DEALERS
LAUD CODE

BY International News Service
All factions of the liquor IN
dustry-distillers, brewers, I'M
porters, and distributors-united
today in lauding the selection OF
Joseph H. Choate, jr., as chair
man of the Federal alcohol con-
troll board which will direct oper'
ations of the national liquor
program.
Leaders in the industry were
assured of "a square deal" by
Choate, who had busted himself,
Immediately following his appoint
ment, with the task Of assimilat-
ing information on the procedure
to be followed in administering
the liquor program, and in CORE
lating Federal and State liquor
regulating systems.
Choate declined at this time to
outline what procedure the con-
troll board would follow. He
said:
"This is all new to me. There
is really nothing that can say
at this time"

sons which packed the courthouse
delayed the hearing. There were
booes for the Governor and cheers
for the prisoners.
Finally two of the Princess Anne
prisoners, William Thompson,
druggist, and Irving Adkins,
special police officer, leaped up on
the counsel table, waving to the
crowd to be silent. Adkins
shouted:
Listen to me. am innocent.
We are all innocent. But you
have to keep quiet so the judges
can hear this case"
Thompson, past commander of
the local American Legion Post
and one of the most popular men
in town, also appealed to the peo-
pie, and they finally quoted down.
Attorneys for the four men then
demanded their release on the
writ of habeas corpus which had
been issued earlier in the day by
Judge Duer.
BOnfireS Lighted
States Attorney John Robins
then stated that no warrants had
been issued for the arrest of the
men, that no witnesses had been
furnished him by the attorney
general, and he approved the mo-
ton to free the men.
Mr.. Robins did ask that the
grand jury be called as soon as
possible, the presumption being
that he will present the lynching
case to that body for considera-
ton and that no action will be
taken.
AS the four men left the court
house they were born aloft on the
shoulders of the crowd and
paraded through the streets where
bonfires we're lighted and wild
snake dances formed.
Much liquor was in evidence,
and there was much i1ltoxication
as the night went on and the
celebration continued.

Guilty with which nearly all who
have under their charge the

have had to contend, is the

DR.. D. L. Fox, the psychologist

He has ascertained that II the

the shells are completely softened,

ANOTHER YEAR
Of CCC, HOPE
OFPRES|DENT
Thinks Congress Should Act
to Extend Boys Jobs;
Sees Program Winning

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov. 80
0NS.).-Firm in his intention
to continue his present monetary
policies, President Roosevelt to-
day looked back over several
other important decisions made
during his stay here.
The latest two of these involve
Public Works and the Civilian
Conservation Corps.
With regard to Public Works,
it was revealed that Mr.. RooSe-
welt intends asking Congress for
whatever money he feels to be
necessary to carry out the pro-
gram planned when the So 300,-
100000 fund was made available.
Fund Nearly Gone
This is exhausted to a figure Of
$3.50, O00, 900 today, and will be all
expended or allotted by Christ
mas, the President said.
Mr.. Roosevelt hopes to con-
tinue the Conservation Corps for
another year, he revealed in IN
address to a c. c. c. camp about
three miles from the Little White
House" He told the boys assem-
bled before him there:
81 hope that Congress, when
it cOnveneS, will continue the.
Civilian Conservation Corps for
another year."
Definite indication of the PreSi-
dents intention to continue the
present money program came as
a reiteration of feeling made
plain several days ago.
Control For Liquor
One of the latest actions Of the
President here embraced the set
ting up of the control board
which will administer the dis
tillers' MIRA code under which the
liquor traffic will be regulated be-
tween the effective date Of repeal
and the formation Of a perma-
nent program. by Congress.
Joseph H. Choate. jr, New
York attorney and friend of the
President. was named chief Of this
board. Mr.. Roosevelt regards the
LIQUOR code as an experiment. It
may or may not need to be
changed later, depending on its
effectiveness.

however, would have veto
power.
Through the use Of authority
conferred on the Agricultural Ad-
iustment Administration to limit
imports, the Administration is
planning permanent quotas on a
basis of a bargain with otner
countries for a relaxation OF
trade restrictions against Ameri-
can products.
The weapon is expected to be
especially potent against France:
Germany and Italy. Both OF
these countries have raised bars
against American pro d NC S
through the quota system and
high tariffs.
It also may be used to nego-
tiate tariff advantages with can
ada, Spain, Portugal and Ger
many.
Right to Fix Codes
The marketing agreement in
the importers code, under which
the tariff bargaining plan will be
launched, gives the Government
the right to provide arbitrary
maximum quotas for nations
which did not export much liquor
to this country between 1910 and
1914.
This would enable the govern
ment to name any quota for
such new liquor producing coun-
tries as Czecho-Slovakia, Poland,
Soviet Russian and South Ameri-
can nations.

