ister of Information Brendon Bracken has put his foot down, Apparently he doesn't think the story oi eight million people stand. ing up to night-and-day bombing, with the largest city in the world being demolished all around them, Is news.
 Brendan Braeken, when called before Parliament, always has glib explanation. He can quote the number of laudatory articles published in this American paper or that. But privately he speaks contemptuously of the American press, and quotes to the British Cabinet President Roosevelt's de. rogatory remarks about American newspapers as Justification for his muz2ling of the correspons dents.
 Illustrating the results of Braek. ems policy, one British writer reported that the American peo. pie were callous about London'S plight, when the real fact Is that the American people have never been permitted to hear the full story of that plight.

FOOD Ts NOT MEDICINE

Tn our talk about the most free quent complaints of elderly folk the other day = lack of pep" rheuma. tism, leg cramps at night, fatlga- blllty--I said these complaints spell nutritlonal deficiency rather than old age, as I have observed that an adeuuate daily intake of vita min B.complex and vltamin D and the high calcium foods prevents or dlspels these complaints In many instances,
 This practice of experimenting the ordinary diet with Q daily ra- ton of vltamin B-complex and vi- tamln D. and including in the daily diet a reasonable amount of milk, cheese, greens, peas, beans, nuts and peanuts (high calcium foods) is NOT MEDICINE. It is better nu- triton. It is natural food.
 Of course 1t makes little differ ence whether your regard 1t as medicine or food, except In one re spect. If you think such q supple. mentary daily ration of vitamin B. complex, vltamin D and even some extra calcium gluconate or di-cal- cium phosphate is medicine, you will expect it to "cure" whatever com plalnt you have, so you can stop taking it, I assure you 1t will not do SO, On the other hand If you have enough sense Co regard it as nutri- ton, food which is essential for health, Vite, functional efficiency but which the ordinary diet fails to provide In sufficient amount, then you will not discontinue taking It but on the contrary you will make it a regular lifetime habit to take your daily vitamin ration just as you take your daily breakfast, lunch or supper Only on this basis Is tt likely to do you any good
 Tn most instances one with any or all of the four complaints mem toned should take daily in the first month or so approximately 5000 units of vitamins D, 72o units of Bl (thiamin and 2000 micrograms of B2 (ribofiavin), and after the first month about half of these amounts daily. one with the complaint of rheumatism or cramps In legs should take daily in addition to this, in the first two weeks, approximately 27 grains of diealcium phosphate, i8 grains of calcium gluconate and 22SO units of vitamin D, and there- after one.third of these amounts daily for an indefinite period-de- pending on how much of the cal- cium- -rich foods ones daily diet pros Vides. And please remember, you EAT this-it is essential food, not medicine.

CALL TO WOMEN
(Roston Postl


 Another urgent plea has been sent out to women by Miss Mar. garet Hickey. chairman of the woin. ems committee Of the War Man. power Commission, to give part Of their time in the wer effort. She points out that with the reopening of schools many mothers will now have the time to give ct least c few hours each day in doing some essen. tial job. Hospitals are badly in need of part-time nurses aides. The Red Gross would gladly welcome wofii. on for 6 few hours each day, and there are war plants where women can be of great value on partstiine work. It is to mothers whose chii- dren will soon be going back to school that this appeal is being broadcast.

MARS PLANES: The naval air
transport service will put 20 of the
new model Mars planes into service
as soon as they are finished. The
new JRM-1s are primarily designed
for cargo carrying, but are quickly
convertible to use as hospital ships
or troop transports. They can carry
las, 1000 pounds of cargo, such as field
guns, jeeps or engines, or 1872 men,
as transports.
STOCKS: A wave Of buying swept
the New York and other stock mar
kets in response to Sen. Alben Bark
ley's resignation speech. The ma
jority leaders outburst was taken
as confirmation that rift had de-
ve1oped between congress and the
President, a situation considered IA
vorable to business. Prime Minis
ter Churchilrs statement that the
European phase OF the war very pos
sibly would continue into 1945 was
also q bullish factor. Prices rose
from fractions to three points, with
aircraft and railroad shares in the
lead. Bonds were carried along.
PHILIPPINES: A state of nation
al emergency has been declared in

BUGLE: Plastic materials have
solved another problem-this time in
the brass musical instrument field.
The army has been short Of bugles
because Of scarcity of brass. A
plastic bugle has been developed
that sounds as sweet as the metal
ones. Besides that, it is only half
as heavy, needs no warming up on
cold mornings, and costs less to
make.
MOURNING: Although he has
long been training himself against
any display of emotion, Mohandas
Ghandi wept silently over the casket

