triangle of Government struc-
lures were taken today when
plans for the second unit Of the

Sterilization of the dollar was
hailed today as a boon to business
by members of the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers.
A symposium Of the associa-

it's belief that Stabilization of the

statement of Clinton l.. Bardo,
CSnden, N. u president of the

ton, which said:
Identification OF the Admins
tration's monetary policy has

Of safety.

''DistiIIery Trust" AssaiIed BY
Senator In Boosting
State Product
BY JOHN E. TAYLOR
Times Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. 5.-Specific
designation of the alcoholic bev-
erage control board as a State
agency, so that it can manufac.
ture liquor and escape the 50 per
gallon Federal tax, will be fought
for in the senate by Senator John
J. Wicker, jr., Of Richmond, he
said here today.
His idea is that the State can
fight the bootlegger and moon
sinner only on the basis Of price,
and it will be impossible for the
State to do more than wage
losing war against these charac-
ters If the Commonwealth Is
forced to buy liquor from the
"Distillery Trust"
Brandy Probable
Senator Wicker, therefore, will
fight to make it mandatory upon
the State to begin the manufac-
ture of liquors, undoubtedly
brandy, in the apple territory
around Winchester.
He is recognized as one of the
most able lawyers in the senate,
and his statement that Virginia
would manufacture liquor for dis
tribution within its own borders
without payment Of the Federal
tax was taken here as being al
most "the law"
AS the liquor control bill passed
the house Of delegates and went
to the senate, it contained a pro-
vision that installation Of State
distilleries was optional with the
board Of alcohol control, subject
to the governors approval. It is
this provision Of probability"
that Senator Wicker wants to
eliminate and to make mandatory.
The senate finance committee
will consider the liquor bill as it
passed the house tomorrow morn.
ing ct 10 o'clock. Committee
members hope to have the bill on
the senate floor by Thursday, and
have it ready for conference early
Friday.

To Landscape
Highways

FAIRFAX, Va, Feb. 5.-Ar-
rangements are being made by

TAX EXEMPTION
DENIED BOOKS

If your hobby is writing books
for pleasure and not profit, don't
try to deduct losses from their
publication in making out your
income tax.
The District Court of Appeals
ruled today that such losses were
not subject to tax exemption. The
decision was made in the case Of
John Armstrong Chaloner. who
petitioned the Board Of Tax Ap-
peals for losses suffered in pub
lication of books in 1924, 1925,
1926 and 1927. The decision, in
part. stated:
"The claim Of the petitioner
was diSallOwed on the ground
that the evidence was insuffi-

claimed came within the pro-
visions of the statute. The rec
