LIQUOR ALSO

Dentists have at last been put
upon an equal footing with ply
sicians, so far as prohibition en-
forcement is concerned.
Under the new regulations is
sued by Secretary Of the Treas
ury Mellon, going into effect
April /, they are permitted to
purchase six quarts Of liquor per
ealendar year for office use.
Heretofore they have been de-
uied any alcohol for office use,
although they have been ac-
corded the right to procure two
gallons of alcohol for nonbever-
age purposes.
Doctors Make Complaint
Physicians also are limited in
the new rules to six quarts of
Iiuuor per annum and to five gal
Ions of alcohol. They have pro,
tested bitterly against this limita-
= kiOn, but have been unsuccessful
in obtaining more liberal treat
ment.
There is no change in the pro-
vision limiting the physician to
100 prescription blanks a month
or to one pint of whisky a patti
ent in a 10 days period.
Wine Permits Same
VinOus liquors prescribed shall
not contain more than "a per
cent of alcohol by volume or shall
more than quart of such liquor
be subscribed to single patient
in a 10 days period.
Only minor changes are made
with reference to the regulations
for the issuance of permits for
wine to be used for religious pur-
poses.
Families may obtain wine for
religious rites in the home, to a
maximum of five gallons a year,
although a greater quantity may
be allowed where necessary"

German Progress
Lauded by Speaker
Staff Photo

Germany was described as "the
most progressive country in Europe
today by Robert ]. Eustace, indus
trial commissioner of the Toledo
Chamber of Commerce, in an ad-
dress before the Washington
Rotary Club at the Willard Hotel.
He has just returned from an
extended visit to that country
where he conferred with industrial
and business leaders. He described
the German people as being eX-
ceptionally industrious and pro-
gressive and said American goods
are popular there. German lead
ers feel the rich capitalistic ma
tions must join forces to combat
the wave of Communism which
is a present worldwide peril"

PLAN To SPEED
AUTOS BACKED.
EX-SENATOR
Principal Arteries Of Travel
Would Be Marked; Widening
of Thoroughfares Favored

Impressed by the traffic muddle
caused by the jam of Easter
tourists, Senator Hiram Bingham,
of Connecticut, chairman Of the
District Subcommittee of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee to-
day advanced two suggestions for
speeding up movement of auto
mobiles on the city streets.
One suggestion is to speed the
program of widening streets which
must carry the brunt Of rush
hour traffic. The other is that
streets upon which large volume
of traffic moves during the rush
hours be divided into traffic
lanes by white lines.
Lanes are Proposed
These marked streets would in
clude such thoroughfares as
Sixteenth Street and Rhode
Island Avenue. In the morning
when traffic is moving down
town, if the street were divided
into four lanes, three of them
would be devoted to traffic NOV
ing downtown, and one left open
for traffic in the opposite direc-
ton.
In the evening, when the larger
volume of traffic would be NOV
ing out of the cOngested area,
three lanes would be devoted to
such traffic and one for down
tOwn-bound machines.
Senator Bingham also suggested
that during rush hours certain
streets carrying heavy traffic
might be made "one-way." While
mentioning no specific streets
which he would designate under
this suggestion, Senator Bingham
sited as an instance what might
be done, the possibility of making
Sixteenth Street. available only
for south bound traffic for an
hour or two in the morning and
then making it "one-Way" for
north bound traffic for an hour
or two in the evening rush hour.
Senator Bingham indicated
that when the next District ap'
preparation bill is under consid-
Grafton he will urge that funds
be made available for widening
streets which must carry heavy
flow Of traffic.

