known Soldier in Arlington National

CURB ON FALSE ADS'
FOR LIQUOR ASKED
Better Business Bureau
Urges Provision to Re-
woke Licenses.

Adoption of regulation providing
for revocation of liquor permits where
it is found dealers are using false or
misleading advertising was proposed
to the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today by Louis Rothschild, di-
rector of the Better Business Bureau
The suggestion was turned over to
the corporation counselS office for
opinion. The matter is expected to go
before the Commissioners soon for
action.
Rothschild charged that some re-
tail liquor dealers here are publishing
advertising stating they were able, be-
cause of an increase in business, to
obtain wholesale license" Roths-
child declared the advertising also
gave the impression that because of
such a change dealers are enabled to
sell at better prices.
The whole matter hinges on a diff
ference between District and Federal
regulations. To sell in lots greater
than five gallons at time, retailers
must buy $100 Federal tax stamp
and must use the word wholesaler"
on their places of business. District
regulations forbid dealer from en-
gaging in both retail and wholesale
business, but place no limit on the
amounts Of retail orders.
Rothschild insists that the Federal
tax system does not give a retailer
wholesale license" and that adver-
tising to that effect is false.

SCHOOL LUNCHES
TO BEGIN SEPT. a
Needy Children Will Get
Benefit of Free Meals
Without Delay.

The free-lunch program for needy
school children will be resumed Mon
day, September "a, a week ahead of
schedule, in order to give the chill
dren the benefit of the midday meals
as soon as possible, under decision
reached by relief and school officials.
1t had been planned to start the
program october /, and supplies were
ordered. The purpose was to give the
school teachers period in which TO
determine accurately what pupils
were in need of the free lunches.
The date was changed, however,
when school officials found they could
have the list of needy school children
ready early next week. Mrs. John
Boyle, jr., head of the Washington
Consumers Council, urged advance
ment of the date, contending that
since funds we're available there was
no real reason for the delay.
The matter was decided at a con-
ference yesterday between Elwood
Street, director Of public welfare;
Miss Alice Hill. director of emergency
relief; Mrs. Katherine Ansley. super
visor of the lunch program; Robert
L. Haycock. assistant superintendent
of schools, and Mrs. Boyle
The program was started last
January, when the District took over
responsibility for feeding under
nourished school children.

HIGH NEW DEALERS
ACCUSED BY c. 0.P.|
Hastings Asks Inquiry in
Cutter Leaving Post
Before Disaster.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Campaigning for the November con-
gressional elections was well under
way today with Republican assertion
that those in high command" of
the New Deal are f1outing and defy
ing the Constitution.
In bitter attack on the Roose-
welt administration, Senator Hastings
of Delaware, co-chairman of the Re-
publican Senatorial Congressional
Committee, demanded an investiga-
tion into the use of the Coast Guard
cutter Champlain to bring Mrs. Ruth
Bryan Owen, Minister to Denmark,
home from Greenland The boat was
thus taken away, he said, from its
station near New York, where the
steamer MORO Castle burned.
Beck's Stand Discussed.
Meanwhile, members of Congress
discussed the statement Of Repre-
sentative Beck, Republican, of Penn
sylvania. in which he said he was re-
tiring from Congress in January be-
cause it had largely ceased to be a
deliberative body" and that it was a
rubber stamp Beck is a recognized
authority on the Constitution and
vigorously opposed what he termed
Democratic efforts to destroy it,"
Hastings in his statement asserted
that part of the blame for the long
Moro Castle death list falls on the
head of whoever sent the Champlain
to Greenland" The investigation of
the disaster, he said, should be di-
rected into the high authority" that
ordered the vessel from its post to
Greenland to bring back the Minister
to Denmark
Hastings also bitterly attacked Rex
ford Tugwell, Undersecrtary of AgrI-
culture, saying he boarded a Elmer
incognito to avoid a process server
seeking to hale him into court to an
Swer suit brought to test the con-
stitutionality of the Tugwell- Wallace
sugar quota policy"
Hits Presidents Attitude.
"The last thing the administration
has wanted has been a fair, square
court test of some of its New Deal
legislation" he said. This incident,
also, has its seamy side, for press re-
ports from Hyde Park tell of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's hearty laughter on
learning how Prof. Tugwell success
fully eluded court summons.
Thus our Constitution and our laws
are fouted and defied by those In
high command. Tugwell escapes the
process server to enjoy junket in
Europe at Government expense, as did
Harry Hopkins of the F.. E. r. A.
earlier in the season. The brain
trusters seem hungry for new in
Spiration from the Socialist-ridden
lands across the Atlantic"
