D. T.. Heads Back Bill
To Restore Powers
To Health Office
Summorily Condemnine
Of Spoiled Goods Would
Be Provided For

Congress was urged today by the
Commissioners to approve a bill to
restore to the District Health Office
its former powers Of summarily con-
demning food products found spoiled
or otherwise unfit for human con-
sumption.
This authority was vested for
many years with the Health Depart
ment, and was regularly employed,
until it was discovered that the
Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act of 1899 contained a provision
which stripped local health officers
of such powers.
The provision required that any
articles of food which is adulterated
or misbranded, when introduced
into interstate commerce shall be
made the subject of libel action in
the district courts of the United
States, a process which District
Health Officer George c. Rutland
convinced the Commissioners took
so much time that it prevented his
inspectors from taking prompt ac-
ton to get spoiled food effectively
out of trade. ... H.
The bill, which was sent today to
the House and Senate. restores the
old power to the health officer, but
in no other respect repeals any pro-
vision of the Federal statute The
bill was forwarded to Congress after
it had been reviewed at the Budget
Bureau.

Wheeler and Lindbereh
AssaiIed by Club Leader

Describing Senator Wheeler,
Democrat, of Montana, and Charles
A. Lindbergh as sixth columnists," 4"
who "innocently or otherwise permit
certain attitudes or activities to exist
when they are of inestimable benefit
to the enemy" Mrs John L. White
hurst, president of the General Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, in state
ment last night declared that our
paramount duty is to defend our
selves from the greatest menace the
world has ever known-Hitler.
Asserting she believed both Sena-
tor Wheeler and Mr.. Lindbergh land
others who are vocal on the subject
of isolation" were honest in their
convictions, she said such persons
should not, through their speeches,
create chaotic thinking among our
people as to the need for adequate
national defense"
Il have heard many dislcyal re-
marks made about our country and
our leaders after radio speeches by
Mr.. Wheeler and Mr.. Lindbergh," she
continued. Il am sure that they
had no intention of swaying our peo-
pie away from their allegiance to
our form of government, but they
did.
THE sixth column is apathy to the
defense program. The danger from
the sixth column is as great as that
from the fifth column"

Several hundred Montgomery
County school pupils, whose arith-
metic textbooks, scheduled to arrive
before the opening Of classes last
week, had been delayed by the halt
in deliveries in the Washington area,
were not among the enthusiastic

However, school officials, who had
been keeping the long-distance tele-

ing to find out how far the books had
progressed on their journey from
Philadelphia, were relieved by the
elimination of another bottleneck in
the assembly line Of education.

considered serious, since the teachers
could keep their pupils busy with

him was how to get enough steel to

Hearing Is Planned
On Proposal for Paid
Boxing Commission
Keech Measure Would
Give Members $1,000
Annual Salaries

Proposed legislation to give the
District Boxing Commission control
over wrestling bouts and exhibitions,
including professional, collegiate
and amateur affairs, will be made
the subject Of an early public hear
ing to be called by the Commits
sioners, it was announced today.
The bill. drafted by Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech at the
request of the Boxing Commission,
would provide for a three-man
board, each member of which would
be paid $4,000 a year. Members Of
the present commission are nom
salaried and 1t is argued that most
boxing commissioners over the
country are paid.
Also, the Commissioners would be
given discretion to appoint three
civilians, whereas the present law
stipulates that one of the commits
sioners shall be Police Department
official. Some protest has been
made on Capitol Hill that a police
officer should be on the commission.
The bill also provides for appoint
ment of secretary at $4,000 a year.
The revamped commission would be
on a self-sustaining basis, taking
certain percentages of receipts from
bouts, and any surplus would be
placed to the credit of the District.
AS to collegiate and amateur bouts
and training exhibitions, the COM
mission would have power to waive
detailed control. The present g.
ounce glove weight minimum would
be reduced to six ounces.
The date for the suggested public
hearing is expected to be fixed by
the Commissioners within a day or
two Sports writer's of the Wash
ington newspapers as we'll as the
general public are expected to be
invited to discuss the proposed
measure.

 There were 24-hour guard duties organized at every port to patrol docks, radio transmitting and receiving stations, public utilities, etc. Ordered by CAA authorities in Washington, guardsmen were stationed around all airports, armed and with in structonS to shoot anyone who persisted in ap- proaching the field and to prevent if possible any enemy aircraft from landing.

 That these precautions justified is beyond question.

In the light of a slump in the rate of United States Navy enlistments the Navy eventually may find it necessary to use selectees to man the na- tons expanded fleet according to Secretary of Navy Prank Knox.
 The Secretarys observation is a commentary upon the fact that since the torpedoing of the de- stroyers Kearny and Reuben James not many obtain their parents consent as previously. This is, of course rather natural consequence of the present situation for there visible and tan gible dangers attached to service in the United States Navy It is firing and being fired upon.
 However the situation is which should rec tify itself short of end to the American tradition of volunteer navy tradition which has been fun damental of pride and esprit de corps in our Navy
 As it becomes evident that American in- terests decsively involved in the conflict and that the Navy must bear the responsibility of de- lending our interests the high seas despite the dangers involved, it is than probable that vol untary enlistments will be forthcoming at rate adequate to the needs of the greatly enlarged fleet
 Wisely, Secretary of the Navy Knox is not en- deavoring to beat around the bush to conceal the fact that Navy enlistments temporarily made quate The time has come to talk plainly to the American people If they can't take plain talk, if upon which depend the welfare and safety of the nation for many generations to come, this is as good time any to find it out.
