LEGION AFFAIR TO
POLICE RAID HIT
BY COURT ORDER MUST MEET RULES
Temporary Injunction Is Issued Against Tyndall And Beeker.
By NOBLE REED
The police department’s raiding activities, which yesterday involved a deputy prosecutor in a $10 horse
‘| race betting mystery, today ran into
new legal complications. Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox issued a temporary restraining order against Mayor Tyndall and Police Chief Beeker, preventing them from “interfering or molesting” the Democratic Social club, 542 Massachusetts ave. The order was issued on a petition filed by the Democratic club which charged that police illegally entered the club rooms seven times last week-end, lined all patrons up against a wall each time and searched them. No one was arrested. Set Hearing May 21 Hearing on the suit was set for May 21. Club officials charged that Police Chief Beeker had “threatened to break up the club” and that he was “going to continue sending police officers into the club as many times as necessary.” A similar injunction suit, brought by the “Lucky 13” club on N. Pennsylvania st. also is pending in ecircuit court and will be heard next week. Meanwhile, the question of whether Samuel Blum, deputy prosecutor, bet and lost $10 on the horses, and whether Harry Campbell, professional bondsman, “booked” any such bet, will be aired in municipal court 3 next Tuesday. Continue Campbell Case Campbell, a member of Campbell & Reeder across the street from the police station, was arraigned yesterday on a charge of keeping a gaming house as a result of a raid on his office Wednesday. The case was continued until Tuesday by Judge John MeNelis. Police said the raid followed Mr. Blum’s going into and coming out of the Campbell office, and furthermore, they charged that among the race betting slips confiscated in the raid, two bore the initials “S. B” Mr. Blum won't talk. He wouldn't even say whether he won or lost the het or whether he placed any bet at all. Chief Beeker has subpenaed Mr. Blum to appear as a star witness in the Campbell trial. Prosecutor Sherwood Blue, obviously angered over the incident, refused to comment but hinted he was going to inquire into the case. The implication of the deputy

WPB Cuts Luggage Styles Down to Only Seven Types
By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, May 14.—The war has put an end to tHose luxurious little fitted cases you used to dream about for* graduation and going-away presents. A strict WPB rule has whittled luggage styles down to seven basic types. The only kind of a trunk you can purchase, once the prewar,
note in a practical “hold that line” battle cry soon to be publicized. Why waste your money now, they season, on things which obviously aren't worth the price you pay? Save those restless dollars for post-war days when consumer goods will be better than ever, and less expensive.
Behind conference doors, WPB clothing experts are discussing the shape of figures to come. They call it the “body basic,” a revision of the old clothing order involving still less cloth and frills. Stylists in the know claim that the new silhouettes for milady during wartime will be just as modish as ever, despite curtailment of cloth. Simplicity will be stressed, after the frill is gone.

BOOST BOND SALE
War bond tickets for the Amerjcan Legion's all-star floor show and dance to take place May 27 in the Coliseum went on sale today at war bond booths and issuing agencies. Officials of the Legion, which is sponsoring the May war bond campaign, announced today that the show will feature two prominent movie stars, army acts and two orchestras from Camp Atterbury and Billings General Hospital at Ft. Harrison. After the show the orchestras will play for a grand march and dance. A total of 1089 box seats will be exchanged for $1000 war bond purchases, while an unlimited number of unreserved seats are available for the $18.75 bonds.
MEN ON FURLOUGHS TO GET EXTRA GAS
WASHINGTON, May 12 (U. P.). —OPA today granted special allot-| ments of gasoline, up to five gallons, to service men on leave or furloughs for three days or more. The OPA said the men could obtain special rations for personal errands for which other means of transportation are not available.

