BAR WATCHES
BANKRUPTCY
TEST CASE

Progress Of the reorganization
Of the N. Auth Provision Com
pany under the provisions Of
Section 77-B of the Bankruptcy
Act will be watched with interest
by lawyers Of this city.
Not only is it the first attempt
Of an industrial concern in the
city to reorganize under the
newly enacted law, but the speed
with which the matter may pos
sibly be consummated will set an
all time record in the local court
If successful.
Leon Tobriner, one Of the best
informed lawyers in the District,
with his firm members, Byron U.
Graham, Walter Tobriner and
Selig C. Brez, will be in charge
of the litigation, which has al
ready started on its course. JUS
tice Proctor has referred the mat
ter to Bankruptcy Referee Fred
j. Eden and set August % as
the date for hearing. In case the
reorganization plan is confirmed
at the hearing, the matter will
have taken less than IS days to
put through the court.
But speed is Leon Tobriner's
long suit and he says he had that
in mind when he and his aSsoci-
ates worked out the procedure
under the new law. Moreover, the
new procedure-if it clicks-will
eliminate considerable expense in
Guiding that of a trustee or re-
ceiver.
The situation is a remarkable
one for several reasons, princi-
pally that the N. Auth Company
is not insolvent. On the contrary
it has assets worth $814,535.56,
according to the schedule, while
its liabilities are but 01,022.73.
It was the falling off of the
dollar volume-not the hot-dog
tonnage-that caused the COM
pany to find itself short of oper-
ating cash, the petition recited.
F. Regis Noel, president of the
District Bar Association, is back
at his office after another visit
to Rehoboth Beach and the John
Benneys also have returned.
The new bulletin of the bar
association will be placed in the
mails within the next few days.

A resolution was adopted last night

said, passed the street car from which
Mr.. Otterback alighted on the wrong

VOTERS HEAR NICE
ON g AUTO TAG
Address at Rockville Reply
to Ritchie on Cam
paign Issue.
BY STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.


ROCKVILLE, Nd, October a.
Harry w. Nice, Republican guberna-
torial candidate, told an audience Of
some eight hundred Montgomery
County residents last night that the
50 automobile tag which he advocates
would be made possible by the natural
increases in registrations and in rev.
enue from gas tax resulting from the
proposed reduction in the costs Of
license plates.
He declared that Gov. Albert C.
Ritchie, who had charged him with
either not knowing his subject or ad-
vocating the reduction for the ulterlor
purpose Of getting votes, could have
cut the price of tags himself through
the simple expedient of plugging the
leaks in his administration and the
elimination Of waste and extravaganza
in his State road and other govern
mental departments.
Speaking in the county seat Of g
community long regarded throughout
the State as a particular stronghold
of the Governors forces, the G. o. P.
nominee declared in an address that
featured a series of talks by several
Statewide Republican candidates
that he and his associates ARE trying
to dislodge the powerful, arrogant or
ganiZation."

LINE, ECKENER GOAL
German Zeppelin Expert to Begin
+. Discussions at Hearing
Monday.

DR.. Hugo Eckener, worlds No. !
airship man." will appear before the
Federal Aviation Commission at $50
am. Monday to discuss plans for fu-
ture airship service across the Allan
tic. He will open four days of hear
ings by the commission on the subject
Of lighter -than-air transportation.
DR.. Eckener is expected to plead for
greater cooperation by the United
States Government in the field Of air
ship activity, with a view to interna-
tional action in bridging the North
Atlantic by airship.
The German airship expert has in
dicated his European organization
and its American affiliate, the Good
year Zeppelin Corp, hope for the
eventual establishment of a trans
Atlantic airship terminal in the vicin-
ity of Washington, probably at Hybla
Valley, near Alexandria, Va.
The Federal Aviation Commission is
expected to go very thoroughly into
the question of the future of the air
ship, both from the standpoints OF
civil and military use. Its recon-
mendations probably will determine
the military fate of the airship in this
country and may go long way
toward determining the future Of COM

CANTREL REPEATS
DISPENSARY RAP
Montgomery Board Usurped Peo-
Piles Will, Says
Fusionist.
BY staff Correspondent Of The Star.

BY STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
CHEVY CHASE, Md, october 81
Accusing the Montgomery County
Liquor Control Board of overstepping
its powers in establishing the Clarks-
burg dispensary, Joseph A. Cantrel,
Fusion party candidate for the House
of Delegates, reiterated yesterday his
charges that the operation Of the dis
pensary is illegal
The reiteration was contained in a
reply to letter in which Charles Y.
Latimer, secretary of the board,
pointed out that establishment of the
dispensary was provided for under
the State liquor law and was not
illegal as claimed in Cantrels cam
paign talks. He accused the Fusion
candidate of Ignorance" of the law.
Cantrel, emphatically asserting
that he diu know the law, stated
it authorized the establishment of a
dispensary in that district only after
a referendum authorized by a petit
ton signed by 80 per cent Of the
voters had shown the area was in
favor of such a dispensary.
The petition submitted by the
voters provided only for referendum
and not dispensary, Cantrels letter
asserted.
The Fusion nominee said that 1t
was clearly a usurpation by your
! board of the will of the people" when
the board opened the liquor store at
Clarksburg without awaiting an ex-
preston of the will Of the people
there and under the guise of the color
of right or discretion lodged in them
by the legislative act"

Republicans held their State conven-
ton a month ago-was filled long be-
fore the speaking started and over

There may be a great many peo-
pie who take seriously this Republican
cry of extravaganza in State govern
ment," Smith said, "if you want to
cure waste in Government go right to
the town and county government.
There's real waste.
Let me inform the Republican

At BIGGEST RALLY
Ovation in Prince Georges
County High Spot

Inspired by the most dramatic politi-
cal demonstration ever staged in
Prince Georges County, Gov. Ritchie
last night predicted an overwhelming
victory for the Democratic party in
the coming election.
Before 1000 enthusiastic party fol-
lowers who had come to Ritchie Coli
scum at the University of Maryland

ernor described the meeting as "cS,
of the greatest of my public career
Referring to the Lighted motor
cade of nearly 1000 private cars
busses, floats and fire engines, which
he had reviewed from the campus
and to the audience with its noise
making devices, "Ritchie" hats and
club banners, the Governor declared
he was thrilled honestly and inspired
honestly"
1T gives me the assurance that
Prince Georges is leading all the
other counties in the great march
toward Democratic victory on No.

mine Eligibility.

