VTTAMIN FAD DENOUNCED

pr. Herman l.. KretShmer, of Chicago, who does not believe that the people of this country are in such state of malnu- triton as to require the use of S250,- 100000 worth of ssVitamins' is worthy of commendation.
 The doctor recently took office as pres ident of the American Medical Associa tion and lost no time in condemning the widespread indiscriminate use of vita mins. He declares ''the excessive claims made for vitanins are beyond any basic medical evidence"
 Dr. Kretshmer says that the people of the United States have never enjoyed better health conditions He cites the following facts:
 (l) The death rate is the lowest in our history, except for slight rise last year.
 9 There have been no major epi- demics such as the influenza epidemics in the last war.
 (3) Tuberculosis, which often rises during war, has reached an all-time low.
 (4) Pneumonia is no longer the dan ger it was before the advent of the sulfa drugs.
 (5) Cerebro-spinal meningitis, which formerly had a death rate of 60 to 70 per cent, now has a mortality of about five per cent.
 (6) More than three million babies were born last year in this country with the lowest maternal and infant death rate in our entire history
 () The troops of the nation enjoy good health, with bullets killing more fighting men than disease, which is the reverse of previous war time experi- ences.-( Fairbanks News-Miner).

These two great air pioneering companies expect to be established on the route outlined by Vice President Wallace says we as a nation require, and through private enterprise will "ex ploit" the air lanes of the world to create higher living standards "for hundreds of millions of people

Churchill Tells Of Coordination

LONDON, Aug. 4.-AP>- Prime Minister Winston Church i'll disclosed today that the Nor mandy invasien was coordinated with the Russian offensive, and added that everything is going well but it is the Red Army which is tearing the guts out Of Germany" ..
 He said, "4,375 persons have been killed in England recently by rocket bombs, and 14,OOo in iured. 17,00O homes have been destroyed since the attack began June 18th.
The Nome nugget., 1944-08-04

In his Seattle speech recently wee President Henry Wallace said: '"The new frontier extends from Minneapolis via the coast states and Alaska through Sl- beria and China all the way to Central Asia. Here are vast resources of mlner- als and manpower to be developed by democratic, peaceful methods - the methods not of exploitation but, on the contrary, the more profitable methods of creating higher living standards for hundreds of millions of people"
 As is usual with a Wallace statement this one is a mixture of fact and hay radicalism Obviously the trend of world development is routed as he sug- through the coast cities and Alas ka, thence to and through Siberia and on to China and Central Asia. But what of "exploitation" as opposed to the more profitable methods of creating higher living standards for hundreds. ot millions of people?''
 Webster's New International diction- ary declines the word exploit as ito utilize; to make available; to get the val ue or usefulness out OI, as tO eApiol0 mine or agricultural lands To be sure there is a much later and secondary meaning which is also given-"to draw an illegitimate profit from; to speculate; to put upon.
 The point that we are attempting to make is that the Wallace type of think ing permits no acknowledgment of the entirely legitimate exploitation of natur- al resources by private enterprise for profit which is fully shared by the many. Yet this is exactly the type of exploita- tion which has created the highest liv- ing standards known to civilization-tne American standards.
 A good case in point may be had by reference to another statement in the same speech: "It is quite possible that for 15 or 20 years after this war the air route to Asia via Fairbanks, Alaska, will not be money-making one. But 1t is also certain that our national future requires that we, in cooperation with Russia and the Chinese, maintain such route" This week we are carrying advertising copy for United Airlines announcing that

Army Increases Contracts
For WACO Cargo elders

A contract for construction of
additional units of the CG-13 Waco
cargo glider has been completed be-
tween the Army Air Forces and a
large automotive company.
The contract calls for total
expenditure of approximately ST.
100000, including the cost of units
already under construction.
A pilot model of the CG-13 was
flown at Dearborn airport January
6 and was taken to an Air Forces
modification center for further test
flights. The new model is high
wing monoplane with plywood
wings of stressed skin design and
is braced externally.
The fuselage is constructed of
welded steel tubing covered with
fabric.
Although the new glider is only
slightly larger than the CG-4A, It
is equipped with landing flaps to
facilitate takeoff and reduce land
ing speed. The interior has been re-
designed and, in addition to pilot
and co-pilot, there is room for
approximately 40 fully equipped
soldiers.
The plane is stressed to with
stand higher towing speeds than
the CG-4A and is equipped with fly
ing instruments.
