TAX BODY
WILL HEAR
CITY PETITION

Andrew Bettwy is said to have
made the statement that he would
retire as mayor a week from Tues
day with the city owing no bills.
The mayor will probably do that,
providing the State Tax Commits
sion at hearing at the city hall
at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon,
grants the city's request for an or
der declaring an emergency to exist
in the funds of the city of Nogales
1936-37 budget in the amount Of
"a, ,902.26.
In nutshell it appears the city
may need close to $5, 1000 to wind up
its businessduring the remaining
week of the Bettwy administration.
Any taxpayer desiring to do so
may appear and be heard either in
favor of or in opposition to the
petition.
It seems to us that Mayor Elect
G. G. Cheshire, the new aldermen
elect, and all taxpayers of this city,
should be on hand at o'clock Mon
day afternoon to see what all of
this is about. If no interest in the
matter is shown by anyone other
than few favoring the mayors ap-
plication, naturally the tax COM
mission can be expected to grant it.

among Washington juveniles, advanced
by the Bureau of Rehabilitation, was
given additional stimulus yesterday
when the Executive Committee of
Washington Neighborhood Councils
voted favorably on the proposal and
referred it to the individual councils

The program would call for more
socialized treatment of cases of juve-
nile delinquency to prevent recurrence
and the necessity of haleing youths
into court and would establish a
crime prevention bureau or boys
service unit within the Police Depart
ment, the latter calling for an en-

Preparation to Be Removed

Deaths Reported.

8y tiN AocpSiStSu AeoSs
CHICAGO, Oct. ga Govern
ment oflcial said today virtually all
of the elixir of sulfanilamide which
caused IS deaths in the Nation has
been removed from the market.
J. O. Clarke, chief of the Central
States Division of the United States
Food and Drug Administration. said
Federal investigators had conflscated
or accounted for all principal ship
ments of the preparation, 700 bottles,
mostly pint size.
Several one-Ounce sample bottles
given to statesmen and physicians and
three ounces given to a ST. LOUIS
resident by his physician were being
traced. Clarke said. adding he knew
almost all of the elixir had been con-
fscated in 20 Midwestern States and
had been assured of its removal from
the market elsewhere
Five deaths in Georgia and one
each at Madisonville, Tex. Copley.
Ohio; Cary. Miss; Clayton. Ala, and
st. Louis, Mo-, were the latest reported
to the American Medical Association.
Dr. Morris Fishbein, the associa-
tion's spokesman. said other deaths
were being investigated to determine
whether they were caused by the wine
cOlored preparation. Laboratory ex-
peIiments disclosed diethylene glycol
was the lethal agent in the mixture, he
said.
Sulfanilamide, in contradistinction
to the deadly preparation in which
1t was only = component, is new
drug made from a red dye discovered
in Germany.
The American College Of Surgeons
in session here was told IL persons
afflicted with streptococcus menin-
gifts completely recovered after being
treated with sulfanilamide.
A spokesman for the College of Sur
eeons said the patients suffered from
the disease in its most deadly form
and that their cases were complicated
with msstoiditis. Such cases hereto
fore were deemed hopeless.

AIRPORT SAFETY
State Commission Wants
Planes Using Field to
Have Radios.

A proposal to require all planes
using the Washington-H Hoover Airport
to be equipped with radio, so that they
might-as safety factor-come
under the control of the air traffic
tower there, today was before the
State Corporation Commission of Vir-
ginia, which will not. however. be
able to apply any regulation OF the
sort to interstate operations unless
the Bureau of Air Commerce of the
Department OF Commerce agrees.
This recommendation to the COM
mission was made by r. E. Steele, its
director Of aviation, according to the
Associated Press story which quoted
him as saying, at hearing in Rich
mond Yesterday. that the suggested
rules largely came from operators OF
the field and pilots who have to use
it. S. J. Solomon represented the
airport.
The Bureau of Air Commerce did
not participate in the hearing. and II
was said there today that while the
Virginia commission could enforce
the radio regulation on purely intra-
state operation, the bureau could bal
application to interstate flying, If II
was decided this would be unduly
burdensome.
Another hearing is to be helc
