 LIQUOR DISPUTE

Control and taxes for Ine reporii billion dollar liquor trade embroil. ed the nation in a rising storm or controversy today.
 High liquor prices brought wide spread fears that the activities oi bootieggers and gangsfers would pc revived, A United Press survey showed relative high prices prevail ing in almost every section of the country. Legal bonded Whiskey sold for SIP a quart in Philadelphia and $1O in Pittsburg.
 High prices and fear of the boot legger caused Joseph H. Choate, Jr. chairman of the federal alcohol control administration to threaten reluctant but drastic government action.
 A burst of buying accompanied repeal in wet states, business sur yeys showed. First affects of re. peal in stimulating re-employment also began to be felt. Shipping in terests anticipated steady improve ment.
 The tax dispute pointed to bit ter wet-dry fight in congress next month. Vets sought taxation that would bring the price of whiskey down to $1.50 a quart
 Jouett Shouse, repeal leader, charged in an address at Philadel- phia, that the government already had instituted control through codes that was "as unwise" as the 18th amendment.
 Officials of the various states struggled with local problems. In wet states the question was wheth- CT to levy state liquor taxes, or abolish them to qualify under q projected plan for sharing federal liquor revenues. In others, the question of repeal of state dry laws was before legislatures now in ses- sion. The Wisconsin assembly is to convene Monday to consider re- peal problems.

 Madrid, Dec g - (UP) = (Via Telephone to Gibraltar) A long planned anarchist revolution broke out in the northeastern provinces and after spreading rapidly to a dozen towns over a wide area today seemed to have passed it's height.
 A state of alarm which precedes martial law. was declared throughout the country this after noon as the government mobiNzed police and civil guardsmen to send to affected areas. l.
 Centering at Zaragoza and Bar celona, the revolt had been planed to spread to the entire country.
 Authorities, though hopeful the revolt had failed, were watchful, fearing strikes that might become of revolutionary character.
 Bombings, street fights and a railway wreck marked the out break, of which the country had been in fear for days. ,Rhere was serious loss of life but no casualty lists had been tabulated, so fast did reports multiply.
 From Barcelona and ZaragoZa, important industrial towns, the re- volt spread to smaller ones around and later broke out in Cuenca, southeast of Madrid; Linares. down ear the Mediterranean, and the island of Minorca, according to reports.
 Telephone and telegraph wires Madrid with the north crn and eastern districts. were cut by revolutionists and for time the capital was cut off from large part of the country and with northern Europe.
 Communications were being re- stored rapidly this morning, At g o'clock the general, situation seem ed more, quiet.
 The anarchists sought to effect q general revolutionary strike at Barcelona, aimed at 0verthrowing the government in favor of 8 lib- ertary communistic regime.
 Several persons were killed when the Bilbao -Zaragoza (Saragossa) express train was wrecked, appar- ently by satboteurs, at 1uera.
 There, were sanguinary nights at half a dozen towns between aRar- cl1ists and sydicalists, one one side, and police and civil guardsmen on

long as the lnQuStry keeps US house in order, Joseph H. Choate. Jr, chairman of the FACA said.
 Choate believes that the codes contain sufficient regulatory pro-. visions that 1t will be necessary for the FACA to police the busi- ness.
 In event, however, the industry fails to "clean house." he said, the government will step in. Prices and volume of production will be controlled. Unfair trade practices will be eliminated.
 The FACA kept clear of the liquor tax fight. Only if requested by congress to do so, will his or- ganization recommend tax levels, Choate said.
 "The treasury" he observed, "seems to appreciate fully that high taxation of liquor may defeat the treasury purpose of getting all the available revenue"
 High liquor prices certainly do" come within the category of mat ters on which the industry must "clean house." he said.
 Sufficient data is not yet avail able to determine whether or not excessive prices are being charged for liquor over the entire nation.

 Miss Pickford followed the com plaint with a brief formal state-@ ment that read:
 For the past several years my married life has become increas- ingly unhappy. Being convinced that under the existing circum- stances the future offers no solu- tion, it is with the deepest regret that I am filing suit for divorce"
 Having made this non -committal statement, the actress boarded a train for New York where she in- tends to study plays preparatory to a possible Broadway appearance.
