Enriched Flour
Seen as Likely
Wartime Diet
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN


CHICAGO, June 8 - up -
Within a few weeks the nation
is expected to be almost 100 per
cent on wartime body and
nerve building diet of enriched,
vitamin packed flour and bak-
cry foods, milling trade authori-
ties said today.
They said that what started
out in January, l94l, as a cam
paign to encourage use of the
newly developed health giving
flour had turned into a complete
victory. Many mills now were
making only enriched flour for
the so-called family trade and
soon it will be difficult for the
American consumer to buy any
thing else.
Furthermore, they said, the
nations flour consumption was
expanding because of wartime
conditions, and it probably
would be the largest in years.
No rationing of bread or use of
substitutes would be necessary,
however, for domestic wheat
supplies were by far the largest
on record-equal to two years
normal requirements, they add
ed.
Government health authorities
encouraged manufacture of en-
riched flour, explaining that a
population receiving a diet fully
adequate in vitaminS, minerals
and other nutritive essentials,
was better able to stand the
stress of war. Bread was chos-
en- as the medium through
which certain vitamins and food
minerals could be put into gen.
eral consumption because they
are natural elements of wheat
and because bread is in univers-
al use.
MillerS have several methods
of making enriched flour and
there also are several ways of
introducing the vitamins and
minerals into baked products,
through flour, yeast or with
dough mix. To meet public pre-
ference for white flour, mills for
years had been grinding out the
germ and other properties of
wheat containing these ele-
ments, although there are GER
tain types of manufacture re-
tanning most of them.
Enriched bread is defined as
containing acid of the Vitamin B !
complex, and iron. Optional in
gradients include riboflavin.
Enriched bread is defined as
containing certain percentages

The millers national fedora
ton recently launched a sign-up
campaign to secure flour manu-
facturers' pledges to make en-
riched flour for the family
trade and the drive was ex-
peCted TO end soon with vir-
tually complete cooperation.
About as per cent of the flour
is through family bak-
ing. The bulk of commercial
bakery products is enriched, ex-
pertS said.

POOR PAY STILL RIFE

Progress has been made in the last
year in raising pay levels but there is
still long way to go before wages are
adequate for American standards Fol
example, take factory work, in which
wages are far above the average OF
many industries. The American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor's latest monthly sur
vey says:
Wages today average n cents pei
hour in American factories, the high
est level ever reached. This is still be-
low the minimum of $108 necessary
to support family of five in health
and efficiency at today's prices; it is
only slightly above the bare subsist-
ence level of 711a cents for family
of four.
"That is, almost half of all Ameri-
can factory workers receive less than
the bare subsistence budget. Less than
half of our 11,705, 600 factory workers
are reported as receiving wage in
creases last year (only 4,O63,O0 in
first ten months) The raises were
limited chiefly to union members"
A. F. of L. survey indicates that
America has no reason for being COM
placent over the wage situation and
that further wage increases are very
much in order.

REFUSES TO CROSS
UNION PICKET Line

New York City (ILNS). - Rather
than cross a picket line, Mrs. Franklin
d. Roosevelt and two friends got their
money back for three tickets to "In
Time to Come" play at the Mans
field Theatre.
Outside the theatre were two pickets
from the American Federation of Mu-
sicians, placed there in protest against
the action of the management in using
recordings of the American, French
and English national anthems instead
of having them played by musicians.
Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by Jo-
seph P. Lash, general secretary of the
international Student Service, and an
unidentified woman, arrived at the
theatre at $50 p. m. When Mrs.
Roosevelt saw the picket line, placed
in front of the theatre, an explanation
was offered her by Frank Goodman,
spokesman for the play. Mrs. Roose-
welt replied: Fair or not fair, / can
not cross a picket line"

No days '1ow descending sun" now

More taxes for more war equipment.
More workers needed and great move

Meanwhile our dogs of war stalk the
seven seas, doing damage Of which
we may not learn for many week.
And our soldiers, sailors and ma
rines perform deeds that should for
ever silence the yap that as people
we have gone soft.
But still, despite all the evidence
that exists, great many Americans
do not yet understand that they, per-
sonally, must take this war seriously
as paramount affair
Not many days ago (for example) a
rather intelligent East Coast citizen
scoffed at the possibility of air raids
Said he, "the Japs have got to get
past the Pacific Coast before they can

Double Time Is Yielded
By Knoxville AFL Union

Knoxville, Tenn - Federal Labor
Union No. 21754, composed of Fulton
Sulphon Company employees, voted
unanimously to waive during the
emergency the provision of their con-
tract which would require double-time
pay for Sundays and holidays.
Instead of the double-time rate,
time and half will be paid. Jack
w. Turrentine, publicity chairman, ex-
planned that the change is to put into
effect a seven-day work week and to
cooperate with the company and gov
ernment in defense. Fulton's is a vital
defense firm.
The membership recently bought a
$1,000 defense bond, authorized the
purchase of another in February, and
others in the same denomination pc
riodically.

