The largest percentage OF scales
condemned as inaccurate are
those used for weighing drugs in
compounding prescriptions, j.
Thomas Kennedy. superintendent
of weights, measures and markets,
disclosed today.
There are as many scales that
weigh heavy as those that weigh
light, Mr.. Kennedy said. In either
case. he added. they are dangerous
to the health Of Washington resi-
dents.
He said druggists are eo-opera-
tive in correcting defects. At one
time condemnation Of druggists
scales amounted TO as much as IS
per cent. but this has dropped TO
less than Is per cent. be said.
Il am more interested in scales
used in drugstores than ] am in
those of any other line of business
here" Mr.. Kennedy said. This
is especially important In these
days of powerful drugs. scales In
other businesses can hurt your
pocketbook, but consider health
more important than the pocket
book"
Mr.. Kennedy said most of tht
trouble is due to the use of home
made weights by druggists. He
said some of the weights found
were slot machine coins and steel
washers. In some instances scales
are out OF line because they have
been washed with acid and lose
some of their metal in the wash
ing.
The men engaged in the drug
business are highly educated, Mr.
Kennedy said, and when their at
tention is called 10 defects in their
measuring devices shey are quick
to remedy them.

PROTECTION FOR
 U.S.FUR INDUSTRY
 BEFORE CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-tR- The Senate acted last night to pro- tect the American fur industry from injury by imports.
 A bill was approved directing the President to follow tariff commits sion recommendations on duty cuts to prevent injury to the domestic fur industry.
 An effort was made recently to tie this amendment onto the ex- tension of the reciprocal trade agreements act. But it lost on~ a tie vote.
 This time the Senate approved the amendment without debate by tacking it onto a bill to permit manufacturing and exhibition of merchandise within a foreign trade zone.
 The measure now goes back to the House, which has taken no vote on the fur amendment.

I5Iashinq Atfatk on British Labor Government Is Made by
 Churchill; 0ust If, He Demands
By HAL COOPER

LONDON, Sept. Winston Churchill called on Parliament to- day to kick out Prime Minister Attlee's Labor government and make way for another which he said could set the British pound free Q find it's own level in world mar kets.
 The Conservative leader. in a slashing attack, denounced the Labor government as having drought Britain ito the verge of national and international bank ruptcy."
 His address opened the Conser- vative attack in the three-day de- Late in Parliament on Britain's de- valuation policy.
 Churchill said even if the Labor government was forced to devalue the pound from S403 to $280, "it cannot be good thing and we have suffered serious disaster Under the present strict controls, the Con- servative leader declared, it will grove "a new drain upon cur latent strength and remaining motive power"
 The wartime Prime Minister said the sterling area nations which use the pound still have great strength, and that Britain needs only a new government which could inspire confidence at home and abroad.
 T Believe strength, working freely and backed up by intense productive efforts of all the com munities concerned, would in a short while achieve far better rate of exchange against the present figure of s280, to which we have been condemned Churchill said.
 Churchill said Britain must:
 l. Cut taxes to increase the in centive to work, especially among wage earners direct.
 2. Ease up on needless and vexatious controls and interference with the flexibility of private en- terprise."-
 3. Elect government which could command national and in- ternatlonal confidence.
 Churchill made only passing re- ference to the news that Russia has achieved an atomic explosion. He dealt chiefly with Britains eco homie woes, which he said brought the country to predicament both serious and strange"

RADAR AIR
 DEFENSE IS OPERATING
System on Both Coasts Is Funetioning But Scope
 Is Kept Secret

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S-tR- The Air Force said today radar air defense systems are operating on both coasts of the United States and in Alaska.
 Beyond confirming their exist ence, however, the Air Force de- clined to give any details on the radar stations along the northwest and northeast coastal areas.
 Operation of the Pacific North west system was first disclosed in Seattle on Monday by newspaper reporters and Rep. Jackson (D- Wash who made tour of defense posts The Air Force, in response to questions today, said a similar setup is working in the northeastern area.
 Although there was no direct indication of the scope and eff ciency of the radar spotting areas in detecting possible sneak ap- proach of hostile planes, it is sig nificant that the Air Force refers to them only as systems.
 Air Force experts recently have emphasized that there is a decided difference between a system and 8 true network. A network, they explained, is solid fence of radar stations, with their range so over Tapped that any air craft coming across it would be detected.
 A system can be a network with holes in it--that is it is made up of radar units for guarding only certain areas.
 The radius of one system does not necessarily. reach out to that of the next system.

By GLENN ENGLE

DETROIT, Sept. 28.-lR-Weary negotiators worked furiously today to write a Ford contract and head off a strike before a midnight deadline on bargaining.
 Unconfirmed reports from the conference table indicated Ford had offered company-paid pensions at the age of 65. It was also reported that an unusual two-and-a-half year contract was in the making.
 Some 30 shirt sleeved negotia- tors for the CIO United Auto Work CTS and Ford Motor Co. battled for last-minute gains. There were frequent recesses while each side rushed out to caucus on points at issue.
 Talks had been going on without let-up since 9 pm. last night.
 If new contract is not signed by midnight, the JAW has threat ened quick strike action. Ford's 1l5,000 hourly workers are stand ing by.
 The reported Ford offer, coupled with Social Security payments would give retired workers between $50 and $l00 monthly in pensions Retirement would be required at age 68, but workers with 30 years service would have the option of retiring at 60, it was reported.

 VASHINGTON-For three years a running filibuster has been going on to keep the fair employment practices bill from coming up on the Senate floor. But after 2,000 pages of testimony, the weary talk athon was temporarily ended-with- out fanfare-when the bill was discharged by the Senate Labo. Committee.
 This is the most controversial of all the civil-rights legislation and is certain to touch off another fili- buster as soon as it reaches the Senate floor. All that is holding it up now is the Democratic high command-still undecided whether to bring up civil rights at the tail end of this session while the Sena- tors are too tired to talk and in mood to go home, or to save civil rights until the 1850 election year when it will be more potent politi- cally.
 The last words of the three-year filibuster against the fair employ ment practices bill were said behind closed doors. Starting off, the man who blocked the bill at the pre- vious session, Senator Forrest Don- nell of Missouri, sputtered: Drew

 We have made a proposal. to the union setting forth the willing ness of United States Steel to pay as it's share of the costs of con- tra utory programs for insurance and pensions to be negotiated with the union up to an average of four cents an hour for insurance and six cents an hour for pensions"
 The corporation proposal also called for the unions agreement on extending the present contract for one year until April 30 l951.
 Hairless statement made no men, ton of how the steelworkers reacted to the company offer. However, President Philip Murray of the union released a statement at the same time saying:
