Brewers Have But
 One Beer Worry
(continued from Page D

Brewers Association, which claims to represent 90. per cent | of the old line breweries. The Cereal Beverage Manufacturers Association prefer a 2.75 per cent limit, believing there will be a greater willingness to permit it to be marketed through regular soft drink channels.
 Opposing brewers assert that the proper flavor cannot be ob- tained short of per cent by weight They prefer 3.2 per cent. This would equal about per cent by volume. It would be about the same as pre-prohibition beer, according to drys. \ A decade of prohibition Has wiped out the vast majority or breweries. Representatives of the U. s. Brewers Association say the l pre- prohibition number was l,70u to 1900. Wayne B. Wheeler once put it at 1,247. Now there are permit and are subject to constant | inspection as they make real beer and then take out the alcohol to make legitimate near beer. How many of the original brewers would be restored would depend largely on the method iof sale permitted by congress and the states
 l Restoration of the Pabst brew. cries at Milwaukee would cost about $1,5O0,000, according to of- ficials of the company who came here to prepare for presentation ! of the brewers' case before the house ways and means committee this week. NowA they make SO,- 900 to 10000 barrels of near beer. Brewers intend to testify before the ways and means committee lthat 40 trades and indhstries would benefit by expendituresNn rehabili- tating breweries. IF. M. Gabel, vice-prAsident of Val Blatz at Milwaukee, says brewers can't tell anything about distribution until they know what they can sell and where. 1T suppose brewers will control their own saloons as before, if pos- sible," he said.
 $. E. Abrams of Schlitz, is ready to make Milwaukee famous once
 more. Apparently there will be enough beer on hand to satisfy the thirst | of New Orleans. William Kern, manager of the Jackson Brewing l Company there, stated they had 10000 barrels of real beer ready
 for distribution on g moments mo- tive.
 The effect of legalizing beer, as he saw 1t, would be to increase the number of truck drivers and plant employees immediately.
 The Union Brewing Company all so was reported set to handle trade.

GuilfOile Has
 New Petition
(Continued from Page l.)

The petition filed to-day states that Joseph c. Guilfoile for a good many years was a member of the New Haven County Bar associa- tion in active practice and in good standing. In May, 1929. the peti- ton continues, he was suspended by Superior Court Judge Dickin- son from practice. The petitioner is ready to comply with all the suggestions contained in the mem- orandum of decision of Judge Dickinson, the petition adds.
 In his finding, Judge Dickinson stated, Ut seems pertinent to add, in anticipation of an application at some future time for reinstate- ment that If then, as apparently now. he can see nothing improper and unprofessi6nal in his conduct as to the second count. itsNwould seem that he had demonstrated his unfitness for reinstatement"
 States Attorney Samuel E. Hoyt of New Haven prosecuted the case during trial of the re- spondent here in 1929. The sec ond count had to do with real estate transaction in which the re- 1C4uAAC0 sASAO " - gage on Washington and River streets. owned by Nicholas and Anna Pilla. It was charged that he never made an accounting for the mortgage except to pay the Phillas $310. in 1928, claiming that was all that was due them. The mortgage was in the amount of $2,8O0. It was the claim of the respondent that the amount of time and money spent in refinanc- Ing and remodeling the property was worth more than the prop erty was worth. Judge Dickinson in commenting upon this count stated that because the clients in the disbarment proceedings were not called to testify by the re- spondent, the court could not es- cape the conviction that they were paid and their release secured to get them out of the way.

Appeal of the
 Property Owners
(Continued from Page ll

However. with the 156 mark reached last night and with the jam to-day. 1t is estimated that the 3O0-400 limit would be surpassed by tomorrow.
 This means that between De- cember 20 and 31 the members of the board of assessors will be kept busy going over the largest num- Der of appeals they have ever seen. Any they turn down will subse- quently go to the board of relief. which will sit in January.
 The depression Is blamed for the unusually large number of appeals to the board of assessors this year. Nobody can appeal to the board of relief without first appealing to the board of assessors, under the law. Therefore. while many do not ex- pect relief from the board of as- sessors they are complying with the law, it is believed. 50 that they will have an opportunity to pre-. sent their cases to the relief board in January.

ECONOMIC STUDIES
CONTINUED BY i. s.
Bonus Opposition Welcomed
as Relieving Alarm
of Country.

