FEN HERALD AND NEWS thirdly ls' 1845 WEST GARNERS APPOINTMENTS 111 CONGRESS By WILLIAM E. LOWELL WASHINGTON. Jan. 13 () The west was riding high as the 79th congress inched through its first business week. In committee assignments so tar announced the west claimed two new senate chairmanships Murray (D-Mont.) for . labor and education, O'Mahoney (D Wyo.) for Indian affairs: whiie Thomas (D-Utah) shifted from education to military affairs. It also placed Rep. Anderson (D-N.M.) on the house ways and means committee. Reps. Gilles pie (R-Colo.) and Horan (R Wash.) on appropriations. Most others found themselves strate gically assigned to aid their states' interests. President Roosevelt presented a budget that seemed to meet the needs of most western activ ities, including $44,000,000 for reclamation. But he also re newed his suggestion for water resource development on a basin-wide basis, which isn't too happy a prospect for most west ern members. Westerners forced a postpone ment of increases in grazing fees and proposed to look into the necessity for the change, but lost their fight against OPA ceilings on beef "on the hoof." Some were consoled by the be lief that the new ceilings were not so bad as had been expect ed. The rivers and harbors bill came back to the senate con taining several needed projects to fit western harbors for the new, heavier-type vessels and minus the item which blocked approval of the half-million doU lar program last session. This was the proposal of Rep. Elliott CD-Calif.) to waive the reclama ' tion law's 160-acre limitation for the central valley project. Twenty-nine of the 43 west ern house members cast a fu tile vote against the bill to re create the Dies committee to investigate un-American affairs.

Bang's Disease in Cattle May Affect Public Health During recent . months the problem of Bang's disease in dairy cattle has shifted from one only of economic import ance to the dairy industry to one which may also affect the public health, according to a statement issued by Lee Holli day, president . of the Oregon Dairy association, and Antone Larson, president of the Oregon Dairy Manufacturer's associa tion. All reasonable precautions arc being taken in order that dairy products will meet standards af fording safety to the health of the consumer, however, and the following program has been pro posed. A complete pasteurization program for all milk and dairy products which would include food products containing milk, manufactured in Oregon or else where, has been suggested. This appears to be impossible as the war production board re cently released a statement, say ing that equipment for such a program cannot be obtained be fore at least one year after all hostilities have ceased. Recognition must also bo given, say the officers of the two statewide dairy organiza tions, to the plight of small dairymen who are selling raw milk from herds that may bo considered disease free under the most rigid interpretation of that term. It is therefore sug gested that all milk and cream sold in Oregon in the bottle trade be either pasteurized or produced by carefully controlled clean herds and that all butter, ice cream, cottage cheese and milk drinks and fountain con coctions be pasteurized. it is also suggested by these organizations that herd testing laws and procedures be stepped up to the limit of available in spection and veterinarian serv ice. Herd testing laws are now being carefully rewritten and administrative policies outlined with the purpose in mind of doing everything possible to control Bang's disease and tin dulant fever at the source. Recent surveys indicate a wide variation in sanitary levels throughout the state of Ore gon. It is therefore believed im perative that a state standard for fluid milk be established below which no city ordinance will be permitted to go, accord ing to the released statement. It is further suggested that both the public and the indus try may be better served if leg islation is enacted to bring about a better correlation be tween the state board of health and the department of agricul ture. The department is now en forcing sanitary laws covering all eating houses, but it is felt by these dairy organizations, that this activity should be transferred t o the board o f health, since the serving of food to the public is purely a health problem.
