HARR1sONBURG, Va, August n.
Judge John Paul Of the United
States District Court. Western Vir-
ginia, today entered orders vacating
temporary injunctions granted "a -four
mills and provision companies against
payment OF the windfall tax on process
sing taxes returned when the Supreme
Court held the A. A. A. unconstitu-
tional
The injunctions were brought
against N. B. Early. jr.. collector OF
internal revenue at Richmond.
Judge Paul granted temporary stay
ing orders and then heard the Gov
ernment's plea on July II, when it
averred that maintenance of this
suit was forbidden by section 1924
OF the revised statutes OF the United
States, that the bill Of complaint
failed to allege facts sufncient to
entitle the complainants to injunction
or to equitable relief prayed for, and
that the complainants have 4 COM
plete and adequate remedy at law
AS authority the Government cited
the decision Of White Packing Co. vs..
Robertson, collector. by the Fourth
Circuit Court of Appeals
The windfal: taxes will amount to
approximately s213,4s765, represent
ing 80 per cent Of the processing
taxes impounded and not passed on
to the ultimate consumer.
The mills in presenting their claims
declared they did not have proper re-
course at law and were entitled to
recover A. A. A. processing taxes after
the high tribunal had held them H.
legal
Judge Paul also dismissed the suit
of the Shenandoah Milling Co. Of
Shenandoah to recover 1856, $50 90
paid in processing taxes before the
injunction was granted against A. A.
A. levies. The court held it has no
jurisdiction. The Shenandoah Mills,
which were recently moved to Norfolk,
are among the largest in the State.

DRIVERS TESTED

"Patient" Blows Breath

BY WILLIAM MADIGAN.
Associated Press Stan Writer.

INDIANAPOLIS, August AL
though was as sober a. q meeting
house, and DR.. Rolla NJ. Harger's
'"Drunkometer" provided the amen.
The rotund Dr. Harger, 1ndiana's
unofhcial toxicologist, has pioneered
In determining alcoholic content in
a drunkard's brain or, for that mat
ter. his liver. Skepticism about his
three-pound device of test tubes and
beakers. which might be called q
"breathometer," he takes with a grain
Of salt.
But he accommodates the inquisi-
tive, intoxicated or sober, with 4
trial of it.
He evinced the usual amount of
professional sympathy over the ulcer
GUS condition OF his subject-to-be's
stomach, but was firm in doubling
the advisability of adding even a jig-
ger OF whisky to the inner flame.
Then into DR.. Harger's Office in the
Indiana University Medical Center
Walked-well. Well call him Joe
Blowe. Affably admitting he had
been drinking beer all night" Joe in
sisted that he get the works."
Device Size Of Camera.
Deity the doctor opened q case
the size Of an overnight bag. From
1t he brought the device, a little
larger than motion picture camera.
He explained the subject blows his
ofeath into a balloon. Then the
sample is passed through a pink
f1uid via a rubber tube. II alcohol is
present. DR.. Harger said, the fluid
loses its hue. turning a light brown.
This means" he said as I blew,
a given weight Of alcohol is absorbed
by the fluid. The more intoxicated
the subject H. the less will be the
amount OF breath containing this
weight OF alcohol"
My balloon breath didn't change the
color of the fluid.
Then Joe tried 1t. He was having
trouble holding the neck Of the bal
loon in his mouth. Dryly DR.. Harper
said;
We consider that as evidence that
a subject is drunk"
Joe's test turned brown, but he still
wasn't convinced Like a poplar tree
in gale he weaved, but his skepticism
remained.
Momentarily at a loss, DR.. Harger
finally suggested:
Let's have a forum"
Joe slithered into a chair. The
doctor thumbed case records of 900
subjects, both human and animals.
What amount Of alcohol in the
human body makes a person unsafe
to drive an automobile?" We asked.
The doctors answer:
"A committee OF the American
Medical Association reported at At
lantic City recently. since 1t Is I'm.
possible to diagnose drunkenness

