WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 self in less than three years
At 58, the white-topped ex{Marine hero and economics pro[fessor finds himself almost over
night as one of the nation’s ablest and most respected statesmen with a White House boom gathering behind him despite his best jefforts to discourage it.
The big Lincolnesque Senator - 225 pounds and 6-foot-2 — is Ibone-weary from four vacationless years of hard campaigning, carrying the crushing burden of trying to do a conscientious job las Senator, climaxed by his cur{rent scrap with the President over federal judge appointments in (Illinois. . In this frame of mind the speaks of himself and the presidency: | “I couldn’t possibly stand the iterrible strain of being President. Just being a Senator is tough lenough on me. 1 can't conceive. of any circumstance or set of condi{tions now that would cause me to run for President. I tell that to the man who stands next to “me waiting for a taxi, I tell it to vou. I tell it to the waiters And there {3 no such thing as a

NEW YORK, Aug. 15—Frém the uproar over the 90 delinquent West Point cadets who were caught cheating, a newcomer to these shores-—— such as me—might have thought that the entire social structure of the land. was uprooted and that our youth was forever lost. .I am prone to think that an awful lot of fuss has been made over a purely human frailty and that the boys were not nearly so guilty of willful guile as those sterling athletes who played football for the services during a shootin’ war and then quit their commissions as soon as it was safe to do so.
o> Hb NOR DO I THINK that the desecration of the West Point code of honor was served so much by the cribbers as by the cold recruiters of football talent in the academy—or the graduate officers and gentlemen who played politics and preserved cliques among themselves during a war, who cov-

o a o SEN. DOUGLAS was the oldest man ever to go through boot camp, was wounded twice at Okinawa and Pelilieu, won citations for valor and was discharged as a lieutenant colonel after 14 months in a hospital. His left arm is now permanently crippled. In the Lincoln tradition, he was raised on a barren Maine farm. He worked his way through Bow-, ‘doin College, played football, won a Phi Beta Kappa key and went gu on for further work at Harvard § and Columbia. £ During the depression years he rose to’ national prominence in his own field as a writer of books on economics, a teacher and as a member of numerous state and federal boards on unemployment and social security matters. Politically, he worked with Harold Ickes to help break up the Insull utility empire, made one unsuccessful run in the primary for the Illinois seat in the Senate and served several years on Chicago's city council. It is there that he got his grounding in the fine art of politics. 8 " zn WHEN newly-elected Sen. Douglas showed up to be sworn in at the opening of the 81st Congress, most observers looked at the huge, ungainly, rumpled man .a little dubiously. Like so many “big Washington entrances before his, the advance notices seemed too good. Nobody could be as smart and as honest as he was being billed.

Cooking Liquor By Jay Breen
NEW YORK, Aug. 15—If your hubby spends too much time elbow bending at the neighborhood tavern or raiding his secret supply of giggle soup, international gourmet Leo Van Munching said today, the reason may well be the poor fellow is bored with the food you serve him “I've eaten and drunk with gourmets all around the world for 20 years,” he said, “and I have yet to meet one ‘you could classify as a heavy drinker.” Although an executive of a liquor company, Mr. Van Munching regularly tours the nation showing selected audiences how a wife can keep her husband out of bars and at home by combining liquor with the spices she puts in her cooking.

AS AN EXAMPLE of his theory, he gave a dinner at the swank Colony Club from which . everyone walked away with a mild glow, although no one had raised a glass to his lips. Everything on the bill of fare was high as a kite, but the guests stayed reasonably sober. The menu started with grapefruit broiled in kirsh, a kind »f liqueur made from ground cherry pits. Next came bean soup with champagne, lobster baked in cheese with beer sauce, mushrooms and squash broiled in Madeira wine
