Party Choice
|Of Candidate

Senator Knowland Of Califor-
mia. Republican. leader Of the
Senate and a potential candi-
date for the 1866 q. o. P. presi-
dental nomination. said today
The believed that Elm the event
President Eisenhower is not q
candidate" the Republicans
should have a free choice In the
selection Of their nominee.
The California Senator said
the President himself would
necessarily have to decide
whether he would be q candi-
date for q second term.
'But II the President does not
run" Senator Knowland said.
l"the constitutional and electoral
processes of this country would
be better served by having the
Republicans able to make a
choice In State conventions and
primaries and finally In the ma
tional convention, Instead Of
having any designated successor
to run In place Of the Presi-
dent"
There has been talk in some
quarters that Mr.. Eisenhower, il
he does not run himself, will
undertake to use his influence to
name the 1856 presidential can
didate.
I'm this day and age" con-
tinued Senator Knowland. when
democracy Is in q measure on
trial, the American people have
10 right to demonstrate then
normal electoral processes e
select presidential candidates. /"
Senator Knowiand expressed
an opinion that the Republicans
can win with President Eisen-
hover as q candidate or with
any candidate likely to be Sc
lected as the party's nominee.
"If the President should de-
eide not to run. ] believe Mr.
Eisenhower would recognize the
Importance Of giving the voters
q chance to make their judy
ment among the possible and
potential candidates for the
nomination. Therefore ! think
that an early decision by the
President Is indicated.
IAN Americans wish for the
President an early and complete
recovery and ! certainly join in
that WISH"
Senator KnowIand. who came
to Washington to address q
luncheon meeting Of business

today. would not comment on
his own future political plans
nor predict who would have the
support Of the California dele
cation at the 1855 Republican
National Convention.
So far as the California Situ-
alton Is concerned. Senator
|Knowland said that the Repub-
Ilican voters there would deter
mine themselves whom to sup

FOOD MARKET
REPORT GIVEN
Information Given on "Best
Buys" in Delaware Food
Stores This Week
USE OF CITRUS FRUIT

Fresh Fruits: Citrus is the
outstanding best buy" in Della
ware food stores this week. Win
ter appetites, weary of the heav-
ier foods required by cold wealth
er, can be given a real lift with
fresh, fiavorful oranges and grape
fruit. Each fruit is a storehouse
of yitamin c which is so import
ant in maintaining good health
during the winter. Since the body
cannot store much vitamin C, a
regular use of citrus in the diet
is almost essential.
Quality of citrus is especially
good, and prices are quite rea-
sonable. Select firm fruit with a
fine textured skin. Those heavy
for their size have the best juice
content. Florida oranges provide
the most juice for the money and
California and Temple variety
oranges are better for eating out
of hand. Tangerines are available
for only few months each year
so it is important to take advant-
age of them before the current
period of peak supply is over.
Small sizes are relatively most
plentiful and most economical.
Canned and frozen citrus fruit
and juice are likewise at season.

Fresh Vegetables: Heavy sup

Smyrna times., 1955-01-20

these vegetables in Delaware food
stores this week: carrots, peppers,
white potatoes, radishes, rutabeg-
as, eggplant, spinach, and old
crop cabbage. Cold weather in
southern producing areas has re-
duced supplies of tender crops and
prices will be higher for a few
weeks. Only moderate prices and
supplies prevail for broccoli, caul-
flower, celery and lettuce this
week.
Meats and Poultry: Careful
shopping for meat will be re-
warded by genuine economy to be
found in certain high quality, low
priced cuts including chuck roasts.
shank ends OF ham (which offer
more edible meat per dollar than
the butt end), pork loins and
shoulders, and lamb roasts. Tur-
keys and stewing chickens pre-
sent the best poultry values.
Seafood: Rough weather has
reduced supplies of some fresh
fish but whiting, haddock and
porgies are still inexpensive. Fish
sticks are generally lower in price
and provide an economical and
very convenient seafood dish.
Frozen swordfsh, halibut and cod
are attractive values.
Eggs: This abundant food is
one of the least expensive highly
nutritious protein foods available
in this weeks retail food markets.
