Stokowski Is Criticized
For Army Band Experiments
B! the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Representative Bender, Repubh-
can, of Ohio doesn't like the expert
ments by Leopold Stokowski, this
orchestra director, with an Army
band at Fort Macarthur, Calf.
He told the House yesterday that
Mr.. Stokowski proposed ito revolu-
tionize military music and to send
soldiers into battle formation to the
tunes of mobile musicians"
Picture the possibilities" he con-
tinued, ''as the tank dips into a
sharp and unexpected hollow, the
cries of anguish from the perturbed
saxophone players would probably
frighten the enemy to quick and
decisive retreat unless the soldiers
| themselves would first throw up
their guns in anguish to shut their
ears.
Having seen some of the tanks in
action recently in camp maneuvers
we can understand Mr.. Stokowskis s
determination to avoid the use of
clarinets! On some of those dips
certainly many of the clarinets
would be swallowed forever.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Stokowski goes

Britain Has Placed

By the Associated Press.

by tIe ASSOClAleQ PTeSS.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 18.-
Director David E. Lilienthal of the
Tennessee Valley Authority reported
today congressional approval of a
so per cent increase in phosphate
production at T. V. AS Muscle
Shoals plant.
He said the expansion called for
installation of new furnace costing
81 100000 and an increase in pro-
duction from 100000 to 10000 tons
annually.
The expansion will be financed
from existing appropriations.
Mr.. Lilienthal also disclosed that
Great Britain had ordered 10000
tons of T. V. AS concentrated phos-
pilates which, he said, apparently
indicated Britain's desire to con-
serve shipping by increasing home
food production.
He added that deliveries from the
new unit probably would be made
next fall, although release of con-
served stocks might permit imme-
diate shipments to England
He said T. V. A. is now producing
100000 tons of concentrated Sphos-
pilates annually, while private in
dustry is putting out 246 900 tons.
With our production up to 10000
tons next fall" he added, I'VE hope

tubed Army.

He recalled, as he inspected one

Listen" said this cook as we
finished performing on a ton or so

let us in on a little secret?"
"Oh, sure, cook, any informa-
ton you want"
Then" he added, would you tell
me which are the spuds and which
are the peelings?"
The answer presented some diff
Guilty, since the two piles were of
almost equal size and portions of
potatoes were about al thick in one
as in the other.
The Machine Knows.
The potato-peeler, however, is a
marvel. You simply drop the spuds
in. They fall into a do-hickus,
which rattles them around and
shaves them as neatly as a safety
razor could, then shunts the peelings
out one side and the potatoes out
the other.
A K. P. could brush up on his

Briton Suggests Union

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 18-Union of the
United States and Britain after the
war to enforce peace aims of the
democracies was urged last night by
Labor Leader Josiah c. Wedgwood
in broadcast to America.
Il do not believe it is any more
difficult to get than was the union
between England and Scotland in
1707," he said. IF I pin my hopes
to union with America, it is because
union is the strongest bond, leaving
no loophole for evasion of duty, or
responsibility for sacrifice in the
future"
Peace aims embodying the elimina-
tion of the Nazi and Fascist govern
ments and measure to prevent their
return to power would depend on
the United States, Mr.. Wedgwood
asserted, adding: you pay the
piper and you call the tune"
Americans have a chance to think,

MaInufrition Stands
AfhwartU. ). Effort,
Health Speaker Warns
Monday Evening Club
Hears Dr.. R. M. Wilder
Of the Mayo Clinic

Americans must first conquer a
prevalent problem of malnutrition if
they are to insure the success of the
efforts and sacrifices urged by Pres
ident Roosevelt, according to DR..
Russell M Wilder of the staff of
the Mayo clinic.
DR.. Wilder spoke last night at a
meeting of the Monday Evening
Club at Barker Hall, his subject
being THE Next Significant Pub
lie Health Problem"
Tells of Thiamin.
The quality of food eaten by the
people in the United States, he said,
will have much to do with their
ability to produce during the emer-
gency. Vitamins, he explained, act
like spark plugs in the human ma
chine.
Discussing the value of thiamin,
DR.. Wilder outlined the process now
being practiced by the Nations
bakers, whereby bread is enriched
by the insertion of minute quantities
of the wheat berry ordinarily lost
through modern milling of flour.
Although not apparent to the lay
man, Americans started to be poorly
few when it was discovered how to
make flour by roller mills and when
sugar refineries made their debut,
he said.
People could improve their own
health to some extent, he said, by
eating more bread made of whole
wheat flour. However, he en-
phasized that enriched" bread will
help solve the nutrition problem.
In citing the evil of diet deficient
in thiamin, Dr. Wilder said the first
thing to go in man is the will to
sacrifice and get things done"
which is why man must take time
to gear himself up to run our accel-
Grated defense machinery"
