ests GiUen To
All Seniors

Tuberculin skin tests have been
offered to all seniors in all Of the
county high schools as a part of
the county wide health program of
the Imperial County tuberculosis
and Health association, cooperating
with the Imperial county health
department, said f. L. Hiteman of
Calipatria president Of the associa-
ton
All of the high school principals,
according to Hiteman. were in
hearty accord with the plan. DR..
Warren F.. Fox, county health Off
Ger, with his nurses, gave tests Tues
day to seniors of Imperial, Brawley
and Calipatria union high schools
Wednesday to -Calexico and Holt
vile high schools and Thursday to
Central.
Readings of all these tests we're
to be made 48 hours later and X

a positive reaction to the skin tests.
All of this work is made possible
through the local sale of the tuber-
culosis Christmas, seals and the CO.

said Hiteman. would make it pos

 The Labor leader said today when he appeared before the Senate Ju- dietary Committee that the organi- zation of which he is president never in the past nor will it now approach the problem on the basis that the Supreme Court assumed dictatorial power or its members were not of mental capacity or of necessary learning"
 But" he continued, "the Fed eration feels that the greatest se- curity for the preservation of our democratic form of government lies in being willing to accept by all as the law of the land the decisions handed down by the majority of Court composed as contemplated by the President program. It is to this end that recommendations of the Federation are directed, con- fident in the belief that through their acceptance the Supreme Court will continue as living organism.
