comparatively easy task for Mrs.
Jones. She loves cooking-started
learning as a child from her
mothers Belgian cook.
She also has a tWo-way interest
in France. Her maternal grand
father came from France as boy.
She, herself. majored in French
at Smith College, and upon grad
uation lived in France for two
years, spending one in Paris and
the other with family In
Grenoble.
Two of the recipes in the new
cookbook, one for a veal dish and
the other for bouillon ssuce,
were sent to Mrs. Jones by "her
Grenoble family"
You know, contrary to what
most of us think. French cooking
is not all sauces and highly spiced
ingredients" Mrs. Jones remarked
in an interview. II think the
French bring out the flavor of
things rather than cover it up,
whereas Americans tend to use a
great deal of barbecue and bottled
sauces.
Americans Eot More Pies
1--WE eat more pies than they
do, too," she added, remembering
her life in France where fruit or
cheese is the customary dessert.
THE French indulge in fancy
pastries only on rare occasions or
for tea," she explained.
Mrs. Jones speculated on what
effect our modern electric cooking
gadgets would have on French
cuisine if introduced in that coun-
try on a wholesale scale. "1've
often wondered if our mixmasters
and electric stoves would entlce
them to take short cuts" she said.
But, in the final analysis, don't
think they would change"
The cookbook. which had a first
printing of 1000 copies. is now
slated for a second printing in the
near future. Members who are
selling it among their friends re-
port an enthusiastic response.

Joseph M. Jones. jr., whose mother
and aunt got together a similar
cookbook after World War I.
Like it's predecessor, proceeds
from the new book will be used
for French relief.
The first cookbook, published in
1915 as a private venture by
Grace Clergue Harrison, Mrs.
Jones mother, and Gertrude
Clergue, her aunt, realized be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 for French
war relief. Two years later its
popularity resulted in the print
ing of a French edition. Entitled
"Allied Cookery" it contained not
only French and American re-
cipes, but food favorites of other
World War I allies. including
England, Belgium, Italy, Russia
and Japan.
French Recipes Predominote
The new cookbook, entitled
"Nos Meilleures Recettes" ("Our
Best Recipes"), opens with a
foreword by Nine. Jean Chatel,
founder and honorary president OF
the club, and Mrs. John c. Mac
Arthur, the present head of the
group. Explaining the predomi-
nance of French dishes in the
book, they point out, taste in all
the arts, including the art of cook
ing, is an outstanding quality OF
the French"
A special page in the front OF
the book goes to Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt and Lily Pons, with their
recipes for blueberry pudding and
brioche. The French stage and
screen star. Maurice Chevalier,
has supplied a greeting.
Although Mrs. Jones stresses
that the volume is a club en-
deavor, it was she who translated
all the French recipes into Eng
lish, including their equivalent
metric measurements.
Compiling the little silver paper
covered cookbook, however, was

Move Toward
 Statehood Is
 Devised Here
Third Division Legislators 10 Ask Convention
 in March
By JIM HUTCHINSON

A group of Third Division Legis- lators disclosed today plan for a shortcut to statehood.
 They decided at a caucus Friday night to introduce bill at the opening of the regular legislative session Monday which would set up machinery to beat out Hawaii as t.sc 4Yln state.
 A convention would be provided to draft an Alaskan state const tu- ton without waiting any longer for Congress to open the statehood gate.
 I.le legislators said that records show IA states drafted constitutions before Congress enacted enabling acts for them.
 Rep. Stanley McCutcheon, Demo- cratic floor leader who described 1949 as the year of golden oppor- tunity' for becoming the 18th State. said the tentative plan calls for the holding of a convention and the cit ction of two congressman and two senators.
 Tn effect it would tell Congress "here we are" when it convenes for it's second session next JRnuaFy. Sc- Cutcheon explained
 The tentative strategy is this.
 A referendum vote for a conven- ton would be held promptly. It would aut horize a constitutional convention to m eet Immediately upon the legislatures adjournment in March. Legislators would choose nine others to sit with them in convention Four of the nine would be federal judges. to continue the numerical scheme that would total 49.
 The draft of the constitution then would be submitted to the voters for ratification at special election and plan would be outlined for electing senators and congressman.
 McCutcheon said that Attorney General Ralph Rivers will assist in drafting the bill over the weekend. He added that Governor Gruening endorsed the idea when it was pre- sented to him this week. Others in the caucus were Reps. Alfred A. Owen, Jr., William A. Egan, c. (Red) Carlson and c. A. Pollard, and Sens. Walter Huntley and Steve McCutcheon, all of the Third Division.

Surviving Crewman Walks 5 Miles Through Snow
 to Give Information

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Jan. 22. -tR--Four of 12 crewmen were kill ed last night when B-29 crashed into a snow blanketed field minutes after taking off from the Great Falls Air Base.

 The 18th Air Force plane was on a flight to its home base at Spokane, Wash, from the Smoky Hill base at Salina, Kans.
 A crewman who was thrown clear trudged five miles through heavy snow back to the base to notify of ficials of the crash. Four-wheel- drive trucks were used to blow through four-foot snowdrifts to evacuate the injured.
 There was no fire after the crash. Planes were sent aloft to drop flares to locate the wreckage. The dazed crewman was unable to guide the rescuers back. to the scene.
 The nose section was snapped from the fuselage and hurled 100 yards away. The four engines and deeris were scattered for 800 yards.

ALASKA VESSEL
 CHARGED WITH
 LAW VIOLATION

SEATTLE, Jan. 22.-iR-Charges were on file in Federal District Court against the fishing vessel Reefer King. saying it violated navigation rules in hauling cargo to Honolulu in October.
 The action, filed by the U. s. At torney's office. sought condemnation and sale of the craft to pay Sl,- 900 fine assessed in November.
 Coast Guard headquarters report ed the Reefer King did not comply with inspection, load line and man. ming requirements in making the Hawaii trip with general cargo. w. D. Suryan. vessel manager, said such trips were customary in the Alaska trade and the owner thought them permissible for Hawaiian voyages.
