risen in l941 to 1882. ~,r
There were about $4,000 new cases

Seizure here Thursday Of a large
quantity Of heroin and arrest of a
29-year-old colored man police said, =
was transporting it, announced lass-
night by Federal officials, was rer,x
ported today to have broken a dopeiIc
ring preying on crowded wartimes1
Washington. sfr
The heroin, estimated to be worth
at least $4,000 in its unadulterated9
form, was seized when Detective (,
Sergts. H. H. Carper and Robert s,
Bryant OF the Metropolitan Police
narcotics squad, working with theay
Federal Bureau of Narcotics, met theo
man allegedly bringing it here whener
he arrived by train at Union Station, =
Denies Rumors of Jap Plot. +
THE case broke the back of as
narcotics ring attempting to take :,
advantage of crowded conditions in
Washington and the influx of wacrcs
workers." H. j. Anslinger, commits o.
sioner of the Federal Bureau of Mari
cotics, said today.
AT the same time Mr.. Anslinger r
denied rumors that the heroin wash'
part Of an assignment sent to this :
country by the Japanese as part of a v
plot TO weaken civilian morale. He
said he did not believe any such
plan was involved, but was certain
that the dope shipment intercepted II
was just part of the operation of a
New York narcotics ring. hs@
The man arrested was identified
as Horace Edgar Potts by police,
who said he also was known to them :
as Hicks" Arraigned yesterday
before United States Commissioner m
Needham c. Turnage and charged 81

Police said Potts, who kept a room
at a boarding house in the 100 block
Of Sixth street NV, according to
Sergts. Carper and Bryant, operated
as salesman of expensive haber-
dashery and had the heroin con-
cealed in hat bands. More than so n
hats were found in his room, it was
reported &c.
The dope was wrapped in cello c
phane packets of ounce each, the 6
detectives said, and they estimated "a,
/ that 1t totaled almost 10000 grains, Z
The seizure was the largest made
here in five years, according to Fed
eral officials, who said the shipment :
included enough heroin to supply
District addicts for six months. Ex-
perts said it would have been adul-Ar
terated with sugar and milk, then
sold to distributors, who would fur
ther adulterate it to increase the
total weight to $4,000 grains. 1t then
would have been packaged. according
/ to the experts, in portions varying
from one-sixteenth to one-ouarter of

pick up from five to seven House
seats in Pennsylvania.
Here, as in other States, the poll
ticians are worried over the impon-
derables They do not know what
effect on the voting the dissatisfac-
ton with affairs in Washington and
with various regulations upon
themselves will have on the voters.
They do not know how strong will
be the appeal to uphold the Presi-
dents hands" as commander in chief
of the armed forces. They realize
that many thousads Of young voters
have gone into the services and that
the great bulk of them will not be
able to vote.
With a so-called apathy-toward
things political-widely heralded.
they do not know whether many OF
the workers will take the trouble to
go to the polls. That is where the
labor unions may be able to help the
Democrats.
The Philadelphia area, always a
great industrial section of the coun-
try, with its many war industries to-
day, is the most concentrated OF all
the various parts of the arsenal OF
democracy"
Many thousands OF workers have
been added to the rolls, in the Ship
building plants and factories Of all
kinds. They too, present conun-
drum. They must have lived in the
State year to be voters. If they
have moved from one locality in
Pennsylvania to this, then they
must have reregistered within the
proper time in order to vote.
COP in Majority.
The Republican registration in
Philadelphia is 100000 Republicans,
4l5,000 Democrats and $4,000 non
partisan voters. The fact that the
Republicans have such long lead in
the registration does not mean by
any means that the COP will roll up
big lead in this city.
The voters register Republican,
they elect Republican city officials,
they have Mayor today who is a
Republican. So they like to register
Republican to be in on the selection
Of Republican candidates in the
party primaries.
The registration throughout the
State is 2.644,339 Republican, 2,022,-
076 Democrats margin of 622 900
for the COP. But here, too, this
party registration is deceptive.
In 1910, when President Roosevelt
carried the State by 281 900, the Re-
publican registration stood 2,784, 600
to 2,161 900 for the Democrats. Here
again was Republican margin OF
623, 900 in registration in the State.
There was also a big Republican
registration in 1886, when the Presi-
dent won by 900 votes in the
election.
Generally speaking, the present
Republican Gov. James has given q
good administration. The finances
Of the State have been well handled
and there have been no scandals.

