The sun. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1937-1972, January 11, 1946, Image 6
THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C.
Memos to the Editor:
The War Dept, phoned our Girl
Friday regarding some unhappy let
ters from G.I.s in Europe. Gen.
Eisenhower personally was contact
ed, said the caller, and “couldn’t
believe anyone would say or write
it.” . . . The letters, it appears,
dealt with a “rumor” that this col
umn allegedly published—but we
never said it or broadcast it or
wrote it or anything! . . . The griev
ance was over a report that G.I.s
in the European zone “with 70
points or more” couldn’t come home
to the 17. S. because they had crim
inal records or vd. . . . Drew Pear
son finally revealed that it originat
ed in London recently over the Brit
ish Broadcasting System. . . . We
have since been told that Gen. Eisen
hower is so informing all concerned
among our troops abroad.
A news weekly recently reported
that two of the eight saboteurs (who
were landed by Nazi sub at Long Is
land and Florida) had tipped the
FBI of the landings and that these
two men were promised “a break”
and didn’t get it. . . . These two are
named Dasch and Burger. . . . The
military tribunal decided all eight
be put to death, but J. Edgar Hoo
ver told FDR that Dasch and Bur
ger had helped considerably, and it
was FDR who commuted their
death sentences to 30 years for one
and life for the other. . . . Dasch, it
appears, is “almost a mental case,”
and Burger “still is helpful to our
gov’t as a witness against former
enemies.” . . . When the war is of
ficially declared ended by Congress
they’ll prob’ly be deported to Ger
many
The late Blaze, owned by the El
liott Roosevelts, continues to wield
influence on air travel, Gen. Hap
Arnold and his wife are flying to the
Coast about New Year’s when the
General steps into a top job in non
military aviation. They hoped to
take along (by plane) their cocker
spaniel, but Mrs. Arnold was wor
ried there’d be another newspaper
controversy. She didn’t worry long
—every company on the West Coast
offered to send a plane. . . . Ex-
Cong. Maury Maverick, now in Ja
pan, says: “Not enough news or
broadcasts about the Pacific. Gen.
MacArthur is the right man for
holding down the Japs, and we are
demobilizing in the U. S. A. too
fast!”
President Truman stepped in and
prevented the budget director from
shaving FBI appropriations. Tru
man is giving the G-Men the same
support they got from Roosevelt
Our recent fact that J. Edgar Hoo
ver (after 24 years’ service to the
U. S.) is broke, brought him several
offe ;s from big firms to take execu
tive posts at fancy wages, but he is
staying in Washington indefinitely.
. . . His former special agent in
charge of the Detroit, office (John
Bugas), who resigned to become
Henry Ford’s public relations chief,
is said to be getting $65,000 per an
num. Another report is $50 000. . . .
Mr. Hoover gets $10,000. . . At
one time he got $9,000 while the
Dept, of Justice press agent got 10
Gs. . . . Incidentally, the various
reports on LaGuardia’s salary as a
commentator are said to be exag
gerated. . . . The report that “$100,-
000 is low” does not jell with what
insiders claim—that it is $50,000.
Bigtown Vignette: Reporters tell
it about one of the craft who was
assigned down the bay to meet a
liner bringing home troops. ... He
was to particularly interview one
of the heroes. . . . The reporter was
armed with copy paper and pencils,
but wnen he sat at his typewriter
he couldn’t do the story. . . . “I’m
sorry,” he told his city editor, “I
can’t even figure how to get two
paragraphs out of it. I told him
we wanted to do a nice piece about
him being a hero, and this is all I
could get out of him. 7’e said:
‘First we stood and shivered in the
wet. Then we ran like the devil.
There was a heluva noise and then
I heard a nurse say: ‘Drink this,
please’.”
The Big Parade: Wally and Noah,
the cheery Beerys, looking like
Waldorphans as they waited for
cabs in front of that hotel. . . . Ella
Raines, the Hollywood eyeful, cross
ing 51st and L’Avenue des Amer-
iques. . . . Walter Abel raising Cain
with a Sardi’s waiter. . . . Bing
Crosby at the Jerome Kern memo
rial rehearsal as the rumor spread
Ifcat Bing had suddenly passed
away. . . . Hattie Carnegie, the fash-
ionist, looking very chic in creations
of her own. . . . Nancy Carroll and
her former groom, producer Jack
Kirkland, still the best of pals.
Broadwayites suspect the reason
Rita Hayworth’s marriage to Orson
Welles curdled is that he stepped
out of the shower one day and she
forgot to shout: “Bravo!” . . . Ex-
Ambassador Hurley would like the
GOPresidential candidacy, but will
settle for veepee. . . . Hank Green
berg may get the Ford agency in
N. Y. . . . Sec’y of the Navy For-
restal has assigned several smart
intimates around the nation (one is
Clendenin Ryan Jr.) to form civilian
lobbies to fight the army’s unifica
tion plan.

