Reviewing The New Books

By UNITED PRESS Last summer a scholarly publication called Foreign Affairs, a quarterly which appears in a few thousand copies, sold out on every news stand in the country. The reason was that it contained an article called "The Sources of Soviet Conduct," signed simply by someone who called himself "X." Mr. "X" was rather quickly revealed as George Kennan, the head of the new State Department planning board established by Secretary George C. Marshall. The first major challenge to the theses of Mr. "X"'s now appear in The Cold War, by Walter Lippmann (Harper, $1). Mr. "X" believes that the Soviet Union contains within itself the seeds of its own disintegration-a thesis startlingly similar to that advanced by Karl Marx regarding the capitalist state. He believes Russia should be contained by force applied around her perimeter. Lippman challenges this. He thinks we should try to contain Russia but he is not so sure that Russia contains the germ of selfdestruction. And he is positive that we should base our opposition not on weak peripheral states like Turkey, Iran and Greece-but upon comparatively strong states in western Europe, such as France and Britain. This argument is likely to continue for some time. Whether either thesis is correct or will bring permanent peace to the world is a question which is not touched upon either by Mr. Lippman or Mr. "X." * * * Robert W. Marks' The Story of Hypnotism (Prentice-Hall, $3) covers the subject from Mesmer to Freud. Considered as well are some of the types of mental epidemics of the last two thousand years, and an examination of the physical nature of hypnotism. Marks declares that hypnotism is "induced infantalism." Viewing the modern instruments of mass suggestion, he weels that social hypnosis, group pressure, manifests the great danger latent in hypnosis. Hence, he implies that "ultimate social security lies not in organization, but anarchy-the withering away of the secular state. For to the degree that men are free, unaffiliated individualists, to that degree are they unaffected by winds of enchantment which blow ancient blood lusts from archaic caves."

Tea for Two's Okay Later, But Java's No. 1 Eye Opener

(Continued From Page One) United Nations, the Chinese ambassador to Belgium and a number of other Chinese diplomats will visit Coral Gables this Saturday night at a dinner to launch the new store of the importing firm of Ho Chung Inc., which will be located at 315 Miracle Mile. Dr. P. W. Tsou, chief delegate to the Food and Agriculture committee of the UN, will meet a number of Gables citizens at the dinner, which will be held at the San Sebastian. Other Chinese diplomats who have been invited are V. S. King, ambassador to Belgium, Dr. D. K. Lieu, commerce attachee to the Chinese embassy and the head of China's tariff commission, F. Chang. More Opportunity Coral Gables was chosen as the site for the first retail store to be opened by the Ho Chung firm in the United States. The company officers visited a number of U.S. cities and chose the Gables because they found more opportunity for their products and more cooperation from business and civic leaders here. The Ho Chung store will be the only one operated directly by a Chinese importer in Southern Florida. Mrs. Gum will operate the store here while her husband, How Leo Gum, will attend to the company's wholesale business here. The new store here will stock only imported tea, all bearing the Ho Chung brand. There will be Oolong and Formosa teas and also Jasmine tea, which contains just enough jasmine to give the drink extra fragrance. The company will also wholesale its product to Chinese restaurants so diners-out will have a chance to sip the real thing. Art to Be Shown The store here will be a cultural as well as a gastronomic center, with several exhibitions by Chinese painters lined up and a number of lectures by Chinese authorities in the offing. Other rare Chinese items which will be stocked are embroidered mandarin jackets, suitable for ladies' evening wear; ivory cigarettes holders, porcelain dishes, carved teakwood furniture and Chinese jewelry. Mrs. Chung after only three months in this city, is pretty sure she'll like Coral Gables. "The people here have time to stop on the rtreet and say hello to you. Everyone is so friendly," she says. "It's a lot different from New York City."

"One-Woman" Publisher Puts Out Newspaper

DAWSONVILLE, Ga. (UP)-Mrs. B. H. Howard, "one-woman" publisher of the Dawson County Advertiser, believes she may be the only female publisher of a country weekly in the nation, who still sets all her type by hand. She is publisher, editor, writer, typesetter, printer, advertising manager and circulation manager of the paper, which has just celebrated its 60th anniversary. Mrs. Howard, who started newspapering as a child, has operated the weekly for the past 36 years. She composes news items without copy as she sets the type, puts them in the form herself, runs off the papers and mails them to her customers. Mrs. Howard inherited the paper from her father, the late Confederate Capt. John B. Thomas. She began setting type in his print shop when she was nine years old. She says she gleans her news items "just by talking to my neighbors."