QUIET HOLIDAY
ARRANGEDFOR
ROOSEVELT
President to Spend Day With
Friends; Talks Informally
At Dinner Tonight

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov. 80
QNSO IT h a n ksgiving found
President Roosevelt rested from a
week of sunshine and recreation
today and among old friends for
an at-home program ending with
turkey dinner.
Business engagements were, for
the time being, forgotten. Friends
who have known the President
for years dropped in to the Little
White House" all through the
morning. During the afternoon
the President prepared to greet
dozens of others as he took one
of his frequent automobile rides.
Honor Guest Tonight
Tonight the President was to
be honor guest at Warm Springs
Foundation Founders dinner in
the newly dedicated building,
Georgia Hall. Mr.. Roosevelt was
to talk, informally. All of the
guests were friends and Mr.. Roose-
welt was to speak as a man among
his friends-not as the President
of the United States.
Within the Little White House"
there was to be a real family
dinner before the more formal af-
fair of the evening. Mrs. James
Roosevelt, the Presidents mother,
was already here, and the First
Lady was to arrive during the day.
There was a possibility, too, that
Franklin Roosevelt, jr., and John,
two of the Presidents sons,
would be here for the dinner.
35-POund Turkey
A 35-pound turkey presented to
the President by a 95-year-old
Georgia admirer was to grace the
Presidential table. The bird was
sent to the Little White House"
by Mrs. Eliza Many, of Goggins,
Ga.
The elderly donor Of the turkey
was a little concerned over the
fate Of her fowl. She knew that
several were sent to the President
and sent an emissary here yester-
day-a 60-year-old youngster-to
check up. The emissary called at
the White House kitchen, found
out personally that Mrs. Manry's
turkey was to go on Mr.. Roose-
velt's table today, and departed,
happy.

MAP
DISCOVERED

The discovery Of an old Turk
ish map, believed by geographers
to have been copied directly from
the lost original which was Co
lumbus' guide on the voyage
which ended in the discovery OF
America, has been announced.
The find gives geographers for
the first time, it is said, an idea
Of the appearance of the map
which charted Columbus blind
course across the Atlantic.
The Turkish chart is drawn on
a colored parchment. 1t had lain
for centuries in the seraglio at
Istanbul.
There is a reference to Column
bus in the map. Another inScrip-
ton in Arabic indicates that Piri
Refs, who made the copy, OBJ
tanned a map drawn by Columbus.
This chart came into the pos
session of a Spanish slave who
had made three voyages to Amer
lea with Columbus. Piri's uncle,
Renal Refs, eventually became
the owner of the slave, from
whom, it is believed. he obtained
possession of the priced map.

GIN S.l-Advised that a group OF

demned his utterances regarding
the San Jose lynching, Gov. James
Rolph today challenged the for
mer President for bloodshed dur
ing the veterans bonus march in

case recalls to me the shooting
which occurred near the White

march.
'Tt would have been far bet
ter had not the troops been
ordered out with resultant now

streets Of Washington. 1 have
never forgotten that tragedy.
THAT was the one uppermOst
thought in my mind when 1 re-
fused to order out the State
militia to San Jose, where citi-
zens may have been shot down
near Mr.. HOOver's home town.
There was no bIoodShed in my
action, as compared to the
situation near Mr.. HoOver'S
White House. We Jared much
better in San Jose"
Rolph emphasized:
II am not . lyncher, but a
law-abiding citizen, and I will
not permit troops to shoot down
people as was done at Washing
ton. Regardless Of Mr.. Hoover
or anyone else, I am trying my
best to wipe out kidnapping in
