Complete Chicken Cookery"
by Marion Tracy, published by
the Bobbs-Merrill Co., Inc. ($3), =,
Is another in a long line of spe-
Qality books dealing with one
specific food. In the writing of
this book the author says she
became obsessed in the eating of
chicken. In a restaurant she
saw nothing on the menu but
chicken, and her friends bonn
barded her with chicken recipes.
She firmly believes chicken is
the most accommodating of all
meats You could serve it on
your table five days a week for
so consecutive weeks without
ever repeating the same recipe.
The dishes in her book range all
the way from the very simple to
the very elaborate. You'll find
directions for making Country
Captain, a dish claimed alike
by the Deep South or the Far
East, depending on who's talk
ing. Down Mexico way they
dote on chicken mole. You may
shudder when you learn the
sauce contains chocolate but,
surprisingly enough, it tastes like
q smooth fiery version of chilli
sauce, However you fancy your
chicken cooked, it's a safe bet
you'll find the recipe, or one
close to it, in this volume. In

emphasis is placed on the simple,

all types Of liquors and how to
serve them, plus many tricks of
the trade. The book contains
all the standard cocktail recipes
plus many of the fancy concoc-
tions. One chapter is devoted
to non-alcoholic beverages, an
other to punch bowl mixtures
for dances and parties. The
book is a treasure house of old
and new ideas in the food de-
partment. Recipes cover every
thing from dunking bowls to hot

signed to make your party the

Report to the
Turkey Growers
Market EorIy;
Fruit for jelly
By Violet Faulkner


Looking ahead to the holidays.
you would be very smart to take
advantage of the current ample
supplies of small Beltsville tur-
keys coming on the market this
month. If you have room in
your freezer, tuck a couple away
for eating later on when prices
may not be so attractive. Tur-
key growers are marketing ear
lier this year with the bulk Of the
crop in the lighter-weight, con-
umer-size birds.
For Fridays fish dinners you'll
find some reasonable buys in live
Maine lobster. If shell fish is
not to your liking, there are
plenty of pan-siz rock to be had.
also bass, butterfish, mullets and
trout. One fish market Is ex-
pecting fresh red Snappers from
Florida for the weekend trade.
Food PIentifuIs
Potatoes are the No. l vege-
table on this weeks shopping
list. The harvest is well under
way with carloads aires dy
shipped and plenty more on the
way. Not only will there be q
lot of 'em, but prices are low. One
dealer told me they were as
cheap as he could ever remember
them. Railroads and trucks are
bringing them in from near and
far from Maine. Idaho, New
Jersey. California, Nebraska,
Oregon and Wisconsin. The
estimated total for this years
crop is expected to run to some
383 million bushels. No potato
famine this year.
Sweet potatoes, while not as
plentiful, had q good growing
year. too, with the crop 10 per
cent larger than a year ago.
When you buy sweets, keep in
mind they are not good keepers.
They will spoil rather quickly in
the home kitchen. Did you know
this vitamin-rich potato is a
cousin of the morning glory and
is totally unrelated to the Irish
potato. despite the name?
Fruits Of Every Hue
Red, green. deep purple and
gold the fruit stands reflect
the colors of the rainbow.
Green grapes spill over purple
ones with the red tokays adding
pretty contrast. Take your
choice between the Seedless
Thompsons. muscatels, tokays or
Concords. BY the way, If you're
interested in Concords for jelly
you had better act fast. Their
season is short and another
couple weeks will see the end of
them. This holds, too, for the
rosy red crab apples we saw.
Excellent quality, they're coming
in from New York State and the
time is now if you want any
for picking or jelly.
Apples, generally, are getting
more plentiful as the season
advances. The varieties now in
clude the summer rambo for
cooking, red delicious for good
eating and the Western Jona-
than is just as good for eating
out of hand as it is for apple
sauce or a cobbler.
It's an off season for straw
berries but some Of the local
dealers are getting them by air
from California. Pricewise,
they're very little higher than
during the regular season and
the quality is tops. In fact.
they're the most perfect berries
we've seen all year. Each one is
as dewy fresh as if it had been
picked this morning.
Before we forget, there's q
limited supply of purple damsons
around. If you're thinking in
terms of damson preserves,
don't delay. They'll be gone if
you wait too long. We should
remind you, too. that the small,
reddish brown Seckel pears are
also available. More on the fruit

Trade With Reds

Trade with Communist China
has been a bone of contention be-
tween American statesmen and
the allies since the Korean war
started. The United States has
stopped all trade in American
owned vessels. Far East minded
Senators have urged that our
friends follow suit. Other nations,
however have contended that 1t is
economically necessary to carry on
some trade with normal markets
which now are Communist. They
say also that such trade ID better
for the West than for the Reds.
Something of a compromise be-
tween the two points Of view has
been worked out through negotia-
ton and also through the pressure
OF the so-called Battle Act en-
bargoing strategic materials. The
goal on the part Of American au-
thorities has been to stop trade In
goods that can be used for produc-
ton of military supplies.

