HOMEMADE ICE CREAM

fFrom Mrs. w. E. S., Hyattsuille.j
This is our favorite recipe for
homemade ice cream. Three cups
light cream or top milk, cup
milk, 2 tablespoons cornstarch. 2
tablespoons milk. we'll. beaten
eggs, u cup sugar, teaspoons
vanilla.
Scald cream and / cup milk;
add cornstarch dissolved in 2
tablespoons milk; cook until
slightly thick. stirring constantly.
Add a little of hot mixture to
eggs; stir into remaining hot mix
ture and cook until thick. Remove
from heat; add sugar and beat
until smooth. Cool thoroughly.
Add vanilla. Freeze in ice cream
freezer. Remove dasher and pack
for at least 80 minutes.
The richness of this recipe may
be varied to suit individual taste.
by alternating the proportions of
cream to milk. My husband likes
it best when I use 2 cups top
milk and 2 cups whole milk. This
can be used as a basic recipe.
After ice cream has been frozen
until it is slightly mushy any
fruit or nuts may be added if de-
sired. We like black walnut,
banana and strawberry. Melt
chocolate in the scalded milk to
make chocolate flavor. This recipe
works out nicely in our two quart
freezer with fruit added. Re-
member you will have at least
third more frozen mixture than
liquid.
We crush ice cubes for the
freezing process and have ice
cream often in the summer time.
For delicious sherbert, run 2
cans apricots through a colander.
Mix juice and strained pulp with
about cup sugar depending
on sweetness of fruit. Juice of
u lemon may be added if de-
sired. Freeze in hand freezer.
May be frozen in refrigerator If
1t is stirred once during the
process.

TITO LOOKS WESTWARD

There appears in print, Associated Press dis patches and by special writers just how Tito is showing self reliance in his country
 Recently, the Washington Post in an editorial discussed the situation follows:
 Marshal Tito seems determined to prove that his country live and prosper without the slightest dependence it's former Communist allies The signing of five-year trade agreement with Britain is impressive evidence of the switch n the Yugoslav economy. The Soviet dominated countries, under Cominform orders thought they could crack whip Tito by virtually cutting off trade relations with him. His response has been to substitute trade rea- tions with the West The trade agreement with Britain covers estimated 616 millions dollars worth of two- way trade five years it means that Yugoslavia can sell timber metal and food products ln exchange for British manufactures the British have driven a hard bargain knowing how badly Tito needed the agreement They have allowed Tito banking credit of only eight million pounds, which is far less than he wanted or needed.
 The United States can hardly make comparable trade agreement, since Yugosava can sell little to us except strategic materials But the United States can do great deal more than heretofore to insure Yugoslava's economic survival. We should use our undoubted power in Western Germany to enlarge the wholly inadequate trade agreement between Yugoslavia and the West German republic; Tor Ger many used to be of Yugosava's greatest markets and of supply, and can be again We shoulo do everything properly can to persuade the World Bank to grant the Yugoslav loan which bank mis- sion has recommended If the World Bank hesitates much longer the Yugosavs might well make another application to the Export Import Bank which is an agency of the United States Government and an arm of American policy.

GEORGE '. SOKOLSKY
CHIANG's PERSONAL LIFE

Dean Acheson and others take the position that Chiang kai-Shek has no ability Let's look at the record.
 The Chinese revolution ended with the establishment of the Re- public on October 10, 1911.
 Sun yat-Sen was president for a little more than month.
 Yuan shih-Kai tcok over and was president and dictator for four years from 1912 to 1916, although he had an awkward revolution in 1915.
 Ii Hung followed Yuan for short time to be succeeded by Feng kuo-Chang.
 In August, 1918, Hsu shih-Chang was chosen president.
 Then came constant revolution from 1918 onward with presidents who served for months and feudal lords who set themselves up as mighty powers, and with an inter mittent government at Canton. Once during this period there were seven separate governments in

GLAMOUR IN ECLIPSE

There goes another illusion. Michel Thomas, leader of the French maqus, who associated with our Counter Intelligence Corps during the war, told the press the other day that the Mata Har type of woman spy-the femme fatale-is out and has been for some time.
 We suspect that the glamorous woman secret agent was largely the creation of espionage fiction writers like E. Phillips Oppenheim. His lady spies could usually be found while stalking their prey, on the terrace of the Casino at Monte Carlo slipping their favorte cocktails and extracting rose-tipped cigarettes from thin platinum cases
 The women whom M. Thomas describes as the most successful secret agents are normal and in- conspicuous with trace of the romantic about their appearance, and who have other things to do than tw ong-stemmed cocktail glasses in their ex- quistely formed fingers.
 It is no more deplorng the eclipse of the glamorous lady spy if she existed at all outside of fiction than it would be to mourn the passing Of the buffalo. Besides, they do say that Mata Harl was as ugly sin and not at all like Garbo.

