Doesn't Affect Bread Taste.
The amount it is proposed to put
in bread is so slight that it cannot
possibly effect the taste or the
color and this might be the only
source available for hundreds Of
people It's lack is felt chiefly in
rural districts during the late spring
following a winter in which the food
supply has been monotonous and
defective.
The primary function of NICOTINE
acid in the body appears to be in
the formation of a substance neces-
sary for making use of oxygen car
ried by the blood to burn the sugars
and starches, a necessary process to
maintain the heat of the body.
Outside the South, it was pointed
out in a recent report of the Agri-
culture Department, some of the
worst cases of pellagra have been
found in wealthy families which had
developed peculiar food habits. Re-

Dernu Abandonment
Admitted by Italy

ROME, Jan. 81 GP.-The italian
high command announced today
that Fascist forces had abandoned
Derna and withdrawn to the west
and south to avoid being sur
rounded.
The daily war bulletin also re-
ported that German planes, which
have been reported cooperating
with the Italians in the Mediter-
ranean, had bombed the Suez Canal
yesterday.
CA dispatch from Cairo yes
terday reported an air attack
on the Suez Canal area, but said
no damage or casualties had re-
sulted)
The forces which withdrew from
Derna, the high command said,
made stand in new positions and
"smothered' an attack by Aus
tralian motorized units.
Fascist air squadrons bombed
British mechanical forces in the
Derna region and shot down two
planes, it was said.
On the northern front in East
Africa presumably in Eritrea or
Northern Ethiopia), the Italians
said they had repulsed British at
tacks and inflicted considerable
losses"
Our bomber and fighter de-
tachments eXerted themselves" the
communique declared, bombing

A British plane was said to have
been forced to land on an italian
air field in East Africa, where the
crew was captured.

mo. 3 OF a SerieS.)
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The long shadow of Jean Nicot,
Sieur de Villemain, lies heavy on the
American dinner table of a few
months hence.
1t was this dapper French courtier
of the 18th century who bought
some seeds from a Dutchman in
Lisbon" and thus introduced into
Europe the deadly drug "nicot line, -
the chief poisonous element in to-
bacco
Nearly $50 years later a German
chemist isolated from this drug of
death an acid for which there was
no known use, and for 10 years it
remained as chemical curiosity on
laboratory shelves.
Five years ago this acid suddenly
emerged from the dusty shelves as
a veritable eliXer of life for hum
dreds of thousands and it may be
the chief thing needed to put energy
and determination into millions of
American people in the present
crisis.
Now Made From Coal Tar.
1--WE are buying it by the barrel
this year" the superintendent of
one of the largest mental hospitals
in the United States remarked the
other day.
The drug is nicotine acid. No
longer is it extracted from tobacco
by a tedious chemical process. 1t
can be made out of coal tar and is
about the cheapest of all the in
gradients which is proposed to add
to flour so that the American people
will get at least a fourth of their
requirements from the bread they
eat. 1t costs, at wholesale, about
$40 a pound. The fortified flour
specification now being drawn up by
the Food and Drug Administration
probably will call for between 2
and 3 milligrams per pound and
there are close to 100000 milligrams
in a pound.
The first discovery was that
NICOTINE acid was the substance
in food, lack of which was respon-
sible for the terrible disease of body
and mind, pellagra, which devas-
tated large areas of the rural South,
where the diet was largely corn
bread and fat pork. Within the last
two years, it has become of far
greater significance with the dis
covery that there is a subclinical
pellagra probably rampant every
where in the United States. The
majority of the American people
outside the South have been get
ting enough NICOTINE acid in their
ordinary diets to keep them from
overt pellagra, but not enough to
keep them from feeling low,
lacking ambition and tiring easily
Almost Miraculous Cures.
In treatment of pellagra the re-
suits of the drug are said to be close
to miraculous. If case is not cured
with it, physicians assume that the
pellagra must be complicated with
some other disease In mental cases
when everything else fails, it has
become the practice to dose the
patients with nicotine acid, on the
theory that it will do no hurt ano
often does do some good.
In nature plenty of NICOTINE aciC

