...never "H. H." This week the House Un-American Activities Committee opened a hearing. On the stand, Racey Jordan repeated his charges; but this time said he had spoken to Hopkins only once.

Burma exported about 3,000,000 tons of rice before the war. This year's exports will be less than 1,000,000. Next year the government hopes to have 730,000 tons for export, but many believe the figure will be lower...
