KINGS PALACE
75 YEARS OLD,
CELEBRATES

washington of Is years ago,
when the civic merry-go-round
was a smaller, but no less lively
carousel, lived in "reminiscences
again last night.
The occasion was the Diamond
Jubilee birthday party Of Kings
Palace, the Districts Oldest de-
partment store. Sylvan King,
manager, outlived the romantic
history of Kings Palace for more
than 100 employees gathered at
the banquet given by the En-
ployes Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton.
Founded In 1859
Kings Palace traces its origin
back to 1859, when Henry King
and his wife, Caroline, q milliner,
opened a little shop near the
stores present location on Seventh
Street, near l. Northwest.
Here in the years to follow
came the eligible bachelor, Presi-
dent Buchanan. The then Sena-
tor jefferson Davis was a Gus
toner at Kings Palace. General,
and later President Ulysses S.
Grant, with his inevitable cigar,
got his suitingS there.
The town buzzed with the ex-
citement of John Browns raid on
Harper's Ferry, and the coming
visit Of the Prince Of Wales, who
was to become Edward VII Of
England. For Is years, Kings
Palace has enjoyed intimate con-
tact with the growth Of the Ma.
tons Capital.
Earlier in the evening. Mr..
King broadcast a plea for drastic
and immediate changes in the
downtown parking ban rule. He
said Washington merchants are
losing trade at a tremendous rate
under the parking ban.
He quoted from surveys made
by Washington civic bodies which
claimed that the parking ban
was not only unnecessary from a
traffic viewpoint, but a discrim1-
nation against private car own
ers, who cannot take their cars
into the area Of Seventh, F and
G Streets.
Workers Praised
President Harry King, son OF
the founder Of the store, accept
ed from Bernard Keating, presi-
dent Of the Employees Mutual
Benefit Association, a gift OF
flowers, and warmly praised the
hvalty of King Palace workers.
Eleven members Of the King
family were present at the gather
tng. These included, in addition
to Sylvan and Harry King, Treas
urer Philip King and his wife, Mr..
and Mrs. Mortimer King, Mrs.
Harry King, wife of the president
of the concern, Philip King, jr.,
and Mr.. and Mrs. A. King. Rob-
ert Isabel acted as POSTMASTER for
the ceremonies, which included en-
tertainment by Charles L. Os-
borne.

KEEPING UP WITH THE LATE NEWS OF CONGRESS
Helped by CWA Spending, Business
Enjoys Flying Start for New Year

The governments gigantic spend
ing program, which is expected to
take more than billion dollars
out of the treasury this month for
the first time since the war was
expected to have an important in
fuence on business generally. In
addition to providing for more pay
envelopes the heavy spending was
expected to furnish moderate IN
fationary influence on business
with a resultant boosting of price
levels.
A more seasonal gain in depart
ment store sales in December, and
a II per cent gain over the CORE
spending month of last year, has
created new orders for the manu-
featuring industry and led to expec-
tations that January will also show
gain over a year ago.
Automobile output in the week
ended Jan. amounted 70 20,3O7
units, against 30,775 a year ago and
1896 in the preceding week.
Other heavy" industries have
made better showing. The steel
industry has held most of its I'M
seasonal holiday gains. Output
this week was unchanged at 81 per
cent of capacity.
Bituminous coal output last week
also improved, amounting to 1925
900 tons, against 6,443 900 tons in
the preceding week and 6,126000
tons year ago. Electric power pro-
duction last week was 81 per cent
above year ago, against a gain of
only 8.8 per cent in the preceding
week.

i. s. LAUNCHES
NEW DRIVE FOR
CHEAP LIQUOR
Admits Canadian Flood in
Campaign to- End
BootIegging.
BY WALKER STONE
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Realiz-
ing that a substantial number OF
drinking Americans are still pa
tronizing bootleggers, the admins
tration has decided to find out
whether free competition can be
used effectively to lower prices and
improve the quality of domestic
Whistles.
Although no definite figure has
been announced by administration
spokesman. it is indicated that the
governments new policy will be pur-
sued until good, potable whisky can
be purchased by the consumer at
about 81 per quartz price believed
low enough to drive out bootleg
competition.
Steps already have been taken to
carry out the first part of the pro-
gram.
Restriction Removed
Thursdays about-face maneuver
removing all restrictions on the i'm
portation of American-type WHISTLES
was for the purpose of opening the
American market to twenty-odd mil
lion gallons of aged whisky in
Canadian warehouses. It is hoped
the influx of Canadian whisky will
influence American distillers and
rectiflers to improve the quality of
their whisky blends, and will beat
down the price of bottled bond
goods, of which the domestic supply
is less than one million gallons.
At the same time, and for a
similar purpose, the 10 per cent
limit on beverage alcohol made from
other sources than grains was re-
moved. In the last few weeks the
limited supply of grain alcohol has
been selling at exorbitant prices to
blenders. Most of the supply is in
the middle west. For the next few
weeks large quantities of molaSses
alcohol, held on the Atlantic, Pacific
and gulf coasts, will be eligible for
use for blending purposes.
Tariff Revision Possibility
A further measure in contempla-
balance between supply and demand
is downward revision of tariff
rates. The Presidents informal in
ter departmental committee on
liquor has recommended to congress
that, if the one-column policy is
continued, the rate on whisky be
reduced from SIS to SO per gallon,
and in case a tariff bargaining
policy is adopted, the range in rates
be from 81 to S..
If measures to free competition
fail, the faca is prepared to re-
assert its powers of rigid control,
fix prices arbitrarily and prescribe
strict labelling regulations.
Within the next few weeks, faca
director Choate has announced, dis
tillerS will be asked to turn in a re-
port on costs of manufacture and
prices. If these figures reveal
profiteering, he said, the faca will
determine what prices are fair.