have a new 'Hoare-Lavap deal anc

In prepared speeches for Americas

by the National Broadcasting Co.
both debaterS referred to recent
utterances of Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh, Mr.. La Toilette mentioning
him in a laudatory passage, ano
Secretary ICkeS referring to him
only as lone of the appeaserS-the
Nazi-decorated flying hero -
The lease-lend bill, now before
Congress-" Mr.. Ickes declared, lis
probably our last effective chance
to stop the spread of Nazi malig-
nancy before it strikes at our life
lines and forces US to choose between
fighting on our feet or living on our
knees"
Cites Roosevelt Assurances.
Mr.. Ickes ridiculed the thought
that President Roosevelt, through
the bill, might be seeking dictatorial
powers or that it was his intention
to have the Nation go to war.
Il prefer to believe President
Roosevelt when he assures us that
he has no intention of putting Amer
lea into this war or of sending armed
forces to Europe" he said.
Asserting that I'VE have no
alternative" but to give all possible
aid to Britain, the Secretary said
that 'our immediate danger may not
be one of physical invasion. One
of the appeasers-the Nazi- i-decorat-
ed flying hero whose words evoked
loud acclaims from official NaZiS
last week-attacked the lease-lend
bill, on the ground, among other
things. that we are in no danger of
invasion except after internal COL
lapse.
The real point is hidden in the
last two words-'internal collapse
That is precisely the Nazi plan and
the Nazi technique"
Points to Grant of Power.
Mr.. La Toilette declared that "in
the crowded 16 months" since the
debate over repeal of the arms en-
barge I'VE have moved from 'neu-
trality' to aid to Britain short of
war then to aid Britain regardless
of the consequence We are now
poised for the final leap into the
consequences"
The British aid bill, he asserted,
was mot just another of those steps
short of war. 1t is the most far
reaching grant of power ever
seriously proposed for any one man
in the history of the United States"
Referring to Col. Lindbergh, he

understanding of aviation and its
impact on our defenses than Col

1t was uncertain here how many
men Marshal Graziani has at his
disposal to defend Bengasi. Reports
from the front indicated that the
Derna garrison consisted of about
10000 men, and 1t was presumed
that many of these had retreated
westward before the British entered
the town.
There was no indication that the
British had cut the coastal road
beyond Derna before the final as
sault and the communique announc-
Ing it's capture made no mention OF
prisoners.

Sidelights On Income Returns

Failure to file returns, false or
fraudulent returns, or wilful
evasion of taxes may result in
fines or penalties up to $4,000,
or one to five years imprison-
ment, or both. In addition, the
Treasury is given authority to
assess ad valorem penalties bas-
ed on a percentage Of the tax.
The great majority of income
tax returns are filed by salaried
persons and wage earners. The
deadline for filing returns is
March Is, 1912. Income tax
forms may be obtained from
your local bank or post office or
from the Internal Revenue Col
lector for the district where you
reside or have your principal
place of business. Before filling
out these forms read the sheet
of instructions accompanying
them and the text under each
item carefully. In computing
your tax you are entitled to cer-
tain credits against income, in
cluding personal exemptions,
credits for dependents ($40O for
each child), all tax payments ex-
cept Social Security (unless an
employer) and Federal income
taxes, contributions paid, and SO
on. But in addition to the nor
NAL income tax, the 1941 law
provides that you pay surtax.
Where do you file your return :?
With the Internal Revenue Col
lector for the district in which
you reside. Generally speaking,
your income tax is due on March
Is, the date of filing. But at
your option, your tax can be
paid in four equal installments.
The first installment is due the
day your return should be filed.
And if you elect to pay on the
installment plan, each install
ment must be equal in amount.
Moreover, if an installment is
not paid when due, the entire un-
paid tax becomes due.

