HEIGHTS MAYOR
AUTHORIZED To
SETTLE BILLS
ImpaSse Brought About by
BaIky CounciImen Is
Believed Broken

Town councilmen of Capitol
Heights have agreed informally to
give the mayor and treasurer
blanket power to pay all current
obligations until the present polit-
ical impasse is ended, Mayor
Thomas j. Luckett said today.
The move allows the town to
pay interest on bonds and to keep
its electric service by paying sew
eral installmentS.
Since the resignation of a coun-
Gilman, two others have refused
to attend meetings and thus block
town business by depriving the
council Of a quorum.
Belief that the town will bene-
fit by the impasse was expressed
by Mayor Luckett, who added that
he hoped the condition would con-
tinue until the next town election.
With no meetings, the councilmen
cannot freely spend town money
and split town forces into factions
over minute political questions, as
they have done, the mayor said.
Funds totaling more than 81, 800
coming from the Maryland State
Roads Commission as the towns
share of the gasoline tax will be
handled by the commissions en-
gineers instead of being taken
over by the town, the mayor said,
obviating the necessity of forcing
the recalcitrant councilmen to aid
in awarding contracts for the
towns road work.

Lobbyists at Annapolis
Fiuht $1.1O Liquor Tax

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. although
no legislative representatives OF
brewers, distillers or prospective
saloon keepers are registered with
the secretary of state, two power
full lobby groups have set up shop
at the State House here in the
hope of altering certain provisions
of the administration Statewide
liquor control plan.
Although none has been &C
cused of directly asking member
TO vote one way or another on any
provision, the lobbyists have been
noted conversing with members Of
the Senate during session receSses
and at luncheon.
The principal point of attack Of
the lobbyists is the proposed State
excise tax of $1.1O a gallon on
hard liquor. 1t is reported that if
this provision is left in the bill by
the Senate, the lobbyists are pre-
pared to virtually lombard House
members to eliminate it.

The CWA will be great boon
in placing unemployed at work,

Not only will more workers be

BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Possibilities appeared today that
the unemployment register Of the
Civil Service Commission might
be reduced, employment for white

in certain Government offices re-
lieved through the use of civil
works funds to employ additional
help for agencies now functioning

partment of some 400 persons,
it was felt, might be followed
elsewhere, notably in the General
Accounting Office. the Veterans
Administration and the Civil Ser
vice Commission, all of which
have been subjected to a consid-
cradle amount of additional work
Of late.
400 Given Jobs
The Treasury Department, faced
with the necessity for sending out
large number. of civil works
checks, decided to use civil works
fund to employ the necessary
help required to send them out.
AS a result, some 400 persons
were employed through the Civil
Service Commission. their names
being taken off the unemployment
register of the commission.
Similar procedure has been sug-
geSted to the General Account
ing Office and the Civil Service
Commission. The former agency
must audit the accounts of the
CWA, and the task, in view of
the already large program con-
fronting McCarl's force, is a Sc
rious one.
If CWA funds could be used
to hire unemployed accountants
and other qualified persons for
this work, two ends would be
served-first, the General Ac-
counting Office would find it
much easier to carry on" and
second, jobs would be found for
a number of white collar"
workers who are difficult to place
under the CWA program.
Audit Fund Granted
The General Accounting Office
has already been awarded funds
from the Public Works Admins
tration for auditing the accounts
of the emergency bureaus, and
will through the use of these
funds be enabled to reemploy,
probably, more persons than were
originally discharged or fur

Repeated questions about "diS-

the following statement:
"There are two mythical rows
going on around here. One is
with Miss Perkins Secretary Of
Labor and the other with
George Peek Agricultural Ad-
juStment Administrator. Occa-
SiOnally another mythical row
develops between me and Mr..
Ickes Secretary of Interior and

Both, or all three, are pure

been the slightest hint of

DELAY ON VOTE
IN SENATE IS
CERTAIN
Senate May Speed Measure,
But House Likely to Face
Debate on Several Items

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. with the
senate not scheduled to vote on
the Statewide liquor control bill
before tomorrow, it appeared a
matter of speculation today as to
whether Maryland will have legal
liquor on Tuesday-the day ma
ttonal prohibition is repealed.
Although the senate finance
committee approved and seat the
measure back to the Senate yes
terday, Chairman LanSdale G.
Sasscer CD, Prince Georges, OF
that committee, said tomorrow
will be the earliest possible time
that the bill will be called up for
final senate action.
Fight on Horizon
Meanwhile, opponents to GER
tain sections of the measure as
approved by the committee, were
assembling their forces to fight
those sections on the senate floor
It was pointed out that even
q the senate eXpeoites consider
Htion of the measure and sends
d to the house at the end OF
eomorroW's session, the house will
have to make all possible haste
in order to get it through that
body by Tuesday. Further, it was
noted, if there are major items
Of disagreement between the house
and senate, more time would be
required to iron these out.
Open Saloon Policy
As reported by the senate yes,
Serday, the bill contained only
one fundamental change from
that which the governor recon-
mended.
That alteration was the elimi-
nation of the tavern" section
from the bill, Senator Ridgely
p. Melvin Cd, Anne Arundel,
leading the fight against the
section on the grounds that 1t
would commit Maryland to the
policy of the open saloon.
However, it was agreed that
Baltimore and Baltimore county
may submit amendments permit
ting taverns in those areas.
Hope for Vote
Battle lines were being drawn
today for the fight which is to
be staged in the senate over the
provision calling for State ex-
else tax of $1.10 a gallon on
hard liquor, which was left in
the measure by the committee by
taae close margin of a 6-to-5 vote.
Senators j. Allan Coad CD, St.
Aarys, and David G. Mcintosh
CD, Baltimore, who have an
nounced their intention of lead
ing the opposition to the $1.10
excise levy, said today they felt
confident they can muster suffi-
cient support to withhold the
three-fifths senate vote necessary
to pass the bill as an emergency
measure unless this provision is
eliminated.
Split Up the Tax
Speedy passage of the bill by
The senate is expected to depend
largely on how long the contro
Fersy on this provision lasts.
In conversations among the
senate members here today it was
indicated an attempt may be
made to reach a compromise on
this CLAUSE so as to levy 10-cent
o gallon tax on the manufacture
Of liquor in the State and a So
cent a gallon excise tax. This,
it was suggested, would split the
payment of the tax between the
manufacturer and the consumer.

