LA CROSSE TRIBUNE AND LEADER-PRESS Friday Evening, September 12, 1941 PAGE SEVEN Side Glances By Galbraith Selectee Released, Paid ft kT I L-V- 4i 1 'ii 'ii i i 1 -t jr 1 Dried Skim Milk Regulation Order Goes To Mcnu*tt Court Orders He Give Findings Justifying Action Taken St. Louis. iff) A federal regulation defining and setting a standard of quality for dried skim milk was remanded to Federal Security Administrator Paul V. Mcnu*tt by the United States circuit court of appeals yesterday for findings on the basis of his action in promulgating the The regulation was issued by Mcnu*tt under the food and drug act, which provides that the administrator may establish "a reasonable definition and standard of identity and a reasonable standard of "quality" for any food whenever in his opinion such action will "promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers." A petition for a review of the order was filled with the court of appeals by the Twin City Milk Producers' association, the Des Moines Cooperative Dairy, the American Dry Milk Institute, and the National Cooperative Milk Producers' federation. They contended the regulation should be declared invalid because the administrator had failed to set out the purposes for which the order was promulgated.

The court of appeals, retaining jurisdiction in the case, gave Mcnu*tt 30 days in which to submit findings in justification of the Urges Improved Physical Exams In U. S. Schools Would Correct Defects Not Being Found In Selective Service Madison, Wis. iff) Lieut. Col.

Albert N. Baggs, of the national selective service department, told the Wisconsin Medical society today that complete physicial examinations of youths in school would correct defects and do much to build up the nation's manpower. Col. Baggs urged the schools to adopt a system of physical tests based on selective service standards, with a follow-up by faculty members to see that recommendations were carried out. He referred to his proposal as one of "pre-habilitation." Could Be Remedied The speaker said much of the criticism concerning rejection of prospective di-aftees was caused by misunderstanding of rigid army requirements and that many of those rejected suffered merely from handicaps that could be remedied.

He added: "The question of pre-habilitation is one that interests every family physician and every dentist, inasmuch as the selectee is asked to consult his family physician and arrange, if financially able, to have his remedial defects corrected, and to carry to the examining board a personal statement to the effect that he has voluntarily done this and a statement from his physician or dentist that they have to the best of their ability remedied defective conditions. Raps Food Cutting "It is the desire of national headquarters, and particularly of the medical division, that organized medicine and dentistry pursue the role of leadership in this matter. Speaking at a sectional meeting of the society's centennial convention, Dr. T. L.

Squier, of Milwaukee, desicribed as "pernicious bunk" the practice of cutting out all foods that give a positive skin reaction to allergic persons. Other physicians taking part in the discussion agree that withholding essential foods from a child, merely because of a skin reaction, could do more harm than would be produced by such things as hay fever and asthma. Outgrow Hay Fever Dr. Squier said many persons would outgrow hay fever, and he envisioned the possibility of some sort of "convalescent serum" to develop "anti-bodies," which prevent the pernicious element in pollen being united with tissues of the 'nose and chest. The serum would be taken from persons who had outgrown allergy to pollen.

"Unfortunately we do not yet Rigid Rules For Drill Teams In Legion's Parade Loose Threads, Buttons May Cost Title; Keep Dirt, Dust Away By CHRIS EDMONDS Milwaukee iff) Cleanliness, tis said, is next to godliness. It'll go a long way, too, in helping to win the senior drum and bugle corps competition at the 23rd annual national American Legion contest here next week. Considerable drumming and bugling, coupled with maneuvering calculated to put a Hollywood chorus to shame, will be needed also. But the uniformity of haircuts and the number of loose threads or buttons can well cost a corps the championship. That haircut reference is no idle remark, either.

So stiff is the competition in this, the Legion's highlight contest, that a corps whose members are negligent in tonsorial diligence is apt to lose a point. And a point in this affair well-nigh can be fatal. Dust Watched A fresh shave goes without saying. So does a clean shirt and an unspotted necktie. But when they get down to passing out demerits for an unbuttoned button, an unevenly polished shoe or a speck of dust on a puttee, that's getting tough.

And that's exactly what they do. You can take the word of O. W. (Wally) Rolfe, of Milwaukee, general chairman- of the convention contests committee, for it. "This is the strictest competition in the world," he said.

"One button not completely fastened can lose a corps a fraction of a point So can a loose thread on a uniform. And dust! Boy, they're death on that." To safeguard against the latter menace, Rolfe and his assistants have gone to some pains at the Marquette university stadium where the corps will compete all day Sept. 15 for $2,350 in prize money and a pair of traveling trophies. The stadium is located in the Menomonee river valley, with a high plateau towering behind the stands on one side. A city playground, (blackstop surfaced) occupies the top of the tableland.

Not Prima Donnas The corps will report at the playground, some 100 feet above the football field. Ordinary mortals, to reach the arena, must travel by foot a graveled road around the end of the stadium between its walls and the edge of the plateau. Not so the drum corps members. Rolfe has ordered a sturdy wooden ramp built from the edge of the playground downward over the stadium wall. At the top will be 7' frrriTiviWrfniirjifrWniiiireidftitMlfiiiili.

