Diced Ice CFeom
When you take ice cream
orders at your house how many
different tastes do you have to
satisfy? Three or four, I'll bet.
It's not only a nuisance to pur-
chase that much of a variety.
but it can also create quite a
storage problem. Merchandisers
of ice cream have found the
answer to your dilemma in a
new pack they call diced ice
cream cubes. These handy in
dividual cubes come in a variety
of flavors (each one generous
serving) that will give every one
just what they want. Another
advantage to this type pack is
the convenience with which they
can be stored in the home
freezer. You'll be seeing these
same diced cream cubes served
at your favorite soda fountain,
too, as well as in the take-home
package.
Here and There:
When you're down to the last
tasty morsels of your festive bird,
add 1 cup of turkey bits to a can
of mushroom soup diluted with
u cup milk. Heat and serve over
hot packaged pre-cooked rice and
garnish with slivered toasted al
mondS. The question has
come up about storing fruit cake
in a freezer. In order to develop
its rich flavor and texture let it
age 4 weeks first then you can
keep it in your freezer as long
as you like. Adding the final dec
orations to a fruit cake should be
done after the cake has been
properly aged. You can give it a
beautiful glaze by brushing its
surface with hot corn sirup which
has been brought to a full boil.
Before the glaze hardens. add
your decorations of toasted al
monds, walnut halves and glazed
fruit. =. =. Bake fruit cakes in
a slow oven (250 to 275 degrees
F) allowing about 212 hours for
1-pound cakes or 3 to AZ hours
for larger ones. The cake is done
if when touched with fingertip,

For Turkey;
Great Cake
By Violet FouIkner

NO shortages IN the turkey de-
partment for Thanksgiving;
birds of all sizes should be easy
to find. The supply is almost
as large as last year when pro-
duction set an all-time record.
Ample, too. are the supplies of
cranberries for the sauce that's
a must" to compliment the tur-
key. Cranberry growers have
just harvested their largest crop
In history. The turkey. growers
boast they'll have close to Sc
million birds to market this year
and the cranberry people prom
ise at least 2 cans of cranberry
sauce for each turkey.
With the holiday getting
closer and closer, our telephone
has been jingling with calls
about stuff1ng that noble bird.
"How much stuffing do I need
for a 12-pound turkey" is a typi-
cal question. To help solve this
culinary problem, here's a guide.
It is based on the ready-to-cook
weight Of the turkey. Generally
speaking you should allow ap-
proximately "a cup stufiing per
pound. For amounts of Short
ening, seasoning and liquid con-
suit the following table.

If the modern housewife

she would throw up her hands
in despair. But to Martha Wash

cause in addition to it's size, she
always served it for great coca

have a great cake in the larder.
When her granddaughter,

Woodlawn plantation, Martha's S
favorite recipes went with them,
including the one for this special
cake. The original recipe, still
preserved at Mount Vernon, has
been carefully adapted by the
historical staff of the National
Trust for Historic Preservation,
which trust administers Wood
lawn, and the order of mixing
improved. Fruits for the present.
day cake have been selected from
those known to be available our
ing that period. The cake is not
oversweet and is delicious served
with tea, coffee or sherry. It will
keep fresh for 3 or 4 weeks after
baking and, if placed in an air
tight tin, will keep about a week
after the original package has
been opened. 1t is not a heavy
fruit cake that improves with
age. However, we doubt if you'll
have to worry about it's keeping
qualities, it won't last that long.

Spectacular Secret
Testimony Hinted
By Keating in Talk

Representative Keating. Re-
publican, of New York, yester-
day declared that allegations Of
two or three witnesses made re-
Gently in executive session of a
House judiciary. Subcommittee
would "blow the Capitol dome
right off and the White House
with it" if made public.
Mr.. Heating, who heads the
House Judiciary subcommittee
on the Department of Justice
and on Patents and Antitrust
Laws, made the assertion be-
fore a luncheon meeting Of the
D. C. League of Women Voters
at the YWCA.
Partially COrrObOrated.
He later confirmed that the
startling testimony was made
before the subcommittee on the
Justice Department, but declined
to identify the investigation.
The testimony of a single wit
ness has been partially corrob-
Grated" he said, but added it
involved too high-up figures to
make it public without something
to back it up"
Mr.. Keating made the disclo-
sures while explaining provisions
of HR-29, his bill for laying
down a set of rules for all con-
gressional investigating commit
tees.
Holds Assurance Needed.
In his opinion, he stressed, it
is not right for the investigating
committees Ito hold public hear
ings in cases such as this until
we are sure roughly, to the ex-
tent that a grand jury is sure,
that there is sufficient evidence
that should be presented to the
public"
He told the league members
the entire power to investigate
is not specifically granted in the
Constitution, but springs from
the powers of legislation.
In order to legislate," he ex-
planned, I'VE must investigate. !"
Mrs. Lloyd S. Luther, D. C..
League president, presided at
the luncheon.

