If Frozen Shrimp
Lose Weight, Don't
Blame the Seller

If frozen shrimp lose weight

lcannot be accused of short weight.
Corporation Counsel Vernon e.
West has informed the Commis-
Isioners.
The question was put to- the
Corporation Counsel by J. Thomas
Kennedy, District Director Of
weight, measures and markets.
Mr.. West said there are many
natural changes in foodstuffs that
may effect their weight between
1.-THE time they are sold and the
time they are eaten. He added:
Since the amount of dehydra-
ltion occurring in shrimp is in
f1uenced by the rate at which it
fis thawed. the only method by
which the seller could insure net
weight after thawing would be to
require from the purchaser q COM
Imitment with respect to the rate
lat which the commodity should

Redskins in so Form
After ) Good Periods
In Defeat by Lions
By Lewis T. Atchison

The Redskins aren't back where
they left off last year, when they
won only three games and lost
nine, but they're headed that way
after blowing their National Foot
ball League debut against the
Lions, 35-17, before 28.976 fans
yesterday in Detroit.
1t was a tight ball game for
three quarters, with the Redskins
threatening to bring home a new
Lion skin for the den. Then came
the flashback to 1850 as the Red
skins lapsed into their old, erratic
ways and literally blew the duke.
Coach Herman Ball said he'll
make some changes in the line
up before next Sundays home
debut against the New York
Giants. but it's doubtful If moving
men around will bring about the
necessary reform. There's nothing
wrong with the team that a little
headwork by the players wouldn't
cure. Individually. they blundered
into defeat. and rockies weren't
wholly to blame.
Penalty Costly to Tribe.
The turning point Of the game
was a U-turn for the Redskins.
They couldn't score from Detroit'sI
5-yard line and the Lions took thel
ball on their own 20-yard mark
after a fourth-down pass wasl
batted down by Leon Hart in the
end zone. Four plays later the
Lions were forced to punt, but the
Redskins were penalized for hold
ing on the play and that putt
Detroit back in business. The
Lions went 80 yards on three plays
being set back to their 20I
for holding-with Layne's 47-yardI
strike to Bob (Hunchy) Hoern-
schemeyer, doing most Of the
damage.
