Avoid Food Waste:
Keep Leftover Meat Cold
Enjoy your holiday guests, but
not at the expense of that roast
turkey or other meat.
Mrs. Jean K. Burand, district
Extension agent, reminds hostesses
to safeguard leftovers, especially
meats, by popping them into the
refrigerator as soon as the meal
is over.
This is especially important for
turkeys and other poultry, she
says. It’s dangerous, however, to
leave any kind of meat sitting
around in a warm kitchen for sev
eral hours. Bacteria is pretty sure
to develop fast and spoil any meat
allowed to stand for four hours
at temperatures ranging from 70
to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mrs. Burand also advises against
holding cooked or uncooked meat
in the refrigerator for more than
a day or two. Keep the meat light
ly covered so it won’t dry out, and
remember that chopped and sliced
cooked meats spoil more quickly
than those in large pieces.
If you have more meat than you
can use right away, Jean recom
mends that you freeze it.Frozen
meats, cooked or raw, may be kept
in the frozen state for from 6
weeks to a couple of months, de
pending on the kind and quality,
she says. They lose some quality
when thawed and refrozen.

up their stockings on Christmas
Eve. Instead, they hide their slip
pers for the Wise Men to fill with
goodies.

Senate Probers Wonder How Resigned
Aid Learned His Wheelin’ & Dealin’
WASHINGTON Of) — A blonde
widow told Senate investigators
yesterday that she and her hus
band split an almost $55,000 stock
profit with Robert Baker even
though the former Senate aide
invested no money of his own.
Mrs. Gertrude Novak testified
about the transaction as the Sen
ate Rules Committee opened pub
lic hearings in its investigation of
the outside business dealings of
Baker.
Mrs. Novak said that in Feb
ruary, 1960, Baker told her and
her husband, the late Alfred No
vak, that he knew of a stock being
available that could be good and
asked if the Novaks had any
money to invest. Mrs. Novak testi
fied Baker said he was so short
of cash that he didn’t have any
money to invest in the stock him
self. But, she said, he proposed
that the Novaks put up the money,
he would get the stock and they
would share in any profit.
The arrangement was agreed to,
Mrs. Novak said, and she and her
husband put up $12,000 that was
paid over to Baker for the pur
chase of stock in the Mortgage
Guaranty Insurance Company of
Milwaukee.
Mrs. Novak identified docu
ments showing that 3,000 shares
of the stock later were sold for
$66,889, or a profit of $54,889. She
said the profits were split with
Baker.
The hearing was held in the big,
high-ccilinged S e n a t e Caucus
Room, scene of many Senate in
vestigations and the Senate's big
gest hearing room. However,
there were only a relatively few
spectators on hand when it
opened.
Mrs. Novak was asked if Baker
had ever said anything to her and
her husband about the possibility
of a favorable tax ruling that
would make the stock very prof
itable. She replied:

“No, I had no knowledge of
any such ruling.” GOP Senator
Carl Curtis of Nebraska asked why
the Novaks had agreed to share
any profit in the stock with Ba
ker. He suggested this was rather
unusual when Baker had invested
no money of his own.
Mrs. Novak said she knew of
no reason other than that she and
her husband, who was a Washing
ton area home builder, had been
in other joint ventures with
Baker.
She testified that Robert. Baker
repeatedly gave her large sums in
cash — a total of $31,000 to $32,000
— when she and her late husband
were partners with Baker in the
plush Carousel Motel at Ocean
City, Maryland.
The young widow explained to
Senate investigators that the
money was for expenses of the
business venture. She was asked—
“Did Mr. Baker say why he paid
such large amounts in cash?"
She said no, but that her cur
iosity was aroused. She said —
“I'm scared to go two blocks
with even $100."
She said she did not know’ where
Baker got the money, but her no
tations indicated she picked up
from $31,000 to $32,000 in cash
from Baker.
The Senate Rules Committee is
in its first public hearing on an
investigation into reported wheel
ing and dealing by Baker, former
Secretary to the Senate Demo
cratic Majority.
Baker resigned his $19,000 a
year job as secretary to the Senate
Democratic Majority in October
after questions w’ere raised about
his outside business affairs.

JUNEAU M — The Housing and

White Russian Gooses
End Up In Stew
Six fliers from the Soviet
Union have been shot down over
Washington State, but they were
snow geese, not airplanes.
The State Game Department has
learned the geese were banded by
the Russians on Wrangell Island,
Soviet Union territory in the Arc
tic Circle about 550 miles north
west of Nome.
That would be nearly 2,500
miles as the snow geese flies to
the Mt. Vernon area where five
of them were killed by Washing
ton hunters last season. The sixth
was shot near Ellensburg.
The Russians began banding the
geese on Wrangel Island a few
years ago and the first of them
showed up along the west coast
in 1960, the department said.
The agency said the handsome
white goose with black-tipped
wings was exposed to critical wea
ther hazards on the long flight
from the island.
