Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg BUREAU Out in Ohio there is a company known as Butler Products This was Food that inakes—or rather made- “soya clusively of soya beans and other It the Federal Security Agency and found to be whole- some and nutritious. To make and sell such a product might seem at first glance a harmless and, in these days of food shortage, even a rather bene- ficent ambition. But Federal bureaus are apt to take a different view of such things. Mr. Butler of Butler Food Products began to get letters. First he got one dated October 31, 1942, from the Asistant Federal Commis- sioner of the Food and Drug Administration telling | him that whatever else his product might be, it was not oleomargarine and could not be sold as oleo- margarine. But then came a letter to Mr. Butler dated | November 13, 1942, from the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue telling him that according to the analysis of the Treasury Department his product was found to be oleomargarine and that therefore he must pay a tax on it as oleomargarine and must label it ! oleomargarine. He got nowhere trying to explain his difficulties with one agency to the other. Each told him that what the other agency said or did was no concern of theirs. So, in spite of a heavy presumptive de- mand for his product, he was unable to offer it for sale. | In desperation he took the case to court to try | to get an orde: aining the Collector of Internal | Revenue. The e came before Judge Robert N. Wilkins in-the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Counsel for the Collector argued that the sections of the code under which the butter.” composed e: vegetable products was analyzed by Collector acted gave him express authority to de- | termine what was oleomargarine and to tax it, and issue a distraint against any dealer who attempted to | [sell it unless it was labeled oleomargarine, and that | therefore the court was without power to interfere with the exercise of this authority. When the court in- quired whether all the arguments advanced for the Collector could not also be advanced in support of the absolutely contrary order of the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, it was admitted that they could be. The court, therefore, in its own words, “fourid itself in the position wh if it adopted those theories, it would today be obliged to sustain the order of the Collector distraining the plaintiff's product because not labeled ‘oleomargarine’ and then tomorrow might be obliged to sustain the order of the Commissioner of Food and Drugs distraining the product because it was labeled ‘oleomargarine.” " The court on March 30, last, handed down a somewhat helpless decision, saying that the Federal Security Agency charged with the administration of the Food and Drug Act “ought, if possible, to be made defendant herein or at least afforded Il\('; a party opportu#ty to come into this interests might be before the court and all parties | heard before it is determined which if either of the conflicting orders is lawful and enforceable.” i Judge Wilkins could not refrain from this more | prosaic observation: ! Such is the natural outcome of regulation | by unrestrained and uncoordinated admin- | istrative orders instead of by principles of | enacted law. When different administrative agencies are empowered by Congress to make rules and regulations applying to the same there is bound to be conflict and confusion. If such conflicting orders are absolute and must be enforced, property is in effect confiscated without compensation | and citizens are put out of business. subject-matter, S | Normal - Veterans (Cincinnati Enquirer) 1 We're not reading so much these days about mental ailments purported to result from military service. There was a day when certain social groups were telling us that virtually all the men who re-| turned from combat duty would be mental cases; that “ we'd have to treat them with studied care to bring | them back to the same bright, normal fellows lhl’,\'; were when they went away. . | It would be foolish, of course, to discount the fact that front-line service has contributed to many a| nervous or mental breakdown. But the vast majority | of the lads who are filtering back through Eastern | seaports these days are essentially the same as they | were when they sailed from those ports a couple or three years ago. They are a little older, a great deal wiser and generally more poised and self-contained. But their minds are clear and keen, their faces don’t twitch, and they don't yell “Kamerad” in their sleep. Armchair ps ago telling us ordinary citizens the things we must dnj and must not do when our soldier boys came home | from the wars. We were to be happy and smiling always. We weren’t to put too many questions. We | weren't to bring up matters which might start a flood of horrible memories in the veterans' minds. We were, in short, to act as little like we’d want to act as possible. After a few months of that treatment, they advised us, perhaps we could ask Bombardier Bill if | he'd ever shot down any Germans. And if the first l question didn't make him throw a fit, we could pursue them a little further. | The boys we talk to laugh and laugh at such | suggestions. They know they're normal and they hope we'll act as if we are. ‘They dg hayve lots of. good tales to tell, but most of them don’t think their overly thrilling.
