SOVIET DRILLS
MILLIONS FOR
CALL TO WAR
All Russia Is Made Ready
for Defense Conflict If
Need Arises.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press STAFF Correspondent

MOSCOW, April 25.-All Com
munists Of military age are being
prepared for active defense of the
Soviet Union at moments no.
tice, it was learned today.
This makes practically the entire
physically-fit population held in
readiness for national defense.
Meanwhile, bread rations sharply
were reduced in many parts of the
country, due to the need for large
additional military grain reserves,
including considerable shipments to
the Manchurian-S Siberian frontier.
Sugar rations also have been cur
tailed recently.
Bread rations we're reduced as
much as SO per cent at Krarkov,
Minsk, and other cities. Reduction
has not started here or at Lenin-
grad, but is expected soon after
May day.
Millions Can Be Modified
Communists of military age were
understood to be undergoing phys
ical examinations, and other tests
to determine their fitness for mill
tary or auxiliary service.
On the basis of examining and
registering men for these services,
author les would be able to mobilize
millions Of loyalist supporters with
out loss Of time.
The tradition of military heroism
during the interventionist wars in
the early years of the revolution is
one of the proudest heritages of
young Communists, who would
shoulder the heaviest burdens in
the event of war.
Youths Under Training
Almost the entire 100000 men,
bership of Communist youth organ
izations as we'll as the 100000
members of the Communist party
include military training as an i'm
portant part of their activity.
The 100000 members of the So
ciety of aviation and chemical de-
Tense are being reorganized almost
on wartime basis. Members who
formerly did little more than pay
their dues or attend mass meetings
now are obliged to specialize in some
form Of military activities.
Military training and gas mask
drills are carried out in every school,
factory and institution in the coun-
try.

Blind Mother Gives Up
Six Children That They

CPRING is here, but it is winter
~ in the heart of Mrs. Clara
Weidman, blind mother of six
children.
Unable to provide suitable
home, the mother has given the
children, the youngest 4, into the
care of the juvenile court.
The husband and father, Fred
Weidman, Al, of $40 Buchanan

term because of his failure to sup
port his family. A long record of
nonsupport, drinking and friend

lated to Judge John F. Geckler
in juvenile court.
Mrs. Wejdman's career as a
mother began eighteen years ago.
For the last three years she has
been blind and also deprived of
the sense of smell.
Weidman abused the children,
the mother told the court. She
asked protection be given them,
and placing their welfare above
her mother love, she told Geek
Ter:
Il am willing to be separated
from my children if they can have
proper homes.
Juvenile authorities will place
the children in an orphanage.

WASHINGTON, March "a. -
Qualification on the part of Sena-
tor George w. Norris that his anti
injunction bill has become law at
last, was mixed today with appre-
hension that the manner of its ap-
proval by President Herbert Hoover
may lead to attacks upon it in the
courts.
The President, in signing the bill,
made public a statement from At
torney- General William D. Mitchell
calling attention to charges that the
bill is unconstitutional, and declin-
ing to express an opinion upon
them. This is unusual procedure.
Il have no doubt that the anti
injunction bill is constitutional -
said Norris, who, as chairman of the
senate judiciary committee, . has
studied the matter for the last five
years.
ct have looked up every possible
contingency, and cited numerous
decisions supporting my position
during debate on the floor of the
senate.
However, I suppose the attorney
generals statement may be used as
a peg by some judge desiring to
find the measure unconstitutional"
Mitchell, in reporting to the
President on the bill said: "Objec-
tons have been made to this
measure because of the alleged un-
constitutionality of some Of its pro-
visions, among which are those re-
lating to contracts between en-
ployers and employees by which the
latter agree not to be members of

