like, but if you're new in the
neighborhood, don't hesitate
to go alone because the

Long, slow cooking :.
but little watching is
required for both the meat
pie and baked beans to bring
out the good flavor. But once
they're in the oven you can
go about your business, such
as cleaning up the after
math of the holidays.
In this meat pie, oregano
and bay leaf combine subtly
with the beef for a different
but delightful seasoning. Use
half the biscuit recipe for
the topping, serve the rest
on a plate. All you need to
round out the meal is a mixed
green salad, baked apples and
beverage.
It's the unusual combina-
tion of SeaSonings that lifts
the red beans, country style
out of the ordinary. A bit
OF Jamaica rum added during
the last five minutes of cook
ing adds an unbelievably
good flavor, and the crown
ing touch is a dollop of sour
cream on each serving.
This main course calls for
little else to make a salts
flying dinner. Good accom-
panimentS are Parmesa

some of your holiday fruit
and coffee. To make the
cheese squares, cut a loaf of
unsliced bread into large
cubes or fingers, as you please.

incidentally, if you have
any of these beans left over,
they freeze well. To reheat,
put them in the oven in a

The Sausage-sweet potato

speedier, you could brown the
sausage in the morning. Then
just before baking, slice the

vegetables, rolls and cake

grapefruit and honey. Ac-
cording to reports this year

grapefruit estimated at
more than As million boxes.
The 1861 honey crop set an
all-time record of some 276
million pounds.
Look for continued low
prices and heavy supplies of
broiler-fryers again this
month. Prices will be lower
than a year ago, although
they're expected to be up a
little from the very low prices
of recent weeks.
The great apple crop fore
cast for this year has turned
out even bigger than antici-
pated nearly 127 million
bushels. Potatoes are also in
bumper supply this winter.
Again, the crop is larger than
estimated. No matter where
you live, potatoes will be
plentiful and prices low.
It will be a good year at
meat counters, too. Meat,
considered by many the most
important item at the super
market, will be easier to shop
for, according to the Ameri-
can Meat Institute.
For one thing, meat will be
in plentiful supply. A record
production of 1913 billion
pounds has been predicted
for 1862. Beef production is
expected to increase 4 per
cent over last year, or an all
time high of about 81 pounds
per person.
Pork supplies will be ample;
veal will remain about the
same and lamb production
will decrease slightly.
To simplify shopping, the
institute says, meat packages
will carry more helpful infor-
nation to aid shoppers in Sc
lection, preparation and Serv-

products are expected to
make their appearance as the

Whether or not this particular problem
brought General Clay to Washington
over the past week end, for personal
conversations with the President, his
visit here conceded with published re-
ports that he had been in some dis
agreement with Secretary Rusk on
policy. The absence of any such dis
agreement was emphasized by General
Clay, Secretary Rusk and the President,
with the result that disquieting conjec-
lures to the contrary have been removed.
Fundamentally, General Clay's Job
In Berlin Is to prevent the misunder-
standings at that level which could dis
tort the intent Of policy agreed on in
Washington. This strikes us as a good
arrangement. The delicate responsibility
assigned to General Clay has been placed
in very capable hands.

Boost for Dyno Soar

stepped-up Dyna Soar program
will advance the date for the Air
Forces long-planned attempt to orbit
manned space glider, capable of
being Steered back to earth for a
conventional landing on an air strip.
The experiment, to take place in the
''early SIXTIES" is expected to demon
strate the military value of such con-
trolled flights on the edges of the
earth's atmosphere. The Air Force has
had difficulty in the past in selling
the idea to budgetary officials at the
Pentagon.
Now, instead of taking one or
more suborbital flights of the sort
undertaken successfully by Astronauts
Shepard and GriSSom in an ocean
landing space capsule, the Air Force
has received permission to concentrate
on an orbital flight. The Dyna Soar
glider Is to be boosted some 100 miles
high and sent into orbit at $4,000
miles an hour by Titan rocket of
special design. The rockets thrust will
be amplified by the addition of solid
fuel booster charges.
Thus, in place Of noSe-cone CAP
sule which must be lowered by para
chute, the delta-winged glider will ride
piggy-back into the sky from launch
ing pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
After orbiting the globe the pilot will
operate conventional controls as the
aircraft enters the heavier atmosphere
and will aim for a predetermined air
str1p-probably at Edwards Air Force
Base, in California The Dyna Soar
craft will differ from the Air Forces
X-15 rocket plane in that it will have
no power beyond small rockets for
maneuvering in thin air and for slow
ing up descent.
To what extent such manned
space craft" would be useful for Mill
tary reconnaissance or other purposes
Is matter of debate But the Dyna
Soar experiment is certain to attract
worldwide attention, in any event.

'Grondpo' Meony

While we have seen no statistics on
the subject, there must be an enormous
number of people who, at mature stage
of their lives, take up painting and are
rewarded by vast amount of pleasure
from the experience. One of the more
prominent, and certainly one of the
busiest, to do so, 1t turns out, is AFL-CIO
President George Meany, who began
"fooling around" with the brushes half
a dozen years ago.
Besides attaining a creditable degree
OF proficiency (his paintings repeatedly
are reminiscent of Grandma Moses),
Mr.. Meany finds painting the ultimate
in relaxation. We congratulate him on
successful and worthwhile hobby. All
the same, it does seem too bad that he
has confined himself to landscapes For
wouldn't 1t be fun to see a Meany i'm

