Mrs. Trnman'S Recipe
When all the guests had been
received in about an hours time
The receiving line sat down and
rested for IS minutes before the
honor guests left. It was then
that Mrs. Truman learned from
Mrs. Smith, chairman of the
Congressional Cook Book, that the
famed edition will be out next
week. The first lady has written
the foreword and contributed
three recipes, but is sorry she
ever thought of giving one of
them. It's called Ozark pudding.
and is rapidly making a name for
itself by not turning out properly.
That, says Mrs. Truman, is be-
cause it is an oldtime recipe that
calls for slow and lengthy egg
beating with fork, instead of
modern quick-heating methods.
Mrs. Carroll D. Kearns, chair
man Of the reception committee,
was there with her husband, who
was not doing too much standing

To Take Poll on
Membership Rules
Bv Frances Lide

A poll on whether members ot
the Arlington Branch, American
Association of University Women
believe that all women eligible fol
national membership in the AAUW
should be eligible for local branches
will be taken at general meeting
of the organization on Tuesday
night.
The question will be put before
the branch as a result of the con-
troversy over membership regula-
tions between the Washington
Branch and the national associa-
ton.
The dispute grew out of the
Washington groups refusal to
admit a colored university grad
uate, with the national association
contending that the bylaws of
the local branch were in conflict
with the national bylaws.
Chief Justice Bolitha j. Laws
of District Court ruled in favor OF
the Washington Branch in its
fight against expulsion by the
national association and the lat
ter has appealed the court order,
The Board of Directors of the ma
tional organization also an
nounced last summer that the
issue on membership would be
resolved completely by the asso-
cations internal procedures q at
the biennial convention at Seattle
in June"
Arlington members, VINO will
meet at 8 pm. Tuesday at the
Lyon Park Community House,
will be asked to vote on two ques-
tions:
do you prefer branches to be
independent of the national Or
ganization or do you prefer
branches to be a part Of unified
national organization?
do you believe all women ell
gible for national membership in
AAUW should be eligible for local
branches or should each branch
have the right to choose or reject
women who are eligible for ma
tional membership"
Arlington delegates to the bien-
nial convention will be instructed
to act in accordance with the
opinion of the branch as expressed
in the poll.
The delegation has not been
completed, but will include Mrs.
Charles S. Goode, an Arlington
member who is secretary Of the
South Atlantic Region. Mrs.
Robert w. Cox Is president Of the
branch.
The Board of Directors Of the
national association has asked
every branch to make a careful
study of proposed revisions Of the
bylaws which are being drafted
for presentation at the Seattle
meeting.
The subject was discussed in
the winter issue of the AAUW
Journal which pointed out that
a thorough revision" Of the
