UN Diplomats Endorse Bid Made By Dulles Bid To Red China To Drop Plans To Assault Formosa UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JNS) — UN diplomats endorsed today U.S. secretary of state John Foster Dulles’ bid to Red China to drop plans to attack Formosa. At the same time they expressed hope that the Peiping regime would consider its rejection of an invitatiop to come to. the UN to participate in Formosa cease-fire talks. , l . ’ -2 Dulles' New York speech was regarded by many at the UN as a hint that the U.S. might negotiate on Quemoy and Matsu if the Reds agreed to take part in Security Council discussions on a truce. As a result, extensive significance was attached to an address made in St. Louis Wednesday night by ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., chief American delegate to the UN. . Lodge, who conferred with UN secretary general IMg Hammarskjold before leaving for St. Louis, stressed that the U. S. had begun extensive consultations with other council members on tnlce possibllities. Lodge emphasized that the U. S. was striving with its allies in the security council to end the shooting off the China coast and said the UN “must continue to seek that objective.** His statement was made In St. Louis soon after Dulles in NSw York alluded to the necessity of continuing UN negotiations on the Formosa strait settlement, Lodge declared that “the importance of stopping the fighting is as great as it ever was, regardless of Communist vituperation” over the question of "liberating’* Formosa. Emphasizing that the U. 8. -with its allies in the council is pursuing serious and determined efforts to effect a truce in the Formosa strait, the youthful American diplomat added: “Let no one think that this Is futile or academic exercise in the security council. .We axe looking for an end to the fighting on terms acceptable to free men. “We still hope we shall get that result Even If -we should fall, at all events our debates in the security council wil) make mpch clearer to the whole’ world who it. is that is disturbing and disrupting peace in the area of Formosa.’* . _

Eating Habits Os Many Are Changed Shortages Os Food Brought Changes WASHINGTON (IN’S) — In many places around the globe, shortage of food during World War II and Immediately thereafter caused many people to change their eating habits. Mostly it was a case of consumers buying those ' foods which would give them the most energy for the least money. Nutrition experts now say that, with the general Improvement in economic conditions, there la a strong inclination for tha old prewar chplces in foods to reassert themselves. y In some areas, this trend is still being held back by shortages and prices. In others, it appears that newly-acquired food habits are here to stay. Europeans, for example, depended heavily on grain products and potatoes to carry them through the tougher period. Now they’re eating much less of these starchy foods and more meat, eggs and vegetable fats. Experts believe the pendulum might have swung even further back the other way, had the Europeans been able to buy ail they wanted of meat and other high priced items they must import in substantial quantities. ■ One yery significant fact is that in a number of countries milk consumption has been stepped up sharply through education programs and,, in some cases, government subsidies. . Reduced demands for hlgh-prlc-ed butter also has encouraged the sale of more dairy products in the form of fluid milk. This is one change the experts believe will - i. ; The changed situation tn batter and oleomargarine consumption in the U. S. Is a good example of what pride relationships will do. A few years back many Americans wouldn’t have touched oleo with a 10-foot pole. But last year they consumed per capita almost equal amounts'Of butter and margarine — nine million pounds as compared with eight million, 300 thousand pounds. Until the last few months, oleo was gaining rapidly on butter. At the moment, however, sales of both are increasing. ' tn the ricdeating areas of the Far East, the postwar scarcity of that cereal and accompanying high prices produced another significant change — the substitution of Wheat products for rice. Now rtce te-rebuiwly plentiful again. In fact, the U. 8- has a large surplus and the pride has been falling Without doubt there will be a, definite swlnlf hSJck’ to greater rice consumption, but there tea feeling that >heat will, hang onto at least part of its newly found markets, number of countries government * planned form. .programs, sireeaiM wtrltiobAl ygiiew may produce changes i* hating habits.
