moralists Will Begin Censorship
 Fight to Retain Tariff Bill Clause

Washington, Oct. 12 (UP)-The hard-earned victory of senate liber- als and intellectuals over federal censorship of foreign literature met today with a warning from moral welfare organizations that 1t will be warmly contested.
 Informed that the senate had eliminated the restrictions of the tariff bill against immoral and indc- cent literature, Deets Pickett, sec retary of the Methodist board of prohibition, tenn perance and public morals, declared he would consult immediately with interested senators and congressmen 10 see the mat ter is reconsidcred when the bill goes to conference, or before. The help of other moral welfare organizations is anticipated he indicated.
 Cutting Ridiculcs Plan
 The successful amendment was brought forward by Senator Bronson Cutting, a New Mexico republican, newspaper editor and Harvard grad uate. who ridiculed the idea that a clerk in the treasury department be permitted to censor imported literature. He protested against the recent ban on "All Quiet on the Western Front and the famous classics of less modern ages.

The piano and tables bore many autographed photographs and the picture on the piano which attracted most attention, that of q charming young girl, bore the in scription, "to my kind father" It vas a picture of the minister's daughter.
 This reception like the state din- ner at the White House, the rcccp- ton at the British embassy, and other large events of the week, marked the return Of white kid gloves as part of Women's evening attire. The state department was surIcitcd with queries about Wheth- CT or not women should wear white evening gloves, Miss Mary Ran dolph, the social secretary of the White House, declared that women should wear gloves at the White House, at the social events of vice president and at such places of i'm pOrtanCe as cabinet homes and en- bassies. Years ago there was no such question necessary, but the war stopped the importation of gloves, women were excused for being with out them in the evening, and the re- turn to them is an aE@ravation to many women. However, women who spend the winter in the capital, must now lay in a stock of long white gloves.

all federal censorship by 33 to 48 but he succeeded in eliminating the in decent literature clause which keeps out the classics, by a vote of 3S to 36 when the republican intelleCtuals joined the liberals and ma jority of the democrats.
 A reconsideration of the vote may be obtained before the bill is passed provided Pickett and the other vel fare organizations press for it. The house adopted provision providing Stricter censorship than exists even now, so in any case, the matter will be threshed out in conference be- tween the two houses
 Three Things Banned
 As modified by the senate, the censorship would apply only upon indecent pictures, articles advocat- ing resistance by force to any law of the United States and papers threat ening bodily harm to any person in the United States.
 The senate was in recess over the weekend while the leaders were at tempting to arrange for some me- thod of speeding consideration of the the bill. Only seven weeks re- main until the regular session of congress starts, and the senate has not yet reached the rate sections of the bill.

CONFIDENT
 OF HAPPY WINTER
Wine and Wheat Crops Re-
 ported Best in Many Years

Paris, Oct. 12 LH--Whcn winter comes. your Frcnchman can button up his ovcrcoat and go home smiling and content In the assurance that bread and wine are more plentiful than for many years. The sunny weather of 1929, following q dry and icy winter has produced for him an abundance of both grain and grapes.
 Your average Frcnchman. as your average anybody else, cannot live by bread alone. But give him some wine to go with if. and he can make out. A jug of wine and 8. loaf of bread are as dear to his heart as they were 10 Omar, the poetic Per sian. As for the book Of verse and the tantali2ing "Thou" Gallic tolcr- ance leaves every man to his own taste.
 The wheat crop is estimated at SIS, ,000,G bushels an eighth more than last year, and more than enough for every bread basket be- tween the Riviera and the channel from the Nosgcs 10 he pyrcnccs
 If one likes wine, then one would be wise 10 make a mental note that upon coming to France some lato day. "142a" will he a good year to have upon the bottle. And it doesn't make much difference what kind Of French wine is in the bottle,
 All over France, in every vino yard, peasants and buyers tell tho same story: 1929 will be great year for both quality and quantity. In Alsace, whence came dry and golden wines and silvcry high powdered liqueurs; in Touraincs. where Anjou and Nouyray and many another wine is produced; along the hlghroad from Dijou to Macon where the names of the towns and the Chateaix are carried round the world on labels of bottles of rich and warming burgundics, the news was always the same.
 NO, it is true we have not yet plucked and pressed the grapes, but We don't have to wait for that, Monsieur, to be sure it's a great year. After such weather, there is no doubt of it.
 In the Rhone and SaOne valleys along the hillsides and sheltered vineyards of Provence, and further west where red and white wines of Bordeaux are poured into millions Of bottles and barrels, the tOiling peasants and gcstiCulating merchants agreed that it has been many a year since the grapes were so good and so plentiful.
 By the end of summer, prices of old wines began 10 fall, for ware houses and cellars had to find room for the new crop.
 The folk least elated are the peasants who own and cultivate the vines. When it was known the crop would be a bumper one, prices. spot and futures, declined. But the tax that the peasant owes on every bar rel he sells, is fixed solely on quan- | tity.
 But while the peasant grumbles | the middle classes who have q | theory that a bottle a day will kepT the doctor away, are smaCking their 1 lips.
