 WITHDRAWING
Sudden Movement East of Lwan River Leads to
 Many Conjectures

TIENTSIN, April 27-The sudden withdrawal of the Japanese Army from the area east of the Lwan River provoked widespread bewil- derment here yesterday and par alyzed activities of persons who were intriguing to set up separ- ate North China State.
 The Chinese continued to ad- vance along the Peiping- -Mukden Railway, east of the Lwan River, the vanguard reaching Changli.
 Chinese circles attribute the Jap anese withdrawal to tension result ing in the controversy between the Japanese and the Soviets over the Chinese Eastern Railway in Man churia.
 More cynical observers suspect an informal armistice has been arranged hut Japanese circles vig- orously deny this.

Attempts of Firms to Put On
Pressure for Business
FlopS.

BIZ Soripps-HowGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Since
becoming secretary of war, George
H. Dern says he has noticed a
marked tendency" on the part of
companies wanting to do business
with the war department to employ
attorneys presumed to have special
influence.
Il know Of no better way for a
company to waste money than to
hire lawyers or other persons of al
legged influence in the belief they
can pave the way to a business deal
with the war department, says the
secretary.
The war department purchases
the supplies it needs from the lowest
bidder and sells surplus goods to the
highest bidder There is no way
under the law to larry the procedure.
Over the years the department has
built up a system of checks and
balances to guard against improper
transactions. In the quartermaster
corps are trained and honest men
and quite naturally I back them up
in their decisions and do not heed
the counsel of persons who are try
ing to earn fees or commissions"
There is the instance of one COM
pany which, under another admin
iStration, bought a large quantity
Of surplus wooden goods from the
department. The anticipated mar
ket for the goods failed to material
ize and the company decided it
wanted to trade the wooden goods

for some surplus cotton goods. An
attorney prominent in Democratic
national politics was sent to talk to
Secretary Dern. A Democratic
senator interposed in the company's
behalf. But the secretary merely
checked the matter with the quarter
master officers and decided the pro-
posal was improper. There was no
trade.
Another company had bought a
large amount of surplus clothing
from the department. Along came
the job of Quitting the civilian con-
servation corps, and the department
found it needed some of that same
kind OF clothing. An influential
Democrat was sent to the secretary.
He presented an offer to sell the
clothing back to the department for
about five times what the company
had paid for the same clothing. The
quartermaster's office recommended
offering the company exactly what
it paid for the clothing, no more,
no less, and the secretary did Just
that.

Local Firms Have Ordered
Many More Cards
and Buttons.

The Red Cross membership cam
paign at Kingan & Co. gained new
impetus this afternoon when John
R. Kinghan took over the direction
of the canvass among the employees
of the company. Mr.. Kinghan i'm
mediately requested that additional
supplies of membership cards and
buttons be sent to his firm, and
began the organization of an in
tensive campaign.
Other large Indianapolis firms
have increased their orders for
membership supplies over the
weekend. The William H. Block
Company has reordered until the
total supplies delivered them have
reached one thousand. Rauh &
Sons at the Union Stock Yards,
where the campaign is under the
direction of S. E. Rauh, also have
asked for more cards and buttons.
The Kroger Grocery and Baking
Company also has speeded up its
canvass among employees. The
Standard Grocery Company has in
creased its needs up to five hun
dred.
The drive in the hospitals and
among members of the medical
profession, under the leadership Of

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Nov. 81
President Roosevelt today reviewed
the administration gigantic pub

speeding it up to provide jobs for
100000 men this winter.
The chief executive had before
him comprehensive reports Of In
terror Secretary Ickes, who also is
public works administrator and re-
sponsibIe for the carrying out of
this important phase Of the national
recovery movement.
While it was not revealed what
specific matters came up in the first
of a series Of conferences between
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Ickes, OBJ
servers here felt that the former
was particularly anxious for the
completion of a program of CO.
ordination between public works and
the newly created civil works au-

Harry Hopkins, federal relief adj

WASHINGTON, Nov 27-The
man who has charge Of Uncle Sans
drive to take the liquor business out
Of the hands of organized criminals
today called upon the American
people to do their part to make pro-
hibition repeal a success.
prohibition, said John L. Hur-
ley, head of the justice departments
dry law enforcement unit, will go
down in history as the experiment
that was defeated by its friends.
The friends Of repeal must not make
the same mistake
"BOotlegging in states that permit
the legal sale of liquor said Mr.
Hurley, will be wiped out in sixty
days if the people who drink respond
to the crusade Of the Scripps- How
ard newspapers and patronize only
legitimate dealers.
out of every one hundred boot
leggers, officers of the law capture
two and the other ninety-eight es-
cape The public can kill off the
whole 100 by merely refusing to buy
their goods.
"BoOtleggers. particularly the
large criminal syndicates, operate
under a heavy overhead and most of
them will be bankrupt in sixty days
if their revenue is stopped.
Urges Laws Be Easy
we, as a people, have asked that
commerce in beer, wine and hard
liquor be legitimatized That is be-
ing done. To make our new venture
succeed, we must spurn the liquor
by the illicit dealers who refuse to
share in the burden of supporting
the government and who refuse to
submit their liquor for government
tai chemical analysis"
Mr.. Hurley also has a message for
the state legislatures, city councils
and liquor control commissions over
the country-that they make it easy
for the people to observe the new
liquor laws. that they impose no
unreasonable restrictions and no
unreasonable taxes on the sale of
liquor which might encourage the
people to patronize bootleggers.
After Dec. 5" said Mr.. Hurley,
enforcement of liquor laws will be
a local problem Our small force
of federal agents can do little ex-
cept cooperate with local author
tiles by doing what we can to keep
their problem from becoming worse
by reason of a flow of illicit liquor
from outside.
Moderate Taxes Needed
IF the states and cities will in
troduce liberal regulations that con-
form to the habits of the people
there will be but little trouble. Let
us have moderate taxes and sane
rules governing sale, so that the
rich and poor alike can buy from
the legitimate dealer without the
inconvenience and expense that
might prompt him to go back to the
bOOtlegger"
The federal prohibition enforce
ment unit, since Mr.. Hurley as
sumed command a few months ago,
has offered a refreshing contrast
to the old prohibition bureau. Gone
are the days of wire tapping, illegal
seizures and haraSSing of hip flask
toters. Today the enforcement unit.
which formerly spent S13,OOO.OOO
annually, operates on a budget of
S4,0OO.000. The number of agents
has been reduced from 2,10O to 800.
and attention is conferred on the
large scale bootleg syndicates.
