Egg In Coffee

699 IN SO44e0
Here'sthe answer to a current
question about using an egg in
coffee. The only possible reason
for using either an egg or an egg
shell in brewing coffee is to clar-
ify the brew. The insoluble solids
in the roasted coffee adhere to
the albumin in the egg. The egg
does not 'sbring out" the flavor
Of the coffee as sometimes claire-
ed. A few drops Of cold water
springled into the finished brew
serve the same purpose Of clari-
flying coffee by causing the In
soluble solids to settle at the
bottom Of the pot.

size alone will not insure good
Fit. Rayon slips Of any given size
vary greatly in cut. design ana

Bill 10 Admit Canadians
To Service Schools Siqned

President Truman today signed
with personal pleasure and salts
faction" legislation admitting Cana
dians to Annapolis and West Point
The measure brings Canada within
a law under which the American re-
publics may send 20 youths annually
to the service schools. No more
than three may come from any
single country.
These men should benefit by the
experience gained at the two insti-
tutions. while our young men will
derive a broader background and
perspective from knowing Canadians
at the closer range" the President
said. The associations found in
common during these undergrad
uate years should serve to strength
en- still more the excellent relation
ship founded on full friendship and
mutual confidence which exists be-

Court Backs Reporter
.0n Refusal 10 Name
Sources for Story
By the Assoeiotsd Press

CLINTON, Tenn, June l.-Circuit
Judge Jesse L. Rogers ruled yester-
day that Nat Caldwell, reporter for
the Nashville Tennessean, does not
have to disclose sources of informa-
ton contained in a news story.
Judge Rogers dismissed a con-
tempt of court citation against Mr..
Caldwell.
Mr.. Caldwell was cited for con-
tempt last week after he refused to
name persons he said told him a
State highway patrolman owned
part of an Anderson County liquor
store. Mr.. Caldwell said the infor-
nation was obtained in confidence
and he would not violate that con-
fidence.
Conviction of a contempt charge
in Tennessee carries a maximum
penalty of 10 days in Jail and $50
fine
Commissioner Asked Inquiry.
Mr.. Caldwell was called before the
Anderson County grand jury and
Judge Rogers as result Of demands
by State Safety Commissioner Lynn
Bomar. Mr.. Bomar had asked an
investigation of charges contained in
by-lined Caldwell story that State
highway patrolmen had been pro-
viding safe conduct" for bootleg
gers operating out of wet Anderson
County into predominantly dry East
Tennessee.
Judge Rogers said in dismissing
the citation:
The witness gave to the grand
jury certain knowledge which he
got from others. This is hearsay
evidence and worthless for establish
ing the commission of crime. He
refuses to give names OF his in
formants-other than one.
rs he guilty of contempt for re-
fusing to give the other names to
the grand jury?
Evidence Held insufficient.
THE press must of necessity get
its information through others.
Much is given in confidence and I
am unable to hold the witness in
contempt on this matter.
It's true it is hard to have seri-
Gus charges made against public
Official on hearsay evidence, but at
times much good has been done in
this way. 1t puts us all on our
guard and makes us ask ourselves,
Lord, is it I?'"
Later the grand jury formally re-
ported that there was mo evidence
to support Mr. Caldwell's allega-
tions against the highway patrol.

Jury 10 GET Rape Case
.0f Retarded Woman

The grand jury had before 1t to-
day the question Of whether man
can be held on rape charge in a
case where physical force is lacking
and the woman involved is legally an
adult but mentally aged no more
than T.
Judge Walter ]. Casey ruled in
Municipal Court yesterday that the
case should be passed along for
closer scrutiny by the grand Jury
when he bound over George M.
Brown, 26. plasterer, of the 1900
block of Corbin place NE. to the
jury under 5000 bond.
Assistant United States Attorney J..
Warren Wilson argued the mentally
deficient woman could not have
given her free and consenting will, :"
while Defense Counsel John l..
Chapman, jr,. contended there was
no evidence showing rape under the
law since no physical force was
established. The woman was said
to be 80 years old
Testimony by the woman's mother
and police was that the alleged
victim met Brown Saturday night
and accompanied him to his room.
Brown was said to have admitted
with the woman.
Mr.. Wilson insisted the woman
was imposed upon regardless Of
any consent she may have given"