Gambling MOnOpOlies

The gangsters not only had gone in for gambling, but they had set up an empire controlling every &C., tivity connected with the night club. tavern or beer hall business. It was a monopoly more tightly run than anything ever conceived by big business.
 Returning to Washington, I plac- ed the facts before Attorney Gen. eral Tom Clark and J. Edgar Hooy- CT.
 Jack Began, I told them, knew where all the bodies were buried in Chicago gangsterdom for years back, and he had promised to CO., operate.
 And he did The Justice Depart ment assigned 12 FBI men to act on the tips Began gave them, and for time it looked as if Chi cago gangland was in for a clean up.
 But suddenly, Began was shot. He had told me that probably would be shot, and had hired bodyguard to he with him night and day. But driving home one afternoon, his car stopped for a red light. Beside him, as he waited, pulled up a vegetable truck, and from under the crates blazed volley of gun fire. Began crumpled in his seat.
 Began, however, did not dle. Taken to the hospital he fought for his life. A month dragged by and Began seemed out of the woods. Then suddenly he was dead
 A tube of mercury was found in his intestines. How it got there nobody knew. But the gangsters oi Chicago are powerful.
 Not only have they ways of get ting inside hospitals, but they have ways of reaching inside the Federal Government, as we shall show m future columns of this series.

Murder In Chicago

And though Costello now claims to be man of peace, other gang sters, reaching for the golden pro- fits of the slot machine and the race track, have not hesitated to steal. kidnap, hijack and murder.
 This was how the murder took place in Chicago for which I may have been partly responsible.
 The man murdered was Jack Began, former associate of the late Moe Annenberg, who took over Annenberg's racing wire when Moe was sent to the Lewisburg (Pa) penitentiary for income-tax evasion by Frank Murphy. This is the telegraph wire which carries the race track results to all book makers, and without it no bookie can successfully operate.

SOVIET SUBMARINES

The new issue of Janes Fighting Ships asserts that the Russians are building a fleet of 1000 sub marines and that they hope to have 75o in service by the end of 1851 They also supposedly are build ing three new battleships. Admiral Sherman is more conservative in his figures but he emphasizes that the outstanding clement of American superiority is carrier aviation.
 Statistics of course, give no index of quality, though is well known that the Russians have taken advantage of German technical advice.
 Leaving aside the battleships, which may have limited because of their vulnerability the pros pectve Russian underseas fleet is a formidable threat. This is true because many of the methods rendered obsolete by the schnorkel submarine and the long-range torpedo.
 As pr. Vannevar Bush observes in his new book, Modern Arms and Free Men. If entered war soon against technically and ndustrially strong enemy and if that enemy could effectively apply modern devices at sea, we should have the whole job of overcoming the submarine to do again on new and unattractive basis"
 These facts argue not for a bigger Navy but for a high degree of selectivity in emphasis Most assuredly the Navys primary mission is to protect the sea lanes
 This does not mean that the Navy must be restricted to submarine hunterkiller groups; for it must prepared to dispose of surface vessels ano to bomb the pens at which enemy submarines are based But it does illustrate where scientific effort ought to be concentrated
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-01-13

Having inherited the Annenberg bookie wire, Began suddenly found himself with a new partner. The Jake Guzik syndicate of Chicago, inheritors of the old Capone gang, had moved in. Not only did Began find himself with partner, but shortly thereafter he found that he wasn't even a partner himself. The syndicate had taken over.
 This was the story which Began unfolded to this writer in great de- tail in a Chicago hotel in the spring of 1946. He told how Pete Locivella was gambling dictator in Detroit, how Dan Corotello of the Sicilian Society dominated Chi cago, how territory was divided between gangsters, how it was im- possible for night club or tavern to operate without buying ice cubes, towels and beer, renting slot ma chimes and hiring bartenders through the old Capone syndicate.

Republicans Persist

Perhaps it was not unnatural, therefore, that Democrats on Sen ator Hoey's committee backed away from this. and had it not been for the persistence of COP Sen. Karl Mundt of South Dakota, the links between Costello, Helis and Mara eon might never have been exposed. Republican Senators also developed the significant acknowledgement from General Vaughan that Helis had contributed money to Demo- cratic political campaigns.
 Now, government is not supposed to have even the remotest Inks with gambling. But when a gamp- ling syndicate contributes S20,000 to the campaign of Florida sheriff who gets a salary of only $7,50o, or when Big Bill Lias, the Wheeling race track operator, contributes s35.000 to an earlier campaign ol Lee Spillers, now U. s. Attorney to be prosecuting attorney, it stands to reason that the gambling syn dicates can exert powerful infiu- ence with our city governments.
 It. is said by some that the Pen dergast machine and big-city pol itics have now moved into the White House. While this columnist does not altogether agree with this flor reasons to he shown later vet it is true that, when Frankie Costello controls a $2000, ,OO0, ,000 gambling business, he can afford to spend a fortune electing men whom he can influence.

From Reader S Digest
By the Asseeiatsd Pres.

LONDON. Nov. 14.-Hedy La
marr's ex-hunsband, Fritz Mandl,
today won a libel action against
Readers Digest, which had called
him a traitor to his country and
a Nazi agent.
Mandl, former Austrian muni-
tions dealer, appeared as Federico
Mandl of Buenos Aires, Argen-
tina.
His lawyer announced in court
that the Readers Digest Associa-
tion-which published the maga-
zine in Britain-had agreed to
print an apology for an article
printed in the magazine in March,
ls45.
The defendants lawyer said the
Readers Digest is now satisfied
that the imputations made
against Mandl are devoid of
foundation"
Mandls lawyer said when the
Nazi Party came to power in Aus
tria he was deprived of his ma
tionality by a special decree and
all his assets in Austria were con-
fiScated.
He added that the Readers Di-
gest Association had agreed to
pay "a substantial sum as dam
ages as well as all COSTS"
