COURT DELAYS FIGHT
TO KILL D. C. DRY LAW
Hearing Scheduled Tomorrow on
Validity of Volstead
Act. :.

Hearing on motions made wednes-
day by Attorneys George Boden and
Louis Whitestone challenging the au-
thority of liquor law enforcement in
the District yesterday was postponed
until IL am. Monday, when Judge Gus
A. Schuldt will hear arguments.
In addition to the two motions-one
to quash evidence and another to dis
miss prosecution In the liquor case
of Roland Steiner-a plea in abate-
ment was filed In Police Court yester-
day.
Liquor Prosecutor David A.. Hart
asked for the postponement of hearing
until he could prepare answers Both
Boden and Whitestone insisted on q
hearing as soon as possible, as, they
pointed out, the decision affects every
one in the District. Hart today re-
ceived sheaf of rulings. briefs and
other information from the Depart
ment of Justice on the legal aspect Of
the motions.
The defense attorneys contend that
the national prohibition act wes
written "for all the people" and that it
automatically became invalid-in the
District as well as In all United States
territory-with the repeal of the eight
eenth amendment which it was drafted
to enforce
Steiner was arrested two months ago
on the liquor charge.

whether he should go into private busi-
ness, for which there were opportun-
tiles, or stick, If possible, to the Gov
ernment service.
This is the most interesting place
in the whole world" he said, land I
would like to get into the middle Of it
and stick with 1t. This New Deal is
going somewhere"
1t took him just few weeks to do
it. While others were lamenting the
vicissitudes of budget-balancing econo-
my, Mr.. Miller went straight to the
source of one of the major activities
OF the new deal-the A. A. A. And it
was not long before he was chief of
the Imports Division of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, a post for
which he had providentially been fitted
by study and experience.
And, representing the Department of
Agriculture, he has got himself into
the thick of one of the biggest jobs in
ashington-helping to bargain with
foreign nations on how much licuor
they can send here in return for other
things. He always has had the knack
of getting ahead.
Born in Vincennes, Ind, in 1894, Mr..
Miller attended Notre Dame for two
years, received his bachelor of arts de-
gree from the University of Indiana and
his master of arts from Catholic Uni
versity here, just as the war was break
ing out. He attended the first training
camp at Fort Myer and was commits
stoned first lieutenant with the 320th
Infantry, 80th Division. Although an
infantryman, Mr.. Miller's aversion to
walking long distances, or even short
distances, led him to seek broader op-
portunities, matter In which the late
Brig. Gen. Lloyd NJ. Brett. command
ing the 160th Infantry Brigade, CO.
operated by selecting him as an aide.
In France his military services were
officially recognized by promotion and
citations, while his gift for obtain
ing the softest bed, the most attractive
billet, and the best food when mere COL
onels slept on the floor and ate bully
beef was positively unique. After the
away dreary Winter waiting for boat
home, Capt Miller spent much time
investigating the odd mental traits of a
horse named "32," and in studying the
French language.
Returning to Washington he entered
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce after having obtained an
other degree from the Georgetown For
eign Service School and serving there as
assistant professor. He was promoted
to assistant chief of the European Divi-
sion in 1924: in 1925 was appointed
trade commissioner and sent to Paris,
later being promoted to assistant COM
mercial attache at Paris and later still
to commercial attache at Brussels
Shortly before he sailed for France
with the A. E. F., he married Miss
Louise Noonan, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John J. Noonan of Cleveland Park.

ASHURST PREPARES
SECURITY TAX BILL
Senator Says Income Levy
Authority Is in Con-
stitution.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Legislation to tax the income from
Government securities now tax-exempt
is being prepared by Senator Ashurst,
Democrat of Arizona, for consideration
by Congress. =
The chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee. who introduced proposed con-
stitutional. amendment last session for
this purpose, told reporters yesterday
he had come to the definite conclu-
sion" that the same end could be ac-
complished by legislative enactment
Like Senator Borah, Republican Of
Idaho, and some others. Ashurst said
he had decided after long study that
the sixteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution was "all inclusive" in that 1t
gave Congress the power to levy and
collect taxes on income from whatever
source derived"
Further Rights Seen.
He said he believed this language was
even to tax the income from State and
local obligations, but that question as
well as whether to apply the proposed
levy to outstanding issues Of Federal
bonds, together with future issues,
would be left for future decision.
Others contend a constitutional
amendment would be necessary and
that any additional revenue thus raised
would be offset by increased rates Of
interest the Government would have to
pay.
To support their view, opponents
called attention to the House Ways and
Means Subcommittee report saying it
would take constitutional amendment
to apply the income tax to all Federal
security issues.
In that report, L. H. Parker, expert
on the Joint Congressional Tax Com
mittee. came to the same conclusion.
At his suggestion, the subcommittee
tentatively approved a proposal to sub
ject all future issues to the surtax.
Subject to Surtax.
Parker said $4,000, 100000 of the
total $4,000, ,000,0 Of the interest
bearing debt of the United States in
August already was subject to surtax.
He estimated the interest on $17,z
SOC. 600 900 Of State and local indebted
ness at $3.50 900 900 and that on the
Federal debt at s825, ,000, 900. indicating
rate of 5l2 and 3A per cent interest.
respectively.
Parker estimated the most the Gov
ernment could derive in revenue from
subjecting all public debt interest to
surtax would be 10000, 900 q year,
about $90,000,000 from individuals and
S70,000,000 from corporations.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, December e.
Federal Judge Edgar S. Vaught of the
western Oklahoma district today grant
ed writ of habeas corpus that freed
a man held in jail here on a liquor
charge.
The writ. which broke new ground in

