Help is on the way, in the form of a bill approved by a House committee June 2. Already passed by the Sen. ate, the bill sets up a new procedure for determining . the safety of color additives ,' ", In foods, drugs, and cosmetics. V ,A key provision would per ' " mit the Food and Drug Ad ministration to establish safe V;,' tolerance limits for potential . 1 ly harmful additives. ii Lack of such authority led r to the lipstick hassle. When the Supreme Court ruled , that FDA was bound by law to ban any color additive found to be harmful, in no J matter what quantity, the 1 agency moved to prohibit fur- tiler use of 14 coal-tar colors j - commonly used in lipstick. 1 .Manufacturers protest .td, and FDA agreed to sus- : pend the order pending anoth r er "review. A final decision is v'Jexpectcd shortly. If the ban is "-confirmed, an appeal to the : courts is sure to follow. , Meanwhile, however, enact- "merit of the proposed law 5 '. would give FDA the dlscre- 1 lion it now lacks to clear - colors if the amounts and con S-l jirtions of use do not lead to Ji harmful effects, That won't mean automatic " 'certification of the suspect sl)ftdes. It will still be up to the manufacturers to prove (hat they can be used safely In the required amounts. And '""that may take a long time, flf) Judging by experience with a similar law on food additives, " enacted in 1958. Administrative "Limbo" The 1058 law gave makers and users of most food addi tives until March 6, 1960 to cime up with the data re . quired for clearance. When " that deadline was reached, t however, relatively few had 1 .' done so. So Secretary of J Health, Education, and Wei- Stare Arthur S. Flemmlng granted a one-year extension 1 for some additives, to permit ! further study. But more than 1,000 others, Including a large number otL, nlunm. nnt nnlv l Intr, l anuria uivon, were icii in administrative "limbo," J neither cleared nor speclflcal- t ly reprieved.

L Commonly called the Delaney "cancer clause", the prohibi tion was first enacted in the 1958 food additives law.

I ,.veri has steadfnsy support ed the Deaney clause, in the proposed color additives law as well as the 1D58 law. The clause, he told the House Committee May 9 "is ground ed on the scientific fact of life that no one, at this time, can tell us how to establish for man a safe tolerance for a cancer-producing agent." Pending a breakthrough in cencer research, he said, "there simply Is no scientific basis on which judgment or discretion could be exercised in tolerating a small amount of known carcinogenic color or food additive." Flemming's position Is rx- pected to prevail in the Sen- ate, when the color nuoitncs bill reaches conference. But the Delaney clause promises to stir up many more contro versies before scientists come up with the missing informa tion. The lipstick imbroglio (which has nothing to do with cancer or the Delaney clause) should be settled long before that. (Copyright 1960. Congressional Quarterly Inc.)

The zori, heel-less like a western-style bedroom scuff, When you work in the yard and garden, don this pretty and practical cover-up for your pedal pushers and you'll be able to work in comfort.

Test AdVISed For Potatoes Corvallis - You can't loll I cooking qualities of a potato hvlfi alrln Tho Who lion In whether it sinks or swims, A new Oregon State col - - lege agricultural experiment station bulletin, "Science in Cooking Potatoes," explains that although certain varieties of potatoes look alike from the outside they differ In cooking performance. Andrea Mackey, OSC home economist, has devised a simple salt water test to help horn emakcrs determine whether potatoes are bakers or boilers. If the potato floats in the salty wnter, it s a boil er. If it sinks, it's a baker. She says a good baker should be lie.ht and fluffy wnen cooKca. Hollers are usually more waxy and hold their shape when buttered and served whole or sliced into salads. Potatoes are the most popu lar vegetable on U.S. dinner tables today, report OSC food marketing specialists. Last year on the average, each person ate 106 pounds of po tatoes; 75 pounds of these were fresh and nearly 31 pounds were processed. Instructions for making the Drine test to distinguish bak ers irom Doners and some recipes for serving them are included in the circular. Copies ore available at county extension offices or from the OSC bulletin clerk. Expert Suggests Family Research Ithaca, N.Y. - (UPD - "We know more about how to launch a successful satellite tnon a successful marriacc. says Prof. Harold Feldman, of the New York State College oi Home Economics. "If something goes wrong with a satellite," he said, "tre mendous resources are used to underUnnd the problem. Imagine the kind of new world that might open to tis If we were to channel the same amount of energy to ward understanding the fam ily." Prof. Fcldinan maintained that humans still are living in the dark ages when It comes to understanding the family. "There is little knowledge about problem areas - divorce and mental illness," he said.

Believes in Traditions "The world gets smaller and smaller," said the tiny Japa nese woman in her 60s. "A fashion soon becomes univer sal." She believes in this cultural exchange - that West has much to offer East in function al fashions, and that in turn, East has much to offer West in styling and beauty of fab rics. But she also wants her coun try to maintain some of its traditions. That is why she steadily campaigns to pre serve the kimono, which has been a part of Asian dress for more than 15 centuries. "It is such a beautiful garment," she said, "perfect for the dainty figure . . . perfect with our complexions." Two-Piece Kimono She also knows that many Japanese women have gone to work in offices and shops since World War II and no longer want to take the time to tie an elaborate obi sash. For them, she has developed a two - piece kimono, with a wrap around skirt and top, and a ready-tied obi which works on the same principle as the snap-on bow tie. Mrs. Olsuka's desire to pre serve the kimono has led her to write three books about it and to establish in 1954 a ki mono school where today 30 teachers train some 1,000 stu dents in sewing, pattern-mak ing, cutting, weaving, dyeing, sketching and designing. The designer also is lasnion consultant to the Takashi maya Department store, To kyo, and the Tokyo Rayon company. Her visit to New York was part of a 30-day trip to the United Stoles and Europe "to introduce some of my works and also take back lome of your ideas."

DELIVERY Foot Care txpert Gives Advice On Storage of Shoes Chicago -(UPD- Shoes should be stored with care to pre serve them. Here are some tips from a foot care authority, Dr. Wil liam M. Scholl: -replace broken, frayed or knotted laces, worn-down lifts and thin soles before storing winter shoes. -line the toes with tissue paper instead of shoe trees, Women's shoes are more deli cately made than men's, and shoe trees, left In them for two seasons, may stretch them out of shape. -store shoes in boxes in stead of in shoe bags. Only boxes can keep shoes free of the dust, dirt and light which tend to fade them. -don't store dyed-to-match shoes or shoes of a delicate fabric in plastic bags unless perforated. The moisture in airtight bags can fade the shoes. Wrap the shoes in white tissue paper and box them. -a thorough cleaning be fore storage will help pre serve the finish of all shoes, -to keep shoes from de veloping a leather odor in storage, spray them with a shoe deodorizer.
