(Fron Mrs. J. M. j., Silper Spring.
I have lost the initials of the
lady who asked about learning to
hook rugs. think you could learn
to hook without visual instructions
but you may get these instruc-
tions at any place that sells the
materials. I am sure. I bought
the burlap and yarn at a shop on
Eleventh street near the bus ter
minal. I'm sure the art depart
ment of any department store
would be able to help you as we'll
as the above mentioned place.
Mrs. D. l.. D., Alexandria: This
is a delicious and easy sour cream
salad dressing recipe. It is espe-
Icially nice with fruit salad. One
half cup commercially prepared
sour cream. 2 tablespoons mayon-
|naise, l teaspoon sugar, "a tea
spoon salt, l tablespoon orange
juice. Pour sour cream into bowl.
Add mayonnaise, sugar, salt,
juice and beat lightly until COM
bined.
Have any of you ever flushed
out the drain of your washing
machine as you do the drain of
your sink? Mine seems to empty
slowly and I wondered what I
could do to it.
Many thanks to the kind ladies
who sent information about adult
English classes. I meant to an

have had busy spring. I'm sure
we will find the information very
useful.
DELICIOUS DISH?
(Fronl Mrs. B. r., Washington
Several weeks ago I had a most
delicious Italian dish in a New
York restaurant. It was called
"rollatine of veal" and seemed to
be thin slices of veal, stuffed with
cheese and some seasoning, rolled
and then fastened with a strip
OF bacon, and broiled. I have
tried to duplicate this at home
but with no success. I would Ger
tainly appreciatt it If some RICH
reader can supply the recipe.

TENSION SCpCrNIc


(From Mrs. j. r. S., Washington
For the lady inquiring about the
economy of soap, would say that
she is using too much. One large
size (not giant) of the detergent
in the orange and blue box, does
my family wash Cat least twice.
and all my dishwashing for one
week for a family of four adults.
With children in the family it
would take more soap, maybe one
half more. One-half to the first
tub and another half cup of soap
as the dirtier clothes are put in
should be sufficient.
Now for the lady who wants to
know about tension screens. We
bought a few of these screens
several years ago for a trial. We
liked them so well that we bought
them for the rest of the house.
They are easy to install and there
is a great savings in the cost. We
have not had any trouble with
flies or other insects. Insist of
course, on their being wide enough
to keep the insects out. Let's be
willing to share every ones prob
lem.

Georqia's Russell Bars Few Holds
Presidents Reaction to Southern Strategy Still Secret
But He and Senator Moy Provide Rousinq Porty Fight

Or he can enter the lists for
the title of best politician. This
would mean a sacrifice Of his
own candidacy but it would
mean that if he were successful.
the next President would be Mr..
Truman's choice and largely
committed to his program.
The President and Senator
Russell are a well-matched pair
in the field of political opera
tions. They are experts who bar
few holds. Their styles are very
different. Senator Russell never
raises his voice and when he
makes a request Of q Senator
1t is always in the form Of:
Would it be perfectly con-
yenient for you to do this?"
The President is not so gentle
in his approach but his irstinc-
tive judgments are equally
sound. Probably too his homely
ways have a greater appeal to
Americans than the experts
have been willing to admit.
Democrats are watching the
outcome very anxiously. They
hoped they had .downed their
reputation for preferring a rous-
ing family fight to eventual vic
tory but they can't be sure it
won't happen again.

Constantine Brown:

The Senate Appropriations
Committee is considering re-
taliatory measures against the
State Department. The conflict
between that department and
the legislative branch Of the
Government is the result Of 4
revelation made last week by
Senators Ferguson and Nc
Carthy. They stated that Oliver
Edmund Clubb. a high-ranking
foreign service officer. had not
been cleared. by the State De-
partment's Loyalty and Sc
curity Board but its findings
had been reversed by Secretary
Acheson personally. who per-
mitted him to resign.
Deputy Undersecretary Of
State Carlisle Humelsine ap-
peared before the Appropria-
tions Committee. He was asked
what the truth was. His reply
was evasive. When requested to
bring the documents dealing
with this officer. he excused
himself on the grounds that an
executive order forbade him to
give the Senator's access to 10y
atty files.
The committee members then
demanded that the files dealing
with all such clearances be sub
mitted to them to enable them
to decide about the actual cash
needs Of the department. They
pointed out to Mr.. Humelsine
that individuals who have been
allowed to resign are entitled
to draw pensions which would
be denied to those who are
dismissed. Senator Mccarthy
pointed out that Mr.. Club is
drawing some SIS 800 a year. The
committee wanted definite in
formation as to how many SINH
lar cases exist In the depart
ment files. It sought this
information to decide how many
cleared" persons who later re-
signed were entitled to public
funds. Mr.. Humelsine was

situations that have been car

months by such Democratic

OF Southern States. The Russell
candidacy is one of the cal

decided on after considerable

Dovid Lowrence:

