Tested Recipes
For The

Roast fresh ham: Cooking fresh
ham or leg of pork is just about as
easy as any culinary adventure on
which you could set sail. The inn
portant point to remember is that,
due to the fact that it's a chunky,
solid cut, it requires somewhat longer
cooking time per pound than the
well-known pork loin roast.
If the ham has any skin on it, do
not attempt to remove this before
roasting. "Skin" the roast 30 minutes
before the end of the cooking time
when the rind is well 1oosened.
Place the fresh ham (either whole
or half on a rack in an open roast
ing pan. Do not add water to the pan,
do not cover, do not haste while
cooking. Roast at 325 degrees F., fol

Go to IA pounds)-35 to 40 minutes
per pound. Half leg 6 to 7 pounds)
45 to so minutes per pound.
A fresh ham may be scored and
glazed like smoked ham, 80 minutes
before the end Of the roasting time.
Delicious gravy comes from roast
fresh ham. Pour off all but two to
three tablespoons of the fat in the
pan, then stir in three or four table
spoons flour. When well blended,
add about two cups warm water,
stirring constantly until thickened.
Season with salt, pepper and little
sage or thyme.
Oven Drowned potatoes: Potatoes
cooked around the roast during the
last part of the roasting period make
a fine accompaniment to the juicy
roast. Pare medium size potatoes and
precook in water for 10 minutes;
then place around roast, sprinkle
with salt and pepper and bake 40 to
so minutes or until tender, turning
occasionally and basting with fat in
pan. If potatoes are not brown
enough when roast is done, place

are used to make both ends
meet. And new laws to strength
en- the criminal code on bribery
and graft could be valuable.
There are practical obstacles
to passage of such laws, how
ever. Some proposals would
tread on congressional toes, and
the lawmakers are VIGOROUSLY
reluctant to curb one another's
rights" Another obstacle is
the comparative "juniority" Of
some of the Congressman push
ing the ethics laws. Many old
congressional hands are in
clined to be cynical about the
cleanup attempts Of the new
Corners.
Whot Kind Of Change?
There is also a common feel
ing that the only answer to
the ethics question is a change
in administration. There will,
of course. be a change no mat
ter who wins in November. The
big argument is whether a
change from Truman to Steven
son would do the trick. The
Republicans say no.
The report of the Douglas
subcommittee, however. shows
that those Senators do not feel
a change will be the final an
swer. They believe that ethics
and morals present common
problems to all persons. Cor
ruption in Americas history has
not followed party lines.

Much Debate, Little Result in Matter of Ethics

on ethics in Government was
approved by the Labor Commit
tee. but it languished on the
Senate calendar until it died
this summer with adjournment
OF the 82d Congress. Other bills
dealing with ethical problems
saw even less action. Repre-
sentative Bennett, Democrat, of
Florida got nowhere with a bill
to set up a code of ethics. A
bill by G. o. P. vice presidential
candidate Nixon to prohibit Fed
eral officers from accepting
money from political parties was
not acted on. A score of other
bills. on payroll kickbacks, in
f1uence peddling. irresponsible
use OF congressional immunity,
ETC.. all were given the cold
shoulder.
Disappointing, Not Surprising
This lack OF progress In up
grading the ethics of Washing
ton has been disappointment
but not surprise to the legis-
lators backing the bills. They
did not get into the fight ex-
pecting quick victory. Lawmakers
who plan to follow through on
the ethics fight say they will be
needing Congress on the subject
for a good many years in the
future as they have for years
in the past.
They do feel, however that the
iron is hot and now is the time
to strike. The wave Of scam

Campaign Stereotypes
Consider the pictures that
pop instantly into the mind of
the citizen - whether Demo-
cratic. Republican or independ-
ent-at the mention of the
names:

with emotional appeal.
Stevenson - wit, intellectual
who appeals to reason.
Nixon - television star, Ike's
boy" Red hunter.
But what Of Sparkman? For
many, when his name, is men,
toned, there is no hair-trigger
reflex appraisal, summing up
the whole man. He has not
been associated in the public
mind with any such dramatic
incident as the Nixon affair.

the publicity Of, say, Kefauver

provement of migratory labor
conditions and so on.
Foreign Affairs
Another example of Spark
mans versatility is his record in
foreign affairs. His appeal is
strong to internationally minded
persons-regardless of their eco
nomic or occupational status
but during his campaign. oddly
enough, he has not stressed his
record in this field. The fact
that as United States delegate
to the 1850 United Nations Gen.
eral Assembly he introduced the
first world land-reform resolu-
ton has little bearing on vote
getting here, he may reason.
When 1t comes to the civil
rights question the fact that
Sparkman Is often criticized by
extremists Of both wings tends
to indicate his moderate posi-
ton. He pleases completely
neither the Dixiecrats nor the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
(But many members Of both
groups say they're going to vote
for him. He is given q large
share of the credit for writing
the civil rights plank in the
Democratic platform which Is

country. Sparkman holds the
view that the question is essen
TALLY an economic one. Bitter
ness and inequalities will dis
appear, he believes. in ratio to
the rise In living and educa-
tional standards of all groups.
His accomplishments, as
noted. may not add up to q
readily recognizable national
figure. Maybe there is little
that Sparkman can do or say
that can capture the popular
imagination the way the other
three candidates have done. But
by his versatility, it should not
be forgotten. that in many spe-
cialized fields Sparkman may
have a strong following. These
added together could play more
important role than suspected
in the November election.

recommended that a commits

Metropolitan. Scene
A Public Relations Man Could Teach the Tax Officials
Of Montgomery Thing or Two About Refreshments

From the way they handled
the pending increases in real
estate assessments, Montgomery
county officials need a course in
public relations.
They dropped their bombshell
some of the assessments were
nearly doubled-in a curt form
letter. 1t told you your proper
tvs current assessment, its
revaluation for the next tax
year, and if you didn't like it
you could tell it to the tax ap-
peals magiStrate-that is, if you
got your appeal in on time.
People don't like to be kicked
around by public officials this
way and they won't forget it at
the polls. Hundreds of protests
were filed. indignation meetings
held. and some residents even
threatened to sell and move else
where.
Actually, while many increases
we're very high, the revaluation
in most instances is probably
not out of line with the current
market. The total tax to be
paid on comparable properties
probably will remain higher in
the District. And there is no
doubling the legal authority for
the county action. 1t was just
the stupid. unimaginative way
the news was broken.
Few of these filing appeals are
going to get anywhere with it,
to hear county officials talk. and
they are probably right. The
storm will blow over and civic
high blood pressure will sub
side without much emigration
from Montgomery to loWer-tax
Ravens.
But next time let the officials
take a little time out to tell
their subjects in detail what is
being done, why it is necessary,
that it's happening to the neigh
bors, too. and that. since even
county officials can make mis-
takes, they would be glad to en-

If much fire exists in all the
smoke generated by election
year charges. the voters may
safely assume that the ethical
standards of the Nations elect
ed and appointed officials are
not all that could be desired.
Many current charges of i'm
proper action are echoes from
past congressional investiga-
tionS. But some-the differences
of poor Judgment in the Nixon
and Stevenson expense funds,
for instance-have arisen during
the campaign.
All Of this old and new talk
about ethics brings up the
natural questions: What ever

Government ethics? And what
can be done in the future?

solve the same problems.

was made by a Senate subcom-
