HOWPSOHs IL
unanimous approval Of q bill
by the business subcommittee
Of the Senate District Com
mittee.
The bill. sponsored by SEN
ator Beall. Republican. Of
Maryland, would allow the
PUG. to order a dividend cam
celed whenever it found such
dividend would impair the
capital of the utility. It would
make dividends payable only
if earnings or earned surplus
were sufficient after provisions
for reasonable reserve. Divi-
dends also would be contingent
on maintenance of adequate
service at reasonable rates.
While the bill is primarily
aimed at the transit company,
it would apply to all the utili-
ties and the others are plenty
perturbed Even more upset
are some brokers who feel that
if such restrictions are put on
the companies they won't be
able to sell the stock at all.
AS a matter of fact, some
brokers who have studied the
transit company figures will
tell you it is in much better
financial condition today than
it was before the Wolfsons
took over and that the opera
tion is far more aeff1cient.
That's quite a mouthful for a
transit rider to- swallow at
present fares, however.
At any rate, the betting is
that neither the Beall bill nor
it's House companion spon-
sored by Representative Simp-
son, Republican, Of Illinois
will ever get through. II it
does, it probably will contain
enough amendments to limit
its application to the transit
company.
Another Threat
Curiously the Appropria-
~ tions Committee report on
the aforementioned independ-
ent Offices supply bill quite in
nocently raised questions about
the bold $500 million Zecken-
dorf plan for redevelopment OF
Southwest.
It questioned the propriety
of Federal slum- clearance
funds going toward a coliseum
in New York's big Columbus
Circle redevelopment. The
committee emphasized that
Federal money must be spent
primarily for residential de-
velopment. This at first seemed
to be a roadblock to the DIS
trict project.
After listening to a floor
explanation that the commit
tees sole interest was in pre-
venting misuse Of Federal
Slum-clearance money. Dis
trict Redeveloper John Searles
left the gallery with the feel
ing that the committee raised
no threat to the local project.

support now is 80 per cent.
With butter, it can be flexible
within limitS.)
Immediate result Of the adj
miniStration move was a re-
duction Of butter prices in the
stores. Prices dropped below
so cents a pound in many
stores. Various grades are ex-
pected to level off soon at
about 8 cents under their for
mer prices.
Secretary of Agriculture
Benson reasons that lower
prices will mean higher con-
sumption, smaller Government
Stockpiles and eventually more
money to the farmer. There
were objections to his pro-
gram, however. Last week the
National Farmers Union. a
high-support-price organiza-
ton. told Congress Mr.. Benson
was trying to undermine the
farm program bit by bit. Other
farmer groups. on the other
hand. favor flexibility in the
support program.
Labor
Congress settled down last
week to one of the toughest
jobs facing it this year:
Amendment Of the Taft Hart
ley labor law.
The Senate Labor Commit
tee was the first to act, al
though the House Committee
is expected to recommend a
bill this week. Senators now
have a measure which paral-
lels closely the recommended
tions made by President
Eisenhower. The bill, ap-
proved on straight party-line
vote, makes no fundamental
changes in the law. but COR
rects" some shortcomings. The
Senate did make two signifl-
cant changes in the White
House bill: It dropped the pro-
vision requiring q Federally
conducted strike vote among
employees. and 1t gave States
more power in handling labor
disputes.
Among the other provisions:
Evening star., 1954-04-04

against ''those who would de-
Stroy it," Main provisions In
the broad program were these:
Extension for three years of
the Reciprocal Trade Agree
ments Act. modification Of the
Buy American" Act. granting
Of power to the President to
lower tariffs on q variety OF
items by 5 per cent a year,
conclusion of the program of
direct economic aid abroad
and liberalization Of restric-
tions on trade between East
and West.
Few Republican Congress-
men spoke out for the Presi-
dents program, though Senate
Majority Leader Knowland
said "a good deal" of the pro-
posals looked satisfactory to
him. Chairmen of the House
and Senate committees which
will handle the trade bills both
are known to oppose much of
the program-which is based
on the Randall Commission
report-but they were silent
last week. The Republican
Party, of course, has long
stood for protection of home
industry, especially in time Of
unemployment.
Best guess from the by
standerS: Congress will do as
little as possible on the PreSi-
dents proposals unless the
White House puts heavy politi-
cal pressure on the lawmakers.