Can We Agree?
So the big question to be an
swered at Bermuda is not, Should
we talk with Malenkov?" but, Can
we agree on what to tell Malenkov
if we decide to talk?" If Britain
and the United States can agree,
then it would be hard for the West
to lose, whether or not a face-to-
face talk is held with the Russian
leader.
Certainly some agreements will
be reached at Bermuda. The
Churchill and Eisenhower reputa-
t1onS are built to large degree
on skill at the conference table.
And the large area of mutual in
tereSt recognized by both countries
will give them an incentive. For
Britain and the. United States to
break up with a decision to "go
it alone" would be inconceivable.
The conference will have one
immediate benefit: It will help the
new Eisenhower administration
clarity its own views. The ad-
ministration has varied in its at
titude toward the peace offensive
from, 1--WE will accept it on face
value, and we will meet them half

will be forced to settle on a policy
and fill in the details before it

Ike A HEAVY TANK StOrm1ng
IL the Siegfried Line, President
Eisenhower moved ahead last week
with his tax program, designed
according to partisan advance no.
tice-to bring Republican fiscal
sanity to tax-weary America.
And formidable as the Siegfried
Line itself stood New York'S crusty
Representative Daniel Reed, head
of the House Ways and Means
Committee.
Ike's troops had cracked a Sieg-
fried Line before. But this time
it would take at least equally pow
erful-if less tangible-weaponS to
crack the one ahead. Under the
Constitution, bolstered by ancient
custom. the President of the
United States proposes and the
chairman of the Ways and Means
diSposes And this time the chair
man of the ways and means was
disposed to say nothing but no.
Both the President and Mr..
Reed were fighting on the same
side, up to a point. They agreed
that taxes were too high. But
beyond that point Of agreement
their views diverged. Gen. Eisen-
hover said that in spite Of the
high level of taxes, they should
not be cut right now. Mr.. Reed
said the people demanded and ex-
pected tax cut and he was going
to see that they get it.
And" Mr.. Reed added, when
fight, I fight"
Evening star., 1953-05-24

can be done, due to Mr.. Reeds
adamant stand on the death of
excess profits and the early cut
back in individual taxes There are
number of parliamentary tricks
that can be used, to be sure, but
precisely because they are tricks a
great many legislators will be loath
to use them-not because of their
trickiness necessarily, but mainly
because every legislator thinks of
himself as being some day COM
mittee chairman who would not
like to be tricked out of his
prerogatives.
There are now exactly 81 days
before the excess profits dies. While
it is not impossible to get the
excess profits extension through
Congress in that period, it will be
difficult. And If so much as a day
passes after the deadline, it then
will be practically impossible to get
a new excess profits law through.
And If the excess profits tax dies,
the clamor for an early cutback in
individual taxes-"just as a matter
of fairness to the workingman"-
will grow even louder than it is
now.
A Tip-OH?
But whatever happens between
now and June 80, the President Is
on record for a whole new tax
program in fiscal 1855. What is
he thinking about? That remains,
for the present, his secret. But
some observers thought they saw
a hint in one passage Of his
speech emphasis supplied:
Third: The reduction in excise
taxes, which would take place next
April under present law, should
not be put into effect pending the
development OF a Sounder system
OF erciSe taxation, for Which / shall
make specific recommendations to
the Congress nert January"
What, in the Presidents mind,
is "sounder system of excise tax
atom? That was big question to
a great many people. Was he
thinking about a general sales tax,
which many people consider a
sound way Of raising money? If
so, what will organized labor have
to say about that? Labor regards
a sales tax as a poor mans bur-
den," because the poorer a man the
less able he is to afford an extra
or 2 per cent in sales taxes. And
how long would the Presidents
Democratic friends stay with him
in his battles for continued high
taxes If the taxes took the form Of
a sales levy which liberals hate
so ardently?
It was such questions as these
that must have made the President
last week pause to reflect that he
has his work cut out for him in
coming months.

Congress

THERE WE'RE STRONG signs on
IL Capitol Hill last week that
President Eisenhower was about to
meet the first serious legislative
test of his administration. The
fight would be over Air Force
appropriations. And this time,
the Democrats were showing no
inclination to come to his rescue.
In his new budget, the President
requested SILT billion in appro-
priations for the Air Force, $5.1
billion less than President Truman
had recommended for the coming
fiscal year.
In defending the cut, Secretary
Of Defense Wilson opened with this

Presidents Plan

The Presidents interim tax pro-
gram-a new one will be enun-
ciated in his budget message to
Congress next January-was con-
ditioned by three major factors:
/. The Truman administration

