Food Writers Tell Substitutes For Cranberries New York - (CPU - The na tion's food writers wailed briefly at the thought there might not be a cranberry for every Thanksgiving turkey, and then perked up. There are substitutes for the tart and brilliant traditional turkey relish. , "Swedish lingonberries would be wonderful," said Ann Seranne, former editor of Gourmet Magazine, '"if you can get them." . "A lot of people love to have sauerkraut with turkey," said Katherin Pinkerton, author of "Cooking Afloat." Calls It Tragic "But isn't it tragic. My fam ily loves cranberry - whole berry jelly." "Spiced peaches, plums, nectarines, any spiced or pickled fruit," suggested Claude C. Philippe, long of the Waldorf, now executive consultant to the Zeckendorf Hotels Corp. Most had second thoughts as well. "I should think sour cher ries would make a wonderful relish, and good color, too," said Miss Seranne. "It might be fun to candy them. Cook very slowly in syrup for a couple of hours. "Or poach apple slices in syrup with vanilla. You could add some cinnamon candy for color." . Currant 'Best of All' Mrs. Pinkerton liked lingon berries, too, or pineapple. "People who like that raw cranberry relish put through the grinder could substitute pineapple and add mandarin oranges and a little ginger," she suggested. . "Out in Canada and Min nesota there's a wild high bush cranberry thafs perfect ly magnificent," Mrs. Pink erton said. "I don t know if there are any on the market, but I'd rather have that than anything. "Or what about wild goose berry jam? That has a tang. "Or currants. Maybe that's the best of all. I think maybe I'd just go buy the very best currant jelly I could buy and let it go at that" . j DOW-JONES AVERAGES New York (CPD - Dow- Jones final stock averag.s: 30 industrials 650.92 un changed; 20 railroads 154.14 up 0.04; 15 utilities 87.11 up u.ua; 65 stock Z13.50 up 0.04.

Oswego-flTB - Jeffrey John Fitting, 14, Oswego, suffered badly mangled left hand Sunday when a homemade bomb exploded. (Continued from Page 1) Last year, FDA assumed that the warnings of . 1957, plus withholding contaminat ed berries from the market, would prevent further misuse of the weed killer in bogs. FDA, an agency under Flem ming's department, and the cranberry trade association, Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., therefore did little or no checking on last year's crop. When toxity studies, complet ed last May, revealed that this weed killer was a cancer producing agent, FDA ' re sumed checking grower prac tices and perfecting in an alytical method for detecting residues of the chemical in the berries. Shipments Contaminated FDA agents then discov ered: 1. Two out of seven ship ments from the Pacific North- west were contaminated. These two were the ship ments from Oregon to Cal ifornia, and from Washington into Oregon. 2. Preliminary. ' results of tests on 10 other lots, not yet shipped, indicate contamina tion. - 3. "Evidence that some growers have again failed to follow good agricultural prac tice in use of the weed killer indicate that we are likely to find additonal contaminated lots in the 1959 crop," Flem ming said. "In view of the findings on the 1959 Northwestern crop, and the previous history of the 1957 crop, we believe it reasonable to assumethat the 1958 crop may also be con taminated," the secretary de clared. Discontinues Sales On this basis, FDA urged that all sales be discontinued at once. FDA presumes that most of what is now on the market in retail stores is. from the 1958 crop. Most of the 1959 crop is still in the dis tribution pipeline. Either in the hands of growers, proces sors, or wholesalers, a spokes man said. FDA is urging upon all of these a ban upon fur ther commercial transfers of cranberries until the industry has submitted a workable J plan to separate the good from the contaminated ber ries. No contamination has been found in berries this year from other growing areas The 3 million pounds of ber ries how buried in the North west amounted to a third of the 12,500,000 pound North west crop for 1957.

Catholic mis sionary order of the Salesians of St. John Bosco, died Sunday. The department of agricul ture said Monday its crop es timates showed that Oregon this year would have a cran berry crop amounting to 4.4 million pounds and Washing ton would produce 8.4 mil lion pounds, giving the North west about 10 per cent of the national production for 1959. FDA, Flemming noted, has refused to set any tolerance, or safe minimum, for any amount of chemical in foods if it produces cancer when fed to test animals. FDA is investigating pos sible contamination of other crops by this weed killer. Flemming urged growers not to use this chemical in a way that would leave any residue in or on the produce. Charge off 'Political Ending Steel Strike . Washington-(UPD-The White House today denounced as "demagoguery".-a labor lead er's charge that President Ei senhower's intervention in-the steel strike was a "political payoff."

SOUND FAILURR Hamilton Air Force, Calif-(UPD-The Air Force, which has jarred the San Francisco Bay area on several occasions with sonic booms, scheduled one Monday for a speed and space symposium. Two F-104s Mazey told the AFL-CIO In dustrial Union Department conference that use of a Taft Hartley injunction to stop the steel strikje was a "political payoff by Eisenhower to campaign contributors. "Such demagoguery leveled against President Eisenhower is, of course, not really worthy of comment," Hagerty told newsmen. "I am sure the American people realize that the Presi dent 'acted only -when it was clear that the welfare of the United States dictated posi tive action under the "law. Such action was upheld by the courts of our land." Others Hit Action Other speakers at Monday's labor meeting also lashed but raced across the sky at sonic speeds and nothing ; at the President's action. And happened.

As the meeting continued today, the IUD was consider ing new formulas for settling strikes to replace the Taft- Hartley injunctive process. Hagerty was reminded that other labor leaders also criti cized the President at the la bor conference Monday and was asked if his comment ap plied to all of the criticism. "Sure," he answered. . Arthur J. Goldberg, gen eral counsel for the Steel workers Union, is asking the AFL-CIO to present in Con gress his own plan for ending critical walkouts. He made that suggestion at today's fi nal IUD session. Mazey said in his speech the strike in order to fulfill political obligations to the industry.