Brown Orders Vigorous Enforcement of New
Food Prices.
WASHINGTON, May 14 (U. P) — Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown has ordered vigorous enforcement of the new community price ceilings on grocery products, but] said today that he doesn’t believe an old-fashioned “crack down” will |
be necessary. “We have every reason to believe that grocers and the people will cooperate voluntarily to help make this program a success,” he said in an interview. However, he confirmed the need of an additional 1400 OPA investigators and enforcement agents, the money for which has been approved by the budget bureau and is included in a pending appropriation bill. We Need Men “If this job is to be done—we need the men to do it,” he said. The community price plan is associated with the proposed subsidization of meat, butter and coffee and the
“roll-back” of their prices next month. Brown said he did not know how far federal subsidies would have to be stretched to control the cost of living. But he made no secret of his determination to peg living costs at levels existing on Sept. 15, 1942, “This can—and must—be done,” he said. “The first subsidies will be an experiment from which we will learn many things. We'll go away as far in this direction as we have to go.”
Seeks “General Manager”
Meantime, it was understood that Brown is looking for an executive director—a ‘general manager’—who will be clothed with unquestioned powers over the operating end of OPA. The executive would replace Deputy OPA Administrator John Hamm, resigned, but would have far more power than he enjoyed.
per senator on discussion of it. As the showdown approaches, the senate has three proposals before it: 1. The 100 per cent forgiveness, or Ruml, plan. 2. George's 75 per cent forgiveness plan. 3. Ellender’s no forgiveness bill. 4. An amendment by Senator W. Lee O'Daniel (D. Tex), to ignore pay-as-you go completely but to inaugurate withholding taxes at the source on July 1 anyway. 5. An amendment by Senator Tom Connally (D. Tex), to make 1042 income taxes subject to the lower 194] rates and higher 1941 exemptions, giving those liable to taxation

The original house-approved bill wiping out 1842 tax lability for all taxpayers in the first surtax bracket and putting them on pay-as-you-go immediately. Higher brackets never would become current unless they paid two years’ taxes in one. Each proposal would retain the Ruml bill's plan of starting 20 per

Care in Buying, Preparing, Will Avert Food Poisoning
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS Food poisoning may come as the result of the presence of living germs in the food which, after the food has been eaten, grow in the bowel, or from poisons formed by the germs in the food before it is eaten. This type of food poisoning is often erroneously referred to as “ptomaine-poisoning,” when, as a matter of fact, it is doubtful if such a thing as a “ptomaine” exists. This type of food poisoning is due to

The warm weather accelerates ae the multiplication or growth | of the germs; | incomplete cook- | ing sometimes | permits the bac- | teria to survive | the preparation | of the food. 4 They multiply g vigorously in E warm milk and 4 meats particu- | Dr. Masters ..1v. The dan- | ger ous “black market” meats includes the matter of poor refrigeration, the slaughtering of sick animals, and the invasion of the meat by germs in the animals’ intestines before the organs are | removed. Rodents are frequent carriers of | a large group of germs that cause | these intestinal upsets, and are | particularly dangerous in bakeries where batches of warm filling for pies, eclairs, etc., may be left for some time.
Home-Canning Dangers
Home-canned foods may carry not only the organisms—some of which are resistant to cooking— but also the toxins which may survive brief boiling. Many amateur canners overlook the fact that the food in the center of the jar may not be as well heated as that at the outside. Food poisoning of this kind begins from two to six hours after eating the contaminated food, with severe diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping | and prostration. These symptoms subside in | about 12 hours, and are followed | by weakness, loss of appetite, and vague discomfort in the abdomen which may persist from one to | several weeks longer, If the attack follows the eating of suspicious food by a few hours, or if others exposed to the same food develop similar trouble at approximately the same time, there may be little doubt as to the nature of the upset. The food carrying the offending material may taste good and be otherwise attractive.
Avoid Giving Food
When the attack begins, the poisoning itself empties the stomach and bowel. No additional insult should be added to injury by giving a laxative, : When the intestinal tract is emnty, a dose of paregoric will help to relieve the abdominal cramping. No food should be given until nausea ceases, and then the return to a full diet should be slow, with simple, soft foods for several days. The chief need is to replace the water and salt lost from the body during the attack.
