charged with wave length piracy, 7"
Hoover said 1t would be almost

Local insurance legislation has

code has seriously hampered local

out for business outside Of WASH

MEATS
FAXED HERE

Fourteen thousand District Jews
are being defrauded through lack
Of regulation of the sale Of kosher
meat. Representative Samuel Dick.
stein of New York. told the ju-
dietary subcommittee of the House
District Committee today.
The committee has under con-
sideration the Dickstein bill pro-
viding for such regulation in the
District.
Representative Dickstein charged
that an exceedingly active lobby
is working against the bill.
He charged the lobby is com.
posed largely of representatives OF
dealers who are making enormous
profits by fraudulently selling
ordinary meat as a kosher product.
Owing to the stringent religious
control thrown about the produc'
ton and sale of kosher meat, the
price Is more than three times
that of ordinary meat of the same
quality, Representative Dickstein
said. q
1t is exceedingly difficult to
obtain conviction for false pre-
lenses in such cases, Representative
Dickstein told the committee.
AS the Dickstein bill would com
pei dealers who sell both kosher
meat and ordinary meat to exhibit
signs to this effect, it would pre-
vent the exchange Of one for the
other. He explained that the Pure
Food Act does not cover the matter.
After a two-year.fight in New
York State, Representative Dick
stein said, law was enacted sim
liar to that provided in his BILL
despite a lobby conducted for two
years against the bill. The con
stitionality OF that law has been
upheld by the Supreme Court, ne

Individual praise for each heroic
act was given by every speaker OF
the evening, and the valorous con-
duct of the police and fire forces
generally was typified as the high
est duty to mankind and country
that could possibly be rendered
during peace times.
Representative Clyde Kelly OF
Pennsylvania. a member OF Congress
who has long been intimately as
ISOLATED with the affairs of the
District Of Columbia, and one who
has been the friend OF Washing.
toms two public safety departments
at the Capitol, was Nhe principal
speaker of the evening.
Commissioner Frederick A. Fen.
ming pinned the medals and merit
bars upon the breasts OF the
heroes and Commissioner j. Frank.
lin Bell presided.
Representative Kelly declared that
next to the very instinct OF brav-
cry itself, the appreciation Of
bravery was one Of the finest
characteristics of mankind. He en-
phasied to the police and firemen
heroes and their fellows in the
audience that the demonstration
was public appreciation OF their
deeds, instituted and sustained an
nually through The Washington
Times.
Compliment by Bell
Commissioner Bell paid a splendid
compliment to Washington's two
fighting arms the police and fire
services, in both of which organi-
cations he has a keen personal in
terest and holds a deep personal
pride.
He described the annual custom
Of The Washington Times in seeing
that the heroes of the two depart
ments were suitably rewarded, and
publicly honored, as an invaluable
liasion service between the people
OF this city and the departments
concerned.
The effect in morale and disci.
pline of this yearly bestowal of
medals and merit bars through this
newspaper, Commissioner Bell said,
was stimulating.
Commissioner Fenning, in direct
charge of the police and fire de.
partments. was becomtngly modest
in his laudatiOn of the men who
serve the PUBIC Oh washington III
protecting their lives and property,
He declared he preferred to think
of the deeds of heroism for which
the men were being decorated as
being merely in the line of duty
and that any man in either OF the
departments who might be faced
with the same opportunities would
acQuit himself likewise.
Recipients of HonOrs
Precinct Detective Michael j.
Dowd was awarded the gold medal
for the police department and
Private William J. Schmitz received
