repair would not be economical and the loan or transfer of which is deemed advantageous under the provisions of the law. Upon approval of these lists the property so listed will be held available for loan or transfer as contemplated herein. The Chief of the Air Corps is authorized to remove from the list at any time such articles as in his opinion should no longer be carried thereon. (b) In general, the property under consideration will be loaned subject to recall. When considered desirable, however, and such action is specifically approved by the Secretary of War, a transfer of such property may be made. (c) In the case of all loans, the registrar or corresponding official of the institution concerned will sign for the property and will report annually to the Chief of the Matériel Division, Air Corps, on December 31, the quantity and condition of property loaned. Any changes in quantity or condition will be reported when such changes occur, with information as to the cause thereof.

(a) Accountability for property loaned will continue while it is in the custody of the institution to which loaned. This accountability will be carried on a stock record account maintained by the Chief of the Matériel Division, Air Corps, and the property will be held on memorandum receipts by the institutions. Should property so loaned become lost, destroyed, or unfit for further use a report of survey will be initiated by the Chief of the Matériel Division with an affidavit from the responsible official of the institution, setting forth all facts relating to the loss, destruction, or unserviceability, as an exhibit thereto. In such cases, if the value of the property or its residue does not warrant the cost of inspection and disposal by the Government, the surveying officer may recommend that the property be abandoned. Upon final approval of the report of survey, the property will be dropped from accountable records. (b) Accountability for property transferred, as contemplated in § 84.19 (b), will terminate when the transfer is effected. Page 58 (c) Shipping tickets covering issues of obsolete and unserviceable Air Corps equipment under the provisions of the regulations in this part will be conspicuously marked to show whether the articles listed thereon are "transferred" or "loaned". (d) In the case of loans, seven copies of the shipping tickets will be prepared by the accountable officer shipping the property, and distributed as follows: Two copies to the institution to which the property is shipped.

PART 85-VETERINARY STATION SERVICE 85.1 Sales of animals to civilians. Sec. 85.3 Correction of defects in establishments. 85.4 Station dairy inspections. Section 85.1 Sales of animals to civilians. The importance of avoiding the transmission of communicable diseases to civilian-owned animals must be considered whenever the sale of surplus or condemned public animals is contemplated. The station veterinarian will examine all such animals at such time prior to sale as will enable him to certify to their freedom from serious communicable disease or probable contact therewith. He will also utilize all veterinary facilities at the station to place the animals in the best possible physical condition. The minimum requirements for a veterinary health certificate under such conditions will include freedom from clinical signs of glanders or other serious communicable disease at time of sale, a negative intradermic mallein test within the 21 days preceding the date of sale, and freedom from contact subsequent to the test, with animals yielding positive or suspicious reactions to a glanders test, or with clinical signs of glanders. (R.S. 161; 5 U.S.C. 22) [Par. 26, AR 40-2035, Apr. 15, 1922] 85.2 Local purchase; initial inspection. The proprietors or operators of establishments who propose to supply meats and meat Page 59 food and dairy products to any station or command should apply in writing to the commanding officer thereof for inspection regarding the sanitary condition of their establishments, their animals, and the source from which the supplies to be delivered are derived. This initial inspection will be conducted by the station veterinarian. It will include a survey of the plant and premises to ascertain whether the same are in a sanitary condition and whether facilities necessary to a proper conduct of subsequent routine inspections can be provided. The veterinary officer will indicate to the proprietor or operator what changes or additions should be made for the correction of unsanitary conditions, if such exist in or about the establishment, and specify the kind of inspection facilities to be furnished. When the establishment has been placed in an acceptable condition, the veterinary officer will recommend to the commanding officer, through the surgeon, that the application be approved. Such establishment so long as it continues a source of supply for the command, should thereafter be inspected at least once every month and report thereof made in writing. (R.S. 161; 5 U.S.C. 22) [Par. 36, AR 40-2035, Apr. 15, 1922] 85.3 Correction of defects in establishments. When an establishment is not properly operated or does not maintain a satisfactory standard of sanitation, and correction of these defects can not be obtained after the matter has been properly brought to the attention of the proprietor or operator, written recommendation should be made by the station veterinarian, through the surgeon, to the commanding officer that its products are excluded from the command. (R.S. 161; 5 U.S.C. 22) [Par. 41, AR 40-2035, Apr. 15, 1922] 85.4 Station dairy inspections. (a) The station veterinarian will inspect the dairies, including collecting depots and creameries, and the herds of those dealers proposing to supply the troops, and will make in writing to the commanding officer such recommendations as the veterinarian may deem proper regarding their suitability. Subsequent inspections should be made at least once every month, and should the veterinary officer consider it advisable for any sanitary reason to discontinue a source of supply, he will so recommend in writing to the commanding officer, through the surgeon, giving a full statement of the sanitary defects and the efforts which have been made to correct them. A statement of conditions and of the recommendations and action taken thereon will appear in the monthly report of meat and dairy hygiene. (b) The veterinary officer should remember that in connection with inspections made outside of a military reservation he may make recommendations for changes which he may find necessary, but that military authority competent to direct such corrective measures is usually lacking. If the owner or manager of an establishment or dairy does not at any time permit of a proper inspection or fails to comply with the reasonable and necessary veterinary requirements herein specified, the veterinary officer will then recommend to the commanding officer the exclusion of the products thereof from the command.