an alleged liquor law violation. Judge
Vaught directed that Smith be released
on his own bond pending an appeal of
the case to the United States Supreme
Court.
Judge Vaught directed that the 232
other defendants in the district also
should be freed on their own bonds un-
til the high court has spoken.

sentence has not been passed. For his
precedent, Judge vaught referred to an
opinion of the United States Supreme
Court givn in 1870 holding that court
did not have jurisdiction in case un-
less the law for prosecution in the case
be in existence at the time.

HANUkkAH' FEAST
To BEGIN TUESDAY
Jewish Observance, Without Cen.
trail Ceremonies, to Last
Eight Days.

"Hanukkah," the feast of dedication,
win be celebrated in Jewish homes
throughout the country, beginning
Tuesday night and continuing for eight
days.
No central ceremonies are planned,
but the event is looked forward to by
. children as an important home festival.
It is occasion not only for rejoicing on
1 the part of children, but is eagerly an
! ticipated by the poor, who are always
: literally remembered.
The historical background for the
celebration is the rededication by
Judas Maccabeus, in 165 B. c., of the
temple at Jerusalem after its defile-
ment by Antiochus Epiphanes, who had
set up in place of the altar a shrine to
his heather god
One of the legends surrounding the
Festival is that when the temple was
/ rededicated, only a single cruise of oil
was found undefiled, but through the
Intervention of God, this oil proved to
be sufficient for burning for eight sue
cessive nights. until other oil fit for the
service might be prepared. For this
reason, Jews to this day light candles
in their homes in celebration of Hanuk-
kah for eight successive nights One
Is lighted the first night, two the second
night, and so on.

L|NDbERGHS PLAN
HOP OVER JUNGLE
Colonel and Wife Will Leave
Today for Inland City
of Manaos.

BY the Associated Press.
PARA, Brazil, December 9.-Col. and
Mrs Charles A. Lindbergh decided to-
day that the next lap of their long
odyssey will be flight over jungle
wilderness to Manaos, more than 800
miles inland up the great Amazon
River.
They determined to set out early to-
morrow for Manaos, a city of $4,000
population, and to leave there Monday
to continue their homeward journey by
way of Trinidad, Puerto Rico and
Miami.
Should the Americans subsequently
take the shortest overland route to the
coast they would have to fly over more
than 600 miles of dense jungle 1t was
not indicated, however, whether they
would return to the seacoast by way of
the Amazon.
/. The Lindberghs arrived here yester-
day from Natal, Brazil, after a flight
of 1,094 miles. They landed at Natal
after flying across the South Atlantic
from Africa.
They arose early today and, with
United States Consul George E. Seltzer,
called on Magazines Barata, the Off
cial government representative. Then
they went to the air field to see how
mechanics were progressing in the
overhauling of their seaplane
Pan-American Always said it was
understood the Lindberghs would re-
turn from Manaos down the Amazon
to Para, where the nor.hward flight
would be resumed by way of the West
Indies. Col. Lindbergh is technical ad-
wiser for Pan-American.
The route to Manaos lies approxi-
mately along the course Of the Amazon,
which would furnish wide highway
for any landing. The route is a popu-
lar commercial line.
Manaos is the capital of Amazonas
state and it is on the River Negro
about 10 miles above its confluence with
the Amazon. The city is commercial
center for the upper Amazon region.

