NATAL, Brazil, Dec. s
VI.N.S0.-Bound for Para,
Brazil, on the first leg of their
Journey home, Col. and Mrs:
Charles A. Lindbergh hoped
off from N atal today and
made swift progress over the
regular Pan-American Airways
route northwestward along the
coast of Brazil.
Despite invitations from most
Routh American capitals, whose
officials and populace were anx'
ious to honor and welcome them.
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh got
away from Natal at 500 a. M
(e:o9 a. M, E. S. To-.
Over Fortaleza City
Two hours after their depar-
ture, they circled the city of Fort
aleza, capital, Of the State OF
CSaTa, almost. oVO 4AACo AAOA
Natal, and so minutes later, Mrs.
Lindbergh reported by wideless
that they were 80 miles west Of
the city.
Para lies approximately 1000
miles northwest Of Natal. 1t is
q regular Pan-Arnerican Airways
station and has fully equipped
wireless plant as well as modern
landing facilities.
Whether Colontl Lindbergh
plans to remain overnight at
Para or continue after brief
halt could not be ascertained
here.
May Take Three Days
Pan-American officials, how
ever, believed it unlikely Colonel
Lindbergh would reach Miami be-
fore Sunday. The course he
apparently is taking is somewhat
longer than the four-day route
followed by Pan-American mail
plants, and despite the speed Of
his own craft, the trip is ex-
pected to take three days.

Mob Seizes Suspects Body,
Mutilates and Burns 1t

With their prisoner bleeding
profusely, officers started toward
Orange, where they expected to
lodge the negro in Jail for safe
keeping. The prisoner died on the
way, and the sheriff and party
headed back to Kountze.
AS they neared here, a crowd eS-
timated at 800 persons gathered,
met the sheriff, and seized the
body.
Body Tossed In Fire
A bonfire was lighted and after
the body had been dragged
through the streets, and mutt
lated, it was tossed into the
flames.
Watching the performance was
Gregory's aged mother, who stood
on the front porch of her shanty,
and saw the mob drag her son
through the streets. She said, SIM

Plans which would net the
District government approx
mately $1,635,OOO a year
through the sale of liquor IN
municipal stores were given
today, as the Board of District
Commissioners opened a hear
ing on proposed liquor control
legislation.
Only about 80 persons attended
the hearing in the board room
of the District Building. It S
being broadcast.
Opening the meeting, Commis-
sioner Melvin C. Hazen declared
that the Commissioners approach
the subject with open minds and
have no definite plan in view. He
said:
"There are those in the Dis
trict who want no liquor sold
at all. There are those who
want no restrictions. The bill
to be adopted must be between
these two extremes.
SEEK MAJORITY VIEWS
eve cannot satisfy all, but
our only hope is to get the
views Of the majority Of the
citizens.
"The draft Of a bill which
has not been submitted to you
for criticism (the Bride pIan)
does not represent the views of
its trainers or the views of the
Commissioners.
1T merely sets forth in con-
crete form suggestions which
have been made and provisions
which have been approved in
other jurisdictions and which
may be desirable here"
DR.. F.. w. Bush, executive secre-
tary OF the Federal Dispensary
Tax League, was the first to pre-
sent a plan before the hearing.
No Single Drinks Sold
His plan calls for District gov
ernment control of sale, beer to
be kept at the present 80 alcoholic
strength, wines to be kept to II
per cent, ale and porter 6 per cent
and no sale of hard liquor by the
drink.
Any person desiring to purchase
liquor under this plan would buy
pass book or permit, paying 50 a
year. Transients would be charged
81 for license to drink.
With the permits a purchaser
would be limited to three or four
quarts of hard liquor month.
This is intended to prevent boot
leggerS from obtaining large stocks
Of liquor, he explained.
Would Net 1884, 900
Explaining the financing of
such a system, DR.. Bush said:
/ "The District should take a
profit of IS cents on every bot
tie of wine and rs cents on each
bottle of whisky. This, with the
fees paid for pasSbOOks, would
realize the sum of S1,6S5,OOO q
year, l estimate.
Cost of operating the system
should be about S241,OOO year,

