Standards
Are SetUp
For Rice

Acting to improve the nutri-
tional value of a basic food. the
Food and Drug Administration
this week published a standard
of enrichment for milled rice.
The standard specifies the
vitamins and amounts to be
added to milled rice where q
rice packer chooses to market
an enriched product.
FDA explained that the ac-
ton is a part of the Nations
food enrichment program to
help in correcting dietary de-
ficiencies in various segments
of the population. Deficiencies
have occurred where the diet is
restricted to a very few foods.
Areas where rice is q regular
and preferred part of the diet
would beneflt particularly from
the enrichment program.
At the present time there is
no rice on the market which
fully conforms with the stand
ard. There are several prod
uctS which contain varying
amounts of some of the en-
riching ingredients. South
Carolina has a compulsory en-
richment standard which is
the same as the new Federal
standard except that riboflavin
is an optional ingredient.
The FDA standard would
assure the consumer that rice
labeled enriched" has amounts
of thiamine. ribofiavin, niacin
and iron that are used in
other enriched cereal products,
as recommended by nutrition
lists. Also, it would enable the
homemaker to avoid loss Of
these vitamins in cooking, the
agency said.
The standard allows two en-
richment processes. One proc
ess makes the product rinse
resistant t"-resistant to loss of
vitamins when it is rinsed be-
fore cooking. FDA explained.
In such rice a proportion Of
the kernels is impregnated
with the vitamins and these
kernels have q golden yellow
color due to the ribofiavin
content. The standard would
require packers to test this
product to make sure that the
loss in rinsing is kept to a
specified minimum.
In another enrichment proc
ess all the rice is coated with
the enriching ingredients. This
rice is not changed appreciably
In color. Its label would in
clude the caution: do not
rinse before or drain after
cooking"
These provisions Of the
standard insure that the
added nutrients win reach the
consumer II the cooking In
structions are followed.

Hollywood has played its
overture to the Academy
awards and this is always an
occasion for gratitude on the
part of men with Sunday COL
sumns to write.
The overture. Of course.
takes the form of the nomina-
tons Of the many times five
candidates for the Oscars.
The columnists' gratitude
grows out of the circumstance
that the nominations give
them a chance to turn touts.
Guessing the winners in each
category of five candidates is
an old pastime. 1t is also an
endlessly fascinating one at
which some players have de-
veloped considerable skill.
Shattering UpSets
OF course. there have been
some shattering upsets of
form. as for example when
1.-THE Greatest Show on
Earth" outran High Noon"
In a race on which the film
critics would have given odds
Of l00-to-1 on the latter.
These exceptions, however,
are rare enough that few ad-
diets of prophecy are deferred
from coming back year after

the heart out Of them is the
study of such discouraging
nominations as Dorothy Ma

an Oscar to a movie is a mil
lion.
The effect Of Oscar on q
star? That is unpredictable.
Much has been written about
the Academy Award ink.
Many Oscar winners have gone
from Oscar to obScurity in a
year-but 1t was not Oscars
fault.
Temperament, Not Oscar
Luise Rainier won two years
In a row as best actress. Then
she wasn't getting parts any
more. Studio people in the
know report temperament, not
Oscar. was the reason.
Others have upped their
price too drastically after win
ming an Oscar. One supporting
actor winner went from $15,-
600 q picture to 100000 the
next day. He was out Of work
two years. He liked booze. too.
Ego is another reason. An
actor gets an Oscar role and
then refuses to do any others
unless they measure up-and
Oscar roles don't come along
every day.
It's amazing how many good
actors and actresses never
have won Oscars. John Bar
rymore and Greta Carlo usu.

greatest performers in the his
tory Of the movies. They never
won.

among the voters.
Settler employed two gim-
micks that overcame these
menacing obstacles.
Good Merchandise
First off he started daily
series Of newspaper advertise
ments months before the
awards. Each ad was clever
and each had the same car
toon drawing of Borgnine dial
ing a pay phone-a key scene
in the movie.
BY the time the awards
came, everybody but the blind
knew about Borgnine and

The other was a psychology

ate income voters and opinion
makers feel like studio tycoons.

knew Ernie and the picture de-
served an Oscar. 1t was just
a case Of selling good mer-
chandise."
So successful was the sell
that the night Borgnine won
his Oscar. he presented mir1ia-
ture ones TO Settler ana MS
assistant. Arthur Wilde.
She Rested on Talent
"They won it. too" Borgnine
explained gratefully.
Magnani. in contrast, re-
fused to do anything her pub
licity advisers wanted. When
Producer Hal Wallis asked her
to come to New York to attend
the opening of THE Rose
Tattoo" she cabled no thanks.
"Magnani wants to be judged
only on her performance. not
her handshaking ability" she
told Wallis. 1t was an answer
in keeping with her outspoken
Italian character and it worked
with the voters.
Insiders say she captured
the So-called snob vote Of the
academy-those in Hollywood
who looked down their noses
at Oscar politicking. That and

Even Lindbergh Himself Gosped
At Montz' S Added Touch of Dromo

HOLLYWOOD R. Leave
1t to famed speed pilot Paul
Mantz to outdramatize Col.
Charles Lindbergh.
Mantz directed the aerial
photography on 1.-The Spirit
Of st. Louis" the movie de-
plotting Lindbergh's historic
nonstop flight from New York
to Paris in 1927.
Paul and his staff recon-
structed two exact full-size
flying models Of the Lind
bergh monoplane-one for
shots on this side Of the At

on the other side. The At

However, the most thrilling
shot Of the picture was not

Neither was 1t intentional"
Mantz discloses. That was
the shot OF the takeof from
Roosevelt Field when one of
the planes actually brushed
high tension wires.
1t was a scene that brought
a gasp from preview specta-
