ARMY CENSORSHIP

(New Haven Journal couTieFl
 War Department censorship has banned q biographical film of the life of Woodrow Wilson and also a comedy starring q couple of minor radio cut-ups. These restrictions come on the heels of the banning Of British newspapers from army camps in France and the deletion of certain American books and magazlneg from the lists of read- ing matter to be purchased by the government for seryieemen. In spite Of all the auarreling over the army's actions. We might as well reeog- nize that this censorship trouble will continue as long as Mr, Roose- welt Is in olIlee. For behind all War department decision and behind the law which Congress passed goyerns ing political dieusslons among the troops Is the clash between Mir, Roosevelt and the Republicans, pag- tienlagly those in Congress,
 It must be admitted that the Roosevelt administration. That IS to say, the President and his ideas men have, since lea2, been alert to sell their policies to the people, MT, Roosevelt himself Is a snper-sales- man, as even his hlttefest opponents will admit, He ls so deft in the art Og publicity that people often give him credit, or blame, for stunts that be probably had no part in'
 At any rate the Republicans are ln Q frame Of mind which leads them to see Mf, R0oseYelt's fine hand in every maneuyer, and they dare not give him 2 single 0pens ing lest he use it to his political advantage, Evidences Of this at tiluda have been plain throughout most Of the present session 0t Con- gress, and they are apparent in the plans G0g the presidential eam- palgn,

OH, sUGARg

The per capita consumption oe sugar in the United States in 1886 vas about 5 pounds year. Tn i9s0 it was about li2 pounds a year.
 To the best of my knowledge we cannot claim that so much sugar. whether 1t is taken as sugar, syrup. candy. sweetened beverage, cakesy pastries. ice cream or in so-calied infant food or breakfast food, is itself the cause of any disease or serious trouble. It Is certainly not a cause of decay of the teeth in children or adults, in my opinion. I do not believe excessive consump- ton Of sugar by child or adult can be considered a cause Of diabetes"
 But I am equally certain that the excessive consumption of sugar is to blame for a great deal Of serious nutritional deficiency in childhood, adolescence and early adult life, for the individual who gets a large part of his daily quota Of calorfes from sugar simply cannot take enough Of the natural protactive foods to supply the minimum amounts or minerals and vitaming required Tor good nutrition and normal fuction-
 Now I like sugar in my tea or coffee, cookies. cake, candy. ice cream and the like as well as the next fellow. But knowing what lttle I do know about nutrition ana health I am always conscious Of the need for balancing such indulgence either by a fairly liberal intake or natural protective foods or by tak- ing the necessary minerals and vita mins as a supplement to my diet or both.
 Among the best protective foods are milk, cheese. (of course l mean real cheese, not processed stuh palmed of on the unsophisticated customer under a name that sug" gests cheeseD butter. eggs, greens, raw vegetables. fruits. nuts.
 To parents of growing children I suggest plain fresh milk or mix and cream or skim or buttermilk or sour milk or milk favored with chocolate, cocoa, malt or the ike, and fresh fruit beverages of tho home made type instead Of foun- tain beverages sweetened with sugar or perhaps bottled sweetened bev' erages containing stimulants which are in my judgment harmful for any child under sixteen.
 To young persons in stores and offices ] suggest similar wholesome beverages at lunch or when mid- forenoon. or mid-afterroon DICK me-up or refreshment is indicated.
 To oyegnourished folk generally suggest the use oi saccharin tablets to sweeten tea, coffee. etc. In place of suear-one quarter-grain saccha- rin tablet having the syeetening ei- feet of a teaspoonful or more oi sugar. I believe any one may take up to 5 grains of saccharin daily with impunity.

After Sikorski was killed, Ret tinger was not happy over the trend of Polish affairs. Finally. he went to Premier MikolaJezyk, told him he wanted to leave the Polish Government-in-E Exile and return to Poland to help the un- derground. AiikolajcZyk was sympathetic but asked how Ret tinger expected to return.
 q can return by parachute" was the reply.
 But you're too old for that" argued AIikolai icEyk. That's z hazard only for young men,"
 Rettinger countered that he was 57 and plenty young enough to take a parachute jump for the sake of his homeland.
 Finally, the Polish premier yield cd to the point of advising Rettinger to go up to Scotland and take oyer three practice jumps in order to be ready for the big jump over Poland. But Rettinger replied: "No. After the first jump l would desert and run away to London. At my age, I have one jump in me. ! can jump from plane over Poland, but that is all. No practcie jumps in Scotland.'
 So finaIly. last February, Ret tlngeT did jump ever Poland and did join the Polish underground.
 The aTnazingt hing, however, IS that, when Premier MikolaJczyk recently left on his ali-impotant mission to Moscow. Polish officials managed to set word to Rettln- ger inside Poland via the under ground; also managed to get him out of Poland and bring him to Cairo,
 In Cairo Rettinger met Pre- mier Mikolajczyk and had a very important conference, during which he gave a first-hand re. port regarding the sentiment of the Polish people toward Russia, the status of their resistance. and other information needed by the Premier for his conference with stalih.
