SENATE IS TOLD
RUM PROFITS
BILLIONS
Rep. Dyer Claims Good Beer
Would Use so Million
Bushels of Grain

Bootlegging is bringing an
annual revenue of two to three
billions of dollars to the crimi-
nal element in the United
States, Representative Dy r
(R.) of Missouri testified be.
fore the Metcalf Senate com
mittee today.
Indorsing the Bingham bill to
legalize 4 per cent beer, he said
the return of good beer would
help restore health, wealth and
prosperity to the nation.
Would Use Grain
He estimated SO to so million
bushels of grain would be used
by the breweries if beer were
legalized. He added:
-Four billion gallons Of beer
are being illegally manufac-
tured in the United States
every year at present."
He also estimated there were
100000 speakeasies throughout
the country.
Asks for Repeal
A demand for repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment, made by
Charles A. Boston, of New York,
former president of the American
Bar Association, was applauded
by the spectators. Boston said he
appeared to refute statements
made at Anti-Saloon gatherings
here that nobody but liquor in
terests were advocating legaliza-
ton of beer, continuing:
"That is not a true state
ment of facts. 1 represent no
interests of any kind. I came
here representing myself as a
citizen and the hundreds have
talked to all over the country"
If the Government had been
able to tax all the beer illegally
manufactured in the United
States during the last fiscal year
it would have received approx
mately $132,000,O00 in revenues,
David Burnet, Commissioner of
Internal Revenues, admitted. In
stead, he said, the Government
had only received 500 in revenues
in that period on legal fermented
liquors.

Congress Like Children,
Playing House, Says Elsie

AS a matter of fact, they all
do eat a great many cookies.
Eating is one of the few real
things that happen in Washing
ton. They are all well fed. Well
dressed. Live in warm rooms.
They talk about troubles, but
they are not really troubled,
themselves.
That doesn't mean they're
heartless. I'll wager there isn't
downright mean or callous per
son on Capitol Hill. They're
regular people. Back home,
they'd dig in and help. Worry
at night about the folks who've
lost their jobs. Give their last
nickle and their last ounce of
strength.
But when they get here--some-
thing happens. They begin to
forget. Each day the prick and
pressure of that ness outside
seems a little further off. And
CAaCS naCul al.
Listen, YOu!"
Yet something in you, some
thing American in you, longs to
rise and cry:
listen, you. You, who sit
here, eating comfortably on our
taxes! Were you ever hungry?
Were you ever homeless? Did
you ever sleep on a park bench
with a newspaper over your
freezing legs?
"Did you ever walk the
streets, week after week, look
ing for a jOb-till the manhood
or the wOmanhOOd in you was
ground to a smear of slime?
"YOu weren't? Then, you
ought to be-befOre you dare
to represent America. For this
country was bought and built
by men like that. BY Shiver-
ing, hungry, desperate, ragged
men. BY men who lived life
real!"

DIES
Of PNEUMONIA

PIKEvILLE, KY, Jan. 18.-For-
mer Representative John w. Lang
ley is dead of pneumonia at the
age of SO.
He was elected to Congress
from the Tenth Kentucky district
10 times and was succeeded in
Washington by his wife.
He was convicted in 1925 of con-
spiracy to withdraw and sell 1,400
cases of bonded whisky from the
Belle of Anderson Distillery at
Lawrenceburg, KY. He served II
months at Atlanta, was paroled in
December, 1926, and later was
granted his full pardon and re-
stored to citizenship by President
Coolidge.
Langley once was a member OF
the Arlington Memorial Bridge
Commission and, by some twist Of
fate, his death occurred on the
same day the completed span was
opened in Washington to public
travel.

Other problems can wait for
solution, but not the problem of
starving people, the Very Rev.
Ignatius Smith. o. p, said at the
Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception yesterday. Urging char
ity and aid for suffering, he said:
"Antagonism between capital
and labor is the greatest evil
that can befalI a nation. Social
reform cannot be accomplished
by human law; it must be
achieved with the help of the
supernatural"

POLICE REFORM
CERTAIN TO
Be PASSED
Citizen Groups Ask for Drastic
Changes; Death for Assault
Is Recommended