Drought Averted
Montgomery county's threatened
LIQUOR drought was lifted shortly
after noon today with the arrival
of 212 cases of assorted liquors
from New York and IT cases from
Baltimore.
Fear had been expressed earlier
that the badly diminished supply
left after last nights rushing busl-
ness would not hold out for today.
Orders were placed for a carload
of 4.3 per cent beer in New York,
along with the liquor orders, but
it failed to arrive with the liquor
shipment. Officials expressed hope
that it would arrive later today.
The new supply was apportloned
between the Silver Spring, Be

also because there Is no way of
telling whether or not the president
will use all or part of his powers
along this line. "The Initiation"
amendment to the farm relief act
confers upon the president broad
err and more sweeping monetary
powers than have ever before been
delegated to the executive in times
of peace.
Thus far, however, the powers
of initiation placed in the hand of
the president have not been used
in. any appreciable degree. The
advance in security and commodity
prices since initiation became a
legislative possibility is due to an
| actual upturn in business levels
and the rush to purchase commo-
dities and securities in the fear
that the inflationary powers will
become operative. The administra-
tons declaration that an initiation
airy movement will be launched
only If it Is deemed necessary Of
fers no indication of what set Of
circumstances might be regarded
as warranting this monetary pro-
gram. However, the statement
leaves little doubt that the govern
ment is reluctant to set the ma
chinery of initiation in operation
and that it is fully aware of some
of the unhappy experiences with
inflationary programs in various
periods of the worlds financial his

The case of Germany, of course,

ing of initiation, but for this very
reason it offers a pertinent illus
tration of the dangers involved in
this financial expedient. Even
though the monetary experiences
of most European nations after the
war were not nearly so severe as
those in Germany, they all point
to several indisputable character
istics of initiation. In essence, in
flation, whether 1t is brought about
by huge issues of government bonds
or more directly by paper money
not backed by the usual reserves,
Is strictly public borrowing in it's
most dangerous form.
The issuing of paper money to
pay government obligations places
a nation in a debtor position, mas
much as the money represents
government obligation to make
eventual payment in specie; and,
regardless of the indirect manner
In which debt is incurred, the
forced must eventually be paid. 1t
can be discharged either by heavy
taxation to redeem these notes
(Which generally proves impossi-
BILE where the initiation has pro-
ceeded to great lengths) or by
reputation through a reduction in
the gold content of the money unit.
One of the insidious elements in
initiation is that in its inception
there is usually a sincere intention
on the part of the government to
limit and control the process, but
experience in the past offers no
evidence that initiation is subject to
regulation or that it's effects can be
readjusted without serious disrup-
ton of tho economic life of the
nation involved. If initiation can
be brought about inadvertently by
over-extension of credit based on
the legal reserve requirements, as
was the case in this country in
1919-1920, 1t is very doubtful
whether 1t can be controlled once
the metallic reserve requirements
have been modified by legislation.

Speaking before the Lions Club
at its weekly luncheon at the
Elton today, Jerry Harrington, To-
cal newspaperman, predicted that
southern states will vote almost
unanimously for the repes! of the
18th amendment. Mr. Harrington
based his opinion on personal OBJ
servations with many officials, the
general attitude of the public and
the comments Of nationally known
newspaper and magazine writer's.
The south suffered exceptionally
hard during the past two years and
II the various economic measures
endorsed and Launched by the
Roosevelt administration succeeds
in furnishing employment to any
great number of men in that Sec
ton of the country, industry in
general is bound to experience a
quick and generous reaction.
Thousands Of homes in that par
ticular section are in need of ex-
tensive repairs, remarked Mr. Har-
rington, and 1t Is only natural that
the owners when placed in a po-
sition, financially, will make the
needed improvements and by their
purchases boom business.
Mr. Harrington returned recently
from an extensive trip through the
various states of the south and his
interesting remarks this noon were
based on his observations.
