Ike Acts As Chef For Beef Stew Luncheon By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH DENVER (# — President Eisen-| hower, playing the role of super- vising chef, invited more than 173 guests to a beef stew lunch today. The guests included several long- time friends who have been. Ei- senhower neighbors the many years he has been spending Colo- rado vacations at the home here of his mother-in-law, Mrs. John S. Invited, too, were quite a few Denver business men who are golf- ing pals of the President. Also asked were a couple of fellows who make a living at golf and give Eisenhower a few pointers — Ed Dudley, the pro at the Augusta Na- tional Club in Georgia and at Colo- rado Springs, and Ralph Rip) Arnold, pro at Denver’s Cherry Hills club where today’s | luncheon was being held. | The President also invited about 40 newsmen who have been covering his activities here. He said they were to have a half holi- day today and gave instructions that everything at the luncheon, except the beef stew recipe and guest list, was off the record. Close friends of Eisenhower have been telling for years about his beef stew, a ritual-like preparation usually several days in the making. The recipe the White House made public is for 60 people, but | assistant White House press sec- retary Murray Snyder told appre- hensive newsmen enough stew was being cooked to provide even ‘“‘sec- onds” for the more than 75 guests. Here’s the recipe: First off you get 20 pounds of prime round steak — something considerably better than the “‘stew- ing meat,” the White House calls it. Also eight pounds of small Irish potatoes, six bunches of small carrots, five pounds of small on- ions, 15 fresh tomatoes, three gal- fons of beef stock made from mar- row bone with a bit of meat on it, salt, pepper, and a bunch of bo- quet garniture, made of thyme, garlic and bay leaves. With the ingredients ready, you start your beef stock two or three days ahead of your beef stew par- ty. At Cherry Hills it has been simmering since Saturday. Several hours in advance of the dinner hour put in the stew meat and cook it slowly in the beef stock until tender. Cook that mixture un- til the vegetables are done. Then draw off two gallons of beef stock and thicken it slightly with beef rue. In this case, the tue is a mixture of about a pint and half of the fatty substance on top of the beef stock, and about a pound of flour. The rue should simmer 10 to 15 minutes before being used to thicken the stew. After it has simmered, pour it back into the stew. Then let the whole concoction simmer for an hour and a half and serve. One other guest invited to to- day’s luncheon was Secretary of Agriculture Benson, who told a meeting of the American Meat In- stitute and the United Fruit and Vegetable Association in New York the other day that the purpose of the Eisenhower beef stew lunch was to promote sales of meat and vegetables, The President took it easy at the Doud home yesterday after he and Mrs. Eisenhower attended ser- vices at the Corona Presbyterian church. Snyder reparted the chief execu- tive “quite hgppy” about what he termed “‘tremendously enthusias- tic” reaction of GOP leaders to the stepped-up campaign Eisen- hower waged in the Far West last | week for election of another Re- publican congress. N. Mexico Vote Given Clean Bill Of Health ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. HW — A federal grand jury has given New | Mexico’s 1952 election a clean bill | of health and charged political mo- | tivation prompted allegations of ir- | regularities it’branded “complete. | ly irresponsible and without basis | in fact.” The 22-person jury, reporting it had spent three days listening to “a very complete, detailed and thorough” FBI report on every as- pect of a meticulous investigation into the 1952 election, declared: “We feel that the great majority | of those allegations (of irregulari- ties and fraud) should never have i been made in the first place as they had absolutely no basis in| fact.” | Investigation into alleged irregu- larities and fraud was ordered aft- er the Senate Elections subcom- mittee report recommended the Senate declare the 1952 election of Sen. Chavez (D-NM) a “no con- test.” The Senate rejected the mo- tion 53-36—a severe blow to defeai- ed Republican Patrick J. Hurley. Hurley initiated the contest to unseat Chavez and charged numer- ous irregularities. In the 1840's, U.S. railroads employed water boys to distribute ye water in passenger cars.
