Giving recipes, I must warn
everybody. is a dangerous
business unless you are sure
of your facts. Otherwise. you
may influence people and lose
friends.
What drove me to caution
in the matter was an occasion
years ago when I encountered
a delicious rice pudding at
Jack Dempsey's restaurant in
New York. After a Dempsey
conducted tour of the place,
kitchen and all, followed by
an enjoyable bout of eating
my way through the menu, I
extracted the recipe for the
unusually toothsome pudding
from Dempsey's chef. And

passed the word along. Some
how, in some sort of transpo-
sition-either mental or in my
notes-I carefully instructed
my listeners to add a half
cup of milk to four cups OF
rice!
That recipe shook my i'm

anxious listeners for miles
around who urged me to cor
rect my mistake lest be fired.

cial delivery letters-later. too,
some rather bitter communica-
tions from beginner-cooks
whose kitchens, they claimed,
were a foot deep in semi
cooked rice.
So, every spoonful carefully
checked, here it is, MY Favor
ite Recipe, and it's easy!
Pour a custard mixture Of
one beaten egg, one-half cup
of sugar and two cups of milk
in a double boiler. Add one
tablespoon of gelatine softened
in one-fourth cup of cold wa
ter. Cook until the mixture
coats the spoon, stirring a good
deal. When the custard is cool
and begins to set. add one
pint of cream which has been
whipped and favored with one
teaspoon. of vanilla or almond
extract. Line a brown crock
my mothers crock was always
brown-with slices of sponge
cake and pour the custard in
the center. Put in the refrig-
orator for an hour or longer
and then eat with zest.
That, I hope, winds up my
recipe-giving until my own
cookbook comes out next fall,

cooking in America from that

masterpieces produced by chefs

formation of that kind to prove
his inability to grant a wage in
crease. The case originated in
North Carolina. where the Truitt
Manufacturing Co. refused to
disclose certain financial data to
the AFL Iron Workers Union.
The issue has attracted con-
siderable attention because the
United States Court of Appeals
in New York held In another case
that such records must be pro-
vided to justify an employers
claim.
The high court today also
agreed to review two other ap-
peals of more than ordinary
public interest. One was the ap-
peal of Steve Nelson. Western

conviction and f1ve-year prison
sentence on charges of violating
the Smith Act by advocating vio-
lent overthrow Of the Govern

other case on which the Supreme
Court recently heard arguments
but has not yet decided. This
case involves the question
whether Nelson could be con-
victed in a State court on a sedi-
ton charge or whether sedition
is a crime which can be prose-
cuted only in Federal courts.

BY ROBERT X. WALSH

Splitting on party lines, q
House Judiciary subcommittee
investigating Government aides
who work without compensation
viewed the Commerce Depart
ment's Business Advisory Council
today as an exclusive business
mems club" or as self sacrificing
specialists serving their country
The subcommittee headed by
Representative Celler, Democrat
of New York, recessed q series OF
hearings on the woo" problem
last Friday. 1t heard Assistant
Attorney General Stanley N
Barnes caution against any
blanket order for disclosure OF
detailed business tie-ups and pri-
vate financial connections OF
some 10000 unpaid volunteer
advisers for the Government.
The 68-page interim report
today, including majority and
minority statements as well as
additional comments by Mr.. Gel
Ter. dealt only with BAG. 1t was
based on hearings highlighted
last August by refusal Of Secre-
tary Of Commerce Weeks to pro-
duce records Of BAG meetings
and recommendations.

"the necessity of maintaining
avenues by which responsible
Government officials may secure

effectively discharge their ad.
ministrative responsibilities"
But those members declared
that the BAG, as established
some 20 years ago and especially
as "perpetuated" today in the
Commerce Department, has pro.
duced "a difficult and delicate
problem in public administra.
tion."
THE council" they charged

did not recommend abolition OF
