chant, members Of the Bakers Union

Counsel for both announced an ap-
peal as the case ended after being on

Unknown to Employer.
1t was brought out In the case that

effect that Dorsch was seen entering
the first address and Merchant en-
tering the second address, after the
delivery of the Dutch Baker Boy
products there, Judge Mcmahon
charged the jury that if it believed
Merchant to have been aware OF
Dorsch's intention in the first in
stance and Dorsch aware of Mer-
chants intention in the second in
stance. 1t should find both guilty of
both charges.
Claims Of Defense.

FOOD AND DRUGS
BILL IS APPROVED
Senate Committee Votes5
SO. to Report Out Con-
troll Legislation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Spurred on by a presidential mes
sage to Congress, the Senate Com
merce Committee yesterday overrode
a protesting minority and reported,
to 6, a bill drastically increasing
the Federal Government control of
food and drug distribution.
The measure. introduced by Sena-
tor Copeland, Democrat, of New York,
is a modification of the long disputed
"TugweIl bill" which a year ago
stirred bitter opposition from pub
fishers, who protested its provision
making them liable for any state
ments contained in food and drug
advertising they carried.
The President, however, thinks the
time has come to revise and strength
en- the pure food act of 1906
Practical Measure Sought.
1T is time to make practical i'm
proVementS" he said in his message.
"A measure is needed which will ex-
tend the controls formerly applicable
only to labels TO advertising also.
which will extend protection to the
trade in cosmetics, which will provide
for a cooperative method of setting
standards and for system of inSpec-
ton and enforcement to reaSSure con-
sumers grown heSitant and doubtful" :"
While the President did not spe-
cifically indorse the Copeland bill,
its author pointed out that all the
subjects the President covered were
incorporated in the measure report
ed out.
While Copeland saw in his measure
the matured findings of nearly two
years of hearings, Senator Clark,
Democrat. Of Missouri, protested re-
porting the bill without further study
and decried especially the provision
transferring supervision Of advertis-
ing from the Federal Trade Commits
sion to the Secretary of Agriculture.
Wanted Week Delay.
"The revised bill was printed one
day and we were compelled to see it
voted out the next" the Missourian
protested after an effort to stave off
the report for a week failed.
The sweeping authority proposed
for the Secretary of Agriculture in
the old bill to prescribe unlimited
regulations for advertisers and manu-
facturerS, was trimmed in the Cope
land measure by giving two boards
veto authority on the Secretary's reg
ulatory power.
One board of seven selected by the
President is to pass on food regula-
tions, and a board of five will act on
drug and cosmetic regulations.

trial managers. He would levy such
taxes that the income of any individ-

900 year.
Baruch's plan was incorporated in
the McSWain bill, which, besides CIV

putting ceiling" over prices in war
contemplated adopting many of the
devices which Baruch put into effect
during the World War to send needed
supplies first to the military forces by

NUMEROUS SAFETY
DEVICES ON PLANE
Uses Finest Life-Saving
Equipment Ever Carried
on Long Air Lane.
BY the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO. January l2.-In
case of forced landing on her pro-
jected trans-Pacific fight, Amelia Ear
hart Putnam planned to depend for
survival upon the finest life-saving
equipment ever carried on any flight
over the longest all overwater air
lane in the world.
The gasoline tanks on her red mono
plane had fast-acting dump valves to
empty quickly all remaining fuel.
turning the tanks into air-tight buoy
ancy chambers capable of keeping the
plane af1oat as long as it held together.
The tail carried an air cruiser life
raft with capsules Of compressed air
capable Of initiating it in two seconds.
Beside her hand in the cockpit Miss
Earhart had small hatchet for use
in breaking away tail surfaces for re-
lease of the craft
Mounted on the raft was brilliant
ly colored balloon with a hydrogen
capsule to initiate it. Released, the
balloon would rise to the END of a
l00-foot fishline as conspicuous sig
nal for searching craft A pistol and
flares were included for use at night.
In addition, Miss Earhart wore a
Debated life preserver" vest of double
compartment construction, almost
weightless and giving freedom of ac-
tion in the plane, but which could be
inflated with compressed air cartridges
in the water. The double compart-
ment was precaution against acci-
dental puncture, either half having
sufficient lift" to support her weight
in the water.
In case of accident. it was pointed
out. the weight of the motor would
draw the nose Of the ship under water,
so the life vest might be necessary to
help her reach the tail area, held UP
by the empty gas tanks, where the
life raft and provisions were stored.
Food supplies. highly condensed,
were supplemented by tomato juice,
the beverage she has used on all her
previous flights. She does not drink

in Congress.

few days with Secretary Hull on his
resolutions to have the Foreign Re
lations Committee hold hearings on
Japan's policy in Manchuria and on
reports of fortification Of islands in
the South Pacific, once belonging to
Germany, over which Japan now holds
mandate.
From the House side of the Capitol
came word from Representative Fish
Republican of New York, that he
would bare facts of Japanese "seizure"
of American textile markets in the
Philippines and Latin America.
The King resolution on Manchuria
provides for hearings to determine
whether japanese assistance in set
ting up the Manchoukuoan govern
ment, in Manchoukuo's establishment
of an oil monopoly and in allegedly
closing the open door" in that coun-
try. was in violation of the Kellogg
peace pact or the nine power treaty
The other resolution provides for
hearings on allegations that Japan
has or is fortifying the islands it re-
ceived under mandate from the allied
and associated powers
1t was said on Capitol hill that the
resolutions were offered without con-
sultation with the administration
