GOTHAM BALKS
LACK Of FUEL

NEW YORK, Feb 81 G.N.S).-
AS New York today dug itself out
Of the drifts left by 36-hour bliz-
gard, a fight was launched to pre-
vent food shortage in many Of the
smaller communities and remote
homes in the surrounding coun-
ties.
The Weather Bureau predicted
fair and warmer today and to-
morrow.
Beyond the city limits, in Long
Island where 100000 persons live,
men and tractors were struggling
to break through the drifts and
open the roads so that milk,
groceries, and fuel could be
trucked to the residents.
Many wealthy families winter
ing in the hills of Westminster
were snowbound today. The new
est and largest houses use oil fuel
from tanks with only few days
capacity and tank trucks are far
behind in deliveries
Manhattan was saved from a
fuel shortage as the wind died
down and tugs were able to tow
barges to Unloading.

PUBLISHERS
New Draft Removes Features
Found Objectionable,
Senate Is Told

Publishers of the nation are
satisfied with the new Copeland
Pure Food and Drug Bill, c. c..
Parlin, Of Philadelphia, represent
ing the National Periodical Pub
fishers. declared today before the
Senate Commerce Committee.
Mr.. Parlin said the publishers
felt Objectionable features had
been stricken from the advertis-
ing sections of the former draft.
He added, though. that some pub
fishers still desired notifications.
Charles Wesley Dunn. speaking
for the Associated Grocery Manu-
facturers, objected to the bills
failure to set up an administra-
tive board of review to pass upon
departmental verdicts. He said:
"Such board is effective to
prevent an unWarranted and
therefore unjust criminal prose-
cutiOn of manufacturer, adj
vertiser, or importer"
Senator Overton CD of Louis
lana, asked Mr.. Dunn whether
the bill would give the Secretary
of Agriculture greater power in
regulation of alcoholic beverages.
Mr.. Dunn agreed, but said the
Secretary now had regulatory
power over the contents of alco-
holic beverages under the exist
ing pure food and drugs act.

With seven bodies recovered, res.

Meanwhile, railway officials

The plunge of the trains To-

RULE REQUIRES
TRANSFERO.K,

Heads of departments or agen-
cies must take the initiative, at
least to the extent Of approval,
before contacts or negotiations
may be put under way for trans
fer of an employee Of one depart
n-ent or agency to another in the
Government service, according to
an executive order by Budget Di-
rector Lewis w. Douglas.
The order reads as follows:
THE President has requested
me to inform you that it is his
desire that no contacts or negO-
tiatiOns be made by officers or
representatives of one depart
ment or agency with employees
of anOthe department or agency,
with a view to securing the SER
vices of such employees, before
approval is given for such con-
facts and negotiations by the
heads of the organizations con-
Cerned."
At the office of the Budget Di-
rector it was said that there was
no specific purpose in issuing the
order, but that it's general pur-
pose was amply indicated by its
own wording.
Apparently the order would bar
employees from seeking transfer
to other organizations without the
approval of their superiors. It
would also apparently prevent
their seeking better-paid jobs in
emergency organizations.

day paid a sorrowful farewell to
the nine Dartmouth students who

Young Sullivan himself had a

the house at 10 a. m. Sunday to
leave a newspaper on the second

and although Sullivan Smelled

alarmed. So he left the house
without making an investigation
and with no i'll effects to himself.

Then it was too late. The carbon

ADVANCE NAVAL
TALKS URGED

Secretary of State Hull favors
preliminary discussions with ia
pan and the other naval powers
in advance of the 1885 naval con-
ference, if that conference is to
be held, it was learned today.
Secretary Hull believes prelimi-
nary discussions are absolutely
necessary to prevent the 1885
naval meeting from being dead
born. His views are shared by
other State Department officials
in close touch with the naval
treaty situation.
With Japan demanding an in
crease in its naval ratio and war
clouds lowering over both the Far
East and Central Europe, it is be-
lieved the 1885 naval conference
will prove a failure unless some
measure of understanding and
willingness to cooperate is reached
in advance.

