Margaret Nichols owned some property
in joint tenancy with Kitty Chatfield.
When Kitty died it meant $500, 900 to her.
She explains the situation to her friend,
Barry, an amateur detective. Elsa Chat
field had been disinherited at her Aunt
Kitty's death, but is glad to be free of
the restrictions imposed by her relative.
Huntoon Rogers, detective, asks what
Aunt Kitty died of, and is told an over
dose of morphine, although the police
hold the opinion that it was suicide. Bar
ry arranges to go with Dwight and Mar
garet Nichols on cruise to Mazatlan,
Mexico, where Aunt Kitty's brother, Sam
Chatfield, owns rancho. On the yacht
Orizaba he meets James Chesebro and

On the Other Hand
No Program for Cutting Cost of
Living in Republican Platform
By Harry Hqnon'

by fall" He adds that the draft
will tighten the labor market still
further.
Fiscal policies? A hint, no doubt,
Of further tax reduction for the
same citizens now benenting from
the recent cut. Sound currency?
Meaningless. Debt reduction? Con-
tradicted by the tax reduction
promise.
Abolition Of overlapping, etc?
Congress already has shown what
this means by kicking some Of the
departments apart and scattering
the pieces elsewhere at no saving.
It has cut deeply into some other
agencies, such as the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics, which are chiefly
concerned with making Government
efficient. It has disregarded much
of its own Congressional reorganiza-
ton bill, but not those provisions
that increase the number Of legis-
lative employees. And 1t cheerfully
voted $4,000, 900 for an annex to
the handsome Senate ONCE building,
although there will be no increase
in the number of Senators.
All in all, there is no program
for cutting the cost Of living In the
Republican platform.
President Truman, however, does
have a program. If he calls Con-
gress back to face its unfinished
business, he should. spell that pro-
gram out once more.

Cripps Asks Commons
To Accept U. ). Aid
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LONDON, July 6.-Sir Stafford
Cripps, Britain's chancellor of the
exchequer, urged the House of Com
mons yesterday to accept Marshall
Plan aid.
His report opened a two-day de-
bate in Commons on the Marshall
aid agreement. British representa-
tives are to sign the accord in
Washington tonight.
He declared the terms Of the
European Recovery Program were
offered on reasonable and prudent
terms. and asked for unanimous ap-
proval.
: Such approval would assure Brit
ain Of $500, 100000 as q grant, and
$100, ,000, 900 as q loan in the next
three months, with more to follow.
Without such help, Sir Stafford
said, I'VE could not hope to maintain
either our present standard Of liv-
ing or our present level Of produc-
ton"
He said the net drain on British
gold reserves this year already has
reached s232, ,ooo, 900 ($s2s, ,ooo, ,ooo),
leaving only EATS, ,Ooo, 900 81, 1892, ,0oo,-

Federal Reserve LoWeu mehets'

Cost of Living Issue.
On the whole the cost of living
still seems likely to be the thing
uppermost in the minds of voters
during the campaign this summer
and fall. That being SO. it is worth
while to examine what hope Is held
out by the Republican platform.
It says:
1--WE pledge an attack upon the
basic causes Of imitation, including
the following measures: Progressive
reduction of the cost of Govern
ment through elimination OF
waste; stimulation Of production as
the surest way to lower prices. rs
cal policies to provide increased in
centives for production and thrift:
a sound currency: reduction OF the
public debt.
1--WE pledge further, that in the
management of our national Gov
ernment, we shall achieve the abo-
lition of overlapping, duplication,
extravaganza and excessive CEN
tralization; the more efficient as
signment of functions within the
Government; and the roofing out OF
communism wherever found.
These things are fundamental" |"
Unadulterated Bunk.
All of which adds up to pure, un-
adulterated bunk. The platform
might lust as we'll have said: 1--WE
do not propose to do anything about
imitation"
Elimination of Government waste?
All the eliminating that can be done
won't amount to the cost of a can
of beans, as it affects the average
citizen. Stimulation of production?

