Mr.. Connolly said the local USES

in positions which made it impos-

Most of the inquiries from SOL

to place them in jobs generally have
been futile because employers say
the training period is too long for
them to be able to use men for q

Mr.. Connolly said most of the Job

i. ). Enters Fiqht
On Insanitary Food
Handlers in D. T..
Injunction Is. Asked
Against Bakery to Bar
Making Of Its Products

The Government today for the
first time entered the drive against
insanitary food handlers here as the
United States attorneys Office asked
District Court to issue an injunction
against bakery accused Of violating
health provisions.
The court was asked yesterday to
restrain Samuel Reubenstein, op-
orator of the New York K g. R
Bakery, 800 Fourth street S.W., from
manufacturing its products under
insanitary conditions.
Assistant United States ATTORNEY
Daniel B. Maher indicated today
that the action was the first of a
series against food dispensers op-
Grating In violation of health laws.
The unprecedented action is based
on provisions of the Food and Drug
Act which permits Federal inspec-
tors to check on, all food establish
ments engaged In interstate COM
merce. Since the District is under
Federal juridiction all bakeries and
food processing concerns come under
the interstate commerce provision,
it was pointed out.
At present, War Food Administra-
ton inspectors are visiting all food
concerns here with the exception Of
restaurants. Mr.. Maher said 1t was
likely that a court ruling would be
asked to determine whether restau-
rants come under the Food and
Drug Act. If restaurant sends out
food, 1t might be construed as being
engaged In interstate commerce, Il
was said.
Until now. food handlers violating
health regulations have been prose
cuted under the District Code. Al
though restaurants are liable to q
maximum $500 penalty, other food
handlers face only q $50 maximum
fine.
Mr.. Maher expressed the belief
that issuance Of injunctions against
food violators would have . salu-
tary effect since 1t would make them
more careful in obeying health regu-
lations. He pointed out that deal
ers ignoring restraining orders face
contempt of court charges and fines
up to $1,000. In addition, they face
possible closing of their establish
ments.
Court records showed that the
New York r g. K Bakery forfeited
SIS on one occasion and was fined
$50 another time for health viola
tions during the last two years.
VITA inspectors said that on a
recent visit to the bakery they found
foreign substances In bread, cakes
and douRianutS,
