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

"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.

Heart Specialist
To Open Practice
Dr. Ray L. Casterline, a cardi
ologist and internist, announced
Saturday that he will open a
specialized practice here in those
two fields. His office, 210 Fluhr
er building, he shares with Dr.
Edwin R. Durno, although the
two physicians are not associated
in practice.
Dr. Caslerline, a native of
Aberdeen, Wash., was graduated
from Northwestern university.
Evanston, 111., and from the uni
versity's medical school. His resi
dence was in internal medicine
at the Passavant Memorial hos
pital at the same medical school,
where he also held a William
Holmes fellowship in medicine.
In Navy
His wartime service was with
the naval reserve, and he was
engaged in the control of epi
demic diseases, including scar
let fever and rheumatic fever.
Following his discharge from the
navy, he was associated with the
veterans administration nospuai
in Portland, and for the past two
years has been associated with
Dr. Homer P. Rush, Portland
cardiologist.
His memberships include the
Oregon State Medical society,
the American Heart association
and the state affiliate, and the
committee on heart disease of the
state medical society, to which
he was recently appointed. He is
a fellow of the American Medi
cal association.
Dr. Casterline is married and
the father of three sons. The
family residence is at 1310
Ridgeway.
Idle Workers Exceed
First of Last Year
Medford's number of idle
workers the first of 1950 exceed
ed that of the same time in 1949
by 250, according to figures from
the state employment service.
The service reported that Med
ford had 2,250 unemployed the
first of this year compared with
2,000 the first of 1949. The pres
ent unemployment figure in
cludes 350 women.
Other southern Oregon cities,
Klamath Falls and Grants Pass,
reported fewer unemployed Jan
uary 1 this year than last year.
Roseburg showed about the same
increase in the number of laid
off workers as Medford.
In ancient days, saffron was
considered so valuable that only
royally was permitted to possess
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.

some pretty hot tips on other
celebrated cooings too,
"Columnists keep proposition

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

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."

After beauing her around Holly

a bon voyage hamper when she

flash when Attorney Greg Baut

Merger Not News
The Marilyn Maxwell -Andy
Mclntyre merger wasn't any
news to Scligman either. Mc

to ask what Marilyn's favorite
candy was. They told him chocolate-covered
nuts.
"She got 'em by the ton from

Roddy McDowell drops In for
an occasional soda with Ann

"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."