What Senator Russell Of Geor-
gia has done in announcing his
candidacy for the Democratic
presidential nomination will
have more bearing perhaps on
who is the next President of
the United States than the pre-
convention activity Of any other
personality In the race.
For Dick" Russell, as all his
colleagues on the Republican
and Democratic side call him,
Is really presidential caliber and
can mobilize more strength In
the Southern States than any
one else. He is q fair minded.
conscientious and capable legis-
lator. Few men know the ins
and outs Of legislation better
than he does, and his judicial
attitude toward controversial
questions has won him respect
throughout Congress.
But it is in its broad signifi-
cance that the move by Senator
Russell must be appraised. 1t
means, for instance. that If he
can gather O sizable number of
votes in the electoral college
possibly as many as 176-and if
the Republican or Democratic
nominee gets less than the re-
quired 266, the choosing of a
President would then be done
by the House of Representatives.
To put it another way, if the
Republican nominee should get
189 votes. Senator Russell. 176,
and Mr.. Truman. 166, out of
the 531 in the electoral college,

test goes automatically to the

cumstances each State casts

Eisenhower workers are bend
ing every energy to see that
such does not happen.
It may be recalled that Sena-
tor Taft deliberated anxiously
about entering the primary test
here.
Developments have revealed
certain advantages for him in
the very nature of the contest
and of the people. This will be
primarily q contest among Re-
publicans. Independents, among
whom Gen. Eisenhower has run
very strong in the national
polls. probably won't participate
to any large degree. because
they sacrifice their independent
status if they go into party
primaries. Last-minute adver-
tisements and appeals by the
Eisenhower managers have been
directed to them to come in
anyhow, which gives some
measure of the lengths to which
the Eisenhower camp is pressed.
The Taft sort of Republican
ism runs strong in the towns
here, as distinguished from the
few cities, and town meetings
this year were fixed for primary
day, which means that a large
vote will be drawn out for the
town meetings, that peculiar
New England institution in
which annual business is trans
action in pure democratic fash
ion. An old-timer, who knows
his people, observes that among
Republicans there is a tend
ency to stand by the true and
tried figure, rather than to ex-
pertinent. and that Senator Taft
should benefit from that. His
personalN appearance here will
help. too.
Harold StaSSen, who also is
entered in the preferential pri-
mary but not in the delegate
contest. is regarded as a minor
factor in the preferential vote.
though he still has some support
here. Gen. Douglas A. Mac
Arthur withdrew from the pref
erential contest but q slate Of
delegates insisted on sticking
in the race. There is much
Macarthur sentiment here,
some of which apparently re-
fuses to transfer to Senator
Taft. which seemingly is the
generals idea. and that makes
for an unknown quantity in the
primary. 1t might affect the
Taft delegate vote, and might
also be represented in q write
in vote in the preferential ball
loting.

grounds also, his colleagues will
be pleased at the flattering
notices accorded Senator Rus
sells character and record.
They-and the press-like
Dick.
There is nothing very COM
plicated about the new Russell
operation. The political situa-
ton has developed in such a
way that the Senator thinks he
can rally the South to prevent
Mr.. Truman's denomination.
If Mr.. Truman bows out, then
arrangements can be made.
So far this is all in the pat
tern by which the Southern
minority has consistently pre-
vented action on civil rights
legislation. The veto is repaid
with accommodation on other
matters.
What label Mr.. Truman is
privately applying to the Russell
strategy can readily be guessed.
What he intends to do about it
is still his secret.
He can decide to fight for re-
nomination and try to make a
liar again of the political
prophets. They are sure that
Senator Russell has made Mr..
Truman's reelection If not re-
nomination impossible.
