Keech Explains Bill
For Drinking Tests

A bill providing scientific tests to
determine drunkenness of drivers
and pedestrians is about ready to be
presented formally to the Commis-
sioners, Richmond B. Keech, cor
poration counsel, said today. If ap-
proved by the Commissioners, it
would be submitted to the Budget
Bureau for a report.
The measure was explained in
some detail to the District Medical
Society last night by Mr.. Keech, who
said it would provide medical evi-
dence, admissible in court, to sup
plement present evidence by lay
men. Scientific tests would be
made of the alcoholic content of
blood, urine, saliva and breath. The
measure provides that 15-100th of
per cent of alcohol in the blood
would prove intoxication. Results
of the laboratory findings would be
made available to the prosecution
as well as the defendant.
DR.. Oscar B. Hunter, pathologist
explained the laboratory processes
illustrating his talk with stereop-
ticon slides.
"The intoxication test for drink
ing drivers not only reveals the
guilty" he said, 'but also protects
the innocent There are known
cases of persons accused of drinking
who actually were suffering from 8
fractured skull, diabetes or Other
ailment from which they later died
The District Medical Society, &C.
cording to Theodore Wiprud, sec.
retary, previously had approved 8
similar bill and so favors the pres.
ent draft.

Farmers Union Head
Assai|s Baruch Plan
Ely the Associated Press

BY Iuc ASSOClateO Press.
James G. Patton president of the
National Farmers Union, declares
that the Baruch postwar reconver-
sion proposals mean 1--WE are headed
back toward Harding 'normalcy'
With the Government turning over
to Haonopolies the aion,s -sharea. OF.
war plants and surplus materials.
Mr.. Patton yesterday made public
q letter to President Roosevelt, pro-
testing what he termed the "trickle-
down" philosophy that permeates
the recommendation of BERNARD M.
Baruch, presidential adviser.
The farm leader also protested
appointment of William Clayton to
direct the disposal of surplus ma
terials and of Brig. Gen. Fank T.
Hines, veterans administrator, to
direct employment and rehabilita-
ton activities.
Together, they spell bad news
for the public interest and for peo-
pies organizations" Mr.. Patton
said.
Further, the Baruch recommenda-
ions ana ClaytoniS administration
will prohibit Government 'yardstick
operations and such operations as
iva, despite the historical fact that
you are the author of this yardstick
idea.
"They offer farmers nothing, and
to labor not jobs but only an en-
ployment service. -"
I'VE urge you to review imme-
diately the domestic fronts in this
war and see that the peace is not
delivered to corpora tions."

been showed ahead appreciably.
Map Explains Story.
The Marshalls, he pointed out,
provide landing fields from which
land-based bombers can strike read
lily at Truk, Japan's Central Pacific
rbastien:s Cur Air Force, he pointed
out, already is blasting at the Caro-
lines, and added significantly:
ANY one who wants to know
where it is going from there need

the Mariana and the Bonins,
running north on a direct line
toward Toxic, which is only 1900
miles from Truk. To the west
of Truk lies the Palau Islands
and the Philippines)
Gen. Hale disclosed that when he
left Honolulu recently heavy bomb
er bases had been completed on
Kwajalein Island and that others,
being prepared on Majuro, should
be ready now. He pointed out that,
compared with the great distances
often flown by the 7th Air Force,
the 1,400-mile round trip from these
islands to Truk would be a simple
undertaking.
"The Marshalls campaign" he
said, provided the Japs with the
handwriting on the wall. The pat
tern for the future will be to render
Intellectual every island group which
stands between us and the japanese
homeland"
Marshalls Bombed Heavily.
Explaining this statement, Gen.
Hale pointed out that the Marshalls
had been bombed 10 times as long
before a landing was attempted as
were the Gilberts, taken previously.
That preparation, he added, was re-
1ected in the comparatively small
losses suffered by American landing
parties.
Two important islands in the
Marshalls, he said, were neutralized
30 per cent by air bombardment be-
fore the actual landings.
BY losing the Marshall Islands,
he continued, the japanese suffered
major setback, one that gave
American forces complete control of
the land and sea in this area. The
Japanese, he explained, have no
air strength east Of Truk, except
possibly some planes at Wake
Island.
