Federation
Acts on Bread
By Ruth Deon

In a resolution aimed especially
at bread softeners", the District
Federation Of Women's Clubs yes
terday opposed the addition Of
"nonnutritive ingredients, pre-
servatives or substitutes" to any
food product. including bread,
without the approval Of the Food
and Drug Administration.
Such substances should be
certified by the Food and Drug
Administration as "non-injurious
for human consumption" before
being used, the resolution speci-
fed.
The women further resolved
that mo ingredients or preserva-
tives be substituted in whole or
in part for natural food elements. :"
The action was taken at a meet
ing at the Hamilton Hotel on a
motion introduced by Mrs Ernest
w. Howard in the absence Of
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, chairman
of the Legislation Committee.
Mrs. Howard labeled a similar
action taken by the board Of di-
rectors of the General Fedora
ton Of Women's Clubs in New
York last Saturday as "too vague"
because the board did not speci-
fically mention bread" in its reso-
luton against the use of SOFTEN
ers" and "emulsifiers" in food
products.
She warned federation members
that unless they demand a def
milton and standard of identity
for bread and rolls, "this sort of
thing will 60 on until We'll be
doing away altogether with the
use of milk and fat products in
bread and will be paying for it with
our health and doctor bills"

DEAR MISS DIX:

DEAR MISS DIX:
We are a family of two sons
and two daughters. all married.
Our financial conditions are all
on par. Recently our mother
became seriously i'll, necessitating
doctors, nurses and the other ex-
penses of sickness. At that time,
at my sisters suggestion, we all
agreed that the four of us should
divide the expenses equally, so
that the burden would not rest on
just ones shoulders. Well, the
sisters have contributed but a
very small part, and there remains
quite a bit of expense yet to be
taken care Of, and they refuse to
pay their share. They say it is the
duty of the sons to take care of
such an emergency, yet they are
quite as well able to pay as we
are. Is it the sons duty to bear
the entire burden? r. c. L.
Answer: Certainly not. Your
mother is quite as much the
daughters mother as she is the
sons. and it is just as much their
duty to help take care of her as it
Is yours.
I do not know Of anything that

Women's Democratic Club Hears Talk
On U. N. by Mrs. Georqiu Neese Clark
By Frances Kuhn

Democratic women were urged
yesterday Ito set up a fire-break
against fears, rumors and peSsim-
ism that have sometimes engulfed
us in the past" by Mrs. Georgia
Neese Clark, Treasurer of the
United States.
Addressing the Woman's Ma

ems responsibility in making the
United Nations work, Mrs. Clark
said she was convinced that wom-
en- should keep in mind the aims
and goals of the United Nations
organization and should share
their knowledge of its workings
with others.
American women are deeply
concerned with security" Mrs.
Clark declared, pointing out that
their security concerns their
families, their communities, the
Nation and the world. Recent
polls, she added, have drawn at
tention to women's lack of knowl-
edge about the United Nations.
BY making themselves chanrels
of information on the United
Nations, they could help dissipate
impatience and skepticism. she
suggested.
Both men and women of
America have gained the impress
sion that the United Nations is
too complicated except for a stu
dent of foreign affairs" she said.
THAT attitude has made many
feel that they have no right to
study and understand its work"
Women should try to realize
what was in the minds and hearts
of those who drew up the United
Nations Charter in San Francisco,
the speaker declared. Let us re-
member that, in 1945. 81 nations.

Prince Georges Drops
Gaming Charge Filed
After Lions Excursion

Gambling charges against four
Washington area men arrested
last May after a raid on a Poto-
mac River boat excursion were
dropped today in Prince Georges
County.
States Attorney A. Gwynn
Bowie obtained dismissal Of the
charges In Upper Marlboro Police
Court on a nolle PROSE- motion
to Magistrate Arthur P. Owens.
This move brought to an abrupt
end q case attended by ofilcial
embarrassment.
The raid was conducted by
Prince Georges detectives on tn,
steamer Mount. Vernon last Ma!
as while members OF the South
west Harbor. Lions Club were on .
cruise to raise money for charity
The county charged that a gam
ing table was set up and operated
by William B. Smith. 81, of 314
Franklin avenue. Silver Spring
William E. Atkinson, SIS. of 50;
Tuckerman street NV: William
r. Hildebrand, IS. of 7108 Glouces-
ter road, Wood Acres. Md. and
Philip M. Perry. 40, of $500 Thirty
first street NV.
Mr.. Bowie said today that the
charges were filed primarily be-
cause the police were put on the
spot" He said the detectives were
asked to make the raid by an
official of the steamboat company
and that he believed the police
proceeded properly.
The States attorney said the
decision to drop the charges is
justified because the defendants,
all of whom are respectable busi-
nessmen, are not gamblers "as
such" and that they had no mo-
tive Of private profit in this rela-
lively small operation. In addi-
ton, Mr.. Bowie said, civic clubs
and other reputable organizations
frequently conduct benefit pro-
grams like the Lions excursion
and the participants are not aware
that any law violation is involved.
The case had been postponed
several times.