81
had set in motion so huge a spend
ing machine that it could not be
stopped overnight.
q. The Truman administration
had overestimated the sum the
Government would take in for the
year beginning next July /.
3. The state of the world is such
that although some reductions can
be made in defense outlays, spend
ing in that field must continue
heavy.
AIMS Spelled Out
1n a radio address to the Ma
tion Tuesday night, and again in
a message to Congress on Wednes-
day, Gen. Eisenhower spelled out
his budgetary diagnosis and his
tax prescription.
AS to the budget:
The Truman budget of last jan
uary had contemplated expendi-
lures of $78.6 billion. This was too
high by $4.5 billion. This admins
q tration intended to spend $74.1 bill
lion in fiscal 1854.
Former President Truman had
set receipts at $68.7 billion. But
the Eisenhower administration had
determined that this was too opti-
mistic by $1.2 billion. All the
Government would receive in fiscal
1854, Gen. Eisenhower said, would
be $67.5 billion.
But Gen. Eisenhower planned
some changes in the tax laws that
had not been taken into account
by his predecessor. These changes
would net the Government an
additional ST billion in the coming
fiscal year.
The upshot of it all, the PreSi-
dent said, would be a deficit this
year of $2.8 billion on a cash basis,
or twice that-$5.6 billion-on an
administrative basis. The differ
ence between cash and admins
trative deficits is the amount due
to go into such Government trust
funds as social security.
No BoIonced Budget
Obviously, the budget for fiscal
1854 would not be the long-sought-
after balanced budget" But at a
press conference Thursday, Treas
ury Secretary Humphrey said he
expected income and outgo to be
Gin balance" by the end of fiscal
"a. He wavered at first, but
finally answered in the affirmative
with reservations-the question:
Can we then hope for a balanced
budget for fiscal 1855?
On this point, the President and
his chief fiscal man seemed to be
somewhat at isSue-or perhaps
it was just quibble on the. part
of the press. Gen. Eisenhower had
said that q balanced budget was
a good prospect If things do not
get worse. Mr.. Humphrey said it
could be hoped for II things got
better. Left unanswered this week
end was the question: What If
things stayed just the same-as
they have since the Korean war
began nearly three years ago?
Evening star., 1953-05-24
What About Taxes?

Dan Reed was perfectly correct
when he said the people wanted
tax cut. People always want a
tax cut. And on the face of it, the
President was equally correct when
he said q tax cut would not be fea-
sible at this time. One of the few
things economists agree on is that
deficit spending by a big Govern
ment breeds big imitation. Hence,
as President Eisenhower saw it,
the flrst order Of business was to
Evening star., 1953-05-24

cal 1854, but would amount to
about 81 billion year thereafter.
o individual income tares. In No
vember, 1850, a Korean war levy
was slapped on individual incomes,
raising the tax an average of II
per cent. This measure brings in
approximately So billion year. 1t
is scheduled to die-with income
taxes cut back to their former
levelS-on December 81, but will
bring the Government about $1.1
billion between July and the end
of the year.
The President wants this meas
ure continued until its normal date
of expiration, when the individual
tax reduction will take place.
Mr.. Reed wants the expiration
date moved up from December 81
to June 80, to coincide with the
scheduled death of the excess
profits tax. The President says this
would cost the Government $1.1
billion.
. Ercise t1reS. These levies
amount to sales taxes and are ex-
pressed either in percentages or
dollars-and-cents. There are excise
taxes on thousands of items, and
only q few are to be reduced on
April /, 1854. These are:
/. Liquor, down from $10.50 a
gallon to 50.
2. Beer, down from 50 a barrel
to So.
8. Wines, reductions in existing
taxes of between IL and 20 per
cent.
4. Automobiles and motorcycles,
down from 10 per cent to 7.
S. Trucks, buses, accessories,
parts, down from 8 per cent to S.
6. Cigarettes, down from 8 cents
a pack to z.
7. Gasoline and diesel oil, down
from 2 cents gallon to 112.
8. Sporting goods, down from is
per cent to 10.
These items, the President says,
bring in 81 billion a year. Their
indefinite extension will add 5000
million to Government revenues
in that part OF fiscal 1854 between
next April and next June 80.
. Old-1ge insurance tGres. These
are not taxes in the same sense
that income and excise levies are.
In other words, their primary pur-
pose is not the raising of revenue.
Rather. they are designed to build
up Self-Sustaining fund for the
current and subsequent payment
of pensions.
At present, the great majority of
American workers pay ~ cents
out of every dollar-up to the first
$500 earned in a year-into this
So-called social security" fund.
Employers contribute a like
amount. Thus, as much as $l08 a
year can be contributed in the in
tereSt of a single worker.
The law as now written would
raise this contribution, on both
sides, to 2 per cent, starting Janu-
ary l, 1854. The maximum then
would be $144. But President Ell
senhower says the fund now has
$18 billion in tin the form Of
Government securities - and is
taking in more than it pays out.
He wants to delay the increase
from 1K to 2 per cent for another
year. This will save the majority
Of covered workers $18 year in
withholding taxes.
