CITY RIGHTS INVOLVED

The Congressional beer bill, while
received with general acclaim, has
given rise to numerous legal diff
culties in various parts of the coun-
try. The recent legal fight over
retail beer licenses in Greeley, Colo
RADIO, involved more than beer. The
right of a city to govern itself was
concerned.
The Elks club of the city sought
u license to sell beer at retail; the
city council did not comply with
the request and the club then filed
a mandamus action against the
city. The city attorney replied that
the city has a right to administer
its own affairs for the best inter
est of its citizens, regardless of
what the state law says is legal or
illegal.
The city council contended that
IL a city does not want beer sold
within its limits, it has a right to
prohibit such sale, the fact that
federal and state law makes the
sale of beer legal having nothing
to do with the question. Long be-
fore national prohibition, it was
legal to sell all kinds of intoxicat-
ing liquors in the state, but cities
exercised local option to prevent
.aA 10 OF
to sell intoxicants in the nation.
Colorado prohibited the sale within
the state.
When the case came into district
court Judge Coffin ruled that the
Congressional beer bill violates the
federal constitution and that it is
invalid.
Congress, declared the judge.

VETERANS AND DEPENDENTS
AFFECTED BY ECONOMY ACT

Red Cross chapters throughout
the Pacific area report an increas-
ing tendency on the part of war
veterans to turn to the Red Cross
for assistance since the Federal
Economy Act of March 20 depriyes
thousands of veterans of financial
and other benefits. The legislation
is scheduled to take effect July
but since it's enactment and because
of vigorous protests. there have
been intimations that President
Roosevelt will modify some of the
more drastic provisions, especially
those applying to disabled war vet
Grams.
R. E. Arne, Red Cross director Of
War Service, that division of Red
Cross service in charge of veterans
relief, in a communication to the
Pacific area chapters makes clear
the changes to be brought about
July l, unless modified in the
meantime. He points out the fol-
lowing features:
All laws granting medical or hos
pital treatment, domiciliary care,
compensation and other allowances,
pension, disability allowance. or re-
tirement pay to veterans and the
dependents of veterans of the Span
|ishAmerican War (including Boxer
Rebellion and Philippine Insurrec-
tom the World War, and peace
time service are repealed.
Exception is made for persons
who served prior to the Spanish
American War, which means that
Civil War benefits apparently re-
main undisturbed, except for a ten
percent reduction for the fiscal
year 1933-34.
In place of the laws repealed,
provision is made for pensions for:
Ia Persons disabled as a result
of disease, injury or aggrayation
of a pre-existing disease or injury.
incurred in active military or naval
service.
(b) Persons who served in active
service during the Spanish-Ameri-
can War, Boxer Rebellion, Philip
pine Instruction or World War
who are permanently disabled as a
result of injury or disease, Span
ish-American War Veterans over
60 years of age continue to be ell
igible. Cor purpose of this para
graph the World War is deemed to
have ended November II, 1879
(c) Dependents of persons who
died as a result of disease or injury,
or aggravation of pre-existing
disease or injury, incurred in active
service.
I'D Widow or child of any de-
ceased person who served in active
service during Spanish-American
War, Boxer Rebellion or Philippine

nent disabilities, tuberculosis and

IDEAS NDESTRUCTIBLE

The Hitlerites of Germany, hay-
ing evidently gone as far as they
care to for the moment against the
Jews, have turned their attention
to what they call un-German ideas.
They have burned the books of all
writer's whom they deem destruc-
tive to the German Nordic morale.
This reaction is only reversion to
the dark ages of history, when rul-
ing factions in church and state
tried to stamp out ideas with which
they failed to agree. 1t is, of course,
impossible to stamp out an idea
or a movement which has in it the
germ of greatness.
Not all the books which the Nazis
destroyed will be immortal, But
those that are destined to live will
live, and will be read by Germans,
despite anything the Nazis do to
prevent their reaching the German
people. II an idea, or thought, or
book is less than great, it will
die and be forgotten by its own
fallibility; if it is great there is
no power on earth that can stamp
it out. A slight study of history
by the German brownshirts would
be more conducive to intelligent &C
ton on their part in dealing with
cultural matters.-Ex.

American troops fresh from the

although Congress says beer is nom

Attorneys for the Elks club said
they would appeal the decision to

the beer law is at stake, that the
question is: Has the city a right
to govern itself?

Mass Pressure on
Virginia Court Wins
Release Of Negro
Case Similar to That
of Crawford Betrayal
by N.A.A.C.P.

PORTSMOUTH, Va, Dsc. % 49,
Mass pressure yesterday forced the
unconditional release of John Askew,
Negro worker framed on murder
charges here, following his fourth
trial.
Proof that Askew was not even in
the state at the time that Joseph F.
Drake, white special railroad officer
with whose murder he was charged,
was killed, was established at all four
trials. The first two resulted in hung
juries, and at the third he was found
guilty and sentenced to thirty years
imprisonment.
The mass pressure and protest
against the frame-up Of Askew, Or
ganized by the International Labor
Defense, forced a new trial after his
conviction, and finally won his I'M
conditional freedom.
The contrast between the militant
defense Of Askew put up by the IL.
D., which also raised sharply the
question of the Illegal exclusion of
Negroes from iuries in Virginia in
this case, and the betrayal Of George
Crawford, another Negro worker
framed on murder charges in this
state, by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People
has reused wide support for the LID
program of defense struggle.

Jobless Force Relief
Bills Into Legislature

ST. PAUL, MINI, Dec. 21.-BillS
embodying part Of the relief program
of the Unemployed Council were in
troduced Monday into the state legis-
lature by representatives Bennett and
Youngdahl, "left" demagogues in the

off of water and light for non-pay-
ment of bills, abolition Of forced labor

day, providing for state unemploy-
ment insurance pending similar en-
actment of legislation by the federal
government. Whether this gesture of
introducing the relief bills of the I'M
employed council was an idle one, or
whether it will be followed by a real
fight for its adoption by the Farmer
Labor demagogues, remains to be seen
and will depend on how much mass
pressure can be exerted on them by
the masses for real action.
Demand Accepted by Welfare Board
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 21.-
One of the demands in the program
of the Minneapolis Unemployed Coun-
Gil was finally adopted when the Wei
fare Board voted Tuesday morning
to establish three neighborhood relief
stations. Up to the present time I'M
employed workers have to travel long
distances downtown, and stand for
hours in line at the City Hal for
their relief orders.
The Unemployed Council. which in
tends to continue the struggle for a
further increase in relief, is pre-
pairing for an unemployment denoE-
stration on Jan. 18th, National Fight
ing Day Against Unemployment.
The Trotskyite renegades have
united with all the misleaders and
takers in the A. F. Of L. and the
Farmer-Labor Party in an effort to
split the unemployed movement.
