Chiong's Troops
Refuse to Like
Sweet Potatoes
By the Associated Press

TAIPEH. Formosa, April 18.-
United States military advisers
here have found Chinese Nation
alist troops apt pupils, with one
exception. They don't like sweet
potatoes.
Maj. Gen. William c. Chase's
military assistance advisory
group has tried without success
to promote the sweet potato as
a delicacy.
Sweet potatoes, in addition to
being nutritional, are just about
the cheapest food in Formosa
If soldiers would eat more sweet
potatoes they would eat less rice
Then there would be more rice
for export-a valuable source of
foreign exchange.
The United States experts ex-
plain patiently and repeatedly
that every one would be happier
and healthier if Chinese soldiers
liked sweet potatoes. But Gen
Chang Kai-Shek's troops don't

Eight Civil Rights
Bills Introduced BY
Sen. n. Humphrey

Washington. d. C.--Sen. HUI
bert Humphrey CDFL-Minn) in
troduced eight civil rights bills In
the Senate Tuesday. These bills
were sponsored by a group Of
eight senators. The bills carry out
the recommendation OF the i947
Presidents commission on civil
rights and later recommendations
by the Justice department.
We believe that our bills com
prise a legislative program for
human rights thoroughly consis-
tent with the platforms OF both
the Democratic and Republican
parties" Sen. Humphrey stated.
The bills were separately draft
ed and introduced separately. The
strategy behind this move Is to
give Congress an opportunity TO
enact whichever Of the bills
meets their approval.
Humphrey said:
The Republican party now has
the responsibility for legislation
in the Senate. We offer complete
cooperation to the majority lead
ership for the enactment Of any
Of these bills, although we would
like to see all OF them become
law"
The eight civil rights bills call
for legislation to make lynching
a federal crime: TO abolish the poll
tax as q requirement for voting;
to reorganize the Department of
Justice for the protection Of
civil rights. by elevating the civil
rights unit In the Justice depart
ment to the status of a division
under an assistant attorney gen
eral; to provide relief against GER
tain forms Of discrimination in
interstate transportation; to
strengthen existing civil rights
statutes in accordance with rec
concentrations OF the justice de-
partment; TO tighten our federal
laws to protect the right to pol
itical participation; to tighten the
anti-peonage statutes in accord
ance with recommendations of
the Justice department; and to
establish a joint congressional
committee on civil rights.
Humphrey announced that he
was not at this time introducing
a bin to establish equal opportun.
ity in employment. Such a bill. he
said, would soon be introduced by
Senator Ives Of New York with
himself and others As cosponsors
The bills were co-sponsOred by
