 MULLINS CHARGE
Man Enough To Prefer Own Charges COmnis-
 sioner Declares

Indicating that the incident is far from closed, Police Commissioner Cloe said Saturday he would shortly dis cuss with Chief Fred .McDuff the case of Motor Scout Mullins, who talked back" to the commissioner the other day during spirited discussion over the granting of clemency to a speeder. r''@
 Will you prefer charges against Mullins?" Cloe was asked.
 "I haven't made up, mind, but I'm going to talk the case over with Chief McDuff next week, ne answered.
 Cloe indignantly denied a published report that he had tried to- find some one else, to. file charges against the motor scout.
 That's something I ask no man to do for me" he asserted. I'm man enough to prefer my own charges"
 Mullins and Cloe engaged in heated tilt in the commissioners office, which finally resulted in Mullins being ordered to 'get out" The officer then told the whole story to reporters.

Enforcement Lax, Cloe Admits In Seeking
 Public Cooperation

Safety Commissioner Cloe issued a warming Saturday to motorists who are given to driving their cars with blind ing headlights or with no lights at all.
 Appealing for the cooperation of the public, Cloe said the city ordinance prohibiting these practices had been difficult to enforce because of the small number of men available for traffic duty" He expressed the hope that a determined drive against this class of law v1olators would not be- come necessary.
 Many complaints are received" the commissioner said, against autoists who fail to keep their lights dimmed or who dash through the streets with no lights burning. Both of these rrac- tices are highly dangerous and must be stopped. I feel that the vast ma jority of automobile owners will gladly cooperate with the police depd que 1t to this ned"

 now owned near Woodlawn, to. be ope- rated with the aims house as one in- stitution, and that, the Hillman be con verted into an emergency hospital en- tirely maintained by the city, was not brought up at the meeting Saturday. It is known that county officials strongly favor this project
 A stumbling block arises, however, in attempting to adopt this plan be- cause the city refuses to take over the hospital. Efforts have been made for several years to make 1t obligatory upon the city to maintain the infirmary, but they have failed consistently. At the time Ball took steps to obtain Iegislar tive sanction to the plan, thus obliging the city by law to maintain the Hill man.
 Aspersion On Community.
 City officials were too quick" Mir. Ball said. '"They got the jump on me, and the bill failed to pass.
 Birmingham is the only city of its size that I know" Mir. Ball con tinued, where a municipal hospital is not maintained. It is an dispersion on the city that the county must SUD- port and operate practically all the charity institutions here without the help of the municipality.
 The board president has figures showing that 80-85 per cent of the pa. tients of the Hillman hospital are res idents of Birmingham.
 And yet" he said, "the county il called upon to support that institution entirely"
 MT. Copeland's plan does not reduce the responsibility of the county with regard to charity causes, but tends to make more efficient the work accom-. plished by them, it was pointed out The new infirmary, under his plan, will care for poor people who need medical attention for an extended period whereas it proposes that the Hillman be merely an emergency for accident cases and the like, and to take care oi possible overflow. Under the present conditions, MT. Copeland has said, the Hillman's facilities are entirely made quate to handle the sickness of city oi Birmingham size.

OPINION SOUGHT
 ON NRULECHANCE
Armstrong Says Real Drive Is About To
 Begin Y

Almost every civic organization iii Birmingham will join this week in q request to Gov. W. W. Brandon to obtain a ruling as to the legaiity of the movement now under way 10 aholisb the commission form of government and establish a modified mayor.aldermanic system.
 The Junior Chamber of Commerce asked the governor for ruhng last week, but he has not yet acted. Other organizations will request him to call on the attorney generals department for quick opinion.
 City. Attorney W. J. Wynn has not expressed an opinion and, it is under stood, will not do so unless requested by city officials. The belief prevails gem erally that the movement is legal, un. der the provisions of the so-called Brewer. act, but the civic bodies want the matter entirely cleared up before the people vote on the proposed change.
 Hunter Armstrong, leader of the aldermanic forces, said Saturday he welcomed the move to obtain an, of- ficial ruling. He said committee of leading attorneys had already held the change to be legal in every detail; but that an expression from the, attorney general would clarify matters still fur ther and serve to end the rumors that the change may not be legal without further action by the legislature.
 Armstrong said the advocates of the change would meet early this week, name a chairman and proceed with an intensive campaign in every section of Birmingham.
 we have spent several weeks sound- ing out the sentiment" he said, "and have found it overwhelmingly for q change. The campaign, therefore, will be started in earnest without further delay"

WILL NOT FIGHT
 CITY MILK CODE
Continued from Page Five.)

whose permit was not renewed after the visit of the attorneys for the pas teurization plants, have been losing heavily every day to the enrichment of their competitors.
 "Since there have been numerous ru' mors and surmises as to just what the fight of the raw milk men was to be, we think it worth while to state definitely our plans.
 An ordinance will be presented for the purpose of stabilizing as near as possible the milk business. This ordi- nance does not effect one single section of the milk code of the city of Birming- ham, or it's amendment, insofar as the same establishes the standard of milk. It does not ask for a lowering in any respect of the requirements of milk pro- duction. It will merely ask sufficient stabilization to justify investment.
 "An attack is being planned upon Or dinance No. SS1-C. This ordinance ap- plies almost exclusively to pasteuriza- tion. It extends the time for the de- livery of pasteurized milk from twenty four hours to thirty-six hours. It changes the name of the low grade pas teurized milk from grade "B", pas tuerized to standard pastuerized'. Ii provides for the pasteurization of milk which contains one million and five million bacteria per cubic centermeter It permits the sale of milk containing 50,000 and 250,000 bacteria per cen termeter. This ordinance requires tenn perature of only 145 degrees, when the best authorities say that 240' degrees are necessary to render such milk safe The raw milk men do not think it is fair to them, if this be true, to permit the sale of such milk. They think the permission of the use of the word standard pasteurized" is a deception of the public and unfair competition.
 Ask Public Confidence
 Application will be made for per. mits in keeping with Mir. Bulmer's statement.
 There of course may be other ltiga' tion which cannot be foreseen, but all will bear upon the fight against pas teurization and monopolization. By thit it is not meant that the raw milk mer seek the destruction of all pasteuriza tion in Birmingham. They merely con tend for their rights to do business.
 We have fully and frankly taken tht public into our confidence. This is very unusual, and possibly unwise, in litiga tion. We were, however, conscious oi the public interest in this matter.
 I've resent the effort of the pas teurization plants to label all members of the raw milk mems association at ''bootleg milk men. We are not sur prised at their coining this harsh phrase We must admit that we felt consider able surprise when officials of the health department, in signed interviews adopted the approbious phrase with such generality.
 We most respectfully request that the public await the presentation of our cause. before forming any opinion.
 We shall fight a pasteurization mo- nopoly to the last ditch. We hope the health depnrtment will not take sides. '