REED To FIGHT
PENSIONS FOR
OFFICIALS
Senator E'iII Revive Bill to
Prevent High-SaIaried Men
Drawing Disability Bonus

Data and figures upon which
he will base a determined fight
to stop the payment Of disability
allowances to Government off
cials drawing large salaries, are
being gathered by David A. Reed,
chairman of the Senate Military
Affairs Committee.
Senator Reed, during the last
session endeavored to wipe out
this condition which he describes
as Shocking and scandalOuS" but
was unsuccessful.
Attention has again been called
to the condition by the filing of
suit in the District Supreme
Court which would prevent the
payment of allowances under the
Emergency Officers Retirement
law to William Wolff Smith, chief
counsel of the Veterans Bureau.
Smith draws $4,000 annual
salary and $2,250 annually for
disability allowances under the
Emergency Officers Retirement
Act.
Senator Reed declared today
that there is absolutely no eX-
cuse for granting disability pay
under the retirement act to those
who physically qualified to draw
large salaries from Government
bureaus.
There are dozens of officials of
the Veterans Bureau, both in
Washington and in other cities,
who are drawing this money, Sen
ator Reed said. Apparently the
only way to abolish the practice
is through passage of a new law
or through amendment to the re-
tirement act.
Will Change Bill
During the last session, Senator
Reed introduced an amendment
to the independent officers ap-
preparation bill which would have
prohibited the payment Of allow
ances under the emergency Of
ficers' retirement act to those
who are drawing $4,000 or more in
Government salaries
Senator Reed said today that
in the coming session he intends
to introduce similar legislation
but that he is revising it. One
of the principal changes will be
to substitute $4,000 for the $4,000
maximum salary.

He Talked of Rain
With StimSon

Montagu Norman, governor

companied by George L. Harri-
son, governor of the Federal
Reserve Bank in New York,
conferred with Secretary of
State Stimson fof nearly an
hour today. When they came
out Montagu joked reporters,
saying:
81 don't believe you are
newspapermen. Anyhow 1 didn't
talk about silver and I didn't
talk about finance because I
don't know finance. We talked
about the rain and all the good
it will do"
Asked if England needed
rain as badly as this country
he asked: DO you mean rain
or liquidation," and ended the
interview.
The bankers leave for New
York this afternoon after a

CONVINCE
SLAYER
Says Something Should Be
Done With Him, If Guilty;
Injured While Driving Car

George Pierce Tucker is finally
convinced that he murdered En-
ma Kirk, aged spinSter, in her
umbrella shop at 819 r st. N.
W., five years ago.
Admitting now he firmly be.
lieves he killed the 7O-year-Old
woman, Tucker declared today he
feels something should be done to
him so that there may be no
repetition of his crime.
Brought here last night from
Los Angeles, where he sulren'
dered to police several weeks ago,
Tucker declared that he was not
certain as to whether or not he
had actually committed the
crime.
Finally Is Convinced
Today, however, after studying
the fingerprint found on the slain
woman's glasses and his own fin
gerprints, he seemed to realize
definitely for the first time that
he had killed the woman.
Police declare his case is the
most unique in the annals OF
washington crime. The man, they
said. is making no attempt to
hide the facts or to shift respor-
sibility, but is frankly anxious to
discover his guilt. He said:
"If / am guilty, must be
Put away and taken care of, for
otherwise 1 might kill someone
else.
He Might Repeat Crime
81 have no memory of this
crime, and there is the danger
that / might repeat 1t again
under similar circumstances. I
have wife and child and many
dear friends. They must be pro
tected from me-"
Inspector William S. Shelby de-
clared that Tucker is the most
peculiar mental type he has ever
seen. The inspector said:
"There is no doubt but that
Tucker is guilty, and yet l be-
lieve he tells the truth when
he says he has no memory OF
the crime.
"He has q keen mind, is ap-
parently Shrewd, well educated,
and has a very good memory.
1t is perfectly possible, however,
that he is suffering from 0
homicidal mania, which might
attack him and leave him with
no memory of what transpired.
"Tucker is apparently telling
us the truth, as far as he is
able. / do not know what dis
position we can make of this
case, it is so unique. There was
no apparent motive for the
crime"
A possible solution to fuckers
mental condition was given by the
man to police as they quizzed
him. He explained that he was
formerly an automobile racing
driver. A number of years ago,
he said, while in a race, his car
left the track out of control,
crashed through the guard raid
and overturned, pinning Tucker
beneath it.
He was removed to a hospital
and remained unconscious for Is
deys. He thinks, and police agree
with him, that the injuries re-
ceived in this accident may have
so deranged his mind, that period
ically he loses all semblance Of
normalcy.
