from the locker room at Burn

fuSal to confront Senator NC
Carthy and slug it out.
He has taken advice and he
is the only one who knows
whether he believes it has or
has not a political tinge. He
will in any case be judged by
the results.
The Supreme Court decision
on segregation brings the eco
nomic and social revolution Of
the New Deal full circle. It has
long been apparent that the
country has had enough Of
new ideas, Federal1y conceived
and executed. Change and ex-
panSion now must come
through the courts and the
Appropriations Committees of
the Congress.
The politicians most hurt by
the decision are those South
erners who bolted to Eisen-
hover since his Chief Justice,
former Gov. Warren, read the
decision. Jokes at their ex-
pense were rife.
Generally, however, the
purely political effects will be
felt by individuals rather than
by parties. The Southerner
can belabor Chief Justice
Warren. The Northerner can
point out that Roosevelt and
Truman appointed eight of the

s. Million Are Idle,
AFL Council Says
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, May 1S.-The AFL
Executive Council says there are
more than 51a million workers
unemployed and "the figure is
growing and will continue to
grow if something isn't done to
stem the recession immediately"
Predicting "a continuing trend
of unemployment" the council
asked that the Eisenhower ad-
ministration take it's head out
of the sand, recognize the seri-
GUS problem, and do something
about it."
The figure on unemployment
was made in a statement by the
council, the AFL's policy-making
group. which is holding its spring
conference here.
Government figures on the
number of unemployed total
about 312 million.

What Kind Of People Are We?
Senator Edwin Johnsons Question Gains Force in Light
Of Apparent Tendency to Get Into ndo-Chno War
Lowell MeNett-

If King George III. where
ever his spirit may be. still
takes an interest in mundane
matters. he may be telling
himself that the sins of the
fathers are being visited upon
this generation. He would be
thinking of the founding
fathers of this American Re-
public. For it was they who
gave to the world the concept
of free democratic govern
ment and set up a Nation
whose example was to spread
that concept all around the
globe. That would be their
sin, as seen by King George,
although we have always seen
it as something quite different.
Compromising the sin-or vir-
tue-the founding fathers de-
clared it was not only the
right but the duty Of any peo-
pie suffering beneath a des-
potisrn to overthrow their
government and set up some
thing better. Whereby we
more or less invented the
democratic revolution and
we've always been proud of
that.
Down through the years,
until recently. we have given
our sympathy and sometimes
our material aid to any people
forced to fight for their revo-
lutionary rights or to defend
such rights once obtained.
In our own time we have sent
our sons across the seas to
help beat back the threat of
modern despotism. In Europe,
at our own great sacrifice. we
assisted in the destruction,
first, of German imperialism

whether every one of the

Here the game is plain to

China without first consulting
Great Britain - which, of

serves to muddy the waters

now, at considerable cost, doing
our full part to prevent the
advance Of aggressive commu-
niSm. In Asia we have followed
the same course in the case of
Korea.
But somewhere, while writ
ing this admirable record in
our own blood, we have al
lowed our revolutionary vision
to become obscured. Obsessed
with the evil of the day, now
in the form of communism, we
have forgotten the right and
duty Of people everywhere to
throw of their oppressors. We
have forgotten it wherever the
Communists, for reasons Of
their own, have moved in to
assert it. So we could not see
what was happening in China
as a revolt Of the Chinese. We
could only see the shadow of
Russia. Fighting that shadow
we lost any opportunity there
may have been to bring the
new China into the society of
free nations. And now we seem
on the verge of repeating this
error in Indo-China.
No country has had a greater
revolutionary right than Indo-
China. Her wrongs have been
many, for France has not been
an enlightened colonial power.
France has been unable to
see that colonialism itself is
doomed and to bow gracefully
to that fact, as the British
have done in other Asian coun-
tries. So now France is giving
up ndo-China the hard way.

teresting reading, and is anus
ing, it is scarcely a book Mrs.
Homemaker would find very
practical.
Miss Toklas, for years COM
panion to Gertrude Stein, goes
to great lengths to describe
the French cuisine. She talks
lovingly Of the food she has
enjoyed since she left her ma
tive California In 1908 and
took up residence In France.
The recipes taken from her
personal collection. are for the
most part French. OF course.
From the American viewpoint.
most of them would be too
time consuming and imprac-
tical.
To prepare q leg of mutton.
for instance. you must start 8
days In advance. First it's
rnarinated in a mixture OF
wine. oil (which must be viz
gin olive oil. and a variety Of
condiments, Each day you

contents into the leg OF NUT

ready to be roasted. ''perfunned
with the condiments and
spices, completely permeated
by the various f1avors, 1t has

strange and exquisite venison,
But to make the sauce, you
need to run out and snare a
hare /. the recipe calls for
2 tablespoons of the blood Of a
hare added just before serv-
ing. Not our dish of tea.
Another recipe, also dealing
with a leg of mutton, calls for
a lengthy list of vegetables
and seasonings which are
cooked, cooled and strained.
The resulting sauce is used for
basting. The leg Of mutton IS

Some of them she remembers
quite clearly, the memory OF
others is vague, even some who
were quite satisfactory and
stayed a long time.
Her trials and tribulations
as a gardener at Bilignin will
anuse and enlighten any one
who has had similar expert
ences. One of the better chap
tiers, we thought. Miss Toklas
tells scores Of first-hand anec-
dotes about such world famous
personages as Picasso, Hem

For the friend who makes
q hobby Of collecting cook
books this would be a well

son than to read the narrative
