TRICK SEEN
BY FOES Of
COURT
Leaders in Congress Fear Jam
Of Roosevelt Program If
League Idea Is Pushed

Leaders Of Congress, intent on
Fastening enactment Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's economic re-
lief program, were highly dis
turbed today by his proposal
for Senate ratification Of the
League Court protocol at the
present session.
The Presidents advisers were
well aware that Senate action on
the League Court protocol, with
it's international complications,
would delay consideration of all
legislative matters for weeks.
They preferred to postpone de-
bate on the Court until the next
regular session Of Congress, so tbs
present special session may be
devoted exclusi1nal 4
legislation.
Court Foes Fear "Trick"
Mr.. Roosevelt urged ratification
upon the conditions laid down by
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee last June. He did this in
accord with the Democratic plat
form, which recommended ratifi-
cation of the pending reServa-
tions."
The latter include the famous
fifth reservation which was the
keynote Of American adherence in
1925 and which a dozen European
nations rejected.
The old irreconcilables, who op-
pose American entry into the
Court on any terms, feared q
"trick" lay behind the Presidents
unexpected proposal for immedi-
ate action.
They realized that the resolu-
ton of adherence, adopted by the
committee last June with the
fifth reservation included, died at
the end of the old Congress.
Root League Proposal
Fresh action would leave the
Senate free to abandon the fifth
reservation and accept adherence
on the terms of the so-called Root
protocol.
The Root protocol was drafted
in 1929 b@ a committee of juriSts
chosen by the League of Nations.
Elihu Root was a member of it
and along with Sir Cecil Hurst,
British diplomat, was credited
with writing new set OF terms
of American adherence. President
Hoover recommended American
approval of these items.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, however. rewrote the
resolution of adherence, included
the old fifth reservation, then
reported it favorably. The Sen
ate never acted on it.

The person named as dad"
according to detectives, is a re-
cluse residing on the Akron
Cleveland road, north of Akron.
The recluse, when questioned, de-
MED any knowledge of the plot.
Authorities said he was abSolved
in statements made by the boy.
Boy RemOrseful
Postoffice Inspector Ernest Clag-
gett, of Akron, said the boy was
remorseful over his purported act
when he was apprehended. The
boy was quoted:
81 don't know what I would
have done with the money if 1
had got it. My father will kill
me, though, when he hears of
this"
The boy, a pupil in Hudson
High School, explained the pc
culiar manner of addressing the
letter by saying he did not know
the correct Lindhergh address.

SIDEWALK
TABLE
PLAN
Revised Measure Provides 4
Types of Licenses, One
for Wholesalers

The District Commissioners
today will approve the revised
bill to legalize the sale Of 3.2
beer in the District.
The city heads recommended
that two provisions of the bill
be eliminated. The bill is to
be sent back to the Senate
later in the day.
The Commissioners disapproved
the sale of beer on sidewalk tables
in front of restaurants licensed
to dispense the beverage, and
recommended this feature of the
bill be eliminated.
Present Force Sufficient
They also recommended that
the present force in the license
bureau effice be permitted to ham
die the dispensing of licenses with.
out additional help.
Revised SO as to provide for
the issuance of four types Of
licenses, instead of for three as
proposed by the House, the Dis
trict beer bill will be submitted
to the Senate District Commit
tee this afternoon.
The District Committee meet
ing was called by Senator William
H. King (DO Utah, chairman, at
the request of Senator Millard e.
Tydings (D) of Maryland, chair.
man of the special subcommittee
which has had the bill under
consideration.
Wholesale License Added
The subcommittee and the full
committee will consider the
measure as revised by Senator
Tydings, legislative counsel, and
representatives of the corpora
ton counsel's office at the same
time instead of separately as
originally planned.
Senator Tydings said the re-
vised bill provides for four types
of licenses. Three of these as
provided by the House were the
brewers license. the "off" sale
and "on" sale licenses. The ad-
ditional license recommended will
be for wholesalers and distribu.
tors. The charge for these licenses
has not been determined.
Sees Passage by April
Discussing the possibility Of
the bills being delayed until after
April z because of the many
changes that have ben made,
Senator Tydings said:
II believe its enactment should
be delayed for two or three
days, If such delay is necessary
In writing model bill.
II believe, however, that we
will secure its enactment before
April T."
Efforts of Senator Tydings to
secure unanimous consent of the
Senate to file the beer bill and
report late today even though the
Senate may have adjourned
were blocked by Senator William
E: Borah (R0 Idaho, and Senator
Charles l.. McNary (R.) Oregon,
minority floor leader.
Delayed at Least a Day
If Tydings had secured unani.
nous consent, it would have been
possible to take the bill up to-
morrow, providing that the com.
mittee completed it's work this
afternoon and the Senate legisla.
tive calendar was cleared.
Because of the objections, con-
