discuss the situation. The white
people will have to move, too; both
towns are to be razed, but the

so far has encouraged them IN
the idea that Uncle Sam is not

worse than that of the factory
worker who lives in rented quar-

livelihood is ended when the fac
tory goes out of business.
Readjustment Not Easy.
But the Southern townsman
knows the sharecropper's limita-
tions. It's not easy for him to
readjust himself-get another job
in other words. Much of his con-
tact with the business world has
been through his boss man." His
loyalty to the boss is not all senti-

he gets credit at country store,

for seed and fertilizer in his own

They still have about 2O7. 900 acres
to go.
Moses M. Alexander, who has
just finished building his home
when the announcement was
made, settled with the Govern
ment but was not satisfied with
the deal he got. Mr.. Alexander
who is 40, is one of five sons
whose farmer father left each con-
siderable acreage-all in the H
bomb area. The settlement was
for his house, his sawmill, his
store and his little machine shop
on a patch of four acres across
the railroad tracks from his farm.
The project had to take the house
right away because they intend
to build a spur track from the
railroad right across the spot
where it stands.
Proud of His House.
Mr.. Alexander was right proud
of his house. It is an up-to-date
brick rambler with peaked gables.
He inserted a foot-square granite
block near the doorway and had
a large A carved into it. He fig
ured the house, sawmill, shop ano
store (Which was of the padlocked
type described earlier) to be worth
l$13, 400. He said he netted $40O
a month on the store. which was
awfully hard to believe.
The Government gave him $12..
585 for the layout. They also
told him that he could buy his
house back at salvage price OF
| 81 ,630-for that price he could
have the house provided he moved
| it away on time. Mr.. Alexander
accepted the settlement but the
more he thought about it during
the next few days, the less he
liked it. He went back and tolo
the Government people how he
felt about it. They said they
would improve the settlement by
cutting the salvage price in two
He could have his house back
for $815. He accepted that. He
still has to settle with the Gov
eminent for his 233-acre farm
across the railroad tracks, which
will not be taken over until next
year. He hopes to get "at least
$40. 900 for it.
The house can be moved, hi
has been told. Although it is o1
brick veneer, it can be held to-
gether by binding it with stee
bands. The moving will be ar
expensive process-cost severa
thousand dollars. But at the

PrinceGeorges
Grand Jury Told
ToWatch
Judge Groy Stresses
Kefouver Inquiry, Says
Diligence Is Needed

A Prince Georges grand jury
today was told by the court that
it constitutes the "Kefauver Com
mittee" for the county.
In charging the 23-person jury
at Upper Marlboro, Judge John B.
Gray, jr., declared it has a very
great responsibility in exercising
it's duties.
Judge Gray, in mentioning the
Kefauver Committee, asserted:
Doubtless many of you were
shocked and Mortified at the DEM
onstration in those hearings that
In many parts of this country
there has been definite connection
between gangsters and racketeers
on one side and law enforcement
officials and political leaders on
the other"
Gambling Is Acknowledged.
Declaring that the situation
presents a pretty sorry picture"
Judge Gray expressed the hope
there has been nothing of that
sort in Prince Georges County.
Certainly there has been wide
spread gambling in PriNce Georges
County, but to what extent IL is
linked up to the Nationwide
crime syndicate, this court has no
way Of knowing" Judge Gray said.
''The court points out that in
order for unlawful gambling to
flourish, it has been found rather
essential that the crime be highly
organized"
The judge said that means cor
ruption Of public Office holders or
bribery, or both.
Jury Must Be Diligent.
Then Judge Gray declared fatty,
"the court knows of no such in
stances in this county"
He went on to say that the only
way to guard against such things,
however. is for the grand jury to
be diligent in its inquiries.
Comparing the local body with
the Senate Crime Committee,
Judge Gray asserted there are
two important differences.
Your proceedings will not be
conducted under the glare of tele-
vision lights or in front of motion
picture cameras" he said. THE
other important difference is that
you have the power and RESPONSE
bility to do something. -.
The court commends to you
careful investigation Of any such
underworld conditions"
Members Cautioned on Duty.
Judge Gray also told the Jury
that it should inquire into the
matter Of good government in the
county. He said any recommended
tions the jury might make would
carry great deal of weight with
officials concerned.
But he cautioned that the jury's
work in that regard should be Of
q constructive character.
If the jury finds that an Official
appears to be derelict, it should
determine if he has committed a
crime and if so, bring in an indict-
ment. On the other hand, if no
crime has been committed, the
official should not be held up to
scorn and ridicule, Judge Gray
said.
Foreman of the grand jury is
Ralph F. de Clairemont, Mitchells-
vile farmer. The jury is expected
to be in session for several weeks.
Under normal procedure, no in
dictments will be returned until
Friday.

PINWHEEL COOKIES.
COCONUT CAKE,

From Mrs. o. D. F., Washington.)
For Mrs. j. P. B.. Arlington, who
requested a recipe for pinwheel
cookies using chocolate chips az
filling. This is delicious recipe:
Whirligig Cookies: One-half cur
shortening, y cup white sugar, Il
cup brown sugar. p cup peanut
butter, l egg, unbeaten, IA cups
flour, y teaspoon soda, y tea
spoon salt. l package chocolate
chips. Cream shortening ano
sugars and peanut butter thor
oughly. Add egg, beat until light
and fluffy. @Sift -four, soda, anG
salt; add to egg mixture. Mix
well. Roll dough oblong about "a
inch thick. Melt chocolate over
hot water. Spread on dough. Roll
like jelly roll. Chill. Slice "a
inch thick. Place on ungreased
baking sheet. Bake in 375-degree
oven for Il minutes.
For the lady who requested a
special coconut cake recipe. This
is wonderful. Bake 3 layers OF
your best white cake (almond or
rum f1avorings are good. Use 2
medium or 3 small coconuts. Pune
ture one of the eyes Zone is usu-
ally softer than the other) and
drain out the milk and save it.
Crack off the outer shell. Peel
the brown off the coconut "meat"
and put most of this "meat"
through your food chopper. Crate
about p cupful, but be sure the
rest is ground. Heat the coconut
milk and sWeeten to taste. Cook
slowly about Is minutes. This
should be sweet but not sirupy.
Mix a little @ or tablespoons)
of this with the ground coconut
and add sugar till it holds to-
gether well. I pack it in a big
bowl and chill it about p hour
and it is easier to work with. Now
put your bottom layer of cake on
a large plate and put some of the
ground coconut mixture on top.
Add second layer of cake and
more coconut. Add third layer of
cake. With a silver knife make
several Sits (6 or 81 down through
the cake. Pour the coconut milk
over the cake a little at time so
that it will absorb it. Now use
your hands to pack the remaining
ground coconut on the sides and
top of the cake. Don't be dis
couraged, it will stick, but it takes
patience. Sprinkle the grated
coconut over the top. of the cake.
A tip or tWo-Shake the coconutS
before you buy them and if the
milk slosheS in them they are
good Heat them a few minutes in
the oven and the hull will crack
off easier. This cake will spoil
and should be kept in the icebox.
I know it sounds complicated, but
it is worth all the trouble.
