SO Are Employed in
Washington.

The Communist party has Cells" or
chapters in the civilian organization
of virtually all the country's navy
yards, according to information given
subcommittee of the House Military
Affairs Committee by Comdr. S. A.
Clement.
In the Washington Navy Yard, the
subcommittee was told, there are 36
Communists, and in the Brooklyn
yard the number is much larger.
Clement pointed out that if an
emergency arose. it is not unreason-
able to assume these Communists
would follow the partys policy OF
sabotage
Questioned as to why the Commu-
nists had not been removed, Clement
explained that they had been en-
ployed through the civil service and
could not be discharged without
cause.
The Communist party" Clement
said. lis something that you don't
know where it begins or ends. 1t is
very hard to tell. with the exception
of small group. who are running it.
In very vital spot. we will say
the Washington Navy Yard, if an
emergency comes along and We,
knowing that the Communists have
the policy of sabotage-they say so
and it must bet is not unreasonable
TO assume that they are put there
for, that purpose"
Clement recommended favorable ac-
ton on the Mccormack bill to pro-
hibit any one from urging members
of the armed forces to disobey rules.

spot, Mr.. Roosevelt said the public
works administrator might have
something to say at his next regular
press conference.
THE President pulled a fast one

that the law was for the protection
of vital industry. Attorney General
A. p. Staples yesterday asked the State
Supreme Court of Appeals to recon-
slider its decision holding the 1884
Virginia milk control act unconstitu-
tional.
The attorney general. as a member
OF the State Senate in the last session
OF the Legislature, was patron of the
measure which set up regulations for
the control of the milk industry. in
cluding prices.
The court several months ago threw
the law out as invalid, holding the
milk industry was not a business af-
fected with public interest, and
making particular objection to the
price-fixing provisions. Subsequently
the court granted yesterdays reargu-
ment OF the case after it had received
numerous petitions for a rehearing.
S. D. Timberlake, jr., of Staunton,
counsel for r. ]. Reynolds and other
milk producers of the Staunton area
argued that the act was unconstitu-
tlonal particularly in that it was in
contravention of the Virginia bill of
rights.

sponsibility for Program in
Congress Hands.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt entered today
on what he intended to be a quiet
week end to be spent for the most
part in planning one of possibly five
more messages he will send to Con-
gress.
Outwardly unconcerned over the
dilatory action on Capitol Hill on his
legislative program to date, Mr.. Roose-
welt is going ahead with more pro-
posals in the near future.
He remarked at his press conference
yesterday that he had five fields from
which to choose in writing his next
message, which probably will be sub
mitted early next week. but he smiled
away inquiries on specifying them.
There is every sign that Mr.. Roose-
welt is ready to stick it out with Con-
gress for his program if it takes all
Summer. So far he is leaving f..
responsibility for action with the
congressional leaders.

DRUG BILL HELD
ASUNNECESSARY
Counsel for Publishers Says
Trade Act and Postal
Laws Adequate.
BY the Associated Press.

Dy Ilc hSSOClebeQ fISSS.
Postal laws and the Federal Trade
Commission act are sufficient for con-
troll If properly enforced. and the en-
actment of the Copeland food and
drug bill is unnecessary. in the opin-
ion of Elisha Hanson, counsel for the
American Newspaper Publishers As
sociation, who testified yesterday be-
fore Senate commerce subcommittee
Hanson offered several amendments
to the bill, one to strike out section
which would permit Federal agents
to demand from the publisher the
names and addresses of corporations
advertising in his publications. He
said this was an unnecessary invasion
of business relationships.
The act, an outgrowth of the hotly-
contested "Tugwell bill" introduced in
the Senate a year ago but not enacted,
would give the Secretary of Agricul-
ture power to regulate the advertising
and branding of foods, drugs and cos
metics, in addition to the present
authority held under the pure food act
to suppress or seize any commodity
found injurious to health.
Hanson's assertion that the Federal
Trade Commission act gave adequate
control of advertising was supported
by E L. Davis, chairman of the COM
mission. He protested transfer OF
any authority from the commission
to the Secretary of Agriculture.
"If any commodity is impure or
dangerous to health" Davis said, "the
Bureau of Public Health of the De-
partment of Agriculture can handle
the case by suppressing its distribu-
tion.
But if the question is merely one
of eXtravagant advertising or wrong
statements about the therapeutic
value of products, then the Federal
Trade Commission can step in"
