Is there really face in the picture?
Well, yes. The photo was made in library
setting at the NBC studios in New York.
To provide fitting note of dignity, prop
man thoughtfully placed bust on one of
the bookshelves behind MIR. Hoover. With
TV lighting, the booksheIvcs disappeared,
but the white plaster bust W showed
through the smoke from Mr. Hoover's pipe
to create the ghostIy image.
Whose is the bust? Nobody's. It's
kind of plaster head occasionally used in

"A couple of thousand guys in

California has established its

Midwest Likes SeafOOd
Another industry problem on
the verge of being solved is
dehydration of frozen shrimp.
When moisture evaporates from
the shrimp in storage, the food
loses its pink color and attrac-
tiveness. Experts have found
that flash freezing the food
and then dipping it in water
helps seal in moisture.

firms have some 700 statesmen
constantly on the road, points

food tastes can be changed
Stuffed deviled crabs, once a
rarity in the Midwest, are en-
joying popularity everywhere
because of frozen food tech
niques. Sales of this item have
grown by 10 per cent each year
for the last decade-and ap-
