RUM SELLERS
RacketeerS Will Not Be Freed
BY Repeal, Attorney Gen.
eraI Cummings Says
International News Service

Racketeers and other criminally
minded persons who hope to be
freed from Federal prisons as a
result of repeal of the prohibition
amendment will be disappointed,
Attorney General Cummings an
nounced today.
While leniency will be accorded
to those convicted of prohibition
violations whose past records were
otherwise good, persons Of Grim
inal tendencies, even though SEN
fenced for no more than prohibi-
tion violations, will be required to
serve out their terms.
To Keep Grip on Criminals
Cummings said the same prin-
ciples in general applied to per-
sons whose trials are pending
in Federal courts for violations Of
the Volstead act. He declared:
'T will use the prohibition law,
where the Offense was committed
prior to its repeal, or any other
possible law to keep the rack
eteers and other criminals in
prison.
Gas to the simple prohibition
viOlatOrs, for instance first Of.
Tenders, whose previous charac-
ter was good and q who would
not be likely to offend against
the law again, a policy of ex-
trenle leniency has been adopt
ed.
TN cases of persistent viola
tors Of the law no such policy
can be employed. Some of
this class who have been in
dicted or whose cases are under
investigation may be reindicted
under the Internal Revenue
laws"

To SEE BABY,
HOWEVER
Flying Couple Besieged With
Invitations; Asked to Be
Guest of Republic

NATAL, Brazil, Dec. 7 G.N.SO.
Holding his plans in allegiance,
Col. Charles A. Lindhergh devoted
himself today to the care of his
plane, which carried him and Mrs.
Lindbergh from Africa yesterday
In the second ocean crossing they
have made together.
After spending the night as
guest Of A. D. Scotchbrook, Bri-
tish consul and Pan-American
Airways official, Colonel Lind
bergh motored to the waterfront
at 10 a. m. and went out to his
plane, moored in the Potency
River.
A flood of invitations from
throughout South America poured
In upon the Lindberghs today, ask
ing the famous ocean-conquering
couple to accept the hospitality Of
various city, state and national
governments.
Natal was anxious to pay tribute
formally to Mrs. Lindbergh's part
In the daring venture. She was
no mere passenger.
The Lindberghs received special
invitations from Rio de Janeiro,
capital Of Brazil, and Pernan-
buco.
Guests of Republic
The invitation from the capital
came from the Brazilian Federal
Government and asked the Amer
ican couple to be the official
guests of the republic.
Pernambuco is the western ter
minus of the Graf Zeppelin's
route from Germany to South
America, and the Governor of
Pernambuco wanted Colonel Lind
bergh to inspect the air landing
facilities of this port. Just south

promontory of South America.
nearest to Africa.
In addition, it was understood
q movement was under way
among delegates to the Pan
American Conference at Monte
video, Uruguay, to have the Lind
berghs visit there.
May Tour Country
A flight to the south was not
unlikely. Colonel Lindbergh long
has been anxious to tour South
America, and it is known here
he would like to visit the
numerous ports along the eastern
coast. Then he might cross the
continent to come north again
along the western coast, touch
ing the principal Pacific ports.
On the other hand, Mrs. Lind
bergh just a few days ago, when
at the Azores, expressed a de-
sire to return home as soon as
possible that she might see her
infant son Jon.
She has been away from him
for six months on the present
tour, and she is anxious to see
how her baby has grown. Her
wish may prevail.
MONTEVIDEO, Dec. 7 Q.N.SO.
Plans we're made by the aerial
navigation committee of the Pan"
American Conference today to in
vite Col. Charles A. Lindbergh to

FLAG DAY, JUNE Ia

Our American flag, generally conceded to be the
most beautiful national emblem in the world, was
officially adopted by the Continental Congress on
June H. 1777 in resolution which provided fol-
lows:
THAT the flag of the United States be 13 stripes
of alternating red and white, and that the union be
ID stars, white, blue field, representing a new
constellation
In the original flag the 13 stars arranged
in circle but after the admission of Vermont and
Kentucky to statehood the number of stars and
stripes was increased to Is each.
1t became evident that with the admission Of
more states the number of additional stripes
sary to represent them would make the flag unwield
N so in 1918 Congress restored the Is original stripes
to represent the ID original states provided that
in future the states should be represented by stars
only.
In commemoration of the adoption of the flag
by Congress in 177 June IA is celebrated through
out the nation Flag Day, fitting occasion upon
which to renew allegiance to the flag and all for
which it stands.

GAIL right, I won't go at all then.

years of age to come home from a

rather not go at ALL"

to be in by twelve, you know, so

you hand't come in, we got up and

until after one, and your father

Experts Will Study
Wheat at Curbs
World Conference Meets in Londan,
Reviews Work Done at
Geneva

London, May 81 = The interna-
tional wheat conference, which is
working for limitation of the world
acreage so as to raise prices, had
a two-hour session today, reviewing
the work of recent meetings at Ge-
neva.
Delegates from the United States,
Canada, Australia and Argentina
made statements based upon the
latest advices from their govern
ments.
The problem of production re-
strictions for each country was put
before experts and statisticians
who met under the direction of
Henry Morganthau, head of the
American delegation. The next
meeting of the chief delegates will
take place Friday.
Delegates to the conference are
hopeful that some plan can be
drawn up agreeable to each Of the
principal producing nations. Since
the harvest in the United States
and Canada is imminent and SOW
ing for next seasons crop already
has begun in the southern hemi-
sphere, it is improbable that any
plan could be made effective be-
fore 1894.
The scheme evolved, If any is
agreed on will be embodied in a
suggestion to the world economic
conference, which will be asked to
approve it and to obtain pledges
of cooperation from other nations.

Seek Real Value in Public
Service Mcdonnell Urges
Tax Creating Bodies So Numerous
They Dry Up the Revenue
Pond Official Says

Citizens must distinguish be-
tween real values and excess servi-
ces in government if they hope to
keep public expenses down; if
they hope to reduce tax delinquency
James p. Mcdonnell, of Buffalo,
president of the Minnesota Taxpay-
ers Association, declared in a talk
to the creamery association at
South Haven, Saturday.
"To attain complete living, and
economy in public service, we
should be able to appraise life's real
values. We must learn to know the
things that really count. We must
not put all our energy into things
that are transient and that leave
us exhausted as workers without
compromising in those qualities that
satisfy the mind. We should de-
velop that outlook which brings the
serene satisfaction that comes from
thrift, and from the possession of
worthwhile things" Mcdonnell
pointed out.
1--WE now have so many overlap
ping public departments in govern
ment that our services do not syn
chronize properly. One depart
ment after another grows into a
mere spending agency. In every
community we have several levying
bodies. No single board knows, or
tries to find out, how much the 9TH
er one will need in tax money.
Each goes about it's business Of
raising revenue without any real
conception of what the total tax
bill will amount to. The taxpayer
who wants to keep taxes down Is
not required merely to watch one
board, but he is forced to keep his
eye on a number of them. It is
confusing and expensive system. In
the United States, we have half
million tax-creating bodies, and the
Federal and State governments
more and more are tapping the
same sources. The cumulative tax
load is growing unbearable because
there are too many fish lines in
the same pond. The pond is being
fished out. is it any wonder there
is tax distress" Mcdonnell asked.
