WOOD ALCOHOL
BAN ASKED BY
PHYSICIANS

NEW YORK, Dec. Z UNS).
Charging that more than 400 per
sons died in the winter of 1930-3l
from breathing the vapor Of wood
alcohol or through skin contact
with the poison. the American
Medical Association is seeking
prohibition Of It's use in anti
freeze and other solutions of easy
access.
More than two columns of the
current issue of the journal of
the association are devoted to q
discussion Of the dangers Of using
wood alcohol as a solvent. '.dul-
terant. or in solutions for the pre-
vention of freezing in automobile
radiators.
Most Of the increasing wood al
cohol deaths occur as a result Of
industrial occupations. Attendants
at gasoline filling stations who
get anti.freeze solutions on their
hands several times daily are the
most frequent sufferers.
Others are persons employed in
rooms where the fumes of wood
alcohol are present rs result Of
its use as a solvent in various
chemical solutions.
The association editorial states
that prohibition il largely respon-
Sible for the increase in deaths
from wood alcohol.
Ethyl Cor grain-beverage) alco-
>hol would be as effective in anti
freeze solutions as wood alcohol,
but its use for such purpose is
forbidden.

NEW YORK, Dec. Z 0NSO.
AS start this nightly story Of
the bridge hands in the Culbert-
son-LenZ match for the readers Of
The Washington Times and Inter.
national News Service, I feel that
I must point out that most Of the
masculine bridge players Of the
country have condemned me, men
tally at least, to an early death in
the arena of bridge. For the first
time a woman is preSuming to
invade another exclusively mas
culine field. She is fighting in
a battle Of the century"
Masculine superiority has as
Sured most men that I will crack
under the strain of the gruelling
competition. Mr.. CulbertSon as
SureS me that I have been chosen
as his partner because, in spite
Of my apparent nervousness be-
fore every big match, I do not
crack!
The lords OF creation, therefore
may take it from a man who
should know that the feminine
half of the Culbertson team will
last through her part of the con
test.
Test of Two Systems
A great deal of Importance is
being attached to the Culbertson.
Lenz match by the bridge players
of the country because it is a
test of two contract systems-the
approach : forcing (CulbertsonD
system and Mr.. Lenz's one-two-
three version of the official sys.
tenn.
Except for this and the awe
inspiring trappings, the match
will be. in almost every respect,
just bridge game.

Increase of taxes in the APP
preaching session of Congress con-
tinues to be regarded as virtually
certainty. At the same time, it
becomes more and more clear that
there will be great conflict of
opinion as to how tax revision
should be accomplished.
ooo0ooo
A battle to finish will be fou-
ght in both houses over the ques-
ton of combining the new taxes to
the wealthy through surtaXes,
higher estate taxes and gift taxes
and of extending the tax base so
as to lower exemptions and add to
the income tax collections from
millions of people of moderate and
small means. Furthermore, there
will be a conflict in both houses
over the sales tax and excise tax
es. While it is conceded no gen.
eral sales tax can pass Congress,
the Treasury is expected to advo-
cate selective sales tax on ar
ticles which the advocates of this
tax will call luxuries, including
automobiles and radios, and such
taxes have a number of advocates
in both houses.

Garner insisted. And in such things
usually she has her way.
When it comes to dressing up,
Garner in the past has had little
time or inclination for that sort of
thing. If friends are to be believed,
it is nothing short of an ordeal for
Mrs. Garner to get him into the
hands of tailor when he needs a
new suit.
Often it is necessary to resort to
subterfuge and trickery. Only
when he is "at bay" will he submit
to the tailor's tape measure.
One day he appeared on the
floor of the house with becoming
brown suit. 1t was subject of
wide comment. The boys in the
press gallery who see him every
day were the most impressed.

The business which brought For
eign Minister Grandi to Washing
ton was practically completed in
conversation, lasting 212 hours
with President Hoover and Secre-
tary Stimson. All accomplished,
apparently, was that the President
and his Secretary of State were
made acquainted with Italy's point
| of view ON most questions of mu-
tual interest, while Signor Grandi
learned the American attitude con-
cerning these questions. The con-
versation was entirely informal.
No agenda or program was pre-
sented by either side. No written
memoranda were exchanged. No
agreements or understandings were
reached and no attempt was made
to reach any. With the excep-
tion of an exchange of views on
next years disarmament confer
ence at Geneva, the conversation
was confined to economic matters.
One curious omission from the dis
cussion was the American tariff.

/ If the Administration insists up
on boosting taxes at the forthcom-
ing session of Congress, as many
Republican leaders now think it
will, Democrats probably will ad-
here to party principle in demands
that the increases be imposed upon
those whose incomes run into the
higher brackets. Predictions to
this effect were made by Senator
Harrison, Mississippi, ranking Dem
ocratic member of the Senate Fl
nance Committee. He remarked,
however, that the party's position
ON the matter would not be deter
mined until there had been con-
ference of Democratic members of
the Finance Committee and the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee, advised by other party leaders
and by financial experts.

Incidentally, it will be interest

They stuck close to their modest

at old Congress Hall on the hill,
Garner would play bridge with
some close friends at night, but
that was about all.
