Fight Over 'Fair Deal' May
Bring Top Battle in Congress
By FRANCIS M. LE MAY
Washington. Dec. 21 OP! Republican cries of "socialism" in
Washington, while President Truman Hexed his program at
Key West, are heralding what may be the most interesting strug
gle in the new session of congress.
The reconvening of congress two weeks hence will signal the
nt trim fnf till
in congress ine i&sue is uuunu
to be cut clear for the congres
sional elections next year and
for the presidential campaign in
1952. k
The struggle with the pub
lic a sideline spectator until bal
loting time rolls around may
be fought on at least five fronts.
These sectors are Mr. Truman's
proposals for:
1. A vast expansion of the
federal social security program.
2. A federal plan of health in
surance that the opposition dubs
"socialized medicine."
3. An expansion of the gov
ernments housing program.
Ostrich Egg Omelette Gets
Try-out; Harry Non-Committal
By WILMAM LESLIE
St. Augustine, Fla., Dec. 21 u.R President Truman may or
Vmay not have eaten ostr'ch egg omelette during his Key West
vacation. He wouldn't say. But if he didn't, he missed something.
Tt xnnil T Irnniu T dId cnm.
Ever since Mr. Truman received four of the cantaloup-sized
eggs from St. Augustine ostrich
man Jim Casper, the world has
waited for report on how the
huge henfruit tastes in an ome
lette. The president was reticent.
He would say only through
an administrative assistant
that the eggs were "very much
enjoyed" at K e y West. But
newsmen couldn't find out if he
had fun eating them or just
looking at them.
So, wanting to fill the void
left by the president's non-comment
on ostrich eggs, we asked
Chef Pete Lovell of the Alham
bra hotel here to whip up a spe
cial "ostrich egg omelette a la
Truman" for me and 12 other
guests of Casper, the ostrich
man.
First Lovell knocked the huge
egg against the side of the table
It took quite a healthy whack to
break It. Ostrich egg shells are
strong.
But it broke, and the contents
tumbled out. The msides
sembled a giant chicken egg.
The yolk was about the size of a
baseball
Using a three-quart pan, the
chef added a little beer and
some Alhambra sauce, made
with his secret recipe. The Pan
soon overflowed.
So Lovell transferred the
mixture to three hotel-sized fry
ing pans and cooked it for eight
minutes.
The result was fluffy, light,
golden and inviting-looking. It
made three omelettes which
measured a yard long (end to
end) and six inches wide.
It was good, much the same as
a regular omelette. If anything
it was a little sweeter and
creamier and not the slightest
bit "gamey."
Ostrich egg omelette would be
a nice dish when you have 13
guests for breakfast sometime.
If you can afford it, that is.
When you can get them, ostrich
eggs come at $120 a dozen.

To Make Drive
Chicago, Dec. 21 u.R The
mother of Patty Owens, 4, who
died of a rare disease Dec. 7
after she was returned from
California to spend her "last
Christmas" here, says she will
campaign for years if necessary
to set up a fund to aid children
suffering from the same ailment.
Mrs. Marguerite Owens, 30,1
said today she was disappointed
by a telephone report from her
husband, Robert, that he could
find no interest in the "Patty
Owens Memorial Fund' when he
returned to Sunnyvale.
They had understood from
news reports, she said, that spon
sors of the fund intended an
all-out campaign to finance re
search into the fibrocystic dis
ease of the lungs and pancreas
which killed Patty.
They also believed, she said
marshalling
conflict. The house and senate
face decisions on what Mr. Tru
man calls the "fair deal" and
the opposition assails as the
blueprint for a "welfare slate"
or "poor house state."
that funds would be raised to
aid families who otherwise could
not afford expensive medical
care needed in such cases.
"We don't want any of the
money," she said. "We just want
to see that the fund gets started
in earnest so it can help people.
"But now that Pattys dead,"
she said, "they'll probably do
nothing."
4. A new farm program.
5. Federal aid to education. 1
Perhaps the biggest fight of all
will settle on taxes, when con
gress gets to considering how
the government is going to pay
for the things it is being called
upon to do.
The administration opposition
already is booming for slashes in
spending, to thwart any tax
boosts. There may be actual cuts
in excises.
It is expected that Mr. Tru
man will start a new drive for
his controversial domestic pro
gram in the state of the union
message to congress January 4
or 5.
The program attained only
limited objectives in the first
session of the democrat-controlled
81st congress. Mr, Tru
man, ending his -Florida vaca
tion, returns to Washington to.
