NEW YORK. Sept. 16 R.-Lt
Col. George Kovach said today it..
strictly nonsense that he ever
made or tried to make Laszlo Rajk
an anti-Communist agent.
Rajk, pleading guilty in Buda-

garian government, had testified
that Col. Kovach forced him or

against the Red-dominated re-
gime.

Kovach said. HE was not gov
ernment minister when I was in
Budapest and, while I saw him at
various parties, I had no desire
to meet him.
1T is just one Of those nicely
built-up Communist stories"

Kovach said. "Our purpose was tc

rebuild Hungary.
"This we found impossible be-
cause of the Russians. They
thwarted our efforts and tried te
belittle all that we did.
"As for spies-it was the Other
way around. Our mission was
flooded with spies from the politi-
cal department Of the War Min
istry."
Col. Kovach also denied Rajk's
statement that Martin Himmlel

| Here're Must
| And Maybe Lists
For Holidays
BY AGNES SUNNELL
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture
Extension Agent at Large

Do you expect the holiday season
to find you short of time = little
breathless and hurried? Start early
/ to make plan. Here's a suggestion.
How about two lists the must"
| and maybe" lists. The must" con-
tains the things you'll have to do.
The maybe, those not so impor-
tant Size up the situation and see
how many "musts" can be moved
to maybe in case the going gets
bad.
Right along with planning her
time, the wise manager plans her
meals. The less time and money you
have. the better the planning must
be.
/. Keep a file of simple, easy re-
cipes for inexpensive dishes. Most
of us eat too much rich food at holi-
days.
2. The first principle of good mar
keting is to have plan. Disorgani-
zed buying leads to unnecessary ex-
pense and an accumulation of foods
that may be wasted
g. Take stock of all 1ood on hand
before planning meals to avoid un-
necessary purchases and waste.
A. Plan menus of foods which are
most abundant on the market be-
cause these are usually the best
buys.
s. Root vegetables and apples are
plentiful now and should be used
often.
6. Plan meals for several days or
even a week at time. Have better
balanced meals with less cost in
money and labor in cooking.
7. Make a market list with few
alternate choices of equal food value.
This helps save time at the market
and helps to avoid poor selection.
g. Prepare the food in a tasty and
attractive manner so the family will
enjoy the food and not allow it to
be wasted.
8. Balanced meals often cost less
than. unbalanced meals.
