 In London at Buckingham Pal ace last night the British King and Queen threw their annual Christ mas party for the hired help. The queen danced with the footman and Princess Margaret waltzed with the clock -winder. The King, recuperating slowly from a leg ailment sat on the sidelines.
 At Lake Success, the U. N. trus- teeship council closed shop for a month long Christmas recess. Its last act was to ask Israel to trans fer it's government offices back to Tel Aviv.

 In harmony with the peace theme, the Supreme Soviet Presi- dium set up new annual interna- tional Stalin peace prizes.

 But the walkout, the eight Rus sian delegates avoided hearing c eral Douglas MacArthur's charge that 374,041 Japanese have died in Soviet prison camps from brutal treatment.
 The Soviet leader, It. Gen. Kuz- ma Derevyanko, contended the four-poWer group-U. S., Britain, China, and RuSSia-had no busi- ness discussing repatriation.
 In Washington there was specu- lation on the successor to Stalin. The secret is locked in the Krem- lin. However diplomats close to Russian affairs picked V. M. Mol otov as the man most likely to succeed in power.
 They said he would be aided by two top lieutenants Georgi M. Ma lenkOV, AT, who now controls the communist party machine under Stalin, and Lavrenti Beria. 50, a super-chief of the Russian police. The diplomats forecast an ultimate struggle for absolute personal

WhyG:row
Old?
By Josebhine Lowman

Planning meals when prices are
as high as they are now Is some
what like planning reducing
menusl There is not much money
nor are there many calories left
over for fancy food.
However, many housekeepers
make the mistake, In such O cru
cial time, Of marking off foods
which are actually essential be-
cause they do not recognize them
as being 50. I am thinking Of
items such as milk and fresh fruits
and vegetables. A big plate Of
grits and bread and butter. and a
cup of tea, will fill you up but it
will not build health or beauty as
q regular diet.
When planning your menus
while trying to-cut costs remember
q few things. Milk is an economic
food because it supplies 50 many
necessary food values. Oatmeal
and whole grain foods are mex
pensive and give you many fine
food values.
An oatmeal loaf with q fiavorful
sauce can act as a meat substitute.
Baked potatoes are healthful.
Some of the food value Is lost in
boiling and frying. Bake them
and eat the skins, too. unless there
Is some special personal reason
for not doing so. Carrots are fine
and usually fairly cheap. The
same goes for cabbage. Cold
slaw is inexpensive and healthful.

From Parent and Child"

By Betty Miles

Parent and Child, by Catherine
Mackenzie civilian Sloane As
sociates, $3.50.
Here Is a book that might safely
carry a "money-back" guarantee.
Crammed with information and
arresting anecdotes, this warm
and entertaining guide for par
ents is one we'll wager you'll
treasure, and sell your friends on,
too.
The book is composed of articles
written by Miss Catherine Mac
kenzie for her 10-year- old column,
Parent and Child" that is a
regular feature of the New York
Times Sunday magazine. Miss
Mackenzie has visited many ex-
perts and many schools in COM
piling her material, blending
beautifully careful and accurate
reporting of what these experts
had to say with her own under
standing and grasp of the world
of children and their parents.
1--WE often wonder why biog-
raphies do not appear in reading
lists on child development" Miss
Mackenzie declares. THE lives of
real people, the influences-of
people and events-that shaped
their thinking and gave direction
to their work seem to us endless
and fascinating and revealing.
ANY one interested in memoirs,
letters, biography and autobiog-
raphy will realize how revealing
they are. Sixteen-year-old Thack-
cry, sent home from India to a
hated school, knelt every night to
say, Pray God, I may dream of

Says

Having been for years about
the only American in this country
at least in the East-who had
not been to see the restoration Of
Colonial Williamsburg, I decided
to spend a week end there and
see what every one raved about.
I managed to eat in most of
the famous places, but found
Travis House and the Williams
burg Inn excellent. The Inns
fried oysters that have been rolled
in corn meal are special treat
and they also top thin. fried veal,
outlets with slices Of grilled pine
appleva taste combination I had
not thought of before, but found
delicious.
Travis House spreads before one
Ia bewildering display of good
things-among them the picked
crab apples and ginger cakes
stand out in my mind. And espe-
cially noteworthy was the fried
chicken and the green gage plum
ice cream-the Inn, by the way,
offered a splendid pink pepper
mint ice cream that was a delight,
too.
From what I gathered, the
Travis House chicken was cooked
this way: The chickens were
jointed, washed and drained.