the first to spot the rubber RATS
which might be bearing Capt. Rick
enbacker and his comrades to safety.
Mindful OF the courage, skill and
luck of the 52-year-old veteran who
as Americas frs great ace bagged
81 German planes and enemy bal
looms, Dewey Rickenbacker, brother
OF the flyer, said at Beverly Hills,
Calf, This just isn't Eddie's time.
After all, this isn't the first time he's
been in tight spot"
In New York Capt. Rickenbacker's
wife waited by the telephone, hoping
that the next call would bring good
news.
Eddie will turn up" she assured
friends. Hes too old a hand to
get lost In any airplane now
Mother Had Misgivings.
But Mrs. Elizabeth Rickenbacker.
79, the mother, had her misgivines
when the captain visited her at
Beverly Hills recently, en- route to
the Pacific assignment.
MY mother felt that something
was going to happen to Eddie and
asked him not to CO." Dewey Ricken-
backer said. But he just laughed
and reassured her that everything
would be all right"
This optimism and rortitude car
ried Capt. Rickenbacker through a
tough experience nearly two years
ago when he was injured seriously
in the crash of an airliner near
Atlanta. He spent weeks in a hos
pital while broken bones were heal
ing. Eight among the passengers
and crew Of that plane were killed
in the crash. Representative Byron,
Democrat, of Maryland was among
those killed.
Capt. Rickenbackers trip over the
Pacific was for purpose similar to
his recent inspection fight to Eng
land. The War Department said he
was acting as confidential adviser to
the Secretary of War on aircraft.
The flyer, on his return from Eng
land, praised the performances of
United States Army planes, partic-
ularly emphasizing the work done by
the Flying FOrtreSseS.
Flying Fortresses Aid Search
Among the ships flying today in
search for him were. Flying For
tresses, aided by Navy seaplanes. -.
Announcement that the Ricken-
backer plane was overdue was made
by the War Department late yester-
day. A statement said:
Capt. E. v. Rickenbacker, con-
hdential adviser to the Secretary OF
War on aircraft, and nationally
known aviation expert is overdue on
a fight between Oahu and another
island in the Pacific Capt. Ricken-
backer is on an inspection trip, act

Capt. Rickenbacker's plane was

Anent the practice of adding vi- tamin D to olemargarine in Eng land (writes the technical director of food corporation) we are pleas ed that you made 1t clear that in England when they speak of vitas minizing margarine they refer to the addition of vitamin D. Tn Am- erica vitamin A is added to mar garine and, as the vitamin A is derived from fish liver oils, of course some vitamin D is included with it, but the American Medical Associa- tion Council on Foods forbids us from specifying how much vitamin D we add (we have always main- tained a ratio of one unit of D for each 50 units of A in our prod uct). We agree also that vitamin D is more likely to be lacking in the everyday diet in this country than Is vitamin A. According to various biological assays the ratio of vita min D to vitamin A in fresh cows butter is generally from l to 100 to l to 40.
 In the second place (continues the food corporations technical di- rector) vitamin D in a food has frightened many people away from it since the bugaboo about over- calcidcation was raised some years ago.
 ] Finally, observes the technical director, strangely enough, we doubt that it would be well to add sig nificant amount of vitamn D to margarine even though vitamin D is probably inadequate in American diets. The proposal to do so brings up a whole series of questions in- herent in using any food as a car rier for vitamins in quantities not natural to it. (End of the technical directors communication
 It is odd that the t. d. or his em- ployer considers 1t all right to add vitamin A to food that naturally contains none or practically none yet under the throtting hold of the A. M. A., doubts the wisdom oi adding vitamin D to food that na- turally contains little or none, al- though he acknowledges that lack of vitamin D is probably more com man than lack of vitamin A.
 The government in England pro- posed to add enough vitamin D tc margarine to provide little more 1 in each ounce of margarine than g child gets in the yolk of an egg.
 The technical director uses the right term for the attempt to fright en people away from vitamin D. it is a bugaboo. It is just one oi those little yarns. The actual ex- perience of good physicians ir thousands of cases has shown thai even massive doses of vitamin D cause no such "overcalcification. ' and there is no evidence whatever 1 that ordinarily or adequate amounts of vitamin D ever do any one an! harm.

 Throwback Legend
 Director and assistant director of welfare department jumped down my throat when I said 6 white couple one of whom has trace of negro blood never have black baby. They say you told of several cases where negro or negroid chil- dren have been born to parents who were apparently white. (N. E. B.
 Answer-If one or both parents have a trace of negro blood, any child born to them will be less negroid in characteristics than the parent having the negro blood. If an individual appears and purports to be white, it is inmaterial whether there is any negro blood in his or her veins. His or her children will not have more negroid characteris- tics than the average of their par ents. Don't take fiction about this seriously.

Glorting Yourself

 A new hairdo, a new Npstick and a new hat are just about the quick est cures for that put-upon feeling that's likely to get good hold on an overworked woman who mistakenly decides to give up everything per- sonally satisfying for the duration.
 If the fact that the Man of the Moment has gone to war leaves you with an oh-what's- -the-use feeling as it often does-the sooner you get the hat and lipstick, the better. Knowing positively that you look your best is a fine little antidote for loneliness. It's downright hard work to hold to "martyrdom" for very long, when the hat above your eyes is bewitching and you know it.
 SIMPLE MEANS
 MAY LIFT SPIRITS
 If you know good and well you are likely to have spells of depres- sion in the chill, stay-at-home weeks that are coming, work out system to ward of the spells. The solution may prove to be nothing more complicated than fixing your self supper tray, taking it to bed, turning of the light at nine o'clock and sleeping for ten or eleven hours oen night. Or going to a swimming pool instead of to a movie just once.
 Work, especially work outside of home, is another wonderful anti dote for a jounced ego. It will keep you going, in terms of self esteem, for a long time. But don't let any one persuade you it's a substitute for the satisfactions of rewarding human relationships - with your family and your friends. These de- serve some time and energy, too including time and energy for keep ing your appearance up to your normal standards. That's not less, but more true, now.
