LAWYER SAYS ICKES
HEARING WAS FARCE
Attorney Secretary Seeks to Dis
bar Will Fight Case in
Illinois Court.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. May 21.-Lucius j.
Malmin, an attorney. whose disbar-
ment is sought by Secretary of the
Interior Harold L. Ickes, yesterday re-
turned from Washington and said a
hearing there against him was a
"frame-up and farce"
Formal charges against Malmin will
be heard June by commissioners OF
the Illinois Supreme Court.
Ickes asked disbarment of Malmin
and another attorney, c. w. Larsen.
alleging that they tried to force him
to use his Gckes) influence to obtain
Federal appointments for them.
Malmin threatened to discredit
Ickes' management of an estate, the
Secretary has charged, in an effort to
gain an appointment. Malmin was
formerly judge in the Virgin Islands.
"The special hearing in washington
was a 'frame-up," Malmin said. mo
witnesses of any importance were
heard and it was held in Washington
merely to try to save Ickes face with
the national administration.

WAR
MAY REQUIRE YEAR
Choate Declares Illicit Ex.
ceeds Legal Trade in
Some Areas.

Copyright. 1894. by the Associated Press.
SO deep are the roots of the boot
leg racket that Joseph H. Choate, IT,.
Federal alcohol control administra-
tor, estimated today the campaign TO
eliminate it would require a year.
The back of the trade might be
broken In less than that time, but I
think it is unlikely" he said In an
interview
The only thing" he said. that
could greatly reduce production of
illegal liquor would be tremendous
wave of enforcement and a tremen-
dous wave of refusal to buy bootleg.
Proceedings have been started to In
crease enforcement and possibly the
public will be moved not to buy so
much bootleg"
Prices Steadily Dropping
Saying reports from a number Of
areas indicate sales of illicit liquor
are higher than those of the licensed
trade. Choate added that prices are
teadily dropping.
The average is somewhere between
ID and Is per cent lower than at
first" he said. There is very
marked decrease in the prices of the
cheapest whiskies made by RESPONSE
bic fellows"
His information is that stills dot all
sections of the country. The South
has the greater number and the North
the better equipment.
They are pouring out alcohol
largely 100 proof stuff, that can be
used for blending or making gin that
is either fixed up as some sort of
blended whisky, or gin," Choate said.
This is peddled from house to house,
or sold to unscrupulous dealers who re-
fill good bottles with it."
Manufacturers Fooled.
He indicated that restaurateurS have
found it easy to slip adulterated bev-
erages over on customers.
Il am told by several manufacturers
that they have run into cases where
they themselves could not tell whether
the goods were genuine or not" he
declared
Will the battle finally be won?
Here is his answer: Il should say
that in time the legal liquor industry
would win out. You see they are 60
ing to be able to develop better and
better products. If the quick-ageing
things meet public favor, then they
will do it very quickly. If they do
get ageing hurried up by the best
modern methods, it is going to make
stock available in a comparatively
short time which will meet the public
tastes.
"Of course, they cannot produce A.
year bottled in bond under four years
or so from now. In about q year.
however, they will have a lot of stuff
which will be very different from raw.

of this recommendation is not to bring
about enforcement of the codes or of
the antitrust laws, but, in the langu-
age of the supplementary report. Ito
inform the public as to the inherent
difficulties OF the present economic
order. Thus it is proposed to prove to
the public that competition cannot be

is necessary to establish industrial
production "for use and not for profit. "
The supplementary report asserts:
THE choice is between monopoly
sustained by Government
and a planned economy which de-
mands socialized ownership and
control, since only by collective
ownership can the inevitable con-
f1ict of separately owned units for
the market be eliminated in favor OF
a planned production. The
hope for the American people
lies in the planned use of Americas
resources following socialization."
Stripped of shadowy verbiage, this
means that the choice of the Ameri-
can people is between fascism and
communism, neither of which can be
espoused by any one who believes in
our democratic institutions OF self
government; nor can any public off,

the largest group OF underpaid
workers in the country, suffered
untold hardships.
The return of the additional S
per cent will mean some slight
alienation of this distress. 1t will,
in addition, be a boon to the bust
ness interests of virtually every
community.
It is important, however, that
this partial restoration of pay not
obscure in the public mind the
fact that Federal employees con-
tinue to be deprived of part of
an already meager wage, and that
they continue to suffer from nu-
merous other restrictions under
the iu-advised economy legislation.
From the very beginning, the
National Federation of Federal
employees emphasized the injustice
and inequity of the Federal wage
cut, and of the inconsistency of
that policy in view of the Gov
ernment's own endeavors to in
duce private business and indus
try to raise the level Of purchas-
ing power.

