washington. THE CIVIL
RIGHTS DILEMMA - One nag
glng issue stin contributes to I'D
eral doubts about President Ken
nedys Administration. It In the
question Of civil rights and what
to do about II. -...
The issue has been with us q
long time. No one believes Il win
disappear overnight, no matter how
many laws are passed or how many
times the Supreme Court re-states
the law. But the argument between
the Administration and some lead
ers Of Americans for Democratic
Action, for example, Ii whether
new legislation win hasten the de-
sired end Of fun rights for al
Americans.
Spokesman for the Administra-
ton are opposed to q big civil
rights battle this year. They insist
that much more can be accomp-
hshed by executive action" On
the other hand, the equal rights
proponents maintain that giving
ground on this issue now win IN
evitably mean giving ground on
other parts Of the Democrats' DOM
estic program. They also say new
laws are needed to strengthen the
Justice Department In its attempts
to protect voting rights.
Before passions are too aroused
It seems to me that both positions
ought to be examined with a view
to their possible consequences.
Stripped Of technicalities what
the civil rights proponents want Ia
legislation which win provide stern
enough penalties flor violators Of
the desegregation decisions and
similar invasions Of individual
rights to deter such violations.
There ID a wide feeling that IN
Mississippi or Georgia or other
states the law-brealxers sCOff at
tho law of the land" because
they know they can cOntinue
with IMMUNITY to deny Negroes
their rights. But II they faced
stiff fines, or possible imprisOn-
ment, they might think twice.
A coroIlary argument for enact
ing new laws Is that proponents
believe they are holding the dixie
against a flood Of turn-back-the-I
clock legislation in other areas. II
Kennedy can win on civil rights,
they argue, then it win be easier to
win the minimum wage fight Ut
also involves Negroes and their
pay scalel and enact other legis-
lation.
THE EFFECTS OF ESECU-
TIVE ACTION - Against these
arguments, which the White House
keeps constantly re examining,
what happens II the Administra-
ton "arouses" the segregationists
To some strategists 1t means such
about warfare within Democratic |
Party ranks. in the Senate partic-
ularly, that nothing significant in
the way Of domestic Legislation
win be enacted.

Democrats. The Texas Senate

strength for Fight-wingers I'm |

Report
By ANNE HOIBERTON
Agricultural Extension Service
University of Delaware

Christmas is here, this season Of
traditions time of giving, time
Of family togetherness, a time of
merriment Perhaps because all
three blend so we'll in holiday
feasting, special foods top the list
of Christmas traditions around the
world Almost every country has
its holiday dishes which say Merry
Christmas anew each year.
In the United States, historically
young in terms of Christmas, holi-
day foods have been borrowed and
adopted from all over the world.
Regardless of what your favorite
Christmas menu is be sure to plan
ahead so Christmas Day can be a
day of joy and peace.
Here are a few pointers to re-
member. If you are having turkey,
rib roast of beef or any other meat
which you have kept in your deep
freeze, be sure to allow enough
time for it to defrost. 1t is true you
can cook frozen meat, but it takes
long and it also has a tendency
to be Watery because all the thaW
ing is done while it cooks. The fla
vOr isn't quite as good either. If you
thaw your meat in the refrigerator
it requires days not hours so do
check you favorite cookbook to
see how long it will take. There
are quicker ways such as thawing
the wrapped meat in a pan set
under cold running water, this will
cut the time in half or better.
If you are serving plum pudding
remember that it should be piping
hot to be at its best. Put the can
in a pan, cover with water and let
it simmer 1t can also be put in a
little water in your deep well
Milford chronicle., 1961-12-22

cooker and steam. Either way it
takes an hour or better depending
on the size of the pudding. Another
way is to cut the pudding and place
the servings. on cookie sheet,
cover with foil and put in the
oven.
Salads, many vegetables and 9TH
er trimmings can be prepared a
day or so ahead. Sweet potato cass-
erole is an excellent example of a
vegetable that can be prepared
ahead Here is a don't though.
DON'T stuff your turkey ahead. Do
this job before you put the bird in
