TOMATOES TOPS
By DOROTHY BARCLAY

TALL EN- fruit, or call 'em veg
~ etable; grow 'em yourself, or
buy 'em at your store-tomatoes
are tops in popularity! Food au-
thorities figure that the average
American citizen every year eats
about 10 whole tomatoes, fresh or
home-canned; drinks at least 9
large cups of commercially canned
tomatoes; 10 cups of soup and
juice; and consumes cups of pulp,
PURGE, paste, sauce, catsup or chill
sauce. Did you ever stop to figure
how many ways this national ia
vorite is part of your daily life?
So here's good news to you to-
mato-lovers. Commercial produc-
ton in the United States from late
spring into September is expected
to be about 1,641 900 bushels more
than in 1850, though in some states
both the truck and the home gar
dens have suffered.
This generally-increased crop Is
heralded by the luscious Texas
type, but coming closer to home
and the home-market every warm
day, in your own or the CONNER
cial gardens!
The glamorous, but comparative
ly tasteless dollhouse variety is now
retiring in favor of the fruit picked
green in Texas and the south, and
ripened and packaged by northern
buyers. AS the summer marches
along, however, the green import
will ripen naturally on the way to
market. So you won't find so many
of those intriguing transparent car
tons, but you'll be able to pick
them in bulk at your grocers.
With each succeeding day, more
ripened tomatoes will find the way
to your grocer from the truck gar
dens. And that's the time that to-
matoes are tops-midsummer into
early fall. That's the time they'll
be most abundant, most econom-
zeal, and most rich in vitamin con-
tent. That's the time to brighten
your summer salads with the gay
red of fresh tomatoes. And it won't
be long before your own will ma
ture.

MODERATION EVEN HERE

If the fruit needs some ripening,
don't force it, by exposing it to
excessive sunlight, but in a cor
ner not warmer than 60 to 10 de-
grees. If you take the ripening in
stride like this, so will the toma-
toes. Also, don't chance putting un-
derripe tomatoes in the refrigera-
tor, for the chill halts the ripening
process, and makes the tomatoes
watery. Moderation in all things
covers even the treatment of to-
matoeS!

When you go to your store to
buy these beauties, be wise to quail
ity. Good tomatoes are well-shaped,
plump, smooth, firm, of good red
color, and blemish-free. For cook
ing or canning, the shape is less
important, and if the fruit is solid
with the exception of little bruise,
it needn't be wasted. Remember

Peace 0vertures

II is no longer secret that us.
delegates to the United Nations
have been working with other U.N.
members for some time on a Ko-
rean truce proposal and that Com
rade Malik jumped the gun on
them.
The most important issue in these
discussions, however, has not leaked
out-namely, the differences of
opinion regarding two highly con-
troversial points: l. Disposition of
Formosa; and 2. Seating the Chi
nese Reds in the United Nations.
The us. proposal, discussed with
IS other UN. nations by us. Am
bassador Ernest Gross, was to post
pone any consideration of Formosa
or seating the Reds until after all
other conditions had been ironed
out. The State Department was
completely adamant on this, and
maintained that we would not dis
cuss these two points even until:
l. The whole Korean question had
been settled, and 2. All troops had
been withdrawn.
This was the chief stumbling
block between ourselves and some
other UN members.
The above terms were somewhat
similar to those which President
Truman sent to General Macarthur
for his perusal just before Easter
and which Macarthur subsequently
issued as his own. MacArthur's
jumping the gun was one fact which
contributed to his custer. The Pres
ident, however. is in no position to
GUST Comrade Malik for likewise
jumping the gun when he heard
that the U.N. and the u.S.A. were
working on truce.

This and That

Templeton Jones has new pet rat.
Since Ratio disappeared from the ga
rage, the rodent side of the Jones house
hold has been lacking, except for a dozen
gray squirrels.
These feed with the birds at the va
riouS feeding places this kindly man
has established.
There is one by the garage, one at the
end OF the yard, and various places
where foods are placed without benefit
OF man-made constructions.
One is the raisin spot, where these
are placed for the catbirdS, robins, card
inals and, indeed, for almost all the
birds, since they almost all like raisins.
A second is the bread spot.
Here various leftovers are put from
time to time.
Jones has discovered that birds, as q
rule, prefer white bread to whole wheat.
This seems rather silly Of them, since
all nutrttionists say that whole wheat
is best.
The birds think differently.
They eat differently, at any rate. Old
slices Of white bread have so many tax
erS that they disappear in almost no
time. whereas brown breads Of different
kinds may lie as long as q day, and
sometimes are never touched.
Can it be that birds, like Jones, must
consider their digestive tracts? Whole
wheat is very 1ine, no doubt. If you can

