Saccharin sales pondered
WASHINGTON—The Food and Drug Administration, which is banning saccharin as a food additive, announced yesterday that it would allow the continued sale of saccharin pills and powders if shown proof they are effective in controlling obesity and diabetes.
Under the approach announced by FDA Commissioner Donald Kennedy, saccharin, which has caused cancer in laboratory animals, would be banned from soft drinks and other foods sometime in the United States. Such use accounts for 90 per cent of the sugar substitute consumed in the U.S.
"Our intention is to eliminate the risk of cancer from unnecessary use of sack-chair while continuing its availability for people who need it for medical purification."

He is expected to remain hospitalized about a week after the surgery.
Carter's plan would raise gas tax
COLLINSVILLE, Ill.  Ill. (AP)—Americans may have to come up with a nickel a gallon more in gasoline taxes every year for at least four years if President Carter's energy policy is approved by Congress, a federal energy executive said yesterday.
Sources at an energy conference here said the tax increase could reach a total of 50 cents a gallon more than current levels if Americans don't learn to conserve.
"It's about time we faced the facts of life," said Ivan Maple, director of marketing and industrial relations for the Federal Energy Administration. "Over 50 per cent of the American people don't believe there's an energy crisis."
Maple provided a peek at President Carter's energy proposal, which is to be delivered next month.
panies and heavy fuel users in industry could be taxed at $1 per cubic foot of gasoline or fuel oil if they don't switch to coal.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Americans won't be getting those $50 tax rebates from Uncle Sam after all, because President Carter has decided the economy is doing well enough without them, the White House said yesterday.
Taxpayers who spent their rebates in advance and economists say there may be many of them—apparently will be out of luck. But Wall Street, worried that the rebate has inflated inflation, reacted with criticism, and stock prices rose 10 points in early trading.
Carter says economy doesn't need rebates
Carter is to announce his anti-inflation program at a news conference today.
The decision to scrap the rebate was made Wednesday night and obviously caught some advisers by surprise. Both Treasury Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal and Labor Secretary Ray Marshall made comments in recent days arguing for the rebate.
Also scrapped was a proposed two per cent increase in the investment tax credit
The rebate would have put about $10 billion in the pockets of taxpayers, and the credit would have given business about $2 billion.
An average family of four with income below $10,000 could have expected $200 in benefits.
"That's not enough for a down payment on a new car," one government economist said, "but it will buy a television set, a washing machine or a new suit of clothes. The cost of these items and credit were major elements in the $31 billion, two-year economic stimulus
program that Carter proposed to Congress soon after taking office in January.
"Dimensions of Excellence"
Both Blumental and Budget Director Bert Lance led the move to convince Carter to withdraw the rebate plan, one source said.

The rebate plan was in trouble in the Senate, largely because of fears it would fuel inflation and do little to help the economy. But administration spokesman Dan Cline said he wanted to scrap the rebates was made for economic reasons, not political considerations.

Fifty or more years ago a news item told of a man who ran afoul of law in Canada. At that time Canada used a "whipping post" and a certain fellow due on that post escaped to the U.S.A. it was reported that he stated he would rather remain in this country and be tried for murder than go back home and take their medicine!

Psalms 2 and Acts 4:25
The first recorded words of the Lord Jesus Christ after his baptism by John Baptist were: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." The second recorded word is and live by 'EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD ALMIGHTY" you ought to have integrity enough to resign and get out of His Church. If in a church you do not want to eat your Communion elements, John Calvin said the one who eats and drinks unprepared "swear the wrath of God." "Beware meddling with God" The Apostate Paul tells us there is no secret about what the spirit might be saved in the Day of the Lord Jesus!

Whatever the reason, the reaction in the Senate was swift and favorable. Carter called key senators Wednesday night to inform them after the decision was made. Senate Majority Leader Obama said the decision" because "the justifications that seemed apparent for the rebate last December have less validity at this time."

Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, D-Donn., a member of the Senate Finance Committee, said, "I comment the President for being an honest citizen to recognize changing economic conditions."
Sen. Carl Curtis, R-Neb, said he was "delighted" because the rebate plan "was a gimmick for sending out about $10 billion in money we didn't have. I believe the President became aware that his plan would be beaten in the Senate."
