LET'S Trode Tricks
Mrs. r. r. H.. WashinOl

Mrs. r. r. H., Washington
This column is a real pleas
ure and source of ideas. No
doubt there are others, like
myself. who would be inter-
ested in exchanging little
tricks" in seasoning and cook
ing for preparing everyday
meals.
Most everyone has a few pet
tricks and it is so easy to get
into a rut in cooking the way
We have for years.
One Of mine is spreading
salad dressing (M--Wh--
is my favorite) over fish Just
before broiling; q little mar
garine makes it even richer.
Canned diluted onion soup is
wonderful to use in place of
liquid and sliced onion in cook
ing pot roast. Cream of celery
or cream Of chicken soup un-
diluted is nice to pour over
cut up chicken, either hroil-
ers or fryers, in place of other
liquid. Just simmer or cook in
casserole covered for about an
hour. A little butter adds
flavor to any chicken.
Let's have your tricks.

Regarding the request of
M. L. H. of Wheaton. may I
offer the following:
After having a solid color
rug (blue) for 10 years, ! re-
Gently purchased a multicol-
ored patterned rug. I am truly
amazed at the difference it
makes in my home. ! could
vacuum the old rug in the
morning and find that I had to
vacuum it again in the evening
If ] had any guests coming.
Every piece of lint or dust
seemed to shout at me from
that rug.
When I put the new one
down I was so pleased to see it
still looked clean at the end
Of the day AS a trial, I went
three days without vacuuming
it and, at the end of that time,
it still looked better than the
old one did after "a hours. My
only complaint is that the pat
tern makes my room appear
smaller.
I neglected to mention that
the rug I have now is second
hand. I wanted a hard back
rug. but did not want to spend
a great deal of money for it,
and think this will give me sat-
isfactory service until my chill
dren are old enough to take
pride in their home. I am a
firm believer in letting chill
dren enjoy their home, with
out being warned constantly
to be careful, don't touch, etc.
If cookie crumbs get tram
pied into this rug, or milk is
spilled on it. it will not bother
me nearly as much as if I had
an expensive pretty carpet on
the floor.

My girls favorite bedtime
prayer is this:

Now for my own request:
What have those of you who
have basementless houses don,
to combat mildew and excess
sive moisture that seems to
come up from the ground?
Our house is not built on a
cement slab, but the floor
stands about two feet above
the ground. We plan to get a
dehumidif1er next year, but
what can I do until then? Can
! get the musty smell out of
my mattresses, etc.? I've tried
summing them for a day. but
that didn't help much.

Senator Saltonstall. Republic
can of Massachusetts, today
challenged as extreme and ex-
cessive" a charge by Senator
Kefauver, Democrat of Tennes-
see, that President Eisenhower
is letting the United States fall
behind Russia in aerial and
missile power.
Senator Kefauver, a member
Of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, said in campaign
speech in Rochester, N. H., last
night that Russia now is pro-
ducing a "Supersonic bomber"
which he claimed can "out-run
the fighters now available"
I'VE have no such bomber
even on the drawing board as
far as I am aware" Senator
Kefauver said in winding up a
flve-day drive for Democratic
presidential nominating dele
gates.
He asserted also that Mr.. Eli
senhower has made no decision
in dispute he said has ragged

whether. as he put it. to "go
about in attempting to build
a true intercontinental missile

atty of five years in prison and
a $4,000 fine on each of the
three counts in the indictment.
Never Beaten in Race
Mr.. Lane. who has never been
defeated in a political campaign
was elected to Congress in 1941
succeeding Lawrence J. Connery
of Lynn. Previously he had
served as State Representative
from 1927 to 1889 and as State
Senator from 1899 to 1941.
He was graduated from Law
renee High School in 1916. He
entered Boston College at the
outbreak of World War I and
was enrolled in the Officers
Training Corps when the wal
ended.
While working as a city Of
Lawrence employee. he attended
Suffolk Law School, receiving his
degree in 1925. He passed the
Massachusetts, bar that year and
Immediately opened his own law
office in Lawrence.
Now finishing his eighth term
in Congress, he was first elected
to the 77th Congress at a spe-
cial election on December 80
1941. to fill Mr.. Connery's I'M
expired term. Thereafter he
was seven times reelected.