The Press And
Propaganda

One of the ever present dang
ers in the publishing field is the
possibility of becoming propa-
ganda agency for some group or
cause. Editors guard carefully
against this possibility, and their
efforts to be fair sometimes in
cur the displeasure of those
whose propaganda they refuse to
propagate. Of course there are
two kinds of propaganda-good
and bad. The word propaganda
has been much abused in the
past few years and to the man
on the street propaganda now
seems to mean exclusively that
type of news sent out by the
enemy to confuse and confound
those who read it.
Propaganda is actually the
method adopted for the propaga-
tion of doctrine and principles,
either religious or secular. If
there is such a thing as good
propaganda the question natur-
ally arises, why does the news
paper not become a propaganda
agency for all propaganda that
is good? AS a matter of fact the
newspaper does become such an
agency in a broad sense, but not
in just the way that some propa-
gandists would have it. For in
stance, any religious sect might
consider its propaganda good,
and therefore entitled to space
in the newspaper. An important
factor is overlooked however in
this reasoning. Propaganda es-
poused and supported by news
paper must be of a type gener
ally beneficial to the communi-
ty as a whole. 1t would not be
fair or ethical to use the propa-
ganda of one church, where
there are perhaps half a dozen
churches in the some commune
ty.
Then too, there is often con-
fusion in the minds of many
people as to what is news and
what is propaganda. For in

Labor Conference
On Priority Question

A statewide meeting of rep
resentatives from Federation of
Labor groups will be held in
Columbus in the Neil House Sum
day, Dec. 21, starting at 1880 p.
m. The conference is called for
the purpose of considering pri-
critics as being applied in con-
nection with the war program,
and the effect of priority policy
upon employment in non-defense
industries.
Among the delegates from
Newark are K. E. Baker, Ray l..
Burdine, Leon Randaxhe, John
Gilger, and Ray Van Voorhis.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1941-12-18

stance, an item relating to an
actual event which took place in
a church, or a lodge, or a serv-
ice club would be news. On the
other hand an item which sought
to impress the reader with the
principles or the doctrine of the
organization would be propa-
ganda. In short propaganda is
that type of newsmatter which
seeks to proselytize or convert
the reader to one particular code
of ethics, principles or doctrine.
The position of the newspaper
is clear on this point. The news
paper is representative of the
whole community, and while it's
editor or publisher might be an
Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian,
United Brethren, or Roman Cath
olic, it would not be fair to give
undue prominence to the doc
trines of the sect to which he
personally belongs. News is
another matter. If more news
comes from the United Church
because it has more organiZa-
tions, or because it's press secre-
taries are more wide awake, then
naturally that church would re-
ceive more space in the paper
than the Anglican or Baptist if
those churches were not so we'll
organized or did not possess
good press secretaries.
Weekly newspapers depend to
a very large extent upon cor
respondents and press secretar-
les for news items, and this be-
ing the case it is timely to re-
mind correspondents and secre-
taries that the newspaper is in
terested primarily in the news,
and not in acting as an agency
for the dissemination of their
principles. This reasoning how
ever does not preclude the news
paper drawing attention to any
special effort made by an or
ganization or institution within
the community.
To sum up the attitude of the
press toward propaganda it
should be clearly understood that
the press is interested in the
events concerning organizations,
rather than the ethics or princi-
Piles which attract one to mem
bership in these groups.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1941-12-18

Probably the best thing for
most taxpayers to do would be
to quit worrying about those new
taxes sure to come next year
at least until a more definite
program has been worked out IN
Washington. Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau has indi-
Gated that the Administrations
tax program is still open to to
considerable revision. There is
one thing certain and that is,
everyone is going to be called
upon to make sacrifices, and
there should be no faltering or
grumbling. The Treasury has
announced that the pending tax
boosts won't hit 1941 incomes.
