Sparkman Warns New Housing Legislation At Risk
Sparkman and Johnston warned that broadening civil rights housing rules could imperil new home building legislation. Government officials said the administration would use executive power cautiously to push Truman's civil rights program while avoiding actions needing Congress approval. Feb. 15 marks the start of enforced covenants policy by FHA and VA, with unwritten covenants and pre Feb.14 loans unaffected.

The Morgan County jury hears defense attorney Lynne challenge the state's evidence in the Lang Haynie murder trial. He cites a lack of direct witness testimony linking footprints, questions Riley Haynie's alibi, and asserts only one man and God know who killed Mrs. Haynie.

Vitamin A and its widespread presence in common foods
Vitamin A is essential for health and is found in milk, green and yellow vegetables, cheese, butter, eggs, liver, organ meats, fat fish, and fortified margarine. Deficiency can damage body membranes, affect eyesight, and cause skin rashes, though most obtain it from multiple sources.
Vitamin A levels respond to diet in vitamin A tests
A study with twenty men and three women on a vitamin A restricted diet showed a rapid drop in blood vitamin A from about 140 units to 40. Reintroduction of 1300 units daily restored normal levels. 2500 units kept blood vitamin A normal in some. Liver stores explain low risk for healthy individuals, but liver issues can raise deficiency risk.
