More on Southern COOKING

To the Editor OF The Star.
In your edition OF March % you printed
letter TO the Editor signed Z" stating. 1T is
absolutely untrue that restaurant owners
cannot afford to serve Southern cooking
profltably." or words to that effect; and the
writer mentioned an article on the subject
that had appeared in a magazine.
Let's take the article first: The author
picked a subject as sure-fire as God and
Country Home and Mother or Hooray for
America end did a slick job He got paid. so
he's happy; the magazine had an article with
reader interest so It's editors are happy. and
u" is perturbed, his adrenalin count went
up and he feels good so he is probably happy.
I, however. am unhappy Here is another
instance of a person who knows nothing of
restaurant operation setting himself up as
an authority. II he means Antoine's Of New
Orleans as representative of Southern cook
ing, he is as far wrong as II l mentioned
chateaubriand from the Waldorf as typical
OF New York cuisine. I have travelled through
the South. and by and large you'll 1nd more
hog and hominy. grits and grunts. than you
will find delectable fried chicken or seafood
a la ~" You'll find no lamb. very little
veal; and any beef will be cooked done
meaning that there's practically no rare
roast beef between here and the Gulf.
The few fine homes of those in the upper
brackets will boast menus comparable TO
those of the wealthy in other parts of the
country, with due allowance for regional spe-
calties; but the great mass Of the common
people below the Mason and Dixons line eat
the foods they like, and they are not good
when judged from the sourmets point of
view.
Here in my little restaurant I serve a lot of
boys from the South and give 'em what they
want--hot biscuits. snaps with pork. meat
loaf, beef stew, well-done steaks. mashed po
tatoes with gravy. baked ham. etc. They love
this kind of eating. and who am TO steer
them away from all of this. including the
beans and potlikker that have made them
what they are today?

Italy and the Atlantic Pact

Ie Lst EG4sos q IAf
II is most regrettahle that there should oe
any possible association between the North
Atlantic treaty and the imperiaiist4c os
signs Of the signato.ies. This association is
nonetheless dramatically revealed by the AZ
rival OF Count Sforxa the Italian Foreign
Minister. in the United States and the openly
svowed intention Of discussion with the State
Department OF an Italian trustaeship over
the former Italian colonies in Africa. APP
parently. the liberal" Italian foreign secre-
tary came a week before the signing Of the
treaty in order 10 have ample time 10 discuss
the subject. An Italian trusteeship over even
Italian Somaliland. the policy which the
United States Is reported as having already
approved. is absolutely indefensibie IN view
OF the well-documented record Of Italian
atrocities in Ethiopia. II the United States
should 20 one inch further in yielding 10
the Italian demands for a trusteeship over
all the former Italian colonies one would be
entirely justified in concluding that such q
concession would be the auid pro QUO for

PIays Stressed Above Theater

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is interesting to notice the number OF
people that are jumping on the bandwagon
Of the Belasco Theater project.
People who have criticized drama groups
now are indorsing the plan. No doubt these
same people will be present each opening
night, looking extremely wise. Such people
are referred to as loving the theater."
Because Of my own interest in drama,
derived from study in a dramatic school.
I would thrill at seeing a dozen legitimate
theaters in the Nations Capital However,
I would like to point out that 1t Is not the
building that will keep people coming TO
see plays. but the plays themselves Should
the Belasco open, I hope that those produc-
ing plays there will not merely open and
close the curtain. but try to have what
happens between the curtains be theater.
The Belasco will close just as fast as thea
ters in New York City have been closing in
the past two decades. If the plays become
sociological, philosophical and what have
you. The fate of living theater" in Wash
ington. D. c.. or anywhere else. rests In
the play, and not in four wallis.