Plan Is Abandoned
To Halt Food Gifts
To East Ber|iners
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BERLIN, Aug. 14.-West Ber-
Inns government today aban-
doned plans to halt its food dis
tribution to East BerlinerS for II
days and announced the give
away would continue without
pause.
The City Senate said the
American-sponsored parcels Of
food would be given out daily to
all Soviet Zone residents who
come for them. Earlier the Sen
ate had planned to continue
supplying only East Zoners from
outside Berlin and to hold up
distribution to East Berliners be-
ginning Sunday while the pro-
grams facilities were reor-
ganiZed.
Since the venture started July
27, almost 21a million parcels Of
lard, sugar, canned milk and
dried vegetables have been given
to Fasteners. The hungry
braved tough Communist police
controls and countermeaSures to
smuggle the coveted packages
back home.
Paid Stats to Take Over.
Volunteers have been handling
the distribution so far. The gov
ernment said paid stats would
take over. New handout stations
also will be set UP, since schools
which have been used reopen
soon for classes.
The Senate denied reports,
published in America, that the
British and French had objected
to continuing the program be-
cause Of fear Of Russian repris-
ais. A British spokesman also
said he knew nothing of any
such objection.
A French official said: Ger
tainly we've not been too heart
lily in favor of the entire idea,
but we've not protested about
it nor do we intend to-"
Had Expressed Concern.
Allied officials said that when
the food distribution was under
taken, some British and French
authorities had expressed con-
Germ that it might boomerang
against the East Germans.
But these officials said West
German and American authori-
ties convinced their reluctant
colleagues that the anger of the
East Germans, as illustrated by
the June II revolts. was of such
that the Communist
regime would tread slowly in
trying to combat food handouts.

Wheat Farmers Drop
Work 70 Cast Votes
On Crop Controls
BY the Assoeiossd Press

Wheat farmers took OF from
crop work today to ballot in a
Nationwide referendum on a
proposal that the Federal Gov
ernment be allowed to restrict
production and marketing OF
wheat next year.
The purpose of the proposal
made by Secretary of Agriculture
Benson under terms Of the farm
aid LAWS to prevent the pro-
duction next year of q wheat
crop that would add to a stag
gering surplus Of the grain. The
vote thus has important eco
nomic significance, and political
overtoneS as well.
An affirmative vote of at least
two-thirds Of those voting is re-
Quired to put the proposal into
effect. Some 900, 900 growers are
eligible to vote in polling places
established in all wheat-growing
communities by local and State
farmer committees.
To Count Votes Tonight.
Department officials arranged
to tabulate the ballots tonight,
They expected the results to be
known shortly after midnight.
Secretary Benson and some
other officials said they expected
the proposal to win approval.
But reports circulated yesterday
among wheat traders that pri-
vate polls showed a possibility
quotas would be defeated.
Heavy selling on the Chicago
Board Of Trade forced wheat fu-
lures down yesterday to the low
est prices in more than six years,
but by the close they had re-
covered to $1.81A to $1.S2 a
bushel, u to n of a cent lower
than Wednesdays finish.
First Since 1912.
The referendum is the first
held on wheat controls since
1912, when they were approved
by an 82.4 per cent majority of
the $4,000 growers then voting.
Similar controls may be in
voked for cotton and corn next
year. They already are in ef-
feet for peanuts and major types
Of tobacco.
Because Of the possible sharp
decline in wheat prices that
would follow a defeat of controls,
Chirman Hope of the House Ag-
ricultural Committee has urged
farmers to vote for them. Mr..
Benson has kept hands off ex-
cept to urge all eligible farmers
to vote.
