Major sections of the act go Into effect June 36, 1939. Some proTlslons, howeter, took af fect the dav the nresldent signed the bill giving the food and dmj administration power to act against such prepsratlona aa the elixir of sulphanllamlde which took a heavy toll laet fall. Now new drugs must undergo full testing by food and drug chemists before going on aale. The new law gives the food and drug administration authority over any drugs which are dangerous to health when used aa directed on the label. The same goes for cosmetics, never before under control or reg- Phone 775 ulation by tha federal government. Only articles unaffected by the new regulations are toilet soaps and cer tain hair dyea. Appliance! Are Included "Body builders" and "scientific appliance" will oome under the law next year. They will be subjected to the same standard and requirements set up for drugs. False claims for exercisers, reducers, developers, and so on, will be subject to adminis tration action. During the present year the ad ministration has 00 Inspectors for standards of contents for all foods, which will be placed in effect next June. A law of 1923 defined the standard content of butter, and the agriculture department has set up standard grading for most fruits and vegetables. Of all remaining foods. only canned goods have come under the supervision of the food and drug administration. Because of Its new duties, the ad ministration expects a larger appro priation from congress for the next fiscal year. The present staff of 742 Inspectors, scientists and admlnistra. tlve workers will be unable to deal with the new powers on the admin titration's present budget of 1.750,' 000. said Dr. Paul B. Dunbar, assist ant chief. For the administration of the seven laws . under Its Jurisdiction, the agency has divided the country Into three districts, with headquarters at New York, Chicago and San Fran Cisco. Besides these offices, there are 10 laboratory and Inspection stations scattered over the -country. U'ork In Three Groups The work has been divided Into three main classes: 1. Factory Inspection, to see that plants are kept sanitary. The ad ministration has 60 Inspectors for sea food canning plants alone, 2. The seizure and Inspection of samples of products of all kinds. The samples are purchased by the administration. Its 114 Inspectors of foods and drugs collected 63,594 samples In 1037. They were then Investigated by the agency's 105 chemists, 12 bacteriologists, 10 phar macologists, eight micro-analysts, seven medlcAl officers and two vet erinarians. Their reports determine whether legal action shall be taken against shippers or manufacturers of the products. 3. Port Inspection of Imported foods and drugs, especially tea and milk. In 1037, more than 35,000 ship ments were Inspected and 8.334 were refused entry. When the first fed eral tea act was passed In 1633, the United States was rapidly becoming a dumping ground for the world's worst tea. Nowadays, little tea la refused entry for falling below qual- i lty standards. Two generations of government tea-tisters have made the strict American standards well known all over the world. The legal arm oi the administra tion Is a division of the department of Justice under Assistant Attorney Oeneral Brian McMahon.

