AdditiVes
Safe for Food
BY the Associated Press

A regulation listing 1872 chem
icals which have been found
safe for use in food was an
nounced today by George P,
Larrick, commissioner of food
and drugs.
The regulation was issued
under provisions of the food
additives amendment of 1858,
which puts the burden of proof
Of safety of additiveS on the
manufacturer.
The listed chemicals are
generally regarded as safe by
355 qualified experts who re-
Sponded to a QUESTIONABLE sent
to 900 such experts. Manufac-
turers using the listed food
chemicals need not furnish
further proof of their safety
The order in some instances
fixes toleranceS, or safe limits.
on the amounts of a material
that may be used.
A list of 1873 food chemicals
was submitted to the experts
on December 9, 1858, for con-
slderation. Mr.. Larrick said the
FDA has concluded on the basis
of the views of the scientists
that all but six of that list
could be Immediately Ilassed
as safe.
Further consideration is
needed for the six materials.
These include coloring mate
Irials-carbon black charcoal,
titanium dioxide and ultra
marine blue-and two SUBJ
stances originally listed under
the classification of buffers,
Iacidifers and neutralizers-oleic
acid and linoleic acid.
The fact that the six ma
terialS were not included in
the regulation does not mean
their use in food is prohibited,
the announcement said, but
that proposed usage must be
reviewed for safety.
The new regulation becomes
effective in 80 days.
The accepted chemicals are
classified in the list according
to the purposes for their addi-
tion to food, such as coloring
sweetening without adding cal
ories to the product, preserving,
controlling acid content and
regulating texture.

Some Back Oath
Although some institutions
are pulling out of the program,
others are taking part and sup
porting the loyalty oath.
DR.. T. Keith Glennan, head
.of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, said
he is against the oath require

United States and Britain were
among II nations abstaining.
France has made clear she
intends to go ahead with the
desert tests within a few months
with or without the approval
of the General Assembly. Pres
ident de Gaulle is anxious to
join the atomic club-now lin
tied to the United States, Rus
sia and Britain-to strengthen
his hand in the prospective
summit talks and in his rela-
tions with Britain. the United
States and West Germany.
Precautions Assured
The Asian african n bloc
charged the French project
would turn the Sahara into a
no mans land and endanger
thousands of lives. France has
assured every precaution will
be taken to safeguard the area
around the test site and COM
pared them to similar United
States tests in New Mexico.
France abStained last night
as the political committee ap-
proved, 1910, an appeal to the
United States, Britain and the
Soviet Union to continue their
voluntary ban on tests while
negotiations for a permanent
ban are under way in Geneva.
Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge told the committee the
United States would go along
with the truce to help the
Geneva talks. But he declared
that the United States wants
suspension of tests under effec-
tive international control and
cannot be expected to continue
the present unpoliced ban in
definitely.
1--WE don't think an indefinite
continuation of a voluntary test
ban without effective interna-
tional control will contribute
to his objective" he told the
committee.

next June 80. If the committee
failed to agree, or if the union
or the companies rejected its
recommendations, a three-man
panel of arbitrators would set
tie the issue by September 80.
The companies demand a
freer hand to change local work
rules-governing such matters
as crew sizes and rest periods
to cut costs. The union
charges the companies want to
eliminate jobs and force a work
speedup.
Management had proposed
immediate arbitration on work
rules.
R. Conrad Cooper, chief man.
agement negotiator, called the
new proposal "a fair offer to dc
what can be done and still keep
within non-inflationary bounds
in the cost of steel production. p"
Union Demands
The union wants all the COM
panies to settle on the basis
of last months agreement with
the Kaiser Steel Corp. Kaiser
estimates its contract will cost
up to 22.5 cents an hour, in
cluding possible cost-of living
allowances, in a 20-month pc
riod. The other companies
estimate the Kaiser package
would cost them about 80 cents.
KaiSers' contract calls for
study of work rules, but rec
concentrations by the Study
Committee would not be bind
ing. Arbitration, as proposed
by the companies. would bind
both parties.
Union President David j.
Mcdonald, explaining his re-
lection of the new offer, said
the companies have offered
the same old package, re-
arranged a little bit in form,
but still in substance worth
only about "a cents for three
years"
He dismissed the industry
proposal on work rules as "the
same old attempt to deprive
Steelworkers of hard-won gains
and projections"

The way to fight it, Mr.

committee meets early next
year.
A key paragraph of the ap-
proved United States-Soviet
proposal expressed hope that
measures leading toward the
goal of general and complete
disarmament under effective
international control will be
worked out in detail and agreed
upon in the shortest possible
time"
Today's action came as the
1859 Assembly neared the end
of its long debate on diSarm-
ament and related items. such
as the proposed ban on nuclear
test explosions.
The most controversial reso-
luton awaiting action was an
Asian-African proposal calling
on France to cancel its sched-
uled atomic test in the Sahara
Desert.

time, there was speculation
that the vote would fall SINH

France would exc out a tech
nical victory.
But last night the Political
Committee, by a COL vote. ap-
proved a separate appeal to all
nations to refrain from nuclear

