Flour Bleach Found
To Aff|ict Animals
with ConvuIsions

A product used to bleach the white
-four most Americans eat gives dogs
and other animals convulsive fits,
if fed to them in sufficient guam
titles, the Journal Of the American
Medical Association reports.
Eleven scientists. chiefly from the
Chicago area, say they have been
unable to detect similar harmful
effects in humans, but warn against
premature conclusions from their
limited research.
They recommend the development
Of alternative processes of flour
treatment, unless conclusive proof
is obtained that the present method
is harmless. Any drastic change
in millinng methods may have to
await the end of the world food
crisis, however.
Substance Used For Is Years.
The substance under investigation
is nitrogen trichloride, commerce
ally known as "agene" and used for
the last 25 years as a supposedly
safe method of aging flour arti-
flcially, permitting it to be used
promptly without long storage in
warehouses.
The process is said to improve
the baking quality of -four and to
Evening star., 1947-11-30

produce "a larger, softer loaf Of
bread with q silkier and somewhat
whittier crumb."
The scientists fed q number Of
animals a "nutritionally adequate
diet" containing at least rs per cent
Of unusually heavily "agenized"
white wheat flour.
Dogs developed brain disorders
similar to human epilepsy within
a week. Lack Of muscular co-or-
dination, weakness, convulsions,
and changes in behavior were OBJ
served In many animals.
Further Study Advised.
Experiments on human beings,
however, produced no comparable
symptoms in individuals who had
eaten the -four in amounts and for
periods that unfailingly produced
fits. in dogs.
Since the agene process has been
used only a quarter Of century, the
scientists recommended further
study of all diseases OF man that
have increased markedly in recent
years to determine the possibility
of a connection with the -four treat
ment. Neurological diseases should
receive special attention, they
advised.
Parallel inquiries at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin also were reported
in the medical Journal Five scien-
lists there found that dogs eating
large amounts of -four treated with
the same small amount of agene
used in standard commercial prac-
tice developed mild fits in 13 to
80 days.
However, dogs whose ration con-
tanned only 80, per cent flour, COM
parable to the quantity consumed
by the average American, showed
no symptoms after IL weeks.
Reduction Of Use Suggested.
Continued investigation Of the
agene process has been recommended
by the Food and Nutrition Board
of the National Research Council.
In recent letter to the Food
and Drug Administration. the board
urged development of different flour
processing methods, further study of
the cause of toxic symptoms already
noted in animals, and reduction of
the use of agene to a minimum.
It was pointed out, however, that
"the board considers that the pres
ent food crisis might be aggravated
by a more drastic and immediate
restriction of familiar practice at
this time. 1t might decrease output
of bakeries, increase costs because
of new technical difficulties, or waste
-four by spoilage of patches in the
bakeshop."

greatly different from wartime to-

Anderson. The goals seek a total
of 365 million acres, of which 296
millions are for cultivated crops
and the balance for hay crops. Del

10000 acres of wheat, 10000 acres
of rye and $500 acres of potatoes.

Egg Production

According to the November 1
Delaware Crop Report of the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics,
Delaware egg production during
October was the same as October
of last year-eight million eggs.
Although there was decrease of
four per cent less laying hens this
year as compared to the same per-
iod last year, the higher laying
rate per hen accounted for this
equal total egg production.

help each other to work in safety

Swedish Explorers Typographical
Material From Central Asia BeinQ
Published In The United States

STOCKHOLM-According to re-
ports in the Stockholm press, the
extensive photographed material
from Central Asia collected by a
number of expeditions which dur
ing the period 1927-1935 traversed
Central Asia and Tibet under the
leadership of the Swedish explorer
Sven Hedin, is now being published
in the USA.
One of DR.. Hedin's assistants
during these expeditions, Professor
Erik Norm, of Upsala, who re-
Gently returned from the USA,
states that this unique cartograph-
ical material has been taken over
by the authorities in Washington
and that the publication has al
ready been commenced. 1t will be
included in a great work, Carte
Internationale du Monde, which is
being compiled in the USA. A Ger
man firm had earlier started
printing these maps, but only three
out of the 81 planned sheets had
been completed when the war pre-
vented further publication.
The area traversed and mapped
by the Hedin expeditions stretches
from the Yellow Sea in the east
to Russian Turkestan in the west,
about $500 miles, and from Dsun-
garia in the north to the Hima-
layas in the south. a distance of
/ ,250 miles.
Interesting Work on the History
of Silk
In an interview DR.. Hedin says
that the scientific preparation of
the vast body of material collected
during his latest expeditions to the
interior of Asia has now advanced
so far that in the last IL years 20
volumes have been published. The
costs have partly been betrayed by
the Swedish government. About %
volumes remain to be published.
In few months a volume deal
ing with the botanical studies made
during the expeditions will be re-
leased, and at the beginning of
next year a unique work on the
history of silk in China will fol-
low. The latter is based on finds
and observations made in 2,OOe-
year-old graves near Lopnor. in
which the silken shrouds in which
the dead were clothed were re-
markably well preserved. The re-

Lie and Stassen Speak
At Nobel Dinner

NEW YORK Harold E. Stas-
sen, former Governor of Minnesota
and a candidate for the 1913 Re-
publican Presidential nomination,
spoke recently at the fourth an
nual dinner celebrating the birth
of Alfred Nobel, inventor of dyna-
mite and donor of the prizes that
bear his mamie. 1t was given by The
American Scandinavian Founda-
ton at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel
here. Chairman of the evening was
Lithgow Osborne, President of the
Foundation. and POSTMASTER was
Allen w. Dulles. Other speakers
were Trygve Lie, Secretary Cen
eral of the United Nations, and
Dr.. Harlow Shapley, head of Har-
ward University Observatory.
1T is my view that individual
economic freedom is inseparable
from the other freedoms" said Mr..
Stassen. Both Scandinavia and
America are demonstrating that
capitalism can be modernized
from its traditional forms, that
monopolies can be checked, that
workers rights can be defended
and developed, economic fluctua-
tons can be minimized, and that
crashes can be avoided. The devel-
opment of certain cooperatives to
compete with large corporations IN
a particular enterprise and to
strengthen the position of agricul-
ture in a free economy and the
establishment of public corpora
tions with its management quite
decentralized from government,
have been a significant contribu-
ton of the Scandinavian countries
in the search for means of MAIN
tanning economic freedom and cor
recting weaknesses and abuses in
the capitalistic system"
Mr.. Lie warned that small coun-
tries will be unable to remain out
side another world conflict, and
should therefore take an active
part in the United Nations.
