terizing religion as the universal COM
forter in times of physical or spiritual
Distress" DR.. William j. Mayo says 'let
us not delude ourselves into believing
that communism or the State can take
the place of some form of spiritual
belief"
Dr. Mayo told the closing session of
the Interstate Post Graduate Medical
Association, of which he is retiring
president, that the emotions of man
play an important part in the practice
of medicine, and went on to say that
religion deals with the emotions,
which are the most primitive of mans
natural reactions.
There is tendency of the time for
a group OF ntellectuals-that is, per-
sons who have been educated beyond
their intelligence-to underrate the
value or religion" as the universal COM
forter," he said. but to the mass of
people religion has the same potency
that it has had for 1000 years.
His reference to communism and the
State was linked with the statement that
''the church is making heroic attempts
to teach things of the spirit and to
inculcate the principles of morals and
ethics into human relations in rapidly
changing and confused world"

jackson said Krieger had advised
Byers to take 10 per cent of the Army
goods he had already received from the
Government and to sell them to estab-
lish value as the basis for loan from
the Government. He said Byers had
adopted the suggestion as the loan was
requisite to the acquisition OF more

showed clearly the goods had been OBJ
tanned on Byers representation they
would be sold at cost to welfare agen-
cies and distributed to the needy. He

dent, stoned one of their own men into
Inconsistencies, beat a special police
man on guard and finally were dis
persed by police

ger barricaded himself behind his auto
and fellow policemen rescued him from
the approaching crowd. Kruger as
serted he saw at least five of the crowd
draw guns. By this time there were
300 pickets in the growing group and
Sheriff Harold v. Reilly dispatched 25
deputy sheriffs, 10 court officers and IA
Bergen County policemen, armed with
machine guns. to the scene Many of

NEW YORK, October 21.-While
fusion and recovery party candidates
waged heated personal warfare, Tam

unemployment and home relief.
This addition Is understood to be
planned for sometime between now and

will be called upon to untangle the
multitude of issues which have arisen
in the mayoralty campaign.
1t was reported that 5000 of these
new jobs will be found in the Bronx
stronghold Of Joseph v. Mckee, indie
pendent Democratic candidate.
Tammany strategy has made it evil
dent that caution will be taken to avoid
personalities in the campaign-a note

declared he had no intention of being
drawn into 'cat and dog fight"
La Guariia Answers Mckee.
Fforello La Guardia, fusion candi-
date, answered McKee's charges of Re-
publican maneuvering behind the fu-
sion campaign by declaring he would
operate on strictly non-partisan basis
if elected.
"On January 1, when I enter the
City Hall, go out of politics for four
years." he said.
"One can't be a good fellow and a
good mayor. One can't be good mayor
and a politician. My responsibility Is to
the City Of New York, and not to re-
habilitate any political party"

"His (McKee,s) ignorance Of what
has been going on in the country Is ex-
posed when he criticizes me for spon-
soring and pioneering the very measures
that are now part of the recovery pro-
gram and which he processes to sup

STATE AUTHORITY
FOR LIQUOR URGED
Rockefeller Report Says Ii.
censing System Would Be
for Personal Profit.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 21-A State
authority would impose restrictions on
the sale of alcoholic beverages for the
benefit of society, the Rockefeller liquor
survey said yesterday, whereas a lie
ensing system would be conducted for
personal profit.
Under State monopoly system" the
report said, 'the liquor would be sold
directly by the State through chain of
stores, the profits turned into the State
treasury, and that would be the end
of it.
Under the license system, on the
other hand, competing private dealers
are under constant temptation to build
up their sales and profits. The issuance
of liquor licenses to private dealers pre-
supposes the right to make living by
the sale Of liquor.
Private Sellers Interest.
"Since his livelihood is at stake, the
private seller always has been and al
ways will be interested in sales and
nothing but sales"
A State liquor authority, continued
the survey, could make its price-deter-
mining power one Oh lCS mOSC euecLlVe
instruments of control.
Rhode Island has enacted a law"
1t said, giving to its licensing board,
called the Alcoholic Beverage Commits
sion, power to fix the wholesale prices
of all such commodities (beverages), to
be sold within this State or to be i'm
ported -
This legislation recognizes the crucial
importance of regulating price; but
one may doubt whether Rhode Island
has proposed a workable method of
accomplishing the result. It is not
likely that a State liquor licensing
board can exercise power to fix prices
without running afoul Of the strongest
kind Of opposition and interference
from the private business interests
involved.
Profits or Losses.
"If prices are raised, those with
stocks on hand will reap unearned
profits; if they are lowered, losses will
ensue. Under such conditions, private
dealers will not be inclined to stand
idly by, nor will the public accept as
reasonable system which gives such
fortuitous profits or losses to in
dividuals.
I'VE anticipate, moreover, in con-
nection with this type OF legislation. a
veritable field day Of court actions.
At the very least, between the licensing
board and the private dealers a state
of war will inevitably develop into
which the Legislature will be drawn
In contrast, consider the alcohol
control authoritys position. The au-
thority could fix prices without the
slightest opposition from private busi-
ness interests because the authority
would own the liquor. Through price
control it could, within limits, modify
sales volume at will. On the basis Of
results, it could, if need be, change the
prices again.
"The authority would be equally
concerned with defeating the boot
logger and with avoiding the stimula-
tion of consumption which might
follow too low level Of prices"
