Nine years in the developing, Mixture Eight was the discovery of Scrimshaw and two other nutrition scientists, Dr. Robert L. Squibb of Rutgers University and Dr. Moises Behar, a Guatemalan pediatrician. It contains 50% corn meal, 35% high-protein sesame meal, 9% cottonseed meal, 3% Kikuyu grass (for vitamin A) and 3% nonfermenting yeast. The mixture cooks into a tasty porridge or a cake that tastes like the familiar tortilla. Last year Scrimshaw tried it on a test group of Guatemalan children. Said Scrimshaw: "The children had swollen bellies, black skin, open sores, were apathetic, suffered from lack of appetite...

On Mamie Eisenhower's telegraphed invitation, the Castillo Armases toured the White House-and nearly bumped into a group of touring Russian housing experts...
...Then the Guatemalan party flew to Manhattan, where, based at the Waldorf-Astoria, the visiting President attended a special birthday Mass (he turned 41 last week) at St. Patrick's Cathedral, breakfasted with Francis Cardinal Spellman, got showered with ticker tape on lower Broadway, received honorary degrees from Columbia and Fordham, hustled through a round of conferences with such U.S. notables as Ralph Bunche, James A. Farley and United Fruit President Kenneth Redmond. At week's end the visitors were off on a U.S. tour that would include a friendly talk with Ike in Denver and the Vanderbilt...
