NeeIy Hopes TO Save
Home Rule Bill by
Senate Vote Tomorrow

Chairman Nicely of the Senate
District Committee has launched
a new effort to bring the blocked
Washington home rule bill to a
vote on the Senate floor.
He introduced a resolution yes
terday to discharge his commit
tee from jurisdiction over the
measure. and bring it before the
Senate.
The District Committee blocked
the resolution Wednesday by a
tie vote of 6 to 6. keeping it from
the Senate calendar.
Senator Neely's action sets ir
motion an involved parliamentary
procedure. The discharge of g
committee from its control ovel
a measure is approved only rarely
| Senator Neely, taking this next
step in an effort to bring the
Kefauver-Taft home rule bill up
| for vote on the floor, said he
sees the bare possibility of a
change in the membership of his
committee. That might hold out
further opportunity for favorable
action.
Senator Neely said he would
regret to lose any of his Demo-
cratic members. But if any one
should be selected for another
committee, leaving a vacancy on
the District unit, he would well
come Senator Moody.
The Democratic high command
had not reshufned it's committee
assignments today and the Re-
|publicans were believed to be
waiting until the Democrats COM
|plete their shifts before filling the
vacancies created by the death of
Senator Vandenberg.

Senator'S Reluctance
To Head DC. Probe Of
Crime Delays Choice

Reluctance OF Democratic Sena-
tors to serve as chairman of the
special District subcommittee to
Investigate crime here has led to
Ipostponement of this selection
until funds can be obtained to
finance the investigation. :.
Chairman Nicely Of the Senate
District Committee said he plans
to confer with leaders before he
goes further in the task OF assign
ing subcommittee members.
| Meanwhile. the Commissioners

! "The Commissioners have noted
the unanimous action of the Sen

The session ended only with a
decision to find out more about

Other Duties Blamed.
All five Senators attending, 1t
was learned, indicated they had
too much to do already to take

D. {. Rent Study
TO Decide Need
For Controls
Hearings Are Planned
Before Curbs Expire
On June Both

A full-scale study of rent con-
troll in Washington will be started
soon by House District subcom-
mittee with a view to possible ex-
tension of curbs beyond June 80,
the present termination.
Chairman Harris of the Judici-
ary Subcommittee said today the
question of possible changes in the
law also will be explored at public
hearings to be called soon.
This development came quickly
on the heels of President Tru-
mans request to Congress yester-
day for continuance of national
rent controls wherever needed to
stabilize the cost. of living and the
cost Of doing business"
Commercial Rents Unaffected.
Commercial property in the Dis
trlct has never been under rent
control. Several attempts to place
this type Of property under control
have failed in Congress.
The Harris subcommittee will
have before it bill introduced
by Representative Klein, Demo-
crat, of New York, to continue
the present District rent law until
terminated by an Act of Congress.
Mr.. Harris said he thinks that
the problem is much more COM
plex now than a mere extension
of the present law.
The District rent Act of 1942
froze housing accommodation
rents here as of January /, 1941
and this base is still used to
adjust rents after considering
many factors, including the in
creased costs and other items.
ITO use this old 1941 base for
the adjustment of rents here"
Mr., Harris said, appears to me
to be very much antiquated. I
believe we should look into the
whole District law and make a
study to determine whether it
should be brought up to date"
One of the issues in contro-
Iversy here is the amendment to
the 1912 act which de-controlled
hotel apartments as of January
80, 1850, if the institution was
used mostly for the housing Of
ltransients.
| This resulted in de-controlling
the living quarters for families in
virtually all the big hotels in
Washington and raising of rents.
Families Forced Out.
The administrator of rent con-
trolls received many complaints
about the practice of one big hotel
in forcing families to leave their
apartments so that they could be
cut up into smaller rooms for
transients.
Chairman Spence of the House
Banking Committee, which will
handle the big new defense pro-
duction bill including Federal rent
controls, said that in his opinion
Washington would need an ex-
tension of rent control.
He emphasized, however that
the District problem was not be-
fore his committee. The District
law has always been handled sep
Iarately by the House and Senate
District Committees, but usually
lis timed with the Federal law.
Mr.. Harris said he wanted 20
determine what is being consid-
cred in the way of more rent con-
troll for the Nation as a guide to
what should be done in the Dis
trict.
But he emphasized he had not
made up his mind to any specific
provision.

Did you know that there are
several kinds of chicken fricassee?
There's a yellow one, a brown one
and white one. Like the con-
troversies about chowders and the
color of eggshells. the fricassee
preference varies according to the
section of the country.
In Virginia they would never
think of putting anything but a
yellow fricassee on the table. 1t
is rich and delicious. In Boston,
they lean to the white fricassee.
But the yellow is still tops, SO
here's the recipe for it, first;
Cut up a chicken in serving
pieces and brown them In butter.
Then add slice of lean bacon.
pepper, salt and nutmeg to taste
Grandma always tucked in a few
cloves, too, plus one onion, minced.
Add enough hot water to cover
the chicken and stew slowly for
about 11a hours. Put the chicken
on a serving platter and keep it
hot. Beat two egg yolks until
light, season them with salt and
pepper, a teaspoon of lemon juice,
a teaspoon Of vinegar and u cup

