House Blocks Endinq
'Of HeIicopter Mails
Despite Hiqh Costs
By ihe A.soeioted Pres,

The House voted yesterday tc
keep the helicopter in the mail
business despite some complaints
that it is wasteful.
1t struck from the supplemental
appropriation bill a section which
would have allowed the Postmaster
General to discontinue the use of
helicopters If he found them un-
economical.
Spokesman for the appropria-
tions committee said the provision
was intended to keep the Civil
Aeronautics Board from forcing
the Post Office Department to use
helicopters to shuttle between air.
ports and postoffices in Chicago
and Los Angeles.
Representative Gary, Democrat
of Virginia. said it costs $400, 900
a year to use the helicopter for
service that normally should cost
$4,000.
The amendment that knocked
out the anti-helicopter provision
was offered by Representative
Beckworth, Democrat, of Texas
He said the provision would give
the Postmaster General too broad
a grant of power and could be
used to retard the development OF
aviation. The amendment carried
by a standing vote of So to 6s.

several minor House amendments.
Chairman johnson of the Sen
ate Commerce Committee. original

ton on q number of other Dis

One OF the measures to be
called up in the Senate was one
to authorize a $50,0OO appropria-
ton for the improvement and
night flood lighting of the stadium
of Eastern, High School.
This has been opposed by the
Commissioners on the grounds
that this project should take its
chances among all others in the

cial legislative priority.

ment that II this Is granted 1t

A proposed National standard
for bread-setting forth what the
family loaf should contain and in
what quantities-was announced
today in the Federal Register.
This official government pub
lication presented the proposed
standard as drawn up by the Food
and Drug Administration after
hearings held over the last nine
years. 1t is to be adopted after
80 days, unless exceptions are filed
in the meantime.
If adopted, it would apply only
to bread shipped or sold in inter-
state commerce. 1t would, how
ever. also provide future work.
ing basis for uniform State stand
ards, Food and Drug officials said.
The proposed new standards
would permit bread containing
soy flour up to per cent Of the
weight of the flour used to be sold
as white bread.
They would require that the
weight of raisins in raisin bread
be not less than half the weight
of the flour used.

National Standard for Bread
Ready After 9 Years Study

They would allow whole wheat
bread also to be sold as Graham
bread" or "entire wheat"
Breads made from white flour
mixed with whole wheat flour or
with cracked wheat or crushed
wheat would have to be properly
identified in their names as to
the wheat ingredients used, and
could not be sold simply as wheat
bread"
Milk bread would have to con-
tain milk, or non-fat dry milk
solids and milk fat in prescribed
amounts. as the wetting ingredi-
ent instead of water.
Maximum and minimum limits
on thiamine. ribofavin, niacin and
iron for enriched white bread also
are set forth in the proposed
standards. Many States require
that white bread be so enriched.
The proposed standards would
not allow the use of so-called
bread softeners or emulsifiers.
Food and drug experts said the
principal such ingredient, poly
oxyethylene monostearate, has for
some years been used in "a sub
stantial amount" of the bread
produced in the United States.
