 QUART REGULATION
Prohibition Bureau Will Allow
 Doctors to Buy Six

Washington, Oct. LP) - Physi- clans needing whiskey for office or surgical use will be permitted to continue purchasing six quarts an- nually-all at one time. A plan of the prohibition bureau to limit withdrawals to one quart at time has been dropped.
 Notification that the proposal had been abandoned was given by Assistant Attorney General Young quist, in charge of prohibition, yes terday, in a letter to Representative Britten, republican, Illinois. The letter had complained on behalf of physicians that the filing of sep arate application for single quart each two months would be a source of annoyance to reputable men.
 Plan Only "Suggested'
 Youngquist told him the single quart plan was a suggestion" con- tained in a tentative draft to pro- posed legislation. It had been sub mitted for comwent, he said, to various interested groups, including the American Medical Association. More recent discussions with off cers of this association, he added, re- suited in decision to continue the present system.
 Commenting, Representative Brit ten said he was glad "the prohibit tion unit as now constructed is working with the American Medical Association instead of against it. as its predecessors did"
 He added that the change would have been expensive, requiring is- suance of millions of applications and employment of additional office forces, and would not have pre-. vented the legal issuance of single quart of whiskey."

New York, Oct. 8 P,-What is believed to be the longest poker game on record-it lasted four months-was described in a radio talk over WABC last night by Russell Owen. correspondent for the New York Times with the Byrd Antarctic expedition.
 With money of no value, the stakes were cigarettes, he said, or when some particularly unpleas- ant task was to be done a game of freeze-out was played to see who would do it. When this lat ter was the case. he said, a gen. eral conspiracy always existed to make sure Rear Admiral Byrd was so far ahead in the game he could not lose, as the men thought it not right for the com- mander to do the tasks they tried to evade.

Seamen Tells Labor Convention
 Of Plan for Protection

Boston, Oct. s R-Amendment of the federal patent laws to provide a weapon of defense for the work ingman against the hardships of un- employment was a plan submitted to the American Federation of La bor convention here today for its endorsement.

 Futuseth would have the user of the patented machine which re- placed human labor reimburse the displaced employees for at least a portion of their loss. He believed the patent laws could be amended to provide for such a procedure.