SOVIET DISSOLVES JEWISH PROBLEM BUI BARS EXILES Virtual Ban On Immigration Puts Up Barrier Against Entrance Of Persecuted Jews From Cither Lands By Norman B. Deuel (United Press Staff Corre&ppndent) MOSCOW (UP) The Soviet Union has solved Its Jewish problem, an heritage of czarlst racial oppression, but offers no haven for the perse cuted Jews of the world because of the present policy of virtual prohl bltlon of Immigration. All foreigners are suspect In Russia and except for tourists, who are carefully checked by rigid visa re qulrements, Jew and Gentile alike are not welcomed in large numbers as settlers. Tills U both because of a fear of capitalist-Imperialist spies and wreck ers and because the varied races, languages and cultures of the coun try already provide a sufficient problem of education and assimila tion Into the structure of socialism. The census of 1028 counted 2,001 000 Jews In the U.S.S.R. exclusive of central Asiatic, Caucasian, Crl' mean and Georgian Jews, who were listed separately. This Is the latest figure available, since the census of 1037 was discarded as having been "wrecked." tkrnlne Percentage Highest Of these, 60 percent lived In the Ukraine, 21 percent in Russian Soc ialist Federal Soviet Republic and 13 percent In White Russia. The ma jority In the Ukraine Is explained by czarlst regulations, under which Jews were not permitted to live be yond the "line of settling," Although wealthy Jew sometimes obtained residence permits elsewhere. and girls fook out prostitutes' "yellow tickets" solely to gain an education. movement was rlgldl restricted. The distribution of Jews todoy probably is more widespread than In 1026. and the population has grown In proportion. They have been absorbed Into the social and econo mic scheme without friction. Inter- marriage with other races U general, no distinctions are raised and religion plays a declining role. A featured picture In the Moscow an tl -religious museum Is a collective farm scene showing Jews raising swine. The trend of distribution, although no recent figures are available, Is shown by the fact that between 1933 and 1037 the Jewish population of the Ukraine Increased by six percent while in the R3.F& R., beyond the pre -revolutionary "line." It Increased 18 percent. The geographical distri bution continued at a slower pace between 192 and 1939 during which the Jews In the R.8 PB.R. Increased by 7 percent as compared with 3.3 percent )n the Ukraine and 0.5 per cent In White Russia. Entire Situation Changed The revolution, as with all groups, brought great changes In the social structure of the Jewish population Merchants, who numbered one-third of the Jewish population, of course disappeared. , Jew Lb h Industrial workers Increas ed from 16 percent to sa persent of the Jewish population. The IS per cent of pre-revolutlonary working Jews Included 11 percent small art lzans and 4 percent workers In large- scale Industry. The present-day 33 percent industrial Jews are almost all In large-scale Industry. With restrictions removed after the revolution, the number of Jewish of fice employes had Increased 300 per cent by the middle of the second five-year plan. The term "employe" Includes work ers In the state apparatus, state and co-operative trade specialists of all kinds and teachers and scientific workers. Although Jews hold many Import ant official positions, only three have achieved great prominence In gov ernment. These are M. M. Lltvlnov, commissar of foreign affairs; L. M. Kaganovlch, commissar of heavy In dustry and of railroads, and bis brother, M. M. Kaganovlch, commis sar of defense Industry. Affected hy Industrialization Orowth of the Jewish proletariat was a natural phenomenon as a part of the. reconstruction of Soviet eco nomics and Increased tempo of in dustrialization. The 300 percent growth of rurai Jews to the point where Jewish farmers number 7 percent of the Jewish population by "planned" mi gration that Is, conscription. This was carried out under the Committee for Land Colonization of Jews organized by the Council of Nationalities of the TSIK of the 3 U.S.S.R. I Besides mass migrations there was organization of local collective farms In the Ukraine, White Russia and the western part of the R-S.P.S.R. and most Important, the setting aside for Jewish settlers 10 years ago of Bl rob Id J an, one of the richest dis tricts of the far eastern province of the X&2R,. Tli ere are some 300.000 Jews In collective farms, Including Bl rob Id Jan. Rich Are Ret Atlde Btrobidjan was made a Jewish autonomous region In 1934. Its land Is fertile and It Is rich in gold, Iron, coal, asbestos, graphite and other minerals. - During the 10 years since Its set tlement a clothing factory lime plant, wood working factory, five brick kilns and scores of minor state enterprises have Deen launched. In the first six months of 1937, Biro btdjan's Industry produced a value of 5.110,000 roubles. Industrial co-oper ative societies of the region turned out 37.000.000 roubles worth of goods In 1937. The Jewish collective farms of the region have been a 1 toted 135,000 acres of land, of which In 1937. 95,000 acres were sown. Twenty thousand Jews migrated to Blrobldjan during its 10 years of de velopment. The capital, Blrobldjan, is a town with large buildings, a "park of culture and rest" and State Jew ish theater. Fifteen thousand children attend the 130 schools of the province. Northwest Lumber Shipments Decline PORTLAND. July 29. (AP) Lum ber shipments from the Columbia river for the first six months of 1038 were 40 per cent more than Puget Sound, but SO per cent less than British Columbia, the Pacific Lumber Inspection bureau reported today. River shippers dispatched 449.117.- 334 board feet of lumber compared with 316.950.270 for Puget Sound and S82.e24.044 for the Canadian dis trict. The entire northwest district suf fered a 20 per cent decline from last yesr. although the British Columbia figures were up 8 per cent. Holman Reports Campaign Costs WASHINGTON, July 30.

Central NEW RICH SHE BUI ITS E By Sam Jackson AP Feature Writer BERKELEY. Calif. They've struck It rich again in California. This strike Is Just across the valley from the gold flelda of '49, and It yields, not nuggete, but fossils. University of California scientists have come across an ancient river bed where thousands- of prehistoric animals were mired In quicksand and perished. Solidified and tilted on edge by some later convulsion of nature, the resulting sandstone now streaks across the landscape as five-foot wide "vein," and Is being mined just as the Argonauts mined gold-bearing quartz. The animal remains are probably 7,000,000 years old, aays B. A. Stlrton, curator of mammals in the univer sity's museum of paleontology. This puts them In the pliocene period. about 6,000,000 years before man la assumed to have appeared. Excavations already have shown that the California of those days wis Inhabited by a glant-tusked masto don, a sort of big brother to the present elephant, and also by a giant camel.

This branch of the family has died out. Other dog and camel types as well aa birds and various small animals have left their skeletons In the sands. First hint of Important deposits came In 1926, when Dr. B. L. Clark picked up prehistoric teeth on the site. The discovery was not followed up, and it was only when King Ar thur Rlchey. a research student, waa assigned to work there that Its full significance was revealed. The location Is on the vaat, sprawl ing slopes of Mount Diablo, but tha exact place Is a secret. Souvenir hunt ers have ruined many aclentlflc ex cavations, and Dloblo Is only an hour's drive from the 1,800,000 pop ulation of the San Francisco-Oakland area. The WPA haa assigned workers to cut out and clean the fosslllied bones preparatory to scientific study. , More Tuna Appear Off Oregon Coast PORTLAND.
