NEW DRUG LAWS
SEEN SNAGGED
Times Staff Photo

In defiance of a nationwide de-
mand for revised narcotic laws,
the Uniform State Law Commits
sion which is to meet in the Dis
trict next month will not accept
recommendations for up-to-date
legislation, Harry j. Anslinger,
commissioner of the Federal mar
cotic bureau, today predicted.
Investigating the necessity of
providing public treatment for
drug addicts over long period of
time, Anslinger, having deter
mined that "cures" we're now
denied in all but one State,
drafted a new State law which
would permit commitment of
victims to municipal institutions.
1t would also bring about a
stringent check of the narcotic
traffic.
Physicians, in private practice
and in the United States Public
Health Service, have recon-
mended new laws so that narcotic
victims could be prevented from
assoCiating with drug peddlers
while efforts were being made to
effect cure by committing them
to State hospitals.

N CARL EASES
NAVY JOBS

The Navy Department may
continue to consider as temporary
its per diem employees in the
field service, at various Navy
Yards, so that their places may
be filled without resort to execu-
tive orders, Comptroller General
]. R. McCarI ruled today.
The Navy Department had con-
tended that its work varied, that
when a certain job was finished
employees were laid off, and when
another job came in, practically
the same crew must be hired
again.
If the employees were consid-
cred permanent, vacancies could
not be filled. McCarl's ruling,
affecting thousands of workers
in all the Navy Yards, permits
elasticity in employment.

300 PRODUCERS
COOPERATING,
SAYS NJ GILL
Maryland Virginia Association
Reports Success in Move
To ForeStaII "War"

With more than 300 farmers
already reducing shipments of
milk into Washington 5 per
cent, it was apparent today the
Capital will escape the milk
price war current in many sec
tions of the United States.
John McGill, jr., secretary-man-
ager of the Maryland-Virginia
Milk Producers Association, said
farmers in Maryland and Vir-
ginia are cooperating in the
movement to keep prices up
through reducing the supply to
local markets.
7 OverprOductiOn Cited
Overproduction of milk in re-
cent weeks has made it necessary
to cut the supply so present
prices levels may be maintained,
Mr.. McGill explained. Members
of the association supply Wash
ington with "a per cent of its
supply.
Mr.. McGill after addressing 155
farmers in Frederick yesterday
said sentiment of the meeting
was clearly in accord with the
movement.
A similar meeting was held in
Manassas yesterday by Frank S.
Walker. president of the associa-
ton, who will speak at Fairfax
Court House today. Mr.. McGill
will conduct a meeting at Warren.
ton.
Price To Stay At 13 Cents
Farmers have taken a Scent re-
duction per gallon since April,
1881, for milk while distributors
have made a cut of 8 cents. The
retail price per quart first was
cut from Is cents to IA cents.
Last May cut to 13 cents per
quart was made and the price
of a pint reduced to 7 cents.
These are the prices to be main
tained, Mr.. McGill said.

for mental observation.
He is charged at the Third
precinct with assault with a

Shortly before 10:30 o'clock
Atkinson, wearing his complete
uniform, demanded of Russell B.
Insley, 27, of the 100 block of
Edmonston Road, Bladensburg,
driver of a Washington Railway
and Electric Company bus, that
he take him to Georgetown.
When Insley refused, the police

GRANT To D. K.
CIRCUS LOT

Establishment of a permanent
circus lot at Camp Meigs was
predicted today by Lieut.. Col. U.
S. Grant Sd, director of Public
Buildings and Parks.
Designation of the Patterson
tract at Sixth Street and Florida
Avenue Northeast, as Washing
tons official circus grounds ap-
peared assured following an offer
by Melvin D. Hildreth, on behalf
of the Circus Fans Association, to
fill and grade the present site.
In return for this service,
Colonel Grant signified his will
ingness to charge only enough
rent to cover the cost of cleaning
the property after a circus de-
parture.
Recommendation that the area
be definitely established as Wash,

RUM CAR CHASE
NETS Z MEN

Following a four-mile chase dur
ing which policemen fired several
shots at their quarry, two col

at Georgia Avenue and the Dis

They gave their names as C. D.
Young, of Winfield. Md, and
Lawrence A. Lee, 36, of the 1900

Va. Farmer Makes
5 Cts. on Calf He
Sells for $3.65

At any rate, farming keeps
one out in the open air.
That, perhaps, is it's chief ad-
vantage. judging from a letter
from a Washington Times
reader about the experience of
- friend in Stafford county, Va.
The Stafford county man
wanted to sell a calf and the
country storekeeper agreed to
take it to Washington to mar
ket. The calf sold for S3.6S.
The merchant charged SO for
taking it to town, and so cents
commission. The owner of the
calf got 5 cents for his time
and trouble.
When he figured in cost of
feed and other expenses the
transaction was considerably in
the red.

