ADMIT USE OF
POLYOXETHYLENE

Later, however, the House Select
Committee, which made somewhat
broader investigation, found that
Ipolyoxyethylene was definitely be-
ing used in bread making. The presi-
dent of the Purity Baking Co., G.
F. Gauger, whose firm has a chain
of seven bakeries in Illinois, admit
ted that his bakeries had been using
it." He further declared that the
Quality Bakers of America, of which
his company is member, have con-
tinued to recommend Myrj in spite
of all the adverse evidence.
While the bakers have publicly
sought to deny that polyoxyethylene
soiteners can be used to cut down on
shortening and other ingredients, a
bulletin put out by the Quality Bakers
recommended Myrj to the members
with the subtly-phrased assurance
that bread baked with it "has shown |
to advantage with moderately low
shortening levels" In more direct
form, DR.. William B. Bradley, scien-
tific director of the American Insti-
tute Of Baking, said of the claims
made by the manufacturers of soft
eners in appealing to the bakers:
"As | remember, there was only
one that | have seen that recon-
mended a reduction in milk solids.
1 have seen several that recon-
mend a reduction in shortening"
BREAD is IMPOVERISHED"
All progress in the art of bread
baking has consisted in adding larger

ure. In its present-day form, bread

Particular concern has conferred
around the use of chemical, poly
oxyethylene, which is a surface-ac-
tive agent used as a bread softener

manufacturer of the polyoxyethylene

whose products are sold under trade
names of Span, Tween, and Myrj,

COWLES PRESS LINKED
WITH MILLERS

The newspapers have generally Civ
en- little or no space to scientific
evidence showing how toxic are many
Of the chemicals currently being
used in foods but have, on the other
hand, featured the flimsy replies
and propaganda statements put out
by manufacturers. "Millers Assail
Gillette Study" screamed the head
line printed, for example, by the
DES MONIES REGISTER (Sept. 21,
1850 over a lengthy article which
gave only the millers' side of the
argument, as set out by the Millers'
National Federation, and brushed
aside all criticisms of bleaching and
devitalizing flour as 'unjustifiable'
attacks upon the industry"
The article carried by the DES
MONIES REGISTER charged that
the findings of the Senate Com
mittee are full of false and mis-
leading statements" and will result
in great injury to the public" but
presented no scientific data of any
sort. For its source and authority
the article cited Herman Fakler and
William A. Brewer, both of whom
are registered as lobbyists for the
Millers' National Federation.
1t cannot be said that the DES
MONIES REGISTER has an unbiased
and strictly objective viewpoint in
this controversy. John Cowles is
not only chairman of the board of
the Register and Tribune Co. but
ne is also on the board of General
Mills, Inc, the biggest milling COM
Dany in the country.

FARM TO-MARKET
SPREADS WIDEN

Farmers have been unjustly blamed
for the inflationary mark-up of food
prices in the city, but the Senate Re
port No. GOA states:
a.. whereas in 1947 the wheat
farmer received 3 cents out of a
loaf of bread selling for 13 cents,
his return in 1949 was only Pa
cents from loaf selling for 141a
cents"
AS chemicals are used in place of
healthful farm products and retail
prices are marked up, the farmers as
we'll as the consumers are the vic
tins. Bread, like many other foods,
has become "ersatz" and if manu-
facturers were required to label
their products accurately, the con-
tents would read like the formulas
of patent-medicines used for snake
bite

FOOD AND DRUG ACT
"a FARCE"

