Taken Up in Assembly

over charges that religious and

There was a concentrated effort
being made to clean up Greek

Soviet Russia, which has tried
all along to hold a protecting cur

fully to keep the subject out OF
the United Nations.
The United States and Britain
have stood in the way OF U. N.

farthest north consulate.
It is headed by a career diplo-
mat, Vice Consul Edwin D. Crow
ley of 1898 North Washington
boulevard, Arlington, Va. and his
assistant, Yves T. Carlson of Chi
cago. Mr.. Crowley came to this
little mountainside city of wild
winds and whirling snow directly
after service at Nice on the Medi-
terranean.
To Mrs. Carlson goes the honor
of maintaining the farthest north
American home and, in the face
of some obvious difficulties. is
keeping up an establishment that
could not be distinguished. on the
inside, from a home in the sub
urbs Of Washington. There are
two major difhculties-no water
in winter except what can be OBJ
tanned by melting snow and ice,
and the nearest grocery store" is
more than 100 miles away with
which there can be contact not
oftener than once a month.
Provides Excellent Food.
Still Mrs. Carlson has been able
to provide an excellent table with
native foods which may be quite
delicious. Some of them:
Breast of aux with onions. 1t
tastes almost like calf's liver. she
says.
Matak-raw or fried whale skin
which is cut in squares and looks
like black fudge.
Pstarmigan-the native grouse
like bird which is more like duck
than any other meat.
Whale steak. Carefully pre-
pared, this Is indistinguishable
from good beef steak. Greenland
ers prepare it very crudely with a
lot of the blubber attached but
both Danes and Americans can't
endure it unless it has been care
fully scraped.
Smoked whale. This is smoked
for a week in earth ovens by the
Greenlanders for preservation and
is considered the most delicious
dish Greenland affords.
Elder duck. This is the bird
which provides eiderdown. 1t is
quite rigidly protected by law. ex-
cept in certain seasons and the
Americans have been unable to
acquire much of q taste for 1t.
Water is Difficult Problem.
Water in winter is a more diff
cult problem. The wells go dry
with the first heavy freezes which

however, largely has solved the
problem by corraling small ice
bergs and chopping off large
chunks for melting as water is
required. The difficulty is that
there are few icebergs in the
Godthaab ford of suitable size
to be dragged into shore.
Iceberg water is old water, per-

Move 10 Write Rules
On Liquor Labels Into
Law Gains Support
By the Asseciatsd Press

A move to write whisky-la bel
ing regulations into law gained
momentum yesterday as Senator
Chapman, Democrat. of Kentucky
indicated he is giving Serious
consideration" to such a pro-
posal.
He told a reporter he had been
conferring with his colleagues
about drawing up legislation to
govern the labelling OF Bourbon
whisky.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, Of
Arkansas announced earlier he
was preparing legislation to limit
the authority Of the, alcohol tax
unit of the Internal Revenue
Bureau in this respect. At pres
ent, such regulations are issued
as administrative orders.
S9O,O00,000 "Windfall" Seen.
Senator Fulbright said the
bureau is studying a proposed
change in requirements that
would permit "a $90,000,000 wind
fall for owners of whisky now
stored In reused co-operage.
He referred to a proposal to
permit distillers to claim for the
age of whisky the time 1t has
been stored in used barrels in
addition to the period 1t has
been kept in new, charred oak
barrels.
Senator Chapman said he was
reluctant to predict what the bu-
reau's final ruling will be.
THE whisky provision was ap-
proved by the House." he said,
but objections were raised in the
Senate. A f1libuster was threat
ened. And since we didn't want to
lose the many other good provi-
sions in the bill, we agreed to
strike it out when the bill went
to conference.
Public Hearings Last Month.
He said he would prefer q law
instead of administrative rulings
to govern the labelling of whisky.
Deputy Commissioner Carroll
Mealey held public hearings a
month ago on a number of pro-
posals to change label regula-
tions.
Spokesman for a majority Of the
Kentucky distillers protested any
change. arguing that 1t was ira
ditional' for Kentucky Bourbon
to be aged in new cooperage.
Other distillers favored a
change to permit the labelling Of
whisky without regard to whether
1t had been stored in new or used
barrels.
