It's called Butter Crunch, and it can be used in many ways on or with desserts, writes Gertrude P. Lancaster in the,, Christian Science Monitor. The ingredients are few: 1/2 cup butter ( 1/4 pound), Y4 cup brown sugar (packed down), 1 cup sifted f lour, 1 cup chop- ped walnuts, pecans, or coconut, Mix these ingredients with your hands. Spread the mixture in an oblong pan (13 x 91 x 2). Bake 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 400° F. Take from oven, stir with spoon to form crumbs. This makes 21/2 cups. You can either cool it and store in a covered container in the refrigerator for later use, or press the warm crumbs into a pie plate as a crumb crust. If you keep Butter Crunch for later use, here are some ways to try it. Make a pudding with pud- ding mix and, while it is hot, pour it into a fiat serving dish and sprinkle with 1 cup Butter Crunch. Serve with cream, Or pour chilled custard over cut-up fruit or berries, sprinkle with Butter Crunch. Here's an- other: Pour 2 cups sweetened I spiced applesauce in a 'serving dish.

The herd.shslled interloper is Myrtle, the Manila's other pet, Ike's Diplomats Worrying About Japanese Build -Up by Ray Cromley NEA Staff Correspondent Washington — (NEA) — U.S. strategists have plans to make Japan an official cornerstone of defense planning for` the Far East, First step: signing of the new Japanese -U.S. Security Treaty JAPAN'S Prime Minister Kishi, here January 19 with Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi. Current U.S. defense strategy makes it crucial to keep the Japanese industrial base — one of the world's strongest —out of Russian or Red Chinese hands. Red absorption would tip the world's economic balance o2 power dangerously the Red way. The new treaty will keep the United States air and naval bases in Japan. It commits the Japanese to fight side-by-side with the Americans in defending the islands. It ties them to the U.S. side. But note these less happy facts: • The treaty won't reduce U.S. defense costs in Japan. It in- creases them by at least the $30 million a year that Japan has been contributing to the support of U.S. forces there. • It doesn't commit the Japan- ese to modernize their forces to a point where Japan could han- dle its defense alone. although Americans feel Japan is now strong enough economically to carry out a massive moderniza- tion program. • The treaty doesn't commit the Japanese to come to the aid of the U.S. if America again gets involved in defense operations in Korea, Formosa or other points outside Japan. • It doesn't even commit Japan to serve as a repair base, staging ground or rear echelon site for American forces fighting in the Far East outside Japan, The use of Japan as a manu- facturing, supply and rear eche- lon base cut U,S, supply lines thousands of miles - made it possible to keep U.S. forces from being thrown out of Korea in the peninsula fighting, Japan's resources would be crucial in most any future U.S. Central and North East Asia operations. U.S. defense men will have to "sell" Tokyo on changing these ;facts before Japan can be welded into the around -the -Soviet de- fense system the Pentagon is de- termined to build. Japan's down forces are cru- cial to this goal, the U,S. plan- ners say, so long as the U,S. has such a limited capacity for brush wars and such small ground forces, The treaty was the first and vital step, Pentagon planners were worried that Japan would not sign. The previous treaty was essentially a part of a deal for giving Japan its independ- ence. This is the first security treaty the U.S, and Japan have worked out since Japan was given complete independence and could freely make her own decisions, U,S, State and Defense Depart- ment men had been concerned about reports, of a Japaneses trend toward neutralism. There has been heavy criticism of U,S. Air and Navy forces being in Japan. There have been asser- tions that U.S. Air •andNaval bases meant colonialism, There have been men ardently push- ing the thought that Japan should follow an independent world course on the Indian pat- tern. U.S. diplomats and military men have now stopped holding their colective breath. The Japanese Army has quiet- ly been built up to 170,000 men, It's better officered, better train- ed, has more initiative than the Japanese forces that swept to Singapore, - the Philippines and Indonesia in 1941-42. Its equip- ment is largely World War II type. It has no missile units. There's a national police reserve of 110,000. Japan has only a 100,000 -ton navy of small ships and one sub- marine. It has an air'forceof 1,064 planes — including 455 F-86 jets. With 'U.S. air and naval sup- port, it's estimated here, .the Japanese could give even in- vading Russians