Submit Question to States in
New Amendment.

BY the Associated Press
Congress will be asked by Senator
Bingham, Republican, of Connecticut
to provide national referendum on

Bingham has completed q resolution
calling for repeal of the eighteenth

modification he said. "I know Of
some drys who will be willing to sup
port this because they believe in q
referendum. The drys ought not to
olock an attempt to give people q vote
Bingham's amendment would state:

La FONTA|NE TELLS
OF GAMING CAREER;
SENTENCE PUT OFF
Judge to Announce Penalty
Within Few Days in In

James A. La Fontaine will be SEN
fenced within a few days for income
tax evasion, Judge w. Calvin Chestnut
announced this afternoon in United
States District Court at Baltimore after
the 63-year-old Washington gambler
testified in his own behalf.
La Fontaine, who pleaded guilty yes
terday to the second count of an indict-
ment charging failure to pay income
taxes in 1925 and 1927, was called to
the stand by his attorneys after they
had made impassioned pleas in his de-
tense.
A quietly dressed, mild-mannered lit
tie man, with bushy gray hair, La Fon-
tame explained TO the court in a voice
hardly above whisper why he had not
paid taxes on his gambling profits. He
said he had thought such illegal income
immune from taxation until, in 1927,
some one told me 1 was improperly
making returns"

who told you that" asked Judge
Chestnut.
Il couldn't tell you to save my life"
replied La Fontaine.
1T might have been my attorney,
Mr.. Mackey (Crandall Mackey, former
Commonwealth attorney for Arlington
County, Va) or it might have been
some one in the department, perhaps
one of the agents.
It don't know where it was, either
1t might have been at the race track.
But was told, that is absolutely true"
La Fontaine told the court he had
been a, gambler all my life"
II started out in 1893" he said
but quit in 1911, until 1914 when
started up again"
He said his income over the years
from 1914 had been around $500, 900
and that he always kept several hun
dred thousand in the house to pay
off my gambling debts" Except for
what he kept in the house." he said,
the rest was deposited in a Prince
Georges County bank under an &C

At the same time oficial circles fatty

a necessary condition for its approval
Of a Manchurian investigation by an
official commission of the League of

It was emphasized, however. that
Japan considers this as a considerable

to compromise on a twofold sugges-
tion-that the. League should send q

he would be glad to do SO If he could
get support in the Senate for its adop-
ton.
The California Senator was asked
whether he planned to get into the race
for the Republican presidential nomt-
nation. His reply was that If he ever
entered the campaign he would an
nounce it to the press.
Another question put to the Senator
was whett or any effort was being made
in his State to take the delegation to
the next Republican National Conven-
ton away from President Hoover. His
reply was:
II know no present effort to take the
delegation away from Mr.. Hoover"
Senator johnson said the moratorium
on intergovernmental debt was for the
sole purpose of stabilizing the secur-
tiles held by the international bankers
and to see that they are paid full in

Senator johnson said the morato-

GRAND| ARRIVES
IN PHILADELPHIA
Leaves for Quaker City After
New York ReCep-
ton.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 20-Foreign
Minister Dino Grand of Italy left for
Philadelphia. in special train from
Jersey City at 1918 this morning
after a flying visit to New York for
an official welcome by Mayor James
j. Walker. He reached the Quaker
City at 1:05 pm.
Before giving his parting Fascist
salute and leaving for Philadelphia,
Grandi said the metropolis had stirred
his SOUL
II am moved and amazed by New
York." he declared. THE welcome
touches me deeply. The city stirs my
soul
Sees Symbol of Power.
IT see these great buildings. these
masses of people as symbols of great
pendouS and q beautiful sight"
Coming from Washington, where fol-
several days he bad been considering
matters of world welfare with President
Hoover, Grandi was brought to the
Battery from the Jersey shore on the
welcoming tug Macon as harbor craft
Saluted him with screaming sirens.
Dressed in formal morning attire and
In high spirits, the youthful black
bearded diplomat climbed to the Ma
CONS pilot house and personally re-
turned the vociferous salutes, grinning
boyiShly as he pulled at the lanyard
of the Macon siren.
Crowds Are Friendly.
The Italian visitor reached New York
before o'clock end the crowds along
Broadway, outside of office workers
nurrying to thsir tasks, were small,
but friendly. Several thousand were
gathered at City Hall, however, and
when Grand appeared on a balcony to
fling high his hand in the Fascist sa-
lutte hundreds of hands rose from the
throng In answering salutation. and
prolonged cheers we're punctuated with
enthusiastic cries of Viva Dino"
Mayor James j. Walker delivered q
welcoming address and pinned the
Medal of the City of New York on the
visitors breast.
Returning to the Battery along a
Broadway already cleaned of the paper
snowstorm which had fallen in his
honor on his arrival Grandi left New
York just two hours after he came here.
The Macon took him back across the
foggy harbor to Jersey City to proceed
at once to Philadelphia, where he was
to be rejoined by Signora Grandi.
Guarded by Police.
Hundreds of police had been assigned
to special duty because of warnings that
there might be some demonstration by
anti-Fascist groups, but the whole cere-
mony of welcome, both popular and
official, passed off without the slightest
sign of disorder.
Mayor Walker welcomed the youthful
italian minister with series of WITH

CAP0NE LIQUOR CASE
MAY BE ABANDONED
Government Officials Say Tax.
Dodging Conviction Prevents
Conspiracy Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 20.-Alphonse
Capone apparently has escaped trial
for liquor conspiracy
Government officials said today that
Capone's conviction and 11-year SEN
tence as a tax dodger would keep him
from being tried on the liquor charge.
Their statements followed the surren-
der yesterday of Joe Fusco, public
enemy said by police to be a Capone
agent in charge of beer manufacture
and distribution. F1lsco is one of more
than go men indicted with Capone on
the conspiracy charge.
Under present circumstances it would
be futile to try Capone, Samuel G.
ClawSon, q Government attorney, said.
ANY sentence he might receive
probably would be made concurrent by
the judge, allowing him to serve it
out along with the income tax SEN
tence," he added.
The conspiracy trial, prosecutors
said, probably would be started within
a few weeks,