Man in Search of Hotel Room
Applicant.—Can I get a suite?
Clerk.—You’re in the wrong line;
the psycopathic cases are in that

Applicant. — I’m not crazy; I’m
just over-planning.
Clerk—Please stop annoying me.
Applicant. — Very well, I want
to be reasonable . . . I’ll forget the
suite and take a double room with
bath.
Clerk.—You just wish to be real
fair?
Applicant. — That’s it. I might
even consider a single.
Clerk.—For what week next July?
Applicant.—Don’t make it that dif
ficult. I’ve got to have a place to
sleep tonight.
Clerk.—Anybody who sleeps here
tonight has been booked since Pearl
Harbor.
Applicant. — There must have
been somebody cancel since that
time.
Clerk. — There is no such thing
as a cancellation any more. If a
man decides not to come he raffles
off his reservation.

Applicant (confidentially). — Lis
ten, I have a reservation. I wrote
in four months ago.
Clerk.—What was the name?
Applicant.—Eisenhower.
Clerk.—There are 26 Eisenhowers
here now.
Applicant.—Come to think of it,
my name is Chester Bowles.
Clerk. — We have 11 Chester
Bowles, 18 General Marshalls and
7 MacArthurs ahead of you.
Applicant.—You look like a feller
I went to school with back in
Ansonia.
Clerk.—That’s an old one.
Applicant. — How’s your mother?
Clerk.—That’s been tried, too.
Applicant. — What of democ-
cracy? . . . the pursuit of life, lib
erty and indoor sleeping?
Clerk. — Don’t rub it in. I tell
you flatly there are no rooms.
Applicant. — Then why do they
put clerks at these windows?
Clerk. — We’re being DISCI

THOUGHTS IN A
HOUSING CRISIS
The woodchuck now seems smart
to me—
On me he has the laughter:
He digs himself a winter home—
And pulls the thing in after!
I’m even jealous of the skunk—
His odor I’m forgivin’:
I’d gladly smell that way if. I
Could dig a place to live in.
$ $ *
The housing crisis has reached a
point where it is suggested that
“Tenting Tonight” or “Home, Sweet
Home” was an American folk song.
Six Argentina autoisls have com
pleted a trip from Buenos Aires to
New York by automobile over the
Pan American highway, They report
the most disturbing feature of the
trip to have been those constant
cracks, “Hey, where do you think
you’re going?”
• • •
The German general staff ranked
Ike Eisenhower as the greatest mili
tary man on our side, with Patton
the most feared commander in the
field. They reached the conclusion
upon recovering consciousness.
* • *
Elmer Twitchell is writing a book
about congress. Title: “Forever
Yammer.”
• *
Henry Ford is considering an an
nual wage for employees instead of
a weekly one. Under such a plan
a worker will know that there will
be no season of the year when he
will be driving in neutral.
* * *
The Office of Price Stabilization
says the cost of living increase
since January, 1941, has been 33 per
cent. You can tell from this that
it hasn’t tried to buy an apple pie,
a pair of socks, a bathtub faucet or
toy for Junior in all that time.
* * *
Barney Oldfield has remarried the
wife he divorced almost a quarter
of a century ago. The old models
are the best.
• * •
MacArthur’s war criminals hunt
is now so close to the throne that
Emperor Hirohito must feel as if
he were sitting on one of those dis
appearing chairs at Steeplechase
Park.
* * *
There is every indication that
among their New Year resolutions
for 1946 many people took a pledge
to give up working.
* • •
Travel Note
Let grandma tote the suitcase,
Let baby fetch and carry.
For now, alas, the Red Cap
Is purely legendary.
• • •
The sentence imposed on Yama-
shita ends the philosophy of the
Japs that no noose is good news.
One billion, three hundred and
six million dollars were bet on
horses at the tracks this year. This
is not hard to explain: Horses were
the only things not hard to get.

