CLEANING GLASS

MRS. M. L. K, Washington
I wish to tell of a simple
way to clean glass surfaces.
My great quantity of glass and
mirrors got me down It'll I
tried: For about 10 large pieces
of glass, take one sponge, just
dampened with a detergent
comes in a green box Solu-
ton, wet a second sponge with
clear water just so it doesn't
drip. Buy a cheap, pieced
Shammy at an auto supply
store and dampen it. Then,
go over the glass with the
detergent sponge, slightly rinse
with the second sponge and
wipe dry with the shammy.
The surface comes out as new
with the greatest of ease and
absolutely no mess. This one
particular detergent is also
wonderful for cars and to
wash windows, if one will mop
them with this detergent and
then hose, no wiping is nee
essary. (To use a shammy, 1t
is necessary to thoroughly wet
it and then wiring 1t out.)

The Chef
Suys

In France no kitchen would be
complete without it's group of
casseroles in all size ranges. The
thrifty French cooks long ago
learned the economy of casserole
cookery-plus the delicious flavor
of foods served in these 'pots."
In recent years, as servants be-
came scarcer and then just
plain scarce, more women-and
men - in this country have
learned that casseroles are the
answer to easy dishes and one
that can be served from oven to
table. But as a general rule a
young housekeeper considers one
casserole to be enough-which
is the wrong idea.
There are many shapes, sizes
and colors in the casserole line
| up. From little covered pots for
onion soup to great tureenS you
can have your choice. 1t has been
suggested that a smart hostess
owning a huge tureen wheel it to
! the table on a tea cart or serv-
! ing table and place it at her
side for easy serving. But If
you are not equipped with
wheeled dining room vehicles,
the small individual pots are
the better answer.
Swiss casseroles are flattish,
usually have a pouring lip and
a hollow handle that coolS fast.
These come in all sizes, too.
They are usually reddish-clay
brown at bottom, with a glazed
dark brown lid.
French casseroles are some
what sleeper and higher as to
sides-also with hollow handles
of the same pottery. For stew
ing or braising there is a stock
pot, which is very deep and has
two handles. There is even one
of these made to hold eight
quarts If you go in for quantity
cookery. A high marmite" is
the best of all for soups and
| chowders. as it can take direct
heat.
Then there are high ovals"
which are perfectly shaped for
fowl dishes.

item about sending used greet
ing cards to Mother Marie
Downing, in Tokyo. I hasten
to inform RICH readers that,
in a recent letter from Mother
Downing, she says, I'VE are
literally sWamped with cards. "
She goes on to write of the
gratitude and surprise of the
japanese people at this gener-
osity of Americans toward a
nations recent enemy. They
could use other things, such as
good used clothing. soap flakes
or powder, coffee, any vitamin
pills, including codliver oil. and
they ask for prayers for the
success of their work. They
are so anxious not to be mis-
understood, they do not wish
to refuse an offer, but ap-

PROBLEM CHILD

Mrs. J. D. P. Washington
I've enjoyed your column
ever since I moved to Wash
ington, now I have a question
to ask.
My daughter is 2 years old.
and since New Years she has
refused to taste foods. She
won't even eat sweets, except
candy and ice cream. At that
time she was cutting teeth and
stopped eating as per usual
for her. But since then she
has refused almost all foods
offered and has been doing
so ever since. Have any read
ers had a similar experience
and what did they do? She
isn't undernourished, as she
drinks milk, eats meats and
breads, but fruits and vege-
tables are all taboo with her.
I've another question: When
a new baby arrives into the
family and the older child
must be switched from crib
to regular bed, how do you
keep them from falling out
onto the floor. uncovering
themselves and turning end
for end during the night?
Thank you so much.

the individual against collective
responsibility of anonymous
proprietors? Is it not to repre-
sent the person Of the worker
against those who are inclined
to consider him merely pro-

How, therefore, can it be con-

David Lowrence:

Maybe among the blessings Of
the year 1853 will come a new
understanding of liberalism"
and a rescue of the word from
those who in the recent past
have monopolized it while at the
same time imposing further and
further restriction on the liberty
Of thought Of the individual.
Fifty years ago a liberal"
was a person who didn't want
the Constitution narrowly con-
strued so that individual rights
would be curtailed. Today a
liberal" is one who wants the
Constitution to authorize the
Federal Government to control
through the state the life of the
individual and even to legalize
the CLOSED shop" which re-
quireS a man to surrender his
beliefs in order to get or hold a
job.
One of the most significant
pronouncements of a truly
liberal kind in this connection
has been made by Pope Plus XII
in his message recently broad
cast to the world. It hits directly
at what is known as the CLOSED
shop" in American trade union
ism. Examining the full text of
it, which has just been made
available by the National Catho-
lice Welfare Conference here,
the passage concerning modern
labor unions says:
"Consciences are today afflicted
by other burdens. Access to
employment or places of labor is
made to depend on registration
In certain parties or in organi-
cations which deal with the dis
tribution of employment. Such
discrimination is indicative of
an inexact concept of the proper
function of labor unions and
their proper purpose, which is
the protection of the interests of
the Salaried worker within mod
ern society, which Is becoming
more and more anonymous and
collectiviSt.
''1n fact, is not the essential
purpose Of unions the practical
affirmation that man Is the sub

