Give Kaiser Go Sign

A DEMONSTRATORS Of the program in Washing
a ton are reported to have been profoundly impressed
by the eaness vgor and capacity of the great Cali
fornia shipbuider. Mr. Henry J, Kaiser.
The American people whole have certainly been
impressed by Mr. Kaiser.
He has built great numbers Of ships vitality needed to
win the
He has built them with an amazing economy of time.
Naturally a with such capabilities and accom-
he HAS the respect OF the American people and OF the
influential and responsible administrators OF the war
program. 49,.
tude toward Mr. Kaiser something very important.
He has offered to build huge cargo airplanes for the
American government and to build them in the same
numbers and with the speed he has been building
The government needs big cargo-carrying airplanes
very badly
1t has been losing an appalling number of surface
vessels in the war-has been losing them, in fact
faster than all American shpbuilders including Mr.
Kaiser can build them.
Not only are ships being lost but valuable cargoes
and rreplaceable being lost with them.
So Mr. kasers proposal TO build airplanes capable of
taking the place of surface craft like good idea,
and II IS good idea
u UT somehow the government and the influential and
u responsible administrators of the program,
quite to get around to unconditional approval
of the idea.
They grant that would be wonderful thing to have
the big planes in the numbers and time required
And they agree Mr. Kaiser could build them
But they hedge his authority to build them with all
of ifs and conditions many of which appear to
be insurnountable and apparently made with the
expectation and intention that they are nsurmounabe.
The American government and the administrators
should off all nhibtons and grudging reluctance
about Mr.. Kaiser.
The American people would like very much to see him
have a free hand in this matter of big planes.
They aware of the problems involved and of the
pressures and supplies Of vital materials and
OF the technical and administrative difficulties
But they aware too, of the terrible urgency of
the and of the demonstrated nadquacy of surface
transport
Mr.. Kaiser should be given chance to build big
planes.
He should not be hedged all about with impossible
conditions
He should be given every encouragement and assist
ance and not be shunted about from pillar to post by
over-cautious and reluctant administrators afraid
unable to make up their minds
This war will not be by at can't be dones"
Our winning of it must not be held up by ''ifs."

Safer Watkins

The American Automobile Association has awarded
Detroit bronze plaque as one of the safest cities in
the United States for pedestrians
With traffic death rates mounting yearly this is high
tribute
The AAA pointed to the citys intelligent safer
walking campaign of 1871 as one of the two reasons
for giving Detroit the award contest in which 573
cities competed.
Now that pedestrian ordinance is being enforced
Detroit should have difficulty in repeating for 1912
The city heads have done all they to protect persons
in the street
1t is up to the pedestrians. They can make it walk
away for the national prize by observing the and stop
a needless toll Of lives.
Remember out Of three killed in traffic accidents
Is pedestrian Don't let it be you

Postal Service Workers
Held at 1925 Wage Level
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

A MONG civil servants, whom
4 n would you name as those
you like best? Who comes closer
to you? Whom do you 60 out
of your way at Christmas to
give a present to?
The letter carrier, of course
and by letter carrier l mean
also his fellow-workerS in all
departments of the postal Serv-
ice. 1 think they ought to be
the best treated of all our civil
servants.
Well. let us see how your
Uncle S a m is treating these
men, who must be accurate, in
telligent, courteous, who brave
all kinds of weather and who
shoulder great responsibilities
(for you don't want your mail
to go wrong, do you?).
The general level of wholesale
prices and living cost has gone
up 30 and Ia per cent, respec-
lively, in recent years. But post
office employees are getting the
same money they got in 1926
II years ago!
Other wage earnerS have had
wage boosts to as high as Al per
cent. But both postal employees
and workers in manufacturing
plants and business houses have
exactly the same bills to face
and TO foot.
THE work of the men in the
Il post office has been quad
rupled what with bond and
stamp selling, alien registration
and other things that have been
saddled upon them.
The pay of letter carriers and
other postal workers is ridicu-
lous in comparison to the inn
portant work they do.
Remember, too, they have no
union. They are forbidden to
strike So these most competent
of our workers are compelled
to go humbly before Con-
gress hat in hand and ask for a
living wage to meet the con-
tinued rising cost Of living.
Not a pretty picture for the
people of the land of the four
freedoms, is it?
Protest TO your senators and
representatives: A square deal
for our postal workers.
GIN ORDER to conquer, gen.
Il tlemen, one thing is alone
audacity, still more
audacity, always audacity" -
Danton in a speech TO the leg
islative committee of general
defense at Paris on September
2, 1892.
That is the inscription that
William b. Ziff has put at the
head of his The Coming Bat
tie of Germany" (Duell, Sloan
and -Pearcel--
Mr.. Ziff is a widely known
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-08-14