Decision on the part of the Demo-
cratic leadership of Congress to hold
back consideration Of the bonus legis-
lation at this time is looked upon in
high administration circles as removing
one of the principal causes for alarm
Throughout the country.
When the agitation for legislation
calling for the immediate payment in
full Of adjusted compensation started a
week or so ago in really serious man.
ner there was shiver of alarm, which
had bad reaction economically.
However, according to administration
circles today, the removal of the bonus
menace has caused considerable relief.
The President is known to have in
mind for the present no so-called eco
nomic conferences at the White House.
Conferences of this kind are in progress
every Gay, and virtually every hour,
throughout the administration, and will
continue to the END of the depression.
Certain branches of the Government,
such as the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board
the Department of Commerce and the
Treasury Department are constantly in
conference on the economic situation
In their effort to keep in touch with
every development in every part of
the country. These groups of the Gov
ernment are receiving the cooperation
OF various private groups in trying to
meet economic problems, but there is
no evidence at this time that President
Hoover is considering calling in the
immediate future a White House con-
ference to discuss them further.
The President is known to be In
closest touch with the situation, and
that he sees no reason to dramatize
the situation by setting up a special
conference.

REFUSES To ENJO|N !.
| us. CLERKS UNION
Justice Adkins Holds 13 OBJ
jectors to Withdrawing
From A. F. OF |. Too Few.

District Supreme Court Justice Jesse
G. Adkins today refused to grant a
temporary injunction asked by David r.
Glass and IL other Federal employees
to prevent the withdrawal of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal Employees
! from aff1liation with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Also named as de-
/ PENDANTS were Luther c. Steward, presi-
dent. and Gertrude McNally, secretary
of the federation.
In his view OF the case. the court
said, 1t was unnecessary to pass on the
question raised by Attorneys William E.
Leahy and William J. Hughes, jr., for
the defendants, that the recently
| enacted "anti-injunction" law robbed
the court of jurisdiction. Additional
briefs were requested of defense coun-
sci on the question whether the afilia-
ton of the National Federation with
the labor organization gives the plain
tiffs a right, whether Of property or
otherwise. which a court Of equity has
jurisdiction to protect when that right
is lost, not by the expulsion Of plain
tiffs from the National Federation. but
by the voluntary withdrawal of the
| federation from such affiliation with the
labor organization.
Justice Adkins points out that the
suit is filed by only l3 individuals out
of a membership Of $1,000 in the fed
Grafton. This indicates, he says, that
practically all the membership was
satisfied with the course pursued by the
executive council announcing with
drawal from the labor organization, fol-
lowing the latter's opposition to the
personnel bill pending in Congress.
The withdrawal notification has gone
, out. and the plaintiffs seek by manda-
tory injunction to undo that act.
The suit, filed through Attorneys
James S. Easby-Smith and Frank Easby-
Smith, presents case of doubtful ju-
! risdiction of the court. the court de-
clares, and he asserts that Il am far
from convinced that the course adopted
| by the executive council violated the
constitution of the national federation.
An injunction at this time might cause
greater injury to the $1,000 than a
denial will cause to the 13 plaintiffs

Against Pay Cuts.

Proposed reduction of 100000 in the

Final decision on a proposed 81 ,000,- =

Reductions in the budget, Col. Wood

"capitalizing experience" by dispensing
with assistant administrators, cutting
out duplication of supervision of per-
mits and saving on administration
funds.
II believe" Woodcock said, "it would
be a fatal thing to reduce salaries. The
effect on the morale would be fearful -
The director said he did not fear a
salary cut would be an invitation to

able method of taxation

Commissioners the question of speeding
up the reassessment of properties for
street paving during the three years
prior to 1881, as provided for by Con-
greSs when 1t rewrote the Borland paw

thorized cancellation of assessments

ment OF these properties in accordance
with the modified formula in the new
law and the refunding Of the difference
in the two assessments.

peal to the American parents of Ma
rines serving In Nicaragua to demand
withdrawal of their sons before the
"ghastly and useless carnage" Of the
approaching November elections, has
been made by Gen. Augustine Sandino,
Nicaraguan insurgent leader.
The appeal is carried in an open

American people. The letter was re-
leased here today by Or. Pedro Jose
Zepeda. Gen. Sandinos foreign repre-
sentative, as final plans for the OBJ
servance of Pan-American day Thurs
day were completed.
Many of your sons will not be
aboard the American battleships leav-
ing Nicaragua In November. when the
United States Withdraws its fighting
forces" Sandino wrote
These sons of American parents will
not be going home. They will lie in
their coff1ns or, worse still, their bodies
will rot in Nicaraguan jungles.
Patriotic Nicaraguans still recognize
no government imposed by American
Marines. The winners will not be rec
ognized, the government will be over
thrown and chaos will result"
Gen. Sandino said he would disband
his troops if the Marines would with
draw now. He intimated post-elec-
ton revolution was a certainty unless
the Marines were withdrawn.
'Nicaraguans seek only the privilege
OF following out their own destiny,
