PEACE SPEAKER
H|TSPAC|F|STS

Hurting defiance at the seventh
Conference on the Cause and
Cure of War at the Hotel Wash.
ington today, Philip M. Brown,
professor of international rela-
tions at Princeton University, de-
cried disarmament and arbitra-
ton as preventatives of war.
Prof. Brown said:
"The maintenance of arma-
mentS may prove to be the
surest way to prevent war and
insure right. Weakness is an
invitation to attack. The nation
which wishes to be heard in the
defense of right must do more
than shake its finger"
Elimination of the two-thirds
majority of the Senate, required
for the approval of treaties, and
the submission of international
contracts to the House were pro.
posed by DR.. Z. F.. Fleming, pro-
fessor of political science at Van.
derbilt University.

.ELMAN, IN HUFF,
. CANCELS SOLO

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 GN.S0 .
Mischa Elman, violinist, cele-
brated his 41st birthday today
with gaiety, apparently un-
disturbed because a difference
with the management of The
MISUNDERSTANDING Orchestra
caused him to repudiate an agree
ment made by cable to appear
as soloist next Sunday. Elman
said he wanted to play a concerto
by Brahms or some other COM
poser which he considered "sig-
nificant."
Bruno Walter, conductor of the
orchestra, informed him the num-
ber was scheduled to be played
by 15-year-old Yehudi Menuhin,
and asked him to play a short
concerto by Mozart.
When he refused to let Elman
play either a Beethoven or
Tchaikovsky concerto, Elman
said, he told Walter to get an
other SoloiSt.

Brew Is Essential to Diet of
Expectant Mother, Says
Dr.. Martin Dewey

The vets today completed
their "big parade" of wit
nesses before the Metcalf Sen,
ate Committee.
Their testimony was con-
cluded with a plea for the re.
turn of beer by Matthew Woll
president of labor's national
committee for modification OF
the Volstead Act.
Woll predicted restoration o1
beer would bring real temperance
end the reign of gangsters anc
corruption of public officials, anc
restore prosperity to the farmers
He said:
Return of beer would make
America sane drinking nation
instead of an insane drinking
nation. Prohibition has changed
US from a nation of moderate
drinkeS to a nation of hard
drinkers.
with the exception of ST.
Gillian enforcement m t h o d S
practiced by a small group of
Federal prohibition agents, we
have neither observance nor en-
fOrcement. Thirty one States
are not spending one penny for
prohibition enforcement.
For every saloon we had we
now have 100 speakeasieS. We
have a reign of gangsters and a
general disregard for law"
Beer for Mothers
Beer is an essential part of the
diet of eXpectant mothers, DR.
Martin Dewey, D. D. S., president
of the American Dental Associa
ton, told the committee. He said:
"It has long been known that
in certain types of maInutritiOn
associated with pregnacy, the
health of the mother can be
greatly improved by adding a
small quantity of beer or light
wines to the diet"
Deploring the drinking of hard
liquors among college students DR.
Dewey added:
"The college boy who does
not have whisky or gin in his
room today is considered to be
of poor social standing"
Barbour Pledges Aid
A pledge to support the Bing
ham bill for legalization of beer
was made by Senator Barbour
(RO of New Jersey, who said:
Restoration of real beer
would stimulate business, re-
lease capital and provide en-
ployment. LegalizatiOn of beer
is the logical first step toward
eventually relieving the whole
intoIerable situation created by
prohibition"

RESCUERS PUSH
FIGHT To SAVE
SURVIVORS
Fresh Breaks in River LeVeeS
Puts Larger Territory
at Waters Mercy

GREENWOOD, Miss, Jan.
20 (IN.S. ).-Fresh breaks in
river levees today drove ad-
ditional thousands from fleir
flood-beseiged homes in north
western Mississippi. Some
$4,000 inhabitants now have
been forced to abandon their
homes.
While the deIuge spread over
increasingly wider areas, crews OF
convicts and volunteer workers
toiled to reinforce the weakening
dixie systems of the Ta!lahatchee,
Yazoo and Coldwater Rivers.
1900 Are MarOOned
A frantic effort to reach 1900
refugees, marooned by flood waters
in the town of Gruger and
beSieged by hunger, thirst and
threatened pestilence, went for
ward today.
Meantime, grave apprehension
was created by the gradual rising
of the parent river, the MiSsis-
sippi, which at some points was
already Tapped over its banks.
The Red Cross, the Coast
Guard and the Flood Commission
were immersed in the work of
rescue, moving stranded inhabi-
tants from the inundated low
lands to higher reaches and lend
ing succor to the hungry and
homeless.
The town of Belzoni, whose
residents number $500, was the
latest to join the list of COM
munities assailed by the flood.
The rampant waters of the
Yazoo pierced the Honey Island
levee and a giant wall of water
catapulted through gap IS feet
wide.
Drinking Water Scarce
A 20-foot rupture in the Talla-
hatchee dixie near Lambert
spouted water upon the streets Of
Chancey and Brazil and threat
ened to inundate the newly-con-
structed prisc-l farm in Qui.nan
county.
The specter of famine and
disease added to the widespread
suffering. The flooded towns Of
Webb, Glendora, Sumner and
phillip were without good drink
ing water and unsanitary condi-
tionS prevailed.
The Honey island levee break
inundated an additional 100000
acres of rich delta country, in
creasing the dimensions of the
deluge to a length of 125 miles
and a breadth of 35.

WITH MILK

More than 600 bottles of milk
were distributed to needy children
of Northeast Washington by the

past three weeks.
This amount represents a total
Of more than 25 per cent of the
number of bottles of milk con.
Sumed by children in the three
schools.
The report, made by Mrs. Al
fred Grosskurth, chairman of the
milk committee of the association,
shows that 635 bottles were given
gratuitouSly.
The association has also been
instrumental in distributing cloth

DATA DEMANDED
ON RAIL COSTS

CHICAGO, Jan. 20 GNSD'
Railroad presidents went to bat"
today on two major subjects
brought up in their conference
with labor-wage reduction and un-
employment relief.
The committee of nine, repre-
senting more than 200 roads, was
to present an array of hard facts
on the condition of the carriers.
This data was requested by the
81 rail unions to determine
whether the 10 per cent volun-
tary cut asked by the presidents
is a cease of necessity
Instead of dealing with tech
nicalities and the amount of earn
ings warranted by valuation, D.
B. Robertson, chairman of the
Railway Labor Executives AS
ISOLATION, asked the presidents to
answer this question:
what are your bills pay
able?"
On the carriers reply depends
to considerable extent the answer
of labor to the wage cut pro-
posal. The 10 per cent reduction
would apply for one year only.

AUTO INDUSTRY
FIGHTS TAX

The most imposing delegation
of automobile builders to invade
the Capital at one time will go
before thH House Ways and
Means Committee Saturday op-
posing the .Treasury's plan for a
tax on automobiles.
Twelve of the outstanding
leaders of the industry, including
Alfred P. Sloan, of General Mo-
tors, and Walter P. Chrysler, will
be in the delegation. Edsel Ford,
representing the Ford Motor Com
pany, is expected.
With the New York Auto Show
indicating bright prospects for the
industry this year, the builders
are unalterably opposed to the
Treasury's plan of a tax of S per
cent on new passenger cars 8 per
cent on trucks, and 21a. per cent
on accessories.

Commission will result in enforced

Mr.. Bloom said today:
"Here is the commission,
