Candy is a legitimate food and
has a reasonable place in the diet
Of everyone. Along with fats, car
bohydrates provide heat and ener-
gy, especially for special exertion.
Candy Is ordinarily composed Of
both fats and carbohydrates. Meth
er Is as necessary as protein, miner
ais, vitamins and roughage, since
these are the components of struc-
tural development. Therefore, can
dy must not be allowed to take up
the room needed by essential nu-
triment-but 1t may complement It,
and add to 1t, as in a dessert at the
end Of a meal. Candy destroys the
desire for other kinds of food, and
increases the craving only for more
of the same.

MorSs Lovett 10 be executive
assistant TO the governor Of the
Virgin Islands.
Ickes thus is preparing 10 CIR
Cumvent statutory action under
which Lovett would have been
dropped as secretary of the
Virgin Islands on Nov. 10. unless
by that date he was appointed
to the position by the President
and confirmed by the Senate.
This flouting of a provision of
law enacted last summer was re-
ported 10 the House today by Rep.
Frank B. Keefe (R) of Wisconsin.
This committee originated the

denied further payment OF
salaries after a certain specified

Spanked by a small group OF
serious thinking tcon-agers. plans
were IN motion for an organlza-
tonal setup which would give all
Youngsters school and out-a
voice i'm the measures that are
being considered 10 curb juvenile
delinquency.
The group, representing five
high schools. two colleges and the
Metropolitan Youth Council met
Yesterday under the auspices OF
the board of education and ham
mered away al the delinquency
problem with all the fire and vigor
of which youth IS capable.
When. for example. II was an

Healy Jr. who preSides over
juvenile court and is one of the
city's leading authorities on juve-
nile problems, one boy objected:
Us Judge Healy taking this
thing over or are we? 1 don't
know too much about Judge
Healy's past"
However, smuggling their way
recklessly through the mazes OF
parliamentary procedure, the
youngsters did something that
many older and, presumably, wiser
groups had failed 10 do-came up
with something definite.

mittee today branded grade label
inc and standardization as a
scheme by social eXperimenters
within the Office of Price Ad-
miniStration 10 wreck independent
businessmen. destroy brand names,
cripple advertising and redistri-
butte wealth.
In a 44-page report, climaXine
more than six months of intensive
study, the committee warned that
many of those social experiment.
ers still hold office in OPA; and
that the menace of mandatory
federal grading has not been ell
minated.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-10-28
THREAT TO BUSINESS

II called for specific congress
sional action 10 put an end 10 the
threat. and declared that the
whole problem of mandatory fed
eral grading. grade labelling and
Standardization would:
Prejudice the prosecution OF
the war effort on the home
front.
Curtail production Of food
and other civilian goods.
. Force thousands of SIN | /
businessmen out of business.
. Result in inevitable quality
deterioration.
. Interfere with the consum-
er's freedom of choice.
. Kill brand name preference.
. Indirectly confiscate valuable
property rights.
. Regiment industry 10 a de-
gree that all incentive to uphold
or improve quality would be de-
stroyed.
. Raise costs 10 low income
families. and lower them for
high income groups.
. Force reductions in wages for
union labor.
The committee denounced what
il declared was OPA's assumption
that "all manufacturers are dis
honest"
The committee declared that
all of its study led TO the in
evitable conclusion that indie,
pendent businessmen, advertising
and brand names are a far better
protection for the consumer as far
as quality and value are con.
cerned than any system of man
datory federal grading, grade
labelling and standardization.
Rep. Charles A. Halleck of In
diana author of the investigation,
declared that the report was a
complete vindication of his ag-
gressive stand against the entire
OPA grading program.
The report warned that CON
slant vigilance remains necessary
if American business is TO be pro-
tected from this threat.
