f- * MJ pm&on —U I 1 New U. N. Policy UNDER the new anti-Communist ' law, any newspaperman can be put in jail for publishing secret documents. Nevertheless, I am go ing to publish a confidential state j department instruction which hap pens to be one of the most im- j portant issued in five years. The secret memo is an instruc tion to American delegates at the i current U.N. genera! assembly, | and it states: “The aim of this critical session ! is to lift GA (abbreviation for gen- I eral assembly) out of the debating society class and make it an es- ; fective action agency when col- 1 lective defense through SC (abbre viation for security council) is frustrated ... to organize GA ef fectively to deter further aggres- ; sion.” In those 38 words is summed up the most important reversal of | American policy in years. In those 38 words is also spelled out the hopes for future peace in the world. It is a reversal because at San Francisco where the United Na tions was founded in 1945, Ameri can delegates insisted that the new organization be dominated by the big powers on the security council. At that time we were just as strong for the veto as the Russians. So were the British and French. The . veto was our joint and mutual baby. Big vs Little Nations At that time also, the smaller nations, led by dynamic, farsighted t Foreign Minister Evatt of Australia, ' tried to curtail the veto; tried to increase the power of the general assembly. New Zealand, Greece, Belgium, the Scandinavian countries all fought for this principle. They knew what the veto meant. They realized that when the big powers sat down in the security council, they would be just as deadlocked as on the council of the old League of Nations. However, the United Sates, at that time, sided with Russia, and the security council with its veto was made all-powerful compared with the democratic general as sembly where majority ruled. This is what the state department is trying to reverse in New York right now. For the American peo ple saw what the U.N. could do when Russia was absent from the security council; also how stymied security council. But believe it or not, the coun tries now dragging their feet are our best friends, the French and British. With far less to lose than we, they are proposing "construc tive criticism" which actually has the effect of helping to pull the Russian chestnuts out of the fire. Slot-Machine Malone Nevada Sen. George Malone’s filibuster in favor of slot machines has been put to music by Washing ton Post reporter Al Friendly, poet laureate of the press gallery. To the tune “Home on the Range," Friendly mischievously substituted these new words de scribing good old Molly Malone's speech-making: “Oh give me a Malone Where pomposities roam And ideas are fuzzy and gray. Where never is heard An intelligent word And the platitudes roam all the day.” Anti-Communist Bill Many Republicans didn't know this when they voted for the new Communist control law, but under it the justice department has the complete and unchallengeable pow er to investigate such GOP sena tors as Taft of Ohio, Jenner of Indiana, Wherry o’s Nebraska and Watkins of Utah on the ground that their voting records coincide with left-wing Congressman Marcan tonio of New York. Who Killed Cock Robin? Twice during the closing hours of congress, Nebraska’s likable, irrepressible Sen. Ken Wherry in terrupted the senate proceedings to deny a story in this column that he had cut the senate crime inves tigating committee's appropriations in half. "I shall not answer Drew Pear _son. I have never answered Drew Pearson." Wherry thundered. Then he proceeded to answer me not only once but twice in the same week. He even got Sen. Guy Gill ette of lowa to write a letter, taking responsibility for the motion that reduced the Kefauver crime appro priations from SIOO,OOO to $50,000. Ordinarily I don't disclose my suiwces. But in view of the tumult raised by Wherry, I shall make an exception and reveal who reported that Wherry was responsible for cutting the crime appropriation. The source just happens to be— Senator Wherry, himself. After the secret meeting, during which the appropriations were cut, Wherry came out looking proud of himself. He rushed up and whis pered to a representative of this column that he, Wherry, had just pulled a fast one on Senator Kefauver of Tennessee. £2?) HOUSEHOLD o^l -Jnib Treat the Family to Yeast Rolls (See Recipes Below) Bake with Yeast NO MATTER HOW simple a meal, its appeal can be en hanced greatly with freshly baked, yeast-leavened bread or rolls.

Prepare a 12x9-inch pan by greasing with butter and sprinkling with 3 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar. Roll dough into a rectangle 10 by 20 inches. Brush lightly with butter; sprinkle a thin layer of cinnamon sugar over the dough. Fold the dough over in thirds so as to have long narrow strips of dough in three layers. Seal edge and flatten strip with rolling pin or hands. Cut crosswise into 1-inch strips. Roll each strip under hands. Place hands at each end of strip and twist by moving hands in op posite directions. Pick up dough at the two ends at the same time to let dough shape itself into a twist. Place twists side by side into pre pared pan. Brush tops of twists with butter and sprinkle with re mainder of cinnamon sugar Let rise until doubled in bulk. Bake in a moderate (375^) oven for about 25 minutes. Baking time of bread depends up on the size of the loaves. A pound loaf will usually bake satisfactorily in 45 to 50 minutes in a hot <4oo° F. to 450°F.) oven. Plain rolls bake in 15 to 20 minutes at this tempera ture. Don’t forget to add salt to your bread and rolls when mixing. It gives a lot of flavor to yeast doughs and also helps to control fermenta tion. Flour added to the dough after mixing will result in dark streaks and coarse textured bread and rolls.
