NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
pilot of a transport-type plane circling
high above Roosevelt Field. on Long
Island. yesterday pulled a lever twice
and elected three men and a woman
through doors In the sides of the
fuselage.
Sitting calmly in the chairs In which
they had been riding, the quartet

though one passenger, Waldo Fraser of
Whittier, Calf, strained his leg slightly
when he landed on the top of a grand
stand.
The demonstration was the first pub

tillers' profits. The liquor would be
turned over to the Government, which
would act virtually as a wholesaler,
adding to the price it had paid the
distiller whatever figure was desired IN
the way of tax revenues.
It was not contemplated that the
Federal Government would have any
connection with retail sales under the
corporations charter, although 1t might
exert control through retailers codes
to be signed under the Farm Admin
istration.
Legality Questioned.
Those pushing the plan have been
endeavoring to prove its legality and to
demonstrate that it would be a more
effective method of controlling the sup
ply and distribution and a simpler
method of collecting revenue from the
liquor industry than the adoption of
distillers' code which, until this plan
was advanced. was being given primary
consideration.
Inside the administration. opposition
to the corporation plan has been led
by those who contended the Govern
ment had no right directly to enter the
liquor business and that even if it had
the administration of a Federal corpo-
ration would be p0nderous and difficult
The opposing points Of view will be
put before the President, who let it be
known a few days ago that he hoped to
have liquor program ready early IN

SUGAR PACT SEEN |
AROUS|NG ISLANDS,
955,920 Short Tons Annually
in Tentative Agreement Re-
garded Too Drastic.
Nv the eAssnriated Press

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, P. I. September 9.-Se-
rious difficulties in the islands were
predicted by Rafael Alunan. president
of the Philippine Sugar Association. as
a result of the sugar stabilization agree
ment reached at Washington this Sum-
mer, drastically limiting insular i'm
ports.
The tentative agreement. designed to
support prices in the American domes-
tic market. assigned the Philippines a
quota of 955, ,920 short tons annually for
the next three years. as compared with
the insular output of 1895, 900 tons for
1928. This represented a reduction
of 80 per cent, much the largest re-
duction given any producing area.
Planters Independence.
"In the Philippines the planters are
mostly independent of the centrals, or
mills" Mr. Alunan said. Thousands
grow only a few acres. They are un-
familiar with the developments at
washington and when the centrals re-
fuse to accept all their output they will
feel sure they are being imposed upon
in favor of rich and more influential
growers.
The limitation will mean ruin to
many. as they borrow to finance their
crops he added. I'VE are sure to have
trouble"
Mr.. Alunan said he believed the chief
reason for the severe Philippine re-
Striction was fear in the United States
of being flooded by the steadily mount
ing Philippine output. coupled with
further production increases by domes-
tic. Cuban, Hawaiian and Other in
tereStS.
Offset Bill Proposed.
To offset this Alunan sponsored a
bill in the Legislature. which he pre-
dicted would be quickly enacted, limit
ing the output Of the Philippines TO the
1928 figure. Only the insular gov
ernment could enforce such a measure,
he said.
