Rescue of New York Russian Teacher
Follows Soviet Pattern in France

enjoy the same diplomatic immunity
as an Embassy, and II necessary the
consulate can be searched and the
consul arrested.
A consul does not possess the
same diplomatic character as an
ambassador or member OF the
staff of an embassy or legation
While the privileges and immunities
Of members Of a diplomatic staff are
clearly defined, those Of consuls are
not so clearly established and con-
siderable difference of opinion ex-
lists on the subject.
Contention Of JuristS.
Some jurists have contended that
consuls, their families and dwell
ings enjoy extraterritorial rights
but, unlike ambassadors and their
aides, are subject to the jurisdiction
of local authorities in some mat
ters. In many cases consuls have
been arrested on different charges
A consulate has principally COM
mercial character, and Is not
granted the same advantages as
an embassy or legation. For in
stance, no consul in the United
States is permitted to import liquor
duty-free. In most cases the en-
bassy provides the consulate men,
bers with such necessities" While
this technically is a breach OF the
law, American authorities have
never raised the question except
during prohibition days, when the
State Department ordered out Of
the country a number Of consular
attaches because they were COM
mercializing the liquor courtesy.
Although from the strictly legal
viewpoint any person held In a con-
sulate could be removed by Amer
ican authorities, 1t is highly unlike
ly that the State Department-in
view Of present strained relations
with the U. S. S. R.-will permit
any such action, regardless OF how
much the House Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee insists that the
rescued" teacher be freed.
Moscow is likely to take a very
serious view of the situation II the
New York police or the FBI are or
dered to remove the persons the
consulate is holding at present. Such
action, it is feared, might give the
Kremlin the occasion for creating
major crisis, which the United
States, together with the Western
European powers, is anxious to
avoid.

TheChef
Says

Ran across some rather amusing
information the other day-old-time
observances Of Easter Monday-an
centering around the hare. In
ancient times Monday was Moon
day" and the date Of Easter hinged
on the moon. The hare long has
been . lunar symbol because Of
several things-among them the
fact that young hares are born with
their eyes open, unlike rabbits,
which are born blind. Further,
hares were tabled never to close their
eyes at night but to watch the
hours pass along with the moon.
The name Of hare in Egyptian was
"un." which means also opener"
and this evolved into the opening of
= new season or life-hence the
Easter egg as a symbol of new life.
In the old days In England there
used to be celebrated every Easter
Monday the "Hallaton Hare Scram-
BILE and Bottle Kicking" The story
was that at some remote period a
piece Of land was bequeathed to
the Halaton rector, on condition
that he provide annually two hare
pies, q quantity Of ale and two dozen
loaves to be scrambled for every
Easter Monday. (The book con-
fusingly points out that as hares
were out of season at this time of
year, mutton, veal and bacon pies
were substituted.)
At a place called Hare-Pie Bank,
the pies, cut in pieces, were tossed
out an scrambled for, along with
the loaves. Shouldn't think there
would be any pie left to eat, after
the battle) Bottles were kicked
over set boundary lines in another
fierce set-to and everyone pre-
sumably had q rousing good time,
although it sounds pretty childish
today.
Probably our youngsters egg roll
ing and egg cracking stems from
old-time games Of this sort. In
the years before the last war, when
the White House grounds were
thrown open to the public every
Easter Monday morning, expectant
children, clutching baskets of
brightly dyed eggs, would surge
through the gates. No adults were
admitted, unless accompanied by
child.

Women are supposed to be wiz
ards. They're expected to make
one hand do the work of three and
one dollar stretch its buying power
to that Of five. Around the house
they're expected to have the wis
dom OF the Sphinx, the speed Of
an atom bomb, and the thrift Of a
French chef. Any one will agree
that's . large order, and the poor
budget-dizzy cook needs all the help
she can muster.
The fact that the homemaker's
irst food concern Is price often
forces her to keep her budget in
line. She certainly can't indulge In
steaks every night, she must resort
to the less expensive cuts. They're
not as tender, but they are lighter
on price. The next step. then, is to
turn that less-tender cut into q
melt-in-your-mouth steak. With
the aid Of . food chopper. IT'S no
trick at all to score the meat for
added tenderness. You Just bounce
the chopper along the outside. first
one edge then the other. Presto!
The three sharp blades work like
three busy little beavers to cut the
tough tendons till it's as tender as
a payday porterhouse. But the
work Of your chopper doesn't stop
there; with . couple Of chip-chops
you can whip up . feathery- light
cole slaw that is inexpensive and
chuck full Of minerals and vitamins.
It's the easiest way In the world
to cut potatoes for French frying,
whiz with onions, parsley, peppers,
beets or pickles, when you want
them chopped fine. It slashes OF
the time in preparing fruits for
salads or strawberries for shortcake,
or apples for cobblers.
Another handy kitchen aid that
cheats the garbage container Of val
liable food nutrients is a food mill.
This speed-making gadget literally
puts wings on your fingers. Cold
cooked vegetables can be slipped
through the food mill to make q
second-day appearance at the table
as stylish souffle or a pureed soup
Apple sauce requires no pre-
liminary peeling or coring, just run
through the mill, seasoned to taste,
and there you are. And for mash
ing potatoes, no more Of that tire
some beating and beating to make
them light and fluffy. Just cook
the potatoes with the jackets on Ito
hoard all those vitamins next to the
skim, whisk them through the mill,
add milk and butter and you'll have
smooth lovely mashed potatoes. It's
equally good for nashing rutabagas.

Many thanks to Betsy Caswell
and all of you readers for such

here are some Of my hints:
Shoe bags. Last year I discovered
a good way to help combat moths
was to buy a shoe bag for each closet
and keep all shoes OF the floor. This
enables me to mop the closet every
time mop the bedroom. Il under
stand moth often lay their eggs in
the dust that collects in closets, etc.
Now, regarding the shoe bags, buy
the mems as all shoes At in them
better than in the women's.
To lengthen children's sunsuits
and everalls, rip of the pockets and
make additions to the straps. They
don't look too well, but are all right
for play. If overall legs are too
short, make short pants or play
suits from them by cutting of above
the knee and hemming.
If you ever have the occasion to
leave hubby as baby sitter, you can
probably avoid a mess df he's like
mine) by mixing baby's cereal with
the milk and then putting it in the
bottle, using a funnel. Use nipple
with a large hole. When feeding
time comes all he will have to do is
heat the bottle.
