This is a far cry from the
meaning Of shortwave to most
Americans, who regard it as
a game or hobby. For millions
Of people in inaccessible places
around the world, it remains
the main source of news and
entertainment.
If you had Travelled fast and
far enough one day last sum-
mer with portable shortwaVe
equipment, WRUL would have
brought you a bitter debate
between Latin American AM
bassadors at the Pan American
Union meeting in Washington,
a Brazilian sports roundup,
popular music in all languages
and a ride through Florida
Swamps with the new heavy
weight boxing champion, Inge-
mar Johannsen.
Hitler Offered Reward
You would have heard these
programs in Spanish, Portu-
gueSe, English and Swedish.
And you wouldn't have to
change languages - Just con-
tinents.
Mr.. Lennon was content
with his relatively small pre-
war education programming
when he became involved IN
the anti-Hitler campaign. He
rallied broadcasters from every
nation fighting Hitler into
a Boston based brotherhood
sending messages of hope, news
and instructions in % Ian
guageS to occupied countries.
Hitler was sore enough to put
a price on Mr.. Lemmon's head.
At wars end, Mr.. Lennon
took WRUL out Of uniform and,
so to speak. put it in a busi-
ness suit. WRUL started regu-
lar commercial programs to
South America in English and
Spanish. The next step was to
link stations in every country
of the hemisphere into an inter-
American radio network-pos-
sible only by short wave-pro-
viding a variety Of programs no
single station could offer alone.
50 Stations Linked
Today that network ties to-
gether 80 stations up and down
the hemisphere. Along with its
thousands of Spanish listeners.
WRUL receives notes of graft
tude-and occasional complaint
from North American busi-
ness executives, diplomats, pro-
feSsorS and their families To-
Gated in distant places.

impurities. Carbon black for
printing ink, for instance, may
not be suitable for candy. The
manufacturer can talk to FDA
about a suitable grade of car
bon black for food use.
Manufacturers may also be
able to get time past the March
6 deadline to prove the addi-
tives safe, provided no health
hazard is involved.
March 6 is the legal deadline
for food, chemical and pack
aging industries to prove to
Uncle Sam that food additiveS
now being eaten in increasing
quantities by consumers-are
safe and harmless. The. term
covers everything from vitamin
D added to milk to bleaching
agents used to whiten flour.
Manufacturers Responsible
Congress has made the man.
ufacturers responsible for prov
ing their additives safe, and
the various crises stem from
the fact that some companies
appear to be dawdling in their
efforts, FDA says.
Titanium dioxide, also used
by candy manufacturers as
well as others, and ultramarine
blue, used in food packaging
inks, are two substances about
which there is little or no
pharmaeological knowledge, ac-
cording to FDA.
The two acids present a
problem somewhat similar to
the one with carbon black and
charcoal. They can be made
from both natural fats and
other sources and are used IN
food wrapping materials to
prevent sticking.
To date, the administration
has received a total Of IS petit
tions from manufacturers
whose additives have not been
approved because of insufficient
scientific data. OF these, 10
have been officially filed and
five have been approved.
Public Caught Unawares
The public was caught un-
awares by the situation which
was brought to a head by the
cranberry crisis. Little atten-
ton was given the subject by
the consumer when the amend
ment to the Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act was passed in
September, 1858. Until that
time it was up to the admins
tration to prove that an addi-
tive was harmful before it could
be taken of the market.
The companies, who had Is
months to test additives that
they had been using for years,
maintain that the four months
remaining does not give them
sufficient time to finish the job.
FDA's reply is that the law
allows 1t to grant an additional
year If necessary.
There also has been some
speculation about an extension
Of the deadline by Congress.

flcient data Is being rushed by
many food and chemical manu-
facturers.
I'VE want to reasSure the
public as to the general safety
and nutritional value of the
American food supply, the most
wholesome and abundant in the
world" a spokesman said.
VIII List Minerals
The new announcements will
involve hstings of:
/. Trace" minerals, such as
iron and calcium, which are
naturally present in foods.
2. Packaging materials which
are generally recognized as
safe.
3. Synthetic flavorings.. Diff
fieulty here arises from the
fact that little scientific infor-
nation has been published
about many Of them. This may
be due in many instances to
competitive conside e rations,
Manufacturers are reluctant to
divulge trade secrets.
The announcements will fol-
low two previous ones.
The first of these was list
ing Of $50 natural seasonings
and fiavoripgs which included
most Of those in the house.
wife's kitchen and numerous
others which are known only
to the gourmet or commercial
food professor.
Safe Chemicals Listed
The second was a list Of 1872
chemicals which were found
safe for use in food, according
to the experts. Published Nov
ember 20, it was based on a
proposed list of 1873 offered for
consideration almost a year
ago.
Based on the views of scien-
fists, the administration con-
cluded that six materials
needed further consideration.
These included four food color
ing materials - carbon black,
charcoal, titanium dioxide and
ultramarine blue and two sub
stances originally listed under
the classification Of buffers.
acidiflers and neutralizers:
oleic and lino-oleic acid.
The administration has care
fully explained that the fact
that these six were not in
cluded does not mean their use
in food is prohibited. but that
usage should be reviewed for
safety.
Complaints From Industry
This has not quelled the hue
and cry that has come from
the confectionery industry and
others. Carbon black is used,
among other things. to color
black jelly beans which are so
popular with children at Easter
time.
FDA, however, sees no crisis
over black jelly beans such as
arose in the cranberry episode.
1t is concerned only about spe-
c:fcations that will rule out

An aggressive young man,

As the Sheriff of Bea-

know that Halloween falls on
October 31st. Yessiree, after
you've made the rounds, don

ana merTlmenI.
Get out your thinking
caps gals and guys and see
if you can surpass some of

end up with your having

Choose from nurse cry

a little fun!
Dancing to the merry mel

Of my attending dances with

when a "Zajednica" dance
was nearing; all of us
would get a new dress (or