Representative Lane
Indicted as Tax Evoder

BOSTON, Mar. 6 (PJ.-Repre-
sentative Thomas j. Lane, DEM
ocrat of Massachusetts,, today
was under indictment on charges
of "willful evasion" of S38,542
in Federal income taxes for the
three-year period of 1949-l95l.
Justice Department officials
said the alleged tax evasion
stemmed from Mr.. Lanes private
law practice in his home city OF
Lawrence.
The three-count indictment
charged Mr.. Lane knowingly
and willfully attempted to evade
and defeat a large part of the
income tax due and owed by him
and his wife to the United States
OF America by filing false and
fraudulent joint income tax re-
turns on behalf of himself and
his wife"
Mrs. Lane is not involved in
the court proceedings.
Panel Sits Three Days
A 23-man Federal grand jury
returned the indictment against
the 57-year-old Mr.. Lane yes
terday after hearing evidence
presented over a three-day
period by United States Attorney
Anthony Julian and three
assistants.
BY agreement today between
MI. Julian and Mr.. Lanes
counsel, C.. Keefe Hurley. the
Congressman will be arraigned
IN United States District Court
next Tuesday at 10 am.
Mr.. Lanes office in Washing
ton said last night he would have
no comment on the indictment,
The indictment charged that
Mr.. Lane reported a net income
for 1949 of $14,311 on which he
paid an income tax of S2,673,
whereas his actual income was
$57, 497, on which he should have
paid a tax of $2l ,206.
In 1850. the indictment said,
Mr.. Lane reported net income of
$20.991 and paid tax of $4,708.
whereas his income was $43,l98
on which his tax payment should
have been $14,199.
The indictment charged fur
ther that Mr.. Lane reported a
1851 income of $30,956 on which
he paid $9.515, whereas his in
come was $50.470 on which a tax
of $20,039 should have been paid.

New Bricker Amendment
Presented to Eisenhower

posal even If Mr.. Eisenhower
opposes it.
Senator Hennings, Democrat
Iof Missouri. who voted against
the proposal in committee, said
nobody knows just what the
amendment would do. He said,
however, it will be certain to
raise grave constitutional prob
lens"
Calling the wording "decep-
lively innocent" Senator Hen
Inings said he feels the language
might be interpreted in such
a way as to tie the hands of
the President in his conduct of
our national defense and foreign
relations"

BY the Associated Press

Senator Knowland, Republic
can of California. sought Presi-
dent Eisenhower's reaction today
to a new and abbreviated ver-
sion of the Bricker amendment
approved yesterday by the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee.
AS approved by the judiciary
group. the suggested amend
ment would add to the ConStitu-
ton these words:
"a provision of a treaty or
other international agreement
which conflicts with any pro-
vision of this Constitution shall
not be of any force or effect"
Additional wordage would add
a noncontroversial provision for
rollcall Senate votes in ratifying
treaties.
Opposed Early Version
Mr.. Eisenhower has opposed
previous versions of the proposed
amendment on the ground that
they would infringe on the
treaty making powers. Treaties,
negotiated by the President, take
effect only upon Senate ratifica-
ton by two-thirds majority.
One version of the proposed
amendment fell just short of the
necessary two-thirdS vote in the
Senate February 26, 1854. The
roll call then was 81 for adop-
ton, 81 against.
Senator DirkSen, Republican
of Illinois, sponsored yesterdays

