When I left Hhanghal there waa

Hrukrlraa
Tlie Krd charges that the United
Hlatea and Urltalll Instigated the
blockade do not make sense. Bhlps
of both nations have run the block
ade at great d.inger and expense
Willi no help whatever from the
Communists.
The Krda crlilcixe Western na
tlona for not using their navlra to
break the bloikudr, yet they them-
arlvra forbid f rrlgn warships to
antrr tcrrllorl.il watrra and that
la where thr blockade la.
llrfore bring permitted to leave
Bhanghal I a called to the cen
tral police statlir. and questioned
two hours. The questions ranged
from. "How did you cover the civil
war?" lo "What U your opinion of
t h t Communist maiiagrmrnt of
Bhanghal?'
To the latter I replied that I
thought Communist oltlclals were
unwise In refusing to see loreign
corrrspondeii'a because thrra were
many Impu'lant quesllona that
should be amwered In the intercuts
of all parlies.
"What ques:lons?" the Commu
nist officer aha'ird.
"Tha blockade for Instance," I
repondrd. "The Communists say
Ihry think the Western powers
should break tne blockade since
they do not rerognlw the legality
of It. Yet yoj yourself forbid for
eign warships from escorting and
protecting foirlgn merchant ships
through Chine 4 territorial waters,
and that's where tha blockade la.
You are not shl" to protect these
ships yoursehe yet and you won't
waive your or.lrr so that others can
protect them. Why la that?"

Easv Dinner For
Christmas Day
Cut mother In on the Christmas
fun. Urge her to plan the Christ-
mat dinner around dishes easy to
prepare. Keep her out of the kitchen
aa much as poaslble. That's a food
formula for a Merry Christmas to
all.
We Sfked the cooking experta of
the Bwlfl home economics labora
tories to plan a "little work" fam
ily Christmas dinner for this col
umn. Here It Is:
Ham. of course, la one of the
traditional meat selections for the
Christmas dinner. And a modern
trndrrrd ham la one of the easiest
mrala to prepare, too. because
there la Utile work to baking it
In an open pan In a slow oven.
Hams for the Christmas dinner
are available In two forms (li the
familiar conk -before-eating type
which, as the name Implies, re
nulres baking before serving; 2i
the fully cooked ready-lo-eat style
which may be served cold as It
Is taken from the wrapper. If pre
ferred. It ran be merrlr heated
through for hot service. Either style
carries complete baking directions
on the wrapper.
for this year'a "little work" din
ner, they auggest a whole or half
fi''l cooked ham. Hot spiced
cider, cheese-spread crackers, cel
ery, carrot sticks, olives, pickles,
baked ham, cranberry gelatin
molds, creamed potatoes, mushroom-stuffed
onions, buttered peas,
roUs butter or fortified margarine,
assorted chrese, fruit cake, chilled
gra'ies, roffee.
The first course of hot spiced
cider, cheese-spread crackers and
relishes to be served In the living
room requires little effort.
Cranberry gelatin molds for serv
ice on the hsm platter are an In
advance Job. Slices of canned cran
berry Jelly may be used as a gar
nish Instead. Onion cups, par-bollrd
and stuffed with creamed mush
room caps, can be prepared and
refrigerated overnight for reheating
In the oven for about 30 minutes
Just prior to aervlng the dinner.
Cook the potatoes . for the
creamed potatoes the day before
and cut Into big cubes. Before serv
ing, cover the cubes with a white
sauce (canned cream of celery soup
may be substituted and bake in
the oven for a half an hour while
the onions are heating.
A dessert to gladden the eyes Is
a tray of assorted cheeses. Utile
bunches of chilled green grapes
and thin slices of fruit cake. Coffee
served at table or In the living
room, as you -prefer, climaxes this
easily prepared, memorable Christ
mas dinner.

PORTLAND. Dec. 21 i"i The
pollution control council of the Pa
cific Northwest was told here that
the water flow In all Western
streams Is declining.
Arthur M. Piper, U. 8. geological
survey staff member, said the Co
lumbia river flow has dropped 30

I provides a different touch. Try It
