Rankin sought to bolster his charge
of wire tapping by asserting to re-
porters that they tapped mine for
several days

and the telephone company declared
they did not know where these con-

While the House prepared for open

NEW LIQUOR BILL
H|TSF.A.CA. PLAN
House Ways and Means
Group FavorS One
Administrator.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A confidential draft of a new Fed
eral liquor regulation bill, tentatively
agreed upon by House Ways and
Means Committee Democrats, yester-
day rejected the administrations pro-
posal for a separate agency to succeed
the Federal Alcohol Control Admins
tration.
The new setup would be in the
Treasury Department and called the
Federal Alcohol Administration. AS
now drafted, the bill provides for one
administrator When the committee
meets tomorrow to decide upon re-
porting it to the House, compromise
from F. A. c. A. officials to create a
board of three in the Treasury will be
considered.
Representative Fuller, Democrat, of
Arkansas. said the compromise pro-
posal would be considered, but that
the committee would insist that actions
OF the administration would have to
be passed upon by the Secretary of the
! Treasury whether there were one or
| three administrators.
Bulk Sales Still Unsettled.
The issue between the Treasury,
F. A. C. A. officials and the Ways and
Means Committee over bulk sales of
| liquor in barrels and kegs has not
been settled definitely. However. the
draft of the bill provides that bulk
sales could be made to distillers ana
| rectifiers and to wholesalers who clas-
Sified as rectifiers.
This, a committee member said
| yesterday, would meet the Treasury S
objection that it would cost more to
collect revenue from wholesale bot
tiers. The matter of selling whisky in
| bulk to retailers has yet to be deter
mined. The Treasury wants all liquor
! sold in bottles. Committee members
charged this created a monopoly for
/ the bottling industry, hurt the CO.
| operative industry, and thereby caused
increased liquor prices.
In a confidential print of another
| bill proposed by the Treasury provid-
ing rules and regulations for collect
| ing revenue on liquor, the committee
struck out provision declaring in
toxcating all liquor containing over
p of l per cent alcohol. Two years
ago the committee. in approving the
Cullen beer act, declared that 4 per
cent alcohol by volume in beverages
was Notwithstanding.
Tax Held for Revenue Only.
The committee contends that it is
not taxing Intoxicating liquor but
beer, ale, wine, whisky, brandy, et
cetera, for revenue, regardless of the
quantity of alcohol they contain.
This matter was referred to thc
House Judiciary Committee, which
ruled in a bill guaranteeing Federal
protection to dry States under tbs
twenty-first amendment that bever-
ages containing alcohol 80 per cent
by weight or per cent by volume was
Notwithstanding.

BROWN LAUNCHES
SHAKE-UP MOVE
BY POLICE SURVEY
Captains Called for Confer.
enCe as Result of In
creased FeIonieS.
GETS JUMP ON HAZEN,
WHO PLANNED PARLEY
Superintendent to Fix Response
bility in Close Study of Situa-
tion-Merit to Count.

Drastic shake-up in the Police De-
partment personnel, to include both
uniformed officers and plain clothes
operatives. is planned by Supt. Ernest
w. Brown TO remedy any inefhciency
that may be disclosed in survey he
ordered made promptly by precinct
commanders yesterday
This loomed on the horizon of the
department situation last night after
Mai. Brown unexpectedly called the
captains before him and in terse terms
told them he would hold them per-
sonally responsible for what goes on in
their districts
An increase in the number OF felony
cases was listed as cause for the order
for a careful checkup on the efficiency
of the force. Sharp criticism was
voiced by Maj. Brown against mis-
placed, misfit and inefficient men as
he called for the survey reports to give
a more detailed check.
No Buck Passing"
Maj Brown Jumped the gum on
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen, who
had Just announced he would convene
the captains in extraordinary session
soon to lay down the law there was TO
be no buck passing as to their re-
SponSibility. Hazen'S declaration was
the first fruits of the recommendations
of the special committee of District
officials named by the Commissioners
to digest the report of the House Crime
Investigating Committee.
One of the recommendations OF this
group headed by Corporation Counsel
Prettyman, was that precinct COM
manders were too prone to let other
police units worry about solution OF
problems after the commanders had
reported cases to headquarters.
The Prettyman body declared the
inability of a precinct commander to
show proper force and leadership and
responsibility to control situations in
his own precinct should merit de-
motion.
Mai Brown insisted his move had
no connection with the Commission
ers' Crime Committee. that it had
been planned before he knew Of the
findings on the Prettyman Committee
report.
Al the same time. however. his
declaration showed definite determi-
nation to make more aggressive and
responsible the work of the men in
the various precincts.
Mai Brown called on his captains
to investigate and report on the eff
cheney of the entire personnel of the
department. There was nothing mild
about his warning of what was to
come II the general survey showed a
lack of efficiency.
Merit to Be Rewarded.
The prospective shake-up would be
accomplished by promotion of the
men of best showings, demotions OF
those who show lack of proper spirit,
aggressiveness and general efficiency.
and also by transfers of men from
one assignment to another.
A rise in the numter of iclonies
committed in the District as shown in
the June report was given py Mai.
Brown as his reason Tor ordering the
survey. He said ne also wanted to
impress upon precincs commanders
their responsibility for handling traf-
fic in their respective precincts, aside
from work of the Traffic Bureau

Court Justice Raymond D. Aldrich'S
decision that a husbands infldelities,
carried on discreetly and quietly, did
not warrant a legal separation on

day as applying only to the wife's
charge of mental cruelty
Justice Aldrich granted a separa-
tion to Mrs. Eta S. Miller at White
Plains, N. Y, yesterday, holding that
she was deserted by Robert McWil-

against the wife's contention that
she also was entitled to the decree
because of her husbands affair with
Mile Marguerite Jeanneret, pretty
French maid in the Miller household.
The infidelity was brought into
the case to show there had been
