CONTROVERSIAL BILL IS COMING
 BEFORE HOUSE
Food and Drugs Measure Going g to Receive
 Kicking Around
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, March 17.-De- spite the desire of Administration leaders in Congress to hold legisla- tion to a minimum during the present session in order to assure an early adjournment, plans are being made to bring out the highly controversial Food and Drugs bill in the House.
 Representative Rayburn of Texas, Chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, expects his committee to report the bill before adjournment and believes the House will act on it.
 For something like three years revision of the pure food and drug laws has been hanging fire in Con gress Originally credited with be- ing the "brain child" of Brain truster" Rex Tugwell, the measure has been rewritten perhaps a dozen times.
 Senator Copeland of New York who spsonsored the bill in the Sen- ate which was passed last session, admitted that although the meas ure bears his name he is nothing more than it's "stepfather"
 But stepfather should love his stepchild," says Copeland.

If reports drifting from behind the closed doors of the House h. terState and Foreign Commerce Committee are true, the Senator probably won't so much as recognize his "stepchild" when it appears on the floor of the House.
 Members of the committee, it ap- pears, have ideas if their own on the subject and are writing their own bill. Before they get through the doctors "stepchild" may emerge in such form that not only will he disclaim paternity but any rela- tion at all
 Nor will Dr. Tugwell's ideas be incorporated to any great degree in the House bill. Insiders say that

get the entire system ready to func
ton.
The recent survey of the State by
radio tcchnicians to locate the best
points for the location of the radio
stations, resulted in recommendations
that these stations be placed in Ra-
leigh, Williamson, ElizabethtoWn,
Salisbury and Asheville, or in places
in the vicinity of these towns. 1t is
expected that all of these stations will
be in telephone communication with
each other as we'll as in constant com
muncation by radio. These five sta
tons in turn will be able to stay in
continuous communication with all OF
the highway patrol cars and motor
cycles, all of which will be equipped
with receiving sets. All of these re
cciving sets will be turned in on tho
State transmitting stations only, and
so adjusted that they cannot be
changed to get any other station.
The radio control system will make
the highway patrol more effective
than ever in reducing accidents, es
pecially in arresting reckless, hit-and
run and drunken drivers, Captain
Charles D. Farmer of the patro'
pointed out. For if a drunken driver
( is reported in a particular vicinity, or
hit-and-run driver as heading in a
certain direction, a full description
can at once be broadcast to all pa
trolmen in that territory and orders
issued to the nearest ones to make a
search for the driver and arrest him,
Farmer said The radio system will
also make 1t possible to dispatch pa
