RESTRICTION STOPS INDIAN
 RESERVATIONS

WASHINGTON, March 20-R-- A plea that Indians in Alaska be treated as Americans, not as ''sec- ond class citizens" led House Ap- propriations subcommittee to write it's prohibition against use of any Interior Department funds for na- tive elections on the question of establishing reservations for them.
 Rep. Jackson (D-Wash), former chairman of the old House Com mittee on Indian Affairs, made the plea, it was learned today.
 The restriction, written into the Indian section of the bill, reads:
 "A policy of placing Alaska In- dians, Eskimos and Aleuts on reser- vations appears to be devoid of merit, retrogressive. unnecessary and indefensible from the stand point of settling native land claims. Therefore, none of the funds appro- priated for the Bureau of Indian Affairs should be used in connec- ton with pending reservation orders or reservation orders which might be hereafter signed"
 Secretary of Interior Chapman authorized one election at Barrow Feb. 4. The Eskimos there defeated the reservation proposal. Chapman postponed two other elections until late in April"
 Apply Civil Rights"
 Tt is high time" Jackson told reporter today, ito stop treating the Indian as a second class citi- zen. Indians ought to be treated just as other citizens and assimi- lated into our population. Why talk about civil rights program if we are not going to apply it to the first Americans"
 Jackson criticized the Interior Departments handling of Indian Affairs, including operation of schools for Indian children alone.
 Tt is just a Jim Crow program for the Indians and should be ended" he said. T believe the h. dians should be given the same status as other Americans and where necessary the government should make loans and grants to help them reach their proper place in our civilization"

CANADIANS TO TRY MAY E OPENING
 OF HAYNES CUTOFF

Canadian highway engineers hope to open the 160-mile Haines cutoff road about May 15, beating the 1949 opening date by six days short of a. month.
 This information came from Brig. Gen. A. V. Connolly, commander of the Northwest highway system for Canada, stationed at White horse, in response to an inquiry from Col. John R. Moves, head of the Alaska Road Commission.
 The wire follows:
 Impossible to give an accurate date as so much depends upon the weather. If all goes well we expect to have the road open about. May 15. If frost not out of ground by the time the road is opened, it may be necessary to close it for traffic for a period of week or so after opening date"
 The Canadians left snow removal equipment at the summit of Chilkat Pass last fall, to enable an early start this year at the job of clear ing the important cutoff highway.
 Colonel Moves explained if frost still remained when the road is opened, the thawing SHOWS would remain on top the ground and not be absorbed, thus causing mud to hinder travel.
 The Alaskan side of the cutoff is open to traffic at present up to a short distance past Klukwan, not far from the international bound- ary, the colonel said.

Boulware announced that General Electric was actively cam paigning for the Taft Hartley Act, against unions and, above all, against socialism.
 Roosevelt, Truman, Reuther and their ilk are the avoWed enemies of American business" Boulware told his fellow executives in brief "They consider the American busi- nessman thief, cheat and a coward. The time has come for the American businessman to stand up and take a stand for what he believes in.
 Therefore, General Electric" he said, "is taking a strong stand

Jessup Calls Mt(arthy'
 Responsible
Ambassador Ldshes Back at Chdrges-S Says Senator
 Aids Communist Moves