\ The cooking Of sukiyaki is done
before the diner. the theory being
originally that the diner could
see everything that went into
its preparation and know what
he was eating.
Mrs. Jones shopped for the
ingredients of her dinner for two
days, and the actual serving Of
the meal took 31a hours.
The japanese ingredients such
as shoyu. a type Of mild soy

made from soy beans, were pur.
chased from a Japanese store
here which caters to the EN-.

Put That Sp,ingtins Urge to Uork

NOW WHEN THESE lovely warm
days are at hand and we feel the
urge to spend lot of time out of
doors, let's put this urge to work.
Most of our ranches and farms
are equipped with plenty of good
machinery that can do a big job in
a few hours. We usually have light
pickup trucks and tractors, cult
vators and dump trucks. Let's press
these into our service and in no
time we will have a much better
looking place ready for our spring
planting of flowers trees and shrubs.
First let us take a good long i'm
personal look at things through the
eyes of stranger who might be
coming to visit us here for the first
time. There is a great accumula-
ton of tumbleweeds, leaves, broken
branches and limbs, as well as all

appear they will be just right for
a tender dinner when that hen
comes along and scratches them out.
So look again at that fence and
repair or build as is necessary.
There is nothing in the world
more beautiful and more greatly
appreciated than those gorgeous and
colorful tulips, those fragrant hya-
cinths, and gay, dainty jonquils. If
you have small, dainty bulbs and
creeping plants in your rock garden,
look all this area over closely to
determine if any thing is destroying
them. The creeping phlox comes
up and greens early followed by its
masses of dainty pink or blue flow
ers. 1t is a faithful perennial.
The driveway needs a good
working over :. two or three loads
of gravel will work wonders here.
You can get the men and boys to
help in nearly all this work now,
but soon they will be too busy with
their own farm and ranch work, so
seize this opportunity.

stroyed the flower beds.
The strong winds have carried
every kind of trash and left it on
the flower beds and lawn. Be care
full here with your raking, as you
may uncover some of the delicate
plants too early.
If this trash is dry, burn it. But
by all means see that the burning
of all refuse in supervised, as great
damage may result in a grass fire
getting out of control.
Look to your fences next and
remember that good looking fence
can be your greatest aid if it is also
proof against chickens, farm animals
and the dogs. Even if the poultry
are penned in and well fenced there
is always that stray chicken which
ruins your choicest tulip bed. AS

Family Experiences
Training Helps
Honemaking
By Mrs. Kenneth CbriStiSOp
FIatbead County

1 HAVE NEVER felt that my
homemaking was particularly eff
cient since I have not thought of it
from that angle. Our plans have al
ways been family affairs, and have
been a challenge to all of us.
We are in a moderate income
bracket, so the first thought always
has been "what do we most want?"
From that point we try to budget
time and money to most effectively
accomplish our aims. We have al
ways made our plans flexible, be-
cause often too rigid ruling defeat
the original purpose.
1 believe that a savings program
in all families is a must, but that
the amount must be in parallel with
income and expenditures. Too often
the goal is set too high and is dis
couraging from the beginning. Many
of us plan too heavily for complete
security in the future, forgetting in
the meantime to enjoy living today.
Time management has presented
the most problems to me. With grow
ing children there have often been
emergencies. have tried never to
be too busy to stop my work to help
my children with their problems. In
the long run believe that this has
paid me dividends many times over.
Truly I believe that any home
maker is fortunate to have had home
economics training. Help comes to
me, not only from the technical
knowledge, but from the feeling of
confidence and assurance 1 have
gained from my education that there
is way to meet all problems.
I firmly believe that seeking edu-
cation from formal schooling, expert
ence, reading, listening, or from
other sources is essential to happy
and well balanced life. Not always
does education give us material
things, but from it we develop the
capacity to enjoy to the fullest ali
things we have.