JACK DEMPSEY IS MADE VICTIM OF
 JOKING FRIENDS
They Gave Him a Baby Shower Last Night--He
 Was Befuddled

New York, July 6-U.PO PO-Jack Dempsey emerged from night club last night and hastened to- ward a taxicab as though ashamed of the three walters and the bar tender who followed him, their arms piled high with rattles, tiny pink and blue blankets and a car- load of diapers.
 What the hell is the matter?" snapped an inquisitive policeman.
 Dempsey mopped his brow with blanket.
 Babies he muttered, just ba- bies.'
 "They had a baby shower for MT Dempsey" said the bartender. "Mr Dempsey is going to have baby"
 Not me-" said the former heavy weight champion looking askance at a dangling diaper. My wife, Hannah Williams. I've already en- gagged room at Polyclinic hospital for the end of the month. Say, which is it; I mean if it's a boy do you use blue blanket and if it's girl do you use a pink blanket?'
 Blue for a boy and pink for a girl" decreed the policeman.
 The baby shower was given Dempsey by several hundreds of his friends including George Jes- sel, comedian, and Maxie Baer, heavyweight champion. Dempsey found it difficult to enter into the festive spirit.
 "Well. Jack" Jessel greeted the gloomy ex-champ. "I have been a married man one month and half myself and I know how you feel"
 "Yes," interjected Baer. Eff it's half the man you. are it'll be a good man."
 But, Max" said Jessel, sup pose it's a girl?"

Has Tax Bill Passed That Hits the Newspapers

Baton Rouge, La, July 6. (UP) The Louisiana legislature, respond ing to the lash of Senator Huey F. Long, took revenge to-day on four newspapers and political organ izatin that nave opposed the King fish.
 The house passed bill last night taxing gross advertising pro- ceeds of "periodicals of more than 10000 circulation" two per cent. There are only four, all of which oppose Senator Long and his state administration.
 "The newspaper tax is an ex- ample of what will happen to the little country papers if they don't get right" an administration spokesman said.
 The senate approved bill that would take control of the New Or leans police department out of the hands of Mayor T., Semmes Walms- ley and lodge 1t with a board com posed of civil leaders. Mayor Walmsley's political organization opposes the Long machine.
 The house also passed bill tax ing cotton futures. The New Or leans cotton exchange, one of the lagrest in the country, threatens to move from the state If the tax is esta ablished.
 Gov O. K. Allen. Long satellite, sat before the speaker during the house session and Long was on the floor directing administration forces. The Kingfish took part in the acrimonous debate.

THREE DOCTORS HAVE SUBMITTED
 TO INJECTIONS
One of the Physicians Is a Woman - Test Out
 New Vaccine

New York, July 6-(UP)-Three doctors, one a woman, have sub- mitted to injection of newly, de- veloped infantile paralysis vaccine because it's something that can't be tried out first on guinea pigs.
 Only humans and monkeys are subject to infantile paralysis. The vaccine has been tested on rhesus monkeys and appears effective.
 We wanted to try it ourselves before we asked others to take it, explained Dr Josephine Neal.
 She and her fellow-experiment- CTS, .Dr William H. Park, 70, and Dr Henry Wirt Jackson, em- phasized they were not risking their lives or becoming martyrs to science. Their chances of contract ing infantile paralysis. she said, were very, very remote
 All three physicians. laboratory doctors of the department of health, were inoculated with five cubic centimeters each of the new serum, which was developed by Dr of bacteriology at New York uni NCi SAlJs otuCu Dy DL dA h anu HE research assistants.
 The serum is intended to avoid paralysis rather than cure it. It was obtained from thes pinal cord of monkeys suffering from infan- tile paralysis. The material was ground up in solution of formalin which killed the virus but did not kill the immunizing properties of the virus, according to the physi. clans.
 In three or four weeks the blood of the three experimenters will be tested for the antibodies developed by inoculations.
 If the tests prove successful ii is hoped to develop the immuniza- tion system more practically. At present the supply of serum used to cure poliomyelitis,, the scientific name for infantile paralysis, is limited. If the new serum proves effective it will be possible to manufacture it in large quantities depending on the supply of rhesus monkeys.
