'Fellow Democrats Regard Johnson
As Man To Restore Unity To Party
!
s
(f
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26—UP -
Xpllow Democrats regard Senate
emocratic leader Lyndon B.
ohnson of Texas as a man with a
dedicated zeal to restore unity to
his party.
Many of them credit Johnson
with a large measure of success,
4' Although his tactics and strategy
have sometimes provoked grumb-
- ling, particularly from liberal wing
senators who favored a more ag-
gressive stand against the Eisen-
hower administration.
Johnson, however, has insisted
fe' on restraint. Mindful that the Dem-
ocrats have held a near-majority
in the Senate, he has felt that
they would hurt themselves polit-
ically if they used their muscle
to stall or obstruct the administra-
tion program.
Tying thse objectives of unity
and restraint to his interpretation
of the Democratic party philoso-
phy, Johnson has sought to devel-
op and exploit issues on which his
Zjjjfty could largely unite. Taxes,
farm price supports, tariff and
public power are examples.
Delighted by Issues
Nothing seemed to delight him
so much as finding an issue on
which conservative Democrats
like Sen. Walter F. George (Ga.)
voted with New Dealers like Sen.
' Hubert H. Humphrey (Minn.)
His session-end statement when
Congress was preparing to adjourn
last week reflected pride in such
Among examples he cited
were a 100 per cent Democratic
vote to send the Taft - Hartley
amendment bill back to commit-
tee, 92 per cent to increase rural
electrification funds, 95 per cent
for combining Alaskan and Hawai-
ian statehood bills and 96 per cent
to insist on "anti - monopoly"
amendments to the atomic energy
bill.
Johnson's strategy still appears
to jibe with what he told the Sen-
ate Democratic caucus which
twcted him floor leader Jan. 2,
1953.
"I believe that Democrats can
all work in harmony," he said
then. "One of my deepest convic-
tions is that there are more vital
issues to hold Democrats together
than there are issues to divide
them. . .
'Fight for Positive Program'
"We are now in the minority.
I have never agreed with the state-
ment that it is 'the business of
tire opposition o oppose.' I do not
believe the people have sent us
here merely to obstruct. 1 believe
we are here to fight for a positive
program. . ."
Johnson has told friends that he
wanted to be a sort of hinge be-
tween the conservative and liberal
party wings which had been at
war for about 15 years under
Democratic administrations.
His quest for harmony was aid-
ed by the return of the Democrats
to a minority role. This normally
applies a unifying force to a politi-
cal party.
Like his Republican counterpart,
Senate GOP leader William F.
Knowland, Johnson is a youngster j
by Senate standards. He was elect-
ed Democratic floor leader when
he was only 44 and with only four
years of Senate service.
Unlike Knowland, however, he.
was already viewed as an "old
pro." He had served two years as
Senate Democratic whip and spent
11 years in the House, where he
was known as a lieutenant of
President Roosevelt and a protege
of Rep. Sam Rayburn, former
speaker and now House demo-
cratic leader.

Boston Housewife Starts Her Family
Off Each Day With Hearty Breakfast
BOSTON — UP — The begin-
ning of good nutrition is a hearty
breakfast for the Edward F. Cur-
ry family of suburban Milton.
Attractive Patricia Curry, a pro-
fessional home economist turned
housewife, said she gives her hus-
band and three school - age chil-
dren "the works" for breakfast.
This helps to combat fatigue,
and along with a light and well-
balanced lunch, brings the family
to the evening meal ready for such
main dishes as broiled chicken, the
family's favorite.
How To Do It
Here's Mrs. Cury's recipe for
broiled chicken:
Buy chicken cut up for broiling.
Singe, wash with cold water, and
wipe dry with a towel. Make sure
the bird is at room temperature.
Place the chicken on broiler pan
and place pan on bottom of oven,
as far as possible from the broiler
with skin side down. Brush with
melted bulter and broil about 25
minutes until all pieces are evenly
browned.
