SALT RISING BREAD.
From Mrs. D. P. c., Bethesda.


This is for Mrs. F. L. B. of Ar

for salt rising bread.

years ago with sketch on front
of the Aunt Alice Medora who
had sent him the recipe in re-
Spouse to what she called a hun

she made her famous salt rising
bread. This is her exact response
"At night, place 3 heaping table

BR|DGE5' CASE PROSECUTION ONLY 1-30vER
Government Expects 10 Wind Up Mid- January
 Have 2OMore Witnesses

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10.-R- After four tumultuous weeks of the Harry Bridges perjury trial, gov- ernment prosecutors estimated to- day they are about one-third through their half of the bitterly tough case. It looks like long trial ahead.
 I'm hoping to wind up the gov- ernment case by mid January" said Chief Prosecutor F. Joseph Dono- hue.
 The prosecution so far has scored with what it calls its Sunday Punch" witness, backed by some corroborating testimony in it's effort to prove that Bridges. left-wing CIO longshore labor leader. was and is a Communist.
 The -slugging defense team of Vincent Hallinan and James Mac. Innis has fought every step. Court room noises sometimes threatens to drown the simple charge: That 1 Bridges, native of Australia, lied under oath when he was natiiralized in September, 1945. He said he was not and had not been a member of the Communist Party.
 So far five of some 25 available prosecution witnesses have testified. The government says this time it "has the goods on Bridges. Twice before, but in deporatation. not crim- inal, proceedings. the government failed to make the Communist label stick.
 Also on trial are Bridges two witt nesses at this naturalization pro- ceedings, Henry Schmidt and J. R. Robertson, charged with helping him obtain citizenship by fraud. All three are charged with conspiracy. The defense launched violent at tacks on all the testimony in cross examination, with varying success. It challenged creditibility, dwelt upon asserted enmity of witnesses for Bridges.
 Every trick n the nag popped out in defense tactics. I'm entitled to trap lying witnesses by any trick I can-I make no apology for my method" snapped Hallinan once. He is under six-month jail sen- tence for contempt, slapped on early in the trial by Federal Judge George Harris. based on courtroom conduct and flouting of court rulings. The sentence is to be served after the trial. An appeal is in progress. ], Prosecutor Donohue promises an-
 other punch witness" early next
 week.

UNBALANCED BUDGET SAID
 BITTER GIFT

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10-tR- Lawmakers greeted without sur prise today the news that President Truman won't suhmit balanced budget to Congress, but they split on what to do about it.
 Rep. Reed (R-NY) called the announcement by Budget Director Frank Pace "a bitter Christmas present" for Americans-"a although 1t is not wholly unexpected'-and demanded a cut in spending.
 But Senator Thye (R-Minn) said that while he favors economy, he opposes the view of most of the colleagues with whom he travelled to Europe that the cuts should be made in foreign recovery funds.
 Pace made his statement about the budget outlook yesterday at Key West, Fla, after conference with MT. Truman. Pace said there is little probability of balancing the Federal Budget next year un- less Congress votes new taxes.
 Congress members already have made it fairly plain that they don't take kindly to the idea of tipping taxes. Reed said in his statement:
 "On the eve of Christmas the over-taxed American who is now paying more than 25 percent of his income to be governed is told that he will have to dig deeper next year.
 'The people of the nation have received bitter Christmas present from the government, the news that it will cost them a lot more dollars to let the Truman administration govern them"

AU55IE5 TURN LABOR GOVT.
 OUT OF POWER
Follows New Zealand : Party Comedies Defeat
 as GA Seats Assured

SYDNEY, Australia, Dec. 10-tR The Australian people turned out their Labor government in a gen. eral election yesterday.
 The Liberal-Country party coali- tion, standing for a return to the free enterprise system as opposed to continued Socialism, has won or as good as won-64 seats in a lower house of 121 voting Represent tatives.
 The ruling Labor party. which has been in power eight years, has won-or as good as won-50 seats There is no reasonable doubt about these results, although the final count in some of them is not yet in. Seven seats remain in doubt.
 (In London, the Australian News and Information Bureau, an agency of the Labor government, an- nounced that Labor had conceded defeat. It quoted Radio Australia as saying the opposition had won at least 62 seats, perhaps 68)
 Thus, Australia followed New Zealand in the British Common wealth trend to the right.
 Robert Gordon Menzies, the Lib eral leader, who will become Prime Minister, commented after hearing the New Zealand results last week.
 The Socialists were brought to power in New Zealand, Australia and Great Britain in that order. This dramatic result seems happy omen that they will go out in the same order"
 Great Britain must hold general elections before next July. Labor had been in the saddle IA years in New Zealand, eight years in Aus tralia. It has been in power ill Britain since 1945.

KOIDERN, Yukon Territory, Dec. 10-tR-Maine's Alaska Highway "musher" is finding dog food a problem in the early stages of his 5,000-mile trip by sled.
 A truck driver gets gasoline more easily along the highway than Cecil A. (Mush) Moore has been getting dog food on his sub-zero trek homeward to Lewiston, Me The dogs needs their fuel re- fills oftener.
 Moore said he had made as much as 40 miles day along the high way since leaving Fairbanks Nov. IA
 For two weeks he has been trav- cling in 20 below temperatures. He was over the 350-mile mark upon arrival here.
 Once, before crossing the Alaska Yukon border. he said, T had to hitch the dogs out and set out on foot to an Indian fish camp about three miles through the woods. l tried to buy fish for the dogs, but the Indians were having drunken pow-wow and refused to sell me any fish. Tn the bright moonlight walked to the Scotty Creek trad ing post. They had 50 pounds oi dog food and I took it back in the morning."
 He met dog "refueling" disap- pointment again at the Dry Creek trading post after 28-mile mush III five and half hours. A ship ment scheduled by truck had failed to arrive there ahead of him. Moore stayed at highway main- tenance camp near here Thursday night. A Yukon couple took hin in and provided 10 pounds of doe food.
 He expects to make it to Bur wash Landing this weekend, where 1 an ample fish supply is reported. Moore is making the gruelint trip to Maine with a large cargo O i mail with special stamps to rais money for a children's fund O his home town Lions club.
