Truman Hits Legion Stand
NEW YORK —(U.P.)— Former President Truman said today the American Legion should have stayed out of politics and "doesn't know what it's talking about" in condemning UNESCO.
"I'm the only ex-president who is a Legionnaire, you know, and I'm sorry to see the boys get themselves into politics, as they have no business doing," he told reporters.
The former president's comments were directed at action taken by the American Legion at its convention yesterday in Miami. Members voted overwhelmingly to denounce UNESCO, the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The convention urged Congress to repeal the laws creating the United States commission to UNESCO. Increasing hostility to UNESCO has been evident among Legion leaders in recent days.
37 Pounds Of Cotton Nets $6.37 Fine
CUBA, Ala.- (U.P.) - Joe B. Killian planted 16 rows of cotton beside his filling station so tourists could "ston by and pick some free."
The Department of Agriculture ruled that he had planted the 2 acre patch with a 37-pound maximum yield without getting an official acreage allotment and fined him $6.37.
Surplus Rice Means U.S. Must Increase Use At Home
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Rice, the daily bread of more than half the world's people, may appear oftener on American tables in coming months.
Farmers around the globe now grow one-quarter more rice than they did at the end of World War II, says the National Geographic Society. Asiatic paddy fields, comprising more than 90 per cent of all rice land, yielded most of the glut, but new fields were opened and old ones improved in Australia, South America, and the United States.
The United States alone doubled its rice crop in the last 10 years, becoming the third largest exporter. With new mechanical aids, one farmer can manage 80 acres of rice compared to the one or two acres hand-tilled by his Oriental counterpart.
Americans Must Eat Rice Faced with a large government-owned world owned. American rice producers look to hype palates for relief.
Although Americans have maintained a steady appetite for rice while cutting down on potatoes and bread, their per capita take hasn't exceeded 5.7 pounds in any year' of the last decade.
Can people be induced to eat more of the fluffy white cereal? Yes, learn nutritionists, if more learn to cook it right. Many a
housewife pours most of the grain's flavor and food value down the drain. Washing rice before cooking can remove 40 per cent of the thiamine, the anti-beriberi vitamin. A new kind of rice is now being sold which has 92 per cent of its thiamine locked inside by a special parboiling process.
World War II Development
This process, developed during World War II, is but one of several advances in better and wider availability of rice. Scientists recently found a way to make a hard, high-polish household wax from rice bran. They also discovered that by replacing usual thickeners with waxy rice flour, pre-cooked frozen puddings, cake fillings, creamed sauces and gravies no longer curled when re-heated.
They have even found a use for rice hulls normally dumped or burned as waste. Hulls are being made into low-cec, lightweight building blocks. Superior insulators, they appear also to be good absorbers of radioactivity. Civil Defense officials are testing them for possible use in atomic war shelters.

LONDON— (U.P.)— Britain is planning to build an atomic submarine similar to the U. S. Navy's "Nautilus."
Adm. Earl Mountbatten said last night the admiralty has "for some time" been examining "the possibilities of atomic propulsion of men of war, more particularly for submarines."
TOKYO —(U.P.) Tokyo's population has passed the eight million mark, challenging New York and London for the title of the world's largest city. Sept. 1 population was 7,997,697 and the average monthly increase is 19,000 to give the eight million figure.
He said that plans "are now taking definite shape and though we shall not have a nuclear-powered submarine in the royal navy for some years, her arrival is only a matter of time."
