the opening morning so he could
have all day Sunday to finish
cleaning him up and telling his en

He parked his car at the base
of a little hill, climbed out and
loaded up his rifle and then began
a careful stalk around the slope,
pausing at evnry sound, his eyes
probing the shadows cast by the
rising sun. On he went, circling
the scattered patches of brush,
clambering over the grey piles of
stone outcroppings, ever on the
alert.
As the sun rose higher in the
sky that peculiar phenomenon oc-

Behind him, on the top of the

needle-filled crevice a tiny tongue
of flame caught and hung on.
Greedily it ate Its way down

The hand -twisted pretzel is a

Only about 20 per cent of our
pretzels are now made by hnnd,"
said Alex V. Tisdalc, executive
secretary of the National Pretzel
Bakers Institute.
A real expert can still twist
pretzels as fast as a macninc can
tie them about 60 to a minute.
But the machines seem to like
the work better. Humun pretzel

Predicted
. By ELTON C. FAY
WASHINGTON (P-A new eom-
mander may take over direction of
'Allied Powers in Europe next sum
mer at about the time when
according to the present schedule
those forces will be expanded
through addition of German troops.
The recent visit to Washington
and the Summer White House at
Denver of Gen. Alfred M. Gruen-
ther, who currently holds the post,
has brought renewed speculation
that he may be called home to be
come either Army chief of staff
or chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff.
That in turn would open the Ques
tion of whether the European Al
lies would again ask the United
States to supply a supreme enm
mander for Western Europe or
whether this country would accept
the proposal. The first three Al
lied commanders have been Amer
icans. Britain or France may feel that
one of their military men should
have the command. Or the United
States, which lost the case for the
European Defense Community plan
but endorsed the substitute pro
duced at the London conference,
may step away from another in
vitation to command.
' The terms of both Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway, Army chief of staff,
and Adin. Arthur Radford, chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
expire next August. Either or both
could be reappointed, but before
Ridgway could complete a second
term he would reach the statutory
point of 62 at which general offi
cers must retire.
A precedent exists for bringing
a former supreme Allied comman
der back to become the military
chief of the Army. Ridgeway him
self returned from the internation
al European command in July 1953
to become Army chief of staff.
Gruenther, young lor his four
star rank hi the Army, has es
tablished a brilliant reputation as
a planner and administrator, and
is dubbed by his associates as "Tne
Brain." He was President Eisen
hower's chief of staff when the
President was Allied commander

Sturgis 1861 ln Lltltz, Pa., and to
day there are still 58 pretzel man

"If all the'" pretzels produced
