AID OF STUDENTS
SOUGHT TO help
IN BIG PARADE
Will Take 175 To Carry Balloons
for Floats in Mammoth Parade
Here on December 18th

Persons in Oakland are beginning
to realize the gigantic size of the pre-
Christmas parade here when it was
learned this week that the aid of the
Oakland High school students was
being sought to carry the balloons for
the floats that were being brought
here especially for the event.
Charles L. Briner, president of the
Mt. Top Chamber of Commerce, asked
for 175 high school students at an
assembly on Tuesday and was as
sured of wholehearted cooperation.
The parade will be almost two and
one-half miles long and will take
from one and one-half to two hours
to pass one particular spot, he said,
1t will require an hour and half
prior to the parade to initiate the bal
looms but this is being provided for
in plenty of time so that the parade
will move off promptly at 2 o'clock.
Stores are to remain closed during
the parade.
The parade will form at Fixes field
and follow this route: Sth street to
Oak, Oak to Third, Third to Crook,
Crook to Second, Second to Penning-
ton, Pennington to Bartlett, Bartlett
to Liberty, Liberty to Second, Second
to Alder, and thence back to the
starting point. This particular route
is being taken so that one section will
not run into another, Mr.. Briner said.
He stated there would be five bands
in line in addition to the floats and
that Santa Claus would be in the pro-
cession.
He said State Police were here this
week checking over the territory and
that they would cooperate fully that
day The Oakland Fire department
members have been asked to act as
auxiliary police on that day.
Committees At Work

was outlined in full by Mr.. Coplin.
Stores are to remain open on
Thursday afternoons during Decem-
ber, prior to Christmas, and will re-
main open in the evenings until 9
o'clock, beginning December Is, in
Guiding Christmas Eve.

Polish Vitanains
Out of Product

My acquaintance with rice has
been a nodding one, furthered by
periodic visits to Chinese restau-
rants. When I ate the underpinning
of the celery sprouts and strips of
chicken, didn't realize that the
ancient Pharaohs Of Egypt would
have approved its polished white
ness. I didn't realize that that pol
ished whiteness had been achieved
by 10 different cleaning, milling and
polishing operations. And I GER
tainly didn't guess that those 10 op-
erations had robbed my rice Of 76
per cent of its thiamine, Sc per cent
of Its ribohavin and 50 per cent Of
its niacin and most Of its food
value.
White rice, it seems, is fetish
that goes back to the days Of the
Pharaohs when white was the SYM
boil Of royalty. Some unnamed chef
with deep sense Of the fitness Of
things didn't like the idea Of his
Pharaoh partaking of crude, pie
bian-looking rice. So he ordered the
royal millers to polish the grain to a
pearly whiteness. The millers COM
piled, never realizing they were pol
ishing the food value out Of the food.
The poor people of Egypt went !
ON eating their rough unpublished
rice. And nobody guessed why
they were healthier than their
rulers. This situation lasted
until the French revolution when
the revolutionaries insisted on
their right to keep up with the
royal Joneses. They wanted pol
ished white rice too-(and white
bread. They got it, and have
been getting it ever since. The
custom has persisted until today
when we still require our rice
millers to strip away more than
half the vitamins from our rice
and wheat.
This is not so important in potato
and bread-conscious America, but
in oriental countries where fire.

Long Memory
Aids Research

One day, however, he tried cook
ing and canning the patna variety
Of rice from India. The results were
somewhat more encouraging. The
canned kernels seemed less gela-
tinous. almost fluffy. Then he re-
membered something he'd read
about the natives of Assam. It
seemed these natives suffered less
from beri beri than did natives Of
other oriental regions. Malek took
to the research books, and discov-
cred that the Assamites parboiled
their rice. That Is, they soaked it
for days in water to loosen the tough
hulls, then they steamed it.
:. Up to that point Malek had
been trying to can polished
white rice. Rice whose vitamin-
filed bran layers had been
cleaned, hulled, milled, secured
and polished away. This was
the first mention Of the treat
ment Of rough paddy rice be-
fore it was milled. He leaped
on It as Q possible clue.
He managed to get from a friend
bag Of rough paddy rice-prepaid
fortunately, for by this time. Malek
was walking to and from his expert

