tor charged Delegate Thomson
with seeking to reverse the
truth" on a number Of issues In
1.-THE primary campaign.
The original bill introduced
by Mr.. Thomson authorizing an
investigation Of groups seeking
to influence public opinion would
have subjected civic groups, fra
ternal organizations, churches
and other groups to inquiries,
said Senator Boothe.
1.-THE truth is that Thomson is
so ashamed of his own brainchild
that he has now denied its legis-
lative parenthood and in an ad
in the Alexandria Gazette on
Friday, June %, he called it boz
gus. You must read the bill
to believe it. AS Albert Smoot
said, no such bill has ever been
introduced into the Virginia Leg
stature since it first met in
jamestown in 1919" Senator
Boothe declared.
Alteration Adopted
The bill as finally adopted au-
thorized q less sweeping investi-
cation Of groups specifically seek
ing to promote or influence racial
litigation.
Senator Boothe branded Dele
gate Thompson 1.-THE machine
candidate" who "is backed by a
tightly organized, financially
powerful group Of men, many of
whom neither live in Alexandria
nor vote here"
He said MIR. Thomson has tried
ito turn the white light OF public
interest away from these shadows
behind him" by calling Mr.. Smoot
the "stooge Of q clique"
Senator Boothe also UNDER
took to answer criticism Of Mr..
Smoot over sewer service
charges. Mr.. Smoot formerly was
chairman Of the Alexandria
Sanitation Authority.
Claims savings
Senator Boothe said Mr.. Smoot
and the authority had saved
Alexandra 81 million in con-
struction costs by arranging q
Joint construction program with
Fairfax County for the new dis
posal plant, and also saved from
el0, 900 to SIS, 900 more each year
by getting the Alexandria Water
Co. to collect the new charges.
1.-THE truth is that by wise
building and operation Of the
sanitation Authority, Albert
Smoot has saved us money. 1t is
not the truth that he has cost
us money or that the water COM
pany is getting the money OF
that there is q tax on water or
that the charges will increase or
that the matter needs Investigate
ling" said Senator Boothe. 1.-THE
truth is that Thomson has an
Investigating complex"

Boothe Hits Thomson
Vote as Tax Threat

into his fellow legislator Delegate James Thomson IT,
supporting Gov Stanleys fund CUTOFF bill that

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-04

uBhlIlSC MI. 1LOmSOu, Cne Alex
andria senator called the fund
CUTOFF bill "the assassination Of
local rights" and charged that
Delegate Thomson was not vot-
ing for the citizens Of Alexandra
when he gave the legislation his
support.
Mr.. Thomson and Mr.. Smoot
are opposing candidates for the
Democratic nomination to Alex
andria's seat in the House of
Delegates in Tuesdays primary.
The principal campaign issue
has been school segregation, with
Mr.. Thomson indorsing Gov.
Stanley'S massive resistance
program and Mr.. Smoot urging
a local pupil placement plan.
The fund CUTOFF legislation,
adopted last September, auto
matically withholds State school
funds from any school system
where integration occurs.
Quotes Summation
Senator Boothe said the effect
of the fund cutoff was best
summed up by Delegate Lindsay
Moore Of Pittsylvania County
during hearings on the contro-
versial bill. He quoted Mr.. Moore
as saying:
1--WE are not going to have
public schools in Pittsylvania If
q court orders even one colored
child into our schools. And we
are not going to let you have
them"
Senator Boothe said Gin other
words, we Alexandrians are to
be deprived Of the use Of our
schools, Of the taxes we have
paid, regardless Of our wishes or
our desires and regardless of
whether we would like to try to
solve our own problems our own
way. Thomson may have
voted for Pittsylvania but he did
not vote for Alexandria when he
posted the green light for the
fund cut-off bill. The truth is
that Albert Smoot will join the
growing ranks Of lawmakers who
will vote to prevent the repas-
sage Of such q bill"
Sees 100000 Loss
He said Alexandria stands to
lose about $680,OO0 annually In
State school funds under the
fund cut-off bill.
ut is the equivalent to an in
crease Of so cents in our real es-
tate tax rate. This means that
II we in Alexandria are deter
mined to keep our public schools
open without State aid we shall
have to dig UP $3.50, 900 once q
year. every year, to do the job.
And we can thank Albert
Shoots opponent for this adj
ditional back-breaking, unnec-
essary and unjust tax" said
Senator Boothe.

