WORK UNDER WAY
0NNEWFOODLAW
Agriculture Department ut
Analyses Proposals in
Copeland Measure.

Officials of the Department of Agri-
culture are quietly building anew their
case for new food and drug law
With the expectation that much
legislation will be built around the
Copeland bill, now before the Senate
Commerce Committee, the Food and
Drug Administration Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has just COM
pleted an analysis of the New York
Senator's proposal, 1t was learned to-
day. His recommendations then were
submitted to the solicitors division of
the department for further examina-
tion.
Comment Is Refused.
Meanwhile, both Secretary Wallace
and Undersecretary Tugwell have de-
cLned to comment in more than pass
ing manner upon the legislation. The
latter, who was generally credited with
being author of last years proposed
measure, is believed to have discussed
new attempts to force through such
legislation during a recent talk with
the President at the White House.
Although the Departments exact
reaction to the pending Copeland bill
Is thus kept under cover by the re-
fusal OF Wallace and Tugwell to COM
ment. it was learned that the recon-
mendations now before the solicitors
called for some strengthening Of the
measure. Unable even to bring the
bill up on the floor of the Senate last
year. the New York Democrat this
year has modified the measure in
some particulars in hope Of more IA
yorable consideration.
Departmental recommendations will
call for return Of some of these con-
cesSions.
New Law Long Desired.
The shaking loose of several mem
bers Of the so-called left wing" of
the A. A. A. and Department of Agri-
culture has had little effect upon this
particular legislative effort since some
Of the veteran officials of the Food
and Drug Administration and mem
bers of the solicitors Office who have
been active in prosecuting violations
long have been anxious for enactment
Of new law. The influence of Wal
lace and Tugwell, of course, still is
effective.
On Capitol Hill the measure is
awaiting hearings before a Subcom-
mittee of the Commerce Committee
recently appointed by Chairman
Copeland. This group consists of
Senator Clark Democrat) of Mis-
~.
of Arkansas and Senator McNary
(Republican) Of Oregon. No date has
yet been set for the hearings.

LAGRANGE, Ga, February 25.-
The cotton textile industry today con-
tributed a new idea to the field Of
vocational education IN the form of
a mill-owned school here where work.
ers may obtain the equivalent Of q
college education in textile engineer
ing.
Founded by the Galloway Mills fol-
the benefit of their 5000 employees,
the school has no matriculation fee
and the courses Of instruction range
from business Office to spindle room
sweeper.
There are 20 subjects from which
the students may learn the textile
business.
Tests Frequent.
Required hours of class work vary
from 80 hours for minor jobs to 140
hours for posts requiring skilled work.
ers. Examinations are a regular
thing, and qualifications for certif1-
cate are similar to the requirements
expected of a candidate for degree
at any institution of higher learning.
A faculty of 80, composed Of execu-
tives selected from various depart
ments of the mills, conduct night and
day classes for the convenience Of
workers employed on the day and aft
ernoon shifts.
Sees Happier Workers.
"If a man on a job is thoroughly
acquainted with his task and enjoys
his work, he is much happier and
a better employe and citizen" Fuller
E. Galloway, jr., treasurer of the mills,
said in explaining the idea behind the
school
"It is our purpose not to give a
general Slnattering Of what goes on
in cotton mill, but to give the men
and women a specific knowledge OF
every phase of a textile plant and
equip them so that when they finish
the school they will be able to hold
down any job in the mill"
Galloway said enrolment was vol
untary and that the schools 300 avail
able places have been spoken for.

MUNICH, Germany, February 25.-
Monarchism and republicanism are
dead in Germany. says Reichsfuehrer
Hitler.
Der Fuehrer so told his old Nazi
campaigners yesterday in an aggres-
sive address commemorating the If
teenth anniversary of the party's
foundation.
The speech, delivered in the huge
Munich town hall and broadcast
throughout the reich, marked a re-
turn of Hitler's old-time fighting style
of oratory and elected uproarious
cheers from his followers.
Dooms Old Systems.
"I prophesy again." he shouted,
''that none of the old systems will
return.
1--WE had no confidence in the ex-
listing regime, but in the German peo-
pie when we began our fight. Democ-
racy promised to enable majority
of outstanding achievements, but job
bers and usurers directed German
economy, charlatans and criminals
German policy.
I'VE didn't believe in Germany as
represented before the war;" Hitler
said, turning to the monarchial
system.
Bourgeois Nationals told US to cease
attacking the republic and give peace.
You monarchists suddenly expect the
third reich'S collapse and the ap-
proach of another system. But you
forget the state must grow out of its
people"
Sees Greater Progress.
Reviewing Germany's development
under Nazi leadership, the Reichsfueh-
rer exclaimed:
I'VE destroyed parliamentarianiSm
and democracy and the foundations Of
the old state. What we created in two
years only forecasts what is coming.
Here I announced program Is years
ago. We have fulfilled the mission be-
queathed us by our dead comrades
and will continue"
ITO fools who still dream Of re-
stored regime" he asserted, II say that
what once was can never be again.
You will never return to power"
OF the reich's foreign policy the
Fuehrer said:
eve are all for peace, but not at the
price of our honor. We are ready for
any kind Of cooperation, but If the
world does not understand, we are
ready at all times to stand on our own
feet"

