...Federal Food & Drug Administration was conducting a drive against "abortion pastes." During a routine checkup, an inspector discovered that Faiman was selling a violet-colored, sweet-smelling paste called "Metro-Vac" containing a poisonous metallic salt.

Search for the Gullible. Last week Food & Drug agents moved in on the block-long institute building at Malaga, N.J., impounded every Spectro-Chrome in the place. Then they trucked five tons of Ghadiali's instructions, magazines and correspondence to the Camden city incinerator.

There were a lot more: BAE, BLS, DPI, ECC, EHFA, EIB, FCIC, FDA, NIC, NPPC, OADR, OGF, OCR, OLLA, OSRD, SCS, SSB, SSS, USSS, USES, USIS. Hardly a man was now alive who knows or needs to know most of them. If he did, he could not find them. They were moving: REA was on its way to St. Louis, one of 14 peacetime bureaus which had moved or were moving to make more Washington room for war agencies. SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) is now in Philadelphia, the Patent Office in Richmond. To Kansas City will soon...
