Inability of a labor camp cook to convert the substitute Tiours into palatable bread led the Ital lans in .a railway camp near ZUlah to dump the substitute flours Into a hole In-the ground in an attempt to, evade tha regulations. When a report of the proceeding reached County Food Admin Istrator O. A. Fechter he sent John Mecbtet, district supervisor, to make an Investigation.
