RUM CAR TAKEN
AFTER CRASH

A rum-running automobile, pre-
ceded by a block car" came to
grief on River Road, in Mont
gomery county, Md, when it
crashed into the rear Of its COM
panion car last night.
The "block car" carrying no
liquor and occupied by men act
ing as lookoutS for the car be-
hind, slowed down to avoid strik
ing a stalled automobile on the
road. County Policeman j. E.
Shoemaker was supervising re-
moval of the disabled machine:
Though the first car slowed
down, the second, carrying liquor,
did not, and the crash occurred.
Immediately the men in the
second car, seeing the officer,
jumped in the first.

MARY T.NORTON
FLAYS DRYS

Charges that the House Judi
ciary Committee had shown Cow.
ardice" in refusing to report a
bill to modify prohibition or give
the people an opportunity to
vote on the issue, were made by
Representative Mary T. Norton
Cd. of New Jersey, in the House
yesterday.
In a vigorous attack upon the
prohibition regime, with its train
of graft. corruption and innocent
lives lost, Mrs. Norton declared
the Judiciary Committee h S
lacked the courage to face the
facts and permit an open debate
in the House.
Carrying her appeal directly
to the members, Mrs. Norton
urged them. to sign her petition
to discharge the committee from
further consideration of her res
olution opening the way for a
national referendum on prohibi-
ton.
1t would take 216 signatures
tQ bring the measure to the floor
for action.
Mrs. Norton said:
"The recent hearings before
the Judiciary Committee on
Prohibition, if listened to with
an open mind, could not fail
to convince the most ardent
dry that we have before us
the greatest moral issue this
country ever has been called
upon to solve.
This SOmmittee has net had
the courage to face the queS-
tiOn and report bill that
could be brought before the
House for debate and action.

would like to be relieved of
the unsavOry label of the Anti

SOnal gain.

Driuer Must Take Permit

In ruling on the case, judge
Hit said:
Il can readily see why the
officer would refuse to take
a wallet in a case like this. The
man may have money in the
wallet or he may nOt-the Of
ficer has no way of knowing.
And if the wallet does con-
tain money and the officer
takes it, the officer may find
himself facing a charge of
theft, for the man may claim
that the officer removed some
money from the wallet.
I'm my opinion, an officer is
entirely within his rights in
refusing to take a wallet from
a man, and when asked to do
so a mOtOriSt must remove his
permit from his wallet and
hand the permit alone to the
officer"

Commerce Secretary Speaks
of Ancient Advertising, Laud-
ing Changes for Better Now

Business is gradually but un-
miStakably coming out of the
depression and the climb out of
the slump is not rambling hit
and-miss scramble but a decided
upward climb, DR.. Julius Klein,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce,
told the delegates to the Twenty
sixth annual convention of the
Advertising Federation of Amer
lea at the Willard Hotel this aft
ernoon.
In commenting upon the field
of advertising, the speaker
stressed the Importance of adver-
tiSing men to go beneath the
merely superficial and study the
exacting needs of the merchants
of today. Each day the mer-
chant is becoming more exacting,
he declared, and the consumer is
beginning to look beyond the
product and to evince interest in
the means by which merchandise
is finally brought into consump-
ton after leaving the factory. He
said:
"Unless advertising can show
an affirmative answer. to that
highly pertinent query, namely.
show the consumer that he is
getting the benefit of the
money expended in value re-
ceived, advertising will Ger.
tainly fall short of its just
obligations.
"ThOse early advertisements
Scrawled on the walls of
POmpeii, which are now being
revealed in the recent excava-
tiOnS, lauded the virtues and
accomplishments Of politicians,
actors and gladiatOrs. but Spe-
cialiZed particularly upon
vitriOlic barrages against their
respective rivals. While the
advertising prOfessiC today
had made notable progress
above those standards, there
are still occasional lingering
vestiges of this ancient type of
destructive bOmbast."
Names Hoover Program
The speaker touched briefly
on President Hoover'S economic
program and declared that simpli
fication in industry can be greatly
advanced if manufacturers will
interpret in their advertising the
saving that would come to the
consumer by the reduction of
waste in distribution.
Secretary of Labor James j.
Davis spoke briefly on the
changed conditions in labor circles
and reviewed the early days of
the artisans and mechanics
struggles for a living wage. He
pointed to conditions throughout
the world today, declaring that
such betterment is after all the
result of advertising campaigns.
Others who spoke were Malcolm
Muir, president of the McGraw-
Hill Publishing Company; I. A.
HirSchman, director of publicity
of the firm of L. Bamberger
and Company; Mary I. Berber, OF
the Kellogg Company; Joseph B.
Groce, of the Edison Electric
Illuminating Company, and Jean
nett Carroll, vice president Of
Bryant-Stratton Company, of
Providence, R. I.

