But il seems to me the laws OF
the land are meant to be obeyed
when they have been promulgated
by a President and sealed by the
Supreme Court, and especially
when the law deals with the edu-

Last year from Morocco and
Germany, I wrote some pieces a.
bout the breakdown Of racial diff

the more or less official, and prac-
teal end Of segregation had come

see the complete absorption Of the
colors into friendly units,
both on duty and off,
II was hard to believe that when
I went into the war you saw Ne

Modern Fccfs OF Life

To be sure, to change a whole way of
life, culture Of separateness which has
been bred into one for generations, is not
easy. The reluctance with which the white
South faces the decline of an idealism built
on flimsy myth of color is understandable
even to the Negro against whom Il is
directed. But the Supreme Court decision
presages progress which will completely
alter the Souths everyday living and it is
about time the South recognizes the mod
ern facts of life-EBONY MAGAZINE for

Presidential Power
Curb Hit by Acheson
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 81.
Dean Acheson says any law
scurbing the President in foreign
lpolicy would endanger national
security.
The Secretary of State under
President Truman says in a
special article written for The
Yale. Review that foreign policy
is the sole responsibility of the
President and Legislation that
a President must consult this
that, or the other person or body
will be futile or harmful"
The article came out today
in the national quarterly pub
lished by the Yale University
Press.
Any attempt Mr.. Acheson says,
to invade the authority and re-
sponsibility of the President on
foreign policy matters results
in negative and vacillating for
eign policy the impairment of
our world position and danger to
our national safety"
Acknowledging that Congress
has the ability to influence for
eign policy. Mr.. Acheson says it
cannot make or decide foreign
policy.
When presidential default oc-
ours 1t is not correct to say that
Congress steps into the vacant
place. Congress is not de-
signed, organized or equipped for
executive leadership, he says.
Congress is too large and rep
reSentS too many conflicting
viewpoints to exercise effective
leadership, Mr.. Acheson writes.

Stur Sfoff CORRESPONDENT


DENVER, Sept. 27.-President
Eisenhower was the supervising
chef and host today at an old
fashioned beef stew lunch for
40 newsmen and women<co covering
his activities and 81 friends of
his own choice.
The affair was conceived as
just a lunch the President was
going to cook for the press. but
got bigger as he decided to
treat some friends" Assistant
White House Press Secretary
Murray Snyder explained.
It also developed into some
thing of a promotion stunt to
boost the sale of beef and vege-
tables, but apparently not to
the extent desired by Secretary
of agriculture Benson.
Secretary Benson, among the
luncheon guests today. told q
meeting of the American Meat
Institute and United Fruit and
Vegetable Association in New
York Wednesday that Gen. Ell
senhower was turning chef to
promote sale Of meat and vege-
tables and would make an i'm
portant announcement at the
affair.
Everything "Off Record"
But Mr.. Snyder said in ad-
vance of the lunch today that
regardless of stories in the
papers, no announcements will
be made" He told reporters any,
thing said would be "of the rec
ord" and they would not need
pencils and note paper.
Asked about Mr.. Benson's
statement that the purpose of
the lunch was to promote sale
of the beef stew ingredients, Mr..
Snyder said "I think that would
be an Obvious effect Of the beef
stew luncheon"
"Is this a promotion stunt or
a party?" q reporter wanted to
know.
This is a party" Mr.. Snyder
told him.
The luncheon was being served
on the terrace of the Cherry
Hills Country Club. with the staff
there doing the actual cooking.
President Supervising"
Mr.. Snyder gave reporters in
advance a recipe labelled "Presi-
dent Eisenhower's old-fashioned
Beef Stew"
He said the President and
Jack Pierce. Cherry Hills chef.
worked it out together" and
that Gen. Eisenhower described
it as practically his own for
mula."
The President "is supervising
the cooking of it." but mot do
ing the actual cooking" Mr..
Snyder said.
The recipe as given out was
for so portions. Mr.. Snyder said
it would be increased proper
tionally to serve the nearly 80
guests. He added that it could
be adapted to average family
use by Just taking one-tenth of
the ingredients listed.
Here is the 60-portion recipe:
20 pounds steWing meat
(prime round).
8 pounds Irish potatoes
(smalD.
6 punches small carrots.
S pounds small onions.
Is fresh tomatoes.
l bunch boquet garniture.
8 gallons beef stock.
Salt. pepper and Accent.
Stew meat until tender, add
vegetables and boquet garni-
ture. Cook until vegetables are
done. Strain off gallons of
stock from stew. Thicken slight
ly with beef rue. Pour back
into, stew. Let simmer for one
half hour and serve.
Secret of Beef Rue"
Mr.. Snyder gave this further
explanation:
The stock. started Saturday
under the Presidents supervi-
sion. is made by simmering beef
marrow bones.
b The beef rue" is made by TAX
ing about one and a half pints
of the thick fat that gathers al
the top of the stock. mixing II
| with a pound of -four. and let
ting the mixture simmer for II
or Is minutes. This gives the
stew proper consistency"
