IMPROVEMENT seen
WITH FALSE Teeth
Use Of Two Sets After Extractions
Predicted in Final Session
of Clinic.

Extracted teeth soon will be re-
placed by two sets Of false teeth, DR..
Elmer e. Hachman of Baltimore told
the closing session Of the Ffve-State
Post-Graduate Clinic yesterday.
Demonstrating the necessity OF re-
placing teeth Immediately after re-
moval, DR.. Hachman said the first
false set would be temporary, to be
replaced by others as soon as the
condition of the gums would permit.
Such treatment, he declared, largely
prevents recession of the gums. which
leaves no ridge on which to place q
permanent set of dentures. The Bal
timorean predicted 30 per cent OF
American dentists soon would adopt
this practice.
Demonstration of dental science on
humans and models took up most OF
the closing session, The clinics were
arranged by DR.. n. 3. Hertford and
DR.. Philip Robin.
DR.. Daniel r. Lynch showed how q
complete new jawbone had been
grown on q patient and how the new
bone had been kept In shape so that
no scar or reformation marred the
face.
A method of setting fractures Of
the upper jaw by means Of rests was
shown by DR.. L. H. Tingay Of Walter
Reed Hospital, who demonstrated on
one OF his patients. The rests hold
the bone in place and permit knitting,
he said.

is approved by the Secretaries Of Agri-
culture and the Treasury are DR..
Eloise Cram, DR.. w. H. Wright, DR..
Magma Jones and John Bozicebick,
DR.. Halls most trusted assistants.
Move Long Considered.
The move has been under con-
sideration for more than a year. Its
purpose is to broaden governmental
health studies in accordance with
the Federal social security legislation
and to make for greater cooperation
between the public health doctors
studying parasites Of human beings
and the Agricultural Department doc
tors studying parasites of animals.
At present, the division Of zoology
of the National Institute of Health
has q staff Of only three, under the
acting headship of ,Mrs. Mabelle
Nolan, junior dermatologist. The
division has done little since the death
Of its chief, DR.. Charles Styles, two
years ago.
The B. A. I. division Of zoology
has IS veterinarians and biologists on
its staff.
Discovered Worm Cures.
DR.. Hall, who is president of the
International Commission Of Parish
tologists, discovered the carbon tetra-
chloride and carbon tetrachlorethe-
lene cures for hookworm. To make
sure of their efficacy, the doctor tried
the drugs on himself before he wts
willing to recommend their use to
another human being.
In research on tapeworm, the doc
tor said he tried to develop the para
site In himself, but was unsuccessful
DR.. Halls first research in his new
post, he said, will be on trichinosis,
parasite which enters the human body
when improperly cooked or porcessed
pork Is eaten. He Is interested also in
pin worms, O common children's para
site, which have defied all sanitary
barriers up to now. -
DR.. Halls interest has centered on
parasites which attack animals. and
he developed the modern thorough
method Of testing the efacacy Of para
site-ridding drugs. ~
Raisers Of sheep, cattle, horses and
dogs have benefited greatly from his
studies.
DR.. Hall, native Of Colorado,
studied veterinary medicine at George
Washington University. He entered
the Department Of Agriculture In 1907.
In 1915 he joined the Parke Davis
Drug Co. as o research parasitologist
In 1918 he Joined the Army Veterinary
Corps. and was captain at the. Base
Veterinary Hospital, Camp Lee, Va.
He re-entered the Department Of Asrt-
culture Ia 1913. II.

One subcommittee member, speak

tax schedule that apparently has won
the most favor to date would tax the
first S per cent of undistributed cor
poration earnings at IS per cent, going
up to SIS per cent on IS per cent, or
more, of such earnings.
He said this would mean no reduc-
ton in the $500. 900, 900 net yield, yet
allow corporations to build up rainy
day" funds by turning undistributed
earnings into reserves in the lower
brackets and paying no more taxes on
them than they do under existing tax

USELESS AGENCIES
|NQU|RYLAUNCHED
Byrd Committee Will Call
Five Leading Experts as
Board of Advisors.
BY J. A. OLEARY.

The Senate inquiry into proposed
reorganization of Government depart
ments was launched today. with a de-
cision by the special Byrd committee
to call In five leading experts on the
subject to act as an advisory board.
The committee also voted to pre-
pare . comprehensive QUESTIONABLE,
to be sent to all Federal agencies.
It was further indicated that some
fact finding agency would be engaged
by the committee to perform the mass
of detail work that will develop as the
survey progresses.
Byrd Named Chairman.
The first action of the committee
was to elect Senator Byrd. Democrat.
Of Virginia as chairman. The Vir-
ginian sponsored the resolution under
which the committee was appointed,
contending q substantial saving in
Government expenditures could be OBJ
tanned by reorganization of activities.
Senator Byrd said he could not dis
close the names Of the five persons the
committee has in mind as expert ad-
visers until he ascertains whether
they will serve. He indicated, how
ever, that they are already familiar
with the subject.
The QUESTIONABLE, he said, will ask
for data regarding increases in per-
sonnel during different periods, and
also will invite suggestions as to con-
solidations that might be considered,
with a view to eliminating overlap
ping of functions.
The resolution was broad In It's
terms. covering emergency agencies
created within the last few years as
well as the regular departments and
committees. The committee is di-
rected by the resolution to determine
to what extent agencies overlap or
conflict, and what changes could be
made in the interest of "simplification,
efficiency and economy"
Question Not New.
The question of reorganization is not

walls for many years the subject has
been taken up. In 1922 and 1928 a
joint congressional committee delved
into the problem.
It was again made q part OF the
economy legislation of few years ago
At that time power was delegated tc
the President to authorize transfer.
and coordination Of agencies by the
issuance OF executive orders, which
were to take effect within certain
time after their submission to Con-
gress, unless disapproved. In June
1888. some changes were made by ex-
ecutive order. The Reorganization
power in the economy act, however
was limited to two years and expired
about q year ago.
The present committee has until the
convening of the new Congress n
January to make report. In addition
to Chairman Byrd, the members ART

COMMITTEE SPLIT
Deem Threatens to Quit
After Senator Duffy Scores
"Badgering."

Complaint of Senator Duffy Of Wis
consin that he was being "bsdgered"
during his testimony before the House
Patents Committee today provoked a
brief but fiery controversy in which
Representatives Deem Of Georgia and
Church of Illinois charged that the
copyright hearings were not being con-
Quoted with dignity.
Pressed by Representative DAILY in
repeated questions on the Duffy bill,
Duffy f1ared and said he didn't 'in-
tend to sit here and be badgered by
the committee"
I'm going to retire from the COM
mittee" Representative Deem threat
ened as he complained that the wit
ness had been "lectured and argued
with" In q discourteous manner
While Chairman Sirovich sought to
restore order, Church also declared
that the committee was discourteous
to Duffy and that he was going to in
sist on dignity in the hearing.
Duffy, who had previously appeared
Tuesday, was followed this morning
by Wallace Mcclure, representing the
State Department Treaty Section, who
began his testimony yesterday.
Mcclure, who said yesterday that
the State Department is "four-square"
behind the Duffy bill, stated that he
understood the administration was be-
hind this legislation as a means Of
clearing the way for entrance into the
Berne Convention which would provide
automatic copyrights on works Of
American authors in signatory coun-
tries. In his opinion, he said. the
printing trade as well as other indus
tries would be benefited by the inter-
national treaty.
