Check Case
JuiIs Woman

A Washington woman, SEN
fenced for manslaughter yes
terday, also suffered revoca-
ton of her probation in 1852
case because she did not pay
back $500 from forged Civil
War pension checks.
District Court Judge Edward
A. Tamm gave Miss Elizabeth
! Diggs, Al, of the 1900 block of
C street Sc, a 5-to-15-year
sentence for manSlaughter IN
the November 2 stabbing of
Edward w. Brent during an
argument in her home.
However, the judge first took
action in the forgery case.
According to police, Miss DiggS
and her sister, Mrs. Eiola Cum
ningham, of the C street ad-
dress, had been arrested in
1852 on charges that they con-
tinued to cash $60-a-month
Civil War pension checks sent
to their grandmother after she
died in 1888. The two women
pleaded guilty to the forgery
charge only in the amount of
5000 and were placed on proba-
ton for five years on the con-
dition that they would pay
back the money to the Govern
ment.
Yesterday the judge was
told that Miss Diggs had paid
back only about $130 of the
money and that her probation
had been extended several
times.
The judge then revoked the
probation, imposing a sentence
of one to five years in Jail to
run concurrently with the man
slaughter sentence.
In another case, Judge
nTamm gave a sentence of 5
to Is years to Ernest Mcdonald,
81. of the 100 block of Forty
sixth place NE. Mcdonald
was convicted of manslaughter

The Congressional Club,
whose members are wives
and daughters of Congress-
men, is about to bring out
its cookbook again, this time
with a new twist.
The book, a fabulous sue
cess in the past, will include
in it's forthcoming edition
some recipes from the SolonS
themSelves-a nod from the
ladies to the burgeoning
interest in male cookery.
Earlier editions of the
cookbook, which have helped
pay off the mortgage on the
clubs substantial h e a d.
quarters at POOL New Hamp-
shire ave-, contained recipes
from women only.
Former President Eisen-
hower'S beef stew recipe is
in the male" section of the
new cookbook. So, report
edly, is a recipe from former
Vice President Richard Nixon.
But no one could recall yes
terday, at a Friday meeting
of the club where the new
book came to light, just what
Mr.. Nixon had supplied.
There was some unCer-
tainty about President and
Mrs. Kennedy too. Both had
been asked to supply recipes,
although no one on the cook
book committee seemed to
think that the energetic
young President actually
spends much time over a
hot stove.
1IleIe was NdSuC I'LL
preston that a recipe for
New England clam chowder
might have been received
from the Executive Mansion,
but it wasn't clear whether
this was intended as a con-
tribution from the President
or Mrs. Kennedy.
Such a recipe. reported to
be one of the Presidents fa-
vorite dishes and therefore
one that Mrs. Kennedy has
arranged to have frozen in
