THIS WEEK
? In Washington
With Clinton Davidson
Top government farm officials |
from five Free World nations met ]
recently in Washington for two
('ays. then left with no more than
a brief note in the press that they j
liad been there.
Those who know what was dis
cussed think Kiat wh^t they began
here could very well have a greater
bearing on the future peace of the
wor'.J ti'.an anything to be accom
published at the Summit Conference '
in Geneva.
A start was made toward use of
the tremendous Free World reserve
of food to counter Russian propa
ganda among the uncommitted na
tions of th,e -work!. The countries ,
participating in the meeting were
the U. S., France, Canada, Aus- j
tralia and Argentina.
The conference was the first step
in the "foo<; for peace" proposal
advanced early this year by Presi
dent Eisenhower in a special mes
sage to Congress. Officials de
scribed it as "largely exploratory."
Bread on the Waters
Agreement was reached, tenta
tively. on a program f:>r sharing
ti e surpluses of wheat held by the
five nations with the more than half
a billion people in the world wha g'J
to bed hungry every night.
The five agriculura* ministers
took home. for approval of their
governments, proposals that could
make available almost immediately
some two billion bushels of wheat
for distribut on to nations in short
supply of food.
It was agreed to encourage un
cle tdovelcped nations to set up their
own national f4icd reserves, using
wheat received from the five ex
porting nations.
Following the example already
set by the I'. S.. the four other
countries w:'l consider making
W'heat available anywhere in the
Free World in exchange for the
currency of the receiving nation.
1 wo Purposes
The food surplus producing na
tions have two primary objectives
in undertaking a tnod for peace
program. They want to combat
communism in the nations w Here
hunger makes it easy for the Reds
to sprend (heir propaganda.
Too, they want to turn food sur
pluses from a financial burden Into
an asset for peace, aad aa the pre
liminary to long-time customers for
our farms and factories.
Four of the five nations repre
sented at the meeting have the
ablMty to greatly expand their food
production. France la thp excep
tion. Although wheat currently Is
in the grea Lest surplus, many other
foods also are available.
The eventual goal of the food for
peace program is to keep farmers]
in the Free World fully and prof
itably employed while, at the same j
time-, making food available to
peoples of the underdeveloped na
tion? under long-term agreements. '
The reasoning is that communism
cannot flourish in nations that are
wel! fed and ciothed. This Is a long
range goal whose success or failure
cculd mean the difference between
war and peace without fear of hun
ger.

The World's Only True Wild Horse '
Going The Way Of The Whooping Grain
Tb.? only true wild horse ? the
Mongolian or Piwalski - i* go
mg the way of the w hooping crane.
Zoologist* believe that the SO or
a? animal* in too* around the world
dew outnumber tbo*e roaming the
old central-Asian homeland. It is
eten suspected that small herds in
the wlldernesa may have interbred
with domestic horses and no longer
exist in pure form.
To save the species from extinc
tion, the director of the Zoological
Gardens at Prague, Czechoslova
kia, has recently circulated ques
tionnaire* to all known owners of
Prxewalskies. asking for detailed
records on tljeir history and chara
cteristics. The data will provide
pedigrees that will be helpful in
breeding.
The Przewalski Wild horse was
named for a Russian explorer who
came on the animals while travel
ing in Mongila and northern Tibet
during the WO'*, says the National
Geographic Society.
Colonel Nicholas M. Prxewalski
also spelled Prejevalsky) was a
ctarist army officer whose ardent
interest In natural history had led
blm to apply for posts in eastern
Siberia.
In 1870 he obtained permission to
conduct an expedition across inner
Asia for the Russian Geographical
Society. Among tlje thousands of
specimens of mammals, birds, rep
tiles, and fishes he collected were
the skull and akin of a strange,
small horse.
In an adventure-filled book pub
lished in 1876, Colonel Przewakki
reported large herds of the horses
running wild on the plains of Tsal
dam and beyond In western Mon
golia. They were quite sl\y, he said,
and when frightened would continue
a flight for days.
A little vinegar and sugar heated
together makes a good dressing for
knap beans or cabbage, with or
without a few tablespoons of cream.
VEGETABLES IN SAUCE ? For
a flavor change, serve boiled vege
tables in a sauce. Combine hot
vegetables and hot saoae. lightly just |
before serving, allowing about 1 cup i
of sauce for 4 servings of vegeta
ble. For full vegetable flavor, use
the vegetable cooking liquid in the {
sauce.
Mock Hollandaise Sauce: Make
medium white sauce. Beat 2 egg
yolks; stir about Vi cup of Hie hot
sauce into them and pour back into
the rest of the sauce. Add 2 table
spoons butter or margarine and
Mongol tribesmen told Che ex
plorer that although they hunted
wild camels of northwest Tsaidam
icr their delicate flesh, the horses
were too swift and alert for the
chase.
The Przewalsgl Wild Horse U
much smaller than the domestic
animal. It ts generally yellowish or
light reddish-brown in color, with
a distinctive dark streak along it* '
back. Its head is large, the muz- 1
?'e prominent. Its tail is long and
flowing, and its short mane is as
stiff as a clothes brush.
A closely related wild horse, now
cxtinct. was the Tarpan. So called
from its Ttarary roving grounds,
this Creature had a drab-gray col
or and less noticeable streak.
Both horses carried on a remark
ably organized way of life. The
herds, numbering from several
hundred to perhaps a thousand,
were set up like armies. At the
^ea<i of each galloped a sultan
stallion, leader in battle and lord
of any mare of l)is choice.
"Lieutenants" commanded the
'ewer ranks, wtiile restive young !
tallions served as sentries. They j
'rot'ed along on the outskirts of the !
herds, ready to neigh a piercing
warning at the first sign of danger, j
In a fascinating experiment in
back-breeding, the German zoolo
gist brothers. Lutz and Heinz Heck,
have succeeded in physically re
?reating the the extinct Tarpan.
By crossing selected domestic I
?nare? of Scandinavian stock with
wild Mongolian stallions, they have
'eve I oped typical wild forest hor
es of primeval times. Small and
mouse gray, the animals have the j
ruf'11 mane, flowing tail, and cha
acteristic streak of their ancient
ancestors.
stir and cook over hot water about
a minute. .Remove from heat and
stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juica.
Serve at once. Excellent for aspa
ragus and broccoli.
Herb Sauce: Use proportions of
fat and flour for medium cr thin
white sauce. Cook 2 teaspoons finely
chopped chives and 2 teaspoons
tirely chopped parsley in file fat.
Add a pinch of marjoram or thyme
to the floui Before blending it into
the fat. Good with peas and lima
beans.
Mustard Sauce: Stir 2 teaspoons
prepared mustard into medium or
thin white sauce after cooking. Es
pecially gcod with snap beans,
greens, and cabbage.
