WAsHINGTON-

WASHINGTON
President Truman's statement
from the Caribbean that "the Pal
estine problem has been and is
the deep concern of this govern
ment" was the weeks master I'M
derstatement.
It was issued the same day that
Warren r. Austin, American rep
resentative to the United Nations,
delivered this governments views
on the Palestine situation to the
Security Council. The legalistic
Interpretation offered by Austin, in
separating the questions of parti-
ton and threats to the peace, was
said by some politically acute OBJ
servers here to be the sweetening
to help the American public swal-
low the idea of an eventual inter-
national armed force for Pales-
tine.
The concern of the Administra-
ton over the Palestine issue can
hardly be exaggerated. 1t was not
eased by the American Labor
Party victory in the twenty-fOurth
Congressional District (the Bronx
Of New York, in which Democratic,
Republican and Liberal Party can
didates were overwhelmingly de-
feated, chiefly on the question of
Palestine The election of Repre-
sentative-elect Leo IsaacsOn, sup
ported by Henry A. Wallace, was
one of the main factors taken into
consideration in the drafting of
Senator Taft's statement calling
for United States support of a
moderate" u. N. force for Pales-
tine.
Taft's statement was made after
consultation with Republican lead
ers AS chairman of the Republi-
can Policy Committee of Congress,
Taft, it is emphasized here, mir
rored not merely his own views but
those of Republican policy makers.
They felt that the Palestine issue
was the decisive reason for the
success of Isaacson. The import
ance attributed to his election by
the Republican leader is shown by
speaker of the House Martins
forecast that Isaacson would be
assigned to a House Committee.
inns is considered significant in
view of the fact that Representa-
1--WE Vito Marcantonio, the other
american Labor Party member of
congress, was not given a COM
"ittee assignment when reelected
IN the last election, and thus has
"een deprived of the political adj
'dntages linked with committee
posts.
The impact of Taft's support at
'ms time for a UN force is COM
pared with that of Governor
Oe"ey's call in October 1916 for
"u'nlssiOn of more than 100000
Jewish refugees to Palestine.
"ewey's statement followed, by a
snort time, but alIegedly precip-
mated that of President Truman,
VINO reiterated his appeal to Great
britain to admit 100000 Jewish
displaced persons to Palestine.

Holiday birds soon flock to the ovens; or

It's a poor cook who takes the gravy for

cream sauce and treat it as such. They turn

But newcomers to the kitchen and cooks

NEVER gravy too thick or too thin if you
will but measure. Use two tablespoons of
fat to two of the -four to one cup of liquid.

Brown gravy can be made in the roasting
pan after the meats taken out - after
beef rib roast, leg of lamb. shoulder of
mutton, or veal or pork loin. Fowl, too,
yields the makings for pan gravy with
rich extractives. so wonderfully good for
dunking tender hot biscuits
Liquid for gravies may be plain water but
better yet is the liquid left from cooked
vegetables, this adding flavor and nourish-
ment. If the meat from which the gravy is
made is highly juicy and full of exractives,
no other flavor or color is required. But
if it's dry and not too tasty, the gravy will
be improved if fortified by the addition of
one or two bouillon cubes or a few drops of
one of the commercial meat extracts.
