Results Of the examination were reported back to the commissioner who has au- thority to take steps to correct any Illegal practices. pr. H'. N. Bailey, chief analytical chemist, explains that the role of the station is to analyze and interpret findings, and to report results to the commission or and finally to the public at the end of the year.
 Obviously 1t is impossible to ex- anime all foods and drugs sold on the market each year, he states, but over c period of time Q compfe- hensive survey is completed.

Tn the case of each examination the food and drug rec port reviews laws and practices gov- erning the interpretation of the analyses. For example, in deter mining spray residue on fruits and vegetables, not only do the chemists give the amounts of lead or arsenic found, but they compare findings with the amounts tolerated by law.
 Besides the hamburg, analyses in the present report include car- bonated beverages, orangeade, cider and cherry cider, cheese, eggs and egg products, olive oil, butter, ice cream, maple syrup and various types of milk from the vitamin D brand to goats milk. There are also miscellaneous drugs and other sain- ples submitted by individuals, by other departments at the station or by the college at Storrs.

Hollywood Gang Thriller In Real

PRISON RIOT CHAOS
|. PARTLY REVEALED
Wild Disorder in Kentucky
Cells Bared-Bodies May
Yet Be Found.
b. the Associated Press.

FRANKFORT, KY, January 81
Kentucky's abandoned State Prison
here has unfolded part of the story
Of its three days of terror.
AS flood waters of the Kentucky
River fell today, it still was impos-
sible to determine accurately how
many, if any, of the 1900 convicts in
side the 136-year-old prison when food
waters rose to height of more than
6 feet in the cell blocks, were dead.
Prison officials expected that some
bodies would be found when the water
finally flows out.
Gov. Chandler visited the prison
yesterday. He was accompanied by
a small group of officers; Capt. Leslie
Derossett, in command inside the
prison during the disorders, and a
newspaper man.
Chaotic Scene Discovered.
On every hand was mute evidence
OF the horrors that existed for three
days before the evacuation could be
completed. Overturned beds, broken
furniture, cots, blankets. mattresses,
anything that could be thrown, were
seen everywhere. 1t was necessary to
use a boat to go from one cell house
to another.
The three-story furniture factory,
where more than 400 prisoners were
housed awaiting evacuation, was the
scene of widest disorder. Personal
belongings were scattered on the floors.
Broken furniture was everywhere. The
lack Of sanitation was evident.
Still on duty in the kitchen was
Gregor Miner. prison chef. He spent
three days in the midst of 400 milling
convicts. They didn't bother me-" he
said. and 1 knew better than to try
10 bother them. They were in a
nasty humor, but they wanted food
Appeals to Nation to Aid.
"This is the most horrible thing ]
have ever SEEN" Gov Chandler said
as he waded through the prison. 1T
was a miracle that We got them out
of here without losing hundreds Of
lives"
The Governor took personal direc-
ton of establishment of the prison
camp on a hill overlooking the capital
city. Speaking from the prison, he
called on all Americans, through a
Nationwide radio hook-up, to come to
the aid of disaster-stricken Kentucky.
The greatest need for assistance, the
Governor said, is in Louisville.

The greatest danger to rescue boats
were submerged automobiles, aban-

ran to its peak at Parkersburg, Point

towns.
With the crest came hope for $4,000
persons they might soon return to
their homes.
Many of them slept in dry quarters
last night for the first time since the
waters started their inexorable rise.
At Charleston-50 miles from the
Ohio-the biggest single group of
refugees was gathered in a big Ma
tional Guard armory. There they set
up their own laws, rules for SANTA
ton. A barber driven from the Hunt
ington flood area opened a shop for
refugees and all men were clean
shaven for the first time in days.
State cities reported conditions
good" Little Point Pleasant sent
word over a short-wave radio, its only
means of communication, that all were
safe. Similar word came from Par
kersburg, where all business had been
halted, and from all other river towns.
Officially the States death total is
II, but at Huntington officials said
they feared many" dead may be
found when the waters recede from the
business section and industrial dis
tricts. Huntington, too, faced danger
of fire-gas bubbled through the food
waters from two broken mains.
The whole resources Of the w. P. A.
were turned over to Gov. Homer A.

route from Washington was a Red