take it, but If you can't, you can eat
bread white and like it.
That is what the birds do.
1t was while bemoaning the loss of
Ratio, disappeared without trace, that
Jones put out some bread.
It was from an old loaf of brown
sort, made with cottonseed meal.
Jones sprinkled the slices, which had
gotten rather dry, in a large circle
squarely in the middle of the yard.
Some birds would be bound to see
them, he thought.
But for some reason the birds were
absent that evening.
It was not far from dusk, that primi-
tive time beloved Of the wood thrushes
and all children.
The thrushes sing then, the children
scream.
What is the reason for this time hav-
ing such an effect on children?
II they have been quiet all the rest
OF the day, at this period they cut loose
and yell.
They work themselves into veritable
frenzy, bordering on hysteria.
With the thrushes, it is q time for
the sweetest singing.
Then one by one they sing to each
other over the neighborhood.
It was not the thrushes, however, nor
the children that attracted Jones' at
tention this evening.

First, it was the unusual light, a sort
of green.
1t would take q scientist to tell why
this light comes, now and then, and
just what it does.
Templeton Jones is no scientist, thank
goodness.
Nobody can blame the atom bomb on
him, nor all the chemicals used in foods,
nor various other matters too numerous
to mention.
He is just plain guy who knows what
he likes, and this evening he knew he
liked the light, and the way it gave O.
different appearance to all things.
It was at this moment he saw the red
rat.
Not actually red. Of course, but only
in seeming, as the queer green light
struck its coat.
just why green light should make a
brown rat look red was a mystery, but
1t did.
The fellow leaped through the grass
straight to the bread, and began carry
ing it away to the den beneath the ga
rage.
Time after time he made the trip, a
red rat leaping through green grass with
brown bread in his mouth.
He was not Ratio. He ran straight as
an arrow. This red rat leaped. Could
it be a new breed? Templeton Jones
would keep his eyes open and report
later.

They Are Friends No Lonoer

In announcing the end OF trade concessions
to Czechoslovakia, the State Department recited
some OF our grievances against that unfriendly
nation.
The list is impressive. The Czechs have
conf1scated without compensation the property
OF American citizens in Czechoslovakia Amer
lean firms have been "persecuted and harassed,"
making 1t impossible for them to do business
with that country. Our procurement of normal
trade information, necessary in commerce has
been declared a crime. American charitable
and welfare organizations have been forced to
discontinue their work. Our Government was
summarily ordered to reduce its Embassy staff.
and American citizens, including william N.
Oats, the Associated Press correspondent, have
been imprisoned without Justification.
These hostile acts against the United States
emphasize the point made by Secretary of State
Acheson yesterday, that the ending Of our favor
able trade arrangements with Czechoslovakia is
merely one Of several steps in reprisal now under
consideration at the State Department. That is
encouraging For while CzechoSlovakias benefits
under trade agreements with us are substantial.
and should be terminated, their withdrawal
alone is not enough.
The Czechs have designated new Ambassa-
dor to Washington. His name Is Vladimir
Prochazka. Appointed more than month ago,
Ile Is supposed 10 De que IN washington some
time this month. He is one of the old Czech
Communists; vice chairman Of the so-called
Czech Parliament and former chairman Of its
Foreign Affairs Committee He Is one of the
drafters Of the Czech Constitution of 1948, which
makes crime Of conduct which, before the fall
OF Czechoslovakia was regarded as lawful among
free men. He took part in the plotting against
the people of Czechoslovakia which led to the
tragedy of their final betrayal
Why should we receive him in Washington
confer upon him the diplomatic immunities and
privileges which leave him free to transfer his
activities from Prague to the United States?
While our own diplomats are watched and sub
jected to insulting restrictions in Prague, while
an American newspaperman lies in some dirty
prison, not because Of his own misconduct but
as token of spite against the United States,
this man will be received here as If he were the
envoy of a friendly nation.
The irony of that situation is beginning to
dawn on the people of this country and the
State Department, no doubt, is giving it some
second thinking, too.
In Hungary a Connie newspaper boasts
"our composers are writing noble, warlike peace
songs" Something like la Paloma" with spurs.
Fortunately the Middle East is little farther
away than the Near East which Is near enough.