Maryland Democrats
10 Approve
n-7ydings Drive
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE. June 1.-Maryland
Democrats gathered today and are
expected to approve a caucus de-
cision that the States delegation to
the Philadelphia national conven-
ton will be instructed for a Tru-
man-Tydings ticket.
The Caucus decided that Mary
lands 20 votes at Philadelphia will
be cast as unit, with Senator Tyd-
ings, the States senior Senator, a
"favorite son" candidate for the
vice presidency.
The meeting was to be called to
order by former Senator George L.
Radcliffe. temporary chairman. Will
liam C. Walsh. former attorney gen.
eral, was to be named chairman Of
the Resolutions Committee.
Ranking State party leaders met
in caucus last night. Among
those present were Gov. Lane, who
is a national committeeman; SEN
ators Tydings and O'Conor, Mayor
D'Alesandro of Baltimore and
George B. Ennis. chairman of the
State Central Committee.
There was no argument regarding
support of Mr.. Truman's bid for re-
election. A dispute arose, however,
with regard to the vice presidency.
State Controller James J. Lacy
proposed that the Maryland dele
cation be instructed to vote for
James A. Farley, former Postmaster
General. for Vice President.
He was overruled. Furthermore,
the party chieftains decided that the
Maryland delegation would be sub
ject to unit rule, under which it
would be bound to act as a block.
Mr.. Lacy said that If unit rule
prevailed, he would prefer not to
be a delegate. He then left the
meeting.
The convention will pick IL dele
gates from the congressional dis
tricts, each with a full vote, and l6
delegates-at-large. each with half
vote.
If the delegation is instructed to
cast its 20 votes for the President,
Maryland would be the first South
ern State to pledge its delegates to
do So
Gov. Lane is chairman of the
Southern Governors Conference. He
was silent and neutral, however,
when President Truman's civil
rights recommendations created talk

Under the present system it is

Il am opposed to the present sys-
tenn. A system with only 'satlsfac-
tory and unsatisfactory would pre-
vent straw bosses from advancing
their personal friends at the ex-
pense of competent employees. The

Select supervisors through spe-
cial qualification tests, instead OF
the present method of Government
officials choosing anybody they want
to for the jobs. Then you will see
an improvement in efficiency rat
,ings."
Here's my answer in four words:
Smells to high heaven.
PAY RAISES-Pay-raise sponsors
will make an effort this week to get
President Truman's Endorsement OF
Government pay raise legislation.
There's no doubt Mr.. Truman will
sign any pay bill passed by Congress.
But pay bill advocates feel their
cause will be helped if Mr.. Truman
of1icially reverses his stand OF last
January when he opposed wage in
creases for Government workers.
A number of House Republicans
have used the Presidents stand as
an excuse for delay on the bill. Pay
raise sponsors feel that fortnight
stand by the President right now
would put the Republicans squarely
on the spot on the pay-raise issue.
The consensus on Capitol Hill is
that the odds still favor passage of
pay-raise legislation. But 1t Is by
no means certain. That's why Mr..
Truman's support is being sought to
give legislat ton added momentum.
THOUGHT OF THE WEEK-All
Aboard, the official monthly publi-
cation of Railroad Retirement Board
employees, has this word to the wise:
ITS better to have loved short

GOOD BILL-The House has ap-

report on legislation which would
grant back pay and all seniority
rights to Government employees who
have been fired unjustly from their
jobs
Senate approval is certain, and
President Truman is expected to
sign the measure into law.

the alleged conspiracy and no
showing had been made of viola

Mr. Kramer requested that a

admitted as against the Washing

Justice Curran denied the requests.

rected verdict, in the absence of the

association was not involved.
Failure to Prove Meeting Charged.
Not a single, solitary word is in
the record that links a national
association official in any way with

that we had no part in 1t in any

that the national association ever
