WHAT FOODS THESE MORSELS BE

Retipes For New Spring- Time Vegetables

By SARAH LIEBER Spring-time vegetables are showing up in the markets. When asparagus stalks and red-skinned new potatoes are on the stands, we know bett e r weather is on its way. Even those vegetables which we have been able to buy Sarah most of the year look and taste better now, because they come from gardens closer to the markets. We are happy, of course, that modern processes make frozen and canned produce available at any time. They are a boon to the

busy woman. However, the time and trouble it takes to prepare the fresh product gives us a special treat. ASPARAGUS WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE 2 pounds fresh asparagus % pound fresh mushrooms, sliced 3 tblsps. butter or margarine 2 tblsps. flour ft tsp. salt pepper to taste 2 cups light cream To prepare asparagus: break off each stalk as far down as it snaps easily. Wash thoroughly in warm water to remove sand. Scrape or peel off scales. Cook in small amount of boiling salted water, or in pressure cooker until just tender. Do not overcook.

Saute mushrooms in butter or magarine 5 minutes. Add flour and seasonings. Stir in cream and simmer over low heat 1 minute. Pour sauce over hot asparagus. Garnish with slices of hard cooked egg as desired. Good with fish or vegetable dinner. Serves 6. CHINESE STYLE ASPARAGUS 2 pounds fresh asparagus 1 tblsp. cornstarch 1 cup chicken broth 1 tblsp. soy sauce 2 tsps. onion juice pepper to taste 2 tblsps oil one-third cup thinly sliced water chestnuts 2 tblsps. slivered toasted almonds After cleaning asparagus

fiddler' Backers For Israel Show May Go To Court NEW YORK — The three American investors in the Israeli version of “Fiddler on the Roof” are pondering possible legal action for alleged breach of contract. The investors, all prominent businessmen, have charged they have not received their contracted share of profits from the hit production. “Fiddler” is s a i d to have grossed more than $2 million in a record 540 - performance run at the Alhambra Theatre in Tel Aviv. Abe Margolies. Ben Cohen and Ben Hammerman, the three investors, claim they have been returned only $140,000 of their $150,000 stake. They said Uieir contract with Giora Godik, producer of the Hebrew - language edition of the “Fiddler,” paralleled the traditional Broadway formula — all the net proceeds until they had been fully reimbursed — then a 50-50 split of the profits with the producer.

Reform Speakers Cause Meet Ban CAPE TOWN, S. Africa — An exhibition of Jewish books and a series of lectures on them in an ancient synagogue which is also home of a museum was cancelled because speakers representing reform had been engaged. The decision was assailed by D. Cohen, of the Cape Council of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies, as “medieval bigotry.” The museum is controlled by the Garden Synagogue, which is Orthodox.

FASHION, TEXTILE EXPORTS Israel’s rise as a fashion center is borne out by export figures showing $28 million in fashions and textile exports last year. $8 million of this amount were paid for Israeli fashions, $5 million by United States importers.

HUNTING GROUNDS For British Girls

JERUSALEM — What could it be that is drawing eligible young Jewish girls from England to Israel?

NEW YORK — The American Friends of the Hebrew Union University stole a march on other Jewish organizations when it convinced S. Y. Agnon, cowinner of the 1966 Nobel Prize for Literature to appear at its forthcoming affairs for the Society of Founders of the Israel university. Announcement of the event was made by society chairman Irving Mitchell Felt, who said the ? 9-year-old Israeli author, who will be accompanied by his family, will limit bis public appearance to the cause of the Hebrew University. Mr. Agnon was the first Hebrew writer and the first Israeli

to be honored with the Nobel Prize. Although his first writings were in Yiddish in his native Galicia, Agnon since his settling in Israel in 1908 has been writing exclusively in Hebrew.
