Dr MacBrido-Dexter's plan i.s ex¬ pected to be worked out in co-opera¬ tion with the health departmenUs of Pittsburgh and I'hil.adoiphia.

Dr MacBride-Dcxter pointed out Arrangements are being per- iPcted with the medical profeaslo.i of the State so that tho.se who o wUh may have the test made by a private phy.sician, who in turn can submit the speclmon to the labora- t.iries of the Department of Healto

As Congress settles down to each branch has on Its calendar a sizable lUt of Important laws vkMl were pa.ssed at the last seaaion Pf one of the Hau.ses but not bgr the other. The status of these blUs Is not changed by the ending of the nrst session—they go over Into the iollowlng se.sslon on precisely the >.ame basis as if Congress had not r^djcumed at all Some of them Will come up In the current special sea- ton—those which do not, will come again Into prominence when the regular, concluding session of the 75th Congre.s.s is called In January, The United States News recently ; ublisiied a summary of the mOt'C important aci^ wiucli have met the approval of one branch, and are yei to be pa.s.sed or condemned by the other.
The Senati?. in Its flrst session, pa-sed several exf.'emely important measures, whicii are now resdy for House of Representatives' scrutiny. These bllLs are:
WAOE3 AND HOURS:    The blU
creates a Federal Board with sweep. ing powers to estabhsh maxlmtun hours of work and minimum wages, under certain re-trictlons. It U aa AdmlnUtration "must" measure, anl was cne of the two desired laws which led to the calling of the spee¬ ial session. Chance for passage In present form U only fair; there is a better chance that extensive re¬ vision win be demanded. BuslnCM .•-entiment U solidified against tha bill. not. primarily, becau.se of fear of the wages and hours standards it provides, but because of the feel¬ ing that the board would be a caar over Industry. The business reoas* un. which ha.s resulted in a stronii -le.-^ire on the part of many congress¬ men to make the .special and thd next regular session reassuring to Industry, has damaged tlie blU'i rhances.
CHILD LABOR: Will probably lia'-.s. then beco.me an U->ue In the courts.
WHEAT INSURANCE: Would set ;ip a plan to piotect farmers against .vil at crop failures. Is highly de¬ batable as a pr.\ctlcal measure, bul :,as good chance of pa^^slng. perhaps in revised form.
REVISION OP FOOD AND DRUGS LAW: Designed to correct weaknessp.s and inadequacie.s In the present law. Will probably pass, though not without strong opposi¬ tion,
TRAIN LI.MIT LAW: Would re¬ strict length of freight trauxs to 70 cars. Is tuppor'.ed by labor as i irake work niea.-ure opposed by rail¬ way management on the grounds that its cost would be unbearabtK without major rate increases, and It would make oiieratlon less safe. House opposition to the law has htiX growing. Chance of passing aeemi waning
CONDEMNATION OF Srr-DOWM STRIKES: This U not a law bUt .in expression of congressional aentl¬ ment on a major issue of the time. Ha- mu:h better chance of pasalnj the Hou.se now than it did last ses- .'-ion. but it may t>e tabled and never brought to a vote as many members w.uld prefer to dodj?e the question.
Important laws pa.s.sed by the House, and now on the Senate roster Include:
THE ANTI-LYNCHINO LAW: ThU has been a burning topic for many years, anri at the opening of the special sos.-ion re.sulted in A virtual filibuster by Southern mem¬ bers. Poor chance of passage— S uthern Senators feel It would de- ,'-,troy the soverelpity of the states, are prepared to talk It Into oblivion 'vlunevor it appears
REVISION OF BANKRUPTCY ACT: Not a dramatic issue, has gOvKl chance of pa.ssage.
REGULATION OF NATURAL OAS:    Also has a good chanoe of
passage.
PLACING l«08TMASTERS UN- DER CIVIL SERVICE STATUS Practically tverjone agrees thu .-limld bo done --but not everyonj agrees the ponding bill U the way to do it Opponents say the measure would give the AdmlnUtration a stronghold on the postmasters, and reult in a tremend^us political ma¬ chine However the chance for pas- -age .spem.s good.
REPEAL OF SALARY PUBLIC¬ ITY LAW Top rorp.oration sal¬ aries are mw publUhed periodically by the SEC Opponents say this encourag«'.s blackmail, kidnapplnf. other crime.s; U an unwarranted ln¬ va.sion of private rights. Proponeta say salary publicity U necessary to protect corporate stockholders from excessive and unjustlflable eseeU'- tlve salaries. Chance of only fair.
REORGANIZATION OF PVDBR- AL DEPARTMENTS: Like the elvll service for postmaaters bill, thia mea.'^ure Is based on something thai everyone feeU U necessary In the Interest of governmental efBcicne/ and economy—but a great mamr poople are oppoaed to the corranl proposal for the reason that It aroulil place the independent bureaiu. anah Hf   the   FTC   and   IOO.   Under  tiM
rxpcuttve.   Chance for paaaafa fair.
