RIGID ENFORCEMENT OF ALL
SANITARY RULESFOR HOTELS
AND CAFES IS BEGUN HERE
Last Notice Is Given and
Legal Steps To Be Taken
Without Warning
BY NOAH HOLLOWELL

Inc city OF HenderSonvllle and
the county of Henderson are pre-
pairing for a more rigid enforce
ment of the claws, rules and reg
ulations for the sanitary manage
ment of hotels and cafes"
The campaign is now on. No
tice has already been served on
eating establishments.
The Henderson County Board
of Health met this week when the
county physician, DR.. T. w. Sum-
ner, the city health officer, DR..
R. E. Taylor, and the district SAN
itarian, John E. Floyd, sat in on a
session that expressed itself as
cooperating with the enforce
ment officials.
A few eating establishments
have already felt the arm of the
law because their places were tenn
porarily closed and they were
hailed into court for alleged in
Engagements.
A joint interview given by DR..
Taylor and Mr.. Floyd, who work
together in the city, with Mr..
Floyd in charge of the rural dis
tricts, was to the effect that there
has been too much evasiveness on
the part of. those serving foods
under low sanitary standards.
They take the position that they
have labored patiently with the
food serving trade and that this
has not been as effective as de-
sired. After meeting with the
County Board of Health they
were assured of official co-opera-
ton to the fullest and that since
all places have been visited they
are giving no further warnings
nor extending no further pleas.
They seem determined to have
every offender hailed into court
without any further ado. Their
places have been scored and they
have been shown in detail their
shortcomings as well as any
strong points they might be en-
titled to, and if the next score,
which will "come as thief in
the night" when least expected,
doesn't show satisfactory rating,
then it will be "just too bad"
The fine is from $40 to soy
"and each day that he shall fail
to comply with this act or to
maintain his hotel or restaurant
with a rating Of more than ~
points shall be q separate o.
fense," reads the law, and 1T
shall be the duty Of the inspector,
in case he shall have knowledge
Of any violation Of this act, to
swear out a warrant against the
person offending" =,
Mr.. Floyd emphasized the TACT
that North Carolina is now spend
ing $250,000 to invite people to
come to a great state OF heaitn,
pleasure and recreation and that
the State Board of Health is tight
ening up on the laws regulating
eating places. He stated that
there is a tendency for many
kinds of business to enter the
"food serving" business as a side
line, when their equipment VIII
not rate up to standard. Such
temporary or "side line" places
are giving no little trouble, he

MOSCOW, via London (uncen,
sored), Sept. 3.-(UP).-Creep.
ing paralysis has stricken Soviet
industry, seriously affecting full.
fillment Of the second five-yeal
plan for the time being.
This does not mean that indus
try has collapsed. But in all vita
branehSH~ st as. not, attainiRs -tht
levels set in the plan, which gen
orally were about 20 per cent in
excess Of last years production
In many cases, actual output is
not even reaching the 1886
levels.
This dislocation is marked by
recent disastrous drops in the
production of basic industries
such as coal, oil, pig iron and
steel, which necesarsily and i'm
mediately affects all other indus
try; by decreases in the produc'
tivity of labor; by a falling off in
quality and large waste in con.
sumers' goods; and by trouble
some increases in labor turnover
and absences from work.
Such a state Of affairs was
freely admitted to me during my
5000 mile trip into the interior
of the Soviet Union. 1t even is
caustically criticized and bewail-
cd by the Soviet press. Despite
the impossibility of the slightest
criticism of the party line at
any time, there is no press in the
world where actual execution OF
the governments and the party's
plans are subjected to more con-
tinuous and bitter criticism than
in the Soviet Union. 1t is upon
that point that Soviet claims of
freedom of the press are based.
The newspapers are making no
attempt to conceal the critical
situation which now exists
throughout industry and are
mercilessly prodding officials and
industrial directors.
A damning indictment of the
state of affairs at present can
easily be made out simply by
reading official publications. g..
From the Bolshevik point Of
view, which regards increasing
industrial production as the life
blood of the Soviet organism, the
situation already has reached a
critical point. Political admins
tration and industrial administra-
ton are so intertwined that they
are indisginguishable and thus
each reacts upon the other.
Disaffection in the Communist
party helped bring about disloca-
ton in industry. And the crisis
in production has widened and ac-
tolerated the present purge which
has brought tens of thousands
under arrest, including directors

LONDON, Sept. 3. (UP)-The
torpedoing and sinking of a Brit
ish tanker and Russian freight
er and reports that a British war
ship had sunk a mystery subma-
rine today brought a virtual dec
laration of war against undersea
pirates" in the Mediterranean.
The reckless sinking of mer-
chant ships along the crowded sea
routes-13 ships have been sunk
in mystery attacks-created the
greatest U-boat scare since World
raiders threatened to isolate and
war days when German undersea
starve out the British Isles.
Britain and France sent their
warships into the Mediterranean,
with orders to "shoot to sink. "
Their decks were cleared for ac-
ton, ammunition was ready be-
side the breeches of their big
guns.
British tempers-and those of
other neutral European powers
were near the breaking point as
the worst crisis in months OF
grpoing efforts to avoid general
war appeared at hand.
Tension was aggravated almost
hourly by such developments as;
l. The torpedoing and sinking
of the British tanker Woodford
off the coast of Spain, carrying
to death her second engineer,
only IL hours after a pirate
submarine, openly suspected OF
being Italian, attempted to, sink
the British destroyer Havock.

crew that 16 deadly depth bombs