To prevent outsiders from taking
advantage Of the mothers pension
system here, the time of residence re-
ouired for eligibility should be in
creased from the present one-year
minimum to two years, according TO
Miss Emma L. Davies, superintendent
of the Division of Home Care for De-
pendent Children of the Board OF
Public Welfare.
Such a move is needed to cut down
the number of persons who come here
from various States and become public
charges, she said in her annual report
to the board.
Many people are managing in some
way to live one year III the District
and then apply for assistance. Under
the present law they then are eligible
to receive this assistance" she said.
While applications for allowance
under the home care act decreased
somewhat in the past fiscal year, there
was very decided increase in the last
two months of the year. she said.
A total of PAT families of mothers
who lacked the support OF a husband
or father received mothers pensions
during the past fiscal year. At the
beginning of the year there were 2O6
families receiving such aid. At the
close of the year the number was 1874,
having a total of 669 children.
Expenses for the year totaled Sal, 437.

Of the Long-Harman Airline as a
result of charges it is underpaying
and overworking its pilots and is en-
gaging in unfair competition with
rival airlines on its route between
Amarillo and Brownsville, Tex, was
demanded yesterday before officials OF
the Post Office Department.
officials of the Airline Pilots Asso-
ciation and of the Bowen Airlines ap-
peared at public hearing to ask can
collation. of the Long Harman con-
tract, one of those awarded after the
wholesale cancellations of last Feb
ruary.
Representatives Of the pilots con-
tended the line is paying its pilots
less than 4 cents per mile, in viola
ton of a decision of the National
Labor Board fixing minimum OF
more than 6 cents per mile, and
that the pilots are being worked
longer hours than the minimum pre-
scribed by the Burea uof Air Com
merce and the Labor Board.
Temple Bowen, head of the rival
airline. testified the Long Harnian
organization is using its airmail con-
tract as a weapon to undercut its
rivals by lowering rates in violation
of the N. R. A. code of fair competi-
ton.
Bone Geaslin, attorney for Long
Harman, moved to quash the pro-
ceedings on the ground the allega-
tions against his line were not sus-
tanned, but the motion was denied by
Assistant Solicitor Kelley, in charge
of the hearing. Geaslin offered an
affidavit by L. H. Luckey, company
official, fatty denying accusations

PRESIDENT DENIES
HELP TO SINCLAIR
IN GOVERNORS RACE
Continued From First Page.)

he likes, was termed mistake" In
the confusion of sending form letters
to many States, it was said, a minor
employe sent this one to a Sinclair
supporter through an error.
3. Requests for administration
speakers to participate in the Sin
clair campaign have met no response.
4. Senator McAdoo of California,
Roosevelt supporter, said he would
not be able to make speeches for Sin
clair. He said he had to speak in
Arizona and Utah in support of
Democratic senatorial candidates and
would not arrive in California until
election day.
Creel Cannot Vote.
Creel. in Baltimore last night, as
serted he would vote for neither Sin
clair nor Merriam. He said:
My choice lies between epilepsy
and catalepsy. Merriam stands for
everything I have fought against for
80 years He is about as modern as
the dinoSaur age and his owners are
medieval Under the circumstances,
am a man without vote"
He said he believed his letter would
affect Sinclair's chances seriously, but
that they were still very good
Sinclair himself expressed optimism
of victory.
Creel insisted his withdrawal from
Sinclair did not result from confer
enceS with President Roosevelt and
other high Democrats. President
Roosevelt. he said, is having nothing
to do with the California fight" The
President in his press conference yes
terday also reiterated he was keeping
hands off State contests.
Mistake" Is Mystery.
The mistake" of the Farley letter
to Sinclair was surrounded by great
mystery at Democratic headquarters.
The incident carried some comic as
well as serious touches. From the
Postmaster General down, Democratic
spokesmen declined to discuss it.
1t was learned that form letters in
dorsing many Democratic candidates
had been prepared at Democratic head
quarters to go out over Farley's sig
nature, to be stamped in green ink.
AS the story was told, Californian
asked for a letter on Sinclair and a
minor employe sent one before it was
authorized.
Before that, however, it was ascer-
tanned, several copies of Sinclair
letter had been prepared and upon
instructions from Farley were to have
been destroyed. 1t was reliably re-
ported, however, that not all had been
destroyed and that when the request
came one was sent.
The recipient of the letter in Cali
fornia was reported to have gotten in
touch with Emil Hurja, executive sec
retary, who was uninformed of the de-
velopments. Hurja assumed that Far
ley had sanctioned the letter, since it
bore his green ink signature, and upon
request, said it could be made public.
Thus the comedy of errors pro-
gressed, and now the Democrats here
are remaining as quiet as possible.
Meanwhile, requests from California
and other States for Federal super
vision of the polls on election day were
turned down by Attorney General
Cummings because of lack of Federal
Jurisdiction. This was in line with
the Presidents recently stated posi-
ton that it was not Federal func-
ton to watch elections.
