BLENDED WHISKY
- SUPPLY FORECAST
Or. Doran Says Midspring to
See Ample Stocks and
Price Drop.
ny the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
An ample supply Of good blended
whisky by Midspring, together with q
downward trend in liquor prices, Ii
forecast by DR. James M. Doran, super
visor of the Distillers' Code Authority.
DR.. Doran, one-time Federal director
bf prohibition, says legitimate dlstlilers
realize their economic salvation lies In
ilickng the bootlegger" in price and
nuality, and consequently they are en-
deavoring to provide the public WIN
s'good" LIQUOR at reasonable prices
Meanwhile, he expects the Federal
Alcohol Control Administration shortly
TO approve the formal posting OF prices
by the Code Authority, step designed
10 curb gouging by liquor retailers In
various communities.
Combats Adulteration.
As a means of combating the adul-
teration of liquors, which has been the
source of widespread complaint by con-
sumers, Dr. Doran advocates the plac-
ing Of Government rectifying stamps on
the necks of bottles of liquors BLENDED
in licensed rectifying plants, thus max
ing the counterfeiting OF these stamps
q criminal offense.
Pointing out that the illegal industry
still is powerful, the former prohibition
director said big Syndicates operating In
several large cities are putting clever
limitation brands and fake labels OF do
mestic manufacturers in every liquor
market.
Protection of the consumer from De
Ing "victimized" by the retailer who
sells bad liquor or charges exorbitant
prices apparently is a matter OF State
regulation. Joseph H. Choate, jr., dl-
rector of F. A. C. A., points out that
1t is up to each State or community TO
police its retail sales and that the Fed
eral Government should not contravene
the principles of the Constitution by
interfering in that work.
Choate explains. moreover. that the
Federal Government could not effectlve-
Iy regulate retail sales without employ
ing an army of inspectors and incur
ring expenses which conceivably would
exceed the entire revenue from liquor.
Tariff Cut Advised.
Meanwhile, DR.. Doran is urging var1-
GUS States and communities to defer
"iII-considered" attempts to require
various complex labels pending action
by F. A. c. A. on the question OF label
ing. He contends that If distillers are
compelled to provide various and con-
fuSlng labels Tor multiplicity OF COLL
munities where their products are sold
it will tend to increase liquor prices
and to retard activities looking to plac-
ing large stock of pure blended whisky
on the market as rapidly as possible.
In order to meet the current shortage
in whisky supplies, DR.. Doran has ad-
yocated reduction of the tariff on for
eign LIQUORS He says domestic distillers
favor an increase in the import quotas
pending the development Of larger sup
plies of home manufacture. A large
proportion of the import supplies does
not compete with American products,
he explains.

HULL MAY EXTEND
TOUR OF GOOD WILL
Secretary Rumored to Be Contem-
plating Visit to Mexico and
Central America.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Diplomatic circles here yesterday were
interested in rumorS that Secretary Of
State Hull may make his Latin-Ameri-
can tour complete by continuing north
from Panama through the Central
American Republics and Mexico, en-
route to the United States.
While there was no confirmation Of
the rumor at the State Department, it
was believed in diplomatic quarters the
Secretary might be prevailed on to thus
extend his tour.
Two choices of routes would be avail
able to Mr.. Hull should he decide to
make the trip. He could reverse the
route recently followed by President
Arias of Panama and visit the republics
by airplane, or he could continue up
the Pacific Coast, with stopovers, to
Acapulco, Mexico, thence to Mexico
City and then return to the United
States through Vera Cruz or Laredo.
The trip, particularly If made by air,
would not delay the Secretary's return
to Washington, and it was felt here
would more than repay the effort, in
asmuch as no American Secretary Of
State or other high American official
has visited the United States closest
Latin-American neighbors in many
years.