Berlin Wotchmdn

There Is lengthy and perhaps
necessarily complicated chain of COM
munications between the making of
policy in Washington and the trans
lation of such policy by those on the
spot in Berlin. This is one reason for
General Clay'S presence in Berlin as
special representative of and with
immediate access to the President.
Thoroughly indoctrinated in policy laid
down by the President and his Secre-
tary of State, his presence in Berlin
enables him to observe proposed appli-
cations of that policy when reduced to
the terms of instructions or directives
for guidance of military commanders.
So If General Clay expresses doubts
as to the wisdom of going too far or
not going far enough in such instruc-
tionS, he is not debating the policy
although he may be questioning the

1t is a sad commentary on
the "holier than thou" So

that the ABC regarded the

Unheeded BuqIe Call

There Is some unhappiness on the
Democratic left flank as the legislators
troop back into town for the second
session of the 87th Congress. The bugles
have sounded the call for a frontal
attack on the conservative foe. But, if
heard, this call has not been needed
in the White House.
To the liberals, this Is the more
distressing because, they say, the
PRESIDENTS popularity throughout the
country lis higher than a year ago. If
this is so-and it seems to be so-why
is not Mr.. Kennedy eager to do battle
for the more controversial points in the
1860 Democratic platform-civil rights
legislation, comprehensive aid to edu-
cation, ETC.? Why does he seem prepared
to wage his real fight for a relatively
modest program-tariff reform, medi-
cal care for the aged and some tax law
revision? In short, why, against back
ground OF rising personal popularity, is
the President apparently aiming at the
middle ground-Striving for reasonably
attainable legislative goals and leaving
the fight on the fringes for another day?
Doubtless there are many reasons.
One is that platform pledges in presi-
Dental year always promise more than
can be delivered. Another is that
presidential candidate, or even a newly
elected President, soon discovers that
campaign promises are one thing,
getting Congress to indorse them quite
another. OF foremost Importance, how
ever, is the matter of the Presidents
personal popularity Mr.. Kennedy was
elected by the slimmest of margins. And
II he is more popular now than in
November, 1860, his liberal critics ought
to ask themselves why this is so. What
is 1t that has brought about this change
in the span Of IA months?
We think it is because Mr.. Kennedy,
while using his executive powers to
advance liberal causes, has been able
to Identify himself with that instinct
for moderation which for some years
has been the dominant characteristic
of the American political scene. He has
not been eager to shoot from the hip
every time the liberal bugle blows, and
he will not do so in the congressional
session which opens tomorrow. There
will be no futile battles for the sake of
causes which could not be won in any
event.
In this fashion, or so it seems to us,
the President can best hope to retain
that broad base of popular support
which he needs, not only for partisan
reasons, but for the necessary and

malcontents, we provide him
with a safety valve against
rebellion, contribute to his
long and healthy survival In
office, and help consolidate
Communist control of a ma
ton only 80 miles from our
shores.
We are not only harming
ourselves by such irrational
ity. We are giving away what
is not ours to give-our chill
dren's birthright to album

hope for survival in a cold
war that might stretch scores
of years into the future.
Isn't it time to turn to a
positive immigration policy?
That is, to seek out those
who are capable of making
significant contributions to
the economy, scientific ad-
vancement and culture of the
United States, without re-
gard to race, creed, color or
country of origin, and to limit
the privilege of immigration
essentially to the few thou
sand each year who can thus
be effectively recruited.
AS to refugees" we must
regain sense of duty. We
must resolve for the future
to turn back, through control
of air transportation and
patrol Of the seas, those who,
by their growing discomfort
and resistance, would help
cause the overthrow of their
enemy and ours.

Incendiory Sukurno

1AcolucAI OukdTnO OF 1nQOneS1a is
growing increasingly arrogant and
bellicose in demanding that the Neither
lands government hand over West New
Guinea to him forthwith. Indeed, he
has become so incendiary on the subject
that he may rightly be accused of
flagrantly violating both the letter and
spirit Of the United Nations Charter.
Thus, in speech designed to whip
up fervor for his threat to launch a
"liberating" armed invasion of the
Dutch-administered island, "neutralist"
Mr.. Sukarno has just told an audience
in South Celebes that he will resort to
all necessary force unless he is given
what he wants. To be sure, he is willing
to negotiate" for a peaceful settle
ment-but he will do so only if the
Netherlands agrees in advance to accept
his terms, which would amount to
complete surrender.
Unless the Dutch do this, according
to Mr.. Sukarno, his forces will invade,
and there will be bloodShed. He has
limited, for example, that during one

styling military movements $50 the

In openly discussing all this, Mr..
Sukarno, although the planner and
threatener of what could conceivably
lead to major war in that part of the
world, has had the brazenneSs to declare
that the Netherlands government, not
his, will be to blame for any fighting
and dying that might ensue. The
potential aggressor thus exonerates him.
self in advance and points the finger
OF accusation at the other side, which
is menacing nobody and which is pre-
pared to enter upon honest negotiations
for peaceful and just settlement of
the issue. Shades of Adolf Hitler!
Mr.. Sukarno, however, apparently
feels quite SNUG and cocky about his
invasion threat. After all, it has the
blessing Of the Communist Sino-Soviet
bloc, and most of the Afro-Asian
"neutralists" support it. AS for the
rest of the world, including particularly
the United States and its allies, Indo-
nesia's President has contemptuously
declared that he and his government
don't care about international opinion"
The great irony involved is that our own
country, caring a great deal about his
opinion of us, has given vast amounts
of aid to this man in an effort to help
IndoneSia establish itself as stable and
mature nation serving the cause of
peace IN the far Pacific.
Well, now we see Mr.. Sukarno
breathing fire. Certainly, If he resorts
to force, the United States, regardless
of his Afro-Asian friends and so-called
world opinion, should do everything
possible to get the U. NJ to take appro-
pirate action against him. The U. N.
majority could side with him in such a
test only at the risk of mortally
