FROSTY FOODS FOR SUMMER
(Recipes Below)
When you’re "eating out," and
you wonder what to order for the
grand finale of your meal, how often
do you decide on a delicious sound
ing parfait? There’s something very
special about this tall, imposing and
delectable dessert. And there real
ly is no reason at all why having
parfaits for dessert should be con
fined to our "eating out” days, A
parfait may be a culinary creation,
but with modern ice cream freez

sherbets too, and serve them with
cookies or dainty cakes. You’ll

By LEMUEL F. PARTON
(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.!
NEW YORK.—J. B. Priestly and
the U. S. A. got along nicely
together until his play "Time and the
Conways.” began to make trouble
•Voice of England’
Takes Jab at Our Priestly went
RadioCommenters metaphysi
cal and con
jured time into fourth dimentional
unreality. Perhaps because they had
long felt the urgency and reality of
a newspaper deadline, the AmerL
can dramatic critics didn't quite gff
It and scored the play as just so-so
and "maybe not even that. Mr.
Priestly said they were rude and
boorish about it and challenged not
only their time sense, but their sense
of propriety and their fitness for
their Jobs.
That must have gone deeply
under Mr. Priestly's skin, since,
as the "Voice of England” at a
moment when time, at any rate
seems to be real, he takes a
short-wave, short Jab at radio
commentators in this country.
He thinks that "people who are
not prepared to fight anything,
anywhere” should mind their
manners and not belittle others
who can and will fight. While
that may not necessarily make
"Time and the Conways” a good
play, it reveals Mr. Priestly,
and no doubt England, as ready
to meet all comers, and that
seems all to the good.
This reporter, having once talked
with Mr. Priestly, can testify that
he has a nice smile. While his esti
mate of our present or potential
belligerency may have been some
what tactless, in his novels and
magazine articles he has shown
much more sound discernment of
the American scene than the writ
ings of certain other visiting Brit
ons, who kiss and run and there
after engage in long-distance smear
ing. He, at any rate, said his say
while he was here.
Mr. Priestly, 46 years old, took
honors in literature and history at
Cambridge, went to London from his
native Yorkshire and found the lit
erary ladder just an escalator.
His novel, "The Good Companions,”
was his first big success. This read
er thought there was deep insight
in his "Midnight in the Desert,”
written after his stay in Arizona,
with his family. In his routine
short-wave address, he stresses the
common cultural ties of England
and America, without being oily
about it and has seemed to this hear
er an effective special pleader. But
he does seem to look on our critics
as alien parachute-jumpers, or even
something less admirable.

a magazine
article of 1934 about Lieut. Gen. Eiki
Tojo of Japan, in which it is made
clear that he is typical of the head
strong army caste, sure to destroy
itself, and that quickly.
But here today is General Tojo
named war minister in the new army
cabinet which seems bent on de
stroying anybody or anything rather
than itself. In the short view, at
least, the dinosaurs of totalitarian
ism are subject to laboratory obsen
vation—but only in the short view,
close to a deadline.
Little is known about General
Tojo in this country, but avail
able data indicate that his rise
to power will not be reassuring
to those who look for peaceful,
pleasant solutions of world dis
cord. His betes noir are the
U. 8. A. and Russia.
Like Pericles of Greece, he ad
vanced himself by kicking up war
scares. He agrees with the doc
trine of Adolf Hitler, expounded in
“Mein Kampf," that all alliances
are push-overs and that the only
tough and durable nation is the one
that stands alone. He is smart,
hard-boiled, resourceful and con
temptuous of theories, sentiments,
and negotiations. He is of an un
reconstructed feudal family, and has
been in the army since his early
youth.
Stubby, bespectacled little Yo

