McLEAN The mystery surrounding the disappearance of two British diplomats deepened recently when a member of the House of Lords declared, in London, that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation had in its Posses- sion a recording of a declaration by Donald D. McLean, one of the two missing Foreign Office ‘diplomats, which declared that he was not only a communist but: “A prose- lyting communist.” The Lord refused to support a suggestion that the British request F. B. I. cooperation in learning the secrets surrounding Mr. McLean’s private life. However, he did admit that much more was known in London today about Mr. McLean’s drinking habits than had been known be- fore he disappeared..In fact, he said) that McLean had suffered a breakdown from over-drinking in Cairo and, on one occasion, hac broken a colleague’s leg in a fight. Thus, it appears that the two British diplomats who dis- appeared had more weaknesses than a susceptibility to Communism, The Federal Bureau of Investigation has refused to comment further on the case, though it can be assumed that the two British diplomats were of extremely unstable character. That the British did not recognize this in time might preve costly, since the two. mep ‘re now supposed Yo be behthd the tron Curteain! - A diplomatic or military security chain is no stronger then its weakest link and the democracies are finding this out the hard way in the cold war with Russia.

So says a woman who has spent her life teaching ‘other women how to cook and fry- ing to lift American culinary stand- ards. She is a brisk, smiling Clara Snyder, consumer service consul- tant for the National Association of Margarine Manufacturers and wife of Dr. Lloyd Snyder, Pro- fessor of farm economics at the University of Nebraska. Says Mrs. Snyder: “Young brides needn’t stand for that nonsense about the pies ‘like mother used to make’ any longer. Husbands who continue the old re- frain should be forced to supply proof, and compare one of mom’s mythical pies with a product of his bride’s modern kitchen. Ten-too-one the younger generation wins.” Mrs. Snyder has been in New York getting the results of a re- cent cook-book-recipe survey to determine what happens to the mil- lions of recipes poured forth upon the U. 8. public each year. The research specialists came up with the disconcerting report that 24 per cent of U. S. housewives have no recipes at all in their homes; that older, experienced housewives rarely use recipes, and that the most enthusiastic clippers and collectors of this form of liter- ature are the younger, well-edu- cated housewives in the upper in- come brackets. Mrs. Snyder claims this is the | reason the younger gals are bet- ter cooks—they’re not above tak- ing whatever new tips come along, and aren't too set in their ways to see the virtues of such short cuts as frozen foods and cake mixes. That age-old problem of three-a -day is a constant challenge to the housewife, says Mrs. Snyder, and | she can either be crushed by it | or have a whale of a good time getting the best of it. Says she: Meat Prices May Decline Says Planner By WILLIAM 0. VARN WASHINGTON ( — Price Chief | Tighe Woods plans to reduce the | price of meat to consumers if it’s legally possible. Woods yesterday ordered his Of- fice of Price Stabilization staff to have ready by Monday an order rolling back retail meat prices —or let him know why it can’t be done. He said a pulse-feeling swing he made through the country con- vinced him consumers are more concerned about food prices than any others, and that meat is first on that list. r Woods said cattlemen and farm- ers complain that the prices they receive for live cattle have gone down but that consumers are pay- ing as much for beef now as they were when ceilings were set more than a year ago. The price chief said if this is! so he wants to know the reason why, and where the difference in price exists. The Western States Meat; Pack- ers Association, a trade group, took sharp issue with what they said was a suggestion that \meat retailers and packers are getting excessive profits. E. F. Forbes, the group’s presi- dent, yesterday made publie a letter he sent congressmen recent- ly. The letter said Woods made “irresponsible and inaccurate” statements in Minneapolis earlier this week “designed to turn con- sumers against meat packers and | retailers.” | Forbes said actually beef at wholesale is selling below ceiling prices—in some instances as much as 35 per cent below. At Chicago, Public Relations Di- rector Norman Draper of the Amer ican Meat Institute, which repre- sents 500 meat-packing companies throughout the country, commen- ted: “Everybody is getting rather Woods. We wonder what office he may be running for. Perhaps he has forgotten there was an elec- jtion Nov. 4.” “Menu planning seems to be the greatest . problem of housewives tired of distortion of truth by Tighe | Woods has held meetings with | THE RUG TUNISIANS KILLED BY THEIR OWN BOMBS TUNIS, Tunisia #—Five Tunis- fans were killed Monday by prema- ture blasts of bombs they had apparently planned to set off.