Of POLICE
"Rum Baron" TraiIed, Actions
Checked in Sunday Raid;
Seven Men in Custody

With seven men in custody
and another, reputed to be
leader of the liquor-dealing
element in Charles county, Md,
under investigation, Washing
ton and Federal officials today
continued their probe into the
hijacking of a truckload of
liquor and the kidnapping of
four dry agents in southern
Maryland Sunday.
Those under arrest include:
Edwin Allen Mumper, 81, of the
500 block Somerset Pl. N. W.,
a former policeman; Martin Bo-
land, 40, of the TOO block Fifth
st. N. E., son of a former police
man; Henry George Carter, 81, of
the 600 block of Fifth st. N. W.;
Joseph Russo and Anthony Duerr,
the latter two arrested while
driving a truckload of liquor from
the Plum Point (MdD estate
where the liquor is alleged to
have been landed from a rum,
running yacht in the Chesapeake; !;
and George and Dorsey Stenett,
caretakers on the estate.
Ex-POliceman Identified
Boland, nicknamed Jack" has
refused to talk. Mumper has de-
MED having had anything to do
with the hijacking. He insisted
he had gone straight" since the
Ellicott City liquor affair last
year, and that he had been oper-
ating a chicken farm near Belts
vile.
Local police await papers from
Baltimore before pressing charges.
Mumper, formerly attached to
the Fourth precinct here, was
dismissed after he was charged
with possession of liquor when
his car overturned near Ellicott
City, Md, in July, 1881.

CRA|G|E AWAITS
STATUS RULE

School officials today are pom
dering the confounding problem
of just what title to give to a
man ousted from the service by
the Economy Act, who has given
his service back to the schools.
Before the Economy Act retired
Col. Wallace M. Craigie from ac-
tive service as head Of the Wash
ington High School cadet corps,
he was known as professor of
military science and tactics" in
accordance with the regulations
Of the War Department.
A few days ago, in view of the
fact that he is no longer official
ly head of the corps, DR.. Stephen
E. Kramer, first assistant super
intendent of schools, dubbed him
director of military training"
However, a letter today from
the War Department., which by
the Economy Act may not desig-
nate a retired Army officer to
this active post, asks for the sub
mission of the name of the pro
fessor of military science and tao
tics" for it's approval.
An examination will be held
today to choose the cadet colonel
for the coming school year.
Four candidates will be ex-
amined by Colonel Craigie and
the five chairmen of military
committees in the various schools.
The candidates are William S.
Gochenour, Central; j. B. Ed
munds, Mckinley; Morris Cru
coff, Eastern, and Marshall
Guthrie. Western.

WHY DID WILSON

By GILBERT SELDES

me that Wilson knew so much of what went in the
mind of the enlisted man who. in spite of million as

sode is mentioned in Gen. Peyton c.

book which proves that it is good
thing for a general to be a fighter.
The whole book is belligerent, carry
ing the battle into the terrain of the
enemy, especially to the very tent
flaps of General Pershing, to the de-
tractors of Secretary Baker, to the
admirers of General Wood, and to

Congress Is
Going to Let

Even so, Congress is 60
ing to act and act before it
adjourns; and Mr.. Hoover
can veto a relief measure if
he desires.
Any member of Congress
who would vote to sustain
that veto should be spotted
for defeat at the polls in
November-and regardless
of his party affiliations. He
should be spotted not only
by the unemployed and his
family, but by the merchant,
who is being threatened with
bankruptcy because of the
appalling loss of purchasing
power.
This week William Green,
head of organized labor in
America, told Congress that
for the first time in world
history unemployment actu-
ally has increased in April
and May. One hundred
thousand were laid off in
April-and that means about
100000 men, women and
children affected-their pur-
chasing power cut off.
