A Nichols' Worth of- Comment On By HARMAN United trw Washington, Feb.- 4 (U.R) You have the word of a senator: "Virginians are bigger and huskier than Texans because Virginia wom enfolks know how to cook black - eyed peas." Sen. A. Wil lis Robertson o f Lexington stood up, drummed his chest and sub mitted himself as a towering example. The democrat from Harmon Nichols Virginia is 6 feet 2V inches tall and said that his son is the same height and weighs more than 200 pounds. Robertson was the host in what was logged as the "second round of the black-eyed peas battle." On January 19, Rep. Lindley Beckworth of Gladewater, Tex., pitched a luncheon and served, as a side dish, Texas black-eyed peas flown from the Lone Star state. Beckworth at the time pronounced his peas "unexcelled of course." Yesterday, Robertson replied in kind with a luncheon for Beckworth and Senator Tom Connally ((D., Tex.). It was listed as a "contest" but there was no decision. Robertson said his peas were furnished by Henry Taylor of Walkerton, Va., "one of the best pea-growers in the nation." Not Bashful In Praise The big, graying gentleman from Virginia wasn't bashful in his praise of the black-eyed peas produced in his state. "Of course," said the senator, "we must recognize the fact that no black-eyed pea can rise above the quality of its chef. That, prin cipally, is where the Virginia product excells. Virginia house wives know the flavoring quali ties of Smithfield cured hog jowl and that flavoring is deft ly added to Virginia peas." Robertson seemed amazed to learn that everybody in the world did not know that corn bread made of "flinty white corn ground on a stone slowly turned by water power" makes a fine "with it" for black-eyed peas. "In the summer,' he added, "of course you serve good old corn pone, made of nothing but meal with salt and water and cooked quickly in a hot oven and eaten while steaming hot. In the late winter and early spring the Virginia housewife serves tender, succulent turnip greens with black-eyed peas and corn bread accompanied by freshlv churned buttermilK, as cool as the dew on white clover j and speckled with yellow but-1 ter as though it had been i sprinkled with gold dust. In sum- j mer, the accompanying vegeta- j bles are stewed tomatoes with bread crumbs and sugar, plus I corn puddin' rich with cream." i At his luncheon, the Virginian dished up peas cooked his way and the Texas way. ! Hog Jowl Used He announced to his guests that he hoped "my Texas friends ; will not think I am taking un-1 fair advantage of the Texas j growers if I slipped a little hog jowl in with the peas. That's ! the wav we do it at home, where ! we produce the best black-eyed j peas in the world." , As a teaser, the senator passed out saucers of Texas peas. 1 ail PARK VIEW NURSING HOME 906 West Main Sieet Medford, Oregon Phone 2-6938 Completely equipped Nuning Home for chronic nd convalescents.

NICHOLS Feature Writer "These," he said, "are prepared with a piece of white bacon. You can smell the difference; you can taste the difference." He invited comment. There was a loud slupping of peas around the table as the guests from Texas gave the two dishes an "honest test." Then' the man from Virginia got his comment. Enjoyed Meal It came from Beckworth, who admitted he had enjoyed his meal, and thanked his colleague for same. "But, senator," he said, "you mention hog jowl and you men tion white bacon. You use the jowl; we use the bacon. But the last time I looked, both jowl and bacon came from the hog. Could it be the same hog?" The luncheon adjourned. Musicians Survive Playjng Of Symphony Los ''Angeles, Feb. 4 tU.R) The 88 members of the Los An geles Philharmonic orchestra emerged from a performance of Tschaikowsky's "Death Sym phony" today all alive. Defying the superstition that the pathetique symphony is fatal to its players, the orchestra planned to present it again at a matinee today. "I told them before the con cert," Conductor Artur Rodzin ski said, "that if anyone drops dead it will be me." And Rodzinski took a fond look at pictures of his wife and son in his dressing room before he went on stage last night. But he said he felt fine when the 42-minute piece was over. "Any calls for the under taker?" a stagehand-cracked dur ing intermission. There weren't. An aura of suberstition sur rounds the music from which was taken the popular song "This Is the Story of a Starry Night." Tschaikowski wrote it with a foreboding of death and died a few weeks after finishing it. Some English orchestras refuse to play it because of frequent deaths coincident with it.

Generous Answer Given To Appeal The peoplefof Medford and vicinity certainly rise to a cause in humanitarian spirit," a com munity service Red Cross worker said Saturday in telling of the results of the plea made last week through the Mail Tribune for a needy family. The response was "overwhelming" according to the worker, who also said that everything given was in "splen did condition." Among the fixtures and fur niture are a washing machine, electric iron, cooking and heat ing stoves, kitchen and dining tables, beds, mattresses, cooking utensils, dishes and a high chair. Clothes given for the emer gency clothes closet at Red Cross headquarters were, she said, "a wonderful collection all clean so many baby things and good heavy winter clothing for both children and adults." Find House The house which the family of 11 had expected to move into did not materialize because of the number of children in the family. However, an eight-room house has been acquired and the family will move into it tomor row. In the meantime collections of furniture could not be made but will be picked up Monday. Two other families whose homes have burned recently are also being helped by the com munity service of the Red Cross and if there should be any sur plus from the collections, it will be used for them. The worker also stressed that there are still other things needed, especially bedding. OPERATION BAKER Grand Rapids, Mich.

But they guard Llfts I llko "ie hydr S , ti en bomb' " ... . . ......... say they were the first to know Clark Gable was get ling serious -about Lady Sylvia Stanley, and they have some pretty hot tips on other celebrated cooings too, "Columnists keep proposition ing us for a pipeline into our place for gossip," Fred Levy, president of the swank Blum's candy shop, said. "But our ethics are as high as a doctor's. We don't tell a thing until after it's in the papers." Now that everybody knows that Gable eloped with the love ly Lady Sylvia, he can divulge that Gable was in every week before the marriage ordering a $35 box of candy. "They surprised everybody," he said, "but us." Bought Hamper The Peter Lawford-Sharnian Douglas whirl seems pretty pro mising, by the candy barometer. After beauing her around Holly wood, Lawford bought Sharman a bon voyage hamper when she left for the family ranch in Ari zona. The candy shop got the first flash when Attorney Greg Baut zer switched from Joan Craw ford to Ginger Rogers. "They were sipping sodas at cur fountain long before the columns had them a twosome," Manager Jack Scligman said. . . and ""T(S:or.r Hollej wn rating, Dcnii wai bW-tyed, Sunday, February S, 1930 HOLLYWOOD MacPHCRSON Carnipoadaiii "She's a girl who likes sodas, even has a fountain at home to make her own." Bautzer usually buys her a chocolate assortment before they leave, he added. Merger Not News The Marilyn Maxwell -Andy Mclntyre merger wasn't any news to Scligman either. Mc lntyre dropped by months ago to ask what Marilyn's favorite candy was. They told him chocolate-covered nuts. "She got 'em by the ton from then on, he said. Roddy McDowell drops In for an occasional soda with Ann Blyth. "We sold him the box of candy he took to his first date with her," he said. "Doesn't look as if there's anything serious there yet, but we're keeping a close rye on It." Duff Unpredictable Howard Duff is the most un predictable customer. "He's buying for one gal one day," Scligman said, "another the next." One of the hottest current items is young Nick Hilton's courtship of Elizabeth Taylor, and Salesgirl Betty Field" says she can trace his progress by the kind of candy he buys. "He started with the adven ture box." she said, "and now he's switched to bouquet. A bigger assortment." Savings in the United States in 1949 approximated 200 bil lion dollars.
