Federal Food. Drug and Cosmetic
Act did not state clearly enough
that refusal to admit a food and
drug inspector constituted a viola.
ton Of that Act. Such refusal to
permit an inspector, would Of

other safeguards provided in the
Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act.
Although certain that only the
very few would take advantage Of
the laxness in the wording of the
law. President Eisenhower iE his
message on the State Of the Union,
urged Congress to restore unequiv-
ocally the inspector power Of the