Walsh Pays Tribute
Senator David I. Walsh CD,
of Massachusetts,, who continu'
ously works in the behalf Of the
workers and who lent his support
to the pay restoration movement
also paid tribute today to The
Times for its efficient and telling
editorial campaign in this con
nection. He asserted:
''InaSmuch rs the restoration
of IS per cent salaries to Gov
eminent employees can do 50,
the Administration aim Of in
creasing the purchasing power

''ThOSe who labor i'm the

Congress has given them, and 1
believe this restoration will
prove as beneficial q move
toward increasing the morale Of
Government workers as any
step which could have been
taken.
ITO The Washington Times
considerable credit must be
given for the sound editorial
campaign it conducted through
out the long fight which was
waged while the pay restoration
question was before the Con-
gress. It clearly brought to
the attention of Members Of
Congress and others concerned
the justice involved in the pro-
pOsaI to restore . major part
Of the Government salaries. 1t
no doubt had it's effect In the
ultimate result"
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-07-16

Two of the Senators who played
principal roles in the battle in
Congress to gain restoration OF
pay to Government employees to-
day lifted their voices in praise
of the campaign waged editorially
by The Washington Times in an
effort to bring about diminution
of the amount Of the Govern
ment employees pay cut.
One was Senator Pat McCar-
ran 3D., of Nevada, who was the
hero of the anti-pay-cut forces and
whose untiring efforts to abolish
the nay cut were largely response
BILE for the ultimate benefits o.
tanned in behalf of the employees.
He said:
ITO those Of affIuence and
power an added five per cent is
scarcely noticed and means but
little in the affairs Of life, but
to the lOwIy and the humble and
to the everyday tOiler it is an
added joy and the creation Of a
new possibility for cOntentment.
IMPROVES CITIZENSHIP
"A cOntented citizenry Is the
backbone Of Government, and
the additional five per cent that
is being received today by those
who toll for their Government
will lend a new element Of JUS
tice.
I'm this struggle to bring
equity and justice to the tOilerS,
we were aided by the press Of
the country, and especially by
The Washington Times and by
its fOrceful editorials.

five per cent today may be
happy, but to know that 1 had

of The Washington Times.
This federation kept up the bat
tie. when it seemed hopeless, and
The Times, which proved an in
valuable ally, published a remark
able series of editorials and news
stories -'hich showed convincingly
the justice and craftsmanship OF
the pay restoration program.
Business Man Helped
Far-sighted business men OF
Washington recognized the de-
STABILITY of aiding in the pay re-
storation battle and they helped
enormously at a critical time. The
first S per cent restoration be-
came effective as of February /.
and it's beneficial effects in this
city have already made them
selves manifest.
I think this second restoration
will be even more appreciated
than the first: for the first re-
Gtoration merely meant that some
of the more irksome economies
necessitated by the pay cut might
be omitted, whereas the second
makes possible, in many in
stances, the enjoyment Of a
few-even if very few-luxuries,
or a real enhancement of a long
depressed standard Of living.
In other words, the first re-
storation merely overcame what
in many cases amounted to a
deficit: the second means a slight
gain in living standards.
Battle to Go On
The fight is not yet ended.
There should be q full restoration,
and more than that, a general i'm.
provement in basic salaries.
The American Federation Of
Government Employees will con.
tinue its campaign for the bet
terment of conditions in the Gov
eminent service, and it feels con-
fident that it can count upon the
assistance Of The Washington
Times in the future, as it has IN
the past.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-07-16

It was a long, tedious struggle,
lasting over two months and cauS-
ing the first decided split between
the President and Congress that
brought about enactment Of the
measure that gave the employees
some relief from the is per cent
cut with which they had been
burdened up to April of this year.
McCarran Led Fight
The Times, supported by group
Of Senators of which Senator Pat
McCarran CD, of Nevada, was
the leader, and by the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes, the National Federation
of Federal Employees, the American
Federation of Labor, the local
Board of Trade, and other civic
and business organizations IN
Washington, initiated the fight for
restoration of the Government
employees salaries and carried that
battle through to a fruitful con-
clusion.
It was on January 4 of this
year-the day after Congress con-
vened-that President Roosevelt
transmitted to the Capitol his
budget message in which he rec
commended a one-third reStora.
ton of pay and, under his pro-
posal, this small restoration was
not to be granted until July l..
Reported to the House by its
Appropriations Committee as rec
commended by the President, the
independent offices supply bill,
which carried the pay restora-
ton provision. was damned
through the House in the same
form because of gag" procedure
instituted by House leaders who
feared that if the bill was opened
to amendment the House would
increase the amount of pay res
toration.
Byrnes Seeks Revision
Passed by the House on Jan
uary 12, the measure came to
the Senate, where Senator
