willing, we shall continue on to

Those words contain the germ Of
the idea which dominates every sue
cessful newspaper and nearly every
newspaper will subscribe to the senti-
ment.
The best newspapers make no pre-
tensions to being what they are not.
Primarily they are business institu-
tons and opportunities Of earning a
living, often for many persons. But,
If they are real newspapers, they are
more than that. They chronicle the
events Of their times. They boost but
rarely do they get credit; they serve
and often are snubbed; their good
deeds often 60 unnoticed and their
sins OF commission or omission some
times are subjects for caustic COM
ment.
But "the game" goes on. II they
are honest with themselves and with
the public, they survive and anniver-
saries come to them. They look down
the lane of their own history, shad-
owed by the years and studded here
and there with achievements and
Joys, defeats and disappointments.
They look into the future with hope
which comes to them from the past.
They make a new pledge to the old
faith: God willing, We shall continue
on to the very end"
What finer expression of adherence
to an ideal?

MOTHER SCORNS
COURTS ORDER
Father HitChhikeS $500
Miles to See Sons;
Waits Patiently.

A patient and devoted father,
Makhitar Mooradian, 40, of Los
Angeles, waited five hours in iuve-
nile court today to give his sons
some toys and candy, but they did
not come.
Their mother, Mooradians di-
vorced wife, failed to obey Judge
Geckler's order to bring them to
court for two-hour Christmas visit
With the father.
Mooradian hitchiked $500 miles
to see his children, but found legal
difficulties facing him when he ar
rived.
His former wife. now Mrs. Azniv
Mooradian Nahigian, of 1888 North
western avenue, refused to let him
visit his sons, Gabriel, 6, and Vach-
ran, 5.
Mooradian's earnest plea, Il liked
all the way from California to see
my. boys" won the ear of Judge
Geckler Wednesday.
Geckler ruled the father had a le-
gal right to see his own flesh and
blood" John Haramy, the moth
er's attorney, informed the court he
could not convince the mother she
must bring the children into court.
Court attaches went to fulfill the
judges order and promised to bring
Mrs. Nahigian and the sons to see
the father. They advised Mooradian
to wait a rev hours longer.
Mooradian said today, "As soon as
l see my sons will take to the road
and thumb my way back to the west
coast"

Theft SUSPECT
Slain BY COPS
Shot Down by Officers in
Attempt to Escape in
Stolen Auto.

An unidentified Negro youth was
shot and killed by police today in
an attempt to escape from a stolen
automobile near Fourteenth street
and Capitol avenue.
He was shot through the head
and once in the leg after he and
companion leaped from the stolen
car as it crashed into a police squad
car under Sergeant Dan Cummins.
The companion escaped, apparently
unhurt.
Sergeant Cummins and patrol
men Walter Raase and Orville
Guinett sighted the stolen car with
in a few minutes after receiving
radio reports of its theft. Seeing it
approaching, Quinett swung the po-
ice car sideways of the street, block
ing path of the stolen auto, which
then struck the police squad car.
Cummins and Baase leaped to the
street where Quinett was talking to
George Stivers, 1925 North Oxford
street, delivery man for the Kiefena
Stewart Drug Company, who had
complained of thefts of supplies
from a truck.
Cummins commanded the flee
ing Negroes to halt. All three po-
licemen then fired shots when the
command was disregarded. The Ne
gro was dead when his pursuers
reached the body.
Persons in the vicinity partially
identified the dead youth as being
named Anderson. The address was
unknown. The body was sent to city
morgue.

