Senator Cooks as Hobby;
Has Uncluttered Kitchen
Br HOSE McKEE
Washington (CPU The hob-;
by of Sen. Allen J. Ellender
(D-La.), is cooking, but you
would never know it walking
into his kitchen after he has
served a three-course dinner.
For the cook among the
Senate's members achieves
what most women always in
tend to do but never quite
bring off. He washes all pots,
pans and other utensils even
down to a paring knife, as
he cuts, stirs, and smells.
What's more, he. washes the
dishes as they come from the
table between courses.
Senator Ellender was asked
by the National Association
of Home Builders what a man
who cooks considers essential

in a kitchen. His wants were
simple:
"A good stove so you can
regulate the heat is essential
to me. I like a kitchen where
the working table, the refrig
erator, the stove and supplies
are close together so you don't
have to walk far.
"But to me the most es
sential thing is to keep the
kitchen clean. I like to-wash
things as I go along and get
rid of all refuse, such as
shrimp shells or other peel
ings. I don't want things to
pile up."
The senator's kitchen is
much like his senatorial desk;
both are uncluttered. He said
that if his desk "is not organ
ized, my mind doesn't tick
well-having things neat
helps you think more clearly."
Likes Tidy Kitchen
In the same way, he said,
a tidy kitchen has a good
effect on the cook."
By washing the dishes as
they come from the table, he
gives his guests time to chat
and get ready for the next
course. Usually, some of the
senator's guests roll up their
sleeves and help with the be-
tween-course clearing and
washing. A widower, he has
no domestic help.
He gives a series of din
ners each winter for some of
his colleagues and members of
the Washington press corps.
As one who has been amcsg
the guests on several occa
sions, I can say there is party
fun both in the kitchen and
at the bridge tables in the
living room where his won
drous jambalaya and other
good dishes are served.
Senator Ellender is the only
passenger as far as he knows
to have cooked a complete
dinner on a plane flying 15,-
000 feet over the Pacific, He
was on a round-the-world
trip with several other sena
tors a few years ago and he
cooked chicken spaghetti with
supplies he bought during a
stop at Guam.
Cooks on Plan
The two stewards on the
plane were dubious about his1
culinary ability until they had j
seen him render a few slices
of bacon, fry onions, and
make a roux. But once things
began smelling good, they
were convinced. One said,
Senator, it is sure funny
how folks like to do things
they don't have to do."
A card game had been in
progress during the ' flight
Since the card table wa$ near
the galley, Ellender continued
playing a handoff and soon as
he cooked the dinner. It took
him four and one-half hours
but the 19 men on the plane
devoured everything but the
chicken bones and pronounced
it delightful.
The senator finds cooking a
relaxation. He does the shop
ping as well as all the other
preparation of the meals. He
is noted in Washington for
his Louisiana Creole dishes.
His recipe for jambalaya fol
lows: Jambalaya Recipe t
Basic sauce 3 slices bacon,
small piece smoked ham
(about three ounces, diced),
1 rounded teaspoon flour, - 2
pounds onions chopped fine,
1 lemon (use grated rind, then
remove white pulpy mem
brane and chop rest of lemon),
3 pods garlic, a few dashes
each of Worcestershire sauce,
tabasco, thyme, 2 bay leaves,
salt to taste.
Fry the fat out of the bacon,
remove bacon. Then fry the
ham scraps. To the hot fat
now add flour and brown,
stirring constantly, to make
scorchy tasting browned roux.
Add the onions, fry slowly un
til well browned and reduced
to pulp. Add the rest of the
ingredients and continue to
cook slowly for at least half
an hour.
Senator Ellender uses this
basic sauce for a number of
dishes. For the jambalaya,
he adds one-half can tomato
sauce (not paste nor whole
tomatoes), 3 pints oysters, 3
cups rice, onion tops and pars
ley chopped fine (about a
handful, mixed together).
