Red China has committed atrocities against Americans fight
ing in Korea; it still holds 32 American civilians "under bar
barous conditions without published charges;" it wilfully publicized
false evidence of spurious germ warfare charges in a hate cam
paign to blacken the U.S.; it executed millions of captive subjects
and forced other millions into slave labor, and it stoops to an
international extortion racket to get millions from overseas Chinese.

Placing in every event, the

meet for the second consecutive
year.
iFirst place honors were won
in platoon drill, individual ad
vanced, individual freshman and
individual pledge contests. The

vidual sophomore and crack
squad drill, winning third place
in rifle competition and in squad
drill.
JACK KEENE, Infantry ROTC

Individual first place citations
his masters degree andin 1924,
bandstedt and Blish made ex
tensive surveys of the baking
properties or Nebraska wheat.
The studies showed that the
wheat wasn't at fault but instead
the inadequate baking test meth
ods used by the industry.
SANDSTEDT'S recent work
has been in the field of starch.
He has used motion pictures
taken through a microscope to
show the gelatinization of starch.
The army, as well the the in
dustry, wanted to know what
makes bread stale. The baking
industry currently estimated that
we throw away about three per
cent of all bread baked because
of staleness.
His studies and those of other
cereal chemists lead Sandstedt to
believe that staling is caused by
changes in wheat starch. Starch
composed about 75 per cent of
the flour that goes into bread.
HE HAS teamed with other
researchers to add contributions
to the milling and baking in
dustry. He devised methods
which the industry needed in
order to improve bread-making.
Sandstedt and his associates
studied the maltose value of
bread and developed a method
of determining the value which
is still being used today. He also
gave the industry a guide for
testing the amount of gas created
by rising bread as well as other
analytical methods widely used
by cereal chemists.
ANOTHER MAJOR step to
ward improving bread came as
the result of Sandstedt and his
associates' work in isolating the
mam constitutents oi flour.
Sandstedt attended Ag Col
lege and earned both his bache
lor's and master's degrees there
He has been active in many
groups concerned with the mill'
ing and baking industry and
served as president of the
American Association of Cereal
Chemists in 1947-48.
Sandstedt has published nearly
100 articles in connection with
his research work during the
past 29 years.
