FOOD, DRUG unit
POWERLESS IN
SERUM DEATHS.
Lack of Law Prevents
Any Legal Action

u.N.s,) The Food and Drug
Administration is planning no le-
gal action against the Philadel-
phia laboratories that manufac-
tured the cancer serum fatal to
II persons at Orlando, Fla, it
was learned today, for the reason
that mo law has been broken"
A spokesman for the FDA
stated, that there is mo law to
prohibit shipment of dangerous
medicines. as demonstrated in the
famed elixir case last fall. At
that time we recommended that
Congress pass strict legislation to
cover such situations but to date
our recommendations have gone
UNDECIDED"
LOCKJAW CAUSED
Thirty-six persons were victims
of an elixir" last fall. Eleven
persons have now died of lockjaw
which developed from a bad
batch Of cancer serum" made in
physicians samples only and not
sold commercially.
Tests at the FDA laboratories
showed that the one particular
batch Of the serum, No. 1852, was
tho only batch to have fatal quail
ties. Officials Of the FDA stated,
however, that "the possibility Of
criminal action against the firm
has not been thought of because
we canont prove that the drug
was a fatal mixture when 1t was
shipped to physicians"
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace has been pressing for better
regulations of patent medicines
under FDA supervision and is con-
tinuing his fight with renewed
vigor since the recent tragedies
ct Orlando.
CHECK PLANNED
Although it cannot take legal
action, the FDA has made a num-
Der of steps to check the drug
carefully hereafter and to elm
mate batch 152 from all doctors
bags. Field agents are taking up
the entire distribution and DR.. J..
j. Durrett has been working at

ganizing a check system to guard

HuII'S Contract
By MERRILL MUELLER

U.N.S0.-F decision on ex
portation of helium gas to Ger
many for initiation of its new
transatlantic sky-queen Lz-130 re
manned with President Roosevelt
today with a strong possibility
that Germany may not get the
gas in time to use it this year-it
at all.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
refused to endorse a contract Ii
censed by. the State Department
to permit expectation of 10000,
600 cubic feet of the gas until the
President returned from his Warm
Springs vacation.
UP TO PRESIDENT
If the President declines to sup.
port him it was learned that Ickes,
much to the chagrin of Secretary
of State Hull, will return the con.
tract to the State Department.
The schedule for shipment of
the gas, which will cost Germany
$40 per 1000 cubic feet, is already
two months behind the dates au-
thorized in the contract.
WANTS ASSURANCE
1ckes has stated he wants to be
doubly sure Germany will not use
the helium for military purposes,
as stipulated in the congressional
act authorizing sale of the gas.
He has been holding up the con-
tract pending some definite guar
antee that will prove conclusively
to the United States that the gas
will not be used in military air
ships.

could have won the setting trick.
 With the double, however, East had no option except to lead the heart, as the defending players were using the slam double con- vention formulated by the Four Aceg. It requires a lead of the first side suit bid by dummy if third hand doubles a slam bid. The lead of the heart, however, was playing South's game, as while East ruffed, the ruff was the only trick for the defending side, and South fulfilled his contract by pulling trumps, ruffing one dia- mond and discarding his losing club on dummy's extra heart which had been established by the opening lead.

First tried early last year,

fenced to die, but the Court Of
Appeals reversed the conviction
on the ground Of improper in.

again convicted at his second
trial last spring, and the case
again was carried to the appellate
tribunal on the ground the trial

evidence unfavorable to the de