Reuther Critic
Put on Leave,
Work Shifted

DETROIT, Nov. 20 CAP).-
Richard T. Gosser, an interna-
tional vice president of the
United Auto Workers Union,
has been ordered by the union
to take a six-month leave. The
JAW said it was for reasons of
health.
Mr.. Gosser has differed with
JAW President Walter P. Reu-
ther frequently in recent years
and the unions international
executive board took from Mr..
GosSer's control the unions or
ganizing arm, the competitive
shops department, on Novem-
ber IL.
The UAW said the leave and
the competitive shop shift were
separate and distinct, without
any connection whatsoever"
Emil Macy, UAW secretary
treasurer, said the shift in or
ganizing operations represented
"a change of policy decided
upon by the international ex-
ecutive board"
Program Decentralized
He said the program is be-
ing decentralized, with organiz-
ing put under regional directors
over the country.
Mr.. GoSSer, who is So and
lives in Toledo, Ohio. controlled
nine national shop departments
and the skilled trades depart
ment, but much of his intra-
union political strength was
centered in the competitive
shops department, which has
a staff of 10.
Mr.. Macy declared that any
story to the effect that Mr.
Gosser is being eased out Of the
union hierarchy "is false"
We've convinced him (Gos-
ser) that he ought to take q
rest for his health, and while
he's gone some of us will tenn
porarily perform some of his
assignments. There has cer-
tainly been no criticism of the
competitive shops department
under Dick GosSer."
Skepticism Indicated
Mr.. Gosser was reported by
the Detroit Free Press to have
indicated he didn't think a rest
was necessary, but was quoted
as adding: IF the guy you work
for tells you to take six months
of. what do you do?"

Steel peace efforts we're at a
standstill again today after the
unions rejection of manage
ment'S latest offer. All signs
indicated that bargaining to
settle the strike will not resume
for about 10 days.
Joseph F. Finnegan, director
of the Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service, plans to
confer next week with the
board of inquiry appointed by
President Eisenhower to study
the steel strike. The board ex-
poets to work with Mr.. Finne-
gan when mediation resumes.
Call Seen After Holiday
The mediators probably will
walt until after the Thanks

Steelworkers and company ne
gotiators together again. In
formal contacts between the
mediators and the parties to
the dispute may continue in. the
meantime, however.
There's no particular hurry"
about calling regular bargain
ing sessions, a Federal mediator
said, adding that Its probably
best to let them settle down
after this furry"
Management's new compro-
mise offer, made Sunday, and
the unions prompt rejection
the same day were disclosed
yesterday. Union and company
negotiators handled the offer
and rejection themselves-with-
out Government intervention
at secret meetings in New York.
Spokesman for both sides said
they had no plans for more
meetings until the Government
calls them.
Differ Over Offer
Steel management'S new pro-
poSal included concessions on
fringe benefits and local work
rules, but yielded no additional
ground on wages. The compa-
MES estimated the package of
wages and fringe benefits would
cost 80 cents per man-hour
during a three-year contract,
exclusive of possible cost-of-
living payments. The union said
the offer was worth only about
"a cents.
Calculated on either basis,
the offer was only a fraction of
a cent more than the industry's S
proposal of last month, which
the union rejected.
SteelworkerS returned to their
Jobs under a Taft-Hartley Act
injunction November Z, the
116th day of the strike. They
will be free to strike again when
the 80-day Injunction expires
January 26, unless settlement
is achieved before then.
Details of Offer
The companies offered to
increase pensions and to pay
the full cost of life and sickness
and accident insurance. They
had insisted on employees con-
tinuing to pay half the cost of
insurance. Employees still would
share costs of disqualification
and surgical insurance under
the new proposal.
improvements in insurance.
pensions and supplementary
unemployment benefits would
be paid during the first year
OF the proposed contract and
the companies would increase
wages by 6 to IL cents per hour
in the second year and again
in the third year.
The wage offer, unchanged
from last month, compares with
union demands for 7 to 13 cents
per hour.
Management offered to in
crease maximum coSt-of-living
allowances during the three
year contract from 3 to 8 cents
per hour.

Fruit cake making time Is

recipes today, buy the in

cakes.
It's a lot easier to make
these fruit-heavy cakes in
this day and age than it was
in grandma's time. Electric
mixers help with the job of
creaming butter and sugar,
beating the eggs. Fruits and
peels come cut-up ready to
toss in the batter, nuts come
shelled, and new this fall are
chopped packaged dates.
Our first recipe uses honey
and makes a cake that is diff
ferent and good. The cake

For holiday giving, bake
these easy-to-prepare skillet
fruit cakes. They're really
miniatures baked in 6-inch
iron skillets you can find
around in houSeware depart
ments or hardware stores.
Trimmed with paper lace and
ribbon, they're a nice way to
say Merry Christmas" to
friends and neighborS.
The cake is almost a con-
fection with barely enough
batter to hold it together.
Most of the fruits are left
whole, making a lovely pat
tern when sliced.
This cake should be stored
in the refrigerator, where it
will keep well for several
months. Although the cake
slices better if allowed to
stand overnight, it's delicious
fresh and can be served with
out aging.
We're repeating the recipe
for the mystery fruit cake by
request. This is the cake that
made its debut a couple of
years ago and uses a package
of cake mix as the base. The
mix Is baked according to
package directions, cooled,
and crumbled. The crumbs
are blended with a fluffy
frosting mix, fruit and nuts.
No further baking is required
but the cake should be kept
refrigerated.