HOUSE HEADS
ADVANCE:
ACTION
However, Street Car Merger
Is Postponed Indefinitely
and Small Loan DWindIes

At it's regular weekly meeting
today the House District Commit
tee took action on several import
ant local measures, one of which
virtually assures passage at this
session of the police and firemen's
pay increase bill.
The committee voted to report
out the Senate substitute for the
House bill, the Senate measure
having passed the upper chamber
last week.
On House Calendar
This action put the Senate bill
automatically on the House calen-
dar. Practically the only differ
ence between the Senate and
House bill is that the former lop-
ped off $500 in the annual sal
aries of the heads of the police
and fire departments, to which
amendments the men affected
themselves agreed.
The House committee, by a
vote of II to 3, indefinitely post
poned action on the street car
merger bill, which is now on the
Senate calendar.
Loan Bill Sleeps
The Bowman small-loan bill
was not brought up at todayS
session, and will be the subject Of
further discussion at a special
meeting.
The Moore bill, which had been
scheduled for a special meeting,
after several hearings, was uneX-
pectedly reported out at today'S
regular meeting by vote OF
13 to, 2.
This measure sets up a special
joint commission to investigate
and make a report every two
years on the equity of the fiscal
relations between the Federal and
District governments and the
present 100000 lump-sum con-
tribution from the Federal treasury
to the District.
Mrs. Mary T. Norton, of New
Jersey, only woman member Of
the District Committee, moved a
favorable report yesterday. but
Representative Palmer made q
preferential motion that the COM
mittee adjourn, as the House
meeting hour. had arrived. APP
parently, however, there will be
only two or three votes in the
District Committee against the
Moore bill.
The first function of the pro-
posed commission would be to in
vestigate whether the present
lump sum" appropriation the
Federal Government makes to
the District government is fair
and whether the 100000 an
nual ALLEGATION is too high or too
low.
Senate View Opposed
Representative Simmons insists
the amount should be nearer
$7,000,000 than $9,000,000, whereas
! the Senate has insert in the cur
rent District appropriation bill an
amendment to increaSe the
amount to $12,000,000.
, This Simmons will fight in the
! conference committee which will
begin meetings this week on the
District budget for the next fiscal
year.

WALSH FATE VITAL
TO DEMOCRATS
Montana Senator Has Slight
Chance in Battle of
Vets and Drys.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

OF the senatorial seats at issue in this
campaign, few are as important to the
Democrats as that of Thomas j. Walsh
of Montana. 1t can also be said that
few are as important to the drys. Walsh
Is strongly dry Senator. Montana Is a
strongly wet State. 1t has repealed its
local enforcement law and has taken
other steps indicating 1t Is perhaps the
wettest State outside the East. Under
these conditions the campaign of Sena-
tor Walsh to succeed himself has given
rise to some unique alignments. With
Walsh dry Catholic, the Republicans
nominated against him q wet Catholic,
Albert j. Galen, now a. judge on the
State Supreme Court. With beth can
have taken unusual steps based on the
prohibition issue. The Methodist
Church, most of whom in Montana are
Republicans, Endorsed Walsh. A State
meeting of the United Brethren, strong
in Montana and largely Republican, in
dorsed Walsh. The Women's Christian
Temperance Union, which IN Montana
rarely Endorses candidates, Endorsed
Walsh.
On the other side, adverse to Walsh.
is the rather sensational entry into the
situation of the Imperial Wizard Of the
Ku Klux Khan, Hiram K. Evans, with a
tour in which he made four speeches.
Faced with taking sides as between two
Catholics, one dry and the other wet
the Khan ofiicial espoused the wet Re-
publican one. Evans put his opposition
to the dry Democratic Catholic Walsh
chiefly on the ground that Walsh favors
Americas entry into the World Court.
and Is therefore undesirable from the
point Of view of the Klan's conception
OF Americanism.
Counter Current Effects.
How great the effect of the Klan's
public action may be, no one can es-
innate, because every body agrees that
much OF the effect will express itself
IN counter currents. Montana has large
population Of foreign born, who are Of
diverse religions. There are Italian,
Irish and German Catholics. There are
Swedish. Norwegian and German Luth-
Grams. There are Russians, Greeks and
Armenians. Nearly all the foreign born,
OF whatever nationality or religious
faith, are wet. Just what would be the
various and intricate reactions of these
groups, and the net effect on all, Of a
Ku Klux Khan leader speaking in favor
OF wet Catholic Is for any reader to
guess. Politicians trying to figure 1t
out have thrown down their pencils in
despair, though many OF them are ex-
pert in aSsaying the effects of all the
81 varieties Of propaganda, of propa-
ganda designed to have reverse effect,
Of propaganda that operates as a boom
erang, Of propaganda designed to in
nuence one group one way and another
group the other way.
Some Montana politicians have esti-
mated that Walsh will lose some of the
normal Democratic vote because most
Of the Democrats are wet and Walsh is
dry. To the same effect, they estimate
that Walsh will lose some more Demo-
cratic votes because most of the Demo-
Gratis were ardently In favor Of ex-Gov.
Smith getting the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination in 1924 and 1928,
whereas Walsh was for McAdoo in the

