These, the dying words Of Col.
Francesca Macia, 74-year-old
president of the autonomous

There was no one to replace him.

DENIES 3O-HOUR
BILL SHELvED
Joe Robinson's Views Not
to Stop Measure, Says
House Chairman.
By United Press

81 Cnited Press
WASHINGTON, May 2-Chair-
man William P. Connery of the
house labor committee said TODAY
that the statement of Senate Ma
jority Leader Joseph t. Robinson
that the thirty hour work week bill,
had been shelved by the admins
tration would have no effect on
house consideration of the measure.
Connery termed Robinsons state
ment "discourteous."
Roblnson's statement was made
after a conference with President
Roosevelt Monday.
Today, Mr.. Roosevelt was repre-
sented as feeling that the proposed
industry control measure would be
side-tra should any fight over
its adoption appear likely.
The thirty-hour bill without pro-
posed minimum wage provisions
already has been passed by the SEN
ate.
Robinson indicated that the short
work week proposal would not be
pressed because of the desire to ad-
journ congress by June 1.
I've heard nothing from the
White House direct. This is the first
time in my ten years in the house
that senator has attempted to an
nounce anything from for the
house." said Connery.

OPENS FIGHT ON
INTANGIBLE TAX
Ed Bush Seeks to Block
Operation of New State
Measure.

Alleging the intangibles tax law
is IAN attempt to destroy a uni
form system of taxation" Edgar
D. Bush, former Lieutenant Gov
ernor. today flied suit in circuit
court seeking to block operation of
the law.
The law, which levies taxes on
stocks, bonds and other intangibleS,
was passed by the legislature as an
attempt to draw thousands of hid
den dollars in taxation.
Bush seeks a declaratory judg-
ment holding the law invalid; a
mandate ordering officials to levy
taxes as in former years and an in
junction to halt officials from en-
forcing the law.
Defendants in the suit are Cover
nor Paul " McNutt; Floyd E. Will
hanson, state auditor; William
Storen, state treasurer; Attorney
General Philip Lutz Jr., and mem
bers of the state tax board, as well
as Indiana township, city and coun-
ty officials.
The suit also alleged the law was
discriminatory and the legislature
had no right to classify various units
for taxation.

The merger means more than

however. It means separation

A VETERAN of the Spanish

wars, Major Mccormick asks moth

1t is not the loss of the $500
annual salary that hurts-it is the
separation from the flags that

Despite Republican cries of gag
rule the Democrats formulated a

revive that issue as a part of the

Roosevelt to

WASHINGTON, May 2-Specu-

that Mr.. Roosevelt was pressing for

SPECIAL BEER
SESSION FACES
LEGISLATURE
Call for State Assembly to
Revise Brew Law Is
Advocated.
IMPORTER is TARGET
High Cost of Beverage Is
AsSaiIed; MCNutt Denies
He'll Act.

Special session Of the legislature
may be called to erase Objectionable
sections from Indiana's beer law,
it was reported today.
Proposal that the special session
be called, with its most important
phase the elimination of the i'm
porter section of the law has been
made to Governor Paul V. McNutt.
McNutt, in his press conference
today, denied there would be Spe-
cial session of the legislature to
amend the beer statute. He admit
ted the special session proposal had
been advanced, but said there was
no intention of carrying out the
suggestion.
Friends of McNutt, it is reported,
have brought complaints from all
parts of the state on handling the
new brew Basis for the objections
is the high cost of imported beer to
the consumer, with the conclusion
that elimination Of the importers
cut of Is to 35 cents a case would
aid in bringing the price down to
the working mans level.
Price Still High
The cry of "beer for the working
man" was in the foreground during
the session when the beer bill was
passed. This, however, has failed
to materialize, with the lowest pres
ent price being two bottles for Is
cents.
Many places cling to the 20-cent
figure originally invoked with the
advent of the legalized product.
Others sell for Is cents.
However, except in the places
where the law IS disregarded, a
lunch, costing a nickel, dime Or
more, faces the drinker.
If the twelve probers assigned to
the state actually do their duty,
then the price level must include
the lunch.
Several days ago a new brand of
Indiana beer made it's appearance
This sold for Is cents and a second
Indiana brand joined in the Is
cent class.
Politics in Forefront
The importer angle of the law
is branded as purely political"
Since the first wave Of beer de-
mand fell to normal, the importers
work has been comparatively light,
although they assert they have no
financial wedge they can use to re-
duce the retail price. Some i'm
porters, it is known, are complain
ing because their "cut" has fallen
since the public cooled off on the
beer.
McNutt's friends are not stress
ing these points in their arguments
for elimination of importers. They
are stressing the fact that McNutt,
once praised for the beer advent,
now is bearing the blame for high
prices.
Would Benefit Governor
They also point out that if the
importer snag were removed by the
legislature, McNutt would capitalize
on the return swing of the pendu-
lum of favor and praise. They feel
that this would restore his glory
throughout the state.
With hot weather at hand, popu-
larity Of beer, no doubt, will in
crease. But with only a small num-
Der of additional Indiana breweries
to enter the field-the earliest in
thirty days-imported beer still will
be most in demand.
Three outstanding brands have
not appeared in Indiana. Various
reasons for the absence of these
have been advanced, but it generally
is believed that the state set-up is
restraining this trade.
