 Washington, Oct 19.-UP)- The decision of the department of justice to segregate the govern ment's hardened and irredeemable prisoners in Alcatraz prison in San Francisco bay is another impor- tant and far-reaching step in the governments war on crime.
 The recividist, or repeater type of criminal, will be cut off from other prisoners and his partners of crime by confinement in this island prison. He will not contaminate other inmates and cannot glorify his activities through direction of crimes while being held in con finement.
 Another advantage of Alcatra2 prison is it's remoteness. No longer will it be possible for in- mates to assemble large number of confederates outside of prison walls to the detriment of the sur rounding country.
 Troublemakers, jail breakers and irredeemable criminals will be housed there. Escape will ba practically impossible and the mo- Irale in other prisons will be inn proved by tke transfer of the worst offenders.
 Prisoners of this type from Leavenworth and Atlanta will be- gin moving to Alcatraz in the near future. Those to go will be deter mined by the department of jus tice after an exhaustive study of the prisoners themselves, their past record and their associations. | Alcatraz is an ideal place fol confinement of prisoners of this type. The majority of the inmates of our prisons are comparatively we'll behaved, but few desperate criminals among them present q menace to any. penal institution Relatives, friends and fellow mem l (Cnnfinnad nt,N Para 0l

An official statement challenges the reported results of Chicago uni- versity chemists that 3.2 beer is non-intoxicatfng as misleading to the pubfic'' and not scientifically accurate.
 Quoting from an investigation made for the W. c. T. U. by Dr , Walter R. Miles, of the Carnegie Nutrition laboratory, Boston, the statement defines the scale of toxic symptoms as follows:
 At two parts of alcohol per 10,- 900 parts of blood, a touch of diz- ziness, fvllncss and throbing at the back of the head and willingness to talk. c
 At three parts per 10000, the expansive feeling that "everything is all right; nothing to worry about: "sure, I'll loan you some money" etc.
 At four parts per 10000, tremb- ling and clumsiness of hands and limbs: much and loud talk and laughter; glib and fippant remarks and protests that anyone should suggest drunkenness"
 At fiye parts per 10000, the sub ject's inhibition or self-restraint ties. brags of his exploits and his ability to flick" anyone, but has difficulty lighting a match.
 One to four bottles of beer, 1t was explained, can produce as much as five parts of alcohol in 10000 parts of blood.

 NEED OF HELP American Liquor Interests Will Be Protected By This Govt. Block

..
 Washington. Oct lo-(UP) The administration took drastic steps today to head off flood of foreign liquor to this country with the approach of prohibition repeal.
 The government declared virt- ual embargo on importation of for- eign liquor. and Coast Guard offi- cials along the Atlantic coast took unusual precautions to head off 2 flow of illicit liquor from an in- creased rum row fleet.
 Requests for more cutters were pouring into coast guard head- quarters from points along the North Atlantic coast as unusual activity was reported in rum row. At the same time the coast guard reported a sharp increase in rum seizures.
 The coast guard activities to- gether with a virtual ban on legiti- mate foreign imports of liquor were expected to give important protects .tion to the American liquor indus try which is preparing for full time operation after repeal. With- holding of foreign liquor from the American market was expected to result in increased employment an profits for the rapidly growing liquor industry.
 Officials of the bureau of indus trial alcohol said today they had turned down under instruction of the president applications for inn portation of approximately s.000,- OO0 gallons of distilled spirits. mostly Scotch whisky. The governs ment will lose nearly $2O.00a. 00o | in revenue because of this ban but at the same time American manu- lecturers will have an increased market for their products. l Whisky has not been imported legally, into this country for many years and the only imports of dis titled spirits have been a moderate
