OFFICER
 EXPOSES SECRETS
Beer Runner Tells Of Method Of
 "Squaring Police"

Chicago Oct. IS P>-The man the police say is the "payoff man" on the northwest side for Al Capone notorious gang leader, did some talking and as a result the police asserted they heard some interest," ing things about the beer business in Chicago.
 Frank Lawler, a former garage mechanic, arrested in his expensive suite in a Loop hotel with s1,000 in currency in his pockets and with s6,00o in bills in a safety deposit box, is the man who talked.
 At o'clock each morning, Lawler has been driving his expensive sedan to the south side, where a large and fast truck loaded with beer and covered with tarpaulin rolls up, he said. He added that his business was been to follow up the truck to warn the driver in case an officer is seen.
 "Of course,' he was quoted as saying, If a copper stops us, we carry a roll of bills for that
 The utmost secrecy. according to Lawler, is maintained within the gang. One man, he said, drives the truck from the brewery, another to an intermediate point, while a third takes it on to the speakeasies. This system, he explained, makes it pos sible for only one driver to know the brewery's location and only one to know where the customers are to be found.

BRIDGEPORT EDITOR .
 ACQUIRES BREWERY
Near Beer and Malt to Be Made Un- til Stronger Beverage Is
 Legalized

Hartford, Oct. 1S-Believing that the manufacture of beer will be le- galized within two years, a corpora tion headed by Richard Howell, editor of the Bridgeport Herald, and composed of Bridgeport and New York men, is being organized to oc- cupy the old New England brewery in this city for the immediate pro- duction of near beer and malt.
 Details of the plan were >announc- ed yesterday after the brewery pro- perty on Windsor street, built S3 years ago at a cost of $316,000, was bought at auction for s2S,100 by Howell's representatives who an nounced that the corporation will reopen the brewery as soon as re- pairs have been made.
 Five minutes of spirited bidding were sufficient to bring the auction to a close. The valuation of the land was given at s76,104 and the build ings at s47,000.
 The plant is said to be the most modern equipped brewing plant in New England. In 1927 it was clos ed after an unsuccessful attempt 10 procure a reduction in taxes. When the plant was abandoned taxes to- taling $22,594.20 remained unpaid, it is said.

 Senator Carter Glass. dem. Va. former secretary of the treasury was appointed chairman of a sub committe to conduct this inquiry. Glass has indicated his committee will begin work about the middle of November. ,-: Some republicans are desirous of an independent investigation. Sen- | ator Simeon D. Fess, rep, Ohio. chairman of the republican na- | tional committee, is understood to oppose this, although he recently said some of his party leaders were disturbed that the market has shown a tendency to drop after every op- timistic statement from the admin istration.
 Jouett Shouse, chairman of the democratic national executive con- mittee. issued a statement yesterday commenting on Fess' intimation that the democrats were pushing the market down.
 Perhaps the next invention along this line," Shouse said, will be that the democrats plotted and Connived to effect the enactment of the Grundy tariff and the Hoover farm relief plan in order that they might further discredit President Hoover before the people by charging these

NEW PARTY PLANS
 AMERICAN UTOPIA
Would Have Government Make
 and Sell Liquor

Springfield, H., Oct. Is (UP)- A "Utopian" form of government under which no individual would be in possession of more than s100,00o for longer than one week was pro- posed yesterday by the American national party.
 Details of the plan suggested by the new party were contained in campaign leaflets describing the aims and ambitions of it's platform. Distribution of 100000 leaflets will be made in Illinois,.
 Plans of the party would make the United States a Garden of Para disc" according to the party plat form, and under the new form of government ''all idle Americans would be employed and enriched beyond their dreams"
 The platform provides for build ing of homes at cost of construction; government control of all utilities, monopolies and trusts, and perma- ncnt establishment of business suc- cess by heavy taxes on hoarded money.
 Unemployment would be solved by engaging the government in farming, oil producing, mining and transportation. The government would float a bond issue of s12,0O0,- 100000 to provide funds for taking control of business and industries. Describing the conditions which would exist under the new govern ment, the leaflet declared:
 ''The United States would feed nations having food shortages, dom- mate the economic life of the world, win the good will of all humanity and tend to make the en- tire world a Utopia.
 ,"The government would distill, ferment and brew alcoholic bever- ages and sell them under regulations compatible with the health and well fare of the people. Money derived from this source would be used for supporting a system of vocational schools.
 "All in all. the plan would provide work for 10,000,000 persons and in- sure lasting prosperity"
 The party has chosen Ernest Stout, Sr., Chicago lawyer and for mer newspaperman, as it's candidate for United States senator and has selected a full ticket for state of- fees.

 FOR STOCK PROBE
Republicans Fear Manipulation to Discredit Hoover Regime

Washington. Oct. IS (UP)-New demands for an investigation of the New York Stock Exchange appeared likely yesterday to result from the view of some republicans that the market is being manipulated to dis credit ( Hoover administration.
 The possibility of such manipula- tion has been a subject of discus sion among republicans ever since Rep. Will Wood, Ind, openly charg- ed it last spring.
 The advisability of an inquiry in to the charges was discussed by re- publican leaders at that time, but nothing came of it. The topic is now being revived among some party leaders.
 New demands for regulation of market speculation also are expected to be made in the next congress as a result of recent developments. The conference last Sunday between President Hoover and heads of the stock exchange has stirred private discussion of this subject

MANY PROBLEMS
 AWAIT CONGRESS High Speed Will Be Needed to
 Complete Work

Washington, Oct. IS (P) - The legislative machinery of the short December session will have to be geared and greased for high speed to permit congressional action on the many and varied proposals sug- gested for enactment.
 In addition to numerous measures left over from the long session a large number of bills calling for greater participation by the federal government in the activities of the states are expected by republican and democratic leaders in both sen- ate and house.
 Federal Aid Plans
 In surveying announcements of candidates in the off-year election campaign the leaders view with some concern the trend of the proposals for federal aid of vast proportions Federal aid for public schools. feed and fertilizer loans to farmers, in creased contribution to the states highway funds, reimbursement to the states for damage by both drought and flood and old age pensions have been sponsored in the campaign.
 In addition, congress expects to be confronted with the problem of enacting a uniform pension law for veterans of all wars.
 With a disparity of s20 a month existing between the pensions grant, ed Spanish and World War veterans under acts of the last session, President Hoover is expect ed to recommend that congress make study looking to enactment of a law to place veterans of all wars on more uniform basis.
 Proposals to broaden the act cre- ating the federal farm board to give more assistance to agriculture are expected, also measures to curb in- terstate stock market speculation.
 Bus Legislation
 The bill to regulate interstate mo- tor bus lines reached a point at the last session to practically assure final action at the short assembly, The ten year old controversy over disposal of Muscle Shoals remains in dispute between the senate and house.
 Plans have been laid for small rivers and harbors bill. With army engineers supported by valley states in their recommendation for re- vision of the Jadwin Mississippi riv- CT flood control plan, favorable ac- tfon on measure to accomplish this is expected.
 The Hoover law enforcement com missions measures for relief of court congestion passed by the house last session, are pending in the senate, where action may be further de- layed.
 It is considered improbable that legislation affecting railroad con- solidations will be formulated.
 Naval ship building, army hous- ing and veterans disqualification, are among the questions which also confront the December congress.
