Z. S. Officials Trace Shipment OF "a
Walls to This Country.


B, the Associated Press.
The Federal Food and Drug Admin
istration reported today that only
seven small shipments of the cancer
serum administered patients who died
at Orlando, Fla, had been sent to the
United States by its Canadian manu-
facturer.
DR.. P. B. Dunbar, assistant chief of
the administration, said shipments of
the serum went to seven physicians,
including DR.. T. A. Neal, at whose Or
lando clinic the serum treatment was
given.
The seven shipments contained, DR..
Dunbar said, a total of 81 small walls.
He told reporters the physicians
were notified by telephone today that
the residue was being impounded
pending investigation to determine
whether the serum was factor re-
sponsible for the fatalities.
While withholding names of the
other six physicians who received the
serum, Dr. Dunbar said two were To-
Gated in New York State and one each
in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Kansas.
A sample of the serum administered
at Orlando was expected here today
for chemical analysis.
DR.. Dunbar said that If the admins
tration's findings showed the drug
harmful, steps would be taken to seize
the remainder of the shipments.

RACE TRACK BILL
OPPOSITION CITED
Representative Declares
Evidence Is Contrary
to Opinion.

Representative Bates, Republican. Of
Massachusetts, who is leading the fight
to kill the Sacks bill to legalize horse
racing in the District, today declared
some of the proponents had aroused
his suspicion by announcing the Com
missioners and Police Supt. Ernest w.
Brown favored establishment of a race
track here whereas he has evidence to
the contrary.
Mr.. Bates received letter from
Maj. Brown, in which the latter, he
said, fatty opposed the bill. The
record of the hearings on the measure,
Mr., Bates added. contains an un-
favorable report from the Commits
sioner:.
Portion of Letter.
In his letter, Maj Brown said, in
part:
"As major and superintendent of
the Metropolitan Police Department
I wish to be placed on record before
your committee in opposing the pro-
posed legislation for legalization of
horse racing in the District Of Colum-
bia. Prior to 1908 horse racing was
permitted in this jurisdiction. How
ever. due to the conditions which de-
veloped as result of horse racing,
Congress by legislation, prohibited
horse racing in this jurisdiction.
In examining the annual reports
Of the major and superintendent dur
ing the period racing was in operation
in this jurisdiction, find that prior
to each race meet, the records indi-
cate that orders were issued to the
force to give special attention to con-
ditions developing as result of the
undesirable element being attracted
to this city during the racing period.
am also advised that in Jurisdictions
where racing is now in operation the
or heads of the police
are very much opposed
to racing and its attendant results"
The bill is now pending before the
judiciary subcommittee of the House
District Committee. Chairman Nc
Gehee plans to hold a meeting early
next week to decide whether to report
it favorably to the full committee.

President Roosevelt. 1t was learned
today, has approved the recommended
ton Of Secretary of the Navy Swanson
that Brig. Gen. Harold C. Reisinger,
paymaster of the Marine Corps, be re-
tired from active service on May l,
due to physical disability incurred in
the line of duty.
While no official ruling was given on
this point, it is presumed that the
general court-martial charges pending
against Gen Reisinger, covering the
broad charge of conduct to the
prejudice Of coed order and discipline,
will now be dropped.
Gen. ReiSinge1 was ordered before
general court-martial at the Marine
Barracks at Quantco. Va, several
months ago, but the proceedings were
abruptly halted when the paymaster
contended he was in such a mental
state that he could not properly carry
on his defense. He has since been a
patient at the Naval Hospital here.

tention that he was mentally Ill was

 Anatole De Monzie, minister of public works, said that there was no strike on the railroads.
 The work in depots and shops continued with moving discipline, J he said. "Acts of sabotage, which might have been feared, did not oc- cur except for individual acts with out dangerous consequences"
 Situation Perfect
 Minister of Interior Albert Sarraut after directing police and troop movements all night said at Ii a. m. that the situation throughout France was perfect"
 "All public services are operating, ' Sarraut said. "In the steel industry where the biggest defection was ex- pected, there were only 25 pr cent on strike"

