Airs. America Bakes Her Own Cookies; Spanks Her Kiddies By BARMAN W. NICHOLS (Unltad Preu Staff Correipondtntl Washington, Sept. 21 UJU After a week or more of covering Miss America at Atlantic City, it was a comfort to know this: that the Mrs. America, who is, of course married, bakes her own cookies and spanks her own younguns when they need it. The Mrs. A. Is Mrs. Betty Eileen McAllister of Johnstown, Pa. Her husband is an advertising man and between them they have two kids, a girl, 5, and boy. aged 3. Betty, a pretty blonde with whom I had lunch, wonders if she can afford to be Mrs. Ame rica. She got all kinds of dresses and coats, a portable dish-wash' er, a TV set, a set of sterling sil ver, a fine diamond ring, and a lot of other stuff. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll have to pay tax on all of that. The tax won't be cheap. The regular percentage. She came there to look over the capital as a guest of the National Assoc! ation of Home Builders. "Miss America," said the pret ty Betty, "has It pretty easy. She can take a year off from what ever she's doing and tour the country. Or maybe the world. Me, I'm neglecting my husband and the kids when I take as much as a month off." Betty thinks that maybe she will get some of her tax money back on the many things she won by "writing" a column for news syndicate. "I won't tell you what they are going to pay me, but I won't get hurt financially," she said. "I plan to be real wlfey about It and give the women of the country some fine recipes and advice about how to raise chil dren. I have a couple of dandles and whacking them once in awhile is in the program I plan to write about." The new Mrs. America, who was crowned not long ago at Asbury Park, N.J., weighs in at 113 pounds. She is six pounds lighter than Yolande Betbeze, of Alabama, the new Miss America, who sings Instead of cooks. Mrs. America has a 34 bust, compared to a 35 for Yolande. Mrs. A's waist is 24, and her hips are 35. She wears IH shoe. Aside from the bust, the two just about measure up. Betty's husband, Will, is a naval reserve, and may be called any minute. The Mrs. Mama of the country will sit by the fire and mind the young, if he has to go. Mrs. America Betty McAl lister hasn't received any real movie offers, although she has had a few nibbles. She wouldn't bite even if she had a big offer, she said. "I've got cookies to bake and clothes to wash," she said. "You see," she added, "I have no mnld." Butty's long suit or talent as they call it in Atlantic City Is baking. Her specialty: Ice box pie. if you girls want to write it down: Take some glngersnaps. Smear same with whipping cream, a layer of cream between each "snap." Put In the ice box overnight. Gosh, Bettyl My 11-year-old kid has been doing that since she was seven and she never thought of competing for a Miss or Mrs. Anything contest. If you'll excuse the expression!

V. Simpson. Simpson, executive vice-president of the West Coast Lumber men's association, said lack of cars is cutting fir lumber pro duction by 60,000,000 feet a week. In a statement to the press, Simpson said the country's class 1 railroads "have been selling the American economy short ever since the end of World War II." (Criticism of rail lines for the car shortage has been heard fre quently, especially in the Ore gon lumber-producing region. Rep. Norblad, R-Ore.) has intro duced a bill in congress asking that the government build up a pool of government-owned rail cars for allocation to short-supply regions.) Simpson said that in the year ended July 31 the class 1 roads retired 90,546 old freight cars and had put only 40,171 nevt ones into service for a loss of over 50,000. In the week ended Sept. 2, he said, the over-all shortage of cars in the country was running at the rate of 200,000 a week. - He said the Oregon lumber industry was hardest hit and in recent weeks had been getting only 30 per cent of the cars need ed.
