Local Hotel Chef
Cooked for De GouIIe

From AlgierS, North Al
RIGA, to Washington, D. c., is
quite a Jump. But even
greater than the distance is
the difference in working
conditions for the man who
served as chef to Gen.
Charles de Gaulle at the
Free French Officers Club
in North Africa during World
War II.
Fred Mohr, executive chef
of the Shoreham Hotel, re-
calls lie Grand Charles"
in keeping with his frugal
way of life, never went in
for expensive or exotic
cooking.
He was preoccupied with
other problems and food
never seemed to matter
much to him." says Chef
Mohr.
But such was not the case
with members of the gen.
erals staff. They were much
more concerned with the cui-
sine than their leader. In
fact, one of Mr.. Mohr's main
problems in those days, when
food was in such short sup
ply, was catering to palates
which were used to having
only the finest served to
them"
Through friends in the
English and American
armies, he was able to OBJ
tain some supplies. In gen.
eral, however, menus were
built around potatoes, dried
vegetables (beans, peas and
lentilS), fish and frozen
meats, particularly pork and
lamb. Chef Mohr resorted to
caSseroles and special sauces
to dress up the food. But
even here he ran into trouble
since the sauces had to be
made with powdered eggs
and condensed milk. Cream
was nonexistent. All that is
in the past, however, for
today he can choose from the
finest foods and swines to
create his culinary MASTER
pieces.
Following his wartime serv-
ice with Gen. de Gaulle, Mr..
Mohr continued his career in
various hotels in the center
Of France. In I947 he came
to the United States, where
his first job was at the Hotel
Pierre in New York, then he
spent several years in lead
ing hotels in Florida and the
Ponce International Hotel,
San Juan, Puerto Rico. He
has been executive chef at
the Shoreham a little over a
year.
A native Of Strasbourg,
Mr.. Mohr, who speaks Ger
man. Spanish and English
in addition to his own tongue,
specializes in French cook
ing naturally, but also has
a penchant for Chinese
dishes. His roast pork Can
toneSe and Chinese egg rolls
are special favorites of hotel
guests.

which was attended by Negro and
white civil rights leaders from all
over the country.

has a hard time spooning it. How
ever veteran air traveller Bennett
solved our problem by having the
stewardess pour a little hot coffee
in the cup containing the solidly
frozen ice cream and everything
was lovely. The pretty stewardess
suggested that passenger Bennett
was inventing a new dessert!
After we were aloft for q
while we asked Judge Bennett
about the hotel reservations he
had wrote for which requested
Accommodations at the new Park
Plaza.
Mr.. Bennett consulted a letter he
had in his pocket and to his dis
may, found the letter from the
hotel which he had not bothered to
open and read which he assumed
was confirming his request for
rooms, was actually a we're sorry
we are filled on the dates request
ed" Bennett was so sure the hotel
would have Accommodations that
when his secretary gave him the
letter, he didn't even read it.
For a brief period we had visions
Of camping out in Washington but
these illusions were disapated when
we remembered we have plenty Of
Minnesotans in Washington and
most of them have nice homes
with extra rooms.
Then too, we remembered that
there were news reports that most
of the Republican Congressman
were by then, enroute to various
parts of the nation to before audi
ences claim kinship to the
Emancipator Abraham Lincoln in
annual Lincoln Day speeches. This
would no doubt mean the number
Of persons arriving in Washington
to see their Congressman, Con-
gresswoman or Senator who was
a Republican would be drastcally
reduced and hotel rooms ought
not be too hard to obtain.
After a nice flight with a single
stop at Detroit we reached the Ma
tonal Airport in DC. Judge Ben
nett got on the phone and almost
Immediately we secured reserva-
tons at the Mayflower Hotel. This
hotel in downtown Washington
was formerly "the" stopping place
Of the great and near-great in
American political life. Today it is
one of the top hotels, but has
had to divide up some of the not
ables who throng Washington with
more recently built establishments.
All three of us were roomed and
got settled for the night. After
telephone calls Bennett came to
the writer's room and kept up a
conversation for half the night.
We finally chased him back to his
own room and hit the sack. He
promised he was going to rise at
7 am. to be ready to greet his
daughter Marian who was flying
in from Cambridge, Mass, where
she attends school at Radcliffe
College. Next morning he slept
until daughter called him from
the airport!
We recalled that our first visit
to the MayflOwer Hotel was with
Robert Short, trucking firm ty-
coon and president and principal
owner of the Lakers. 1t Is q

For two solid hours, the show was

Sammy Davis singing was simply

At Pay TV prices 'twould still be a

How 10 top notch dancers could be

some editorial writers.
1t seems to that If the Negroes who suffer
discrimination in almost every facet Of American
life and who believe that such things minstrel
shows help keep alive an image that they would
like to forget, our honest and unprejudiced white
friends should accept our viewpoint.
Those who claim the Negroes rejection Of min
stre shows, Aunt Jemima and Stephen Fosters

sensitity fail to take into consideration the daily
battle with race prejudice and discrimination the
average Negro must wage whether he wants to our
not How to keep from being sensitive to wrongs
practiced against you every day is something that
not the wisest and most erudite Caucasians
have learned
Then there those poor souls who point out
that nationality jokes about the Scotch, the Irish and
other assimilated groups in our U.s. population
accepted by these groups. These same people fail
to recognize that these groups not Disseminated
against because Of their in any facet Of Amer
lean life Any groups situated afford to join
others in laughs about some alleged culture pattern
applicable to the particular group The Scottish
Americans can laugh heartily at jokes about their
alleged penuriousness because group they have
not been denied the opportunity of making some of
the money, which they kdded about boarding.
The Irish in the same boat. They fought like
the Jews to keep the Irish comics who trod the
buresque circuits from being offered typical ex-
amples of the group. The old time Jewish and Irish
comics on the American stage were removed from
the American stage by Irish and Jewish influences
who knew the harm that stereotypes do to emerging
groups, who do not yet enjoy positions in the main
stream of American life. In time even the black
faced burnt cork comedians and singers Of the Bert
Williams Al Jolson and Eddie Cantor era passed
from the scene.
Negro comedians of America now work in
paudits of both white and black theatregoers These
comedians tell joke about Negroes and get
away with it because the Negro audience knows
that such joke Is not based on attempt to keep
the Negro in subjection. The jokes told by a
white comedian to a Negro audience would find i'm
mediate disfavor-not because the Negro is narrow,
but because he still does not enjoy full equality In
this nation and he associates jokes told by member
Of the group which has been his oppressor with
racial bias.
When the time comes that a mans color Is no
bar to opportunity achievement, the house and

minstrel shows are not an indication of the white
mans rejection and andpathy towards him.
Now, Negroes don't like minstrel shows. No

humble opinion.
We 9Th Ward members do not
know of anything Rev. King has
done for the ward. All he can do
now is tear down what some Of us
in the Negro community have been
doing for years-to build up the
Negro as part of the political or
ganizational life Of the community,
to put in a place when its services
will be so worthwhile that party
members of all races will readily
endorse a candidate who happens
to be a Negro.
do hope someone can reach

he cannot win a campaign in the

didate." No candidate can win an
