SUMMONED TO AID BILL Witness Was Called by Friends of Voigt Measure Prohibiting Sale of Product. Dr. E. V. MeCollum of Johns Hop- kins University, whose testimony has been’ relied upon by proponents of the Voigt anti-filled milk bill, during cross-examination before a Senate subcommittee . admitted yesterday that filled milk was not deleterious, and that it was a healthful product, provided it was used in such combi- nation with other foods that it would not interfere with a satisfactory diet. He admitted there was noth- ing poisonous about it. Under ex- |amination, the statement was made by Dr. McCollum that skimmed milk, which is used in making filled milk, contains all the food value of whole milk except that it has less of the so-called “vitamine A." In a direct statement (o the com- mittee prior to submitting to cross- examination. Dr. McCollum criticized the physical development of Ameri- caj saying that it was below par. 'We need to do oetter in the da- velopment of both children and adults.” he said. “A properly con- stituted diet will produce the results desired.” The commen diet of Americans, Dr. McCollum sald, was a complete fail- ure in animal nutrition and quite suf- ficlent to cause the undevelopment found. This diet, he said, consisted generally of bread, milk, rolled Wwheat, meats, potatoes andesugar. It should be modified by the inclusion of “protective” foods, he sald, the principal of which was milk. He de- clared the people did not drink enough milk. The second protective food upon which he laid emphasis was the leafy vegetables. He said he opposed the introduction into the homes of a substitute for milk, which looks like milk, referring to his op- position to filled milk—made of skim- med milk and vegetable olls. Dr. Eugene Aggers. an_economist olumbia University, New York, appearing earlier in the day, told the makes a real economic contribution the country—giving an outlet for a tre- mendous amount of skimmed milk— a valuable food—which otherwise would be lost. He insisted that in the long run the filled milk industry would be a benefit to the dalry in- dustry, and woul tend to stabilize the latter.

'SUTHERLAND ENDS PLEA N SHP CAS Tells Hague Tribunal U. S. Requisitioned Norwegian Vessels as War Measure. BY LEOPOLD ALETRINO. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1922, AMSTERDAM, August 4.—Former Senator Sutherland, chief counsel for the United States before The Hague tribunal in the case arising out of the seizure of Norwegian ships by the United States in 1917, in his clos- ing argument today emphasized the fact that the United States had done nothing more than requisition ships in the course of construction, and had only taken them over and com- pelled the shipbuilders to finish the work. Replies to Court's Query. Asked by the court whether the laws of the United States could com- pel a citizen to do certain work, Sen- ator Sutherland said they could not, but stated that during the war the government had the right to order citizens to do anything that was necessary Lo the safety of the state. He showed by several documents that neither the United States Ship- ping Board nor the Emergency Fleet Corporation had ever that they had requisitfoned contract: for ships. The competency to sus- pend or cancel agreements, said Sen- ator Sutherland, is_reserved to the President.

Only for Period of War. Coursel for Norway had advanced the argument that Norwegian ships could be seized only for the period of. the war. Such a seizure, Senator Sutherland contended, was not suf- ficient because the United States did pot know whether or not it would want the ships after the war for the purpose of occupying part of Ger- many or to help carry home the | 2,000,000 American soldlers sent to France. It was necessary, he assert- ed, for the United States to possess title to these ships. ORDERED TO VIRGIN ISLANDS. Lieut. Henry M.
