AGENTS PREPARE
TO FIGHT RULING
Former Prohibition Force
Members Engage Gen.
AnseII as Counsel.

More than TOO former prohibition
agents whose reappointment to the
alcoholic tax unit threatens to be
nullifled by a provision tor new ex-
aminations, are preparing to contest
the issue, and have engaged as coun-
sci Gen. Samuel T. AnSell
Gen. Ansell's selection was an
nounced yesterday afternoon.
An appropriation bill clause is
causing the trouble 1t bars payment
of salaries after December l, unless
the men have qualified by re-exam-
ination While it was directed only at
the erstWhile prohibition agents
Attorney General Cummings has held
that it is so broad that about 1900
other employees transferred from pro-
hibition to alcohol tax will be required
to take tests also Ansell doubts it
should apply to any employe with
competitive status.
Pointing out that the Appropria-
tions Committee had rushed through.
this provision without hearing, and
that it had been enacted under the
same circumstances, Gen. Ansell said:
Whatever the committee intended
the proviso ought not to be accepted
as an assault on the civil service,
and it need not be. II construed in
accordance with spirit which should
be ascribed to 1t and in its proper
relation to organic civil service law,
those who hold their appointments as
a result of bona fide civil service eX-
aminations should stand excepted
from the general language of the
proviso.
Such is a familiar rule of con-
struction which has been applied by
the Supreme Court in many famous
cases. To construe the proviso other
wise would be to stab the civil service
with the spoilsmans dagger, inflict
injustice on hundreds of faithful
civil service employees, and grossly
injure the public service"
Whether the issue can be gotten
into court is question. If the Treas
ury retains any worker. without ex-
animation. and the pay is held UP
by Controller General McCarl, the
way would be paved for litigation. If
this plan is not possible of execution.
Ansell plans to carry the fight into
Congress.

POTOMAC YIELDS
BODY Of SYRIAN
Philip Azar Seen to Have
'TcppIed From Highway
Bridge Saturday.

The Potomac River late yesterday
gave I'D a body bound hand and foot
end believed to be that Of Philip Azar,
SIS, who left Egypt IA years ago with
his life savings and high hopes OF
making his way in the New World.
Azar's body rose to the surface and
was discovered by harbor police near
Highway Bridge, from which a man
had been seen to plunge about 10 am
Saturday The knots which bound
wrists and ankles together could have
been tied by Azar himself.
Witnesses told police they saw Azar
scramble over the railing and topple
into the river. The body was identl-
fled by papers showing he was painter
on emergency relief rolls, living at the
Transient Bureau here.
A half-brOther of Azar'S in Char
1ottesville, Va. said AZar was a native
of Syria. who went to Egypt. He said
when AZar came to Charlottesville IA
years ago he had almost $4,000 he had
saved for a start in the New World.
Azar went to Columbus. Ohio and
opened a restaurant. which failed to
prosper He saved what he Could
from the failure and went on to
Chicago trying his hand at various
occupations. More recently he re-
turned to Charlottesville, and left
there about a week ago, saying he
was coming to Washington
The half brother was on his way
here this morning to view the body
Meanwhile. the coroner'S office
withheld a certificate of death pend
ing a report on the case from the
homicide squad.
Authorities were convinced, how
ever, that ,Azar killed himself.
A suicide tied himself up in a
similar manner and leaped inl0 the
Tidal Basin here some years 2go.

to make known his summary of this
knowledge. it will answer many ques-
tions in the minds of individuals as
we'll as business and industry.
No doubt the answers to the ques-
tionS sent by the United States Cham
Der Of Commerce regarding certain
policies dealing with business, will be
found in Mr.. Roosevelts coming radio
talk. At least there was no indication
at the Summer White House today
that any other reply was Immediately
forthcoming
The President will continue to face
many problems and difficult tasks
when he gets back to Washington.
Although truce has been declared in
the textile strike the President has
reason TO believe there is still consider
able labor unrest, and that labor prob
lens must be ironed out if they
are to be prevented from growing
more serious.
The question of the budget. now
being prepared for presentation to
Congress when it next meets. is an
other tough JOB the President has
staring him in the face The main
difficulty here is the fact that it is
known by administration heads that
everything now points to continued
demand for huge outlays of money.
Just where the brakes may be applied
and where the outflow may be checked
are things the President would like to
decide upon
So as to give him time to dispose of
routine business and sweep clean his
desk so as to get away tonight. no en-
gagements were made for the Presi-
dent today.
Pays Visit to Grange.
Mr.. Roosevelt paid visit to his fell
low members of Chapel Corners
Grange last night. remaining for an
hour to discuss agricultural conditions
and local farm problems with the
group. Arrangements for the visit
were not made until just before the
meeting and only about IS Grangers
were at the hall to greet the President
when he drove to the grounds in his
car
Chatting informally with the men,
berS, who were introduced to him as
the group gathered about the auto
mobile, the President told of drought
conditions in Iowa and the Middle
West, and questioned the farmers con-
corning local conditions, and the price
OF dairy cattle in this vicinity. He
advised DutcheSs County farmers to
grow more feed so they might care
for their own cattle in place of de-
pending upon the West for their feed
supply. Efforts are being made, he
told the Grangers, to have each sec
ton of the country raise supplies for
its own needs, to Offset the ravages
caused by the drought in the West.
The Presidents special train will
leave shortly before midnight tonight.
making it possible for him to be at
his desk in the White House early to-
morrow