Hoover Veto Feared
}n Lnited Press

ny 1 NttGU PtGSS
WASHINGTON, Dec. ga presi-
Dental veto today appeared to be
the one real obstacle in the way of
swift modification of national pro-
hibition.
Authoritative polls indicated the
senate, after much argument, prob
ably would follow the lead of the
house, which with unprecedented
speed and decisiveneSS passed the
Collier bill legalizing 80 per cent
beer.
Authoritative and undenied in
formation had reached the Capitol
that President Hoover, under no
conditions, will sign any sort of a
beer bill.
Modif1cationists, although now in
the majority, lack the two-thirds
strength necessary to override a
veto. Hence it is believed beer will
have to wait for the new Democratic
congress and administration.
The vote IF $50 to 165 rolled up in
the house for the beer bill fell
short of the two-thirds mark by
more than thirty. The senate tally
is expected to be still closer.
The senate, however, is expected
to proceed much more deliberately
and slowly than did the house, with
the drys putting up a determined

1t was prepared by Cuth-
bertson, who recently retired
from the commission where he
had written an emergency
rate reduction order in the
water case last spring.
All arguments in the brieef are
based on the commissions finding
of valuation of $40 1873, 231 for the
water company property, and the
contention that return under
present conditions should not ex-
coed 6 per cent.
The company is claiming a valua-
ton of at least $28,0O0,00O and Of
fered testimony to support an 8
per cent return.
Cites Valuation Difference
Using the company's own figures
In their brief, CuthbertSor shows
that under the emergency rate re-
duction the utility now is making
more than a 6 per cent return on
the valuation set by the commission
engineers and accountants.
From this the argument follows
that all emergency rate reductions
must be retained and more granted,
if the return is to be per cent on
the commissions own findings.
Citing the $9,OOOO0O difference in
valuation claimed by the company
and that found by the commission,
the brief sets out that there can be
no compromise between these fig
ures.
This is unquestionably a case
where the value as found by the
engineering department of the COM
mission must be accepted or reject
ed in toto" the brief declared.

BATTLE facing

Desperate Struggle to Pass

BY WALKER STONE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-The
beer by Christmas" advocates Of a
few weeks ago now know they must
make a desperate fight to get beer
by Easter.
The embattled drys, routed from
the house Wednesday when that
body passed Representative James
w. Golfers 80 per cent beer bill
by vote of $50 to 165, have re-
treated to the senate to make a
second stand.
They confidently expect to give a
better accounting in the senate,
where they are favored by the rules
of unlimited debate, and the abb
Sence of a Democratic steam-roller,
such as that which functioned in
the house.
Moreover, the drys have third
line of defense. Wednesdays vote
in the house demonstrated that it
is impossible to pass the legislation
over the threatened veto by Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover. A switch of
thirty-four votes from mo" to AYE"
would be necessary for a tWo-thirdS
vote.
Move to Speed Bill
Wet leaders in the senate, how
ever, moved today to speed the bill
onward to the White House. Plans
were made to refer the measure to
the judiciary committee for a re-
port on the constitutionality of the
80 per cent alcoholic content. and
later on the finance committee for a
report on the bills revenue pos
Sibilities.
Although the vets claimed that
an informal canvass of the senate
membership revealed a majority in
favor Of the bill, the drys planned a
last ditch fight to cut the alcoholic
content down to 2.75 per cent, and
write in more rigid restrictions pro-
tecting dry states.

public his exchange of tele-
grams with President-Elect
Roosevelt on the war debt
situation and announced that
he would make no further
move toward cooperative ac-
ton on the problems raised
by recent debt payment de-
faults.
Governor Roosevelt considers
that it is undesirable for him to
assent to my suggestion for COOP
erative action on the foreign prob
lens outlined in my recent message
to congress" President Hoover stat
ed. Il will respect his wishes"
While the White House was max
ing public the contents of two teIe-
grams sent to Mr.. Roosevelt by Mr..
Hoover and the two replies from
the New York Governor, it was ex-
planned that the days developments
meant that Mr.. Hoover would make
no further moves in the war debt
situation.

The correspondence showed. that
the first telegram was dispatched to

The President sent another teIe-
gram Tuesday and received Mr..
Roosevelt'S final reply late on
Wednesday.
In his original telegram the Presi-
dent outlined his plans for send
ing a message to congress suggest

concluded:
