STATE HEALTH
BOARD DROPS
BLEND PROBE
PoWerIeSs to Act Unless
Pure Food Law Is
Violated.
COURT DECISION CITED
High U. S. JuriStS Ruled Use
of Alcohol and Water
LEGAL.

Indiana state health department
can do nothing about the quality
of whisky as long as it does not
contain poison or ingredients in act
ual conflict with provisions of the
pure food and drug law.
This conclusion was announced
today by DR.. Verne K. Harvey, state
health director, after conference
on the subject with Frank j..
Koehne, director of the state food
and drug laboratory.
Mr.. Koehne has made a thorough
study of the problem since repeal,
DR.. Harvey said.
Their findings will be available for
the Governors commission on liquor
control
New Remedy Is Sought
A meeting OF the commission is
to be held shortly after New Years
to map a plan for dealing with both
high prices and low quality as ex-
posed by The Times, it was said.
Alex Gordon, labor member of the
commission, when informed of the
findings of the state health depart
ment, declared he believed that a
remedy may be found through rules
to be promulgated by Paul Fry,
state excise director.
cat the last meeting, the COM
missioners expressed the view that
Mr.. Fry can require all blended
whisky labels to carry the formula
under which the blend is made"
Mr.. Gordon asserted. IF it is a
little aged whisky and much alco-
hol and water, the label would re-
veal that fact and the price of good
whisky could not be obtained for
the inferior quality.
Blend Ruling Reviewed
A United States supreme court
President William Howard Taft was
chief justice, makes state health de-
partment rulings impotent in the
matter of quality of whisky, Mr..
Koehne found.
This decision practically holds
that whisky is whatever you drink
and want to Iall it SUCH" Mr..
Koehne said. 1t dealt directly with
the matter of blending and upheld
the right of diStillers to take high
ly favored whisky, long aged in the
wood, and mix it with alcohol and
water.
I'VE would be right up against
stone wall if we attempted to make
any rules contrary to the findings
of the United States supreme court"
Mr.. Koehne pointed out.
People Want WaIlOp"
After all, the era of prohibition
with its drinking Of anything that
was potable and portable has large
ly ruined the taste of the average
American whisky drinker.
They think bouquet is bunch
of flowers and never heard of the
word being used to describe the
aroma and flavor of whisky. What
they want is something with great
big wallop and that can be had with
bourbon favored alcohol and water
as well, or even better, than with
fine old WHISTLES, which really live
up to the name"
Such being the case, the state
health department has decided to
do nothing about it, DR.. Harvey de-
c1qred

LONDON, March "a OF).-The Brit

Premier Ramsay Macdonald an
nounced this action was being taken
when he was asked, during a discus
sion in Parliament Of the German sit

port that l,4oo persons were slain in
Hamburg.
London newspapers today attacked
the reported violence Of the Hitler re-

ish traders have started boycotts Of
German goods, while others hesitated
to follow suit, fearing reprisals against
Jews in Germany.

yesterday Josiah Wedgwood, a Labor
member, declared "pro-German" Eng
land has been completely converted

May I ask whether the prime min

American Government has taken in or
der to put an end to this state of
things and whether he has any con-
firmation Of story that 1,40O people
have been put to death in Hamburg

Leaders Of the more than 300, 900
Jews in Great Britain, represented on
the Board Of Jewish Deputies, will meet
in London Sunday to decide whether
to urge boycott or take some other
action in behalf Of the German Jews.
Neville Laski, Jewish lawyer, will pre-