The Senator's directions
continue:
"Add tomato sauce and oy
,sters to basic sauce and cook
thoroughly. Now add rice,
chopped onion tops and pars
ley. Add enough water to
make sure you have at least
two cups liquid in the pot for
each cup of rice. Stir and
mix thoroughly until mixture
comes to a boil. Now cover
tightly and lower flame to
simmer. Cook for about 30
minutes, stirring lightly two
or three times during cooking.
Test rice to be sure it is thor
oughly done at the end of
the 30-minute period. The
recipe will serve from 8 to
12 people."

Institute Shouldn't Skip
Best Dressed Working Girl
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor 1
New York - (UPD - Nobody
asked me but it's high time
that annual lists of best-dressed
females included one girl
perennially ignored.
She's the American work
in? girl, who manages a maxi
mum of chic on a minimum
of cash.
Each year, yours truly is
among those 2,500 persons
asked by the New York Dress
Institute to vote on women
we think rate special attention
as clothes horses. And each
year, some of us faithfully cite
the white collar girl. But the
results of the campaign have
been nil - so far.
Looking over the 1958 list
which came out this week, I
find it's made up of the usual
bluebloods, actresses and oth
ers of such substantial means
that if they aren't beautifully
gowned, they should change
couturiers.
Well Turned Out
Now don't misunderstand.
I'm not suggesting that Mrs.
Winston Guest doesn't belong.
She always looks well turn
ed out, but she also can af
ford a wardrobe from Main-
bocher
Or the Duchess of Windsor,
who is dressed by Balenciaga,
Dior, Mainbocher and Desses.
Or Audrey Hepburn, who
goes to Hubert de Givency
of Paris for most of her cos
tumes. Okay, let these gals reign
as queens of the fashion
Institute, can't we just one
year give a little recognition
to Susie Smith, although her
clothes come from the budget
section of the Bon Ton instead
of a Paris salon?
One of those "best dressed"
will spend on one ball gown
the equivalent of Susie's
whole yearly clothes allow
ance. But Susie also looks
smart, and she's worked hard
er at it.
Soap, Water and Energy
You'll see what I mean just
by walking along Fifth, Ave
nue in New York, or the main
drag of any city anywhere,
on a work day. Secretaries,
receptionists, clerks, sales
girls - most look as if they
just stepped from a bandbox.
They ve learned that one
basic dress plus a few acces
sory changes becomes a whole
wardrobe; that it costs noth
ing to keep hosiery seams
straight, skirt hems even.
It takes only soap, water
and energy to keep blouses,
gloves, collars and cuffs im
maculate. And Susie may
dream of a new suit from
Balenciaga, but the three-year-old
one she bought on
sale still looks smart because
her "find" had classic lines.
The hat came from a hat bar,
but the way she wears it, who
could tell it doesn't carry a
"name" label inside.
So here is a salute to the
chic of the working girl. She's
on my best-dressed list, even
if she didn't make the official
world. But please, dear Dress? one this year.
Heart Surgery
Fund Increase
To Be Sought
Washington, D.C. The
new Congress will be urged
to approve as quickly as pos
sible a supplemental appro
priation of 81,500,000 to re
plenish funds for lifesaving
heart surgery in children, the
secretary of health, educa
tion, and welfare, Arthur S.
Fleming, has announced.
The high cost of surgery in
children suffering from con
genital heart conditions and
increasing demands for such
surgery have exhausted funds
available to support state
programs for the current fis
cal year. The number of chil
dren with congenital heart
disease who receive medical
services under State crip
pled children's programs has
increased from 2,200 in 1950
to 10,000 in 1957.
Under the overall state
federal medical care program
for crippled children, states
are required to provide $1
for each $2 provided by the
federal government. If the
proposed appropriation is ap
proved, it would mean that
there would be an additional
$2,250,000 for treatment of
heart defects in the young.
New surgical techniques,
particularly "open heart" sur
gery, are too costly for most
families to handle unaided.
The immediate cost of the
average open heart operation
is about $2,500. This includes
all hospital and medical care
costs, diagnostic preparation,
and the use of a number of
expensive machines.