FIGHTING UNFIT FOOD
much in ordt

That unremitting warfare on spoiled,
filthy and other unfit food products is
needed is shown by the report of the
Food and Drug Administration for the
fiscal year 1941. The agency enforces
the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act.
The report says that more than 1000
shipments of food were seized because
of filth or decomposition. The seizures
included shipments of grapefruit juice
made from partially rotten fruit, raw
coffee filthy from dock sweepings, cof-
fee substitutes infested with insects,
flour and corn meal containing weevils,
bakery products and confectionery
made under insanitary conditions, but
ter from unfit cream, cheese infested
with insects, and decomposed eggs and

Seizures were also made of ship
ments of decomposed fish, shrimp, and
Holsters; of insect-infested fruit and
fruit products; of nuts contaminated
with filth; of diseased or decomposed

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

from fearful hostile air raids, impose
without verdict of the courts or the
possibility of defense.
at is these men who destroy the
security of the Reich when they punish
our fellow -countrymen, our brothers
and sisters, deprive them of their prop
erty, cast them out into the street and
Danish them from the country. 1t is
they who undermine the sense of right,
it is they who weaken the trust in our
government. And, therefore, | raise
my voice in the name of the honest
German nation, in the name of the
majesty of law, in the interest of
peace and the solidarity of the home
front
Therefore, as a German, as an hon
orable citizen, as representative of
the Christian religion and as a Cath
Ollie Bishop, | cry aloud: We demand
justice! If this cry remains unheard
and unheeded, if the rule of royal JUS
tice is not restored, our German ma
tion and country will, despite the hero
ism of our soldiers and their glorious
victories, perish from inner corrup-
ton.
Practical safety on the industrial
firing line is being advanced as 5000
key men from plants and shops all

struction in how to prevent work in
juries to the army of men and women

supplies for war.
A part of the program of the Ma
tional Committee for the Conserva-
tion of Manpower in Defense Indus
tries, this intensive training is being
sponsored jointly by the United States

ment of Labor.

cause made of partially decomposed
materials. Numerous consignments OF
continental seeds and Of cocoa beans
from foreign countries were denied
entry into the United States because
of water damage or filth.
Only few of the activities of the
Food and Drug Administration are
mentioned in the above. The report
indicates that the agency's work is
valuable and that the cost of its main
tenance and activities is money well
spent.

Hitler is not the only Germany
there is another Germany, the labor
division of the Committee to Defenc
America points out in quoting from q
remarkable declaration by the Catholic
Bishop Clemens August in st. Lam
bert's Church, Munster, Westphalia
last July.
Bishop August's address is telling
indictment of Hitlerism, especially OF
the practice of the Gestapo in arrest
ing German citizens and imprisoning
them or otherwise Furnishing them
without trial or public hearing. INC
one of us is certain that he will not
one day be fetched out of his home
deprived of his liberty and shut up IN
the dungeons and concentration camps
of the Gestapo," he said.
Declaring that justice is the founda-
tion of the commonwealth, Bishop Au-
gust said that this foundation was
being shaken in Germany and de-
manded that the rights of human per-
sonality be respected Any other
course, he emphasized, weakens ano
gradually destroys the morale of the
people.
Lack Of space prevents long quota
ton from Bishop August's address
but what he said in closing gives the
spirit Of his talk and is well worth
quoting.
"My brethren" the Bishop said
people will perhaps reproach me witt
weakening the home front of the Ger,
man people through using such FRANK
language during the war. To that re
proach / make the following reply
It is not | who am the cause of any
weakening of the home front, bu1

This war is the war of every
man, woman and child There is
no escape, no matter how much
some folks try to wish themselves
out of danger or out of RESPONSE
bility.
For the good of the nation the awak-
ening of full and true sense of re-
sponsibility is the more important We
must FEEL that everything we have
or can do is called for. 1t is peoples
war, to the limit.
There is a mass of bungling, to be
sure. Much of that is thus far being
overlooked, partly because too many
people aren't yet taking the war Sc
riously.
Later they will howl to heaven,
wondering why such blunders were
permitted.
The time to howl is NOW. But also
now is the time TO do something about
it.
Civilian defense is being played
with, like a fascinating toy, by too
many.
From the top in New York on down
to hundreds of communities, there are
vast and amazing blunders.
A vast reservoir of energy has been
tapped and thousands of men and
women are doing volunteer work to
the limit of their time and ability.
But from the administrative end there
is too much tangling of operations, too
little system, too many loose ends.
In one East Coast city a recent
blackout went through with more than
100 block wardens never getting their
call to duty, These calls to duty go
by phone, tanning out from focal
points. If focal point fails, that
whole fan is out of action
In some places political favorites
have been given the focal jobs. In
others ambition for publicity has led
some to plunge in and grab the key
places.
So, where high grade executive and
organizing ability is needed, second
and third grade is on the job.
These things will iron out in time,
but time may be the most priceless
thing we have.
This is a peoples war and the re
sources of the nation are being mo-
bilized. One great segment of that
mobilization is the civilian defense
operation.
1t is too vital to be slugged to half
sensibility by either politics or in
competence.
Back of it all is a citizenship re-
sponsibility that puts it up to YOU,
and YOU and YOU!
Organized labor, with its genius for
organizing, could do something big
about this great and vital problem
Why not? - G. M. w.