WASHINGTON, March 20-tR- Ambassador Philip c. Jessup de- clared today that Senator Mccarthy tR-Wis), by accusing him of Com munist affinity" showed shock ing disregard for the interests oi our country"
 With sweeping denial of any Communist sympathies, Jessup told Senate Investigating sub- committee that it is matter Of ut most gravity" when an American envoy is held up before the eyes of the rest of the world as a liar and traitor"
 The Ambassador at-Large lashed back at Mccarthy after speeding home from survey mission to the Far East. He said that during his absence his integrity was attacked only by two sources-McCarthy and the Moscow official newspaper Izvestia.
 Jessup added:
 Anyone who believes in the con- cept of guilt by association might draw some startling conclusions from this fact. However. do not believe in the concept of guilt by association.
 Charge Irresponsible"
 Moreover, I do believe that any one who, without adequate proof, levels charge of conscious or ignorant support of Communist at a member of the United States Senate-or at any official of the United States government-is ire sponsible.
 T have no evidence that Senator Mccarthy was motivated by desire to assist the international Com munist movement even though his words and actions have had the effect"
 As to the charges against him, .Jessup said:
 T wish to repeat categorically and without qualification that J am not a Communist and never have been a Communist.
 T am not and have never peen a Communist sympathizer."
 Started 10 Days Ago
 Mccarthy accused Jessup of an unusual affinity for Communist causes" 10 days ago when the Sem ate Foreign Relations subcomnit- tee began hearings on the Wiscon- sin Senator's contention that the State Department is shot through with Communists and their sym pathizers.
 Mccarthy also said that Jessup once sponsored a subversive or ganization.
 Jessup's attack on Mccarthy was the second made by major State Department figure. Deputy Under secretary John E. Peurifoy lashed back at the Senator with counter attack last week.
 Mccarthy on his part has kept up constant fire at the Depart ment and only yesterday called for the custer of Secretary of State Acheson along with what he called the whole ring of untouchables" in the Department.
 When Jessup concluded, there was a sharp burst of applause from the 200 or more spectators crowded into the room.
 The committee wrangled then for half an hour over whether Mc- Carthy and Jessup should be per mitted to cross examine each other. A decision was put off until a later closed meeting of the group.
 During the wrangling, Chairman Tydings (D-Md) chided Mccarthy for not giving the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee a list of II persons that Mccarthy says are Communists or Communist sym pathizers in the State Department Mccarthy said last week that he was mailing the list to Tydings but Tydings said he had not re- ceived it.
 After a whispered conversation with Mccarthy, Senator Hicken- looper (R-Iowa) turned the list of the 81 names over to Tydings

The Chef
Suys-

Canned soups are probably one
of the finest things that could
happen to the American housewife
or bachelor cook. They are so
simple to prepare, and so good
that little has to be done to make
them more appetizing. However,
there are few little tricks that
make all the difference"-the
slice of lemon and hard cooked
egg and the dash of sherry In
black bean; the pinch of oregano
added to cream of tomato soup;
the pinch of dried mint added to
cream of pea; the sprinkle of eel
cry seed to bring out more sharply
the flavor of celery soup, and so
on. A stronger consomme, bouil-
lon or chicken soup may be OBJ
tanned by adding beef extract or
a beef or chicken bouillon cube.
(Also makes the soup go further)
We never tire of experimenting
with the canned soups and COM
bining the various ones is the
most fun of all.
Here are a few of the ones we
have tried out with great success.
Combine the contents of
couple of cans of pea soup with
one OF green turtle. Bring to a
boil, check seasoning, and add
dash of sherry. Top with salted
whipped cream.
Heat together some clam broth
and tomato juice. Season with
cayenne and celery salt. Serve
very hot.
Combine-heated-a couple of
cans Of cream of mushroom soup
with one can Of cream of tomato.
Bring to boiling point, season
well, and add a pinch of mar
1oram and one of basil.
Heat together two cans of
cream of chicken soup and a can
of cream of asparagus soup. Sea-
son with salt and pepper.
Heat together two cans of clam
chowder and one can Of cream
of tomato. Blend we'll and serve
with toasted pilot biscuit-but
don't let certain chowder fans
hear about it!
A couple of cans of pea soup
combined with a can Of tomato
soup and little thin cream makes
a fine "puree mongole." Add q
few julienne strips Of celery to
each serving.
Two cans Of cream Of spinach
soup and can of cream of mush-
room make a fine combination
especially to be remembered on
st. Patrick's Day.

monia in the rinsing water will

Herbs are a natural with fish
especially the bland, uninspiring
type of fish, such as filleted sole
or founder. Someone once wisely
remarked that true sole was the
most overrated backdrop for a
good sauce he had ever discovered
and there was a lot of truth in
what he said. Even the most
delicate lemon sole depends upon
its seasoning or its sauce to attain
the epicurean heights attributed