tends to penetrate and pervade
all human life. respect for the
common good becomes dormant
in the conscience of individuals,
and the state loses more and
more its primary character of
a community Of morally respon-
sible citizens.
"Here may be recognized the
origin and source Of that
phenomenon which is submerg-
ing modern man under its tide
of anguish: his 'depersonaliza-
tion.' In large measure his
identity and name have been
taken from him: in many Of the
more important activities Of
life he has been reduced to a
mere material object of society.
while society itself has been
transformed into an imper-
sonal system and into a cold
organization Of force"
These observations touch by
implication not only the "wel-
fare state" as the British So
cialists have evolved it, but also
the pattern of New Dealism and
Fair Dealism which in the
United States for 20 years now
has been enormously presented
as a species Of liberalism"
Such historic traits of American
character as thrift and indi-
vidual enterprise have been
subordinated to the concept of
an all-powerful. all-pervasive
state which assumes that the
Government owes every man a
reward for citizenship and a
high standard of living subsi-
died by successful and hard
working citizens irrespective Of
q mans failure to work or to
perform efficient service for the
wages paid him.
True liberalism recognizes the
individual as a responsible men,
ber of society with duties and
obligations Of citizenship as
we'll as civil rights. The en-
phasis has too long been on
abstract rights without taking
into account the individuals
obligation to society.

This battle is certain to
arouse bitter antagonism, as al
ways, and to stir up ancient
prejudices that go deeper than
current good will toward the
new President and his party.
It is a most painful and en-
barrassing sort of hazing for a
freshman President. Curbing
of the f1libuster is in keeping
with the Democratic platform
and in keeping with pledges Of
leading Republicans, among
others, Senator Ives Repub-
lican, New York;, one Of
Gov. Dewey's recognized lieu
tenants in Congress, and an
early supporter of Gen. Eisen-
hower's nomination. Senator
Ives, along with a number Of
other Republicans, has joined
with Democrats outside the
South in forcing the issue at
the outset of the new Congress
opening Saturday.
Gen. Eisenhower is not Pres
ident yet, and won't be until
January 20. He has chosen to
leave this issue, for the time
being at least to the Senate.
But the fight could possibly
run into the beginning of his
administration if it follows the
protracted course of other Sen
ate fights over the filibuster
and civil rights.
It could confront the incom-
ing President with a serious
dilemma at the start Of his
career because of the natural
desire to keep the good will of
the South and, more impor-
family, of its representatives in
Congress upon whom, because
Of, the narrow party division,
he must rely from time to time,
particularly on foreign policy.
Also because of the narrow
party division, Southern Sem
ators are in a bargaining posi-
tion which they fully appreciate
and which they are capable Of
capitalizing to the utmost be-
cause of their skill at legisla-
tive maneuver from long ex-
perience.
The filibuster issue likewise
poses quite a problem for
Senator Taft as administration
leader. Hitherto he has main
tanned a close working arrange
ment with Southern conserva-
tives. It is significant that the

AS the pattern develops in
Congress for the incoming Eli

comes clear that Southern Dem
ocratic conservatives will hold a
strategic balance of power. They
could become as much of a prob
lem for the Republican admin
istration in certain areas Of
legislative conflict as they were

Eisenhower than any other
Republican candidate in history.
That, of itself. established what
the Latins call "sympatico" be-
tween the South and the new
President.
Southern conservative Demo-
Gratis in Congress generally take
positions on economic issues
compatible with majority Re-
publican opinion and some Of
them, in fact. are Republican in
that respect for all practical
purposes. On foreign policy, be-
cause Of traditions deeply rooted,
they likewise espouse course
of international cooperation
which accords with the Presi-
dent-elect's general approach.

some Republicans in Congress.
There is one exception in the

of their party from other Sec

this issue all Southerners in
Congress, irrespective of their
views on other matters, are
united and in that they reflect
q majority of their Southern con-
stituents, including that great
multitude which voted for Gen.
Eisenhower, many of the latter
still in high dudgeon against
President Truman.
That, of course. is the thorny
civil rights issue.
OF all issues, this one now
suddenly has been thrust to the
fore for first treatment at the
very opening of the new Con-
gresS and on the eve Of Gen.
EiSenhower's Inauguration. It
comes in the battle over change
