Montgomery Citizens
Want County Kept Dry

Five hundred Mont om er y
county dryS at a mass meeting
held in Rockville yesterday
adopted a resolution asking that
Montgomery county be exempted
from the Statewide beer bill now
pending in the state legislature
at Annapolis.
The resolution also opposes the
method of convening a ConSti-
tutional convention proposed by
Gov. Albert C. Ritchie and asked
that it be called in the regular
manner.
The Rev. Francis D. Nichol, of
the American Temperance Society
of Seventh Day Adventists, said
that the vets are themselves ex-
hibiting the hypocracy that they
have charged against the drys
in the "ludicrous" attempts to
conceal the "gruesome lines Of
the old-time saloon under a high
sounding collection of words"

ment that mistreatment of Jews
has ended in Germany.
Representative DiCkstein CD of
New York, chairman, today called
q meeting of the immigration
Committee to meet tomorrow to
consider his resolution, which
would permit entry of large num-
bers of Jews.
Specifically, his resolution would
get aside the executive order Presi-
dent Hoover promulgated in 1880
prohibiting immigrants from en-
tering the country if there is any
danger of their becoming public

Dickstein has another reSolu'
ton in prospect-to permit dis

court house heavily guarded by
Alabama militiamen.
Samuel S. Leibowitz, Of New
York, chief defense counsel,
planned to demand protection for
his negro witnesses, who, he said,
had been intimidated by residents
of this Tennessee River commu-
nifty.
He had called these witnesses
to testify in support of his mo-
tion to quash the indictment on
the ground that negroes were ex-
cluded from the grand jury that
investigated the case.
Bates Girl Still Missing
Thomas E. Knight, jr., attorney
general of Alabama, heads the

he was ready to proceed with the
trial despite the disappearance
of Ruby Bates, one of the two

a freight train two years ago.
She vanished from her home
in Huntsville two weeks ago. The
belief persists here, however, that
she will appear when needed.

LIVING INDEX

Federal employees, after a study
of the Department of Labor COST
of-living index, believe it is not
applicable to conditions in
Washington, and it is expected
they will ask that a new survey
be made to apply directly to con-
ditionS here.
It is also indicated that they
may ask special surveys to de-
termine living costs in other key
cities where there are large num-
bers Of Federal employees.
The specific complaint here is
that the index figure does not fit
washington at all because the
percentage of expenditures al
loted to rent is much below the
average here.
The index, as drawn up by the
Department of Labor statistics,
assigns 1874 per cent of total
expenditures to rent. Clerks say
the figure for Washington is
nearer Is per cent.

FARM AID BILL
CALLED UNFAIR
ANDUNSOUND
Worlds Biggest Sheep Raiser
Wants Problem Left to
Supply and Demand

The Administrators farm re-
lief bill was assailed today by
Harry w. Farr, president of the
Colorado Nebraska Feeders Asso-
citation, as "upeconomic, unsound
and unfair"
Farr was introduced to the
Senate Agriculture Committee by
Senator Kendrick CD Of Wyom,
ing, as "the largest sheep grower
in the world" with huge ranches
in Greely county, Colorado. Said
Farr:
81 believe the law of supply
and demand should be allowed
to operate. 1t is the best law
in existence"
UnwOrkabIe, Says He
Farr scored the farm relief bill
as an unavoidable device, likely
to injure the cattle and sheep
industries. He continued:
"The demand in the West is
for economy in public expendi-
lures. Our State and local
governments are doing all they
can to reduce taxes.
"ThiS bill would require q
vast army of Federal employees
who would tell the livestock
growers how many lambs and
calves they should raise"
The consumers now are paying
all the traffic will bear" for meat
products, the witness asserted.
Farr said the bill would reduce
prices paid for cattle if the deal
ers have to pay the tax proposed.
Mrs. DOnnelIy Heard
Mrs. Nell Q. Eonnelly, business
woman of Kansas City, said the
bill would increase the cost Of liv'
ing. She said:
"It will work a great hardship
on the wage earnerS of the city.
They are spending all they make
now on food and clothing. So
all this bill would do would give
the people one-half or twO-thirds
as much food or clothing as
they get now"
Il don't think this bill will
give the farmers any more
money. If the worker is putting
so cents aside for milk now and
you raise the price of milk the
workers will simply buy so
cents worth of milk, even though
he had to reduce his buying
from four to two quarts a day.
But you wouldn't give the
farmer more money"

the National Farmers Union, de.
manded the Government refi-
nance farm mortgages at a "rea-
sonable rate" He said the legisla-
lures of II States had memorial

a bill.
Simpson recommended deflation
of the gold dollar as a farm re.
lief measure. He also recon.

