Dental Association
Officer Opposes
Health Program
Senate Committee
Told Proposal Fails to
Recognize Dentistry
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
A spokesman for the American
Dental Association expressed oppo-
sition today to a proposal by Sena-
tor Wagner Democrat, of New York
for national health program, con-
tending the measure had "disre-
garded the fundamental principles
for the protection of the public and
the profession"
DR.. Harold w. Oppice, chairman
OF the associations Health Program
Committee, told a Senate Labor
Subcommittee the bill fails to rec
ognize that dentistry is an integral
service necessary to the improve
ment of the public health
Also, he said, it did not recognize
the Importance of preventive den-
tistry as the basis of a national
health program"
The bill would provide for Fed
eral grants to States to subsidize
various types of health activity.
Expenditures, DR.. Oppice asserted,
would be "unscientific and uneco-
nomic." He proposed that amend
ments be adopted to combine all
Federal health activities, except the
military services. into single
agency and to treat dentistry in a
separate section.
DR.. Oppice testified the associa-
ton was opposed in principle to a
section of the bill which, he said,
would make possible compulsory
health insurance.

Committee at the request of Chair
man Bates and after being instruct
ed to do so by the Commissioners
Those assigned, Capt. Floyd Truscott
and Detective Richard Felber, re-
ported their findings to Mr.. Bates
and not to their chief, Mai. Brown
added. A specific request had been
made for Capt. Truscott, an ace
investigator of the department.
Speaker Bankhead said at his
press conference if the room had
been wired by attaches of the
Metropolitan Police force. they had
exceeded their authority.
Mr.. Bates had called on the police
force Tor assistance, he said, after
both the Department of Justice and
the Post Office Department had re-
fused the committee the aid of their
investigators. The resolution adopted
by the House directing the investi-
cation, he pointed out, authorized it
to call on either Federal or District
officials for assistance.
The investigating committee will
resume the inquiry tomorrow at 10 30
am, at which time it is planned to
give attorneys for various producers
and distributors an opportunity to
complete cross examination of Mr..
Derrick.
c. j. Babcock of the dairy market
Ing division of the Agriculture De-
partment, principal witness before
the committee yesterday, told of
the results of a test given samples
Of milk distributed by Washington
dairies several weeks ago.
The samples were taken from
milk wagons on the streets as we'll
as milk in the stores. These sam
Piles, Mr.. Babcock said, were COL
lected by himself and Richard Eel

vestigator.
After the hearing, j. Edward Bur-
roughs, jr., the committee counsel,
revealed he had requested the Agri-
culture Department to conduct the
milk tests. The samples were taken
in all sections of the city. A quart
and pint Of each dairy's milk were
taken from both the stores and the
| trucks.
The individual record of the tests
showed the bacteria count to range
from a maximum of 100000 per
| cubit centimeter for q certain dairy
to a minimum of 100 on one other.
The average bacteria count how
ever, for the various dairies from
which samples were taken from
wagons on retail routes, according to
Mr.. Babcock's records, were as fol-
lows:
Arlington County Dairy, $3.50;
Chestnut Farms Dairy, 2,375, EN-
bassy Fairfax Dairy, 9,612: Model
Farms Dairy, 225: Thompson's
Dairy, 8,212. and Wakefield, $4,000.
The 1925 District Milk Control Act
sets the maximum bacteria count
at 10000 per cubic centimeter.
The average bacterial count of
samples collected from stores, &C
cording to Mr.. Babcock's records,
were as follows:
Arlington, 1925; Chestnut Farms,
$3.50; Embassy Fairfax, 1887; Clover
Dairy products, 1925; Highland
Farm, $50: Model Farm, 100; Sylvan
Seal, 1852; Thompson's 50,587, and
Wakefield, 439 100.
Several of the dairies which dis
tribute to stores do not deliver to
private homes and their names do
not show up in the list of dairies
from which milk samples were pro-
cured from home deliver wagons.
Mr.. Babcock pointed out his rec
ords showed the average bacteria
count was slightly higher in samples
taken from the stores than those
from the dairy wagons on retail
routes. The average butterfat con-
tent of the milk samples, he said,
was slightly higher in those taken
from the wagons than those from
the stores.

Brooding Menace of Khyber
Pass in "Gunga Din

An attack on British patrol by
worshippers of Kali, goddess of the
murderous cult of Thuggee, in the
vicinity Of midas historic Khyber
Pass is the incident which stirs up
trouble along the Northwestern
Frontier, brings English troops into
action, and marks the opening Of
hostilities in "Gunga Din" RKO
Radios new big thrill melodrama
starring Cary Grant, Victor McLag-
len and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.
Between Afghanistan and India
lies a country of mountains and
rocks over 10000 feet in height
where for centuries, fierce, Warlike
tribesmen have carried on guerilla
warfare. Small villages, which are
really forts, dominate the center of
the pass. Here dwell the nomadic
tribesmen whose love of fighting is
a hereditary passion derived from
ancient ancestors who lived by the
sword From their watch towers,
and behind walls loopholed for
musketry, they are ever ready to
open fire upon intruders. Only the
highway is British, the rest is tribal
territory, and not too easily invaded.
