La PLATA Meeting on
Deficiencies in Food

LA PLATA, Md, July 23.-Food
deficient in minerals and other
chemical elements may be at least
partly responsible for a variety of
human ailments. including heart
trouble, rheumatism and asthma,
DR.. Daniel l.. Seckinger, assistant
public health officer for the Dis
trict of Columbia, said today.
Speaking at the Charles County
fairgrounds near here, DR.. Seek
niger told a group of 200 attend
ing the closing day program OF
Southern Maryland Soil Conserva-
ton Week that city people as well
as farmers had a vital stake in
preserving the Nations topsoil.
Studies also show. DR.. Seckinger
said. that in many cases food
lacking in minerals is a contrib
uting factor to tooth decay.
Cites Loss in Sewage.
Food rich in the necessary
minerals, particularly nitrogen
and potash, cannot be produced,
he declared, on land from which
the topsoil has been washed away.
Referring to the loss of minerals
at city sewage disposal plants
over the Nation, DR.. Seckinger
said that if these elements were
replaced it would result in pro-
duction of more than two billion
tons of fertilizer containing 10 per
cent nitrogen and a like amount
of potash.
The District is planning treat
ment facilities to make sewage
sludge valuable, he said. Balti-
more has had such facilities for
several years,
DR.. w. B. Kemp. director OF
the State Agriculture Experiment
Station, described soil erosion as
a "two-edge sword"

The total non-farm employment
on that date was 679.500. the same
figure as on May Is. 1t was the
first time this year that employ
ment did not show drop from

However, the employment level
was still 27.500 below the total OF

Der of job seekers during the per-
iod reached the record postwar
peak of 5000! This *Was more

less in June of last years.
Wei over two-thirds of the total
unemployed in June was concen-
trated in the Baltimore area. OF
the total out of work, 22,600 were
veterans.
| The job figured was equalized
/ in June as drops in construction
machinery industries. Govern
ment employment and interstate
railroads were offset by gains in
canneries, breweries, steel mills
and retail trade.
The slowup in building activity
brought the loss of $500 jobs in
that industry. The machinery in
dustries continued to decline with
a drop of 500 workers. There was
net loss of 900 jobs in Govern
ment service and 600 more in
interstate railroads.
