This kind of advice was being given to frequent callers last week by the Oregon Journal's cooking expert, Mary Cullen. Horsemeat, hitherto eaten as a stunt or only as a last resort, was becoming an important item on Portland tables. Now there were three times as many horse butchers, selling three times as much meat. In the Portland markets, horse sirloins are 35? a pound, while beef is $1.14; horse tenderloins 45?, compared to $1.95-$2.15 for beef.

...Hugh Roy Cullen, 68, of Houston. A spectacularly successful wildcatter, Cullen has given away more money than most men dream of. In one day, he gave away oil properties potentially worth $160 million to set up a Rockefelle-like foundation, has given other millions to hospitals, schools, and the municipal University of Houston. A crotchety all-out Dixiecrat, he has feuded with Jesse Jones, snapping: "Jones has been away from here for the last 25 to 30 years and has come back to Houston and decided, with the influence of ... a bunch of New York Jews, to run our city...
