NEW YORK, April s.-A new

age span of human life may de-

revealed today in an interview by
DR.. Wilhelm c. Hueper, at the
Warner Institute for Therapeutic
reSearchh here.
The key of the new method is to
provide the living body with chem
ical substances which "detoXify"
that is to say. they destroy all
sorts of toxins or poisons.
Said Doctor Ffueper:
THE modern age is different
from any previous age, because
il is industrial. All kinds of
new substances are produced In
factories and other operations.
They are inhaled, eaten, con-
taeted by man.

The Dies Committee asked Con-
gress yesterday to halt what it called
distribution of "totalitarian propa-
ganda" in the United States at the
expense of American taxpayers.
The recommendation was made in
supplemental report ampifying
the committees previous charges
that Germany Russia, Italy and
Japan were taking advantage of the
Universal Postal Union Convention
to gain free distribution of huge
quantities of propaganda in this
country.
Under the terms of this conven-
ton, the committee said, the Post
Office Department must bear the
cost of distributing within the
United States all literature received
from abroad.
It proposed that Congress enact
legisIa ton restricting distribution OF
foreign literature when the process
involves cost to the American tax
payers, and excluding from benefits

ganda that is directed against the
United States"

The United States Government

for directing propaganda against
these four governments. Conse-
| quently, the United States receives
no reciprocal benefits under the
workings of the Universal Postal
! Union
Distribution of the report was

der the investigative authority it re-
ceived from the last Congress. Of

Four former newSpapermen are
going to take care of the legislative
affairs in the House during the 77th
Congress for the people of New
Orleans-once the political domain
of the late Senator Huey Long.
Two of them are among the new
members of the House-Representa-
tiveS Boggs and Hebert. Coming
from New Orleans, both, of course,
are Democrats.
The other two are their secre-
taries. And there's nothing strange
about that. All of them have been
friends and co-workers for years.
They attended the same college
CTulane University, covered news
paper assignments together, and oc-
casionally "scooped" one another.
There is, however, a coincidence,
in the fact that when they came to
Washington they expected to be
separated at times. but instead. have
found themselves closer together
than ever.
hSSISlCu huJVhh6 osAASSS'
Mr.. Boggs and Mr.. Hebert have
been assigned adjoining Offices in
the old House Office Building. In
Room 338 you will find Mr.. Boggs
and his secretary, David MCGUIRE.
And next door in Room $40 is Mr..
Hebert and his secretary, Joseph
Huddleston.
The wave of sentiment in New
Orleans against the Long regime
swept both Mr.. Boggs and Mr..
Hebert into Office in the November
election. Neither had any serious
political ambitions until the powerful
political machine built up by the
late Senator Long showed signs OF
cracking.
Representative Hebert (the name
is pronounced A-Bear) was city edi-
tor of the New Orleans States when
he decided to run for Congress. For
years he had written a political
column for that newspaper. He re-
frains from telling the part he is
reputed to have taken in the over
throw of the Long regime, but his
secretary, Mr.. Huddleston, proudly
points out that Eddie" as he calls
him, was instrumental in blowing
off the lid" of the scandals" in
New Orleans politics that rocked
the Nation.
Mr.. Hebert is 80 years of age. is
married and is the father of one
child. He Is a native of New
Boggs Is Only 27.
Representative Boggs is only ~
years of age. He is one of the

81 Tons in IL Weeks.
The report said that it was not
possible to determine exactly the
volume of this mail, but that about
ga tons came from H. r. Hoffman
in Germany in IL weeks.
Summing up its report, the COM
mittee said:
'It is impossible to make any
kind Of estimate of the costs OF
these services. But two things are
obvious: The cost Of distribution
from the time such propaganda Is

the addressee is borne by the tax
payers OF the United States, and
such cost, however large or small
is a wholly unjustifiable item in
the American taxpayers bill.

ganda attack upon the United
States in particular and upon al

For more than year and a half
Representative Boggs was active in
politics in New Orleans, and was
tagged as 'anti-Long." He made
many speeches in the Crescent City
against the Long machine, and came
to Congress with a reputation of
being a fine orator"
Mr.. Mcguire, secretary to Rep
resentative Boggs, is a former gen.

