GARNER'S AID
BILL GIVEN
PRIORITY
House to Vote Tomorrow on
Democratic Measure for
JobIeSS Relief

With Republicans charging
gag" tactics, the House
Rules Committee today re-
ported out one of the most
drastic special rules ever pro-
posed to insure passage of the
So, 2,3OO,OOO,O0O jobless relief
program of Speaker John n.
Garner tomorrow.
Acting by direction of the
Democratic caucus. the Rules Com
mittee limited debate to three
hours and prohibited the offering
of amendments to the program
from the floor.
The action marked the first
time this session that the Demo
cratic organization has invoked
it's full power to control legidla-
ton by strictly party vote. The
special rule plan was adopted, IT
was explained by Representative
Bankhead CD of Alabama, BE-
cause the Garner program had
UCCOLAlC d Pal W AhCSoAAO'
Assured of Passage
Under this program, which is
virtually assured of passage, $780,
100000 would be given the Presi-
dent for emergency relief; ST.
900, 900, 900 added to the Recor
Struction Finance Corporation,
and a 100000, 900 public works
program launched to create jopS.
The vote in the Rules Com
mittee was on a strictly party
basis, eight Democrats supporting
it and four Republicans opposing.
The whole procedure required
only 10 minutes. Bankhead said:
81 will frankly state that this
is a drastic rule, which will be
called StrOng-arm tactics by
some and gag rule by others.
We accept the responsibility.
There have been gag rules in
the past and there will be in
the future, as long as we have
party rule in Congress"
Representative Michener (RD
OF Mlcnlgan SAID:
"Why not just let the Ways
and Means Committee pass the
bill-it is hot and we could
shorten the time. 1t sets aside
every standing rule of the
House except one"
Representative O'Conner DO
of New York replied:
"We're ingenious.
One Chance for G. o. P.
The Republicans will be given
only one chance to substitute
President Hoover's relief program,
which is embodied in two bills in

35 Police Detailed to Hill
Until Bonus Forces
Leave the City

To forestall possible trouble,
35 policemen today were de-
tailed to duty at the Capitol
to remain until after the
bonus expeditionary force has
left town.
Inspector L. I. H. Edwards,
assistant superintendent of the
Metropolitan Police, said the

Parade Tomorrow
Meanwhile, plans for the "big
parade" by the Bonus EXpedi-

full speed today.
The parade was scheduled to
take place Wednesday, but was
advanced to tomorrow night when
leaders were advised that Com
munist organizations had obtained
permission for a demonstration
Wednesday.
AS the plans we're rushed, local
headquarters of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars was advised that
the national organization had re-
quested every member to dis
courage the bonus marchers be-
cause OF Communistic agitation.

The police census this morning
showed the following distribution
of veterans under their care:

amount of cigarettes, tobacco, coffee and
bread came to light. In the cruclflX,
which was hollow, were concealed sew
eral thousand cigarettes.
Despite such dramatic episodes, the
serious aspect of smuggling should not
be forgotten. On visit to one OF the
great warehouses in which the customs
authorities keep their confiscated goods
1 saw thousands of boxes of cigarettes,
packages of tobacco, loaves of bread and
chocolate bars-all these had been taken
from the petty smugglers alone. Yet
these represented only small per cent
of the total amount of smuggled goods.
In the newspapers of the border cities
one may read daily the cry OF distress
of business and industry crippled by the
unfair competition of illegal imports.
Towering above CleveS stands the
Schwanenburg, the Swans Castle. Here
the celebrated adventure of Lohengrin
and Elsa had it's beginning-the adven-
ture which later, mixed with Wagnerian
romanticism, spread to the opera stages
of the world.
From the hill on which the castle is
built one sees far away over the Neither
lands plain. It is view into the infinite,
for the eye divines the sea beyond this
horizon. A pair of houses, a clump OF
trees, here and there, lonely windmill
which, sinking into the gray green broad
ness, stretches it's black arms toward the
heavens otherwise only fields, and in
the southeast the immense surface OF
tree tops of the< Reich forest which
spreads along the Dutch border. It was
here, high above the plain, that
waited.
Toward o'clock in the afternoon came
the "man of confdence"-a stout, ordi-
nary looking fellow with leather jacket
and cap. He smelled of beer and cheap
cigars.
$50 you want to attack tonight with
a smugglers' band?" he began without
preface. nodded. How much will you
pay?"
I drew out a 10-mark note. He ex-
PEELED his breath through his nose so
forcibly that the reddish hairs Of his
moustache quivered. Twenty marks for
me, 20 for the leader of the band" he
said. I gave him the notes.
Tonight at IL o'clock" he grunted.
"At the edge of town, on the road to
Niemwegen." Then, touching his fore
finger to his cap, without another word,
he left.
It was a cold, foggy November night.
When I came, he was already there. In
silence we walked along the road to-
gether, toward Niemwegen.
Since when have you been working,
so to speak, for the customs?" asked.
He growled something incompre-
hensible. Then, sulkily: when we are
there will speak with Pit myself. You
can tell the boys what you like. For
example, that you are miner out of
VoS4-most of them who come here are
miners out of work."
Just before we reached the border, the
Reich forest ended. We crossed stubble
field at dog trot.

Now the yield of such farms is ap-
praised beforehand, and a certificate
issued regulating the importation of the
harvest from fields across the border.
Since this practice began the bumper
crops from Dutch fields have fallen off.
The temptations to smuggle are nu-
merous. In Holland gasoline costs IL
pfennigs a liter; in Germany, 20 pfen-
nigs. Thus the poSSessor of an automo-
bile in Aachen slips over the border,
three kilometers away and fills his tank.
On the other side of the boundary stand
filling stations, one after the other. Many
proprietors of filling stations, in order
not to offend the eyes Of the German
customs officers, have built little houses
called garages, before which the German
cars in need of repairs" walt their turn
in long line. 1t recently became known
that one of these gasoline merchants
paid taxes on a daily turnover of 10000
literS. To prevent gasoline smuggling
the German customs officers measure
the content of the gasoline tank when
a car crosses the border, and the guam
tity is noted on a receipt which must
be presented when the car returns.
On so-called neutral road near
Aachen one can observe the border
comedy to advantage. Here the boun-
Diary line comedies with the gutter: the
road is German and the sidewalk is
Belgian. On the Belgian side of the
road is a chain of small, tidy shops. A
single one of these, as an investigation
of the Belgian authorities showed. had
a yearly turnover Of 100000 cigarettes.
It is difficult for man out of work,
who receives dole of 10 marks a week,
to withstand the temptation offered by
the border. And so day by day an end
less troop of men, women and children
with empty bags, sacks and wagons
crosses the border and returns home in
the evening richly laden with treasure
that is, when they succeed in escaping
the inquisitive glance of the customs
officer.
CONSIDERED alone, the case of poor
petty smuggler appears harmless,
and one must pity him when he comes
before the court. The customs have
taken away his booty, his bicycle has
been seized and he must either pay four
times the amount of the duty or go to
jail
Wholesale smuggling, however, is
different matter. The wholesale snug
ler's strategies reveal richness in ideas
which at times could put to shame his
military compatriots.
A customs officer south Of Aachen
noticed the suddenly increasing piety
of his populace. Day after day pro-
cession bearing crucifiX, and in
solemn prayer, went on pilgrimage
across the border to Belgian pilgrims
shrine. In the evening they would re-
turn, singing and praying. The faces
were always the same. The startled
customs officer became suspicious, and
one day the customs interfered. The
pilgrim chorus was waylaid at the bor-
der, its clothing inspected-and huge
