LIQUOR CONTROL
 MEASURES BEING DISCUSSED NOW
tWill G0 Into Effect as Soon as Repeal of Amend- ment Comes

Washington. Oct s.--(UP)--. Control measures for salcohoiic tliquor to be put in effect with re- peal of prohibition are being stud led by Attorney General Cum innings.
 Cummings has refused to discuss the nature of the curbs being con- ] sidered other than that they were being worked out in cooperation with the treasury department on which will fall the tax collection problems.
 Guy T. Helvering, commission CT of internal revenue, to-day pointed out the taxes which would be imposed on distilled spirits and wines when prohibition is repealed. These will be in effect until con- gress takes action on revision of the alcoholic liquor taxes.
 Under present law,< the whiskey tax will be $1.10 gallon and for imported products Q tariff of $5 Q gallon in addition to the domestic tax will be imposed. Wines will be taxed from four cents to $1.10 a gallon, depending upon alcoholic content, and on imports an addi- tional s1.25 Q gallon tariff will be imposed.
 It was understood that alcoholic beverage control proposals being worked out by the justice depart ment were somewhat similar to those advocated to-day by John D. Rockefeller, Jr, who said that the habit of temperance in individuals should be developed in any such control program.

METHODISTS GIVE
 THEIR DRY STAND
To Carry on Temperance Campaign Through
 Education

Joliet, Ill, Oct 6-(UP)-Depart- ing from their traditionally last ditch prohibition stand, Methodists of the Chicago area today set out on 0 temperance campaign de- signed to bring the greatest results in view of the nations shifting at- titude on the wet and dry issue.
 The metropolitan section of the church voted to withdraw its sup- port from the present leading pro. hibition organizations, including the Anti-Saloon league, and to de- vote its entire effort toward tenn" perance by education.
 The action was taken in unani- nous adoption of a report submit ted to the conference, meeting here, from the temperance committee.
 "W should throw our influence toward certain basic and practical controls which will give some measure of protection to the public and not give prestige to the liquor traffic,".the report read.
 Rev A. M. Pennewell, of the Ravenswood Methodist church, said that "this is no time for childishly defending organizations which have been successful in the past but which today are useless"

RAILROAD FARES
 REDUCTION BY 40
 PER CENT COMING
Western Lines Consider Drastic Action at Ses.
 sion To-day

Chicago, Oct 6-(UP)-A reduc- tion to nearly forty per cent in railroad passenger fares on western lines was considered today by those attending 0 meeting of the Vest orn Association of Railway Execu- tives.
 The reduction, which has been recommended by subcommittee probably will be ordered placed in effect December 1, 1t was learned from official sources. It would ap- ply to all roads west of Chicago.
 Approximately 40 railroads, re- presenting 98 per cent of western trackage. were represented at the executive session in the Union League club here. Eastern and Southern Railroads, which have not decided upon Q reduction, sent representatives.
 The plan advinced by the sub committee, and which was consid- cred virtually certain of adoption, provides for a three-cents Q mile one way first class fare, two cents for round trip travel and Q fiat two cents a mile rate for coach travel.
 Elimination of the surcharge for pullman travel, which at present Is n half of the regular pullman fare, is recommended. All tickets except the flat two cents one way coach fare would be good in pullmans without payment of the surcharge.

Few Nations Remain Where
Writers Can Report News
in Entirety.

Blythe Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 2.-Cham-
paonins the cause of a free press in a
rapidly changing world has become
pretty lonely business except in Uncle
Sans domain, Great Britain and .
few other lands.
Elsewhere, with somewhat awkward
vigilance, cenSors' pencils wnacK anu
ruin; prison sentences-and even execu-
tion-arise to COW the woulo-De aief'
journalist.
Germany polished offswhat remained
Of the principle of freedom OF the press
A. understood in this country, IN law
approved October S.
II set up the death penalty for cir,
eulation of "treasonable' articles ana
squeezed newspapers completely under
the thumb of the authorities.
Licensed Profession.
This law made journalism Licensed ed
patriotism were listed as necessary
qualifications.
Months earlier, the Austrian govern
ment-though avowedly anti-Nan IN
nearly every other possible stand-had
taken a couple of good long strides III
the same direction.
First the Austrians issued decree
that all newspapers must pVbnsn 1ree
OF charge and without comment all gov
ernment political announcements up 70
600 words daily.
That was in June, and a month later
another decree appeared which placed
the Official ban on big, black headllnes.
Headlines Limited.
Now banner lines must not exceed
Z. inches in length-and newspaper
men who desire to spread the happen
ings of the day under more arrestlng
headlines may indulge the whim only
IL they enjoy the enviable distinction
of being able to laugh off $3.50 fine:
Although these and other similar
bigger and more binding regulations
generally have been effective, there have
been evidences Of revolt.
"A sample was that in Madrid last
August. There Gonzalo Latorre, a re-
porter who had been Jailed 28 days,
got out on bail only to write an article
for the newspaper La Nacion, which led
EovHnment agents to conf1scate an
entire edition.
Mussolini at Helm.
In Italy, Premier Mussolini removed
any possible remaining doubts about
where control Of the press in that
country lay in an act Of August 1. That
was the day he named his son-in-law,
Count GaleazZo Ciano, to head the gov
eminent press bureau. This bureau is
the instrument through which the press
Is kept in line in Italy.
The cenSor-no unfamiliar figure in
most other parts of the newspaper
reading world-leads a fairly busy life
in South America.
In Mexico, where the government
formerly bent watchful glare on in
coming and outgoing news, there has
been no censorship now for three years.
Soviet Newspapers Grow.
Soviet Russia has system all its own:
There are, of course, no privately y-owued
newspapers there. All are published
either by trades unions tfostered by the
govenment), by governmental institu-
Hons or by government commtssarlats.
But such regulation evidently has
been no barrier to the growth of news
papers. Government authorities claim
Russia now has three times as many
newspapers as under the Cars and 10
times as many newspaper readers.
