SENATE ACTION
ON RUM DUE IN
FREE STATE
Thanksgiving Day Session at
Annapolis Expected to Ap-
prove Control Bill

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 30.-Mary-
lands liquor control bill was ex-
pected to get Senate approval
today.
Although the House took a re-
cess over the Thanksgiving holi-
day, President Of the Senate
Walter 7IiCchell held the mem
bers of the upper chamber in
session to speed the liquor meas
ure on it's way toward the sta
tute books.
Action on the bill by the Sen
ate today would send it to the
House where it could be made
the first order of business to-
morrow.
Fights Tavern" Idea
Members of the Senate Finance
Committee, in charge of the meas
ure, predicted that when the bill
is brought up in the Senate to-
day it will contain provision
calling for an excise tax of $1.10
a gallon on hard liquors, as
recommended by Governor
Ritchie.
Meanwhile, however, Senator
Ridgely P. Melvin CD, of Anne
Arundel, was said to be gathering
support for his fight to eliminate
from the measure the tavern"
provision, which he claims would
virtually permit the return of the
saloon.
He claims that inclusion of this
provision, which was in the bill
recommended by the governor,
would repudiate the Democratic
party platform. He has suggested
that under local option any coun-
ties or towns so desiring could
legalize such practices.
For One-Term Governor
During yesterdays session, Sen
ator j. Allan Coad CD, Of ST..
Marys, drew attention with the
introduction of bill proposing an
amendment to the State constiSu-
ton designed to make it impossible

GObbhr Comes
Out Ether;
Flies Away

BALTIMORE, Nov. 30.-A
"nudist" turkey that refused to
succumb to ether probably has
given someone an inexpensive
Thanksgiving dinner today, while
two young women in a small
apartment here are thinking how
silly it is sometimes to try to be
humane.
The young women had received
the turkey from relatives early
this week, and kept it in their
kitchen until late yesterday.
Lacking the courage" to kill
the gobbler with an ak, the wom-
en-co-eds at medical school here
decided "it would be so much
cleaner" to snuff the life from the
gobbler with ether.
They administered the ether.
The bird swooned, kicked and
dropped over, apparently dead.
The women plucked the feathers
from the dead" bird and left it
on the kitchen table to be
dressed" today.
Shortly after going to bed, the
woman heard a commotion in the
kitchen, and, upon inspection,
found the nude" bird had revived
and was jumping about until he
finally flew out of a window and
disappeared.

FEDERAL FORCE
FINDS CAUSE
FOR THANKS
Lot Improved, Leaders Assert
in Reviewing Achievements
of Last Few Months
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Federal employees. casting up
accounts for Thanksgiving Day,
felt today that they had ample
reason for optimistic observance
Of the occasion, not only in
achievements during the last few
months, but in prospects for the
future, which are reasonably
bright for abolition of the IS per
cent pay cut, wholly or in part.
E. Claude Babcock, president Of
the American Federation Of Gov
eminent Employees, placed the
likelihood of eliminating the pay
cut first among the reasons why
Government workers should feel
thankful. His organization has
already placed on record a large
number of members of Congress
who are pledged to work for
abolition of the IS per cent cut.
Miss Gertrude M. Mentally, Sec
retary-treasurer of the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
was grateful for the splendid
weather heralding in Thanksgiv-
ing Day, and considered it an
omen for the future. She added:
"There are good times ahead
If everybody puts q shoulder
to the wheel.
"Most significant among the
achievements of the year SO
far as Federal employees are con-
cerned, I think, has been the
fact that the public mind has
been directed away from mis-
representations about Federal
service, and that is vital in the
CAMPAIGN to improve the lot Of
Government workers.
Gas for the pay cut, I think
prospects of doing away with
it are considerably brighter than
they we're little while ago."
Employment of a considerable
number of former Federal en-
ployes from the Civil Service
Commissions unemployment lists,
as clerical workers on disburse-
ment of CWA checks and in other
capacities connected with CWA,
has helped the situation consid-
erably so far as those lists are
concerned.
Less encouraging is the fact that
attacks on the merit system con-
tinue, and that Congress will
probably soon become involved in
a bitter battle for patronage.

Rep. Rankin Refuses Com

Soldiers bonus payment legis-

months before Congress convened
in their sponsorship of the legiS-
lation.
No Early Activity
This year, however, such pre-
session advocacy has not ap-
peared.
Representative John R ankin
CD of Mississippi, chairman Of
the House Veterans Committee,
who has been in previous ses'
sions one of the strongest sup
porters of the bonus payment
legislation, today declined to COM

fight. He said:
