are archaic" and should be re-
viSed.
Theoretically, it is now Illegal

legal exemptions have been
granted to certain types of COM

Health Test
Considered

The Health Department Is
considering a requirement that
all restaurant employees under
go a complete physical exami-
nation before beginning such
work.
DR.. Daniel L. Finucane. Dis
trict health director, told a
special House District subcom-
mittee today that he and his
aides have not yet determined
whether these examinations
would be required by law or
urged as q voluntary practice
to protect customers health.
DR.. Finucane told the COM
mittee investigating the Health
Department that q regulation
requiring a blood test for syph-
ills and chest x-rays was re-
scinded in September, 1857.
THE examinations being
performed we're not effective
and of no value" he said.
DR.. Finucane explained that
the blood test and X-ray were
of little help in detecting food
borne diseases. He also said
that the tests gave a false
feeling of security" and that
health officials had no assur-
ance the person examined did
not become infected with a
disease the day after the
examination.
However. members of the
subcommittee drew from DR..
Finucane the admission that it
would probably be better to
have some kind of examination
than no physical check at all.
1T might be desirable" DR..
Finucane answered. He then
explained that the department
was now studying the problem.
The Health Department di-
rector also was questioned on
how elevation of the division of
mental health to full bureau
status would help the mentally
i'll. He replied that such a
change would consolidate all
mental health activities under
one bureau, increase efficiency
and promote closer co-opera-
ton.
