A Confession About
Jordan'S Smoked Bacon

For a long time, smoking
machines have been in general
use for smoking bacon. We con-
fess that some years ago we
bought one for smoking Jordan's
Old Fashioned Virginia Bacon.
1t turned out to be a time and
labor saving machine that fits
in nicely with modern mass pro-
duction methods-but not at all
with Jordan's century-old ira
ditions.
We soon went back to smoking
our bacon the old fashioned way
over fires kept going by hand,
dav and night.
There are some things you
can't hurry-and Jordan's Old
Fashioned Virginia Bacon-dry
cured in salt and sugar for 10
to IL days, smoked over hickory
until the juices drip and pungent
smoke permeates the meats
one of them. Look for Jordan's
Old Fashioned Virginia Bacon

Co-ahead Is Expected On Senate
Rewriting Of Bricker Proposal

WASHINGTON R-President Ii.
senhower may give congressional
leaders . go.ahead signal today fol-
efforts 10 rswrite IN the Senate
the Brieker proposal 10 curb treaty
powers.
Sen. KnoMIand lR-CaIif) said n
advance Of j White House confer.
enee be expects 10 announce later
the course TO be followed BY The
leadership on the controversial
measure now technically before the
Senate for debate.
II was obvious, however, tina.
the failure Of Sen. Ferguson d
Michigan, head Of the COP Policy
Committee, to agree with Sen.
Bricker (R-Ohio) on the terms Of
q compromise at q meeting yester-
day left COP leaders only the al
tentative Of fighting the issue out
before the Senate
Ferguson said he had not given
up hope for q compromise, but be
said he had no new talk scheduled
with the. Ohioan.
Bricker has proposed that the
Constitution be amended SO that
"a treaty shall become effective
As internal law In the United States
only through legislation which
would be valid In the absence Of
treaty."
Eisenhower has said this would
permit states to repudiate treaties,
an assertion Bricker said was FER
ToneOtis.
KnoWland and Ferguson have
prepared substitute under which
treaties made pursuant, to the
Constitution would become the su-
preme law OF the land. They said
this would open treaties to court
review OF their cOnstitutionality. Il
their internal effects were chal-
lenged.
Already approved by the State
and Justice departments, this sub
stitute needs Eisenhower's personal
'okay before It's Introduction, which
would signal the end Of efforts
TO compromise with Bricker on
the controversial points Of his pro-
posal.
II and when the substitute Is
offered, Republican leaders hope
II also will bear the names Of
some Democrats to give 1t a BIZ
partisan flavor. However, q Demo.
cratic leader who didn't want to be
quoted by name said he Is inclined
TO let the Republicans fight the
issue out among themselves.
The debate, due to get under
way tomorrow, is likely to take
several weeks.
Today's Senate session was de-
voted to consideration Of more than
$50 presidential nominations, and
to the mutual security treaty with
South Korea. No major opposition
to the treaty was in sight.
The house has little business on
tap for the week, but may reach
q vote on q Justice Department
proposal to permit evidence OBJ
tanned BY overlapping to be used
in certain federal court trials.
