TAX PLAN
URGED ANEW
BY BINGHAM
Senator Suggests 6-Cent Levy
On d Per Cent Beverage
Would Balance Budget

An appeal to Congress to
levy small tax on legalized
beer as a substitute measure
for the discarded sales tax in
balancing the budget was
voiced today by Senator Bing-
ham (R.) Of Connecticut,
leader of the Senate wet bloc.
Bingham predicted a tax of 6
cents a pint on legalizede 4 per
cent beer, sold only for hotel and
table use, would bring in $1,000,-
100000 a year revenue.
Backed BY Report
He pointe dout this revenue
would be more than sufficient to
balance the budget. since the
sales tax is eliminated, and give
Congress some leeway to reduce
the proposed wartime income and
exciSeS.
Bingham'S estimate of the an
ticipated revenue for a beer tax
was supported by the recent ma
jority report Of the Senate manu-
factures subcommittee, which held
hearings on the issue of legalized
beer.
Difficulty Called Amazing
The subcommittee declared a
tax of 4 cents bottle would
bring in from $600,000,00O to
$1,000, 100000 in revenue, depend
ing on whether beer consumption
matched the minimum or maxi
mum figures of pre-prohibition
days.

: Lubitsch on Talk

Ernst Lubitsch, called to speak the other day,
said Gas director of talking pictures, have learned
that you should talk unless you cannot possibly
avoid it. There is too much talk Talk should only be
used when you cannot express what you have to in
any other way
Mr. Lubitsch made things difficult for the following
speaker but forgave him because he enuncated Of
the fundamental and most neglected. principles of good
talking pictures. Enchanted with their toy, the
makers of taies went little mad and kept people chat
erng for hours after the audiences began to camor for
little action. They forgot that when they added the
virtues of the phonograph they did not throw away the
supremey important virtues of the that seeing
is persuasive and entertaining than hearing
they forgot hat movement the behoder, whereas
speech generally leaves him unmoved.
The takies added wit to the pictures, and subtracted
lot of humor which has just begun to return. They
added intellectual content, not of very high ORDER
but high enough to spoil lot of good pictures. They
spilled much talk that action got begged For time
they made imagination stranger in the pictures.

BOWIE REVEALS
!. CASE NOT YET
I COMPLETED
Simone, Who Turned States
Witness, Still in Jail at
! Upper Marlboro

Although James Zanlenski and
John Wallace are in Jail at La
Plata, Md, awaiting sentence fol-
lowing their conviction on second
degree murder charges growing
out of the death of Grover Amick
IN a gun battle at the Old
Colonial Tea House in November,
1881, the State of Maryland has
not closed its investigation of the
case.
This was revealed today by
states Attorney Alan Bowie, of
Frlnce Georges County.
Names of Others Barred
For the first time, the names
OF the persons participating in the
raid which led to the shooting
were revealed during the trial of
Wallace and Zalensk by Thomas
Slmone. one of the principals in
the case, who was seriously
wounded.
Simone said he and three other
men-Joe Hoffman, Joe Reno and
man known as Indian Nuts
mad entered the resort to hold it
up and that Wallace and Zalenski
remained outside to decommission
automobiles of guests.
Bowie stated that efforts to ap-
prehend Hoffman, Reno and the
other man have been unavailing
so FAR, but that the hunt is still
on and that when they are ar
rested they will be returned to the
county for trial, if indicted.
SimOne to Go Free
So far no move has been made
to nolle PROSE- the indictment
which charges Simone with the
murder of Amick. Bowie admitted
that the charge will be dropped
because Simone turned States wit
ness during the trial of Wallace
and$ZalenSki but said there will
be no haste.
Simone was indicted Jointly
with Peter Abbott. The charge
against Abbott was nolle pressed
several months ago after the man
had obtained change of venue
to Montgomery county.
S1mone is now in Jail at Upper
Marlboro awaiting dismissal of
the charge. Although it was re-
ported at La Plata that he would
be put on the spot for "squealing"

him.

United Press Staff Correspondent

ALBANY, N. Y, July o.
Franklin D. Roosevelt's crippled
legs, which he used to help steer
a forty-foot yawl on a recent six
day sailing cruise, are gaining
strength rapidly as he enters his
campaign for the presidency.
Although the limbs which bear
his 200 pound body have been
shrunken by infantile paralysis, and
once were useless, Roosevelt feels
sure they eventually will be restored
to practical normally.
The New York Governor can make
only a few strides without the aid
of a cane or helper.
He can make little Roadway with
a. cane over short distances.
He summons assistance when
climbing stairs. He leans on a sup
porter when he takes long walks.
The paralysis was believed to have
been contracted in Washington in
1921, although he was not actually
stricken until later, while on yacht
trip off the coast of Maine.
Roosevelt was cruising along the
coast when he toppled out of a
small boat while fishing, and caught
cold.
A few days later, after climbing
from a swimming pool, he trotted
some distance to camp, and, with
out drying himself, sat in a draft.