Cake Is a Welcome Treat for Returning Servicemen!
(See Recipe Below)
Welcome Home Parties
If your favorite serviceman is
coming home, either on a furlough
or a discharge,
then you’ll want
to welcome him
home with plenty
of mouth-water
ing cakes and
cookies. These,
among other
things, are the
foods they’ve
been dreaming
about, so plan to
have them in
generous quantity.
What about the shortage of sugar?
There’s no need to worry about that
as long as you can get syrups which
substitute so nicely. If you follow
the recipes exactly as they’re giv
en, the texture and taste will be per
fect. You won’t even miss the sug
ar.
Keep simplicity in mind for these
“Welcome Home” parties. Cake or
cookies, perhaps some ready-made
sandwich fillings in the refrigera
tor, fruit and beverages are all you
will need. There should be no fuss
or bother, just plenty of good food,
served appetizingly.
The following cake is made by
the newer, -shorter method, and can
be done either by hand or with an
electric mixer, if you are lucky
enough to have one. Use the clock
or count accurately when beating.
♦Delicate White Cake.
2 cups sifted cake flour
ZYz teaspoons double-acting baking
powder
*4 teaspoon salt
114 cups sugar
3 egg whites
14 cup vegetable shortening
74 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Sift flc once, measure into sifter
with baking powder, salt and 1 cup
of sugar.
Beat egg whites until foamy. Add
remaining Vi cup sugar gradually,
beating only until the mixture will
hold up in soft peaks. Set aside.
Have shortening at room temper
ature; mix or stir just to soften.
Sift in dry ingredients; add milk and
vanilla and mix until all the flour
is dampened. Then beat 2 minutes.
Add egg white mixture and beat 1
minute longer. (Count only actual
beating time, or beating strokes. Al
low 100 to 150 full strokes per min-
iJ?e. Scrape bowl and beater often.)
Turn batter into two 8-inch layer
pans which have been greased, lined
on the bottoms
with waxed pa
per and greased
again. Bake in
a moderate (375-
degree) oven
about 25 minutes.
Spread prepared
Butterscotch or
Chocolate filling in between layers
and sprinkle top with powdered sug-
Corn Syrup Substitution: Use Vz
cup corn syrup and % cup sugar in
above recipe. Measure Vi cup sug
ar into sifter and use Vi cup sugar
in meringue. Decrease milk 2 ta
blespoons. Combine syrup with
milk and vanilla.
If you prefer icing the cake to
sprinkling powdered sugar, over it,
then you will want a festive Fur
lough Frosting.
Furlough Frosting.
2 egg white..
% teaspoon salt
1 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla

LYNN SAYS:
To Make Soup: Place soup
meat and bones in cold water and
allow to come slowly to the boil
ing point. Soups should be sim
mered slowly to bring out their
full flavor.
A good proportion to use is 1
quart of water to every pound
of bone and meat.
Soup stock will keep several
days in the refrigerator if stored
in freshly scalded jars or pitch
ers. The cake of fat which forms
on top should not be removed until
all the stock has been used. Then
it can be rendered and used for
frying or for the fat salvage.
A good batch of soup stock can
be used for several days. The
first part can be cooked with veg
etables; the second batch with
noodles or rice; and the third
time herbs or dumplings may be
added.
To make clear soup, the white
of 1 egg may be mixed with 1
teaspoon of cold water and boiled
in the soup for 2 minutes. The
crushed egg shell may also be
used before boiling, and removed
by straining through a cheese
cloth.
Beat egg whites with salt until
stiff enough to hold up in peaks but
not dry. Pour syrup in a fine
stream over the egg whites, beating
constantly about 10 to 15 minutes,
or until of the right consistency
to spread. Add vanilla.
Honey Frosting: Use above rec
ipe substituting 1 cup honey for
syrup. Omit vanilla.
When making cookies for the re
turning serviceman, be wise and se
lect recipes that use inexpensive
ingredients but make plenty of good
cookies. Try these, for example;
Mincemeat Refrigerator Cookies.

