The municipal controversy over power rates was clarified today by Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia's request for a specific program embodying an immediate 20 per cent reduction reduc-tion on electric light charges by utilities. The city, in a clear-cut declaration declara-tion of policy, for the first time officially recognized negotiations of the consolidated gas system to revise its rate schedule. The mayor's proposals were made in a letter to Floyd L. Carlisle, head of consolidated. The electric light rate reduction (Should be accomplished by a cor-iSesponding cor-iSesponding cut for power used industrially, in-dustrially, La Guardia said. He urged the utility to make the rate on electricity used for domestic dom-estic cooking no greater than the cost of gas, so the entire city might change from one to the Other. H i- SCIENCE- f The Federal Food and Drug Administration has issued vurn-ing vurn-ing against two new drugs, cjne of which destroys the liver; the other of which destroys the white corpuscles in the blood. The drugs in question are cinchophen and kamidophyrine. 'Cinchophen, a chemical anodyne ano-dyne and sedative, is sometimes tisexi by sufferers from neuralgia, rheumatic pains, neuritis and similar sim-ilar ailments. Amidohprine is fre-ouentlv fre-ouentlv used in headache remedies and other pain killers. Mr. W. G. Campbell, chief of the Food and Drug Administration, Administra-tion, made it plain that he was not implying all headache and rheumatism remedies contained these dangerous drugs. Many manufacturers declare on their labels the presence of these drugs. Others do not. The Pure Food and Drug Act does not compel them to do so. The law requires manufacturers tddeclare on their labels the presence of several narcotic drugs. When the law was passed, cinchophen was unknown and the harmful effects of amido-phyrine amido-phyrine were not recognized. Mr. Campbell has issued a warning warn-ing to all buyers to look over all labels carefully. Look for statements state-ments of presence of these drugs. If there is no such declaration, and there is any doubt, ask the druggist. First Queen No question about winsome La-vlna La-vlna Simmons being the first queen of 1935.

Truth was, however, it was nothing more exciting than sweet cidef. MERRY-GO-ROUND Mrs. Roosevelt is far more popular popu-lar with White House attaches and secret service personnel than was her predecessor, Mrs. Hoover. She is meticulously considerate of all, despite her constant rush of activities. ac-tivities. Least sung but most important im-portant among the interests of the White House are the several hundred grey squirrels, tame as house cats, that throng the Executive Ex-ecutive Mansion grounds. And most remarkable of all facts about them is their systematic frugality. When offered peanuts by visitors they eat one, bury the next, eat the third, .bury the fourth, etc..

"I am not prepared pre-pared to go that far." he said, addressing ad-dressing Griff. "It depends somewhat some-what upon the facts surrounding the administration of the poison. I believe that the authorities hold that a 'death by accidental means' implies that the means by which the death is bronght about must be accidental. In other words, an accidental death is not a death by accidental means. It's rather a fine distinction with which the layman Is not ordinarily interested, although al-though he should be, because a large number of persons have similar simi-lar clauses In their insurance policies." "A most Interesting legal point," Griff said. Bleeker. who had been standing Bilent, looked from one to the other. Fisher suddenly smiled. "Well." be said, "I'm standing here gabbing like some gossipy woman. I're got work to do and I presume yoo gentlemen hare. too. It was a real pleasure to have seen you." He bowed, smiled, turned abruptly abrupt-ly to the left, strode purposefully down the corridor, paused and knocked on the door of a room. Griff and Bleeker stood by the elevator where the lawyer had left them, watching him attentively. The door of the room opened a few inches.

"I beg your pardon," the lawyer insisted, "but this is room 927, Is it not?" "It is." she said. "And you're registered here?" Fisher asked. "Certainly I'm registered here," she said. "I'm Virginia Stratton and 1 don't know any person, by the name of Appleton. I don't know anyone in Rlverview and I didn't sign any will as a witness." "Most strange," said the lawyer. "I can't understand such a similarity simi-larity In names. You've got the same name as the witness to the will and I was advised by detectives whom I employed to locate the missing witness that you were registered here in the hotel." "Well." said the woman's voice, "I don t know anything affout the will. It's Drobably a mistake In identity. If you'll pardon me, I'm dressing." The door slammed. Fisher stood for a moment as though undecided what course to pursue, then shrugged his shoulders, shoul-ders, turned and walked down the corridor toward the two men who were waiting at the elevator. The lawyer's smile held just the proper amount of apologetic sbeep-ishness. sbeep-ishness. "Not often." he said, "that my detectives make a mistake like that. I keep the best firm in the city and they chase down witDfjpses and addresses for me. This was Just one of those unusual and unfortunate unfortu-nate circumstances of a similarity in names." TTE pushed his finger on the bell-button bell-button for the elevator. "You're going down?" asked Griff. The lawyer nodded. "You were mentioning something about Insurance," Griff said. "Who is the beneficiary under Cathay's insurance policies?" "The wife. Mrs. Cathay," the lawyer said. "She's also beneficiary under the will, but there are certain cer-tain provisions In the will that I didn't like. I warned Cathay against them." "Can you discuss them?" Griff asked. "It might be a little irregular." Fisher told him. "but I don't mind telling you that the one that I objected ob-jected to most strenuously was the gift to bis chauffeur. A matter of 15;000 in cash."