blood tests long time and have
obtained satisfactory results"
9. Did you first propose the breath
tests?
A. No. DR.. Emil Bogen OF Io,
Angeles carried off that honor. But
we nave been working out here about
nve years. The State police have II
drunkometers now and the Indiana
University Foundation has been as.
signed the patent on the apparatus.
The commercial manufacture of it
will begin soon.
DR.. Harger explained that the
drunkometer, instead OF measuring
directly the breath volume, determines
the amount of carbon dioxide in the
sample Of breath passed through the
machine by capturing this carbon
dloxide in a chemical absorbent con.
tanned IN a weighed tube"
The weight increase Of the tube ("
he went on, shows how much carbon
dioxide was caught. Since 'alveolar
air" (true breath always contain.
close to 5lz per cent of carbon diox-
ide, we can determine how much
true breath passed through the ap.
paratus. AS a result, more accurate
figures are obtained since the first
air leaving the body Is not all alveoiar
air"
Joe jumped convulsively.
Say. will one of you guys drive my
car back to town." he asked.

from the symptoms alone, 1t Is i'm
portant that the chemical observa-
ton Of the blood, urine. saliva or
breath be used to confirm obvious In
toxication.'
What Constitutes Drunkenness.
The National Safety Council Com
mittee on the drunken driver has
agreed that OBS per cent az parts
per thousAnd) or more Of alcohol by
weight In body fluid Is associated with
mental or physical inferiority and
that this figure therefore is valuable
in legal cases.
We are recommending to the In
diana State police that persons i1av-
ing one and one-half parts per thou
sand or more are certainly too much
under the influence Of alcohol to op-
crate an automobile. Careful tests
show that even as low Is one-half
part per thousand will affect some in
d1viduals' driving ability"
Q. Is alcohol given of by breath
directly proportional to alcohol In the
blood?
A. Yes. Tests show the concen-
tration Of alcohol per cubic inch or
ounce Of blood is very close to 1000
times as high as the alcoholic con-
centration in the same value Of
breath.
Q. Is alcohol stored in the blood
at the same rate as in the brain?
A. Yes. The storage throughout the
body Is at almost exactly the same
rate. The muscles store alcohol a
little more slowly than other parts
OF the body for about the first hour,
after which muscle may be used to
predict brain alcohol.
Q. Does that mean a man loses the
power to think clearly before he
staggers?
A. No. The movement in the muscle
is controlled by the brain and higher
nerve centers. 1t isn't alcohol in his
muscles which makes a man stagger,
but the alcohol in the brain.
@. Can you predict from the chemi-
cal analysis the degree of drunken
ness?
A. Yes. close enough for practical
purposes The drunkometer protects
the teetotaler and also the moderate
drlnker. The recent drunken driving
trial here (in which two persons were
convicted on drunkometer evidence)
brought out the fact the test will not
incriminate innocent persons and will
tell the alcohol level in the brain.
Spinal Fluid Claims.
Q. What about the assertion OF DR..
A. O. Gettler, New York City's toxi-
cologist. that only spinal fluid is suit
able for performing chemical analyses
for intoxication?
A. DR.. E. R. Lamb, DR.. H. R. HUI
pieu, who also helped with Develop
ment OF the drunkometer, and myself
have prepared an article for publica-
ton in the September issue Of the
Journal OF Biological Chemistry. in
which We report findings showing that
brain alcohol may at all times be pre-
dicted with ample accuracy from the
blood.
DR.. Harger continued:
We ran simultaneous tests Of spinal
fluid and blood upon 50 consecutive
human beings and they showed the
two run exactly parallel in their alco-
holic contents. Alcohol Is stored all
over the body almost precisely in pro-
portion to the water content OF that
part Of the body.

Medical Committee studying motor We
hicle accidents Is wrong. Swedish
