St. Louis Seeks Consolidation
Of City, County Government
Bv LEO SOROKA
United Pra International
" St. Louis (UPII The "Show
Me" state might place a gov
ernment consolidation pro
posal on the ballot. If adopt
ed, the method used could be
the guide for other long
sought government mergers
where.
The controversial issue in
volves the biggest city in Mis
souri, St. Louis. The city is
"hungry" for St. Louis county
land.
Former president Harry
Truman doesn't live anywhere
near St. Louis or St. Louis
county, yet he'll be able to
cast a vote on the consolida
tion issue from his Independ
ence, Mo., precinct.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
says: "St. Louis was separated
from the county in 1875 by a
state constitutional amend
ment. What is so unfair about
using that method to consoli
date the two entitles?"
Truman says the trouble
began when "the people of St.
Louis didn't want to be with
us country folks and built a
fence around the city." Ever
since then, he said in answer
to a UPI question, city folk
"have been trying to tear
down that fence."
Plant Made
At least three plans in suc
ceeding years have been made
to bring city and county to
gether. All failed. The new
plan aimed at merging under
borough system Is being
sought by amending the slate
constitution.
A group of city and county
residents has organized the
Missouri Committee for the
Borough Plan to Reunite St,
Louis. Once the proposal is
on the election ballot in No
vember, voters from all over
the state will be able to de
termine the fate of the city
and county
Opponents of the plan have
commented, that it is "a most
outrageous denial of the dem
ocratic processes, a dictatorial
approach to local govern
ment."
Charles P. Orchard, a leader
in a consolidation movement
here three years ago, says of
the present plan: "lo place
our economic, social and po
litical future in the hands of
voters in the Ozark Hills and
elsewhere In the slate is some
thing I cannot possibly recon
cile with my beliefs."
The proposed constitutional
amendment calls for creation
of a new political subdivision
of Missouri to be known as
the Municipal County of St
Louis.
Charles F. Vatlerott Jr.
chairman of the plan, says it
will take an amendment to
the Constitution to restore uni
ty "from the crazy-quilt pat
tern of governments sur
rounding the city.
If approved, a year of tran
sition would precede the con-
a'b - "i

solldation. Mayors of the
consolidating governme n t a 1
bodies and members of the
various city, town and village
legislative bodies all will go
out of office.
Economic reasons are given
by unification sponsors, who
say failure to provide a single
government is a major factor
in the community's lag behind
competing metropolitan areas.
Attorney James S. McClel
lan, a vice chairman in the
merger plan, says "changing
the status quo always in
volves agony."
"Most of the agony," he
said, "is coming from office
holders who think their au
thority is being impinged
upon."
County Supervisor James
H. J. McNary has described
the plan as a "metro monster"
which would kill community
life in the county.
St. Louis Counly council
man Edward E. Murphy Jr.,
said some features of the pro
posed Borough plan were de
sirable, but he said these can
be achieved by other means
instead of creating a "govern
mental monstrosity."
Criticizes Vote
Not all county government
leaders oppose the plan. May
or Paul T. Koenig of Cresl
wood said the plan "has some
interesting possibilities." But
he criticized the statewide
vote.
Dean Hiram H. Lesar of the
Washington University School
of Law said of the plan: "It Is
Inconceivable that one gov
ernment would not be more
efficient than 115 govern
ments." William R. Bascom, vice
president of Granite City
Steel Co., and former mayor
of Ladue, in the county, said
"multiplicity of governmental
structures has been a deter
rent to industrial development
here for the last 25 years."
Proponents also point to the
national prestige of consolida
tion. The last census showed
the city's population at 750,-
026, the county s at 703,532.
Combined they would give the
city a population of almost 1.5
million and an area of 558
square miles, making St. Lou
is the sixth largest in the
country in area.

The 1962 California mid
summer cantaloupe crop is
likely to top 8 million crates
of luscious golden goodness.
It is headed toward a peak
right now. Midsummer canta
loupes average mostly 36 lo
the crate though there are
some smaller ones that go
45 to a crate. So there's plen
ty of cause for rejoicing in
good cantaloupe eating ahead
throughout summer and well
into the Fall.
Harvest of Washington
state cantaloupes is just be
ginning, will "peak" end of
August. Oregon cantaloupe
season really gels under way
early in August, continues at
best throughout September
and well into October.
Cantaloupes are harvested
when fully ripe and ready to
leave the vine at' a touch.
Their stem is always clean.
With the exception of a
very small quantity of canta
loupes that go into a mixed
melon frozen pack, cantaloup
es are used almost exclusive
ly in the fresh slate. It is
likely lhat most of them will
be served wiih salt or pepper,
sugar, lemon or lime juice,
though they are superlative
in combination with any num
ber of fruits, berries and with
other melon varieties. A half
cantaloupe makes a natural
bowl for berries or ice cream.
Calories-Vitamins
Cantaloupes have very few
calories. Half an average-size
midsummer cantaloupe con
tains but 35 lo 40 calories. Vi
tamins? Yes, Generous quan
tities of pro vitamin A and
ascorbic acid.
Chill or No Chill
To chill or noi to chill is a
moot question. Some folks
feel that the superb flavor of
cantaloupes is best enjoved
when served at room temper
ature. Those who prefer "re
freshment," 1 I kc to serve
cantaloupes well chilled. Per
haps some of each?

