In the basement of the labora-

many hours to insure sterility.
At the start of the process of
making the vaccine a media-a
sort of meat broth-iS made and
placed in flaSks. Into this media
are introduced the live germs Of
typhoid.
After this has been done, at ap-
proXimately blood temperature,
the flasks are placed in an incu-
bator where they develop to the
fullest extent.
After "a hours here they are
sent to the harvesting room" and
removed from the media, then
mixed in saline solution.

unit they are heated, by means
of steam and electricity, until the
germs are all killed.
Maintain Strength
These bottles Of solution with
the dead germs are then placed
in refrigeratorS, and then are
removed to great steel mixing
vat, SO that the vaccine may be
at constant strength.
Now the vaccine is completed.
Next came intricate. tests to insure
its purity, and finally, after all
tests have been completed, the
bottles, each holding about two
gallons, are sent to the bottling
room, where with great care the
vaccine is bottled and ready for
shipment.
A feature of the laboratories is
a battery Of stills. For only dis.

the preparation Of vaccine triple

Setup Report Secret
The report Of former Peoples
Counsel William A. Roberts, on re-
organization Of the District Gov
ernment was brought to the com.
mittee's attention by Senator King
during a discussion of the Jacobs
report. Although yesterdays meet.
ing was executive and the details
of the discussion were not given
out for publication, the chairman
announced that Senator Capper
and himself had been appointed to
look over both reports and to sug-
geSt a course of action to be fol.
lowed by the full committee.
The committee will meet as soon
as possible next week and it Is ex.
pected that Senate hearings on the
additional revenue proposals will
be held.
Joint Session Out
A week ago when the Jacobs
report was made to Congress,
Senator King suggested that the
House and Senate committees
meet in joint session to discuss
the tax suggestion. The House
committee declined the invitation
and began independent considera.
tion Of the report.
A new member Of the commit.
tee, Senator H. Styles Bridges
(R0. New Hampshire, attending
his first meeting, complained to
Senator King that new Members
Of Congress were being victim
lied by a racket. He said that
certain persons were accostine
the new members and asking fol
aid. He said from the similarity
of writing on some of the letters
he had deduced that the same
person had approached member.
from different States, claiming
residence in each of the States.
Senator King promised him tt
report the matter to the Distric'
Commissioners and the Board o.
Public Welfare. At the conclu
sion of the meeting, Senator
Bridges told Commissioner Hazer
of the matter.

caught between two millstones. One
is the pressure for greater federal
responsibility over various matters
that are deemed too large o. too diff
cult for the states. The other is the
administrative incompetence of the
slovenly federal organization for per-
forming these duties. Things have
been done and are being done, by
brute force, and the energy is being
supplied by taxpayers. In more SIM

You and Your
Nations Affairs
End Government Chaos!
BY HARLEY l. LUTZ
Professor of Public Finance, Princeton University

First, the extension of the merit
system. Many Congressme~ and the
politicians generally will fight this
attack on the spoils system. It is, how
ever, the most important single step
that can be taken, for no significant
Improvement can be expected from
any other changes while the vicious
patronage system remains.
Second. the sharper definition of
administrative responsibility and the
provision of adequate agencies for its
effective realization. The committee
had perfectly good and highly de-
sirabie purpose in mind here. but they
jeopardized it by proposing six spe-
cial executive assistants having great
physical vigor and a passion for ano-
nymity." This is too suggestive of a
GPO or Cheka. The purpose aimed
at is the creation of an organ of gen.
e-al public administration, and it
would have been far better had the
committee advised more formal and
definite agency of this sort. The best
model is the English Treasury, but
some of the state departments of
finance are functioning passably in
this capacity.
Third, the definite responsibility Of
the executive to Congress. The COM
mittee's plan for greater executive
accountability is eonspicuously weak
ened, however, by the failure to em-
phasiZe the parallel responsibility of
Congress ii holding the executive
more strictly to account A wrong
conception Of party, loyalty, under
the patronage whip, has at times in
duced an abdicati0n oftthe legislative
function, In addition to more strict
executive responsibility we need a
conc pit IN OF the constitutional
sphere and prerogative OF Congress
that will give new vitality to repre-
sentative government.
Fourth, the clearance of the admin
iStrativc jungle. 1t was beyond the
committees task to deal with the
scope of functions and services. This
IS problem of policy concerning
which many persons are quite hazy.
Any clear and cle1n consolidation of
agencies that will end the existing
chaos will provide basis of judg-
ment regarding these functions and
services that cannot be had as long
as the present Implications OF service
agencies prevail.