Our Hospitality Is Limited

Whether one takes the pro view or the
con view, 1t Is hard to get particularly
excited over the State Departments deci-
sion to restrict the travels of the eighteen
Soviet and satellite delegates who are still
in our midst after having contributed their
artistic anti-American best to New York's
recent "Cultural~and Scientific Conference
for World Peace"
On the one hand, taking the con view,
it may be argued that the State Depart
ment has played into the hands of the
propagandists behind the Iron Curtain by
telling the eighteen to return to their
native lands as promptly as possible and
by forbidding them to take part in peace
rallies" scheduled for such places as Balti-
more, Detroit ST. Louis and Los Angeles.
Certainly, If they had not been barred,
the Nation would not have teetered on the
brink of peril, so the mere act of barring
them may therefore be attacked as an
unwise and basically silly move that can
serve only to enable Pravda, Izvestia and
the Moscow radio to cut loose with some
more hogwash about censorship and sup
pressed freedom in imperialistic, war
mongering America.
On the other hand, however, taking the
pro view, 1t is pertinent to note that the
State Departments decision is in keeping
with the strict letter of the law regarding
alien Communists. It is pertinent to note,
too, that the unwelcorne delegates are here
on special visas issued with the under
standing that their activities would not
extend beyond their participation in last
week ends cultural and scientific" bur-
lesque in New York. Moreover, since they
themselves rejected an invitation by the
National Association of Manufacturers to
tour various industrial centers to see how
our free-enterprise system operates. it may
be asked, why should they have been
allowed to 60 from place to place to attack
that system, in one way or another, on
the basis of their vast misinformation
about It?
Besides, again taking the pro view. other
points may be made in favor of the State
Department For one thing, the delegates
have amply demonstrated that they have
nothing to offer in terms of promoting
friendly scientific or cultural relations be-
tween East and West. For another thing,
since they have mouthed only rude propa-
ganda against us in New York, 1t does not
seem especially ungracious for the United
States, as host country, to refuse to let
them do the same elsewhere in the coun-
try. Finally, 1t may be said that the ban
has the virtue of saving lot Of Americans
from the boredom of hearing these
theological transformers repeat the Krem-
Inns threadbare line over and over again
on q coast-to-coast tour-a line which
would remain old and dull even II pune

Another Pension Scheme

Chairman Rankin Of the House Veterans
Committee does not discourage easily. He
has bounced back from his House admin
istered rebuff on the pensions-for- all-vet-
Grams measure with a new bill that would
limit the monthly gratuities TO Older vet
Grams of World War I whose incomes are
low. While 1t Is far less Objectionable
proposal than his original American Le-
gion-sponsored plan, 1t would still cost
lot of money that might be invested 10
better advantage-in veterans hospitals.
for example.
A preliminary rough estimate by the Vet
erans' Administration puts the total cost
of the substitute plan at $6,752, 900 900 over
the next fifty years, as compared with
$125, ,000, ,000,0 900 for the defeated program.
The proposed s72-asmonth pensions would
60 to single veterans with incomes of not
more than s., 900 year and married vet
erans with incomes Of less than s., 900. The
estimated annual cost of the plan would
rise from $685., 900 next year to more
than $3.50, ,000, 900 in 1865. And already there
are reports that efforts will be made to en-
large the scope of the bill so as to extend
its benefits to veterans of World War H.
That would multiply the eventual cost OF
the measure many times over.
There has been no persuasive showing to
date that this new pension plan is neces-
sary or advisable Existing veterans dis
ability compensation laws provide pensions
for unemployable veterans with permanent
and total disability. provided their incomes
are less than 81 900 a year II single and
$2,500 If married. These benefits average
$100, ,000,0 900 year. Furthermore, the Vet
erans' Administration says that under
present laws 1t Is authorized to pay s72-a-
month pensions to unemployable, low-in-
come veterans of IS who are at least 10
per cent disabled. The VA estimates that
approximately 80 per cent of all 65-year-
old veterans show 10 per cent disability,
although only fourth of these can qualify
under the income and employability re-
strictions.
All In all, there seems to be no overriding
arguments in favor of the new pension
scheme, while there are sound budgetary
reasons against adopting it in these times
OF mounting Federal deficits. The bill
should be consigned to the same pigeon
hole in which the other pension proposal
Is resting