Points for Burke Airport Site

Five factors bearing on selection of an ap-
propriate site for an alternate National Airport
for Washington have been listed by the Board
OF Trade. They are important factors that are
not easily found grouped in one locality. For
tunately for Washington but unfortunately for
some of our Virginia neighborS, the site picked
by the Civil Aeronautics Administration near
Burke measures up to all the requirements, in
the opinion of the Board of Trade. And meas
ured by the same standards, Baltimore'S new air
port at Friendship falls far short OF Washing
tons requirements
The board properly listed safety as pri-
mary consideration. The Burke site is high
enough and far enough from the Potomac River
to be generally free of ground fogs And it is
far enough away from the present airport and
military aviation activities to avoid the dangers
of overlapping air patterns. If Friendship Air
port becomes major terminal of the Military
Air Transport Service, as is proposed, the prob
lem of conflicting civil and military flying pat
terms will be present.
Next in Importance, according to the board,
Is proximity of the new airport to Washington
Burke obviously has an advantage over Friend
ship on this score. The board estimated that it
will take Is minutes to drive from the zero mile
stone to Burke over the Shirley highway. 1t
will take considerably longer to make the trip
to Friendship, even when the Washington -Balti-
more Parkway is completed.
Other factors listed were traffic control,
topography and resettlement. The Burke site,
it was stated, would permit maximum utilization
Of the new and old airports without interference,
could be leveed with "a minimum of engineer
ing" and would involve the displacement Of
"fewer homes and persons than any other site
which fufills the above conditions" Altogether,
the Board of Trade has compiled some very per-
suaSive arguments for the Burke location and
against other possible sites-including Friend
ship.

Shortly after the war began the Ger

Werner managed to preserve secret

With this, and with bread crumbs
from nearby camp for Belgian miners,

Why does Capital Transit think it is
entitled to fare increase at a time
when it is making more money than
ever while operating with less personnel
and with worn-out equipment?
My guess is that this last raise re-
quest will be "the straw, which broke
the camers back" There is a limit to
just how much the traffic will bear, and
we in the District have reached that
limit.
Also I would like to ask the PUG If
they do not think they owe some obliga-
ton and loyalty to the residents of the
District as against this bunch of "out-
siders" who are bleeding the people for
all they are worth and getting every
penny out Of their investment they can
without any regard or concern for what
they are giving in return? How long Is
this injustice going to continue?
Up-In-Arms.
II the newspapers in this city want
to do something worth while in the in
terest of the public. why not put on
drive against the Capital Transit Co.
and the Public Utilities Commission?
A recent report of the transit COM
pany revealed a profit for the stock
holders far greater than they have ever
been able to pay. OF course the Public
Utilities Commission will not give this
any consideration as far as the general
public is concerned. Perhaps 1t should
be named the Capital Transit Utilities
Commission, since they grant everything

tons Capital, the place that dictates
to the rest of the country what to do,
and what not to do?
John A. Skehan.
The argument Of transit radio, re-
ported In The Star, that it is essential
to give instructions in an emergency
sounds like the last desperate cry Of
public nuisance which has been found
by competent court to be depriving
citizens of q constitutional right
The argument is appealing-and COM
pletely phony. 1t was presented to the
United States Court of Appeals by transit
radio attorneys and was effectively dis
posed Of in the courts well-reaSoned
opinion declaring forced listening to
radio commercials to be unconstitutional.
The court pointed out that If radio dis
patching really is necessary for erner-
gencies it would be quite simple to in
stall single loud speaker near the
troIly or bus operator. so he could hear
the instructions. Obviously, this would
do the trick, and without forcing radio
commercials on unwilling passengers.
Fortunately, the whole matter Of
forced listening to transit radio COM
mercials Is before the courts, which have
shown far higher regard for the pub
lie interest and individual rights than
our rubber-stamp Public Utilities Com
mission We may await with pleasant
anticipation the day when the Supreme
Court will put to death for all time this
imposition on the public which it were
better not to have been born.
