Pudding Question
Settled in PorIey
At White House

The question Of Ozark puddins
was more or less settled during q
White House housekeeping press
conference today.
A recipe for the pudding was do.
mated by Mrs. Truman on q request
of the Congressional Club, which
annually publishes Congressional
Cook Book. It was not original with
Mrs. Truman.
A woman correspondent for
Northwestern newspapers reported
to Mrs. James M. Helm, social Sec
retary of the White House, and to
Miss Reathel Odum, personal secre-
tary to Mrs. Truman and Miss Mar
garet Truman, that she'd had pro-
tests on the pudding after publica-
ton Of the recipe.
Had the White House had any
letter protests?"
The answer: There had been no
letters but phone call.
Another woman correspondent
kneaded the situation:
The controversy seemed to be
over the amount and quality OF
flour. The recipe calls for two table.
spoons. Il tried it and it worked all
right-maybe a little rubbery, but
eatable," she said.