Can't Afford Not To
Seed Cover Crops

Delaware farmers can't afford
not to seed cover crops after har-
vest this fall, says George yapaa,
county agricultural agent.
Especially after a drought sea-
son like this summer, the need for
cover crops is emphazide. Cover
crops prevent soil loss by wind
and ,water-and cover crops save
water. A green crop growing on
a field over winter will go a long
way in saving fertile top soil from
being blown or washed away. And
cover crops tend to hold water so
it sOaks into soil. When the COW
er crop is turned under it decays
into humus that acts like a sponge
to hold water.
Cover crops also keep soil in
good condition by supplying organ
ic matter that keeps soil granular
and easy to work, the agent says.
In addition, cover crops fertilize
the soil. A legume cover crop al
lowed to reach a height of eight
to ten inches in spring before
plowing under will add about 80
pounds Of nitrogen per acre. This
will mean a fertilizer saving of
about $12 an acre, two to three
times the usual cost of cover crop
seed.
Cover crops save leftover fer
tiliZer that would on bare ground
be washed away in drainage water
after a rain. A cover crop will use
this leftover fertilizer and make
the fertilizer available for the next
spring planting.
Anything that will grow and
make a green cover on the soil
over winter is a good cover crop
Crimson clover is good and should
be seeded at 20 to 25 pounds per
acre. When used with ryegrass
the rate per acre should be IL to
Is pounds of crimson clover and
10 to Is pounds per acre. Vetch is
a good legume cover crop and is
usually seeded in combination with
rye. The rate per acre is about Is
pounds of vetch and five pecks of
rye.
Wheat, barley and winter oats
are good cover crops and are often
used when the farmer has his own
seed, Vapaa says. Seeding should
be one and one-half to two times
that generally used for grain seed
ings. One advantage of grains as
cover crops is that they may also
be used for late fall and early
spring pasture.
The agent recommends seeding
cover crops right after truck and
canning crops have been harvest
ed. One of the most popular seed
ing devices today is the tractor
mounted rotary seeder.

that cooking utensils must be deli

Her recipes range from the most
elaborate dishes to bread soup

with a spoon until smooth. She
notes this is a "cheap recipe, and
will be found useful where extreme
economy is an object"

Mrs. BeetOn Set Pace
For TOday's COOkbOOks
by EdgerwOOd Sloan
AP NeWSfeatureS


THE FORERUNNER of tody's
cookery and homemaking books
was compiled by an Englishwoman
less than a century ago.
1t is Mrs. Beetoh's Book on
Hou old Management" little
known in America, frequently re-
vised but never out of print since
1862.
In it, Mrs. Beeton blazes the way
in instructing brides how to assume
the duties of wife, mother and
household manager.
Her first volume contains some
1000 recipes and 1000 engravings.
The latter aren't the mOuth-water-
ing displays seen in modern peri
Odicals. For instance, fowl are
shown on platters, feet intact and
claws dropping. A calf's head has
a belligerent look.
"WhO has not eaten calf's head
au natural, simply boiled with the
skin on, it's favour heightened by
sauce just a little sharp" writes
the author.
Mrs. BeetOn's sound advice to the
housewife includes:
early rising is essential &.
if the mistress remain abed until
a late hour, then the domestics . :.
will invariably become sluggards ..
''Frugality and economy are home
virtues without which "a household
cannot prosper .
"Eschew a gossiping acquaint-
ITO be a good housewife does
not necessarily imply an abandon
ment of proper pleasure or amusing
recreation
She adds that the mistress should
purchase all provisions. inspect
all room for cleanliness each morn
ing, devote some time to the in
struction of youngsters and mend
and sew until luncheon. Then calls
may be made.
Mrs. Beeton was born Isabella
Mary Mayson ln London in 1886.
She attended finishing school in
Heidelburg and became a talented
pianist.
After her engagement to young
publisher. Samuel Orchart BeetOn,
she set out to learn about house
hold management. She became ex-
asperated that 'no good book for
brides" existed.
They were married in 1855. She
quickly learned her husbands
