Another Renaissance. A Burman justice named Chow Mien, leading a delegation notable for magenta skirts and orange Aunt Jemima turbans, took up Nehru's song of independence from the white man's rule. So did Mustapha Momen of the Arab League, whose delegates represented distant Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia. Said he: "Liberty has dawned and the world is destined to witness another renaissance in Asia." The first voice which had raised a war cry of "Asia for the Asiatics" was missing.

G.I.s overseas in wartime had two pet chow-line peeves: 1) powdered milk, 2) powdered eggs. Last week, at the meeting of the American Chemical Society in Chicago, the combination was hailed as a lifesaver. The reason: thousands of G.I. ex-prisoners of the Germans might have died in U.S. rehabilitation camps but for the discovery that the stomach of a starving man, which rejects meat, cheese or whole milk, can accept much-needed protein in its blandest form...
