Fudge-Nut Frosting - sounds
good = you bet 1t looks yummy
too. If you have had trouble max
ing the kind of chocolate frosting
that you want, here are two recipes,
one cooked and one uncooked. Either
one is good, whether you use them
on your favorite cake recipe or on
the popular package mix.
A candy thermometer is a handy
thing to have to tell you when your
fudge frosting has cooked just to the
right consistency. Before you beat
the cooked syrup, let it cool until
the bottom of the pan feels just a
little bit warm to the hand This is
important for the GREATNESS you
like.
Another suggestion for easy
spreading = before you have beaten
the Fudge-Nut Frosting to the point
where it is stiff enough to go on
the cake = spread a thin layer of
frosting over the cake to seal crumbs.
Then you can smooth on the remain
der of the frosting quickly when it
holds the spreading consistency. If
frosting firms before the job is COM
pleted, stir in a few drops of hot
water or hot cream. Another tip is
to set the pan of frosting in hot
water while you work, this will keep
it from hardening too fast

fuses to reverse Judge YounRdahl.
Mr.. Rover warned that the lower
court ruling would cripple the
investigating activity Of Con-
gress.
The four counts thrown out by
Judge Youngdahl charged that
Mr.. baltimore lied to the Sen
ate subcommittee when he:
/. Denied he had ever been a
sympathizer or any other kind of
promoter Of communism.
2. Denied that he knew a writer
called "Asiaticus" was a Commu-
mist.
3. Denied that. as editor OF
Pacific Affairs" he published
articles by persons (other than
RussianS) he knew to be Com
muniSts.
4. Denied making prearrange-
ment with the Communist Party
before a trip to Red-controlled
areas in Northern China in 1887.
Mr.. OMahoney told the APP
peal court that baltimore at one
point used 100 words to declare
to the Senate subcommittee that
he never was a Communist, fell
low traveller, agent, sympathizer
or any kind of promoter of Com
munists. But the Government,
Mr.. O'Mahoney charged. "blue-
penciled it down to about II
words" to get an indictment
mainly on a vague and indefi-
mite count referring to sympa-
thizer or promoter.
Mr.. O'Mahoney maintained
that at least the first count
violated constitutional provisions
guaranteeing free speech and
preventing double jeopardy.
From a purely procedural stand
point also, he said, the four
counts were properly dismissed
because they lacked essential
elements.
Mr.. Rover held that the counts
clearly contained all necessary
elements charging Mr.. baltimore
with knowingly committing per-
jury.

full, too.
Until the day of the chain reactor, there
just weren't enough ,radioisotopes to go
around So you can thank atomic energy for
these medically invaluable radioelements.
You can also thank Inco Nickel for bearing
hand in this powerful, new attack on disease.
It takes highly corrosive fluorine gas, you
see, to produce an intermediate chemical used
in the production of certain types of fuel for
atomic piles
And it takes corrosion-resisting Nickel to
handle 1uorine. For this destructive gas burns
water. dissolves glass, crumbes stone, ignites
asbestos and steel.

contradictory statements as mere misunder
standings or poor memory. This is ridiculous
in the face of the nature of the conflicting
testimony.
We believe that every citizen of the Unit
ed States, whether of high rank or ordinary
status, is entitled to the same brand of JUS
tice. This even-handed justice that has
marked our American system is one of the
attributes that has distinguished our country
from other systems of governmental including

We in the International Association of Ma
chinsts and the rest Of the ordinary citizens
of our country are watching now, waiting to
find out whether the United States Senate
has one brand of justice for all citizens or
whether Senatorial justice lightly excuses
those in positions of public trust for acts which
if committed by ordinary citizens would be
severely punished.
AS part of the jury of American citizens
who sat in this case, we feel that public con-
fidence in our government requires demon
stration by the Senate of the United States