The action will be required, the Navy contends, under an amend- ment to the Defense Appropriation Act which limits the number of officers in all services who may | be paid in each grade. The measure, passed earlier this year, was sponsored by Rep. Davis (R-Wis), who said it was designed to keep the military from becoming “brass-heavy.” | consumers in every section of the Unknown Cases Of Diabetes Being Sought By FRANK CAREY AP Science Reporter WASHINGTON (® — A medical manhunt is on this week—to find more than one million Americans believed to have diabetes without knowing it. You could be in peril if you ac- tually have the disease and it's left untreated. If you are found your disease can quickly be brought under control with insulin and proper diet, sometimes diet alone. A small army of doctors and volunteer workers will be on a special hunt for “hidden” diabetics all this week, which is known as Diabetes Week, sponsored by the American Diabetes Association. Many of them will offer free urine tests for excessive sugar, usu- ally a reliable means of detecting diabetes. Collection stations, where urine samples can be left, have been set up in many of the 700 counties which have established formal pro- grams. Drugstores, public schools and firehouses have been designa- ted for that purpose in some com- munities. The American Diabetes Associ- ation (ADA), a nonprofit organiza- tion of doctors and laymen espec- ially interested in diabetes detec- tion, treatment and education says that whether the tests are offered wihout charge is left entirely to local medical authorities. Medical authorities in 31 of the 48 states have organized state-wide detection and education programs. The ADA estimates about one million diabetics now are under treatment and that another million persons have diabetes without knowing it. Still another two million Ameri- cans at any one time are believed to have a potential for developing the disease sometime during their lives. People who are overweight are among likely candidates—especial- ly if there’s a history of diabetes in the family. Excessive thirst, frequent urination and excessive hunger are among danger signals. SEATTLE (#—A young Navy re- eruit vowed today he’d see that his newly orphaned seven brothers and sisters stayed together. The 17-year-old sailor, Robert Byron, returned home yesterday on special leave from his Navy station at San Diego, Calif. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Halldor A. Byron, were struck and killed by an automobile early Sunday. Before his arrival, a sister, Beverly, 16, was the nominal head of the family, which includes five boys and three girls. Robert, the ‘eldest son, said he planned to make the Navy a career “‘to be sure of being able to help out financially.” * By ARTHUR EDSON {For JAMES MARLOW) WASHINGTON (#—You’re sitting at the breakfast table and you look over the headlirfes. “Well.” you say, “I see they’ve exploded the hydrogen bomb.” “What's a hydrogen bomb?” asks the 12-year-old. “Why, it’s a—,” you say, hur- tiedly running your eyes down the story. Not much help here. Espe- cially from the official announce- ment. It says: “The test program included ex- periments contributing to thermo- nuclear weapons research.” That means exploding the H- | bomb? | So you say, “I don’t exactly know {what a hydrogen bomb is. But I know it's a lot more powerful than an atom bomb.” “What's the difference,” the 12- year-old asks, “‘between a hydro- gen bomb and an atom bomb?” You decide not. to try to meet the question head on, but to try a flanking movement. So you say what you've been reading in the papers, About how there has been this terrific ex- Plosion on some little islands out in the Pacifie Ocean. About the | sailors writing back what a tre- mendous explosion they have seen. About the sailor who said he saw an island blown clean away. Now the 7-year-old jumps in. “Why do they want to blow the island away for?” she asks. “It's an experiment,” you say. “The government wants to know whether the thing will work, so they take the bomb over there and try it out.” “Will it kill everybody?” the 7- year-old asks. You think for a moment about that. If it can blow away an is- land, what can it do to a large city?