ASK IMPROVEMENT
WA. WORKERS.
FoxhaII Village Citizens Seek
Betterment of Foundry
Branch Park.

improvements in the Foundry Branch
Park by Civil Works Administration
labor will be requested by the Foxhall
Village Citizens Association, following
suggestions made at its meeting last
night in st. Patrick's Chapel Parish
Hall.
Phillip Groggins, one of the members,
cited the condition of the transverse
path through the new park area be-
tween Foxhall Village and wesley
Heights, and asked that the associa-
ton undertake to have 1t recondltloned.
should preserve the present rustic ma
ture of the valley park and in no wise
should contemplate artificial improve
ments."
William Bruckart, another member,
asked that similar steps be taken to
correct the present high embankment
on the east side of Forty-fourth street
between Greenwich parkway and Q
street. This bank the result OF a
steam shovel cut for the Forty-fourth
street right -of-way, is so steep at the
present time. and so unimproved, Mr..
Bruckart explained, that children who
play on the bank itself or at It's base
are menaced constantly by the danger
of dislodged boulders. He cited as a
nuisance the frequent washing of a
mud and sand deposit onto the Forty
fourth street paving during rains.
At the suggestion of Frank Hall, the
Executive Committee of the association
will undertake a study Of the bus serv-
ice now provided for the residents OF
that community. Asserting that during
the "rush-hours,' the village buses
operate only on Commute schedule,
Mr.. Hall said the buSses are so crowded
they are not only uncomfortable but
are q traffic menace. He cited spe-
cific occasion recently when he and an
other member of the association count
ed AZ passengers jammed into a bus
which carried a framed card naming
the capacity as Is.

by the end Of this week 1t would still
be approximately O month before legal
sale could be provided. The Commis-
sioners could appoint the board within
a day Of two. but the bill requires two
weeks notice published in newspapers
and posted on the buildings before
licenses are acted on. It also would
take some time to give legal notice Of
the Commissioners regulations and to
get the board and its stan organized
to receive applications.
Another factor bearing on the date
that legalized sale could start Is the
necessity Of obtaining from Congress q
deficiency appropriation to cover SAL
aries and other incidental expenses in
setting up the control board. While
there probably would be no difficulty in
obtaining the appropriation. it may
effect the date when sales can be
started.
Backers Show Strength.
Although Representative Smith.
Democrat Of Virginia, and those who
aided him In fighting for Government
dispensary plan in the House were de-
feated, they developed on the two test
votes an unexpected strength for this
several of the States and is now being
considered in Virginia.
Smiths first move to offer his dis
pensary bill as a substitute came as
soon as the reading Of the private
license bill began. A point of order by
Representative Black. Democrat. OF
New York, contending the substitute
not germane, was sustained by the
chair. Black successfully contended the
substitute offered an entirely different
method from the pending bill, which,
under House procedure, made 1t out
Of order.
Smith then moved to strike out the
enacting clause, which would have
cleared the way for him to oner his
substitute without possibility Of q
point Of order. On a standing vote;
Smith lost, II to 81. He then demanded
teller vote, and as supporters Of the
Virginia member filed up the aisle to be
counted, 1t seemed for q time that he
might carry his motion. Supporters
of the committee bill, however, rallied
and the result of the teller vote was
118 to 81 against the Smith motion.
Final Effort Defeated.
A final effort to defeat the Commis-
sioners' bill was made by Representa-
tive Patman, Democrat, OF Texas, who
moved, Just before passage OF the bill,
to send it back to committee. The
motion was rejected. 80 to 48.
The tight against the Commissioners
bill was led by Representative Blanton,
Democrat of Texas, long q militant
dry. He was supported by Patman and
Representative Stalker Of New York,
ranking Republican on the District
Committee. Stalker wanted the bill
recommitted and reported out with the
dispensary plan.
Mrs Norton, in guiding the bill
through the House. had the support Of
Representatives Black, Dirksen Of Illi-
nois, Palmisano of Maryland, Harlan Of
Ohio and Weideman. Representative
Burnham of California sponsored the
amendment for the lowered tax sched-
ule on wines.
