PORTSMOUTH, Va, July 2l.-
Postal inspectors here are trying to
locate the person who two weeks
ago mailed two live hand grenades
apparently as souvenirs-to an
address in St. Louis.
Portsmouth Postmaster S. Frank
Kirby said yesterday the contents
OF the package were discovered when
it was sent to the rewrapping bench
after the parcel was loosened in
handling. When opened it was
found that the firing pin in one of
the grenades was half out. The
pin IN the other had not been dis
lodged. Army ordinance officers
were called in and the grenades
made harmless.
After questioning drivers and
carriers, Mr.. Kirby said it was be-
heved the package was dropped in
the box at the USO club. Postal
authoritiSs believe some unthinkine
serviceman may have mailed the
grenades as a souvenir to a friend

U. 5. Joins Fight
On lnsanitary
Food Handlers.
Injunction Asked
Against Bakery
Concern Here

The Government today for the
hrst time entered the drive against
insanitary food handlers here as the
United States attorneys ONCE 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 & 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 q
series against food dispensers op-
Grating in violation of health laws.
May Include Restaurants.
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 it was
likely that court ruling would be
asked to determine whether restau-
rants come under the Food and
Drug Act If restaurant sends out
food, it might be construed as being
engaged in interstate commerce, it
was said.
Until now, food handlers violating
health regulations have been prose-
cuted under the District Code. AL
though restaurants are liable to a
maximum $500 penalty. other food
face only a $50 maximum
fine.
Sees Salutary Effect.
= Mr.. Maher expressed the belief
that issuance of injunctions against
food violators would have a salu-
tary effect since it would make them
more careful in obeying health regu-
lations. He pointed out that deal
ers ignoring restraining orders face
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
dons during the last two years.
VIA inspectors said that on a
recent visit to the bakery they found
foreign substances in bread, cakes
and doughnuts.

Election Of Arlington
School Board Urged
To End Vicious Circle
Opponents Of PIon Accuse
Sponsors Of Malicious
Attack on System

A move in Arlington County to
seek popular election of the School
Board was labeled by its hackers to-
day as IAN attempt to break a
vicious political circle" and by its
opponents as malicious attack" on
the county school system.
DR.. Victor Meyers, past president
OF the Arlington Civic Federation
which with parent-teacher associa-
tions is seeking the change-said he
had fought for IL years Ito break

pointment Of the circuit court judge
in Richmond. who appoints the
School Electoral Board, which ap-
points the School Board, which ap-
points the superintendent" This
circle, DR.. Meyers said. assures
Fletcher Kemp, the superintendent,
his job.
Recent Appointments Resented.
He added that be felt there was
widespread resentment in the county
toward the recent reappointment of
the incumbent School Board.
At a hearing conducted by the
electoral board two months ago, the
Federation recommended George
Hieronymus, Mrs. Beatrice Smythe
and George Watt for School Board
appointments The recommends
tions were received but the old board
was returned to. ofice. .a.
Charles S. Cubbins president OF
the Civic Federation. said his organ
ization sought an elected board in
order to end "the continuous per-
formance" in appointment of the
superintendent and the board. He
called for change in curriculum to
include greater vocational training
IN higher grades.
Mr.. Cobbins said. but that Fletcher
Kemp has retarded the improvement
of Arlington schools"
Delegation Going to Manassas.
He said large delegation from
county associations and clubs would
appear at hearing of the Virginia
School Study Commission at Ma
nassas August II to recommend pop-
ular election of the School Board
and the taking of school admins
tration out of politics.
Holding that popular election
would plunge the school system into
politics. Ashton Jones, real estate
developer and former county road
member, said he believed the busi-
ness groups of the county would
oppose any change.
Upholds Superintendent.
Mr.. Jones upheld Mr.. Kemp, stat
ing that he has given his best years
to building some of the finest school
buildings In the State and develop
Ing a splendid educational pro-
gram"
The present system of election of
school trustees Is as far removed as
possible from politics." Mr.. Jones
said. I regret that certain seemingly
malicious attacks upon the schools
are not only unwarranted, but dam
age the county's reputation. In spite
OF present shortages in teaching
personnel, and building materials
tne schools have developed to a
place unequaled in Northern Vir-
ginla. Cooperation rather than dis
sension will help our public school
system"
