titles Of not less than five gallons at
one time, but who does not deal in
wines and fermented fruit juices, is
considered a wholesale dealer in malt
liquor and, as such. is required to pur-
chase special tax stamp at the rate
Of $50 per year.
Purchasers of special tax stamps, at
the rate of $25 per year, bearing the
title Retail Liquor Dealer may engage
not only in the sale of fermented malt)
liquors, but also in the sale of 80 per
cent wines and fermented fruit juices,
in less quantities than five gallons at
one time, without incurring additional
liability.
"A wholesale liquor dealer shall pay

cent Of alcohol by weight, but may like
wise sell fermented malt liquors Of like
alcoholic strength in quantities of not
less than five gallons at one time, with
out incurring additional special tax
liability.
"A qualified wholesale dealer in malt
liquor and qualified wholesale liquor
dealer cannot sell in quantities of less
than five gallons without incurring
liability as a retail dealer, nor can &
qualified retail dealer in malt liquor, or
qualified retail liquor dealer, sell in
quantities of five gallons or more at one
time. without incurring liability for

SMITH CR|T|C|zES
RECOVERY STATUTE
HThis Is the Field Day for
! New School of Planners"
~ He Writes.

NEW YORK, June 30.-Former Gov.
Alfred e. Smith, writing in the New
Outlook yesterday, asserted he might be
"old fashioned, but he could not under
stand how the national recovery act
can possibly work.
L have never hesitated to recon-
mend the extension OF Government ac-
tivities to meet the needs Of growing
population in an age of industrial in
vention," wrote Smith, Democratic
presidential nominee in 1928. but this
plan goes beyond anything my imagina-
ton can follow"
At the bottom Of the cause Of the de-
preston, said Smith. is human nature.
He added that it was only by raising the
general level Of human character
throughout the world that new society
free from the causes Of depression could
be brought about.
A Job for the Doctor.
Viewed from this angle" Smith con-
tinued, the job is one for the philoso-
pher, the priest and the doctor. rather
than the statesman, lawyer or business
executive.
Il do not mean to say that we must
spinelessly accept present conditions. I
do mean to imply that there Is such .
thing as putting too much faith in po-
ltical and scientific schemes Of saliva
ton. This is the field day for the aca
demic planner, for the man who has
been reading in the library, writing
books and lecturing to students. and
VINO now has a great big laboratory for
experiment"
The first article of the recovery act.
said Smith, provides for the control Of
business and lis obviously the work Of
the new school of social and economic
planners" The act, he continued. con-
templating agreements governing all
branches of industry, abrogates the
Sherman antitrust law.
The act is labeled as . temporary
emergency measure so as to get it by
the United States Supreme Court" said
Smith.
Little Man" in Danger.
IF its terms are carried out literally,
the tendency will undoubtedly be to
cripple initiative, legalize and even Of
ficially encourage moropoly raise prices
and require higher tariffs to maintain
the new structure. In such triumph
Of bureaucracy. the little man would be
lost in the shuttle.
"On the other hand" he continued,
"the powers may not actually be used.
It may be just another case Of CIV
ing the radicals the machine and let
ting the conservatives run it. If this
Is so, in the end it will not satisfy either
group. and both groups are likely to
feel that they have been handed the
bologna.
Il am in favor Of applying the curb
to industry where necessary. but not
of placing the heavy, paralyzing hand
OF the Government upon all the busi-
ness enterprises of the Nation. I be-
neve in good public administration. but
I know its limitations. I am in favor
of restoring conditions which make
business leadership possible rather than
OF looking to the Government to pro-
vide it,

YEGGS BATTER
OPEN 5 CITY
OFFICE SAFES
Loot in Downtown Raids
by CrackSmen Believed
About $3.50.

Two downtown business offices
were invaded by safecrackers over
the weekend, with loot estimated at
$3.50 being obtained from five safes.
Officials of Krauss Laundry, 81
North East street, this morning esti-
mated loss of $500 from an office
safe which had been battered open.
Although only $50 in cash was
believed taken from Bakers Bros,
furniture store, 219 East Washing
ton street, where four safes were
rifled, officials reported large
amount of damage done to valuable
papers, which we're scattered over
the office.
Two of the safes contained val
liable papers only with the money
in the office being contained in the
other two.
Because the doors of one safe had
been battered, and could not be
opened for inspection, officials we're
unable to say whether its contents,
approximately $654.35, had been
taken.
The fourth safe, of large steel
type, had been battered open and
its $50 contents taken.
Entrance to the Baker store was
gained from a nearby roof into an
upper story rear window, after
which the burglars are believed to
have roamed through the upper
floors to the Office. officials esti-
mated that the burglars must have
spent several hours in the store.
The robbery was discovered early
this morning by Howard Egolf.
merchant policeman, who saw the
scattered papers on the office floor.
The store had been robbed three
other times in the last four years,
officials said.
Four years ago, $4,000 was OBJ
tanned, $4,000 was taken three years
ago and $3.50 was obtained in a rob-
berry last April
Waterman Egolf also discovered
the Krauss robbery as he made his
rounds early last night. He found
window of the laundry open on the
south side of the building. In
veStigation showed the looted safe.