foreign minister, is cut out of

CARTER FIELD
—
Carter Field says W illkie
must carry New York and
Illinois, or break the Solid
South... Unknown quanti
ties may decide the presi
dential battle.
(Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.)
WASHINGTON.—This campaign
will further twist the already ragged
party lines in this country. “Cotton
Ed” Smith and Edward R. Burke of
Nebraska have already followed A1
Smith, John W. Davis and Jim Reed
who "walked” in 1936 and haven’t
come back. But it will take a pow
erful lot of walking to cut Roosevelt
down to “size” when one remembers
that 46 to 2 margin in 1936.
To have a chance to win, Willkie
must carry New York and Illinois,
E. R. Burke
or else oreax me
Solid South. Even
with New York and
Illinois he must car
ry every other state
north of the Mason
and Dixon line and
east of the Mississip
pi. And this includes
Wisconsin.
The Solid South
and border states
have 149 electoral
votes. If Roosevelt
carries them, and
also carries Illinois, West Virginia,
New York, California, plus the three
little states of Arizona, Nevada and
New Mexico, and Washington, he
will have 272 electoral votes, six
more than enough to elect! On
form, all the states mentioned are
heavily Democratic. All went heavi
ly Democratic in 1938, a year of
sharp Republican gains. Note that
this leaves out Montana, Minnesota,
the Dakotas, Utah, Colorado, Ne
braska, Kansas, Iowa, Wyoming,
Oregon and Idaho!
Willkie can carry every one of
this last list, plus all New England
apd all the states from the Missis
sippi to the Atlantic north of Mary
land and Kentucky, with the excep
tion of Illinois and New York, and
still lose!
SOUTH MUTTERS
The South is muttering against
Roosevelt. There is no doubt ol
that. But it is not sound judgment
to figure on any electoral votes
there. So it boils down to this, that
Willkie must carjy New York or be
defeated.
Meanwhile Roosevelt and the ad
ministration, with the strategic ad
vantage so clearly with them, may
be counted on to play as safely as
possible. This means that from now
until November, for example, no ac
tion by the government may be ex
pected to upset the continued im
provement in business due to huge
armament orders—and expected or
ders. Roosevelt found this policy
highly successful in 1936, when busi
ness was improving. There is no
reason to vary it.
Both parties will continue to make
war medicine—for ballots, not guns
—in congress. The Republicans
plan to keep it dragging along.
They want to ride herd on the Pres
ident, to create the impression that
only their restraining influence will
keep him from some overt act which
would plunge us into war. But also
they want to put the administration
on record as resisting any changes
in the various bureaus and agencies,
notably the NLRB, which they insist
are hampering business.
FEARED THIRD PARTY
President Roosevelt’s scrapping—
before the ink was dry—of the war
issue plank in the Democratic plat
form he himself had dictated, clears
the way for a campaign on purely
domestic issues. The purpose of the
weasel words—to prevent Burt
Wheeler and Champ Clark from
starting a third party—had been ac
complished. Now the President
stands on his record, just a little
bit more belligerent toward Ger
many and Japan than Willkie, agree
ing with him precisely on all pos
sible legal aid to Britain, and four
square with the Republican nominee
on increasing our national defense
to the utmost.
ON DOMESTIC ISSUES
The lines of the campaign on do
mestic issues will be fairly simple.
Willkie will insist that the present
administration has demonstrated its
inefficiency and extravagance, and
hence cannot be trusted to produce
the taxpayers’ money’s worth in
spending billions on the army and
navy. He will NOT attack the “so
cial advances” and New Deal objec
tives for the benefit of the underdogs
but insist that their administration
should be intelligent, and particular
ly that there should not be barn
burnings to get rid of rats.
Roosevelt and the New Dealers
will harp on their accomplishments
in social reform, and insist that to
turn the government over to the “in
terests” would mean to wreck them.
They will say that whatever Willkie’s
personal views, he will be as help
less as Harding and Hoover to pre
vent sordid Wall street-controlled
throttling of the little business man,
the consumers, and all the rest of it.
And they will ring the changes on
the notion of a W’all street utility
holding company executives in the
White House.

“Why isn’t Bill Jones at work

one Monday.
“He met with an accident at
his wedding on Saturday,” said
one of his mates.
“Accident?”
“Yes. As he and his missus left
the church, some of the lads made
an archway of picks for them to
pass under. Somebody blew a
whistle, and the whole lot downed
tools.”
Light housekeeping is said to be

Nicely Said and Honest
“George, tell me the truth. Am I
the first girl you’ve ever loved?”
“N-no, but I’m a lot harder to please
than I used to be.”
Just the Reverse
At a reception the woman chatted for
some time with the distinguished guest.
One of the listeners complimented her.
“Oh, really ," she said with a smile,
“I’ve just been concealing my ignor

“Not at all, not at all, my dear lady.
Quite the contrary, l assure you."
