Sisters Reunited After 20 Years;
 Lived As Neighbors In Same Block

Salem, Mass, March IS R-Two Sisters. separated for nearly 20 years. but who lived in the same apartment block for the past year, each ignor- ant of the others identity, today were planning a reunion soon with their aged mother, Mrs. Celanir Gravel, of Lewiston, Me. The sisters arc Mrs. Joseph Beaulieu and Mrs. Clarina Sylvain.
 Almost two decades ago, Mrs. Sylvain married and went to Canada to live. Later, she came to Salem and with the exception of few years in Peabody. had lived here since. Occasionally she wrote to her mother in Lewiston. Long ago Mrs. Gravel moved to another Lewiston address and as consequence Mrs. Sylvain's letters were returned here unanswered.
 Three years ago Mrs. Beaulicu came here from Lewiston. About a year ago she moved into the block at fl Harbor street. One of her neigh bors was Mrs. Sylvain. They became acquainted and enjoyed each others friendship. Once or twice Mrs. Gravel visited Mrs Beaulieu but at no time did she see Mrs. Sylvain.
 During the past weekend, Thomas Pelletier, a relative of Manchester, N. H., visited the Beaulieu home. He met Mrs. Sylvain. Curiosity, aroused by her familiar features, resulted in Inquiries that, to the amazement of the two women. revealed their blood ties.

BOOK CENSORSHIP DEBATE STARTED
Cutting Says Educators Con-
 demn Present System of Law

Washington, March IS P)-Open- ing debate on the book censorship section of the tariff bill, Senator Cut ting, republican, New Mexico, said that practically all the educators of the country were opposed to the present system and urged the senate to adhere to its dicision to repeal the censorship section.
 Against Immoral" Books
 Senator Shoot, republican, Utah, has proposed an amendment to re- store the present censorship in a modified form and has been vehe- ment in his opposition to the entry of what he described as immoral literature"
 Senator Cutting argued that the states were far safer judges" on this point than the district courts, as would be the case under the Shoot amendment.
 There are three fundamental things we ought to consider before voting for this amendment" the New Mexico senator said.
 He added;
 They are what right have we got to interfere with an adult as to what he would like to read?
 Who Shall Be Judge?
 "How can we pick men wise enough to decide what the adult should not read?
 How can we do it without react ing upon ourselves and without en- couraging the circulation of the very books which censorship tends to re- strict?"

Books Before Senate

Washington. March 1S.-(R-A pile of imported books, some in fine and costly bindings, others in flimsy paper covers, all condemned by Sen- ator Shoot of Utah, as salacious and obscene, was the center today of the senate's daily tariff wrangle.
 The question at issue was whether the provisions of existing law giving custom officials discretionary power to prevent the importation of such Voumes as they consider immoral are to be continued under the tariff bill now in process of formulation.
 Senator Cutting, republican, New Mexico, denouncing the present sit uation as censorship. was the leader of a vigorous campaign for the re- vocation of the authority now given the customs officials. He had suc- ceeded in resembling this power when the tariff bill was before the senate in committee of the whole and today sought to keep the senate from reversing it's previous action.
 Shoot, the chairman of the finance committee, in charge of the tariff, was the leader of the oppos- ing camp. He had obtained the stack of books from the customs service and haled it before the senate as a specific example of the literature he claims would pour into the coun- try should the customs be removed.
 A single concession was offered by the committee chairman, this an amendment to permit the secretary of the treasury, at his discretion, to books of recognition or established literary or scientific merit" but "only when imported for non-com- mercial purposes"
 Shoots secretary carried the pile of books into the senate chamber yesterday afternoon and stacked them upon the desk of Senator Watson, the republican leader. 1m- mediately. senators from both sides of the aisle gathered about it.. Something less than a dozen books were left when the cluster of sena- tors dispersed.
 Senator Borah of Idaho, propped his feet up on his desk and read until he realized that he was the cause of considerable tittering in tho galleries. He took his feet down and continued to read. A few minutes later he left the cham Der with the book under his arm, to reappear some three hours after ward.
 There was a furry when some- one discovered Bible among the books on Watson's desk, but it de- veloped that it had been planted there by Nye of North Dakota, with certain passages marked.
 Senator Fess, republican, Ohio, rapidly turned the pages of several volumes, sitting straight in his chair and making no comments to his colleagues. Waterman of Colorado, and Frazier of North Dakota, sat side by side and read together.
 Laughter From Galleries
 There was good bit of laughter and nudging in the galleries at the debate, and the reading, proceeded. On the floor there was much joking and heated, but low-voiced protest
 Senator Black, democrat, Ala bama, opposed Shoots view with an assertion that there is "twi- light zone" which includes many books, which some would consider immoral and others accept as liter aturc.
 to Shoots proposal that the secre- tary of the treasury be empowered to admit books of literary or scien- tifc merit for non-commercial pur- poses. He termed the suggestion "ludicrous as well as humorous"

1929 TAR|FE,STUDY
AID TO DISCUSSION
S2,843, 900, 900 Imports Duty
Free of Total Given as
S4,3OO,OOO, 900.

BY the Associated Press.
An important contribution to the
tariff bill discussion has been made by
the Commerce Department in the forn:
of statistical trade analysis showing
just how far domestic import duties
affected American international trade
in 1929
No comparisons were made between
the present tariff duties and those pro-
jected in the bill now going through
the last of its congressional stages.
1929 Tariff Collection.
During 1929, the study shows, of the
total United States imports amounting
to about $4,000, 100000 $2,843, 5000
came in without mourning any duty
under this country'S tariff as it now
exists and $1,566 100000 paid duty.
The greatest single item of tariff coll
lected came from Cuban sugar, which
paid during the year $197,000,000, or
nearly a fourth of the entire amount
collected by the Government from tariff.
The greatest collection of duty-free i'm
ports was arrayed under the classical
ton of raw materials intended for use
in manufacturing, which included 90
per cent of all American imports, with
the most important commodity crude
rubber.
Fifty-fifty Effect.
In the matter of imported foodstuffs
during 1929 the tariff had a $3.50
effect. Foodstuffs imported free of duty
amounted to $525.000,000 in value, while
foodstuffs imported after tariff pay
ment were worth $436,000,000. Cocoa,
coffee and a number of other exotic
products were included in the free COL
lection.
Manufactured goods imported in
CURED the greatest amount of tariff
charge last year. In the category of
partly finished manufactures imports
free from tariff amounted to $500, 000,-
600, while imports subject to duty
amounted to SPAS, 100000. However, on
completely manufactured goods the inn
ports paying duty amounted to $685.
100000 in value, while the imports free
from duty amounted to 1897 100000.