Thomas Scoffs at
Broadcast Offer
Washington - UTI' - Norman
Thomas, the six-time Socialist
candidate for president, scoif
cd today at the broadcasting
industry's offer to donate val
uable air lime to political de
bales this fall.
The offer is of dubious
value. Thomas said, because
the two rich major parties
who need it least would be
the chief henefu-iai ics
Often it is the third parly
or independent candidate in a
slate or district who discusses
the really meaningful issues,
Thomas said.
Thomas told the Semite
Com mil nicat ions Subi-onim li
tre that the basic need In
broadcasting is a new ap
proach to political debate, not
simply a suspension of the so
called equal time rule
Spokesmen for the industry
have urged repeal on the
ground that "equal time" re
stricts their freedom to stage,
among other things, local edi
tions of the lUtitl "great debates."

Fried Chicken, Hot or Cold
Superlative Summer Ealing
There's an abundance of
poultry at bargain prices.
There are many personal no
tions as to the way to fry
chicken but everyone agrees
that fried chicken, hot or
cold, is superlative feasting.
We suggest piling fried
chicken high, fresh from the
fryer, one day with plenly
left over for serving cold an
other day. Perhaps with
bread, butter and cucumber
sandwiches.
Country Fried. Dip cut-up
table dressed fryers in flour
seasoned with two teaspoons
salt and one-eighth teaspoon
pepper and fry in a hot frying
pan with one-half inch hot fat
using shortening, cooking
oil, lard or half lard and but
ter. Brown slowly and tl or-
oughly, then turn heat low
and continue frying for 35 to
60 minutes depending on size
of pieces.
Coatina Variation!. A mix
ture of cornmeal and flour,
fine bread crumbs, corn
flake crumbs or a thin batter
may be preferred to flour as
a coating.
Deep Fat Fried. Parboil
pieces of frying chicken for
10 minutes in salted water,
drain, dip in any of the above
coatings and deep-fat fry in
hot fat at 350 degrees for 10
minutes or until evenly
browned. Drain before serv
ing. Oven Fried. Brown chicken
as for country fried; then
transfer to casserole, cover
and finish cooking in 325 de
gree oven for one hour.
Chicken Barbecue. Follow
directions for Oven Fried
above but baste with barbe
cue sauce made by simmering
together the following items:
one teaspoon salt', one-half
teaspoon pepper, one table
spoon paprika, one table
spoon sugar, one clove garlic,
cut-up, one cup catsup, one
medium onion, finely chop
ped, one-half cup water, one
half cup lemon juice, one ta
blespoon Worceste rshire
sauce, one-fourth cup butter
or margarine.
Whole or Pieces
Fryer-broilers may be pur
chased whole, cut-up or by
parts. The packaged cut-up
chicken offers not only choice
meaty parts such as breast
and drumsticks but also back,
wings, etcetera. These cost
considerably less per pound
than when buying "pieces."
On the other hand, you
may be willing to pay more
for choice meaty pieces if
you're cooking in a hurry,
preparing a party dish or suit
ing family preferences for
"light or dark."
Berry Roll
Is Very Good
This berry roll is superb
made with any seasonal ber
ries or combination of ber
ries, simply laundered prop
erly and folded into whip
ped cream or dairy sour
cream; then rolled into warm
roll made according to these
easy directions:
Beat four eggs until thick:
add one cup sugar, five table
spoons water, one teaspoon
vanilla. Sift one cup sifted
flour, one - fourth teaspoon
each salt and baking powder;
fold into beaten eggs. Pour
into lightly greased jelly roll
pan. Bake at 375 degrees for
12 to 15 minutes. Remove
from pan; roll while warm,
using foil or waxed paper.
Cool; unroll; spread with
whipped cream or dairy sour
cream and berry combination.
Reroll and chill until serving
time.
Now Is Time for
Really Good Loaf
Here is a meat loaf that
leaves a little time for more
loafing the next day since it
makes 10 servings; is equally
good hot or cold. You'll want
mustard pickles with this.
Combine two sups fine soft
bread crumbs one egg slight
ly beaten, two pounds ground
uncooked ham, one cup but
termilk, one teaspoon prepar
ed horseradish and mix well.
Add salt if ham is not very
salty.
Pack into greased loaf pan,
pressing well into corners.
Bake it moderate, 375 degree,
oven about 1 4 hours. Mighty
good in sandwiches, too!
Raspberry Sauce
Now that red raspberries
are ripening, consider this
simplest of all sauces for top
ping custard, puddings, pound
cake, angclfood cake or ice
cream.
Simply crush fresh rasp
berries using a little powder
ed sugar if you like, though
often berries are quite sweet
enough. As a matter of fact,
other berries or mixed berries
are equally good as sauce for
"soft" desserts.
