r - i XmiB^AY, JUNE 5,1952 Tm NKW9^I0IIBNAL ii4 YOOand YOUR tONORESS Washington—^Bernard Baruch’s influence is being felt in Congress again and its effects on such things as military appropriations and economic controls legislation should be known a few weeks hence. ‘.if i The 81-year-old elder statesman, - who helped administer govern ment controls in both World Wars, has made three appearances as^an outside consultant to Congress during the mobilization program that began at the outset of the fighting in Korea. His most recent advice is that given to the Senate Preparedness subcommittee, which conducts a running investigation of the de fense program. ' Baructiis latest recommendations include: 1. A defense budget that fits the risks this country faces, with no cuts that will imperil the coun try’s security. (He did not name a figure.) 2. Stockpiling of weapons and ammunition. 3. Giving the President ample power, including strong control over prices and allocation of scarce materials. Declaring that the United StateS is losing the armaments race to Russia, Baruch said “we can have the necessary defense and pre serve the soundness of our econo my.” The effect of Baruch’s advice to Congress was strong in 1950. Then after the outbreak of the fighting in Korea, Congress was deadlock ed over the question of how much control power to give the Presi dent for the new emergency per iod. Some feared to give him too much; others feared Congress might not give him enough and be blamed later by the public for not Complete Tire Rebuilding Service • Retreading all sizes passenger car tires # Recapping all sizes truck tires # ‘*Lodi steam molds - factory methods • Vulcanizing • Quick service • Bear Dynamic wheel balancing * • Expert workmanship McDonald’s Esse Servicenter Phone 541 Raeford, N. C. noing so. . *On July 26, 1990, Baruch told the Senate Banking Committee that Congress should freeze all wages, prices and rents, increase taxes and ration essential goods. Almost immediately the dead lock broke and although Congress did not accept Baruch’s advice completely, it did Vote the Pres ident more power than he had re quested. The President did not employ his controls power in Jhe wage-price field until several months afterward and Baruch now criticizes the Administration for that delay. Last year, when Congress was considering extension of the eco nomic and production controls, which were due to expire, Baruch recommended extending them in tact. Congress was coiisideral^ less receptive to his advice than in 1950. Realizing that inflationary pressures had subsided somewhat during the one-year interval. Con gress decided to extend the eco nomic controls in less stringent form than it originally had drawn them, While it is still too early to say how Baruch’s recommendations will fare this year, certain con ditions may be noted. For one thing, many members of Congress, overwheimed by the Adminstration’s request for $51.2 billion for military use in the next fiscal year, are seriously concerned about the economy’s future stabil ity—realizing that it, too, affects national security. Moreover, refus ing to increase taxes again this year, they hope to cut the total $85.4 billion budget substantially so as to hold down inflationary de ficit financing. And since military spending accoimts for 60 per cent of the budget, they feel it must be reduced. Besides, the Pentagon has developed a reputation for waste fulness. Consequently, the House cut the military budget figure by $5 bil lion and the Senate, while hear ing Pentagon pleas to do so, ap pears unlikely to restole the a- mount cut by the House. While Baruch argues for stock piling weapons and ammunition, the Administration’s program has been to make ready ample mili tary production capacity as a sub stitute for such stockpiling and Congress has gone along pretty much with this plan. Whether it will reverse itself as Baruch sug gests certainly is open to question. Meanwhile, Baruch recommends stronger economic controls than those now in force. But Congress sees more and more prices sliding below official ceilings as merch ants operate mainly in a buyers’ n^rket, Congress also hears the Wage Stabilization Board frequ ently referred to as the “wage stimulation board” and many in Congress are dngered by the Board* majority’s rulings on such non-economic matters as the union shop. Thus, the optlook for Baruch’s recommendations in this field, too, remains doubtful. HmtsTo Homemakers DO YOU KNOW — How to get a just right crust? 1.

Meastire water, don’t guess. 6. Don’t be afraid to blend throughly, then divide and shape into a compact ball before rolling. 7. Roll lightly, from center to ward edge, back and forth, then side to side until the crust is one inch larger than the pan on all sides. • 8. Use pans which are dull in finish rathejj than shiny for best browning. 9. Bake fruit pics |it 425 F. sin gle crusts at 425 F. to 450 F. How To Prevent Soggy Under Crusts? 1. For Fruit pies—try sprinkling part of the flour and sugar to be used over the bottom crust before the fruit is put in, then bake at 425 F. Or thicken the fruit first, partly cook and cool before putting into unbaked crust, bake quickly at 425 F. 2. For cream pie—Partly cool creamy filling then pour into bak ed pie shell. Some find it helps to brush the crust of custard pie with beaten egg and let it dry in th§ refrigerator for 10 minutes before adding filling. How To Keep Filling From Getting “Runny”? Fillings which seem to thin down after pie is baked may be due to several things. , 1. Cream fillings have 2 kinds of thickening-starch (cornstarch, flour, or tapioca) as well as egg. Be sure to cook the starch long enough to get maximum thicken ing befoer adding the egg. Also cook the egg into the filling until maximum thickening is obtained. 2. Pie fillings which have acid is then, such as fruit, brown sugar or chocolate, need additional thickening since acid tends to thin the mixture in cooking. How To Get A Fluffy Meringue? 1. Use egg whites at room tem- erature to get maximum whipping power. Beat egg whites until near ly stiff. Then add 2 tablespoons of sugar per egg white and beat until fine textured and stiff. Pile on pie spreading clear to edge of crust and bake it at 425 F. for 5-8 minutes to brown the peaks of the meringues. 2. Cool slowly, away from drafts to insure a rjon-shrinking merin gue. ♦ Five Minute Pie Crust Recipt For A Two Crust Pie 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 2-3 cup lard 3or 4 tablespoons water Measure flour without sifting.