quently the word ''rice" and .'food'
are synonymous, it's something else
again. Six hundred thirty million
orientals derive more than 40 per
cent Of their food calories from rice
and II the rice Is polished, they
are losing vital nutritional values
at every meal.
Malek became rice-conscious back
in 1888 when one of his friends
wished aloud that he could figure
out some way to increase rice con-
sumption in the United States.
At that time, tons of rice were
rotting in the California rice
fields for want of a market. Each
season, this country's rice growers
were being left with a surplus of
at least three million bags Of rice.
The industry was slowly going
broke.
Malek went at the problem in the
approved American tradition. He
polled representative California
housewives to find out why they
weren't serving more rice at their
dinner tables. He learned that they
were tired Of burned pots and pans
and sticky gunmy rice. If we
could only buy canned rice, ready
to heat and serve" they would sigh.
Malek tried to oblige. For several
months, he cooked rice and canned
rice 49, in his own home, in indus
trial kitchens, in government lab
oratories. But the rice invariably
looked and tasted like -four paste.

mental laboratory. unable TO afford
even Q car token.
He soaked the rice for days.
When he needed to parboil the rice
in steam, he found an unused ster-
ilizer at a nearby hospital where the
internes were glad to help him. Even
his neighbors in his apartment
building were on hand to help him
spread the parboiled rice on the
roof to dry. ~
Now he had his precious parboiled
paddy rice. But the tough hulls on
the kernels posed a problem. An
ordinary rice mill handles rough
rice in carload lots. The only way
for Malek to mill hundred pounds
was to find a hand mill. Well, he
found a hand mill and ground the
hulls from the rice. The rice was
canned, and this time the kernels
that rolled out were hard, dark,
chocolate colored and separate.
At that time, Malek didn't know
he had accidentally driven the wa
ter-soluble bran layers into the rice
kernel itself. He only knew this rice
was distinctly different than any he
had canned before.
What he had to do then was to
determine the length of time to soak
the rice, what temperature to use.
under what steam pressure to par
boil it. 1t took Malek months, work.
ing with makeshift equipment to
hit upon the right formula.
Finally he obtained rice which,
when canned, came out fluffy, with
each grain separate and perfectly
tender. The layers of bran driven
into the kernel impaired a differ
ent nut-like bran davor-and the
long cooking at high temperature
had made the rice sterile. But the
best part of all-which he discov-
cred through scientific analysis
was the fact that this new rice was
unbeievably rich in vitamins.
The army and navy were inter-
ested, and Malek offered them his
patents for the wars duration. At
the present time he's busy licensing
rice mills here and abroad to use
his process.
About the only thing he has
left to worry about now is how
60 obtain the rice i'm order to
process 1t. The rice supply, as
I any gr0cery-haunting housewife
will know, is not what it used
to be. The world supply of rice
is short this year, and large
percentage Of rice raised in the
United States has been all0cated
to countries where rice is sta
pie food. This scarcity explains
why rice, along with sugar and
syrup, Is the only food still re-
naming under price control.
But once the world supply In
creases, there'1l be more rice, more
nutritious rice, more flavorful rice.
Furthermore, Malek guarantees
that the brand-new bride won't have
to make any last-minute, switches
In the dinner menu because the rice
she cooked turned out all wrong.
Oh! .-- what about the Aramaic
classics? I couldn't do justice to
that one not without little more
space and a lot more help from

Campaign of Slogans
Luckman Fails to Offer Any Plans
For Concrete Food Saving Program

He especially shrank from Sena-
tor Taft's blunt "eat less" but finally
agreed that he wanted America to
eat less meat, eggs, poultry, cheese,
though they could make it UP on
other things. The President has
said that the bulk of grain savings
must come from reduced feeding of
grain to cattle. Mr.. Luckman said
they would consult" with farmers
about it. Regarding prices, he said
the law of supply and demand op-
Grating through this voluntary pro-
gram would have a beneficial effect
If voluntary cooperation fails,
Mr.. Luckman said, his committee

