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

Fitting, 14, Oswego, suffered
badly mangled left hand
Sunday when a homemade

(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 FIGURE DIES
Baltimore -HJPfi- The Rev.
Patrick. O'Leary, 79, member
of the Roman . 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."
Presidential News Secre
tary James C. Hagerty made
the statement in commenting
on a speech Monday by Emil
Mazey, secretary treasurer of
the United Automobile
Workers. .
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. I at the end of the speechmak-
Payoff' in
IHlit by Klagerty
ing, delegates shouted unani- Monday that the President
mous approval of a resolution sent the 500,000 steelworkers
which accused the President back to work after 116 days of
of "strikebreaking."
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.
