HEUR|CH PLANT
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Blaze Destroys Old Records
and Loss Is Placed in
Excess of 5000.

Fire of undetermined origin broke
out on the third floor of the Heurich
Brewery Office Building shortly before
noon today and burned through the
company's art department and record
room before it could be brought under
control.
Chris Heurich, jr.. company treas
urer, estimated the damage at between
$4,000 and $4,000.
Three rooms on the top floor of the
structure. which Is part of the main
plant at Twenty sixth and Water
streets NV, were virtually destroyed
by the flames. 1t is the only wooden
part of the entire plant, Mr.. Heurich
said.
Records dating back to 1873, the
year OF the company's founding either
were destroyed by the blaze or were
scared by the heat
No one was on the floor when the
fire was discovered by an employe in
another part of the plant. Work.
except in the small three-story Office
building, went on uninterrupted. A
local alarm and a fire box turned in
by f1remen first to arrive at the scene
brought more than Is pieces of ap-
paratus into the grounds of the plant.
According to Capt. W. A. Bryarly
OF No. % Engine Company, the first
to arrive, the flames were shooting
from the roof and through a doorway
down the steps, the only entrance to
the third floor. He said firemen had
to pour water onto the flames in the
doorway before they could gain en-
trance to fight the main blaze.
A number of mo Smoking" signs
were burned. along with other model
posters in the small art department
room. Several Office machines were
destroyed in another room.
Mr.. Heurich said it was the most
serious fire in the company's history.
He also said the damage is not covered
by insurance. as it was the only
portion of the plant not absolutely
flreproof."
The lower floors of the building
were protected to some extent by a
l3-inch concrete floor. though some
water poured through from the STAIR
way and ceiling edges.

WALLACE LOSES
DRUG BILL. FIGHT
House 0verrides Objections
to Allow Review by u. S.
District Courts.
ny the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
The House, approving new food
and drug law. overrode yesterday an
objection by Secretary Wallace to al
lowing United States District Courts
to review the orders he would issue
in enforcing the legislation.
Representative Mapes, Republican,
of Michigan, member of the Inter
state Commerce Committee, which
drafted the measure, told the House
Secretary Wallace had advised that
If this provision were retained it
would be better to continue the old
law"
Intended to Modernize Law.
The new measure is intended, COM
mittee members said, to modernize
and expand the food and drug law en-
acted 80 years ago.
Representative Mapes said both
the Agriculture and Justice Depart
ments had told him that if the orders
could be challenged in District Courts
administration of the law would be
seriously hampered He sought un-
successfully to have court review be-
gin in an appellate court.
Chairman Lea of the committee de-
Tended the provision, asserting this
would allow any aggrieved person to
enjoy his fun rights of appeal through
the courts.
The measure. rewritten from a draft
the Senate passed IA months ago,
would prohibit interstate shipments
Of foods, drugs and devices adulter-
ated, misbranded or advertised falsely.
1t now goes back to the Senate for
action on the House changes.
Wallace Holds Power.
Secretary Wallace, administrator Of
the law through the Food and Drug
Administration, would be authorized
to compel informative labelling of
foods. to make definitions and stand
ards of identity for foods and to re-
quire that new drugs undergo rigid
tests before being placed on the
market
Mr.. Mapes and five other commit
tee members interpreted the section
allowing court review as meaning tnat
a single district judge could block ma
tional enforcement of the law or a
regulation issued under it.
This is an extraordinary extern
sion of jurisdiction and an extraor-
dinary grant of power" they said.
"As suggested (by Wallace) If there is
to be an exploration into new forms
of court review it is our conviction
that such experimentation should be
made in fields other than those of vi
tally important health laws"
