The Distri'

IN A SERIES of laboratories spread
i over nearly half a floor of the
Municipal Center, a group of chemists,
psychologists and technicians are at
work seven days week safeguarding
one phase of the public's health.
It is the Bureau of Laboratories of
the District Health Departmental
other words, the bureau of food in
spection.
Feeding Washington and the thou
sands who stream into the city each
day is a tremendous job.
According to the Washington Res
taurant Association, a greater percent
age of people "eat out" here than in
any comparable city in the country
More than 2,100 restaurants, taverns,
lunch counters and snack bars serve
more than IL million meals day, and
thousands of youngsters eat in 118
school cafeteriaS. In addition, more
than 5000 establishments ranging
from groceries and bakeries, meat and
poultry markets, wholesale houses and
produce markets to bOttling works,
handle a mountainous volume of food
and drink for home consumption.
It all demands constant vigilance
against contamination and results in
the food inspection division, under the
direction of Walter w. Burdette, max
ing upward of 100000 inspections year
to make sure that proper sanitation and
quality standards are maintained.

These are clerks, track walkers,
shop workers and others who
do not actually run the trains.
But they are the vast majority
of all rail employees. A strike by
them would halt the trains.
On December 20, Gen. Eisen-
hover issued an order creating
the EMERGENCY board. That
action came after the workers
had voted to strike following a
breakdown Of Government
mediation efforts. The Presi-
dents order postponed a strike
at least so days.

British Probe Theory
OF Sabotage in Crash
OF JET That Killed IS
sy The Assosiessd Pres.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-A special
investigation began today into
theories that sabotage, felled q
British Comet jetliner which
carried 35 persons to death OF
Elba last Sunday.
The British Overseas Always
Corp, owners Of the plane, dis
closed the action with q report
that q week-long investigation
has shown no evidence Of struc-
tural weakness in Its seven other
Comets. grounded as q pre-
caution.
1.-THE possibility Of sabotage
cannot be overlooked, said q
statement issued by BOAC Chair
man Sir Miles Thomas. "and
special security investigators are
being sent to points along the
route to the Far East"
Some VIII Fly Tomorrow.
At the same time, Sir Miles
announced the BOAC will put
some Comets back into the air
Monday for training fights. No
passengers will be carried until
all in the company's feet have
been fully inspected.
The possibility of a bomb in
the luggage hold appeared one
of the things to be studied in
the Comet crash. The BOAC
said earlier this week the plane
carried D little more than 100
pounds of freight. as well as
baggage and mail. and it planned
to check this extra cargo in case
some unauthorized object" was
struggled aboard. The main
wreck of the Comet has been
spotted on the sea bed in 400
feet of water. but has not been
recovered.
Agents went to work on the
sabotage angle in Beirut, Leba-
non. The Lebanese civil aviation
directorate announced that the
BOAC had asked for similar
studies at all other points
touched by the Comet on It's last
run from Singapore.
Second Crash Spurs RumOr.
Talk Of possible sabotage grew
here after Thursdays crash Of
a Philippines Airline Cloudmaster
in Rome's outskirts, killing is.
That plane. like the Comet. came
down just 71a hours after max
ing a stop at Beirut. In each
case witnesses told Of explosions
lin the air from the Comet and
on the ground from the Cloud
master.
Elba'S chief surgeon said the
victims recovered from the Comet
had been killed by conclusion
and were already dead when they
hit the water.
BOAC Pilot Jimmy Peters. who
fiew a Comet into London from
Tokyo for the safety checkup.
said he had heard rumors in
Beirut that Britain's top secret
military intelligence was looking
into both crashes.

Five Career Diplomats Deplore

ships In Holland, Luxembourg
and Canada, and the posts Of
llndbrsecretary and special as
sistant to the Secretary Of State.
Mr.. Shaw was chairman Of the
Foreign Service personnel board
Of examiners during World War
II.
Called Vital 70 Security.
Their letter noted that aside
from the influence on opinion
abroad Of American diplomats,
the Foreign Service Is Of prime
Importance from the more Sell
fish angle Of our national
security.
1T Is upon these same repre-
sentatives that the President, the.
Secretary of State and others
engaged In formulating our for
eign policy must rely for ac-.
curate information concerning
persons and events abroad" the
letter continued.
THE conclusion has become
unacceptable for instance, that q
Foreign Service oficer who re-
ports on persons and events to
the very best Of his ability and
who makes Recommendations
which ct the time he conscien-
tiously believes to be iii tie in
terest Of the United States may
subsequently find his Loyalty and
integrity challenged and may
even be forced out Of the service
and discredited forever as a
private citizen after many years
of distinguished service.
"A premium therefore has been
put upon reporting and upon
recommendations which. are am
biguously stated or so cautiously
set forth as to be deceiving.
when such a tendency begins
its inSidious work 1t is not long
before accuracy and initiative
have been sacrificed to accept
ability and conformity"
