SIX STATES PLAN
LIQUOR CONTROL
Set Up Machinery Awaiting
Dry Law Repeal.

WaShington.-Six states 80 Mon
tana. Indiana, Rhode Island, Ari.
zona, Connecticut. and Delaware
already have set up machinery for
controlling liquor, In anticipation of
repeal OF the Eighteenth amend
ment. Twelve others have repealed
state prohibition laws and will re
vert TO varying degrees of open
sale. according to the laws that ex-
listed before national prohibition, if
the Twenty-tirst amendment wipes
out the Eighteenth.
The twelve are Colorado, Oregon,
New York, Washington, Illinois,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Mary
land, Louisiana, California, Wiscon-
sin and Nevada.
Eight states have arranged to sub
init their state prohibition laws to
popular vote. In these eight, and
the remaining twenty-five, varying
degrees of prohibition will remain
under state laws If the Eighteenth
amendment should be repealed.
The eight states that are submit
ting their state constitutional pro-
hibition amendments to popular
votes. most of the elections to be
held next year and most of them to
be coupled with votes on repeal
of the Eighteenth amendment, are
West Virginia, Nebraska, Ohio, Wy
oming, South Dakota, Florida, Idaho
and New Mexico.
Most of the other twenty-five
states are bound by state constitu-
tions to prohibition, and although
several are among those that have
voted for repeal of the Eighteenth
amendment, few of them have taken
any step toward arranging for an
swering the question that national
repeal might PROFOUND. Pennsyl
vania's dry law would be automat-
ically repealed If the national law
were.
In the district of Columbia, whose
laws are written by congress, there
is doubt as to the condition that
will exist If the Eighteenth amend
ment is repealed. Belief has been
expressed that the yolstead act
would remain in effect in the Ma
tional Capital until repealed by con
gress or superseded by a local en-
forcement act regulating liouor
sale.

RESORT INLET
Ocean City's Waterway AS
sured; to Benefit Sea-
food Industry
TO PROVIDE $500, 900

! Among the allotments for pub
lie works projects announced last
Thursday by Secretary Ickes in
Washington, according to the AS
sociated Press, is one of S281, 900
ito dredge a six-foot channel and
build retaining walls at Ocean
City Harbor and Sinepuxent Bay,
which is the much discussed pro
Ject that has been proposed for
several years. With Maryland's
S500,0O0 already provided, this as
sured construction of the inlet on
permanent basis at once. Rep
resentative Goldsborough of
Maryland has for several DAYS
been comforting with government
authorities, urging them of the
necessity of building the inlet
which previously had been ap-
proved by engineers, while the
waterway recently cut by the
storm was open. The inlet pro
jects has been agitated by Wor-
cester county leaders and repre-
sentatives of the extensive sea-
food industry of Ocean City ever
since the natural inlet which ex-
listed for several years, closed sew
eral years ago. This inlet was
cut by storm over twenty wears
ago, and remained opened for sew
eral years, during which time the
Sinepuxent bays oyster and fish
supply took a decided boom. AT
ter its close, seafood dependant I
upon water of ocean brackishness. t
suffered seriously. At the last
session of the Maryland Legisla-
ture S500,000 was appropriated /
for the undertaking, with the un-
derstanding that the Federal Gov
ernment would match it with 80 t
percent of that amount, but there
were consistent delays on the part
of the government in furnishing
its part of the necessary funds.
In fact, it seemed to have been
q dead issue, until the recent
storm cut another inlet much wild
er and deeper than the old one.
The maintenance of an inlet of six
feet depth or more with proper
ietties and retaining walls would
1ot only provide salt water for an
area highly suitable for oyster
culture of about $4,000 acres, but
would be of considerable aid to
ishermen and sportsmen in reach
ng the Sinepuxent bay harbor
rom the ocean.

