Red Velvet
Cake Is A
Sensation

~~@@S~NAeN~NA
the new Red Velvet Cake. So
we have set to work collecting
all the variations and have at
last perfected a sensational
cake. This cake promises to be
as popular as the famous Ger
man chocolate cake because it is
to beautiful and so easy to
make.
VELVET COLOR
The cake is just what the
name implies. It has a deep rich
red color just like red velvet.
The icing is creamy white and
when the cake is sliced it is
unlike any cake you've ever
made. When you serve it, it is
certain to be a conversation
piece.
While the cake is excellent
served alone, we think its color
and flavor go well with some Of
the wonderfully good fresh
summer fruits. In your friendly
supermarket you'll find peaches,
apricots, pineapples, bananas,
blueberries, melons for making
into balls, and many other
fruits. Why not serve Red Vel
vet Cake with fruit to top off
q simple summer supper.
FREE FOLDER
No one can live on desserts
alone so perhaps you'll enjoy
our new meat folder, "How To
Cook Meat and Keep Cool" It's
full of tips on ways to cook
meat for several meals while
you play or at least are out of
the kitchen. The folder is free.

Starting Points

He said there were many pos
Sibilities" but declined to explore
them at this time. Mr.. Kennedy.
however, had suggested these two
possible starting points for ne
gotiations:
/. The West might be willing.
in return for an overall treaty
that guaranteed the security Of
West Berlin, to remove any actual
irritants" in that city.
This might mean forbidding dis
semination of propaganda and re-
duction of armed forces. It proba-
bly, does not include ending the
city's refugee camps, long a thorn
in the side of the East Germans.
2. The West is ready to as
suage the Soviet Unions "his-
torical concerns about their Sc
curity in Central and Eastern
Europe. We believe arrange
ments can be worked out which
will help to meet those concerns.
and make it possible for both
security and freedom to exist in
this troubled area"
This might include recognition
Of the Oder-Neisse line as Ger
many's eastern border, thus cas-
ing tension in Poland, as well as
some sort of de-militarized zone
under United Nations control.
Evening star., 1961-07-30
To the u. NJ?

Some saw the statement as a
hint the West, as in 1859, may be
planning to call peace confer
ence of its own to beat the Rus
slams to the punch. Others, how
ever, read it as a sign the West
may take the Berlin problem to
the United Nations in the fall.
This latter view was probably
more accurate, since it was re-
inforced by remarks by Secretary
Rusk and Chester Bowles on sun
day, that the U. N. may be asked
to consider Berlin.
1T was recalled, too, that the
then Senator Kennedy said in
1860 that, 1--WE should explore
how the moral authority of the
U.N. could be used to strengthen
the security presently provided
to the people Of West Berlin."]
At his press conference Thurs
day, Mr.. Rusk refused to elabo-
rate on the Vests diplomatic
posture" )" but he did promise that
the Western foreign ministers
conference set for August 5-8,
would consider various initiative"
plans with which to confront
the Soviet Union.

Tuxes

The Presidents preparedness
move raised the defense budget to
whopping $47.5 billion, an in
crease of So billion over the amount
recommended for this fiscal year
by Mr.. Eisenhower.
With it went aglimmering any
hope for tax reduction next year.
1t was only at the last minute that
President Kennedy decided not to
ask for a rise in taxes to offset
some of the additional defense
spending.
Having just piled UP a deficit.
of $3.9 billion in the recently
ended fiscal year and facing a red
ink total of more than SIS billion
this year, there was considerable
pressure for cutting into deficit
financing with increased taxes.
There also was the psychological
argument that digging deeper into
the taxpayers pockets would bring
home more sharply the need for
sacrifice. Further, it would tend
to keep down inflationary pres

THE WEEK IN PERsPECTWE
Moving Toward Diplomatic Initiative

President Kennedy indicated
last week that the West was
planning to take the initiative
in finding a solution to the Ger
man and Berlin problems.
Two months have now expired
since Premier Khrushchev issued
his latest six months ''ultimatum"
demanding the West join him
in signing separate peace treaties
with East and West Germanies, or
face the consequences of his sign
ing unilaterly with the East.
Thousands of words have passed
between both sides, and both
have announced military buildups.
Peace, however, still reigns in
Berlin and Western troops still
guard the city's Western zone in
habitants, surrounded on all sides
by Communist forces.
The latest barrage of words in
this Soviet-manufactured "crisis"
was President Kennedy's television
speech last Tuesday in which he
made clear the Vests position
as follows:
I'VE will at all times be ready
to talk, if talk will help. But
we must also be ready to resist
with force, if force is used. Either
alone would fail. Together, they
can serve the cause of peace and
freedom"
Evening star., 1961-07-30
To Take initiative

The military increases of men
and money spelled out what he
thought was needed to resist with
force" but in that vague area of
talk" there were only suggeS-
tions and hints. The West was
apparently not ready, or prepared,
to propose anything specific.
The Presidents speech, how
ever, indicated the West had de-
cided at last to try to push Mr..
Khrushchev from the center stage
and take the diplomatic initiative
itself. Western statements up to
now have been little more than
replies to Khrushchev proposals
and demands.
This initiative was evident when
the President said "our time
military posture is traditionally
defensive: but our diplomatic pos
ture need not be. We do not
intend to leave it to others to
choose and monopolize the forum
and framework Of discussion. We
do not intend to abandon our
duty to mankind to seek a peace
full solution"
The President was vague about
how he proposed to take the
offensive" but he gave the ex-
perts something to hash over when
he said:
''Mr. Khrushchev may find that
his invitation to other nations to
join him in a meaningless treaty
may lead to their inviting him to
join in the community Of peace
full men in abandoning the use
of force, and in respecting the
sanctity of agreements"
