Troops Survive On Rice Handful Camp Pendleton, Calif.-IUPD - American combat troops can match the ability of Orientals to survive on a handful of rice with no apparent ill ef fects, Marine Corps officials report. Men of the 7th Regiment of the 1st Marine Division test ed the theory during a four day combat training exercise involving both conventional warfare techniques and counter-guerrilla maneuvers. Each man carried one pound of rice which had to be stretched into 12 meals. To supplement the rice diet, each man had one gallon of water a day, six ounces of raisins, eight ounces of dried apricots, 12 boullion cubes, 12 gum drops and small packages of coffee, tea, sugar and salt. Regimental medical authori ties said the average weight loss per man during the four days was six pounds which was "a normal loss for Ma rines on any exercise of com parable length." They said the Marines suffered no ap parent ill effects as a result of the limited diet. Col. F. B. Nihart, regiment al commander, said, "There are doubtless other types of rations - dehydrated and otherwise - that can be used to greater advantage in this type of situation; however, we used what we thought comparable as the staple food in certain areas in which we might someday be engaged."