74 cup shortening

P AUL MUNI and Charles
Rains like the original screen
play, “Angel on My Shoulder”
well enough to want to co-star in
it; Producer Charles Rogers
liked it well enough to pay $60,-
000 for it. It was written by Harry
PAUL MUNI
Segall, who wrote “Here Comes
Mr. Jordan,” so maybe the public
will like it as well as they did that
one. It’s a film fantasy, laid mostly
at the Devil’s estate in Hades. Muni
will play the role of a gangster there,
Rains will be seen as the Devil him
self. Meanwhile, Art Director Herz-
brun is having his troubles; he’s in
vestigating all the conceptions of
Hades which exist today, trying to
decide just what most people think
it looks like.
Want to swap predictions for 1946
with Darryl F. Zanuck? Last year
he said that Jeanne Crain, Vivian
Blaine, June Haver, William Eythe
and Dick Haymes would achieve
stardom within a year. Now he pre
dicts that Mark Stevens, Glenn
Langan, Richard Conte, Nancy
Guild and Rex Harrison are those
most likely to achieve stardom in
Hollywood during the next 12
months.
For months Dick Powell and his
wife, June Allysori, have been look
ing forward to the day when they’d
move into their remodeled Brent
wood home. The work was delayed
and delayed, while the Powells were
evicted from one hotel and apart
ment after another. Came Decem
ber 20, the great day—Dick had to
spend it rehearsing his “Rogue’s
Gallery” broadcast, and June su
pervised the moving alone.
Claudette Colbert plans to spend
the first three months of 1946 in New
York, just resting. During 1945 she
made three pictures; now, with at
tendance at the New York opening
of “Tomorrow Is Forever’’ her
only definite date till Easter, she
hopes to do nothing but catch up with
all the things she’s been wanting to
do for the last four years. But watch
those radio dates bob up!
Joan Davis’ daughter, Beverly
Wills, used to spurn Joan’s bedtime-
story offers, saying, “What! With
that voice?” Now “that voice,”
starred coast to coast Monday
nights on CBS, has the last laugh
on daughter—in the movie, “George
White’s Scandals,” Beverly does a
take-off on Joan as a child. And
Joan’s voice was dubbed in to re
place Beverly’s girlish tones.
It all sounds pretty fantastic, and
nobody could be much more in the
dark about the whole thing than
Hedy Lamarr. The tale is that she
and George Eingfield submitted to
the U. S. government complete de
tails of their own invention of a
steering device for torpedoes, four
years ago. The plans and model
were accepted for investigation,
then nothing more was heard about
it. But just as Hedy was about to
start work in Hunt Stromberg’s
“The Strange Woman,” London
newspapers broke a story about the
invention, inferring that it was one
of the war’s secret weapons. Could
be. But who can be blamed for
thinking it’s just a beautiful dream
of a smart press agent?
Bob Hawk, of “Thanks to the
Yanks,” drew a capacity audience
recently in a rather unorthodox
way. Missing a plane in New Ha
ven, Conn., en route to Boston from
New York, he fell asleep in the air
port waiting room. One hour later
he woke up to find a large audience
of men, women and children watch
ing him—maybe hoping he’d talk In
his sleep and divulge a few answers.
ODDS AND ENDS — Thai tap-tap-tap-
ping you may mistake for added sound ef
fects on “The Theater Guild of the Air” is
Harold Levy beating a baton tattoo on his
music stand to arouse Florence Wightman,
harpist—she becomes so interested in the
play that she sometimes misses her music
cues. . . . On the day when Sidney Black-
mer’s son, Brewster, was born, he received
a fan letter postmarked “Brewster, Oct. 31,
4 P. M.” the exact moment of the baby’s
birth. . . . Michael Curtis interviewed 50
applicants for the role of the four red
headed sons in “Life IFith Father,” just as
a starter. It'll be filmed in technicolor.
