New Law Drafted

To Involve Long Delay

Power of summary condemnation
OF spoiled food products shipped
into the DiStrict-taken from the
District Health Department under
a Federal food, drug and cosmetic
act adopted in 1938-would be re-
turned to the District government
under legislation drafted today by

keech.
Decision to seek congressional ap-
provA OF new bill to this effect,
which would be supplemental to the
1888 act. and carefully avoid any
repeal of its many other provisions,
was reached by District officials fol-
lowing a conference with represent
stlves Of the Federal Government. 1t
was agreed the 1888 law had wiped
out standing practices which
Health Officer George c. Rutland
holds essential to protection of pub
lie health.
1t was DR.. Rutland who brought
the issue to light when he learned,
several weeks ago, that local food
inspectors could no longer condemn
spoiled food Ion sight" but that the
activities of his agents would have
to be restricted to examination and
investigation and filing of COM
plants with the Federal Govern
ment. 1t was found further that
the Federal Government also cannot
engage in summary condemnation
OF such food products, but must
proceed to file libel actions at court,
seeking court orders for condemra-
ton. DR.. Rutland held that because
OF the time required for such pro-
cedure the public health might be
jeopardized.
Mr.. Keech is expected to lay the
proposed legislation before the Com
missioners promptly, seeking early
action by the Budget Bureau and
Congress to straighten out the
tangle, District officials said there
would be some difficulties involved
In the removal of unfit food from
the trade until new legislation is in
force, but that District food inspec-
tors would warn shippers or dealers
that any shipments found unfit for
human consumption must not be
permitted to be so used.

for mediation of the strike. The
decision to keep the plants
closed while efforts are made
through Cancellation and nego-
tiatiOn to achieve a settlement
of our dispute with the Ford
Motor Company Is a construc-
tive way to handle the situation.
I'VE are also glad to CO.
operate with the governor In his
request that the thoroughfares
adjacent to the Rouge plant be
opened for traffic. We are re-
questing our pickets to report
Thursday at the same concen-
tratiOn points where they met
on Wednesday. From these
points they will be assigned to
picketlng at the Rouge gates.
I'VE are instructing all
pickets not to park their cars
i'm the thOrOughfares and to
make every effort to keep these
highways from being jammed.
THE proposal of the governor
to have the state police patrol
the gate areas removes the
danger of disorders caused by
indictments of the sO-called
special police sworn In by the
City of Dearborn.
we are hopeful that the Ford
company will accept this basis
for reaching an agreement. In
the meantime. however, the
effect of the strike will not be
lessened one lOta. The strike
will be maintained effectively
and completely until just
agreement Is reached"
