Headache Preparation
Seized as 'Misbranded'
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, March 24.-The Food
and Drug Administration yesterday
announced seizure of approximately
1000 packages of Stanback, head
ache preparation, from a local drug
warehouse for alleged misbranding.
The action was against the prod
uct and not against its manufac-
turer. The administration said the
remedy was misbranded because "it
Is dangerous in quantities pre-
scribed on the LABEL and also be-
cause it fails to warn of certain
conditions under which it's use may
be dangerous"
The seizure was made at the di-
rection Of Washington officials on
an order from the United States
district attorneys Office. Makers of
the remedy were given until April
Is to file an answer to the charges
In United States District Court.
If no answer is filed the district
attorney is expected to request
court order directing destruction of
the seized packages.
Officials of the Food and Drug
Administration said the action did
not involve criminal prosecution of
the manufacturer but was brought
merely to eliminate misbranding of
the product. The only penalty at
tached, it was explained would be
destruction of the product if the
manufacturer failed to disprove the
misbranding accusation.

Habeas Corpus Plea
Granted Prisoner
Al lorton

In Reformotory Violated
judges Sentence

0y Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, March "a
Judge Luther T. Way of the United
States District Court for the East
ern District of Virginia yesterday
granted a writ of habeas corpus
for j. T. Brosius, who was sent to
Lorton Reformatory for a crime
committed in the District of Co.
lumbia.
Brosius was serving two terms OF
from six months to year each on
charges of robbery and assault with
q dangerous weapon. The petition
for habeas corpus alleged that
Brosius was illegally confined in
Lorton since in passing sentence in
the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia JUS
tice Bolitha J. Laws had declared
that the sentence should be served
In a Jail type institution"
Remanded to District.
Judge Ways order remands the
case to the District of Columbia
court for action.
Brosius' petition alleged that con-
flnement in Lorton was a more Sc
we're penalty than imposed by JUS
tice Laws.
Brosius said in his petition that
he pleaded guilty to the two in
dictments for robbery and assault
with dangerous weapon, and that
he was not given jury trial. He
alleged that Justice Laws in pass
ing sentence, declared lin consid-
Grafton of this mans background
and previous record, the sentences,
6 months to II months, to run
consecutively, shall be served in a
Jail type institution"
Asks Return of Citizenship.
1t is claimed in the petition that
the phrase "a Jail type institution .
Is in effect punishment for mis-
demeanor sentence, and the court
showed intent to protect Brosius
from excessive and illegal sentence
which he was forced to serve at
the reformatory.
The petitioner asked the court
to return citizenship or any. other
rights he may have been deprived
Of because of the Lorton commit
ment.

HUNDRED MILE BAND OF TERRITORIAL WATER" IS
 SUBJECT FOR QUESTIONING
Copyright. 1889. Julien BryaH
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-All in- ternational law authorities seem to be against it, but the United States and it's Pan-American associates probably can expect belligerents to observe - within limitations - the 3O0-mile band of territorial water" established as a safety zone.
 The trouble with extended terri torial waters is, however, that in addition to the privileges involved, they also impose obligations upon the nation that sets out to establish them.
 A territorial water" in inter national law, is strip of water over which a country has full po- lice and maritime control. Peaceful commerce is entitled to use of the water
 For generations, territorial wa ter usually has referred to the hree-mile belt of water extending out from a nations shore. War ships of belligerent nation may enter that water only under the strictest regulations. If nation chooses. it may exclude warships altogether from it's territorial wa- ters" and any that enter will either be sunk or seized, if the neutral na- tion has the power to do that.

NEW GOVERNMENT IN NAzI
 LAND PROPOSED TO BRING
 pEA(E;;S(HEME UN(ENS0RED

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.--The New York Daily News, in copyrighted story, says according to informa- ton reaching New York through channels untouched by censors, the British Government is considering recognition of de jure-rightful rather than actual-German Gov ernment seated in London"
 The Daily News says the strategy behind the action is two fold as follows:
 First-To make clear to the Ger man people the Allies have no de- sire to war upon them and honor able terms will be acceptable to a government, other than Hitler's.
 Second-It would serve to answer former Prime Minister Lloyd George whose group is clamoring for care- ful consideration of Hitler's peace offer.
 Not only Great Britain, but France Will ittUBilllC liiC ilCW SONCi liiiitllb but certain neutrals are also asked to do so.
 The report received also states that loan of two million pounds sterling will be made to the new government for diplomatic activities.
 Four prominent German exiles, living in Great Britain and France, are appointed as a nucleus for a cabinet, as follows:
 Dr. Herman Rauschning, former Nazi President of the Danzig Sen ate, for Chancellor.
 Dr. Rudolf Breitscheid, former Nazi expert on foreign affairs, for Foreign Minister.
 Dr. Joseph Wirth, former Chan cellor, for Finance Minister.
 Captain Lieutenant Gootfried Ire viranus, one-time member of the Bruening Cabinet, Minister without Portfolio.

STILL CLAIMS
 BRITISH SUNK
 LINER ATHENA

BERLIN, Oct. 23.-German Pro- paganda Minister Goebbels denies again that a German U-boat was responsible for the sinking of the British liner Athenia in the early hours of the European war. The Athenia sank off the coast of Scot land with the loss of nearly 100 lives.
 Goebbels brought up the subject of the Athenia sinking in a radio broadcast-which was carried over network embracing every station in Germany.
 The Goebbels' speech later was re- broadcast in English, French and Italian translations.
 How is it that Winston Churchill immediately blamed a German sub marine, when he must have known that British destroyers sunk the craft?" asked Goebbels.
 Goebbels also asked why Churchill had failed to mention that the Brit lSn QeSJroyefS nad 1lred on the Slnk- ing liner
 The German Propaganda Minister asked how Churchill expected to ex- plain the fact that the Athenia re- mained afloat 13 hours after being torpedoed when the battleship Roy al Oak sank in few minutes. Goeb- bels then asked Churchill to tell where he had found the witnesses to swear that they had seen a sub marine near the stricken craft. The German official declared that the entire world is waiting for what he termed Churchills confession.
 Germany has consistently claimed the Athenia was not sunk by a Nazi U-boat.

PLANE CRASHES AT TESLlN; AID ASKED
GIRL RESCUED IN LEAP FROM
 S. S. T0NGASS
Near Suicide Becomes Fine Example of Good
 Crawl Stroke

Officers on the steamer TongasS said 19-year- old Betty Kinsella, who leaped from the vessel in Frederick Sound yesterday with apparent at tempt at suicide, had too good an Australian crawl to be sincere in her intentions to drown herself"
 Capt. Larry Parks said the girl, who crewmen said had been Thigh as a kite" in the morning, jumped without warning from the lower deck at 8 o'clock yesterday morning while the vessel was under full way in Frederick Sound.
 Parks said that if the girl had any intentions to drown herself "she got over them in a hurry" cried for help and swan like a fish" after the TongasS.
 In response to a seaman's cry of man overheard" the ship was slow ed down and a boat put over with First Mate M. M. Merkley in charge to rescue the swimming girl, taking her aboard after she had been swim ming for approximately twenty minutes.
 Capt Parks said the girl offered no explanation of her leap and had merely said she was on her way to rejoin her husband and a five months old baby in Juneau. She boarded the vessel at Seattle.
 Capt. Parks placed the girl under lock and key until her arrival here when he turned her over to City Police who would make no comment today, but said she was not held.
