General Goes Unanswered f"dZy FDA.iencM!For 'Security' FDA are good but that "the size and scope of the program are in adequate, owing primarily to budgetary and space limitations." Of the 118 dyes certified under the 1938 food, drug and cosmetic act for various use, the commit tee reported, only IS have been studied to any great extent. These are for food use. National Academy The committee, headed by Wil liam J. Darby. Vanderbilt Univer sity biochemist, was named by the National at the behest The TDK began a reappraisal of the dye situation, especially those used in foods, after a num ber of children in Kansas City became ill in 1950 after eating col ored Halloween candy. Further Impetus was given the study when some 200 children became ill aft er eating popcorn colored with the dye known as "Red 1" last Christ mas in San Francisco. While the FDA has been con centrating on coal tar derivatives, the committee said study also should be given to the use of na tural dyes since it is upon their chemical structure that the syn thetics are based. Among the 15 coal tar deriva tives certified for food use which have been stuched, the commit tee said it had been found that "several are distinctly toxic (poi sonous) when fedyto rats at lev els as low as one quarter of one per cent of a standard diet," "On the basis of available in formation only five dyes have not manifested some deleterious ef fects on experimental animals," It said. Important Oboervatloa The committee added: "The demonstration that labor atory animals may develop can cer after being exposed to the action of some dyes is an im portant observation and should not be ignored in evaluating the safety of the dye for human use." Some dyes when painted on the skin produce cancer, but have no apparent effect when taken In ternally. Some which produce can cer when swallowed appear harm less when painted on the skin. "These dilferent responses." said the committee, "make it mandatory that programs of as say ... take into account all the routes of exposure o' a human to the dye." The committee also said that the practire of specifying certain dyes as harmless is unrealistic unless the amount which can be ucd is likcv i.se specified. In view of the widespread use of dyes in foods, cosmetics and drugs, the committee concludes that it could "see no alternative to strengthening of the present re search position of the FDA in the area of coal tar colors." age 62, instead of C5 as at present These were stripped from the House measure by the Senate Finance ' Committee at ' the re quest of the Eisenhower adminis tration.

Atom-Dusted Cattle Injuries Not Serious OAK RIDGE, Tenn. I Elev en years ago a herd of 47 cattle was unwittingly left within about a miles of history's first atomic test site in southern New Mexico. When the United States dropped the first nuclear bomb near white Sands National Monument, the frightened cattle were burned.

All but seven of the original 47 have died some of old age, some of disease not connected with the atom, and some sacri ficed for scientific study.

"The television industry and the respective denominations of your community have this in com mon," said Dr. Clifton E. Moore in a- televised sermon. "They both have an enemy. 'This enemy Is the preacher who. goes to a television station, buys time, and with a pattern of fear and condemnation of other religious groups makes use of the air lanes for his own monetary gains." Dr. Moore pointed out that most Catholic, Protestant and Jewish groups are given air time by ra dio and TV stations as per FCC regulation, but that the free-lance preacher often requests money or write-ins for leaflets ln order to obtain addresses for future solici tations. " . ' - These religious hucksters do untold damage to the church cause," Dr. Moore added. He is director of television for the Los Angeles Presbytery. Church people should investi gate the possibilities of TV for furthering the work of their con gregations, he suggested, and each church appoint TV chair man. .. Dr. Moore estimated that a good televised sermon in a metro politan area reaches from 250,000 to 400,000 persons. He compared this with the fact "there protv ably are not 250.000 Protestants in churches in Southern California this morning."
