Another federal Judge Thompson Of Philadelphia.
has ruled that the food control section Of the Lever act
is unconstitutional Maybe it is. The whole body OF
war law was thrown together in decidedly hurried
manner and it must be full of minor defects and ncon-

worked much better from the pubcs standpoint than
the food dealers are able to work when left to their
resources.