HIGH SPEED AIM
OF AIR LINES
Low Winged MOnOplanes built
of Metal Throughout, Re
placing Former Types
TO CUT COST OF FLIGHTS

New York, \. Y.-How every ma
ior airline in the United States is
today re-equipping its lines with
high-speed planes capable of aver
age speeds up to $50 miles per hour
is revealed in Fortune Magazine.
The move quite certainly changes
the commercial geography of the
United States" the magazine says,
for it brings Albuquerque, N. NJ,
as close to New York as express
trains long ago brought Boston and
Washington" A revolution in air
travel this coming summer is fore
cast as a result of these spectacu-
lar new ships.
All Out for Speed.
There is under way nothing less
than the re-equipipng of this conti-
nent's airlines,' Fortune states.
Commitments now in the hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars will be in
the millions if these harbingers Of
speed perform SUCCESSFULLY.
Every major airline begins this
summer with a program which will
lead to the complete replacement
Of its slow Clio m. p. h.) present
day trimotor transports with com
pletely new high-speed (15O-1SO m.
p. h.) airplanes.
The new planes are low-wing
monoplanes. All are built Of metal
throughout. With one tri-mOtor
exception, all are powered by single
or twin engines.
in every case, high speed is
achieved not by tremendous horse
power but by sleek streamlining
and elimination Of drag. With one
exception the new ships can fold
their landing gear in fight Lest the
pilot forget to lower his gear before
each has some kind of
alarm to jostle his memory the mo-
ment he closes the throttle below
flying speed"
Will Cut Costs.
Fortune points out that while in |
the other forms of transportation /
speed is bought only at the price
Of higher direct and indirect costs,
'paradoxically, the economics of I
aviation is such that the purchase
IF its most essential asset, speed,
may turn out not merely a sound
Investment but the means of an
actual saving perhaps as high as
20 to % per cent
The ship and the pilot, both cover
ng half as many miles again in a
,iven time as they did before, spell
'educed costs With insurance and
about the same, prac-
ically 'all other costs will vary

Tree With Date May Be
Clue to Stolen Money

Grants Pass, Ore.-A huge man
zanita tree in the hills near here
may be the clue to buried loot OBJ
tanned in a stage coach robbery
years ago. The date, 1890, the year
Of the robbery, Is carved on its
trunk, with the initials MLP and
DIP, followed by the words "Go

PROTECTION FOR REHOBOTH
Delaware Water Front Commits
sion Discuss Sea Wall for Beach

The Delaware Water Front
Commission held a meeting at Do
yer Thursday with Engineer Flem-
ming, of the Federal Advisory
Board attending. The main sub
ject discussed was that of a sea
wall or bulkhead at Rehoboth to
prevent further erosions of the
beach, the storm of three weeks
ago having damaged the beach. It
was stated at the meeting that a
second like storm would cause
much greater damage. A delega-
tion from Rehoboth asked for as
quick action as possible. Col Earl
I. Brown, U. S. engineer, sat with
the commission and gave sugges-
tions.

Crows Steal Eggs

During the months when young
crows are being hatched and reared,
the parents are persistent hunters
for the young and eggs of wild birds
and poultry. The bureau OF biologl-
cal survey states in a report on
crow damage at federal waterfowl
sanctuary: "The chief enemy of the
ducks was the crow. This bird de-
stroyed 35 per cent of the eggs.''

OF
THE MILK CODE
Farmer and Consumer To Be
Given Preference in Fix
ing Prices
DAIRYMEN SEE VICTORY

