Not All Accepted.
1t is stated not all the presidential
suggestions will be accepted if the
wishes of the committee are complied
with. Discussion today made it plain
there was no objection to eliminating
the court review provisions as suggest
ed by the president, and also that his
wishes that the civil service commits
sion furnish inspectors will be COM
piled with.
Would Not Use Date.

date of manufacture on the label and
TO inserting the words 'in the judg-
ment of the secretary of agriculture"
thus making the secretary final author
ity regarding the measure. There was
some criticism as to the method to be
employer in handling the measure, as
none of the republican members who
presented the minority views nor any
of the democratic members of the COM
mittee are to have anything TO do with
redrafting the substitute.
