. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .
BY PETER EDISON
Monitor-Leader Washington
CORRESPONDENT

The whole course of Chinese
history may have been changed
one day back in 1912. when DR..
Theodore p. Dykstra set out
from Washington with l55
pounds of potatoes and 20
pounds of corn. The story is a
classic.
1t wasn't that DR.. Dykstra
wanted to eat the corn and TIA
tiers en- route TO China. They
were his most precious pieces OF
baggage. When he got on the
train at Washington, he wanted
TO take his groceries right into
the Pullman with him, and he
almost had fight about it with
the porter. Finally the seven
sacks of potatoes and corn we're
showed into the upper berth with
him, as compromise.
Going around South Africa,
the ship was wrecked. Some
how DR.. Dykstra hung onto his
baggage. and it was rescued
with him. Thereafter, DR.. Dyk-
stra and the potatoes and the
corn were flown across Africa.

India and over the hump TO

He won the opening lead with

the jack, led another spade,
went up with dummy's king and
East won with the ace.
East returned club, dunn
my's king won, the deuce of

the queen and returned another
club. Surrock won with the
ace, picked up the other two
trumps in the East hand, and
now had to take the diamond
finesse. But it wason and
thus, by the simple process OF
counting his tricks, Surrock was
able to make his doubled con-
tract.

a Hitler millions of devotees
can give millions of devotees TO
a true prophet or saint. The
ability to follow leadership is
basic in all hopes of better
world, and the direction of this
capacity into socially redeeming
courses is close to the center of
mankinds problem. Man has
within him the capacity TO be-
long to someone. He may insist
that he wishes to be free, but if
he interprets that desire as
meaning an isolated individual
ism, he denies one of the strong
est factors in him, the need of
belonging.

qualification of society, and

Irene Manning, the gorgeous
lady of light opera now in the
movies, said she thanks Gene
Autry every time she sings a
song.
Having just met Irene, We
were caught with our notebook
down.
What the devil could a gHitar-
wackin' cowboy crooner know
about light opera? And what
could a light opera star know
about the lone pralrie-e-e-e-e?
Irene Manning had a very
simple, and logical, explanation.

debut five years ago in a Gene

simple as you CAM.
Irene says she has been keep
ing EN- simple, like Gene Autry
recommended, ever since. 1t was
bit Of advice she'll never for
get, she said.
FILM ROLES
After appearing in several
westerns at Republic, she was
under contract at M-GM for a

ALL GRAND
CHAMPION SPUDS
The l55 pounds of potatoes
represented the grand champion
potatoes of 81 different varieties
raised in the United States, and
the 20 pounds Of corn were the
best hybrid seed corn that had
been grown in the middlewest
that year. DR.. Dykstra, who was
a u. s. Department Of Agricul-
ture specialist at the Beltsville,
Md, experiment station, had
taken this seed stock to China at
the request of the Chinese gov
eminent to the United States
government for the loan of an
expert who could give them ad-
vice on how TO increase their
food supply.
DR.. Dykstra had brought his
best advice with him and he

carefully, noting how each vari-

ease best, which thrived and
gave the greatest yield. Then
he cabled the United States for
100 pounds of four varieties of
seed. He'll plant them this
spring.
1t may take SO or 100 years
before the end of this story can
be written, when the seed has
multiplied by the Nth degree

what is now called the good

Financed by grants totaling

extended ever since the United
States was forced into the war.
Pearl Harbor stranded some
1500lChinese students in this
country. Chinese government
contributions aided 200. U. S.
government money aided 800
more. These students will be

five years.

That was more or less OF a

Chinese universities have been
brought to the United States to
spend a year in this country

subjects. They will be succeed
ed by six others, this June.
But China has wanted techni-

30 experts. So far, FL have been
sent-seven agricultural ex-