FRIENDS FAIL
DALE; WATSON
COMES TO AID
G. 0. P. Senator Puts One
Over on Democrats,
Seeking to Dodge Issue.
BY WALKER STONE
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, March "a
Senator James E. Watson, veteran
Indiana Republican leader, today
left the Hoosier Democratic dele
cation in congress looking sheepish
and foolish when he stole their
thunder in the George Dale Muncie
liquor conspiracy case.
While the nine Indiana Demo-
Gratis in the house had their heads
together, apparently trying to find
way to evade Mayor Dale's SIM
pie request that they escort him to
the Office of Attorney-G General Will
liam Mitchell, Watson came for
ward with a magnanimous gesture
and volunteered to perform the
courtesy.
For two days, the Hoosier Demo-
Gratis had been talking about doing
something for Dale. They agreed
he was entitled to an audience with
the general, but they
couldn't decide exactly who should
secure the audience. Each tried to
shift the responsibility.
Enters Jim Watson
It was while Dale was being
shunted from one to another of
his fellow Democrats that Watson
heard of the matter.
why, sure, I'll take George Dale
to the attorney general" blurted
the dean of Indiana Republicans.
TITS only an act of common cour-
tesy, of common decency. George
Dale is citizen and every citizen

When informed of Watson's
offer, Dale Immediately accepted.
isn't it queer" observed the
Muncie f1rebrand, "that when !
need friend find one in that old
cuss, Jim Watson. While my fellow
Democrats hesitate, Jim acts"
The only request that Dale had
made of the Indiana Democrats was
that they introduce him to the at
torney-general and tell the at
torney- general that he was a per-
son entitled to a respectful au-
dience. Dale had not asked that his
Democratic friends vouch for his
innocence on the liquor conspiracy
charges.
Brief Riddles Charges
With no aid, Dale had prepared
a brief, knocking down, one by one,
the counts in the indictment which
caused the arrest of himself and
twelve others in the Muncie case.
His brief commended that the in

SALES TAX IS
SEEN DOOMED.
VOTE IS NEAR
Measures Foes viii Fight
to Put Burden on Incomes,
Estates and LuxurieS.
SUPPORTERS WORRIED
Amendment Exempting
Food and Clothing Final
Effort to Win Passage.
BY MARSHALL MNEIL
Tlmes Stan Writer

WASHINGTON. March 24.-Be-
lief that the sales YAK will be de-
feated, pervaded the capitol today
as the time approached for the
house to vote on it, The showdown
will be reached this afternoon. De-
bate was to end at 2 p. m.
Foes of the $500 100000 levy on
consumers predicted it would be
stricken from the S1,1O0, 900, 900
Democratic revenue bill, and the
tax burden would be shifted by in
come, estate and luxury taxes to
those most able TO pay. Sales tax
advocates for the most part main
tanned worried silence.
The parliamentary situation, how
ever, appeared to favor acting
Chairman Charles r. Crisp of the
ways and means committee, chief
supporter of the sales levy.
His amendment exempting food
clothing, farm implements and
medicine from the 225 per cent tax
will be voted on before the house
can act on the motion Of Rep
resentauve Robert l.. Doughton
Dem, N. c., to strike the sales
tax provision completely from the
bill.
Principle Inf1ames Foes
Indeed, even before the vote on
Crisp's committee amendment. gen.
orally conceded to be a last minute
effort of the conservative leadership
Of both parties to corral votes for
the tax, other perfecting amend
ments widening the list of exemp-
tions must be disposed of.
But even if Crisp's amendment
prevails. the Democratic bill still
would levy more than $500, 900, 900 in
sales taxes, and it is about this, and
the fact that the principle would be
undisturbed, that the opposition is
rallying.
Sales tax opponents also are in
vestigating what they fear is n
Joker" in the Crisp amendment, in
volving the question whether the
provision would not levy upon the
articles used in making the exempted
foods, medicines, etc. If this levy
is imposed, it would have the effect
of extending the tax through the
manufacturer to the consumer of
the exempted articles.
Substitute Is Puzzle
Part of today's crucial engage
ment is the controversy over what,
If anything, to substitute for the
general sales tax if eliminated, and
how far to go in special excuses on
luxurieS and semi-luxuries, if it is
emaSculated.
Doughton and Representative Flo
relic H. La Guardia CRep., N. ",
leaders of the anti-sales tax forces,
apparently prefer to have the bill
sent back to Crisp's committee. But
Crisp wants it rewritten on the
floor.
The committee undoubtedly would
offer the house the entire original
Mellon program, which in
cludes taxes on automobile, radios,
monographs, higher postage rates,
higher tobacco taxes, and stamp
taxes on bank checks and drafts.
La Guardia has his own subSti-
tutes. including a higher levy on
Wall Street stock transfers than
the Accent stamp tax proposed by
the committee.