OPENING GAME BIDS

An inquiry from a Cincinnati
card club asks when an opening
game bid should be made This
subject is an important one. Or
dinarily partner may be trusted
for three supporting tricks, when
declarer requires no assistance in
trumps. When an opening game bid
is made, usually the hand justi-
flying such a call can utilize only
specific holdings. The safe limit
which partner can be trusted to
contribute is only two supporting
tricks.
An opening game bid denies slam
hopes. 1t asks partner to supply
only two tricks to enable the de-
clarer to go game. The opening
bidder of a game seldom expects to
win more than defensive trick or
two. One of the prime objects of
the shut-out bid is to prevent op-
ponents from discovering the call
at which they may go game.
The hand shown below obligates
an opening bid of 4-Hearts. 1t
wants to shut-out black suit call.
Spades-NOne.
DiamOnds-9 8 6 3.
Hearts-A X @ 10 7 5 4 2.
Clubs-5.
Although the next hand is a two
suiter, an opening bid of 4-Spades
should be made. 1t is improbable
that the hand can go game at clubs,
unless it also can do so at the ma
jor suit call.
Spades-K @ 1076 3
Diamonds.
Hearts-None.
CIubs-A X @ j.
Never mind quick strength or
vulnerability, provided you hold
probable game-going strength. Bid
the game you nave reason to ex-
pect may be made. I dealt the
South hand shown below. Fearing
that opponents might have a red
suit game l made an opening bid OF
4-Spades, with only a single quick
trick in hand. My call was toe
high for either opponent to risk 6
bid of 5-Hearts, which would have
been a spread.

AN INLAND EMPIRE
IN THE MAKING

Imperial Valley should rejoice with
Yuma that bids will be opened by the
federal reclamation bureau there Dec 2
for first actual construction work on the
projected Yuma-Gila reclamation prof.
ect, for which S2,000,000 has been allot-
ted from Public Works Administration
funds. Excavation for canals, drain
age channels and dikes, digging and
timbering of tunnels will be included in
the first work, looking toward eventual
reclamation of thousands of acres in the
Yuma and Gila valleys.
The call for bids means that a dream
of the largest inland empire in the world
is on the way to realization. The Impe-
rial Irrigation District here is the larg-
est one of its kind in the entire world
and will be even larger when east and
west mesa lands are included under the
All American canal. Without develop
ment of the Yuma-Gila project, agricul-
tural wealth eventually would extend
from the San Diego foothills to the Ari-
iona state line without any break except
that made by the scenic sand hills
With development of the project in Ari-
zona, the greenery of rich farming lands
will entend almost to the line of hills be-
yond Yuma.
The adjoining valleys always have
had more in common than either has had
with any other area. That state bound
ry line lies between them has made lit
tie or no difference. They are alike in
population and interests. Both depend
upon the Colorado river for life. Both
develop and market identical products.
Similarity extends even to the type of
business architecture, arcaded because of
" I'll l.
stripped Yuma Valley in development is
the fault of natural difficulties in lifting
water, rather than the fault of Yuma
Valley.
Yuma pioneers have won heir battle
for development of the Yuma-Gila prof.
ect 1t means that tourists of the future
will marvel at the unbroken acres of ag-
ricultural scenery as they drive through
the two valleys. For miles on end their
view will be nothing but productive farm
lands. There will be no break at the
state line. There will be no barren acres
except those in the sand hills. and they
are a scenic asset in themselves. Oper-
ating under separate agencies, the ad-
Joining irrigation projects nevertheless
will appear to the stranger as single
unit Yumas victory is Imperial Valleys
victory in this respect.
Imperial Valley itself will add greatly
to the irrigated area when the east mesa
is brought under gravity flow OF water
from the All American canal. POSSIBLE
ity of lifting water to the west mesa by
pumping probably will be another factor
in increasing the irrigated acres. Taken
together, the two valleys will present by
far the largest irrigation region in the
world
The future of the valleys is linked in
extricably together. In offering its con-
gratulations to Yuma Valley, Imperial
Valley is congratulating itself, and we
say now, Congratulations, Yuma"