Signment; they can do no more.
Has No Big Stick.
1t is a massive assignment. Mr..
Truman said he had to get Eat least"
100, ,000, 900 more bushels of grain for
Europe through voluntary savings.
Last year his Emergency Famine
Committee got only about 10000, 900
bushels extra in a drive reinforced
by action and a big stick. Price
control and rationing were still in
effect: various restrictions on pro-
cessing were enforced.
Chester Davis, an AAA alumnus,
now president of the Federal Reserve
Bank Of st. Louis, headed that drive.
He is member of the present COM
mittee, but repeatedly backed away
from directing it because it will not
be reinforced by some kind of big
stick.
Public reaction must be awaited,
but White House policeman who
heard about the press conference
melee had discouraging contribu-

He began instead to generalize about

This is the kind of bureaucratic
jargon which Maury Maverick in an

precipitated one of the most acid

finally emerged. The committee

or isn't ready to announce any con-

It's slogans "Buy Cheaper Cuts" and
the rest will now be hurled inces-

man language calls mass media.
Mr.. Luckman did dredge up a

he enjoyed press conferences, he
said "No!"

ganization on Unemployment Relief.
Named to head it was Walter S.
Clifford, president of the A. T. 81 T.,
one of Americas ablest young busi-
ness executives. It labored through
the long, hungry winter of 1872
and the principal result of its labors
was what was called share the
work" plan. The plan was a howl
ing failure.
The idea was that those who had
work would share it with those who
didn't have work. One OF two
labor organizations with limited
membership, such as the Typo
graphical Union, adopted the plan
but for the most part the response
to Mr.. Gifford's appeal was, in
effect, that there wasn't enough
work to share.
Starts With Objective.
Now President Truman has set up
a Citizens Food Committee and
named as its chairman another able
young business executive, Charles
Luckman, president of Lever Broth
ers. However, this committee is not
seeking a plan. It starts with one,
or at least with a clear objective.
This Is, share the food" meaning
share the food with Western
Europe.
The plan need not be bowling
failure, for we do have the food to
share. The plan will be based
largely on educational advertising,
or to use a word we've been taught
to abhor, propaganda. The young
chairman is recognized as an ad-
vertisng genius. He is certain to
nave the cooperation of every
medium OF publicity Before he is
through there will be few citizens
unaware of Western Europe's des-
perate plight and our own selfish
need to relieve the situation over
there. A reduction of our own reck-
less wasting in order to make the
food available can be predicted.
This is part of the Presidents
stopgap program, based on the un-
certain assumption that if we can
tide the people of Europe over the
coming winter the threat of political
collapse will be averted in the coun-
tries affected. 1t is only part OF
the program, however, another part
being the payment for the food we
save to be shipped to Europe. The
President has suggested that Con-
gress convene in time to vote the
necessary money. Present funds will
be exhausted by December /, he las
said. He hasn't actually called Con-

gress; seems to want Congress to call
itself, which it could do.
There are those, such as the Re-
publican leader, Senator Taft, who
have not yet been convinced of the
emergency. Maybe Charles Luck
man can convince them. At the
moment Senator Taft believes the
President, if he searches all his
pockets, can find the needed mil
lions and won't have to depend on
Congress.
Senator Taft could be wrong. If
he is, the food we are persuaded to
save won't reach the people we save
it for.
But even If the President should
find the money or even if Senator
Taft relents and joins in a call for
Congress to meet and vote the
money, we will have provided only
what the President has called it
a stopgap against starvation. We will
not have set up real and lasting
barrier against either Russian ambi-
ton or Communist theology.
We will have done nothing to
prevent the consequences of our
own imitation, still reaching upward
day by day. For some time now we
have had the picture of Stain
grimly, or even cheerfully, waiting
for the economic collapse which he
has been taught always follows an
imitation such as ours. Presumably
he can wait out another winter
The real question may be whether
we can.
