Following is a statement by commisioner of Federal Food and Drug Administration: "Behind innocent-looking trade names hide substances likely to be dangerous when used in canned foods formaldehyde, for example salicylic acid, boric acid and its compounds. While some may not be harmful in one small dose, if taken frequently, as they would be jn canned foods served meal after meal, they might have a most injurious cumulative effect.

Some people are more susceptible to a particular chemical than others and may become ill on even one small dose. Some powders are compounds that lessen food values such as the bisulfites that destroy vitamin B-l. Nothing will take the place of heat properly applied in right canning methods. For safety, hold to canning rules based on scientific research. Process in a boiling-water bath fruits and tomatoes in a steam pressure canner all other vegetables, meat, and poultry.

And don't use canning powders." Ashanti blew up one Nazi ship. Another enemy vessel turned tail for the coast, and the Canadian destroyers Haida and Huron ran this one down, beaching it in flames on the Isle of Bas. The other two German craft fled westward with four Allied craft in pursuit. They escaped after being hit several times.

H. Talbert said today that state machinery for handling the price ceiling regulation on used passenger cars, announced today from Washington, "will be set up immediately." The OPA has been working on the regulation, effective July 10, "for some time to avoid unnecessary hardship on dealers who might have a considerable number of used cars on hand," Talbert said. Those "whose incomes are fixed xxx cannot afford to pay some of the high prices which have been called to our attention in South Carolina and which appar ently exist all over the nation," he said, and "the automobile of the average American is a necessary part of his daily life." He said he hoped the regula tions would "not cause undue hard ship to the many reputable automobile dealers who xxx depend on sales of used cars." Offers To Wash Soldiers Shirts Memphis, June 11.

Said one: "I don't make a business of washing for the public but when anybody goes overseas to fight for me, I'm glad to wash their shirts for them. Tell that soldier I'll help him out."

Eight British, Canadian and Polish lestroyers intercepted four German destroyers apparently bent on a sneak smash at the Allied Nor mandy coast line before dawn yes terday, blowing up one of them, chasing another aground in flames and scoring hits on the other two which escaped, a communique announced early today.

The grounded enemy vessel was believed to have been finished off later by a bombing attack. This point-blank engagement which cost the Allies damage and a few casualties on only one ship, the British destroyer Tartar was the most dramatic of three surface actions announced, and was fought off the tip of Brittany near Ushant (Ouessant) Island. In addition, Allied naval units continued their battering of the invasion coast, plastering 46 shore targets during the 24 hours ending at 8 a. m. yesterday.

Spotted by a patrol plane before midnight Thursday the quartet of German destroyers was intercepted by the British destroyers Tartar, Ashanti, Eskimo, and Javelin, the Canadian destroyers Haida and Hu ron, and the Polish destroyers Blys- kawica and Piorun. The Germans, apparently coming up from the bay of Biscay around the tip of Brittany, joined battle on parallel northward courses, loosing a torpedo barrage which the Allied craft dodged. The Tartar, "pased through the enemy's line" and at) a point blank range scored repeated hits on the Nazi leader. Soon there was a gen era melee a torpedo fired by the Flier Killed.

For the remainder of the month of June only, ceiling prices for early 1944 potatoes sold in South Carolina are increafed 20 cents per hundred pounds, E. H. Talbert, district director of the Office of Price Administration at Columbia, has announced. At the same time, and for June only, the minimum diameter of potatoes qualifying for the ceiling on U. S.

No. 1 grade, is reduced from 1 7-8 to 1 1-2 inches. ihe 20 cents per hundred pounds increase in prices applies to sales made by growers and country shippers, and may be passed along to the retail purchas er. It may mean an increase of approximately 1-4 cent per pound, Mr. Talbert said.

Both of the changes were made so that growers may, to some extent, recoup losses suffered by the early 144 potato crop because of harsh weather conditions. Allotments of sugar to indus-ial users for the third quarter beginning July 1 will be determ- ned on the same percentages of base period use as those used during the current quarter, it has been announced.

Makers of drug and pharmaceu- cal products will continue to re ceive 125 per cent of the amount they used during the base period. The 80 per cent figure applies to such users as makers of bread and bakery products, condensed milk in containers of one gallon or less, soft mayonnaise and salad dressing, candy, cocoa, chewing gum, canned and bottled foods, and users of sugar in experimental, educational, demon-, stration and testing work.
