Morion Says Demo
Convention 'Fixed'
Washington (0PO - Republi
can National Chairman Thru-
cton B. Morton says there is
no longer "any trace of
doubt" that Sens. John F.
Kennedy and Lyndon B.
Johnson "fixed" the Demo
cratic presidential ticket
weeks ahead of the Los An
geles convention.
Morton charged "the con
vention was a . sham - and
this is no surprise. I pre
dicted the arrangement in a
formal statement as far back
as June 30."
The Kentucky senator said
."delegates might have well
stayed home and balloted by
mail. Clearly, the era of pay
ola is not dead. Tonight was
the payoff." I

Froth Apricot Pi
Enticing Deisort
Apricot season is growing
short so make the most of this
juicy, luscious, satisfying fruit
right now. Apricots are good
out-of-hand, in tarts, short
cake, pies like our recipe to
day. They're good stewed
and in fruit gelatin desserts
with cream. When this apri
cot pie was taste-tested, it
vanished with amazing speed.
Pastry for 2-crust pie
2 pounds (1 quart) fresh
apricots
H cup sugar
'.-4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons flour
13 cup California Sherry
wine
2 tablespoons butter or
margarine
Use a pie crust mix or your
favorite recipe for a two-crust
nine-inch pie.
Thoroughly wash, remove
cots. Combine sugar, salt and
seeds, and quarter fresh apri
flour and sprinkle over apri-
wine and butter and heat just
cots in saucepan. Add Sherry
to boiling point. Turn into
pastry-lined pie pan. Cover
with top pastry, sealing edges
together well. Cut a few slits
in top. Bake in a hot oven,
400 degrees, 35 to 40 minutes,
until pastry is golden.
Get Acquainted
With Dill Weed
Dried dill weed is a deli
cately fragrant herb some-
w h a t resembling carroway
but milder and sweeter. It is
fresh, garden green in color;
comes finely chopped, ready
to use in a shaker-top glass
spice jar. It adds refreshing,
zestful flavor to many fods.
Figure on approximately one
half teaspoon for each four
servings.

give distinction to split pea
soup, cream of tomato soup,
navy bean soup; adds interest
to vegetable, avoacdo, potato,
seafood, cottage cheese salads
and coleslaw.
Many like the distinctive
flavor of dill weed with or in
egg dishes, fish and in cream
sauce, sour cream, butter and
fisli sauces.
Thrifty Lamb Cuts

Melon Crop Rolling With
Wealth of Seasonal Delights
Cream of the melon crop
continues to pile high in our
markets. High in eating pleas
ure, low in cost are the mid
summer cantaloupes that will
be plentiful throughout July
and August. Cantaloupes arc
high in nutrition, low in cal
ories; the summer answer to
many weight-watchers' pray
ers. Cantaloupes have been
enjoyed for at least 4,000
years and in all that time
they've been used only In the
fresh state since they have no
by-products such as vinegar,
syrup, sugar or brandy.
Honeydews, ripe and ready,,
are the creamy yellow melons
weighing four to six pounds.
Bluntly oval in shape, they're
usually smooth or slightly
netted. They've pleasing fra
grance, delicate green flesh,
fine texture. Most often
served with salt and lemon or
lime wedges on side for gen
erous juicing.
Watermelons, Others, Wa
termelons, t h e "coolingest"
fruit, are red, ripe and won
derful from now on. Good
old-fashioned plugging Is still
surest way of determining
ripeness. The chillier the bet
ter but we warn you that
they'll not last long in the
freezer; much more than 30
minutes and you'll be in for a
big surprise. Pale honey-like
honeyballs and orange-fleshed
Persian melons are increasing
in supply right along.
Berry News. Strawberries
are being picked up by
freezers and jam makers so
you'd better hurry if you're
to get your share. Price is not
likely to go lower. There are
luscious blackberries, red j
raspb e r r i e s, Loganberries.
Boysenbernes, Olallies, blue
berries; all superb for eating
as is, with sugar and cream,
whipped cream, soft ice cream
or dairy sour cream.
Ftuiti-vegotablo. Avocados
are abundant. Apricots are at
their very best. Nectarines
give pleasure. Grape varieties
increase right along, delight
ing all. Beautiful big peaches
of many varieties appear as
the season advances. Plums,
both purple and golden entice
the purchaser. We counted 35
vegetables in local bins this
morning; all fresh, crisp pro
duce of superb quality at rea
sonable cost for easy menu
making.
Other Items. Plenty of beef,
pork, lamb, poultry and eggs
at reasonable cost. Put cot
tage cheese, Cheddar cheese,
ice cream and other fine dairy
products on menus more
often.