Then turn and brush skin side
with melted butter and broil about
20 minutes. Remove to hot platter,
brush again with melted buter,
sprinkle wih salt and pepper, and
serve.
Along with broiled chicken, Mrs.
Cuyry usually serves whipped po-
tatoes, buttered fresh peas and
carrots, jellied pineapple and car-
rot salad, lemon meringue pie and
coffe, with milk for the children.
But breakfast is "the most im-
portant meal of all," she said.
"My family has fruit, cereal ihot
in winter and cold in summer),
eggs (any way I feel like serving
them), and coffee or milk."
Four Tips For Cooks
Mrs. Curry's tips to other home-
makers:
1. Enjoy cooking and you'll do
it well.
2. Arrange the kitchen so things
are where they are used.
3. Don't overcook vegetables
and do cook them in small quan-
tity of water.
4. Think of a roast in many
ways.
"I try to buy a good roast and
use it different ways through the
week. 1 think that's the most in-
expensive way to buy meat to-
day."
DERAILED—Bystanders mingle with passengers among derailed
cars of the Santa Fe Chief, derailed near Lomax, III., Sunday. Four
persons were killed and 53 injured. Ladder, center, was used to
rescue trapped passengers in overturned car. (NEA Telephoto)
French Dressing? Why,
Anyone Can Hash It Up!
PARIS —UP— French dressing?
Why there's nothing to it, the aver-
age housewive will say. It's a mix-
ture of oil, vinegar, salt and pep-
per.
But how wrong she can be.
Ask the chef at a leading Paris
restaurant how he makes his dress-
ing and a reflective gleam comes
into his eye.
The chef at Maxim's, the gold
il>.d glitter restaurant of the Paris
haute monde, says modestly:
"There's no secret to our salad
dressing."
"But," he adds, "we use the
purest olive oil.
Yes, and the vinegar employed
at Maxim's is made from vintage
wines and allowed to age for sev-
eral years in the aristocratic com-
pany of Napoleon brandies and fine
champagnes in the Maxim cellars
until it reaches maturity.
^'Only then," says Monsieur
Vaudable, "is it able to give the
proper aroma to the sauce."
The chef at the Tour d'Argent,
another gourmets' mecca, dishes
up a trifle he calls "salade roger."
Its basics are a frizzy head of
chicory, some celery stalks and
the insides — yes, the insides — of
several baked potatoes.
Season with salt, pepper, oil, vin-
egar, white wine and a little must-
ard.
Add a few thick slices of well-
done heart of artichoke and some
bits of mushroom — raw mush-
room — chopped fine.
Attack these ingredients with a
will and a chopper, hack up thor-
oughly and your salad is ready
for the ultimate consumer.
Three fat pedigree chicksns in
the world-famed French mountain
town of Bresse are sacrificed evei"y
time Jean Ecorce, crusty culinary
genius of the Grand Vefour, dishes
up his salad for six.
Local Chickens Preferred
He takes three chicken livers,
"preferably from chickens raised
at Bresse," and frys them ever so
gentley until tender, inside and out.
Then he says, "hash them up
with two hard-boiled eggs, and oil,
vinegar, salt, pepper and a touch of
mustard."
Toss well. Eat.
These chefs are of the old — or
olive oil — school. Some of the
younger kings of the kitchens here
claim these days that olive oil is
"vieux jeu" (old-fashioned).
The ingredient they use is full
flavored groundnut i peanut) oil.
It gives to a salad a . . ."je ne sais
quoi."

Woman Delegate
From Hawaii Knows
Her Politics Well
HONOLULU — UP — Mrs. Eliz-
abeth P. Farrington — who was
elected recently to succeed her late
husband as Hawaii's delegate to
Congress — may be a freshman
Congresswoman . . . but she's 110
freshman to the ways of Washing-
ton, or national politics.
The widow of the late Delegate
Joseph R. Farrington has been a
leading figure of Washington's dis-
taff side for years — as the wife of
the delegate, as a newspaperwom-
an, and as a leader in Republican
party activities.