 REPLAC|NG BRIDGES

Three small wooden bridges are being ripped out near mile 40 of the Moose Pass-Hope Highway, and culverts and gravel fills replaced in their stead, thereby adding per- manent improvements to the road system which is the pride of South western Alaska.
 Under the supervision of Fore man Jack Ebing of the B. P. R., a temporary camp has been estab- lished at Mile 40 from which point the new work will be carried on. The gravel trap is at Mite 44h2.
 The new fills will keep the crew of six busy for about week but other work on that end of the road will require at least two additional weeks. The Palmer Creek road was recently worked over it's entire length and again IS in excellent shape.

any connection with what were
formerly called relief work prof.
ects and the new civil works prof.
ects, it was pointed out yesterday

while the federal government IS
paying the wages of all those EN-,
ployed on civil works projects, all
of the work will be done under
the supervision of local authori,
ties in the counties, cities and
towns in which the projects are
located. The status OF these
workers will be the same as any
others and they will be required
to give value received for the
wages they will get, or be dls-
placed by others who are willing
and capable of doing the work
if a worker is dropped from a
civil works project payroll for IN
efficiency and inability or down
right laziness or unwillingness to
work, such a worker cannot now
expect to get back on a 1ederai

TAX ON FIELD
CORN RELAXED
10 Remain at Sc; no tax
to Growers on Process
ing for Own Use

WASHINGTON, Dec. /. (UP).
The processing tax on field corn
will remain at the five-cents-a-
bushel rate set November 5 in
stead of being advanced to 20
cents today as was originally in
tended by the agricultural adj
justment administration, Acting
Secretary of Agriculture Tugwell
announced last night.
Revised regulations affecting
the processing tax were issued
with the approval of President
Roosevelt. They stated that the
five cents rate would "prevent
the accumulation of surplus stocks
and depression in the farm price
of field corn
Tugwell also announced the
presidents approval of a supple
ment to field corn regulations
which has the effect Of exempt
ing certain producers rom MAX
ing affidavits that the corn is be-
ing processed for their own use,
as required by the original regu-
lations. The exemption applies
to producers who have their own
corn processed ut the rate of not
more than one bushel week for
their own use. Millers are au-
thorized to make a sworn state
ment at the end of each month
that they have not knowingly
processed more than one bushel
of corn in any one week, for the
use of single producer himself
or his own household"
The request for such an amend
ment, it was explained, came
from southern localities where
growers take their corn to COM
munity grist mills for grinding
for their own consumption. Corn
processed for consumption by the
grower is exempt from tax.

DIR. WYNEKOOP
SERIOUSLY Ill.
Son Hopes to Gain Liberty
and Clear up Death
Mystery

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-(UP).-
Earle Wynekoop hopes personally
to clear up the mystery surround
ing the strange death of his red
haired wife, he revealed yester-
day while his mother, who is
charged with the girls Staying,
was under treatment for a seri-
Gus illness in a nearby jail ward.
Both Earle and his mother,
Dr. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop, 81
year-old matriarch, are in Jail.
The mother, who has repudiated
her confession" that she fired d
bullet into the back of her daugh-
ter-in-law, Rheta,, was guarded
closely to prevent a suicide at
tempt.
Dr.. Wynekoop was indicted
Wednesday on charges of murder
in Rheta, whose almost nude
body was found on Tuesday, Nov.
pc, on an operatin table in the
basement of the Wnekoop fam
ily's Monroe street mansion.
Earle has been held on a police
charge Of being an accessory be-
fore the fact. Detectives claim
that he and his mother plotted
Rheta's death to get her out of
Earle's way and so that the
mother could collect on the girls
insurance policies.
Authorities admitted, however,
that they had little evidence
aainst the son and husband. They
limited that he might be released
today when his attorneys demand
his freedom on writ of habeas
corpus.
The son, it was pointed out,
has established a clean-cut abb
that he was in Peoria, ILL.,, at the
hour when Rheta died. Neither
he nor his mother made any ad-
mission upholding the police
claim that there was a conspiracy
between them.

CIVIL WORKS EMPLOYEES TO
WORK OR GET OFF THE JOB;
RELIEF FOR ABLE IDLE ENDS
Inefficient, Lazy, or Those Unwilling to Work Can't
Find Federal Aid and May Be Prosecuted
for Non Support

federal relief for any able bodied
person able to work.
Because some $4,000 of those
who are going to be employed on
civil works projects have been
taken from what were formerly
relief administration lists, and
who either received direct relief
or were on work relief projects,
some may think that if they DO
not like their jobs on civil works
projects they can quit them and
go back on the relief lists" Mrs.
Thomas O'Berry, now both civil
works and emergency relief ad-
ministrator for the state said.
"But those who think this are
doomed to be sadly disappointed.
For if they are given opportun-
ity to work for a living wage and
are too lazy or shiftless to hold
their Jobs, they will not be put
back on the relief lists, for there
will be no more relief except for
those unable to work"
Some of those who have studied
the new regulations believe that
a man who is offered job on a
civil works project and who re-
fused to take it or who quits or
is fired for incompetence, if he
has dependents, can be prosecut-
ed for non-support. ~ r"
