too many) about livermush Delicious Which calls for another word: Distinctive Which commands another: Neglected Plus an explanation and eulogy of this utilitarian meat product peculiar to Carolina Sons and daughters of Carolina forced by circumstance to live anywhere else in the Union or abroad inevitably experience an indescribable home sickness ith autumn's first crisp morning a yearn ing signaled by a vibrato of the palate Ultimately the palate's unrequieted passion is identified Livermush Or liver pudding But whether one lies abroad or in Louisville Akron Tulsa South Bend Pittsburgh wherever a Tar Heel's search for livermush is doomed to failure Managers of delicatessens butcher shops restaurants never heard of it Indeed a request for livermush outside of Carolina to judge from reaction might as well be a request for a sky hook or a window Crime-Fighting DA In Illegal Gambling New Chapel Hill Ordinance Forces 'Flower Ladies' To Move But Law Was Aimed At Long-Haired Youths Average Bill Now Duke NC Tops $17 Make It Official Were glad to hear from Southern Bell exec David Holmes formerly of Atlanta now of Louisville but vacationing now in his native Charlotte that he too is indignant that livermush's fame has been restricted the Carolinas Actually one reason he comes back to Charlotte is to load up with several pounds of liver-mush to tide him over the bland breakfast months in Louisville Nobody has any answer any explanation for this phenomenon Neese's Wilson's Jamison's all Carolina producers of sausage and livermush shed little light They know only that livermush has been a Carolina favorite for at least a century and that the receipe probably evolved from efforts of farmers at hog-killing time to utilize all parts of the hog Thus while souse meat (the diced fat of hogshead UGH!) is popular in the East and Midwest the mixture of ground liver hogshead cornmeal and spices is strictly a Tar Heel and Palmetto staple By these lights livermush should be declared the official state meat and it certainly deserves our best promotional efforts Livermush hors d'ouevres served I to out-of-state visitors certainly could hold their own with pate de fois gras or the late Cameron Morrison's I version of caviar "feesh algs" Livermush fried deep brown is a with-eggs 1 breakfast favorite Livermush cold or hot with or without mustard and onions is a satisfying snack day or night And you either love it savoring both smell and taste or you (YLTK!) leave it unable even to stand the sound of the word Charged Payoffs "I expected this" Garrison said "but it's better than get Ong shot The war sector killed John Kennedy to open the war in Vietnam I said then I would keep pushing until they killed me and I will" The Justice Department said Garrison received a $1000 payoff Tuesday night only hours before he was charged The government affidavit named Pershing Gervais as the informant who exposed Garrison Gervais said he was the "middleman" who for nine years delivered bimonthly payments of from $2000 to to Garrison and the two police officers Charged with Garrison were: Frederick A Saule 51 a police captain assigned to Garrisons staff Robert

conspiracy "set up in Washington" was arrested Wednesday on federal charges of taking bribes for nine years to protect illegal gambling on pinball machines Garrison 51 elected 10 years ago with a promise to be a tough crime fighter said it was a frame-up Charged with him were two police officers a captain and the sergeant who beads the New Orleans vice squad and seven men connected with the pinball industry They were charged with Gas Price Fixing May Be Forbidden Associated Press WASHINGTON The Justice Department filed a proposed consent judgment Wednesday forbidding eight major oil companies from fixing gasoline prices Attorney General John Mitchell said the proposed judgment was filed in US District Court in Newark NJ The judgment becomes final in 30 days and will terminate an antitrust suit filed against the companies April 8 1965 The eight companies agreeing to the judgment are American Oil Co Atlantic-Richfield Cities Service Oil Co Cities Service Co Gulf Oil Corp Humble Oil Refining Co Sinclair Refining Co and Mobil Oil Corp The six-year-old suit had charged these firms with conspiring to fix gasoline prices at two levels the price at which gasoline is sold to dealers and the retail price at which dealers sell to the pub- lie in New Jersey Pennsylvania and Delaware The suit charged that the conspiracy lasted from at least 1955 until 1965 in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act The suit also charged that Atlantic both Cities Service companies and Gulf had conspired to monopolize the sale of gasoline in the three slates also in violation of the antitrust act Tom Neese of Neese's Co Greensboro says that "regional tastes" are accountable for the fame of liver-mush in the and its anonymity outside Near est thing to it beyond the borders is scrapple a Philadelphia favorite scrapple being simply that scraps from the hog certainly with less merit in quality or I food value than livermush A spokesman for the commission said the investigation resulting in the proposed complaints stemmed from a Boston Globe article sent to the commission by a consumer Under normal procedures the two firms are given 60 Jini Garrison Was a tsnaw Prosecutor Ilik bribery illegal gambling and obstructing law enforcement Shaw "Sooner or later I had to be charged" said Garrison who had to be helped slumping into court by two men because of a chronic back ailment "I thought a few years ago they would shoot me It's an obvious frame I thought I'd be Charged by the federal government with something" Garrison tried but failed two years ago to convict New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw of conspiring with Lee Harvey Oswald and others to assassinate Kennedy "The actual planning was set up in Washington" Garrison said According to a 113-page Justice Department affidavit in the bribery case an informer who once was a member of Garrison's staff said he was the "middleman" for montlity payoffs of up to $1500 to the district attorney and the two police officers The government said tape recordings of conversations during some of the alleged transactions protecting illegal pinball gambling were part of its case Garrison appeared before US Magistrate Ingard

which would change the constitution by lowering the voting age to I "But regional tastes are explicit" he says 114Tongue for instance A big delicacy in the North Nothing" Neese emphasizes the range of regional tastes with an example of types of sausage mixes preferred in the adjoining tastes of Oklahoma and Texas Sausage considered hot and heavily seasoned in Oklahoma would be considered mild a few hundred miles south in Texas ''It's just what people grow up with" he said Home in other words is where the heart and taste buds were cultivated If you were reared and happily in Chicago then lamb chops make your own chops water If you had your beginnings in Dixie you wouldn't trade one succulent pork chop for all the legs of lamb in the stockyards But as for livermush "We've been making and distributing it here for 60 years" says Wilson Sr "but you can forget marketing it anywhere except in Carolina ormaybe a little corner of Virginia" No Social Status For some reason nobody can explain either liver-mush has no real social status You won't find it at the country clubs though most members undoubtedly were brought up loving it along with "soup beans" You'll find it in the markets and you'll find it in the hard-hat diners A few years ago only one downtown eatery had livermush on the menu The owner the late "Mac" McKinnon explained that it was a sentimental thing him When he was a kid and poor he was ashamed to cat the livermush sandwiches his mania fixed for his lunch at Elizabeth School while the other kids ate fancy pimiento cheese "Mac" spent all his adult life being ashamed of being ashamed of what his mama had fixed hence ermush headed the daily menu of his South Tryon Street restaurant until his death It's dadgurnmed high time all Tar Heels stopped being
