 It is important because the fcd- eral trade commission Is going to take on heavier and heavier duties in connection with enforcement of MIRA codes. This commission and the labor, justice and commerce departments are going to become more vital factors in making the codes work, now that the more important of them have been adopted and complaints of evasions pile higher and higher.
 Naturally, President Roosevelt wants men on the trade commits sion who see eye to eye with him on recovery and the NRA. He has nothing against Humphrey person- ally. By the way, there's nothing to that talk of the republicans making party issue of this case The supreme court, now fortu- nate1y in session, may have to decide this question soon-wheth- CT the president has the right. arbitrarily and without charging inefficiency, neglect or malfea- sance, to remove a member of a quasi Judicial body like the trade commission.

CHAFTNG DISH AND WINE COOLER
(New York Herald. Tribune)

(New York Hcrald.Tribune)
 Among the other possible re- versions to meliower times, viewed with something of nostalgia by people about to be relieved from q burdensome sumptuary law, Is tho revival of the pleasant old cuS- tom of after-thcater suppers, ac- cording to the forecast of Oscar of the Waldorf. Serious midnight dining declined in the nervous wartime years and virtually dis appeared with the advent of pro. hibition. The consumption of hard liquors was no inducemcnt to thoughtful and graceful eating, and the time spirit Of the last dcc- ade or 50 has not been favorable to anything more distinctive than scrambled eggs or Western sand- wich. True hospitality and gour. mandism in the small hours call for wine and little else in the way of beverages, and, now that wine Is apparently once more to be the lawful heritage of civilized pco- pie, the after-treater meal may re. gain something If its vanished charm.

 federation was conceived fist in

 and threatening conflicts smothered the plan.
 The old specter of the Austro- German Ansch1uss; the question of Hungarian restoration; the Ital- ian irritation with Germany; Hitler; Dollfuss, the Mussolini conference at Riccione; and even disarmament all have figured in the confedera- ton along the Danube. Foreign Minister de Kanya's re- cent talks with French foreign

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-Off-
Gals of the state department were
confident today that Greece's re-
quest to Samuel insult to leave the
country would lead to his return to
this country to face charges of fraud
growing out of the financial col
lapse of middle western utilities
enterprises.
It was explained that Insults
passport has been cancelled, and
that he can obtain new one only
for direct travels to the United
States. 1t was pointed out further
that it would be difficult for him to
travel anywhere outside Greece
without passport.
The United States plans to seek
insults arrest wherever he goes on
charges of being a fugitive. His eX-
tradition will be sought from what
ever country he seeks refuge, either
under extradition treaties which are
maintained with virtually all coun-
tries, or through this governments
trade bargaining powers.
Observers Speculated on the posi-
bility, never officially recognized,
that trade bargaining was factor
in Greece's decision to cancel In
sulls visitors permits.

its proposed changes would yield

Treasury experts. however, estimated

In addition to the earned income
recommendation, the treasury head
criticised the proposal TO limit de-

Mr.. Morgenthau recommended re-
tention of income tax on capital
gains. But as long as capital gains
are taxed, the treasury head said,
some deductions for capital losses
must be allowed. 1t is by deduc-
tons for capital losses, particularly
on sales of stock that many wealthy
persons have escaped income taxes.

Aroused Control Board to
Call Session After
Times Expose.
QUICK REMEDY PLANNED
Liquor Heads Will Move to
Govern Cost, Grade
of Drinks.
By DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times Staff Writer

Members of the governors
liquor control commission
were aroused today by The
Times exposes of the high
price and low quality of
whisky being sold through
the legitimate trade channels.
They will meet shortly to deal
with such matters and find REM
edy for the situation.
According to Mrs. Meredith Mich
olson Jr., commission secretary, eff
fort will be made to have the meet
ing before Christmas, so that some
thing can be done to reduce prices
and increase quality of the bever-
ages for the holiday trade.
Call for the meeting will come
from the Rev. John w. Cavanaugh,
South Bend, former president of
Notre Dame university and commits
sion chairman.
Committee Head IncenSed
Father Cavanaugh is said to be
greatly incensed about the extor-
tionate charges made for unaged
whisky and blended stocks.
Alex Gordon, labor member of the
commission, pointed out that effort
was made in the temporary code
to thwart such excess profits prac-
tice.
He referred to Section 80, which
reads:
No spirituous beverages or wine
tonics shall be sold at prices in ex-
cess Of what is necessary to return
a fair and reasonable profit thereon
to such permit holder and in the
event complaint of excessive price
charging is received by the excise
director, such director shall ne
authorized to investigate the same
and to make such recommendations
to such permit holder as may be
deemed proper, and, upon the fall
ure of such permit holder to adjust
such prices to the level as recon-
mended by such excise director,
such failure shall constitute a vio-
lation of this regulation"
Both Mrs. Nicholson and Mr..
Gordon expressed the view that this
section will be both broadened and
strengthened at the coming meet
ing.
Quality to Be Governed
IT feel that the regulatory pro-
visions should cover quality as we'll
as price and believe that we shall
be able to extend the scope in that
manner very quickly" Mrs. Nichol-
son declared.
Mr. Gordon congratulated The
Times for the exposure of sales Of
synthetic liquor under whisky la
bells at excessive prices as compared
with its alcoholic base.
SO far as I'm personally con-
cerned," Mr. Gordon said, Il
wouldn't even wait until the next
meeting. I think that all dealers
who are selling such phony stuff for
whisky and at such excessive prices
should be prosecuted right now for
obtaining money under false pre-
tense"