Fifty-six-year old Betty Far-
rington defeated two opponents in
a special election for her husband's
unexpired term.
Mrs. Farrington waged a stren-
uous campaign which started less
than a month after her husband's
death. She is the first woman to
represent Hawaii in Congress. Her
term runs until next January.
Mrs. Farrington campaigned |
primarily on a program carrying j
011 her late husband's unkished j
work.
Her husband's chief unfinished j
task in Congress was his 12-year !
effort — as Hawaii's single, non-!
voting representatives — to |
winstatehood. However, statehood i
wasn't an issue in the election I
campaign as Congress put it over j
for next year.

'Weaker Sex' Doing
Work These Days
NEW YORK — UP — Whoever
labelled 'em "the weaker sex"
used the wrong term.
A survey on who's doing most
of the work in these days of do-
it-yourself mania shows it's the
women.
The research department of the
Georgia-Pacific Plywood Co. did a
six - month study of 9,000 Ameri-
cans whose homes are valued from
labor load is distributed.
"Women do 41 per cent of the
work, men are responsible for 27
per cent and the rest is a coopera-
tive family endeavor," said the
president, Owren R. Cheatham.
Women get the ideas too. The
company found that "79 per cent
of present - day home improve-
ments are initiated by women."
And the gals aren't grabbing off
the simple jobs like painting the
porch swing or slip - covering a
chair. The check showed they're
painting the exteriors and interi-
ors of houses, landscaping grounds,
installing tile floors and plywood
walls, shingling and insulating
houses, wallpapering rooms, mak-
ing furniture and even doing some
of the plumbling.
ISlSS
Successful Plea
AUBURN, N. Y. — UP — A
homeless man walked into court
here, accused himself of loitering
and asked for 10 days in jail. "Mo-
tion granted," said Judge John L.
Naskiewicz, "You have argued
your case successfully."
PEEKABOO—Jenny Bass, of San Diego, Calif., models sun-
glasses with a new look. The feathers and shells, supposedly add
charm and originality. The unusual design was brought about
by her friend who does millinery work as a bobby.
Manufacturer Plans
To Use Egyptian Colors
In New Line Of Blouses
GREENBORO, N. C. — UP —
The 14 colors of Cheops will be
featured in the holiday line of
blouses by a leading textile manu-
facturer (Burlington Mills).
Taking its cue from renewed in-
terest in Egypt because of the dos-
I cover of Cheops' solar ship, re-
j searchers announced reproductions
| of the authentic colors used during
j the dramatic fourth dynasty of the
j Pharoahs.
\ The colors are papyrus, pink,
1 gypsum, solar blue, Nile Delta,
| cedarwood, pharoah gold, scarab
j coral, royal amethyst, celestial
! blue, turquoise treasure, sycamore,
i osiris blue, sphinx and Egyptian

Wholesale Food Prices
Fall Eighteen Cents
NEW YORK. Aug. 26 — UP-
Wholesale food prices fell 18 cents I
j this week on the Dun & Bradstreet |
I Inc Index, in the sharpest drop
for more than five years, it was '
announced Wednesday.
Declines in coffee and cocoa sent j
[ the index down to S6.89 — the low-
est level in more than seven
; months — from $7.07 in the pre-
vious week. It was the biggest
weekly dip since Feb. 8, 1949.
However, the latest figure still is
3.3 per cent higher than the $0.67
of a year ago and i5.6 per cent
above the pre-Korean war level of
$5.96.
The index represents the sum of
the price per pound of SI foods in
general use.
Rat Clause
WORCESTER, Mass. — UP —
A clause in all contracts for con-
struction of municipal parking
lots here calls for extermination
of rats before wrecking crews start
work in buildings affected. The
clause was inserted to prevent
rats fleeing to buildings bordering
the parking lot sites.
Lukewarm water is better than
cold for sprinkling clothes because
the warm penetrates the fabric
more evenly.
