MEflfGO-ROU- ND rsiJ UV iv Pearson CABINET LADIES AND MENUS WASHINGTON. - Ladies of the cabinet are really practicing whal their husbands preach regarding the saving of food for Europe. Ever since President Truman urged that the American people eat the equiv-alent of a European ration two days a week, cabinet wives have been studying menus. Mrs. Clinton Anderson, whose secretary of agriculture husband is one of the hardest-workin- g of the food conservers, has given permis-sion to publish one of her menus. It provides 1,540 calories the equivalent of a European ration-- as compared with the normal American diet of 3,600 calories. Here it is, with the number ol calories listed after each item oi food: Breakfast glass of orange juice (75); bowl of cereal (100); milk for Caret (85); half-a-pi- of milk or cocoa (170) total, 430. Lunch half-a-cu- p of thick soup or chowder (150); vegetable salad without oil in dressing (75); muffin (75); baked custard (100); half-a- - pint of milk (170) total, 570. Dinner poultry, fish or meal (150); potato (large serving) (150); green vegetable (peas, beans. greens or broccoli) (40) ; raw vege- - table strips (carrots, celery, toma-to, cabbage) (50) ; half-cu- p of fruit (150) or milk for children total 540. TRUMAN'S GIRL FRIEND The leading lady of the poppy presentation ceremonies to Presi-dent Truman fell hard for the chiel executive. Three-year-ol- d Betty Lou Hall of Eaton Rapids, Mich., one of five orphaned children left by a heroic infantryman killed after the Nor-- ! mandy invasion, was selected to put the poppy in Truman's lapel in be-half of war orphans of the Veter-ans of Foreign Wars. Her job finished, the little girl was asked hy photographers if she didn't want to kiss the Presi-dent. She complied not with one kiss, but a shower of them. In fact, the young lady seemed in-clined to continue this part of the proceedings indefinitely un-til reminded that her embraces were sufficient for picture pur-poses. ARMY MORALS OVERSEAS One reason for strong sentiment in the senate against drafting 18- - year-old- s is that many senators have been abroad since V-- E Day and have seen first-han- d the wanton immorality to which young soldiers are exposed. Returned senators are especially critical of U. S. army officers for setting a bad example to young G.I.s. "When they see their superior officers living in Ger-man castles with frauleins," re-ported Sen. Harley Kilgore of West Virginia, "enlisted men get a very bad Impression. It's no place for youngsters. After they get to be 21, they can stand on their own feet, but give them a chance to get some education first." Other senators feel that the army has an obligation to put its house in order before it demands drafting of 18- - and "An officer is supposed to set an example to the enlisted man," com-mented Sen. Ed Johnson of Col- - orado. "An example of upright liv-ing. Some of the examples set by officers in Germany are shocking Until they clean house they can't expect us to be enthusiastic about the draft." CASE BILL BOOMERANGS Some of the GOP southern coali-tion who stamped the Case anti- - strike bill' through the house are singing a different tune in the cloakrooms since the Illinois pri-mary election returns have come in. One of the most significant bat-tles in this primary was in the dis-trict represented by GOP Con. Rob-ert B. Chiperfield of Canton, 111., an all-ou- t advocate of the Case bill. A fourth-terme- r, Chiperfield boasts that never before has he been opposed In a primary elec-tion. However, it was different this year. The Illinoisan not only had an opponent, but he was re-nominated only by the skin of his teeth approximately 1,300 votes. Chiperfield makes no bones to close friends about the reason for his tight squeak. "My support of the Case bill came darn close to licking me," he admitted in the GOP cloakroom. "That was the main issue of the? campaign." DIPLOMATIC CHAFF The Russian Trade mission to Ar-gentina is not on a brief visit.