GERMAN FOOD: The food situa-

Unless the 1914 harvest is distinctly

AUTOMOBILES: The first post

ARGENTINA:
Ne1v Chief

Having drawn the displeasure Of
Argentina's celebrated "Coloneps
Club" which stands as the dominat-
ing force in Argentine politics, Gen.
Pedro Ramirez turned over his pres
idency to Gen. Edelmiro ]. Farrell,
army favorite.
Ramirez action climaxed the cri-
sis created when his foreign min
lister stood for declaring war on the
Axis and subsequently was fired on
the insistence Of the ultra-neutral
"ColonePs Club"
Although Ramirez foreign minis
ter left his cabinet, he evidently lost
the confidence Of the "Coloneps
Club" which then promoted Far
reu to the high position.

ARMY BEEF:
Small Plants Tapped

To assure the military services OF
needed supplies, the War Food adj
ministration prepared to order 5000
small packing and slaughter plants
and local butchers to set aside so
per cent of their "arny style'' beef
beginning April l.
At the same time, VIA announced
manufacturers Of cheddar cheese
will be required to reserve Is per
cent of their March and SIS per cent
of their April production, compared
with IS per cent for January and
February.
Since the small packers and butch
ers sold their entire output to civil
ians, their reservation for the serv-
ices is expected to cut into dones-
tic supplies. Previously, the govern
ment obtained it's beef from about
425 federa1ly inspected plants, but de-
cided to tap the other sources upon
the belief that more than normal
numbers of cattle were being mar
keted in the smaller centers.

CONGRESS-:
Democratic Revolt

Reelected by the senate's Demo-
cratic majority as it's floor leader
after breaking with President Roose-
welt on the tax veto, burly Sen. Alben
Barley (Ky.) took back the reins OF
a ballxy party, but not without an
eye on restoring harmony In It's
ranks with its principles.
Barkley's break with F.D.R. came
as a result Of the Presidents rasp-
ing attack on the 1900, 000, 900 tax
bill, which he said was an "inedible
crust" offering relief to "the greedy
instead of the needy" It was not
the question of the increased taxes
but rather of the size and nature OF
the new levies which promoted the
differences between the Chief Exec
utive and congress, and Barkley's
position indicated stiffening congress
sional independence in formulating
legislation, rather than an about
reputation Of Democratic princi-
pies.
The same attitude prevailed in
the house, where 80-year-old Rep.
Robert Doughton's declaration that
he parted company with F.D.R.
on the tax veto set the stage for
congressional overriding of the veto.
The house voted 299 to IS to over
ride the veto. The senate then killed
the veto by a vote Of II to IA.

TAXES:
Individuals Pay Most

For the first time in the history
Of the income tax, the federal treas
ury is receiving more money from
individual taxpayers than from cor
porations. It is estimated that in the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1914, in
dividuals will have paid in 1914 bill
lion dollars, and corporations about
IA billions.
Experts believe that this reversal
in the sources Of government income
will be permanent. For the dura-
ton and for years afterward. tax
rates will remain high. Reductions
are more likely to be made in cor
porate levies than in individual.

PACIFIC:
Closer to Tokyo

Surging beyond Japan's crumbling
outer Pacific defenses, U. S. carrier
forces struck within 1,400 miles Of
Tokyo to blast at the Mariana is
lands, so called gateway to the enc
my homeland.
While planes from the carrier
force ripped Jap defenses in the
Marianas, other U. S. air and naval
units continued hammering down
enemy resistance in the New Britain
area, blasting shipping centers used
as feeder points for barges supply
ing embattled Nipponese troops in
South Pacific outposts.
AS U. S. naval and air forces tore
up the Marshalls, Carolines and
Marianas, the eneny's vaunted navy
and aerial auxiliary still showed no
face to scrap, with the Tokyo radio
telling its listeners that the Jap
chiefs will order a fight only after
drawing the u. S. from its bases.

EXTEND CCC:
Subsidies Included

With consumer subsidy foes un-
able to override a presidential veto,
the senate passed bill extending
the life Of the Commodity Credit
corporation until June, 1915, and per-
hitting it's use of from $50 to 900
million dollars for payments to hold
down retail food costs.
Headed for acceptance in the
house, whose banking committee ap-
proved similar legislation, the bill
also calls for continuation of price
support programs to assure farm
production, a feature endorsed by
those who opposed consumer subsi-
dies or government payments to
professors and others to cut retail
prices.
A recent check by CCC showed
that only one billion of its three bill
lion dollar funds have been obligat-
ed and the remainder are available
for extended operations. War Food
Administrator Marvin Jones' re-
quest for an additional $500, 1000, 900
postwar fund was turned down.