FRENCH STRIKE PROVES FAILURE
Continued from Page l)

Continued from Page 1)
 Minor scuffles occurred when troops or police evicted sit-down strikers and one lay-down striker who attempted to stop railroad serv- ice near Paris by reclining across the tracks.
 The headquarters of the French Confederation of Labor, which call- ed the strike with the support of the Socialist and Communist parties, virtually admitted that the strike was broken, at least in Paris, at 10:45 a. m. (5:45 a. m., EST).
 Labor Leaders Blame Decree
 Labor leaders blamed the situa- tion on a decree issued by Daladier requisitioning vital public works and his strategy in rushing thousands of troops, police and mobile guards to enforce the operation of normal rail- road and other public services.
 The ministry of public works said that the strike was more effective in the mines than in any other in- dustry, but said that only an aver age of 30 per cent struck throughout the nation.
 Roger Langeron, prefect of police, reported at Il a. m. t6 8. m. ESTo that 495 arrests had been made in Paris of which 30 were for charges

Shoe Stores, Auto ACces- sOry Firms Report Very
 Splendid Patronage

A warm sun this morning aided street department workers as they continued their task of clearing the city,s streets of snow and ice. With the first of the two heavy snow storms having fallen week ago to- morrow, many streets are still snow- covered and more than a few streets are still virtually impossible for aii- tomobileS.
 The snow and resultant hazardous conditions have had their good as well as their bad points, for many merchants report large business i1l- creaSes because of the storms. Auto mobile accessory dealers have sold hundreds of sets of chains, and with garages and gas stations have sold huge quantities of anti-freeze.
 Shoe stores and department stores have been besieged by hundreds of persons seeking rubbers, overshoes and rubber boots. The cold weather of the past week has brought many orders to coal, oil and wood dealers.
 Sleds, winter hats, ski suits, snow suits and dozens of other items have been in great demand throughout the week. It has been years since Waterbury youngsters were given the opportunity of having coasting, and full week of it, so early in the season.

These totals are greatly at Varl- srce with local police figures. Stat tistician James Little stating today that Waterbury has had many more hit-and-run cases than listed by the motor vehicle department. He pointed out, however, that the only accidents reported to the depart -ment are those in which damage exceeded $25 or in which there were personal injuries. All accidents, no matter how slight, are recorded by local police.
 z Other Cities
 During the 10-month period, the report states, Bridgeport had 16 hit and-run cases; Hartford, 18, and New Haven 16.
 For 514 days, or since June 24, } 1887 Gas his report is written on November 23, 1938) Ansonia has not recorded a traffic fatality, establish ing a Connecticut record for towns < of more than 10000 population. Win chester, which really means the city of Winsted, has rolled up 343 mo- fatality days, not a traffic death having been in that Litchheld coun- ty town since December 12, 1887. Derby, neighboring community to Ansonia, has been without traffic fatality since December 24, 1887, or SS1 days. Ansonia's record, however, causes that Naugatuck valley com- munity to stand out by itself in comparison with other congested areas of the state.
 Heavy Traffic
 -a Considerable trahic rolls up and down the valley, passing over Route 115 which runs through Derby and Ansonia. Route has been improved and attracS traffic now from Shel- ton to Seymour on the west side of the Naugatuck river but the tranlc flow over Route 115 is still a fairly heavy stream. With single main streets in both Ansonia and Derby 1t is remarkable, with fac- tories located thereon and adding heavy pedestrian traffic to the street load several times day, that not a single pedestrian has been killed in those two industrial communities over such long periods.

 The loader can fill 2 number of trucks in the course of an hour and was operating today on Grand street, clearing from Bank to 8 point beyond Leav- enw0rth within half an hours time.
 With the extra trucks in operation, and the warmer weather today which caused general melting of the icy foun- dalton which has been base of Waterbury's last snowfall, it was expected that the streets will be cleared i'm most parts of the city by tomorrow after noon.