of cream. Add these last three a
very little at a time, stirring con-
stantly to get them smooth and
prevent curdling. Pour the mixture
into the pan in which the chicken
was cooked. Stir until thickened,
over a low flame and when it is
of a custard- like consistency, pour
over the chicken. Serve the chick
en- with buttered noodles or rice.
For the brown fricaSsee melt 2
tablespoons of butter or margarine
in a skillet, add s small chopped
onions, and about 2 tablespoons
of hot water. Sprinkle in little
chopped parsley. When this boils,
add broiler that has been cut
up and fried brown in hot lard.
Let the sauce cook down around
it, and serve. The secret Of this
is to get the original butter or
margarine very brown before add
ing the onions and hot water.
The white fricassee is more
elaborate, as 1t calls for stuffing
the chickens. Have 2 small chick
ems cleaned and drawn, and stuff
them with a mixture Of cup

chopped dried beef. u onion, a

just enough water to bind mixture
loosely together. Put the stuffed
birds in a saucepan or kettle with
a nice piece of salt pork. Add 2
cups hot water. put a lid on the
kettle, and let 'er stew. Add more
water if you need it. When the
chickens are nearly tender, thick

and keep them hot. Remove the
salt pork from the gravy, stir

add a tablespoon of cream. When
thickened, pour over chickens.
This is especially good with pam

BETSY CASWELL
FR,UJrT CAKE.

From Mrs. E. w., Washington.)
I think the recipe below for
very best fruit cake" is the one
Mrs. O. D. F. of Washington
wants: One-fourth pound Of
citron, " pound of lemon peel,
VI pound of orange peel, " pound
candied cherries. " pound nut
meats. " pound dates, " pound
candied pineapple, " pound
raisins. "a pound dry coconut, "
pound Zone cup) shortening, u
cup honey and " cup of sugar,
eggs. " pound q cups) of flour.
/ teaspoonful of allspice, u tea
spoon of nutmeg. y teaspoon
cloves, / teaspoon salt, l teaspoon
baking powder, 6 tablespoons of
fruit juice, grapefruit, orange,
grape or other juice.
Shred the peel. halve the cher
ries, nutmeats and dates. Cut
, the pineapple in pieces the size
of almonds. Chop the coconut
very fine. Dredge the fruit thor
oughly in Va cupful or more of
the flour. Sift the remaining
flour with the dry ingredients
Cream the shortening with the
sugar, and add the honey. Stir
in the eggs, well beaten. Add the
dry ingredients and the fruit juice
alternately, blending thoroughly.
Pour batter over the Toured fruit
and mix until all the fruit is we'll
covered with batter. Line oiled
baking tins with 3 layers of wax
paper, allowing u inch of paper
to extend above all sides of the
pan. Pour all the batter into
pans lightly; do not f1atten. Bake
in a slow oven $50 degrees, for
4 hours. This recipe makes S
pounds of fruit cake. Place the
fiat pan containing 2 cupfuls of
water in the bottom Of the oven
while baking the cake. This is
done because experts have shown
that the cakes baked in the oven
with water have greater volume. a
better appearance, a more moist
texture and a smooth, shiny glaze
which makes 1t unnecessary to add
an extra glaze.

COCONUT CAKE.
From Mrs. w. NJ. G.,
Lerin0tO1l Park.

Here is recipe for fresh
coconut cake, which also can be
very successfully made with
canned coconut. I do not know
to what recipe Mrs. H. w. OF Sill
yer Spring referred but I do know
that this recipe cannot be found
in any recipe book, at least none
that I have ever read, and that
covers some territory.
The first requirement is to dis
regard the budget, just tenn
porarily, secondly to Danish all
preconceived notions about cake
mixing. Last, be sure the cake
pans are large enough, as stated
in the recipe. This is an old and
unusual prize winning cake from
the Deep South, and this is the
first time I have shared it. The
texture is entirely different. 1t is
delightful mixture of angel food
and butter cake at its finest.
Despite the seeming elaborate
ness of the recipe, it is just about
foolproof. I have baked 1t on
cleaning white and chrome CP
ranges, with timers and auto
matte controls, etc.-I have had
equally good results on a little
four burner with no oven control
whatever. Some Of the grandest
results have come from stoves
burning only wood, in country
areas While the electric mixer is
fine for the frosting, it may be
made without it equally well. l
hope that if Mrs. H. w. of Silver
Spring or any other reader has
the temerity to depart from the
conventional and try this cake,
that they will be kind enough to
write RICH about the results.
Snow white coconut cake: Two
thirds cup white butter or un-
colored margarine or high grade
vegetable shortening, 2 cups white
sugar, 3 cups cake flour, y tea
spoon salt, 3 teaspoons baking
powder, double acting; l cup
warm water, l teaspoon orange
extract, we prefer almond extract;
8 egg whites beaten stiff but not
dry and beaten while cold.
Sift and measure flour. Sift
-four, salt and baking powder 8
times. The flour sifted 3 times
with salt and baking powder is
placed in refrigerator to chill, and
also eggs before being beaten. ]
have had excellent results with
out chilling, however. Cream
shortening and sugar we'll at least
10 minutes for good texture. Now
add warm water gradually. "a cup
at a time. Alternate sifted flour
and beaten egg whites and finally
add f1avoring. Batter will be
somewhat thinner than usual
Pour batter divided equally into
two 10-inch layer cake pans
| lightly creased.
Pans should be about W inches
deep. Place in preheated oven
$50 degrees for Is minutes, then

two large or 8 small coconuts,
grated, teaspoon f1avoring ex-
tract.
Place sugar in large granite or
stainless steel pan and pour the
hot water over it. Boil together
rapidly until a soft ball forms in
the cold water. 230 degrees. Have
egg whites beaten very stiff. Pour
approximately u cup of this sirup
over beaten whites, beating con-
stantly. An electric mixer is ex-
cellent for this. Return remain