Section 91.1 Shipment of intoxicating liquors. The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited. (Sec. 2 of 21st amendment to Constitution of U. S.). The laws of any State, Territory, or possession of the United States relative to intoxicating liquors are not applicable to the transportation of intoxicating liquors that are the property of the United States and intended as medical supplies for the treatment of the troops or of the animals pertaining to the Army. If a carrier should hesitate to accept at point of origin and/or deliver at destination a shipment containing intoxicating liquors that are the property of the United States and intended as medical supplies for the treatment of the troops or of the animals pertaining to the Army, the quartermaster at the point of origin and/or at destination, as the cases may be, will obtain an appropriate certificate from the proper medical officer setting forth such ownership and intended use of the liquors. The quartermaster will deliver the certificate to the carrier and make record thereof.

In order to give ample notice to go ashore to any persons aboard the vessel who are not to sail on it, one long blast of the whistle will be sounded one-half hour before sailing, two blasts, fifteen minutes before sailing and three blasts, five minutes before sailing. (R.S. 161; 5 U.S.C. 22) [Par. 13, AR 30–1190, July 23, 1932] Page 1 91.3 Stowaways and workaways. The commanding officer of troops, the transport quartermaster or quartermaster agent, and the master and ship's officers will use every precaution to prevent persons boarding Army transports as stowaways. To prevent unauthorized persons boarding transports in the uniform of enlisted men of the Army, the commander of the troops to embark will have ranks formed on the wharf immediately before embarkation, and a careful roll call and inspection made to see that only men who are to embark are present, and will use due diligence to see that no others go on board with the troops. After the transport is in the stream and before anchor is weighed to commence the voyage if there is reason to suspect that stowaways or other unauthorized persons are aboard, the transport will be thoroughly searched by the ship's officers under the direction of the master. The commanding officer of troops will form the troops in ranks or otherwise dispose of them so as to facilitate a thorough search of every part of the ship. When stowaways are discovered they will be put to work about the ship wherever their services can be used. The commanding officer of troops will see that all stowaways, whether alien or claiming American citizenship, and all workaways are reported to the port debarkation officer immediately upon arrival. The port debarkation officer will make the necessary arrangements with the immigration authorities, and the stowaways or workaways will not be permitted to leave the ship until they have been properly cleared by the immigration authorities. In the Philippines, they will be given the option of remaining aboard and going back on the transport or being turned over to the civil authorities for prosecution as vagrants. In other oversea ports they should be confined in a military guardhouse until they can be disposed of in accordance with instructions from the immigration officials. In the event a stowaway delivered to the immigration official for investigation is excluded by them and returned to the Army officials, he will be returned to the country whence he came, either on the transport on which he arrived or another Army ship. In addition to the necessary record in the transport quartermaster's or quartermaster agent's office, the master will see that a proper record concerning the stowaways or workaways is entered in the ship's log.