Down it will tramp the No Eastern Oil Shortage. Report; Davies Retorts There Is, Rules Stand AT THE Washington (JP) In the face of a senate committee's report that the east has a sufficient gasoline supply for motorists, the defense petroleum coordination office made no move today to lift restrictions on sale of motor fuel. Acting Petroleum Coordinator Ralph K. Davies said he stood pat on his previous appraisal of the situation, adding that "the necessity for public cooperation continues." "To the coordinator's office, the admittedly low condition of petroleum stocks on the east coast continues to mean shortage and the necessity for appropriate action," Davies declared after the committee released its conclusions yesterday. Stressing that the report was merely a preliminary one, Senator Maloney (D-Conn), subcommittee chairman, had asserted that "the shortage, as we see it, is a shortage of surplus and not a shortage of products, or a lack of facilities to transport them." The senate group saw no dan ger of a lack of fuel for domestic heating or for operating defense industries, and said that "with proper conservation motorists should find it possible to acquire the gasoline and oil products which they need." Present restrictions on gasoline sales along the eastern seaboard include nightly closing of filling stations, and a retail gasoline supply reduced 10 per cent below the July level.

The curtailment program was invoked after Harold Li. Ickes, petroleum coordinator, foresaw an eastern shortage as an aftermath of the transfer of 50 American tank ships to Britain. The tankers formerly carried oil from gulf ports to east coast terminals. Reliable sources declared today that unless Ickes and other officials removed the sales restrictions, the senate committee would resume its public hearings to find out why. The committee remarked, however, that it did not feel that the subject of the nightly filling station curfew fell within its province.

r2 in mf 30 LjFxI VJ 0 have any method of being able to measure the development of competitors, free of dust and fresh for the fray. You'd think, from that, that these boys are prima donnas. They are, after a fashion, but don't let it be mentioned in their presence. Every member of a competing corps must be a full fledged Le-gionnaire and the AEF didn't gain its reputation a decade ago for anything resembling mollycoddling. It will take 15 judges to superT vise the competition between the 40 corps expected to participate here.

Each will earn his salt, too, or Wally Rolfe has never seen a drum corps contest. Time Limits In the preliminary contest each corps is allotted not less than six and one-half minutes nor more than seven minutes on the field. During this period it must be in motion with all its musical equipment not less than four and one-half minutes. In the finals, after the field has been narrowed down to 11 corps, plus the present national champion which enters automatically, each corps must be on the field a minimum of 13 minutes and a maximum of 15. Ten minutes in motion is required.

That's cutting it pretty thin and the timing by the corps is not a matter of guesswork. Responsible for it is the drum major, who is not even considered a part of the corps under the rules. He's not even allowed to twirl his batonl While on the field a corps must march at a cadence of 128 to 132 steps to the minute, with five checks by officials during the finals, even a slight deviation, such as an increase of two steps a minute, costs a corps four points. Marching and maneuvering can be expensive, too. Errors for which the judges are instructed to be alert include bad breaks from formation, turning of heads, false starts and stops, anticipation of turns and sagging of columns at turns.

That's just a few. Can't Drop Equipment Bugles must be in exact pitch, with intonation and articulation perfect. Drumming, including the height and angle of drums, does not pass unnoticed. Dropping of equipment is costly, but stopping to pick it up is inexcusable. Separate judges are assigned to allocate points under "general ef anti-bodies in an individual," Dr, Squier said.

"It is a fascinating conception to look forward to, of being able to tell when our treat COMFORT GIVING KruGjdn ment has produced sufficient de ense army of anti-bodies. The door is wide open here for some smart man." Tribute To Crownhart Henry F. Helmholz, of the Uni Children Give Thanks To 'Invading9 Troops Winnfield, La. iff) Soldiers here were impressed by the generosity of school children who provided them with showers, cold drinks, Ehoeshines and even let them ride ponies.

Sunday Services The convention paused today to necessary to give definite aid to the division include, under maneuvers, such headings as simple or complex, interesting or monotonous, sloppy or snappy. Under music, the judges are asked to score whether the selections are OMDV, easy, intricate, pleasing, many or few.

The quality of the competition among the senior is illustrated in results of the "contest last year at Boston. Winner and present national champion is the Commonwealth Edison post, of Chicago, with a rating of 94.72 in the 1940 contest. Second place went to Stratford, with 92.740, but only .75 of a point separated from the sixth place. $1,250 First Prize Following Stratford were East Orange, N. with 92.475 points; Henry H.

Houston post, of Philadelphia, 92.32; Miami, 92.125, and Hagensack, N. 91.865. First place in the contest is worth $1,250 and the Russell G. Creviston and the Miami traveling trophies. Second prize is $700, third, $300, and fourth, $100.

Eight other contests will be held during the convention, with prizes totaling $5,500 in all.
