MILK BILLS REFERENDUM
Passage of House bills 234, 370 and 371 by the recent
session ot the Orearon letnslature was a forward step to pro
tect consumers of milk and milk products from the infections
which may be transmitted from cows suffering from tuber
culosis or Bang's disease. The referendum which is being
sought through petition by certain dairymen ot the 1'ortianu
area is a backward step to remove that protection, it sum
cient signers are had to place these measures on the ballot, the
. laws wnich the legislature sought to enact cannot possibly
become effective until after the November elections in 3 940 ;
depending on the vote at that time they might never become
ettective. , ' ,
Before we eo oh it may be that this question of infection
deserves some explanation. Perhaps it needs none, but it will
do no harm to review the subject brieny.
Not all diseases which afflict animals are transmittable
to man. but too many of them are transmittable. Among these
are the two which feature this discussion. Bovine tuberculosis
becomes human tuberculosis, a disease once so devastating
that it was known as the "great white plague." Medical science
hat! reduced.its menace; But it is still a menace. Bang's disease
(of cattle or goats) becomes undulant fever, a malady dit
licult of diagnosis, more difficult of cure.
People oi this country, in general, have become rather well
educated on the subject of tuberculosis. Bang's disease (so
called In recognition ot the research ot a nineteenth century
Danish physician of that name), may be less generally under
, stood, ft would be better understood if we were to use what
was once its common designation contagious abortion. That
is not a pleasant name, but neither is it. a pleasant disease. In
cidentally, it is not only contagious, it is also infectious. Where
it concerns us, and wnere bovine tuberculosis concerns us, is
that milk from infected 'cows makes human being tubercular
or afflicts, them with undulant fever, as the case may be.
To get back to the legislative measures under discussion,
house Dills .370 and 87i cover licensing and use of grade
designations. House bill 234 requires tne pasteurization of
milk except that which is from disease-free herds. Any herd
may be made disease-free, alter wnich its product may be
sold either pasteurized or unpasteurized. The product Which
is from other than a disease-free herd must be made safe for
the people who consume it.
The petitioners, it may be guessed, are not especially con
cerned with consumer safety. And those who sign the peti
tions it is apparent, will hot be especially concerned with their
own safety. Either that, or else they do not drink milk.

There In the snow Just beyond
the monument they stood. Three
of them. They liad come from
behind the hill beyond the barren
lilac bush. And In the print of my
memory Is a picture that grows
dimmer with the years: Brenda's
face white, drawn, stricken; curi
ously unbelieving, and that bulky
figure before Her leaning on me
shovel.
"Father!" she said. There was
no surprise in her voice, merely
scorn and conviction.
"Why did you come here?;
Bruce -Temple asked roughly.
"That is a curiously irrelevant
question."

Stopped forward. Even after a
bout with a shovel in an unspeak
able business, he managed to look
Immaculate, but his appearance
was. not enhanced by the ugly
looking Luger pistol In his hand.
"Nicholas," said Eric Woolf,
"drop the little sack there."
And he pointed to a spot on the
ground. I tossed down the sack
and the third man stooped.
"No, Block." Eric put out his
hand. "Those things have u way
of going to a man's head."
He thrust his hand Into the bag
as if it were a sack of walnuts
and drew out a handful of dia
monds.
"Kismet!" he said.
Bruce Temple stood motionless
and stared woodenly at his daugh
ter. Eric stuffed the jewels into
his overcoat pocket.
"Block," he said, "we need some
rope. Is there some In the car?"
"Aber, nein." BlooR grinned as
lie drew a coil of rope from be
neath his coat. Eric smiled. "It
is a good trait - this thorough
ness." He pointed.
"Mr. Trent, first." Eric's eyes
never left Temple's face. "Then

"She is In it." Erie edged to

Block must oner have worked
In a shipping room for he made

moved towards Uremia, saw the
long knife-sear on his cheek and
knew him tor the grease-covered
median I c who' had sabotaged
Charley's plane. .
"Just like a Christmas pack
age," murmured Brenda when he
had finished binding her.
Then I hoard Erie speak rap
idly In German to Block. Block
came, fished the keys out ot my
pocket, and started for my car.
"If I'm not too curious," in
quired Uremia sweetly, "what are
you going to do with Nick's car?"
."Block will let II topple off the

plied Eric simply.
. "An accident," she said.
"Regrettable." Eric look out a

Block actually heard that last re
mark of mine but, in any case,
something seemed to bring him
up short. He considered a moment,
then turned back and went up to
Eric. There was some more gut
tural gargling between them. I
don't understand German but I
got the idea. Block was demanding
his share of the loot before he
went any farther.
"You will do as you're told,"
Eric said finally in England. His
tones were carefully measured. ,
"Warum?" asked Block very,
quietly. "For a congratulatory,
letter from Tef Fuehrer? Nein.' " I
He shook his 'head and I saw
the beginnings of a madness In
his eyes. He took a step and put ,
out one hand."-

He stiffened at the first shot,

Eric leaning down and placing his
pistol behind the fallen man's
ear. Brenda closed her eyes. The
sound of the shot was not very
loud. Block's body' straightened
spasmodically. He twitched and
lay still. .

jauntiness had gone out of him.
"Mlcnoias, you ve oecn hhkuik
for It a long time!" he said to me
as the Luger came up again.
"Woolf!" Bruce Temple's voice
cut Into the tension of the mo
ment. "You can't get away with
this."
Hint split-second of Indecision, j
that tiny moment ot cnoosing
swiftly a response to a word or
deciding not to respond was what
I hung my hat on. I had been
cuffed, kicked, bound, and shot at
and never a chance to strike back.
Now I took a deep breath, low:
ered my head, and rammed Eric.
All the magnificent fury of a rage
long pent up went into that butt.
I struck and the gun went off at
the same time. I felt the hot
powder blast on my cheek. I throw
my feet up, and jackknifed vi
ciously with my heels, but they
merely swished the air. 1 hit on
the back of my neck and the
gongs started in my head again.
Then I heard a noise, like the
hard crack of a stout stick break
ing. I rolled on my side and saw
Temple draw back. Eric sagged,
but Temple hit him again a sec
ond time. He moved slightly to
one side and let Eric fall at his
feet. And I lay there muiking
that It was almost as good'as do
ing it myself.

This r. w. U. Law Review ar
ticle is something more than just
another one of the endless series
of long-winded differences oi opin
ion among lawyers. It was written
by Arne C. Wiprud, special as
sistant to the attorney general in
charge of transportation cases for
the anti-trust division, wijiruu
the man who did much of the
spade work for the department of
justice suit against the western
railroads on charges of conspiracy
to fix rates.
"Under existing law," writes
Wiprud at the end of his exhaus
tive research into all U. S. avia
tion laws and treaties, "... the
cnnclnKinn of executive agree
ments to aifect an exchange of!
operating rights is without legal
basis. Such executive agreements,
to have legal validity, would re
quire the adoption and ratifica
tion of a treaty between the gov
ernments concerned."
If the Wiprud argument is cor
rect, the White House would have
two choices. Either to recall the
agreements and send them to the!
senate in the lorm oi treaties ior
ratification, or else ask congress
for news legislation, an amend
ment to the civil aeronautics act
nf m.tR which would cive the ad
ministration tho power to do;
what has already been done.
Arne Wiprud is not the only
lawyer in government who takes
the view that executive agree
ments permitting foreign aircraft
transport rights within the United
States are not within existing law.
