IK X SUPERLATIVE POTATOES - These good nutrition-packed 1 Long White California-grown potatoes are superlative when baked, scooped out and repacked in combination with sar dines, sour cream or processed cheese. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Potatoes Enjoy Exalted Position Among Vegetables Nothing lowly about pota toes! Tops in the vegetable world, potatoes are packed with good nutrition, are a "best buy" vegetable the year 'round, can be prepared in ways beyond numbering. Our California Long Whites enjoy the further distinction of be ing good bakers, good cook ers, good fryers. Although Long White po tatoes are novf available throughout the year, harvest begins in April and extends .through August, peaking in mid-June. A long, light beige colored potato with a smooth thin skin and very shallow eyes, it is further noted for fresh taste, light texture and an extremely small amount of waste. ' New Potatoes Wash lVb pounds small new potatoes and cook in jackets in boiling salted water to cover until tender, 15 to 20 minutes; peel. Pour one quar ter cup melted butter over and season with salt and pep per. Many like to add juice of one half lemon to the butter. Six servings. Variations. Roll boiled, but tered potatoes in two table spoons minced chives ... in one third cup finely chopped mint leaves ... in one third cup chopped parsley. Or sprinkle boiled, buttered po tatoes with paprika. Creamed Potatoes. New po tatoes are highly regarded when served in a rich creamy sauce with cooked new peas or cooked tiny onions added. They may be enlivened with flecks of red pimiento andor green pepper. Stuff California Potatoes With Maine Sardines Maine and California have a great deal in common. For instance, California grows more potatoes than any state except Maine. California and Maine stand alone in U.S. pro duction of sardines; each tak ing pride in their own dis tinctive varieties. . There's a world of differ ence In sardines, you know. Maine sardines are members of the herring family; are packed in oil, in a tangy mus tard sauce and in tomato sauce; almost always packed in 3V4 or 4-ounce cans. Cali fornia sardines are pilchards which are much larger and are generally packed in to mato sauce in oval 12 or 16- ounce cans. Recipes developed for one should not be used inter changeably because of the ex treme difference in sardine size. The large Californias are delightful on a salad plate but would look absurd if balanced on a cracker. We stuff our good long white potatoes with the smal ler sardines from Maine. For each four servings: 4 medium baking potatoes Salad oil 1 can (4 ounces) Maine Vi cup milk Ji teaspoon salt Butter Paprika Wash and dry potatoes. Rub each with salad oil or bacon fat. Place on baking sheet. Bake in hot oven, 450 de grees, 45 to 60 minutes or un til tender. Immediately cut slice from top of each. Scoop out potatoes and mash well.

' Season with salt and pepper. Simple Ways With Variety of Souffles , Plentful, bargain,- priced eggs of excellent quality en courage us to make high and handsome souffles. Many think souffles a bit too tricky and time-consuming for fre quent menu use but we offer a new, simple, practically guaranteed method that uses mayonnaise. The basic recipe can be widely varied.. Almost any cheese, fish, meat, vegetable or other flavor ingredient which can "be ground, flaked, i mashed or finely chopped can go into this. Note particularly that one folds the mayonnaise mixture into the beaten egg whites not the other way round. Four generous serv ings. 4 tablespoons flour V4 teaspoon salt Dash of pepper Vz cup real mayonnaise 4 tablespoons milk 1 TVfc-ounce can minced clams, drained 1V4 teaspoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon grated onion 4 egg whites Gently stir flour, salt and pepper into real mayonnaise. Beating or over-mixing will cause curdling but will not affect final product. Add milk slowly. Stir in clams, lemon juice and onion. Beat egg whites until stiff. Gently fold mayonnaise mixture into egg whites until thoroughly blend ed. Pour into a greased seven inch casserole and bake in a slow oven, 325 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve at once. Other Combinations - Instead of the minced clams, add one cup ground ham: or luncheon meat, dash of dry mustard, one quarter cup grated cheese.

Disputes New York (Science Service) -The ability of the inherited; institutions of our civilization to make proper decisions on uses of the unprecedented new instruments of warfare, like atomic energy, was call ed in question by Dr. Robert Oppenheimer, atomic energy pioneer and directoriof the In-, stitute for Advanced Study, Princeton, N. J., in a sym posium on basic research here. Arms must not continue to be the last arbiter of dis putes, he said. ; "If we do not treasure the great inheritance on which all our work and life are based, ' and understand the well - drained whole kernel corn, dash of curry powder, three slices bacon, crumbled: Or one cup minced chicken, two' tablespoons chopped pars ley, dash of nutmeg. radical novelty and the grav ity of the situation in which we find ourselves," he warn ed, "there will be few of our children to ask again of the need for new knowledge." Research Need Told Dr. Oppenheimer and other speakers urged the need of continued basic research, or inquiry directed not primar ily to a practical result but to the obtaining of new knowledge. No laboratory should be so directed to its ' practical mis sions that it cannot afford perhaps a sixth or a fifth of work that is on the face of it unrelated to its purposes, Dr. Oppenheimer said. The great lesson of the past atomic decades has been, he observed from his direction of atomic bomb research, that men of science who have I, spent their whole lives in the qaest of new knowledge mayl be among the most gifted practitioners of technology.' Public Recognition Dr. Alan T. Waterman, di rector of the National Science Foundation, Washington, de clared that for continued growth in scientific research and technology and for reali zation of the full potential in basic research, there must be widespread public recognition and appreciation of the im-' portance of intellectual and scholarly activity. Dr. W. O. Baker, vice presi dent, Bell Telephone Labora tories, advocated transference to practice in mathematical reasoning a fraction of the time given to learning of physical skills which are of diminishing importance.
