| COLOMBO, Ceylon, May 28.--
The worlds newest and one of its
smallest republics-the Maldive
Islands-has just blossomed in the
Indian Ocean 400 miles southwest
of Ceylon.
Inhabitants Of the 1000 tiny
islands, scattered over 325 square
miles Of ocean, voted 80 per cent
to become a republic with an
elected president after more than
800 years as a sultanate. The past
century it has been under British
protection. IL
The first President is 41-year-
old Prime Minister Amin Didi,
island strong man, who will func-
ton virtually as one-man gov
ernment. The transition from
sultanate to republic will be COM
pleted some time in December,
when the Maldives adopt new
constitution-now being written
by Amin Didi-and seats him as
its first President.
The British government will
continue to handle Maldivian for
leign affairs. It has promised to
send a cruiser and its high COM
missioner in Ceylon to the inaugu-
ration at Nave. the Maldive cap
tital. Y

Cop per tubing service connections will be installed, engineers re- port. The engineering firm en- ployed by Wrangell was Angus McSWeeney of San Francisco.
 Bids on both these construction contracts were opened on June IS at the district office of APW in Juneau, with three bidders com peting for the Wrangell job, and seven for the dormitOry.

ues has definate relation to health
The material of which the body
cells is constructed and the curr-
ent material used, such as the food
eaten in recent days are the other
things which must be watched In
the interest Of health maintenance.
Scientific research" says Mr..
Burnham, indicates that from IS
per cent to SO per cent of all all
ments are nutritional..Food con-
tains the maximum Of nutrition at
the moment it is killed"
However, Mr.. Burnham points
out that produce In this country is
exceptionally low nutritionally due
to the fact that our soil is depleted.
The cost of replacing the natural
or trace" minerals and elements
of the soil which support healthy
lie for plants and animals is high,
so farmers "use chemicals which
have a catalysiS action that aids
crops to get more Of the remaining
trace mineral. A few more crops
are made possible with the use OF
these chemicals, but new low
is reached. The problem then be-
comes more involved and serious.
We would do well to outlaw these
chemicals which are not the trace
minerals necessary to the plants.
With them we only so from bad
to worse. :"
Mr.. Burnham believes that nat
ure's original method of building
and retaining topsoil by the use of
organic materials over and over
again is best. He suggests the use
of seaweed, reclaimed garbage and
sewerage pits as the primary
means Of getting back the 100
years of topsoil we have lost.
SIT Is the loss of organic matter
in cities where garbage and sewer
age is 'sanitarily' disposed of
which is the cycle that causes the
depletion Of soil.
''This is the secret that has kept
remote and isolated communities
thriving and naturally healthy on
small fields for thousands of years
without the slightest soil depletion
They have a phase that is
similar to our dust unto dust
which is enough to convince them
of the value in cycling organic
matter even though they are not
aware Of trace minerals.
".......It is obvious that drastic
steps must be taken in this country,
steps that viii seem as drastic as
war itself. II must be realized that
two projects are called for. First,
the need to get the soil back to a
| good working level. Then there

LIFE
ABROAD
BY STANFORD BRADSHAW

BUENOS AIRES R A new
theme of lone car in every ga
rage" is being sounded by Presi-
dent Juan D. Peron. This program
sounds particularly attractive in
Argentina, where only one person
in 20 owns a car.
General Motors, Ford and Chry-
sler have assembly plants in
Buenos Aires, but have not fab
ricated cars for themselves since
early 194S. Peron's government, to
save foreign exchange, has re-
fused to grant import licenses to
the firms. Some few licenses have
been given to persons with con-
facts in the government.
The result is market where
new chevrolets are selling for
Sc, 200 plus. Cadillacs, much be-
loved by Argentina's new aristo-
cracy, carry $4,000 price tags.
That puts car ownership far out
of reach of the average Argen-
tine, who earns perhaps 500 a
month.
To give these workers some hope
and also to encourage a national
istic spirit, the government an

therefore, they must preserve it

COLUMBUS, O.& ti - An out

tration and a man who once held
key job in it are waging a spirited
battle for the post of United States
senator from Ohio in the Nov. 4
election.
Standing for reelection Is Re-
publican John w. Bricker, three
time governor of Ohio and COP
vice presidential nominee in 1914.
Seeking to unseat him is Michael
v. Disable of Toledo, former feder-
al price administrator.
Their campaigns provide Ohio
ans with a sharply etched election
battle against a backdrop of ma
tionaI significance.
Disable, former mayor Of Toledo,
says the major campaign issue is
world responsibility versus isola-
tionism."
Bricker pitches his bid for re-
election on an attack against the
New and Fair Deal programs. He
says only the election Of Gen.
Dwight d. Eisenhower as president
will bring a change. And, he says
the general must be given Re-
publican Congress with which to
work.
Bricker. an ardent eampaigner,
blames the administration for in
flation and the Korean War, de-
mands an end to government cor
ruption and curb on the treaty

and Senate.
The junior Ohio senator. whose

elections.

KEY WESTER URGES NATURAL
NUTRITIONAL HEALTH AIDS

1.-The pure food laws we have
today ignore nutrition. Some coun-
tries have banned American foods
because of their low nutritional
value and preserving chemicals.
The pure food laws are respon-
sible for this low quality in our
food. This condition would not ex-
list if the word pure was applied
in meaning as found in the diction-
airy. The definition of pure is:
Free from mixture or vitiating
material. Free from adulteration;
genuine: real; absolute With
these definitions in mind, pure
food would be natural food"
Warnings about the depletion of
the topsoil and the other matters
mentioned by Mr.. Burnhan have
been given before by the Depart
ment of Agriculture and by thou
sands of people who have studied
the facts and see the problem as
he sees it. the writer points out.
Concluding his letter, Burnham
says, "The combined reports of
the Department Of Agriculture per,

Ewing on our national health in
dicateS that this letter is not ex-
aggerated in importance or fact.
For my countrymen and my
self, / would like to expect i'm
mediate action on a soil conserva-
ton program as described"
Mr.. Burnham says that he does
not expect any detailed reply to
this letter which he mailed to the
President last Saturday, but that
he hopes that this addition to the
clamor for natural health helps
may aid in some measures being
taken along this line.