civilian aeronautics expert, an
editor and an associate of the
late Billy" Mitchell.
He has written one of the
most thought-compelling, vigor-
Gus worded and farsighted books
on this war so far. There is
nothing academic here.
He tells il" to us, tries to
rouse us to a sense of the dan
gers-the internal horrors!-we
face.
He is introduced by Maj. Alex
ander p. de Seversky, Brig. Gen.
William f. Gilmore and Eddie
Rickenbacker. But Mr.. lifts
book will stand on its own.
LIE DEMANDS immediate of
IL fensive aggression on the
part of England and the United
States. He wants the battle of
Germany to begin before Ger
many begins the battle of Amer
lea. There must be single
leadership and coordination.
Mr.. Ziff says outright:
"This war can not be won by
conferences and committees any
more than IL can be won by the
countless little AEFs we are
now sending all over the world.
ut can only be won by some
great military leader who Is
willing to act tough and who
has absolute power and author
ity Of direction. None Of the
present corelating agencies Is
an adequate substitute for such
a singleness OF leadership"
Again:
"Sitting back on our hind sides
waiting for an accumulation Of
strength can only end In the
deterioration OF our war effort
and our eventual defeat"
MOT only should whirlwind
~ force be used on Germany
and Japan but we must rot
their strength from the inside"
He compares the onslaught OF
Hitler on the civilization Of the
Western World TO the attempt
of Mohammed to conquer Eu-
rope. This invasion ended at the
battle of Tours in 1872. We
must have another Tours and
another Charles Martel. Where
is he?
We Americans have underes-
timated everything and. as
usual, overestimated ourselves.
When will we realize that the
beast of the Apocalypse is at
both our doors = the Atlantic
and the Pacific?
Mr.. Tiff leaves us no illusions,
I'm happy to record.
His book will put some light
ming in our souls.
What we need in Washington
are fewer college rhetoricians
and more -teaghies-aidaeity,
more audacity, always audacity!

Bread Flour
Fortified by
New Method
BY G. 3. LAL

International News Service Science Editor
ESPECIALLY important in the
present emergency, a new
system has been discovered 10
fortify bread with addition of
certain essential minerals 10 the
white or brown -four.
Two noted scientists of Cam
bridge University in England,
Doctors r. A. McCance and Z.
NJ. Widdowson, have developed
the new system upon the basis
of the following discovery they
have made:
The nutritional value Of a
cereal product greatly depends
upon the ease with which the
human body can use certain
m mineral contained in these
cereal preparations.
Particularly important are cal
cium, phosphorus and magne-
SUM, as far as wheat, rye maize,
corn, barley. oats and rice-the
seven principal cereals-are con-
cerned.
THE scientists discovered that
Il cereal product. such as
brown bread. consisting very
largely of whole wheat. may
contain a high amount Of an
essential mineral like calcium,
and yet the human body may
not make use of il.
1t was found, in fact, that
whole wheat flour contained a
peculiar substance called phytic
acid which interfered with the
digestion of calcium and other
minerals present in the food
material.
Thus tests had to be made to
find out what actually happens
in normal human bodies when
white. brown or whole wheat
breads were eaten by healthy,
normal men and women.
The Cambridge scientists
studied the digestive processes
of five men and five women for
a long time.
THE results Of a nine months
Il daily checkup showed that
white bread calcium was far
more easily absorbed by the
body than the brown, whole
wheat bread calcium. In other
words, brown bread calcium was
prevented from being used by
the body because of the pres
ence Of phytic acid.
The scientists affirm:
"Unfortified brown bread.
consisting of IS to 90 per cent
Of whole wheat meal, decreases
the absorption of calcium by
the human body. The more
one eats Of Il. the worse be-
comes ones calcium balance"
Addition of Vitamin d made
no difference.
EORTTFYING was done by
Il addition Of calcium and
phosphorus salts. calcium car
Donate and certain phosphates.
To the British authorities,
Doctors McCance and Widow
son have offered this recon-
mendation:
"Flours for national use dur
Ing this emergency should have
calcium carbonate added TO
them I'm these proportions:
ITO white -four add SIS MILL
grams of calcium carbonate for
each 100 grams; 10 IS per cent
wheat meal add 100 milllgrams;
TO 90 per cent wheat meal add
200 milligrams Of calcium salt
per 100 grams"
Further researches are being
made for other minerals.