~ sweeping victory for the
dairymen is the apparent result OF
the four-day rehearing on the pro-
tested Federal milk-marketing
agreement operative in the PhiIa-
delphia milk shed. At the close Of
the hearing, punctuated by sensa-
tional testimony and bitter denun-
citation Of the large milk distribu-
tors, Federal officials said last
week revision of the code was vir-
tually assured. Almost coinci-
dentally came word from Wash
nigton of a new milk code policy
giving the farmer and consumer
the preference in fixing prices and
providing for a new schedule Of
3O7day codes temporarily covering
milk shed agreements. Strong
indication that the Philadelphia
pact will be revised - perhaps
completely rewritten-was given
by Thomas M. Woodward, of the
legal staff of the Agricultural Ad-
Justment administration, who
conducted the hearing. If there
are defects in the agreement-an
certainly there has been much
testimony to the effect that there
are some-they will be remedied
by the Secretary Of Agriculture.
Woodkard said it is not clear at
present just what procedure will
be followed in Washington if any
changes are made in the pact.
we are without precendent," he
said. This is the first milk
marketing agreement to be re-
opened. However, I estimate that
action will be taken in one
month" A final demand by the
farmers for a complete
audit of the books of distributors
and their parent holding compan-
les, accused of "skimming off" the
profits, brought the long and
wordy hearing to a close. Since
It began last Monday, farmers of
five states shipping into the Phila-
delphia milk shed protested alleg-
ed injustices of the code which |
went into effect last August 25th.
They contended it benefited the I
only, and worked to I
The detriment of both producer |
and consumer. Outstanding
among the charges made at the T
sessions was one that farmers
we're coerced into buying secur-
ties of distributors. H. D. Allie {
bach, president of the Interstate
Milk Producers Association, took {
The stand, after twice refusing to I
testify, and identified a letter he
had written to New Jersey
1airyman telling him that if he
expected to continue receiving
bonuses without earning them
ne would have to buy the bonds
as Scott-Powell asked you to
To-" Woodward requested that
counsel for the Scott-Powell dair-
es answer the allegations at the
nearing but no representative of
he concern appeared. Woodward
;aid the company may be ordered
1y the government to make an
'wer. In Washington last week
DR.. Clyde L. King, Federal milk
whose removal has
'een demanded by many of the
armers, said "a complete audit of
he distributors books ultimately
will be made" Protests against
lis administration were made on
he grounds that King favored
he distributors and not the indi-
'idual dairymen. Secretary Wal
ace has said DIR. King probably
will remain" in his post.

BORIS GODUNOF. BY Stephen Graham
New Haven: Yale University Press
h Ar GRAHAM has, through his Peter the
lNi Great and Ivan the Terrible" gained
reputation as writer CT Russian biography He
writes in dramatic narrative style, with the
color of pageant yet with the accuracy of
conscientious investigator. This is the first
English biography of that lasting favorite of
Ivan the Terrible, not of noble birth, some
thing between a court usher and a prime
minister who usurped the throne and became
Tsar after the death of Fedor, the weakling
son of Ivan. The Chaliapin and Moussorgsky
interpretations of Pushkins poetic drama have
made the INSCRIPTIONS, soaring ambition of
Boris familiar to music c-lovers. Mr.. Graham's
psychological delvings into the personality and
motives of Boris will be of equal interest to
readers of biography.
Against the chaotic and savage background
of sixteenth century Russia, when. as George
Vernadsky says in his preface. "the social Or
ganization was somewhat shapeess' and there
were no closed castles in Russia, was there
definite boundary between the mobiles and the
common people" Boris Godunof stands out as
undoubtedly the most powerful and best orr
ented figure of his age. Like other usurpers,
from Macbeth and Richard III down to some
very modern dictators, he seized and eonsoi-
dated sovereignty by devious means, involving
the removal by fair or foul methods Of those
who blocked the way. In the supposed murder
of Dimitry youngest son of Ivan, and the re-
turn years later either of the real Dimitry or a
Evening star., 1933-11-19

pretender, is furnished a
mystery as insoluble as
that of the Man with the
Iron Mask. Whether heir
or pretender, Dimitry
caused civil war, which was
responsible for the death
of Boris (some authorities
say by apoplexy, some by
Self-poisoning), and was
himself finally crowned
Tsar, but was shortly aft
erward murdered. Much
Russian history of the pc
riod-troubles with Poland.
Sweden and the Tartars,
famine, instructions, dis
cord between church and
state-is woven into the
story of the life of Boris
Godunof, but Mr.. Graham
is much more interested in
the character than the pc
riod, in the picturesque
tale than in an analysis OF
historical conflicts and
their significance.

DAUL COHEN-PORT-
! HEM became known
to most readers through his
unusual war book, Time
Stood Still" in which he
told from his own expe-
rience what the World War
meant to the interned men
in camps, who were per-
haps physically safe from
the horrors Of war, but had
none of the inspiration Of
patriotic service and lived
such an abnormal life that
mental horrors often took
the place Of the dangers
they escaped. In that book
he showed his philosoph-
ical temperament, which
made him always seek un-
derlying causes and mean
ings. This attitude OF
mind enabled him, a Ger
man-Austrian, to write am
excellent Interpretation Of
the English in England

present one about the
French, written a few
years before his death a
year ago, and now trans
lated. In the preface Mr..
Cohen-P orth elm said:
France is today the rep
resentative of what may
justly be called the purely
European genius; to inves-
tigate the nature of that
genius Is the task of this