Washington because of an addition
to his family last week. The secre-
tary to Mr.. Hebert-Mr. Huddleston

Defense Confusion
Scored by Midwest
Manufacturers
Governmental Indecision
On Equipment Designs
Blamed for Delays
Py lhe Associated Press.

Ply The Associated Press
CHICAGO. Jan. 4.-The Midwest
Manufacturers Association asserted
tonight that production of national
defense orders is falling down be-
cause of confusion and indecision
under Federal management"
1--WE deplore the delays in gov
ernmental departments in arriving
at final designs of defense equip
ment so that manufacturers may
move into production" the associa-
ton said in a statement following
a meeting.
The manufacturers of the Mid
west stand ready to throw the whole
force of their productive facilities
into the making of defense material
and equipment =. But no pro-
duction can take place until the
Government first freezes its designs
and secondly, furnishes to industry
the working blueprints so that tool
ing may be completed and produc-
ton advanced"
The association, which claims to
represent approximately $1,000 plants
in the Middle West. said any pro-
posal to place unemployment COM
pensation under Federal control was
IAN unjustif1able attack on State
rights that in the end will have ar
adverse effect on employees as vel
as employers"
"All that has been gained ir
stabilization of employment is en-
dangered by the proposed Federal
ization of the Social Security Act
and the threat to abolish the merit
rating now accorded employers, the
statement added.
"Federalization means the throw.
ing of the whole question of socia
security into politics and the use o
/ funds more and more for other gov
ernmental expenses instead of beinl
held in trust for the workers"

The schedule called for 5000 miles,
but the flight at an altitude of

that mileage. The crew carried
oxygen masks to offset the effects
of low pressure at high attitudes.
officials at Wright Field, the Air
Corps immense testing laboratory

to provide valuable research data
on the effects of continued long
range high-altitude operations on
flight personnel as well as to test
the performance of the giant fight

After Some Escape
'Tricked' by Departures
From U. S., They Assert;
Nozi Says All Is in Order

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4.-"Es-
cape" of six German sailors to Toxic
represented "a realization of the
object in view" Nazi spokesman
commented today as British officials
asserted they would not be "tr!cked'
again.
The six who sailed aboard the
Asama Maru last october IS were
among 512 men brought from the
East Coast after scuttling the Ger
man liner Columbus to thwart cap
ture by British warship. The en-
tire group was to have sailed for
home via Japan, but British seizure
of other German seamen in Far
Eastern waters led to decision TO
keep the men at the Angel Island
immigration station.
From time to time, however, small
groups of physically unfit seamen
have been permitted by the British
to sail aboard Japanese and Italian
vessels. About 430 remain.
No More Privileges, However.
Today British official said Their
game is up and that because of
"abuses" of safe-conduct privileges
no consideration would be given fu-
ture NaA requests for immunity
from seizure.
The six who sailed on the Asama

Stories in the newspapers about

arrived in San Francisco carried
news that the object of transporting
the crew to San Francisco was in
order to facilitate their sailing.

for in so doing I feel I would be
acknowledging the fact that actors
are competing with each other, and
such an approach to ones work
is not very inspiring.
In doing my work I aim only
to please the public, which, I be-
lieve, is the true aim of all actors
If we succeed in doing thzt, I feel
sure we have been amply rewarded.
My feeling in this matter is in no
way a reflection on the merit OF
the New York film critics, most of
whose individual work I respect and
admire.
However, when such representa-
tive critics designate the quality
and merit of a motion picture or a
performance by a process of elec-
tloneerlng, such procedure is, in
my humble opinion, far afeld from
sound critical appraisal. May 1,
nevertheless, thank you for the
compliment"
Chaplin was the first to refuse
an award in the six years they have
been made. Greta Garbo refused to
speak over the air in presentation
ceremonies in 1888, but accepted
