THE MICHIGAN DAILY Truman Plan Will Stress Airiculture WASHINGTON - (P)) - In the beginning, much of President Truman's "bold new program" of teaching underdeveloped nations American skills will be centered on agriculture. That's because any improve- ment in living levels must be built on well-fed peoples. Surveys show that two thirds of the world's population is undernourished. * * * IN CARRYING out a program for improving farming skills abroad, Mr. Truman has two ma- jor agencies at his disposal. One is the Food and Agriculture Organi- zation (FAO) of the United Na- ,ions. The other is the U.S. De- partment of Agriculture. There are indications that the United States may not channel Its activities through FAO, but undertake them on its own... In outlining his program in his inaugural address, Mr. Truman did mention United Nations or- ganizations such as the FAO. He did indicate that there would be cooperation with them. NEVERTHELESS, initial steps in his program indicate the Unit- ed States will do much of the work on its own. The department's program started back in 1939 as part of the "Good Neigbbor" policy toward Central and South "America. It now covers 15 West- ern Hemisphere countries. By next year the department plans to extend it to such Eastern Hemisphere countries as Afghan- istan, Iran, the Philippines, Siam nand Syria. THAT EXTRA TOUCI: Opera Rehearsal, Coeds Enliven.Book Exchange _ Y I A Dormnory News DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN By JOHN DAVIES Only the Union Opera chorus rehearsal across the hall and the assistance of coeds from the League made life for, IFC Bpok Exchange Manager Dick Morrison tolerable these last few weeks. Morrison admits a certain sat- isfaction in the running of a ser- vice which handled more than 6,000 books and $4,000. * * * AT TIMES the exchange was so busy and took in so much money that Morrison had to lean close to his desk to prevent the money from falling on the floor. But at other times, in Morri- Prof. Titiev Will Speak t AYC Meeting In an attempt to acquaint all students with the purposes and programs of the American Vet- erans' Committee, campus AVC officials have planed a "Know Your AVC" get-together at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the League. Featured speaker at this initial spring meeting is Prof. Mischa Titiev of the anthropology depart- ment, who will comment on the emergence of nationalism in the Far Eastern area. Formerly associated with OSS in China, Prof. Titiev will discuss the significance of recent cap- italist and Communist movements in the Orient. He is expected to include the New Delhi conference, Indonesian developments and the overall effects of a Communist- dominated China. After his address a short film, "Asia Speaks," will be presented. son's eyes, the exchange wasn't busy enough. A lack of customers he explain- ed in this way. Freshmen don't know about the exchange and don't find out about it until they become sophs, just in time to load the exchange with freshmen books. These don't sell, the student be- comes disgusted with the ex- change. doesn't come back until he's a senior and ready to move out of town, making it hard to send him his checks. CERTAIN TEXTS seemed to change every year, he said, caus- ing the shelves to groan with obso- lete editions. "But," Morrison said, looking happier, "the -fact that the Union Opera is holding chorus helhearsals across the hall with an 'open door' policy increased our efficiency 100 percent." And the human element gave Morrison's smooth -running ma- chine a few jolts. Students expect the exchange to sell everything from their complete libraries to two-bit pocket books, and sell any- thing they can't find any place else-like a Finnish dictionary, he complained. "SOMEBODY asked us for the text to Arboretum 107," he said. "We referred him to 'Amour', a French text. One title that sold like hoteakes was a symposium on the Kinsey Report, which we put in the psychology section." Slide rules, drawing kits and other similar objects found their way to the exchange room, 3C of the Union. One fellow, Morrison reports, brought in a pen to sell, explaining he'd flunked out of school.