production has brought an almost
record employment level and some
industrialists fear a labor shortage

tions and then confirmation by the
virtually all-male Senate. The Sen
ate has never had at any one time
more than two women members out
of SO; it has had none since l943.
The question arose when Mrs.
India Edwards, vigilant head Of the
women's division, asked Senator Nc
Grath and other Democratic Sem
ators to press for approval Of Miss
Frieda Hennock, New York lawyer,
as q Federal Communications COM
missioner.
Senator McGrath conceded that
women were at a disadvantage IN
such situations and urged them to
start work at the grass roots. Man.
datory appointments by statute, he
said, would have a nonpartisan ap-
peal for such groups as the League
of Women Voters and generate back
home pressures always more effective
on Congress than political pleas.
Now Commissioner.
Events proved, incidentally, that
the smart and personable Miss Hen
mock could help herself. After hear
ing her testimony and realizing
that by law a Democrat had to have
that vacancy, the Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee ap-
proved her nomination.
Senator Wherry, acting majority
leader, then saw to it that the Sen
ate voted on her even during the
final shambles. He austerely states
that it is a matter of principle with
him to let the Senate vote on every
committee approved nomination.
The Senator is up this year and
probably will not be reticent about
explaining to the League OF Women
voters, Business and Professional
Women's Clubs, ETC., in Nebraska
the happy coincidence Of his prin-
ciples and his rescue Of the first
woman named to the FEC. ANY,

By the Chef.

The bane of the host and hostess
who appreciate good food and the
art of dining we'll is the guest or
the circumstance that makes it
necessary to hold" dinner overtime
In Washington, during the war days,
when hours were so irregular that
husbands and working wives never
knew whether they could appear at
dinner on the dot or not. many
clever hosts evolved certain dinners
that could not be hurt by unpunctu-
ality. 1t is good idea to have one
or two of these menus and sugges-
tions up your sleeve, so that you,
if confronted by some emergency,
can be cool and collected, your guest
unembarrassed and your dinner per-
feet.
One system is to plan dinner that
calls for only 80 minutes final prep
aration--which allows plenty of time
for drinks in the living room and
pleasant chatter without harm to
the meal. Such menu might con-
sist-in warm weather-of jelhed
consomme, with toasted waters, fol-
lowed by broiled steak or lamb
chops, broiled tomatoes and mush-
rooms, potato chips and a tossed
mixed green salad with Roquefort
dressing. AS for dessert-once the
guests have gone in to dinner, you
can pop a superb souffle into the
oven. and it should be ready just
when time for the dessert course
comes around. In that way YOU

have not made the obvious gesture
of using something from a can," or
ice cream from the freezer tray, de.
noting haste.
The other idea is to choose foods,
as far as possible, that take no harm
from standing a while. The trick is
to use bains- -maries, or double
boilers with water below to keep the
hot foods hot, and prevent their
drying out. Casseroles. too, may be
held almost Indefinitely, and If the
heavy French pottery ones are used,
will retain enough heat to keep the
contents hot without further fire.
Avoid such things as moist
canapeS that make the bases soggy;
apples, peaches and other fruits
that discolor when cut, although
lavish use of lemon juice helps to
prevent this; hot soups that contain
cream or egg. which curdle when
kept; sauces that call for thicken-
ers, such as Bearnaise. Hollandaise:
any meats that should be served
rare, all fried fish: baked or fried
potatoes; members of the cabbage
family which discolor quickly.
Your best bets are the citrus
fruits and melons; jellied or chilled
soups, or clear consommes; cold,
dryish canapes; roast turkey, chick
en- or duck; oven fried chicken; the
casserole dishes; green vegetables,
such as peas, string beans, limas;
cold desserts and cakes. Salads are
all right if you do not add the dress
ing until Just before it is time to
serve them
