
United States authorities empha-
sized they feel assignment Of the
liaison officers is necessary to pre-
vent reprisals and intimidation of
police personnel by Communist off,
cials if the police are an anti-Com-
muniSt line. They added the west
ern allies are exercising a right. they
have had since four-power occupa-
ton of Berlin began. So far, only
the Russians have exercised this
right, the officials said.
Meanwhile, United States officials
have warned German Communists
they will be arrested if they cam
paign in the American zone of Ger
many for their plebiscite on the
unif1cation of Germany. The cam
paign, barred in the American and
French zones, opened yesterday to
continue three weeks. Millions of
persons in the Soviet zone are ex-
pected to sign the petitions being
circulated.
Referendum Attacked.
The Americans contend the ref
erendum is q maneuver to extend
Communist influence under the
mask of an appeal to German ma
tionalism. British authorities are
permitting the referendum in their
zone, provided no intimidations are
used.
Representatives of the Communist
sponsored German Peoples Con-
gress" promoting the plebiscite are
exploiting the Berlin governments S
antibedbug campaign to get sigma
lures in the American and French
sectors, newspapers licensed by the
