U.N.. Committee Backs
Demi|itarized Negeb
As Asked by Bunche
BY the Associofed Press

PARIS, Nov. ia special Pal
estine committee of the Security
Council today approved a plan
which informed quarters said was
intended to demilitarize virtually
all the Negeb desert.
The plan was lad before the
seven-nation body by Acting United
Nations Mediator Ralph Bunche
but has not been made public.
DR.. Bunche sent copies OF the
plan to the Israeli and Egyptian
governments tonight and notified
them the committee-consisting OF
the five big powers plus Belgium
and Colombia-had approved 1t.
Forces Would Withdraw.
A reliable informant said all the
Southern Palestine desert, which
Israel claims under the Nov. 20,
1947, partition plan, would be de-
militarized except for the garrlsonS
In Jewish settlements.
The informant said other Israeli
forces would be told to Withdraw
to their positions of October IA,
the date of the outbreak OF fighting
with the Egyptians which put the
Jews in control of almost all the
Negeb
The Egyptians largely would be
held in their present positions, it
was said. This would create a large
no-man's-land between the two
forces.
The committee accepted the plan
6 to O. with Russia abstainfng.
Soviet Delegate Jacob A. Malik said
it. was unrealistic to assume that
the present corps of U. N. observers
in Palestine could control the Negeb
if it were demilitarized.
Council Meeting Called.
The Bunche plan was intended to
implement the Security Councils
resolution of November threaten
ing sanctions unless the Israeli and
Egyptian forces gave up any terri
tory gained after october IA in the
Negeb.
The security Council, meanwhile,
has called meeting Monday on
Palestine. U. N. officials said the
first order of business would be a
British proposal to extend to all
Palestine the sanctions provisions of
the Negeb resolution.
The General Assembly's 14-nation
Steering Committee studied a pro-
posal to set up special 58-member
Palestine committee to relieve the
po1ifiro1 ropopittoa of tho po1nctina
problem. The Steering Committee
will meet again Monday to study
the proposal further.

Is one to every four or six campers.
Are physical examinations re-

ed frequently by city and state
health authorities? Is there q
nurse living on the camp site and
q doctor within call?
Is the camp program one your
child will enjoy? Will he have free
dom to do the things he enjoys
doing? Do previous campers look
forward to going back?
If you are reasonably certain
that the camp you have chosen is
the one in which your child will be
happy and if the child himself
wishes to go to the camp, then that
is the camp for your child, accord
ing to Mr.. CraWley.

WhyGrow
Old?
Br Josebhine L0aCman

A reader sent me a delightful
idea not long ago.
She said: 81 would appreciate 1t
if you will send me your marathon
leaflet with diet and exercise. 1t
was a great help to me in losing Is
pounds after the birth of my first
baby. Now my third child is 8
months old and once again I am
determined to return to normal
weight.
"The other evening, as was read
ing about the starving children in
Europe and thinking Of my own
three healthy babies tucked snugly
in their beds, wishing could do
something to help, an idea occurred
to me.
81 got busy with pencil and paper
and figured that for each 10 pounds
I have lost I saved approximately
$40 by not eating the usual cakes
pies and candy and cutting down on
amounts. A reduction of even soc
calories day Zone average serving
of cake or pie at IL cents and one
small candy bar at a cost Of 6 cents
would equal a saving Of $10.08 In
eight weeks-the length Of your
marathon.
"I am going to send $40 CARE
food package for every 10 pounds ]
lose. In this way I will have the
added incentive to diet because
will have the joy of helping others
and will also know that / am on
my way toward a lovelier figure. II
each person who entered your mara.
thon would do the same, think OF
all the children who would 60 te
bed a little less hungry while we
merely would employ some much
needed self-discipline in temporarily
foregoing q few luxuries."
Had you ever thought Of it ike
that-a dollar pound? It certainly
would be an exciting thing If all o1
the women who lost weight with
marathon would spend the money
they saved on q CARE food package
This Is one way In which we could
literally give the weight We do moi
want to some one who needs 1t.

CHn,D'S SHAMPOO.

From Mrs. F. H. T.. Arl1ngtonJ
We had a terrible time shampoo
ing our two children's hair, ages 2
and 4, until a friend passed on this
suggestion: We lay the child on his
back on the sink drainboard. II
your sink has spray, the job is
especially simple. If not, water can
be poured from tea kettle. None
gets in the eyes or ears. My sug-
gestion would be to give him some
thing very attractive to hold or
something good to eat. If you pro-
ceed very cautiously and under nc
circumstances get any water in his
eyes, think your problem is solved
For the sake of the very fastidious
readers-the sink can always be
thoroughly secured afterward. Our
children love to have their hair
washed now and we are happy to
pass this suggestion on.

"BING CROSBY MEAT PIES"
PARCEL FOR ENGLAND.

(From Mrs. J. M. j., Suuer Spring.
For Mrs. H. A. w. washington
Here is your recipe for "Bing Crosby
meat pies" Believe 1t or not, !
found it in 1897 Better Homes and
Gardens Magazine: Two cups all
purpose flour, / teaspoon single
action baking powder, Y teaspoon
salt, 6 tablespoons shortening, 1-egg
yolk, slightly beaten, 70 cup milk.
Sift dry ingredients, add shortening
and mix thoroughly. Add egg to
milk; add to dry mixture to make
soft dough. Turn out on q houred
board and toss lightly until the out
side looks smooth. Roll out half
the dough u inch thick; cut into
squares. Fit each into q muf1n
pan; I'LL with the corned beef mix
ture and fold the edges OF the
pastry over to the centers. Pinch
the edges together on the top. Bake
in a hot oven at 425 for about 20
minutes. This serves 8. (The rea-
son for rolling out half the dough
at time is to make 1t simpler IN
handling. After one-half is rolled
out and shaped, then the other hall
is rolled.
Corned Beef Filling-Two table
spoons butter, a cup chopped
onion, 2 tablespoons flour, ~ cups
cooked corned beef, cut in pieces,
IL cups canned tomatoes, few
grains black pepper.
Melt butter, add onion. Cook
slowly until soft. Add flour. Stir
until well blended. Add remaining
ingredients, bring to boil. stirring
constantly until thick and smooth.
Let simmer about 10 minutes.
This is In answer to Miss M. L. M.
Washington, who asks about send
ing a package to a 15-year-old girl
in England: We send things to
friends in Scotland and the situa-
ton is the same in both countries.
Our friends especially appreciate
sweets as their candy ration Is so
small. 1 would think a youngster
would be very glad to receive candy
or the makings for cake, cookies or
pie. I generally send packaged cake
and cookie mixes and also the dried
apple pie mix that is on the market
now. Although British people don't
use as much cosmetics as We do,
I think she would like some face
cream and perhaps hand lotion, as
they have a colder and Wetter
climate than We do. But I think
I would accent the food In pack
age, as their food supply, although
adequate is very monotonous. On
second thought, perhaps a sweater
would be welcome, If you know the
size, as their clothes are rationed
also.
