you can give it lift by turning to
Tuna fish. Aside from the croquettes
and creamed tuna fish, there are
other ways of using this sea food

"bite-size" tuna. Make sauce by
adding u cup milk and "a cup sliced
or chopped ripe olives to a can of
cream of mushroom soup. Heat and
pour over tuna and toast.
Dreamed Tuna on Parsley Muffin
Squares makes a hearty main dish.
Add II teaspoon thyme and "a cup
finely chopped parsley to your favor
lite muffin mix. Bake in a square
pan. Cut into squares and top with
your favorite creamed tuna.
Party Food is tuna salad served in
a grapefruit shell. Notch the edges
for an extra touch. Good, too, put
into the oven until hot. Top the
tuna salad first with a sprinkle of
grated cheese and a few crushed
potato chips.

Senator Russell. Democrat, Of

rather be Senator than Vice
President of the United States.
A reporter had asked him how
he regarded the talk of a Steven
son-Russell ticket. featuring Gov

presidential candidate. He said
it would be all right If they turn
the ticket around"
The inactivity of being Vice
President where I couldn't engage
in debate would be frustrating
after debating as l have for the
past 20 years in the Senate" SEN
ator Russell said.
Senator Russell said he planned
to make at least one public speech
in Virginia. He said he appreciated
the support he had received in
the State from a number of top

Alabama Court Delays
Move in Electoral Suit
BY the Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 5.
States Fighters. trying anew to
get their presidential elector can
.didates on the ballot for the May
Is Democratic primary. have been
turned back temporarily by the
Alabama Supreme Court.
The court ruled yesterday that
1t would not set a hearing on the
newest States Right suit until re-
celving a formal opinion from the
United States Supreme Court on its
ruling which would keep States
Fighters off the ballot.
Birmingham Attorney Horace
Wilkinson filed the latest suit
yesterday asking the state court
to decide the issue under the Ala
bama constitution.
A previous suit, also argued by
Mr.. Wilkinson, commended the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee has no right to require
elector candidates to pledge sup
port to the national party nominee
for President. The committee
adopted such pledge for can
dldates running in the primary.
The State Supreme Court ruled
IN favor of the States Fighters
but national party loyalists ap-
pealed to the United States Su-
preme Court. The Federal Court
held this week that a loyalty
pledge was not unconstitutional.
thereby ruling States Fighters off
the primary ballot since they did
not sign the oath.
Mr. Wilkinson's suit filed yes

is now free to decide whether or
not under the constitution and
laws of the State of Alabama, and
without regard to the Federal

pealed from is due to De affirmed
