Additions probably will be made in
later announcements.
Members of the board express the
belief that the people of the country

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR FOR IOWA
IMPOSES DRASTIC PENALTIES Il
!, ON HoARDERs AND 9TH 4
Err LAW BREAKERS.

In the neighborhood of 400 cases Of
alleged violations of the rules and, reg
ulations Of the United States food adj
nlinistration and Of the food control
act have been Investigated by agents
of United States Food Administrators
]. +. Deems Of Iowa. A force of men
has been employed by Administrator
Deems to investigate complaints
relative to violations and large num-
Der Of cases have been tried before
county food administrators and at the
headquarters Of the administration in
Burlington.
Fines In the form of voluntary CON
tributions to the Red Cross have beenl
imposed on large number of persons.
The largest contributors to the Rcd
Cross, $1,000, was made by a Dewitt,
Hour dealer who was found guilty OF
selling flour without substitutes. A
large number of persons have been.
bound over to the federal grand Jury
for boarding, and a large number Of
reprimands have been given to people
less flagrantly guilty for violating the
regulations Of the administration.
In cases of complaint against people
who are accused of boarding food or
wasting food or failure to obey the
rules and regulations Of the food adj
ministration, Administrator Deems as
signs one of the special agents from
his headquarters to Investigate the
case. evidence is secured in the form
of afidavits, and the suspected persons
are summoned to appear either at the
Burlington headquarters or before the
county food administrator Of the coun-
ty In which the offense is alleged to
have heen committed After trial judg-
ment is pronounced, and when given
the opportunity to contribute to the
Red Cross In lieu of being bound over
to the federal grand jury most often
ders make the contribution. The re-
suit Is that the Red Cross funds are
several thousand dollars better off on
account Of the enforcement work of
the food administration.
In one Iowa case nearly $4,000 was
turned over to the Red Cross by one
merchant who had been found guilty
of profiteering in eggs. This and the
$1,000 fine mentioned above are the
largest in this state.