HONOLULU, T. H., Jan. 18
QN.S.).-Hawaii set grimly to
work today to erase the stigma
of disgrace placed upon it as a
result of a series of criminal
assaults on white women by
half-caStes, the breakdown OF
a politically dominated police
department and lax admins
tration of territorial laws.
Sweeping aside of old forms
was the task Gov. Lawrence Judd
had consigned to the special Ses-
sion Of the legislature convening
today. The governors program
contemplates a prompt enactment
Of laws radically altering Ha-
waits legal processes to the end
that speedy trials may be OBJ
tanned in criminal proceedings.
Plan New Police Force
One measure of outstanding
Importance calls for a complete
reorganization of Honolulu's po-
lice department through creation
Of a police commission of five
members and control of these
forces by an appointive chief of
police.
Another bill provides for crea-
ton Of a public prosecutor in
criminal cases which step would
automatically deprive the present
county attorne: of jurisdiction.
The death penalty for criminal
attack will be sought.
Civic Groups Back Bills
Reorganization measures are
being unanimously supported by
all civic groups which had a
hand in drafting their provisions
and it was regarded as a fore
gone conclusion that the legis-
lature will acquieSce in their
acceptance with limited debate.
The proposed death penalty for
criminal assault was in doubt,
however, owing to a division of
legislative opinion as to possible
difficulty in effecting convictions
when the extreme penalty is
attached.
Sanford B. D. Wood, United
States Attorney for Hawaii, plans
to depart this week for San Fran
cisco to confer with Seth Rich
ardson, appointed to take charge
Of the Department of Justices
inquiry into conditions in Hawaii.
Wood will accompany Richardson
to Honolulu.

MELONS AIDE
ENDS DEFENSE

Through his counsel, Alexander
W. Gregg. Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon completed his defense
today to the impeachment charges
brought by Representative Wright
Patman CD of Texas before the
House judiciary Committee.
Gregg cC-Itended that Melons
stock ownership in many corpora
tions does not constitute engage
ment in business" within the
meaning of the old law which pro-
hibits a secretary of the Treasury
from engaging in trade and COM
merce.
A decision by the United States
Supreme Court in the Delaware
and Hudson case was cited by
Gregg to support his plea. In this
case the court decided that the
railroads ownership of stock in a
coal mine did not involve the road
in management or direction of the
company.

POSTAGE RAISE
To Be FOUGHT

The proposal of the Admins.
tration to I:nk an increase in
postal rates with the Treasury's
tax boost plan ran into opposi.
ton in the House today.
With Postmaster General Brown
slated to appear before the Ways
and Means Committee this week
to urge Scent postage, Repre-
sentative James Mead CD of
New York, chairman of the Post
office Committee, announced he
would oppose the plan.
Mead said:
Gan increase in postal rates
would bring a reduction in
business and would not cure
the deficit. The deficit is not
caused by low rates but by
lack of business.
"At present, utility cOmpa-
nies are making free use of
postal boxes in apartm n
houses. We could prohibit the
use of these boxes, thus fore
ing these bills to go through
the mails"

This place called Washington

This place called Washington
why doesn't it seem real?
Here it is-just like the post
cards. Big white dome against
a dark blue sky. Narrow marble
corridors. Smells like a church
Feels like ghosts. Staring statues
that look alive.
congressman. Senators. Sec
retaries. Plenty going on-just
as you expected.
But why doesn't the perform
ance click? Why do the words,
the acts, of all these men and
women seem like something in a
dream?
Children Playing House
Suddenly you realize what they
remind you of. Children playing
house. That's it! Ever watch
them?
So terrifically in earnest. Bust
ling about their old packing box.
Calling g themselves papa and
mama. Spanking their "chil-
dren" for being naughty. But
it's all just make-believe. Pres
emily they'll run away and eat
cookies on the back porch.
That's what Congress is like,
People working at an elaborate,
exciting play-game. Going through
important gestures. Making com,
plicated passes at each other
Taking themselves with terrific
seriousness.
But, somehow, it's make-believe
Any moment you expect them to
run away and eat cookies.

ELUde Mr.. YOn's Fist

Panhandling can be dealt with
in variety of ways, from giving
the amount requested to placing
the offender under arrest. Repre-
sentative Thomas Alva Yon CD
Of Florida has his own method.
Four panhandlers accosted him
yesterday in Lafayette Park. One
was so persistent Yon had to
knock him down."

BILL INCREASES
MEDICAL RUM

A renewed offensive for modifi-
cation of prohibition was launched
in Congress today by the wet bloc.
Bills were introduced in both
houses to amend the prohibition
act to permit physicians to pre-
scribe as much liquor as they con-
slider necessary for their patients
and to enable them to do so with
out furnishing a record of their
patients ailments.
The bill was sponsored in the
Senate by Senator Copeland CD
of New York, at the request Of the
American Medical Association,
and in the House by Representa-
tive Beck (RO of Pennsylvania.
