To DRY CAUSE

BY the appearance of 80 beer,
the people of this country have
had a taste of repeal and they
are not going to stand for it,"
This is the opinion of Deets
Pickett, research secretary of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, who
spoke yesterday at a dry rally
in the Mt. Vernon Place
Methodist Episcopal Church
South, held under the auspices
of the Washington Committee Of
One Hundred Opposed to the
Return of the Saloon, in coopera-
ton with the National Prohibi-
tion Emergency Committee.
Pickett said that the return of
beer is favorable to the drys in
that it has caused the return Of
scenes which are disgusting the
public.
DR.. Albert Joseph Mccartney,
also addressing the rally, eX-
pressed the hope that if repeal is
approved, it is not by the assist
ance of the friends of the
church."
Speakers included Representa-
tiVes Will Rogers of Oklahoma;
Gale H. Stalker of New York, and
j. Howard Swick of Pennsylvania.

NEW PLANE IS SENSATION

BERLIN O.N.SO.-A new light
plane for which extraordinary
flying qualities are claimed and
which Is heralded as the plane
of the future" has been con-
structed by Gerhard Fieseler,
European stunt flying champion.
The "Fieseler S" two scatter
monoplane is equipped with an
engine of but go horsepower, said
to give a maximum speed Of 130
miles per hour.
1t is claimed this new plane is
absolutely foolproof and easy to
control.
The Washington times., 1933-06-12

At the Tempelhof airport, Herr
Fieseler demonstrated that his
machine takes off and flies quite
automatically. 1t can even be
flown with two of the three
rudder controls out of action.
The 12-folC safety factor with
which the machine is built and
which is unusually high for a
plane of that class renders it
excellent for stunt flying, the
constructor claimed.
The plane can be taken apart
within five minutes and can be
parked in an automobile garage.

foiled an extortion plot in which
she was threatened with death,
was told by police today after

amount in small bills and hide it
in a certain spot in a YorkVille

Mrs. Fuller wrapped a dummy
package and delivered it at the
beer garden. Four detectives
waited. Several hours later,

PARTY LEADERS
ADVISED To
QUIET FEAR

President Roosevelt, invested
with unusual power by the spe-
cial session of Congress now be-
ing driven to a close, has in
formed congressional leaders that
he will closely supervise the vast
activities of his appointed agents
during the recess.
The assurance has served to
quiet the fear of some veteran
Democratic leaders who see in the
semi-dictatorial power given the
President the possibility of either
great good or vast harm.
With final action on the in
dustrial recovery bill to come, the
end Of Congress will leave Presi-
dent Roosevelt with greater re-
sponsibility than any other peace
time Chief Executive in the ma
tion'S history.
Is Hours Day
Having worked at a driving
pace for three months, the Presi-
dent is planning to continue on
a 15-hour-a-day schedule when he
returns from his vacation.
The President, his congress
sional advisers say, is pinning
great hope for business recovery
upon the industrial bill.
While some manufacturers have
threatened to close their plants
rather than submit to a licensing
system, the President and his
aides believe industry and labor
can be brought together, prices
raised, sweat shop" wages out
laWed, and business generally put
on a profit basis.
To Expedite Program
The President, under the bill
with it's licensing system, may
permit one manufacturing plant
to run and order another to close.
The $3,300,000,000 public works
program will be launched immedi-
ately. Government agencies now
have before them State and city
projects amounting to $4,000, ,0O0,-
900. The Federal highway, public
building, and Navy programs are
expected to be started within 80
to so days.
Appointment of Commissioner
Joseph Eastman, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, as rail-
road coordinator is expected soon.
The initiation policy of the Ad-
ministration remains uncertain.
Although the President has power
to order issuance of $3,000,00O,000
in "greenbackS," there is no indi-
cation he will use the authority.

MT and Mrs Edward Holbrook, of Ashland, Montana, announce the engagement of their daughter Grace Edla, to MT. Thomas Cashen of Douglas. The wedding date is set for the near future.
 Miss Holbrook is teacher in the Douglas Public School and has made her home with MT. and Mrs. Felix Gray for the past three years. The bride-to-be is Mrs. Gray's niece.

citizens. We are not interested in the gamblers angles, except in our efforts to make racing honest.
 California once was a great breeding state for thoroughbreds. It is our desire to bring it back to that and we will guard against any funny business on the tracks which might harm breeding
 Commissioners Wealthy
 All of which is si2able under taking, by gentlemen who know the finer side of thoroughbred racing. All three commissioners are independently wealthy. Their business integrity admits no ques- tioning.
 J. J. McNaughton, before going into the stockyards business in Los Angeles, was a rancher and COW wrangler. William P. Ruth of San Francisco is a director in one of 1 the vests biggest steamship com panies. His wife owns a breeding farm for gaited riding horses.
 So while the. politicians and the would-be race track promoters mourn about the delay in grant, ing permits, "at loss in taxes in the state" these commission CTS bide their time, determined that the sport of kings shall be given a firm foundation.
 Oncc racing is started, the commission proposes to demand honesty not only in the training quarters, stables, paddocks and or the track, but also in the opera tion of the pari-mutuels. It has drawn up a strict set of rules.
 As proof of the type of track the commission insists on the first unlimited permit was granted the St. Francis Jockey Club of San Francisco, backed by persons whose names are outstanding in business and social circles. A million and a quarter will be spent on the plant.
 That is the only way racing can last said Burke We want the peoples confidence in horse racing. California lost it twenty five years ago because of track irregularities. The right kind oi horse racing will come pack to California to stay"

EXPERIENCES DURING WAR REVIEWED BY GLEN KIRKHAM BEFORE DOUGLAS STUDENTS

In talk which held the attcn- ton and interest of the students for an hour, Glenn Kirkham, World War Veteran, described his experiences overseas. In addition to the high school students, the upper six grades also were pres ent.
 Although an American citizen, MT. Korkham said he tried to en- list in 1914 at the start of the war. At that time he would have lost his citizenship if he had gone into the Canadian army; there fore it was two years later that he actually enlisted when he could retain his citizenship.
 With Canadian Forces
 MT. Kirkham went to Montreal in 1916, where he joined the Can adian forces. At the barracks there he was given an outfit and paraded and drilled with the oth- CT recruits.
 Two weeks later he was lined up with 450 others and marched to the waterfront of the St. Lawrence river where thousands of people cheered them and gave them gifts.
 On the battered old tub" in which they were transported over seas there were 65 men and 776 horses. MT. Kfkham found out later that the horses were intend- ed for beef for the soldiers.
 Crossing the Atlantic was calm and uneventful until they reach ed the coast of Ireland and all manner of craft, both water and air, circled around them.
 Go To London
 After disembarkation the men were taken to London where they spent several days taking in the sights. Crossing the Channel, they landed at le Havre in De- cember and left for the front in January, 1917.
 MT. Kirkham did not dwell on the details at the front, although he was wounded and gassed On one furlough he visited Paris. He took part in the last desperate campaign when 80 German divis- ions were concentrating on reach ing Paris. In the basement of house they stayed at the front they heard peculiar noises. On digging down to the basement, they found r or 18 French sol-