corner for him. She would walk along home
with him. poor darling!
Anything she could do to make his suffering
less, his life more endurable was certainly little
enough, for in the end he would discover how
he had been betrayed.
Suddenly her heart crowded in her breast
and q faint perspiration moistened her bare
forehead. Things were happening in quick
succession.
Marjorie and Mr. Maxwell, still arm in arm
stepped out of the leather store, right before
her very y'eyes and stood for moment on the
corner of Fourteenth street. Then Marjorie
beckoned to q cab and Mr. Maxwell CALAMITY
helped her into its capacious rear seat
Stuart could not see Marjorie, who was sitting
back deep in the taxi, but she could see her
graceful hand through the lowered window and
knew by the gesture of the fnger-tips that she
had thrown Mr.. Maxwell q kiss, right down
town in the busiest section, for every one to see.
Flaunting her reprehensible affair in the faces
Of decent self-respecting people! Mr.. Maxwell
stood on the curb waving forlornly to the dis
appearing cab as though the very light OF his
life was being driven away.
Stuart clasped her hand over her heart as
though to stop its tumultuous beating and knew
for the first time the panic Of making an i'm
portant decision without f1rst taking the matter
up with her mother. Mr.. Maxwell was strolling
on up the street, now, with his long, impressive
strides. and was about to turn the corner out
Of sight.
Stuart followed him. few blocks out OF
the business district he climbed into . parked
roadster OF q very new expensive make. ana
headed the car toward Connecticut avenue and
upper residential Washington. For q fainting
second, Stuart thought that she had lost him.
and with him, her noble cause. But at that
crucial moment q taxi cruised by and she hailed
it with . Wee little:
Follow that car, driver. It's . matter OF
life and death!"
The driver obeyed. She followed Mr. Max
well across the city to an apartment hotel.
When he went in she trailed him. She hesi-
tated outside his door, gathering courage; then,
boldly, she knocked.
Donald Maxwell flung the door open ana
Stuart. who did not wait to be invited in,
whisked by him like gentle breeze and stood
waiting for him beneath the crystal chandeliers
of his tremendous living room. Donald Maxwell
followed her in, a wry smile on his dark. hand

CTUART did not waste a second. "Ive come
- to ask you to give up my mother"
she said, her voice trembling. Have all of the
love affairs you wish Mr.. Maxwell, but please,
please spare my home my father"

the wide uolet-blue eyes sought the clock on
the lockwood mantel
"Heavens!" she sighed. the pupils magnifed.
Give minutes of 10! Where has the time
gone!"
The great eyes dropped then to Stuart's wan,
troubled face and the pencil-point brows darted
together quickly.
You're not finding the Thanksgiving hoh-
days too trying, at home with the old folks,
are you, dear?"
Stuart's eyes screwed together in a tangle OF
lashes She ignored her mothers solicitude
Boarding school, holidays, everything trivial was
banished from her mind.
II suppose you'll manage to get back before
father comes home" she said, crooked, wicked
little smile on her lips.
"Of course, lamb" said Marjorie, folding the
paper and rising to her feet
II thought sol" said Stuart firmly. And
when Marjorie stared at her, half-startled be-
of the restrained emotion in Stuart's
freezing tone, Stuart parted her lips in q little
painting execration Of her mother and stalked
superiorly from the room.
Stuart went straight to her room on the top
floor and threw herself across the bed her
toused bronze curls buried in the curve of her
arm A flood Of tears streaked down to the
counterpane, leaving dark rose patches on the
pale pink of the satin.
Then Marjories hurried steps on the stair
sounded like the StaccatO OF distant muSketry
and the front door closed with q reverberating
bang Stuart jumped from the bed, IS If she
had been set of by a spring. and ran TO the
window, just in time to see Marjorie actually
running down the front walk and all the way
up Elm street before she turned out Of sight
around the corner. She was that anxious to
get with her Mr.. Maxwell.
In the late afternoon when Stuart could
stand no longer the silence Of the big house. the
house that was q mockery to all that was good
and noble and decent in marriage, she soaked
her tear-stained face in cold water and held
little cubes Of ice to her burning eyes,
She dressed very slowly and carefully, any
thing to distract the tumult Of her worried
mind. selecting her favorite dress of orchid
wool-crepe with fuzzy angora collar and the
little pillbox Of . lavender hat that perched on
her copper satin curls like an impudent pAnsy.
THE movie that she saw was one that she
adored, and she stayed through . second
time. The hero was a lean, romantic, cadaver-
chap who loved a not-too-pretty, highly
emotional heroine.
This heroine took the last IS minutes of the
film in which to die a most lovely death and
Stuart came out onto the street with four tear
drenched handkerchiefs in her pockets and the
resolution that she would see that show again
before time to 60 back to boarding school.
Thinking Of her father she glanced quickly
at the jeweled watch on her wrist and seeing
that his Office hours were about over she de-
cided to walk on up @ street as far as the
