Washington U.R) Centuries ago the Chinese used seaweed for food. Since then it's been a fertilizer, a fuel, a "cure" for tuberculosis and goiter, an es sential in the manufacture of some munitions and now again is being studied for possible food value. University of California sci entists believe investigations un der way along the Pacific coast may uncover vital sources of nu tritive food In kelp or seaweed along the beaches. It Is already being harvested on the east coast as far south as the Carolinas. The- surveys prompt the Na tional Geographic society to re call seaweed history that began when ancient Chinese gathered. boiled and ate "pond weed" and 'duck weed." American Indians refused to eat salt believing it turned hair gray and hastened death but they did get their full quota of the mineral by gathering and eating "sea lettuce." More than 75 edible varieties grow in the Hawaiian islands. In Iceland, it has been the cus tom for generations to haul sea weed onto the beaches, bury It in deep trenches and then tamp it into solid cakes. In the winter time chunks of it are broken off and fed to cattle. ' As far back as 1835, the vari ety known as Irish moss was im ported from Ireland as a sure cure for tuberculosis, its sellers said. They sold it here for prices ranging from one to two dollars a pound. During the World War the Germans used dried seaweed to seal grenades. It expanded when exposed to high humidity, pushed a small metallic firing point against an ampule contain ing the powder and exploded the grenade. The present experiments in harvesting kelp from the Pacific coastal waters is resurrecting an industry neglected since the World War. Then it was used as substitute for German potash m manufacturing fertilizers. The present supply Is expected to replace soma of the valuable gums which can no longer be obtained, the society says. Most of the Maine-to-Carolln seaweed, of the Irish variety. Is now processed for use in pud dings, medicines, cosmetics and lotions. It is also the substance that stabilizes chocolate In a chocolate drink so that it doesn't separate from the milk and sink to the bottom of the bottle. FOREIGN POLICY VOTE EFFORT IS ALLIES MISSED BOAT IN ITALY By United Press Lieut Gen. Kurt Dietmar, German war commentator, as serted today that the Allies could have landed In Italy and gained control of the greater part of the countrry if they had acted soon after Benito Mussolini was deposed ' is Italian premier on July 25. Dietmar was quoted by the Berlin radio that German forces in Italy were far too weak at the time of Mussolini's fall to cope with any Allied landing in force. "The Allies had every meant to carry out such landings," he said. "Nothing and nobody could have prevented them from doing it. But they relied on political circumstances following Musso lini's ouster rather than on their unquestionably superior military strength.'' Washington.
