!. S. ADVICE TO CUT
MEAT DIET FOUGHT
Health Department Refuses
to Retract Summer Warn
ing on Packers Request.

Whether less meat should be eaten
during the Summer months was given
more than a little attention In the
executive branch of the Government
for while yesterday, with kilograms
letters and telephone calls passing back
and forth between the White House.
Agriculture Department and United
States Public Health Service.
The occasion for the furry was a
dozen protests which had been received
from livestock dealers and packing
houses against advice given by the
Health Service on June / in a list of
dos and don'ts" for hot weather.
The Health Service said:
Meat Is an active heat-producing
food as shown by the fact that natives
OF the Far North live entirely on animal
products; and therefore the amount of
meat eaten during the hot season should
be less than that eaten during the cold
er months"
Chicago and Kansas City livestock
men wired and wrote President Hoover
and Secretary Hyde that the advice not
only came at time when their industry
was in 'precarious condition" but
that they questioned the value of 1t.
All urged that steps be taken to prevent
further issuance of similar statements,
The protests were turned over to
the Health Service for answer. In
reply. it said the advice against eating
too much meat was contained in four
lines of a five-page radio broadcast,
and added:
1.-THE statement regarding the eating
Of meat is very moderate and can in
no way be considered as urging people
to abstain from the eating of meat
during the Summer months. The sug-
gestion is merely that meat, as well as
other heat-producing foods. should be
used in moderation during hct weather !"
The Health Service said 1t had made
this suggestion each Summer for years
and that 1t had 10 intention Of re-
tracing it.
Secretary Hyde requested a copy of
the broadcast and then replied to those
who had urged him to 'countetact" the
statement.

RACKETEER|NGH HELD
DEMOCRACY PERIL
Deets Pickett Sees Return of
Pioneer vigiIantes Against
Gangsters.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
: BALTIMORE, June 6.-Urging war
on racketeering, Deets Pickett, research
secretary of the Methodist Board of
Temperance, Prohibition and Public
Morals, today declared democracy is
at stake ip America.
The prohibition leader told the lay
mems Association of the Baltimore
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church that unless the law is success
fully enforced the people of the United
States will resort to violence Ito crush
activities Of privileged gangsters and
extCrtionerS."
THE Vigilantes Of the West did IT,
he said. For five years the Texas
Rangers were the law in Texas, and
they shot down thousands of criminals
in order to free that State from pro-
tessional gamblers and gunner. What
happened in the West will happen in
the East unless business men and pro-
fessional men of Standing and patriot
ism read the riot act TO their officials,
who call infidelity to their caths OF
office by the name of liberalism"
Pickett said law-abiding Chicago
citizens could not engage In certain
trades without paying tribute to gang
sters. and added that recent Washing
ton killings were described as having
''gangster aspects"
THE politician who talks Of his
liberalism, who inveighs against the
prohibition law, who winkj at gambling
is defending a system which endangers
the personal safety of your daughter,
which may cost you your life, which
may at least mean the ruin Of your
business" Pickett said. I'VE need men
in Office who are willing to take the
oath Of Office with sincerity, men with
backbone to make that oath mean law
in action. and jurymen who realize that
organized gambling Is not q joke but
a menace"

ander Pantages' victory in an appeal to
the State Supreme Court, from a con-
viction Of criminal assault on q girl in

Pantages was intimate with her at a
hotel party, gave her $40 and told her
she was too young to be here" Then

about her character.
This case is analogous to the one
in Los Angeles in which Pantages was
charged with attacking Eunice Pringle,"

obtained reversal in the Pringle case
on the grounds he should have been
permitted to inquire into Miss Pringle's
past life. Pantages Is to be tried again
on that charge.
The court here ruled the defense
could establish the Nitto girls general
mode of living and Giesler drew from
her the statement she had worked only
four weeks since going to Los Angeles
from New York last year. She also
admitted she had made an affidavit
last year saying she was then % years
old. to obtain employment as a taxi
dancer" She said, however, she was
only II.
Miss Nitto, who will again be on the
stand when the hearing is resumed
Monday, tainted as a recess was called
She said on the promise she would
be paid SIS she left Hollywood in
car october 80, with Olive Clark Day
and William Jobelmann, co-defendants
and alleged operators of the girl mar
ket," and Helen Livingston, another
girl.
The Day woman told her, she was
to meet Pantages, who was to be known
as ALEC Brown" and was to say she
was San Diego girl, las he didn't like
Hollywood girls She said Miss Living
ston was to be the companion Of Jesse
H. Shreve. wealthy real estate opera
tor and fourth defendant. Then she
told in detail Of her meeting with Pam
tags.
Under cross examination, Miss Nitto
said investigators had told her she
would not be prosecuted as a delin-
quent If she testified against the de-
PENDANT and would be sent back to
New York by the Los Angeles district

Mailing Lists Corrected.

A condition that adds to the service
burden of the Post Office Department is
the present tendency of the people to
change their Office as well as their resi-
dences more frequently than before.
The New York Post ONCE receives and
registers $500 removal notices daily.
One result of this is that mailing lists
quickly become obsolete and the postal
directory service must supply new ad-
dresses for cid on letters originating
from these lists,