He denied tariffs had anything to

Senate action on the revised
Administrator bill to employ

Measure Revised
The Senate Labor Committee
reported it favorably by a unani.
nous vote, after eliminating
specific provisions to which Will
liam Green, president of the
American Federation Of Labor,
strongly objected.
These provisions included a 81
day wage and a plan to use
the Army as a recruiting agency
for q Civilian conservation
corps" to do forestry work.
The President is empowered
under the revised bill to use any
unexpended Treasury balances in
carrying forward forestry work.
This work, limited to lands owned
by the Federal Government or
the States, will include fire and
insect control, the replanting Of
denuded areas, construction of
fire lanes, flood control and the
prevention of soil erosion.
Slight Limitation
The committee wrote only one
limitation into the Presidents
grant of power to use unexpended
Treasury funds. 1t provided that
no funds should be taken from
authorized building projects where
construction is likely to be started
within the next 80 days.
In approving the new draft Of
the bill, Green expressed conf
dence that the President would
administer its provisions sympa-
thetically to the interests Of labor.
The House Labor Committee
favorably reported a bill identi-
cal with that of the Senate.
Chairman Connery made a last
minute effort to have the COM
pensation increased to $50 a
month for single workers and
$50 a month for workers with
dependents, but this was voted
down, 13 to Z.

100000 to Participate
IN Protest Rally

NEW YORK. March 81 G.N.S0.
Notwithstanding the assurances
given by German government
leaders, and by Secretary of State
Hull at washington. that the
Nazi excesses against the Jews
had ceased in Germany, Jewish
leaders here went ahead with
plans for protest mass meetings
throughout the country.
100000 to Participate
It was estimated more than
100000 persons would partici-
pate in these meetings, to be
held in nearly 800 cities and
towns in every section of the
United States.
All requests that these meet
ings be cancelled fell on deaf
ears. The leaders of the move
ment, sponsored by the American
Jewish Congress, announced, how
ever, that if the German govern
ment wishes to give positive
assurances that all antisemitic
activities in Germany have
ceased, that racial discrimination
against Jews in Germany has
been abandoned, that Jewish life
and property will be protected
there, the sponsors of the mass
meeting at Madison Square
Garden tonight will be only too
happy to tell the glad tidingS
to the meeting"
10000 at N. Y. Rally
This meeting, for which the
doors of Madison Square Garden
will be thrown open at $50 p.
m, became the focal point for
the general protest movement
throughout the country.
Sponsors of the meeting were
assured that the garden will be
packed to its capacity of 10000,
and they estimated another
100000 persons would be congre-
gated in overflow meetings in
various parts of the city. Speeches
from the Madison Square Garden
meeting will be carried to these
overflow gatherings by radio
1oud-speaker hookups.
On the speakers list are
leaders in religious. educational,
social, and civic affairs of the
nation, embracing both tn
Jewish and Christian creeds.
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, honorary
president of the American Jewish
Congress, will preside.
Lehman to Speak
The speakers include Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman, former Gov.
Alfred E. Smith, Senator Robert
F. Wagner, Bishop William T.
Manning, Bishop John j. Dunn,
representing Cardinal Hayes;
Bishop Francis j. Mcconnell,
Charles H. Tuttle, Mayor John
p. O'Brien, and William Green,
president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
The speeches will be carried to
all parts of the United States
and to 13 foreign countries by
special radio hookups. A force of
700 police has been assigned by
Police Commissioner Mulrooney
to preserve order at Madison
Square Garden and the overflow
meetings.
Jews throughout the country
were called upon by their leaders
to spend the day in fasting and
prayer that the persecution
against their co-religionists in
Germany might cease.

"Yes." Nollie hesitated. "She
wasn't exactly nasty. At least
I don't think she meant to be.
She asked me If was the Sec
retary or-or your housekeeper
companion?"
"She did! She would! I
might have known it! One Of
the woman down at Juan told
me that when Rhoda was jeal-
Gus she was absolutely feline!"

me-" protested Nollie.

What chance had she against

But Tony's handsome Irish
eyes would stray to Nollie's
face, as though with a question
in them.
And when he spoke to Rhoda,
the beguiling note the other
girl had heard just wasn't
there. Neither was the warm
and shiny look in them.
Tony and Rhoda won the
first rubber.
Then Tony drew Mrs. Jud-
son as his partner.

me luck" He flashed a bright
glance at Nollie.

The new game was brought to