More than twenty years ago, DR.
Wiley, the father of food and drug
legislation in this country, charged
that the manufacturers had made a
farce out of the Food and Drug Act
If the Act had been enforced as it
was written, DR.. Wiley said that the
situation would have been such that
mo food product in our coun-
try would have any trace of ben
zoic acid, sulfurous acid or sui
fites, or any alum, save for medic
inal purposes. No soft drink would
contain caffein or theobromine. No
bleached flour would enter inter-
state commerce. Our foods and
drugs would be wholly without any
form of adulteration and misbrand-
ing. The health of our people would
be vastly improved and their life
greatly extended" "A History
of A Crime Against the Food Law"
1929, page 391.
The big millers and bakers were
angered by the facts set forth in
Senate Report No. 604, such as the
statement that:
"In addition to the bleaches used
in flour, milling consumers have
complained that many of the fIours
and breads contain phosphorus, =
fiuorine, silicon, alum, nicotine
acid, potassium bromate, and
score of other poisonous drugs"

port points out, however, that it was

OF chemicals to bread or other foods

Administration to be noninjurious.
No action has been taken on this
recommendation, and nothing has

large bread companies. The latest re-
port of the Senate Subcommittee on

". the Department of Agricul-
ture estimates the farmers share
of the grain (flour content) as
about II per cent and the farmers

TOXIC BREAD SOFTENERS

DR.. Edward Eagle, whose expert
ments were supervised by the dean
of American psychologists. DR.. An
ton J. Carlson, reported that hamsters
fed diet containing Myrj for %
to 38 weeks showed "gross pathology
cal' effects, such as "small testes,
thickened bladder walls, distorted alb
normal kidneys, enlarged coca, and
brown discoloration of the liver"
Instead of cooperating to halt the
use of these toxic softeners, the big
bakers have sought to dismiss all the
evidence offered by competent scien-
fists as Notwithstanding. To
prove their point, they have tried to
make capital out of the Senate Re-
port No. 1874, made by the Subcom-
mittee on the Utilization of Farm
Crops, chaired by Sen. Guy M. Gill

OF WASHINGTON

ADtah, June b-tHl -
Last Saturday after their victory
string had been snapped at Ia
games, the Chicago White Sox
said; well, Wen just have to
start another one"
The White Sox waited one day
while the Boston Red Sox hun1b-
led them, and since then have won
six straight. Number six was fash
Toned, 5 to 0, over the Washing
ton Senators behind Harry Dor
lsh, another pitcher other teams
gave up on long ago.
Manager Paul Richards had used
Dorish only in relief this season
and he hadn't pitched an inning
since May 22nd. But yesterday
the willy manager sent husky
Harry TO the mound and presto. d
five-hit shntout.
Dorish was in trouble ONLY in
the eighth inning when the first
two batters hit safely. But Dorish
got pinch-hitter Mike Mccormick
to ground into a double-play, and
retired Eddie Yost on another
bounder. That was the end OF the
threat 81
The White Sox gave their hur-
Ter quick lead with two hits and
run in the first inning, and two.
hits and two more runs in the
third. They added single runs in
the fifth and seventh TO wrap it
up
Julio Moreno was the losing
pitcher
The Brooklyn Dodgers, who
have been making q little hay in
the National League, won their
sixth straight, a 2 to decision
over the ST. Louis Cardinals.
The victory gave Brooklyn
clean sweep of its series with the
Cards Carl Furillo singled with
the bases loaded and none out to
break up a tight pitchers duel be-
tween Preacher Roe and young
Tom Poholsky
Furillo's blow came after Pohol-
sky was relieved by Ted Wilks.
Roe has won eight straight with
out a loss.
The loss dropped the Cards in
to a second place tie with the
Cincinnati Reds who nipped the
New York Giants, to 4. A fifth
inring home run by Red Stallcup
with two mates on the bases was
the winning blow. W FfM @ 4
Ken Raffensberger was the
winner, but he needed help from
Frank Smith in the seventh when
New York rallied for three runs.
Yves Westrum, Monte irwin and
Ray Noble hqlnered for New
York.
Boston got another top-notch
pitching job from Vern Bickford
and downed the Pittsburgh Pr
ates 5 to 0.
Biclkfurd held the Pirates to six
hits IN recording his eighth win
against five setbacks. Earl Tohge-
son, Willard Marshall and Sid
Gordon led the Braves at bat.
