Randall Jarrell, critic and author, thinks it's time people in
trend. Other ages and other places venerated wisdcgn, Mr. Jar
rell says," but in the United States "when politicians attack or
make fun of men like Dean Acheson they use again and again,
as one of their most effective points against him, the lact that he
' has gone to Harvard. Can anyone imagine their Ijglish or
French or German counterparts being able to use Oxford, the
Sorbonne or Heidelberg in this way?"
Mr. Jarrell, writing in an article in the January "Mademoi
selle," points to the philosopher Diogenes, who lived in a tub in
the market place of Athens Jont was visited by Alexander the
a. TTTt T 3 T 4 ' 4 - 1 T J - 1 "

if there was anything he could do for him. "Yes," sail Diogenes,
"you can get out of my light."
Writing further about the current "passion for ignorance"
Mr. Jarrell says the cattitude3 is net confined to politicians and
told how his young daughter insisted one of her classmates was
odd and different. When asked to explain she answered "Lots of
ways. He wears corduroys instead of jeans." To which Author
Jarrell says "Forgive us each day our corduroys."
Mr. Jarrell concludes that intellectuals are just plain Ameri
cans and that we're all intellectuals about something. "If you're
one about salmon-fishing, why look with resentful distrust at
somebody who's one about quartets or Sanskrit."

the most popular is a sort of coffee and mik shade with vertical
stripes. Then there is the garter snake stocking iwithglong yellow
stripes and here and there a touch of brown or black.
"Chocolate and coffee shades bearing blotches and spots, pat
terned after the markings of the water moccasin and other reptiles
which do not go in for stripes, also are in demand."

Egg Eating Spree Requested
By Government in January
BY VINCENT J. BURKE
O Uniitd Press Correspondent
Washington U.R) Starting
today, the government wants
you to go on a 31-day egg eating
spree.
Reasons: Hens are flooding
the markets with a record
smashing supply. Production is
increasing seasonally. And the
poultry industry is worried
about finding a market for all
the eggs even at today's low
prices.
Farm prices for eggs have
dropped one-third during the
past year. Producers don't relish
the prospect of still lower prices,
lis Egg Month
So an industry - government
campaign was officially
launched Saturday to persuade
you and other consumers that
"January is Egg Month" and
your diet should be adjusted, ac
cordingly. Noting that egg industry lead
ers haven't asked the e govern
ment to set a floor price through
price support buying, Secretary
oi Agriculture Ezra x. Benson
says the least consumers can do
is eat a lot of eggs' to help out"
ine egg-eating campaign, he
says, should get "every possible
assistance from consumers." He
has ordered department officials
in the field to give the campaign
a plug, wherever and whenever
they can.
A special promotional bro
chure put out by the Agricul
ture Department says:
"Besides being friendly to
your budget, eggs are friendly
to youthey make an excellent
contribution to your nutritive
needs ..."
Agriculture officials predict
that egg production this month
probably will be about 270,000,
000 more eggs than last Janu
ary's record supply.
The government revealed yes
terday it soon will take about
72,000,000 eggs off the market.
The Agriculture Department
said it would buy up 2,000,000
pounds of eggs in dried form
for distribution to the national
school lunch program.

wipe the bottom of the pan with
a bit of butter or margarine be
