However, II it was used for
salads or dressing. this might
not be a disadvantage in

easier to handle. Cream

for freezing.
Directions: Cut cheese in
pieces no larger than one
pound size or use packaged
cheese weighing no more than
q pound. Small-size cheeses
can be left in their original
package. wrap any cut
cheese closely in freezer foil.
Press foil tight with the hands
to keep out air. Freeze at
zero F. or lower. Rapid freez-
ing is stressed. The theory
is that the large crystals Of
ice that form in the cheese
during slow freezing break up
the curd and thus change the
texture.

The subcommittee finally con-
cluded that the laws. as inter-

ance" in favor of the accused

committee then drafted series
of amendments to the District
code to give the public as much
protection as the accused where
insanity Is claimed as the de-
fense.

Outing Is the Dream
Of Hoskins Children

There is no use closing the
doors at the Haskins' home.
The mosquitoes will just come
through one Of the broken win
doWs anyway.
Besides, with the doors open,
Mr. Haskins can keep a better
eye on the seven children to see
that they didn't roam of the
front porch into the path of a
truck. The front steps are only
g feet from a busy truck
route over which hundreds of
tractor-trailer trucks travel
every day.
The children like to spend as
much time out of doors as they
can. In the summer, the house
is hot and musty. in the winter
it is cold and dark. There are
only three lights in the six-room
house and only one of them is
upstairs in the bedrooms.
No Screens
In the evening. the family sits
in the living room with the lights
out so they can get the cool night
breezes without attracting the
flies and mosquitoes. There are
no screens on the windows or
doors. There is no use putting
the children to bed too early.
The noise of the trucks roaring
past will keep them awake.
Things are a little brighter
around the house, however, since

Senator Stennis, Democrat. Of

Meanwhile. the District Com
missioners and their top fiscal
advisers slated a joint meeting
for this afternoon with members
of the Fiscal Affairs Subcom-
mittees Of the House and Senate
District Committees.
The meetings. postponed from
yesterday. was to bring the law
makers up To date on the Dis
trict's search for additional
revenue to help meet spiraling
costs and wage increases ex-
pected to be voted by this ses-
sion Of Congress.
Slight Gain Seen
The same program was pre-
sented last week to leaders Of
the House District Committee.
The only change to be reported,
according to General Admins
tration Director Schuyler Lowe.
is what looks like a slight gain
in revenue on the basis OF tax
returns filed in May.
Last week. he said, on the
basis of early returns from the
newly increased income tax
rates, District officials told the
lawmakers they were expecting
about 81 million more in revenue
for the next fiscal year than the
$115 million formally estimated
on April II by the Federal
Budget Bureau.
Now, he said. May figures have
raised this expectation by an
other $500. 900 to 81 million.
Next Thursday, when the Dis
trict officials go before the SEN
ate Appropriations Subcommit-
tee. they are expected to urge
the grant Of the full, author
lied $40 million Federal pay
ment and restoration of at least
most of the cuts in spending
approved by the House.
The House. in chopping down
on the spending program, Topped
81 million from the Federal
share Of costs.
Cut Spending
The commissioners originally
had asked for a budget of $l75.4
million. The House cut this
back, to $166.9, while reducing
the spending program by about
$8.5 million.
Whereas the report of the
Ranaut subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee said its revision Of the bill
would mean a surplus of $1.3
million in the general fund, re-
calculations OF its actions showed
the bill would leave a deficit
of about S675,000.