ably gains as many votes from his at
tacks on newspapers which are op-
posing him as he loses because Of their
attacks. He looks today like a winner
In November. 1t is true that the next
three weeks may bring important de-
velopments that might lose Schall the
election. But If the election took place
today he probably would win.
The Hoover administration as an is
sue Is not figuring in the senatorial
campaign. Schan opposed the admin
istration practically at every turn. 1t
Is true that the Hoover administration
and the Federal Farm Board are in
tensely unpopular with the grain trade
In Minneapolis and st. Paul, probably
to far greater extent than with the
Republicans may go to the Democratic
candidate in this senatorial election in
an effort to take slap at the admin
iStration as well as at Schall.
There Is a spirit of unrest politi-
cally among the farmers. it is said,
although the farmers themselves are
keeping rather quiet about what they
intend to do in this coming election.
All the candidates for the Senate are
ready to pledge to the farmers their
support for the old McNary- Haugen
farm bill If they be elected to the
Senate.
Reports from sources well informed
about farm conditions however, indi-
cate that despite the drought and low
prices for wheat, Minnesota farmers
are doing fairly well. Dan A. Wallace.
directing editor of the Farmer, St.
Paul, insists that there is no calamity
In the Northwest" He goes further and
says that Minnesota's composite crop
condition this year is 97.2 per cent of
the 10-year average. About the whole
situation in the. Northwest he says:
I'VE find conditions quite satisfac-
tory, and in comparison with some
other sections of the country our stu
alton Is happy one indeed. It would
be rash to say that farm buying power
OF the Northwest will be equaled to or
exceed that Of last year. but there Is
general agreement that the differ
ence is not substantial A good guess
Is that the Northwest farm buying
power this year will be somewhere be-
tween and 10 per cent less than last
year"

former year and in 1928 ran himself for
the nomination as dry in opposition
70 Smith. The latter action especially
was resented by Smith Democrats.
Similarly, politicians estimate that
Galen, running as wet Republican,
VIII lose much OF the dry part Of the
Republican vote.
State Essentially Republican.
Unfavorable to Walsh is the fact that
Montana Is essentially q Republican
State. This is fundamentally true, in
spite of the fact that the present two
Senator'S from the State and the pres
ent Governor are Democrats. 1t IS es-
timated that nearly seven-eighths Of
the local county officials throughout
the State are Republicans. For years
most OF the members of the Legislature
have been Republican. Most of the
State officers below the rank of Gov
ernor are Republican.
Unfavorable to Walsh also Is the fact
that in the Senate he opposed con-
flrmation of Chief Justice Hughes,
which action alienated from Walsh
some Of the more thoughtful sources
of opinion.
Adding to the extraordinarily bizarre
lineup of elements of the population
and of leaders is the announcement
that Progressive and wet Republican
Senator La Toilette will campaign in
the State for Democratic and dry SEN
ator Walsh. Associated with this type
of progressive or radical support of
Walsh Is the fact that most of the rail-
road workers, numerous in Montana,
are for him. Walsh will likewise have
the support Of most of the veterans,
partly because Galen as a judge con-
demned the constitutionality of State
soldiers bonus law and partly for other
acts of Galen..
This Montana fight, in q State hav-
ing one of the smallest populations, is
exceptionally important nationally. 1t
is square and relatively uncomplicated
issue Of wet versus dry. Defeat Of Walsh
would be blow to dry prestige through
out the country. The loss Of Walsh to
the Democrats in the Senate, in a
national sense, would not be compen-
