Quart Exemption
On Liquor Duties
Is Ruled HUalid
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February 16.-The
Treasury Department order restrict
ing returning travellers to one quart of
liquor duty free is out so far as the
United States Customs Court IS con-
cerned.
The court ruled yesterday that the
s100 statutory exemption allowed each
traveller on foreign goods can not be
limited on any particular item. If an
individual wants to use up all his
exemption on liquor that, said the
court, is all right.
1t was a young woman resident OF
White Plains. Miss Marion A. SchWing,
who started the action resulting in
the courts ruling. She came home
from the Dutch West Indies last Sep
tember with four bottles of rum. two
bottles of rye whiskey and a bottle of
curacao. The rum came in free be-
cause it originated in the Virgin Is
lands. a United States possession. So
did one bottle Of rye. but the other
two bottles drew levy of s325.
Miss Schwing paid the duty and
then appealed to the Customs Court.
Now the collector of the port must
pay back her s325. 1t is likely. how
ever. the Government win appeal. In
any event. the courts decision will not
become effective for so days.

Next Week.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Roosevelt forces in the Senate
planned to devote this week end to
strenuous efforts to pacify Democratic
critics of the s4.SSO 100000 work and
relief bill, in order to get the bill
through next week, if possible.
There was considerable speculation
regarding the effect on Democratic

aimed at the measure on the Senate
floor yesterday by Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan. who
has been mentioned as 1886 Re-
publican presidential prospect. Charg-
ing it would "retard recovery" and
fail to meet the relief problem. VAN

Senator Adams, Democrat, Of Colo

O'Dunne ruled today in awarding to
two 16-year- boys 1858 ancient
gold coins they dug up from treas

of them was dated after 1858 and
some as early as 1884.

TOWNSEND MEETS
GR|NSA At HEARING
Sarcasm GreetS Californian
as He Tells Senators of
Pension Plan.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A gray -haired California doctor tried
to convince the Senate Finance Com
mittee today that 5000 monthly pen
sions for all over so was simple ex-
pedient" for meeting the Nations eco
nomic troubles, but the committee
found 1t not so simple"
Dr. F. E. Townsend, author Of the
Townsend pension plan, was subjected
to a sarcastic, sometimes humorous,
cross examination BY committee mem
bers. But he stood his ground. con-
tending his plan would probably double
the volume of business and bring an
era of plenty.
AS Townsend explained that his plan
called for each pensioner to spend his
5000 for commodities or services each
month, Chairman Harrison asked:
Would shooting craps with half Q
dozen other fellows be services?"
Agrees With Barkley.
"Oh, now" Townsend replied, some
what taken back.
But buying the dice would be a
commodity" Senator Barkley, Demo-
crat, Of Kentucky suggested.
YES" the doctor agreed.
What are you going to do with the
white collar man on a fixed salary?"
Harrison asked.
Enhance his ability to buy, by in
creasing his pay"
Harrison said that with 100000
or more aged. then plan would cost
$24 900 ,000.00 year. But a per
cent tax would raise only $4,000 0oO,-
900. leaving q deficit Of $4,000, 900 900
year.
Would Pension Gradually.
"Yes," Townsend said. "but we will
not be able to put 100000 on the
pension Immediately. 1t took two
years to get 100000 men into the
Army. We would have to examine
each citizen for his citizenship and
age, as we examined applicants for
the Army"
Would we have much trouble draft
ing people to take this pension?" Sem
ator Connally, Democrat, of Texas,
asked sarcastically.
"Oh, now," Townsend said.
''Well you were comparing 1t to
raising an army" the Texan said.
Harrison remarked that in some
counties there were 500 colored to one
white person.
Expresses Faith in Plan.
"Do you think they would work. if
they were given 5000 a month";" Har-
rison asked.
IT know he would work If you used
the same coercive methods you have
always used"
Doctor, do you believe this Is a
sound economic plan?" Barkley
asked.
II know it is" the Californian re-
piled firmly.
He contended the plan would double
or quadruple business and that mass
production has a tendency to lower
prices"
Would the plan increase the cost
Of a Ford carr" Harrison asked.
mo, it would decrease the COST"
Though there would be 2 per
cent tax on every part?" Harrison
asked.
Discusses Ford's Theory.
Townsend launched into a discus
sion Of Henry Ford's theory of mass
production and high wages, referring
to 1t as "Henrys philosophy"
What would these people buy with
5000 a month";" Senator Barkley
asked.
why bless your SOUL" the doctor
replied. "I should think any one who
had ever had that salary would know"
How would they spend it?" Barkley
asked again, pointing out that an old
couple would get $4,000 a year.
Buy a car, rebuild their home,
refurnish it, travel, buy books, get
things for their children" Townsend
replied.