A Florida school publication, "A Guide To Child Development Through the School Years," has been chosen by the U. S. Office of Education for overseas distribution.

Carnegie Letter Tells Secret of Success

ITHACA, N. Y. (UP)-The late Andrew Carnegie, millionaire steel manufacturer, attributed his rise partly to an ability to use other men's brains. Cornell University has acquired a letter written by Carnegie to a college professor in 1888. "I could not be of any use talking to the young men upon either of the two subjects you mention," the letter reads. "I am neither mechanic of engineer, nor am I scientific. I seem to have had a knack of utilizing those that do know more than myself."

Slipshod Cooking Methods Can Wreak Waste in Meat

Slipshod, out-of-date cooking methods can wreak much waste in meat. It's an irony of the cooking department that one may go to market, choose the choicest cut of meat, and then shrink and dry it by poor cooking methods to much less than it might have yielded in goodness and value. On the other hand, the less-tender cuts can be cooked to perfect, juicy tenderness when one knows how to coax their happiest flavor and texture by good cooking. Poor cooking, too, can impair the fine food values which meat brings to the diet. Those food values, as every nutrition-minded cook knows, are complete high quality protein, the B vitamins and essential minerals which make meat a foundation food in the diet. Research laboratories have long been at work on the most scientific methods of cooking meat so that neither bulk nor nutrition is sacrificed. Good books have translated their findings into simple rules for modern meat cookery. Here are the latest meat conserving methods for you to follow for fullest economy, flavor and nutrition when cooking meat: Roasting Roasting is cooking by dry heat; no liquid or moisture of any kind is added. 1. Wipe meat with a clean damp cloth. Meat should not be washed or allowed to lie in water. 2. Season meat with salt and pepper. 3. Insert meat thermometer so that the center of the bulb reaches the center of the largest muscle. Thermometer should not rest in fat or on bone. 4. Place roast fat side up on rack in open roasting pan. Do not baste. Do not add water. Do not cover. 5. Place beef, veal, lamb and smoked pork in slow oven (300-325F.) and fresh pork in moderate oven (325-350F.). Roast to desired degree of doneness. (Note: It has been found that the old-fashioned method of an initial high temperature in roasting meat shrinks the roast and drives out the juice instead of retaining them, as was formerly believed.) Broiling Panbroiling is the third of the dry heat cookery methods. 1. Preheat heavy frying-pan or griddle. 2. Do not add fat or water. Do not cover. 3. Brown meat on both sides. 4. Reduce heat and cook slowly until done, turning meat from time to time so that it will cook evenly. Pour off fat as it accumulates in the pan. 5. Test doneness by making gash with small knife near to bone or by inserting a meat thermometer in center of the steak or chop. Braising Braising is a moist heat cookery method. Moist heat will soften connective tissue and therefore make less tender meat cuts tender and palatable. 1. Season meat with salt and pepper. 2. "Dredge" (or sprinkle) with flour, if desired. 3. Brown meat on all sides in a little hot fat. 4. Add small amount of liquid, if necessary. If liquid cooks away, a little more may be added. 5. Cover tightly. 6. Cook at simmering temperature on top of range or in moderately low oven (325F.) until tender. Simmering 1. Cover meat with water. The meat should be covered so that all of it is cooked at the same temperature. 2. Season with salt and pepper, if required. Spices and herbs or flavor vegetables may be added. 3. Cover and simmer gently until done. Do not boil. 4. If vegetables are to be cooked with the meat, add just long enough before the meat is tender to be done.

Three Crops Are Possible With Barbados Cherry Tree

Imagine harvesting a crop of fruit from a grove, find it in flower again within a matter of the first crop and then have another months after the first crop has been incredible don't be too surprised for find yourself with a third crop, appearing after the second one is harvested. You may not be interested in setting out a grove of Barbados Cherries (Malpighia glabra) but if you have a mature plant in your garden you will have fruit enough to supply your family with a good portion of their jelly needs for the year as well as having a handsome evergreen ornamental shrub. Specimen shrubs of the Barbados Cherry are producing their second crop of the season at the Fairchild Tropical Garden in Coral Gables.