Asserting there is general state
of apprehension" directors OF the
Chamber of Commerce of the United

questions asked of the Chief EXecu-
tive. There has been no response
from the Summer White House at
Hyde Park.
Feeling of UneaSineSs.
The industrialists, who recently have
issued numerous declarations that
budget balancing was necessary and
that the President should act on other
lines as well, asserted definitely that
general feeling Of uneasiness pre-
vailed among business men of the
country" Saying that business could
not supply continuous employment
without restoration of confidence, .
Inc SpoKeSmen added:
The board - representing bust
ness men throughout the United

balance the Federal budget?
2. Is 1t the intention of the ad-
mlnistration further to reduce the
value OF the dollar; if so, then to what
figure and what shall be the content
OF the dollar so reduced?
3. Will the administration at the
earliest possible moment collaborate
with the other nations in an effort to
agree upon a plan for the interna-
tlonal stabilization of exchange?
4. VIII the efforts of the admin

interference and control, and will if
discontinue its activities in competition
with private enterprise?
IS. What is the administrat ation's

IS. Is it the policy of the admins

ADVERTISING HELD
AID TOFREE PRESS
Albert D. Lasker Addresses
Boston Conference on Re-
tail Distribution.
spectal Dispatch to The Star.

| BOSTON. September 25.-Freedom
| of advertising must live if this Nation
! is to have freedom of the consumer,
of the press and Of the air, Albert D.
Lasker. former chairman Of the United
States Shipping Board, declared in an
address here today at the Boston Con-
ference on Retail Distribution.
Speaking on a National Broadcast
ing Co network from the convention
hall. Mr. Lasker expressed the belief
that not only has advertising IN
creased standards of living in the
United States, but that the growth OF
advertising has been in itself means
of increasing the freedom of the
press.
Praises United States Press.
Surely" he said, mo country In
the world can boast of press. both
local and national. such as we have in
America. The type of American news
paper and magazine that We know is
a free press. Through the multiplicity
of advertising the press in our gen.
Grafton has become increasingly inde-
pendent. For, as advertisers multiply
each individual advertiser counts for
less and less. No advertiser today can
influence the editors fundamental
policies. Any editor who might be
thus Influenced has a publication
without influence.
No more vicious calumny has ever
been put forth than the suspicion that
the press, in any major or important
way can be influenced editorially by
its advertising patrons"
Assigned the subject. advertising S
New Place in Distribution" Mr. Lasker,
now chairman of the board of Lord &,
Thomas. admitted that in his opinion
the title was an impossibility, since he
could see no new place for advertising
in distribution
Either in general principles he
said. 1t must hold its old place
changed under changing conditions,
with abuses corrected, or its place Will
be in the great nowhere.
Hits Regimentation.
That vital basic factor of all ad-
vertiSing. the free-will response on the
part of those addressed, cannot live
under the limitations of RECOMMENDATION.
The freedom of advertising must live
in order that we may have the free
dom of the consumer-and, yes, per-
chance. if I am right, the very tree
dom of the press and of the air"
On the subject of the increased
standards of living due to advertising,
Mr.. Lasker said:
Il maintain that advertising has
, stimulated production by stimulating
consumption I maintain it has done
it on so vast a scale as to bring about
a higher standard of living among the
American people than would possibly
have existed without advertising under
any system"

St Louis, Mo. (UP)-St Louis, with an entry in big-time hockey for the first time, will have one of the strongest clubs in the' Ma tional Hockey league, in the opin- ion of Redmond Quain, one of the directors of the club.
 Quain is optimistic as to future acquisitions that will bolster up the playing strength of the team. which last year played under the Ottawa, Ont, franchise. Several players on that team. Quain de- clared, rated with the best in the league.
 St Louis is truly hockey enthus- iastic. and boasting of one of the largest ice rinks in the country, with seating capacity of about 1S,000, it is expected the attend ance here next season will equal that of other cities on the circuit that have enjoyed big-time hockey for years.
 Last year St Louis was a mem Der of the American Association Hockey league, and Quain states he will attempt to give the stars of last years entry tryOuts with the big league outfit.