public hearing and to be re-
turned If he could not work
out q deal with the union.
The union had not been con-
suited even later when Mr.. Ty-
dings sent to the chairman Of
the House and Senate Dis.
trict Committees a new plan"
saying his group Should .
have a f1ve-year labor con-
tract"
Union officials pointed out
that their constitution forbids
contracts longer than three
years.
Also Mr.. Tydings suggested
an item which the union
thought was worse than one 1t
has now-specifically a ban on
arbitration Of wages, pensions
and payment Of insurance.
On that issue, Mr.. Tydings'
stand was no more attractive
to the union than that Of Louis
E. Wolfson. controlling stock
holder Of C. T. C.
With the labor problem un-
resolved. there was general
uncertainty about the purpose
of Mr.. Tydings' last spectacu-
lar approaches to the Commits
sioners and to the Congress.
And, as Engineer Commits
sioner Thomas A. Lane told
the Senate District Commit
tee last week, 1t seemed doubt
full that labor difficulties were
the only reason the Tydings
group did not go through with
the public hearing on its ap-
plication.
Alternative speculation. con-
sequently, suggested consider
alton of Maryland politics. Mr..
Tydings was knocked out Of
the Senate six years ago by
Senator John Marshall Butler,
his Republican opponent. SEN
ator Butler comes up for re-
election this year.
And, If Mr.. Tydings wants q
return engagement with the
Republican who defeated him
in 1850, he has until February
% to file.
Thus, observers speculate.
could it be that Mr.. Tydings
hopes to dive into the cam
paign of the springboard Of
publicity garnered in the
Washington transit mess?

And, union officials said, Mr..
Tydings was only one Of six

They weren't ready to nego-

Mr.. Tydings, though. in

ting underway. there was a
story going around about a
three-way pact among Mayor
D'Alesandro, Mr.. Mahoney and
State Controller ]. Willard
Tawes, king Of Eastern Shore
democrats.
Mr.. Mahoney was to be sup
ported for the senatorial
nomination In the forthcom-
ing May z primary. Mr.. Tawes
was to receive the slice Of pie
labeled: Governor in 1885,"
And the Mayor was to join Mr..
Mahoney in the United STATES
Senate after the 1858 election.
All three men eventually
denied that they had entered
into any such agreement tall
though two Of them admitted
they had talked about it,, but
the Mayors action of last
week has revived speculation
about 1t.
Later last fall. after the
Mayor had let up a few trial
balloons about his possible
candidacy for the nomination
against Mr.. Mahoney, I re-
ported in this column that
some persons felt the Mayor
merely was trying to scare OF
other major contenders. par
ticularly Philip B. Perlman.
Having thus cleared the field.
the Mayor could then step out
Of the race he never actually
entered and Mr.. Mahoney
could run for q touchdown.
Although Mayor D'Alesan-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-02-05

dro himself never commented
about this theory. some Of his
friends claimed there was no
truth to it and advised me
that they were offended by my
reporting 1t.
But whatever degree Of pre-
meditation there was In the
Mayors action, its effect has
been to scare OF Mr.. Perlman
and some other men Of stature
who had considered running.
At this date. the practical po-
liticians seem to feel that 1t
is too late to line up the pro-
fessional and financial support
that would be needed to wage a
successful campaign against
the wealthy and energetic Mr..
Mahoney.
In the probing for motives
behind the Mayors with
drawal, there has developed a
new theory that he and Mr..
Mahoney have baked them
selves q brand-new pie which
they intend to slice only two
ways instead Of three.
Cutting out Mr.. Tawes would
have the advantage Of allowing
the Mayor to run for Governor.

patronage than Senator.
There remains the question. Of
course. Of what one does with
Mr.. Tawes. who is very am
bilious about becoming Gov

Jack Witten of Tazewell.
Harrisonburg Delegate Law
renee Hoover. like Mr.. Pope.
has sought a sales tax for many
years. He said the admin
istration bill admittedly is a
one-shot plan-that Is, can be
used only one time to get two
payments in the same fiscal
year. He said the bill is de-
signed to stall of a general
sales tax.
DR.. Witten predicted a sales
tax in two to four years.
Sales tax sentiment has been
building UP among lawmakers
for several years and Is
stronger now than ever.
There seems to be a growing
awareness here that the speed
UP plan is going to be hard to
explain to voters next year.
The amazing lack of public
interest in the tax acceleration
plan is reflected by the few
letters received from the folks
back home.
But when two State and the
Federal income tax bills fall
due in a five-month period
at a time when election cam
paigns begin-the voters are
likely to wake UP TO what hit
them. some legislators fear.
