STATES MAY AID
LEGION IN WORK
Americanization Plan to Be
Submitted 10 Other
Organizations.

Washington states are to be
urged 10 aid the American Legion to
further its program for Americaniza-
ton. as explained here today by AL
win Owsley, former assistant attorney
general Of Texas. who is now serving
as assistant national director of the
characterization commission Of the
American Legion. Mr. Owsley was
in Washington Friday to ascertain
how the legion could best aid in pro-
hibiting the advocacy OF overthroWing
the government by force, and to resist
all shades Of the propaganda seeking
to install here the soviet or other sim
liar forms Of government.
THE American Legion has adopted
program, said Mr.. Owsley, for
Americanization which is to be sub
mitted to all other organizations Of
similar intent, and we believe the
work should begin in the schools, and
viii ask the states to require that Eng
lsh be taught in all of the grade and
common schools Of the country. We
believe there also should be taught the
history of the country and its civil
government, and that the students
from these schools in these studies be
accredited in the colleges and uni
versities throughout the United States.
"The program also contemplates
there should be a teaching daily
through patriotic exercises, that the
flag Of the country shall float from
every schoolhouse, and that such
places be made civic centers."
Mr.. Owsley conferred with members
of congress over legislation to restrict
immigration, expressing the belief
that there should be fixed bar
against the large number now coming
and seeking to reach these shores. He
is to study the situation at Ellis Is
land after leaving Washington.

ATTORNEY GENERAL GIVES
OPINION ON REPEAL LAW

Austin, Textile common law rule
to the effect that the repeal of a re-
pealing statute revives the repealed
statute does not prevail in this state,
and whenever one law which shall
have replaced another shall itself be
repealed, the former law shall not be
thereby revived without express
words to that effect, according to an
opinion by the attorney generals de-
partment to Representative r. R.
Owen. Hence a bill repeating chapter
179 of the general laws of the regular
session of the 35th legislature will not
if enacted into law, have the effect of
reviving laws expressly or implicitly
repealed by chapter 179, unless the
bill contains express language evidenc
ing an intention that such prior re-
pealed acts should be revived
Mr.. Owen has introduced a bill to
repeal chapter 179, which requires the
publication of certain legal notices in
newspapers in lieu of posting such
notices.

Hopping Onto Clayton Hootch

Saturday was painful day for

dispatch in tthe Telegraph Herald.
Five federal officers, two state men,
county sheriff and deputy county
sheriff under the leadership of Coun-
ty Attorney w. l.. Eichendorf, drop
ped in at various place around the
county. They worked collectively
and in squads. A portion Of Coun-
ty Attorney Eichendorf's Office had
to be cleared out to receive the pile
of samples which were taken. It's
a valuable pile. Most of it at the
time of capture was selling at so
cents a drink.
The ten men took the early morn
ing train Sunday, going south from
McGregor. Some got Off at Gut
tenberg, part left the train at Buena
Vista, Turkey river was the desti-
nation of the rest. The Gutenberg
crew found George Junk busy as
could be in al cave back of the house
with two stills running. They
smashed the stills and took a bottle
of mash. The soft drink parlor OF
F. NJ. Walsh and pool hall of JOIN
Rodemaker were next visited, hqu
or found and bottles of it taker
for evidence.
While this was going on at Gut

WIFE'S CHILDREN SUE FOR
DAMAGES
Husband Killed Her and Her Heirs
Ask $4,000

Muscatine, Iowa-Litigation that
will establish precedent in the
legal annals of Iowa got well under
way here today when the task of
selecting a jury in unique action
involving the estatey of Frank A.
Adams, well known Nichols farmer
who shot his wife and then killed
himself last year, was begun by at
torneys in the case.
The suit is being waged by ad-
ministrators of the respective es-
tates. Fred Stevens, administra-
tor of the Clara Adams estate,
started the action which is being
contested by I. B. Nichols, admin
istrator of her husbands estate.
Damages in the amount of $751;
900 are sought by heirs of Mrs.
Adams on the grounds of assault.
A new law passed not so long
ago permits a married woman to
bring suit in her own right for per-
sonal injuries. Prior to the plac-
ing of this statute on the lawbooks
of Iowa, such an action could not
have been instituted by married
woman or her legal heirs. The
statute provides that in case of her
death the administrator may pro-
ceed for the benefit of the estate.
Under that statute, Mrs. Adams