a hard go. It's believed .that . they could tie up for a critical period of time a sizeable number of Soviet troops. U.S. strategy aims at encour- aging the Japenese to build up their army and to modernize with Japanese -built tanks, self- propelled artillery and missiles. They think the Japanese should do this modernizing primarily with their own funds — plus $110 million worth of U.S. aid. With modernization and an- other bpost in Japanese troops plus U.S. air and sea aid, it's believed here, the Rusians might hesitate before attempting an in- vasion of Japan. The Reds could take the islands if they were willing to pay top price, but the cost would be heavy. Perhaps it would be too heavy considering what the Soviets would face else- where in a war. Sponsors Like To Call The Shot! The Medicis of Madison Av- enue spent $783,000,000 of their clients' money last year to spon- sor TV programs, and one of their spokesmen wants to know if this doesn't entitle them to do some picking and choosing. We feel it does. Picking — but not pushing. The subject came up this week at the continuing Federal Com- munications Commission hear- ings on what's wrong with broad - east programing. The sponsors' spokesman was Peter W. Allport, an officer of National Advertisers, Inc, Rod Serling, TV playwright; urged a nonintervention policy for sponsors, state an, editorial in the Christian Science Monitor, Mr. Serling gave an example, of what he meant. A sponsor that :made cigarette lighters had once forced him to delete the line "Have you got a match?" from a script. He has recounted else- where the story of the rival auto- mobile sponsor who, managed to have a view - of the New York skyline exclude the Chrysler Building. • These absurdities obviously boomerang against the sponsor who meddles. It would make much more ' sense for"the networks to handle all programing; then sell adver- tising time to the sponsors,who could choose their time slot to give them whatever type of pro- gram they feel would best reach and please the audience they are seeking, That would leave the- integrity of the program and its creators protected from meddling. But the sponsor could choose the general fare his name and his share of the $783,000,000 would be associ- ated with. "Does your husband under- stand horse -racing?" "I'll say! The day before a race he always knows which horse is certain to win, and the day after he knows exactly why it didn't." ISSUE !Y — 1960 Gimmicks Thctt" Help Soles Storekeeping is a competitive business and a good gimmick always helps to sell goods. This is why some shopkeepers some- times try to introduce a little eye-catching humour into their trade, A King's Cross fruiterer, whe bad his goods handled too free' ly, raised a few laughs and at- ti'aoted more customers with the notice: "Please, -madam, don't squeeze me until I'm yours." Not all customers saw -the humour en the notice of.a butdber in Sydney, Australia, Outside his shop he had a sign. reading, "Why go elsewhere to be robbed?" On a busy street corner news- stand in St. Louis, newsvendor Ted Gatlin has a sign reading, . "Twenty-five dollars Cash-' If I Fail to Thank You," He got the idea from a newly opened ser- vice station promising motorists free gasoline 12 the attendant failed to check their oil, Since Ted took over the stand three years ago his newspaper sales have jumped from three hundred daily to more than eight hundred, Many people have tried - to catch him out, but so far none has 'made him forget his manners. A Nor t h Country second- hand car dealer displayed a notice stating that he would . allow $150 in part -exchange for anything on four wheels. The notice was ' hastily withdrawn after the first claimant produced • an old roller skate. Another dealer thought he had hit upon a novel touch when he advertised a car at $100 less a reduction' of $10 for every child the purchaser had. He was shaken when a man turned up with ten children and birth cer- tificates, then claimed the car for nothing. Equally generous was the East London cafe proprietor who tried to discourage credit seek- ing with the notice, "Credit ex- tended to those over eighty se- companied by a parent." He gave a • huge free meal to the appli- cant of that age who brou ht along his 103 -year-old father! • The novel sales idea of a tailor. in Barking, Essex, backfired with a large bang. He put • a notice in his shop window ill.: forming prospective clients that there was a pound note in the breast pocket of each suit he sold. On the first night thieves went to investigate. They col- lected the L1 notes and the suits! BIG STEP INTO MARRIAGE — Formosan Chinese paratrooper Capt. Cheng Ching -Lien helps his bride free from here part- chute harness.
