NEWSPAPERS OF
BIG ASSISTANCE

Atlantic City, N. j., July 10
(UP) - Newspapers and motion
pictures have been of great help in
focusing public attention on the
problems of crime detection and
law enforcement rather than on
the criminal, former Governor Carl
E. Milliken, of Maine, told the
42nd annual convention of the In
ternational Association of Police
Chiefs which continued sessions
here today.
Milliken's speech followed a
blast again "sob-sister judges"
and the parole system by ]. Edgar
Hoover, head of the depart
ment of justice bureau Of investi-
cation.
1--WE have passed a period when
the criminal held the stage" Mil
liken said. To-day, the news OF a
crime whets public expectation Of
the criminals apprehension. The
new public attitude will do much
to help the national anti-crime
crusade"

DANBURY TO HAVE
ANOTHER STRIKE

Danbury, July 10-UP)-A new
strike developed in the hat industry

LAURA Clears Up
Ruling On Taverns
Sunday Closing Not Effective Until Old Permit Expires;
Display Cards for Taverns Must Be Standard Size

"Taverns do not nave to close on
Sundays until the expiration of
their present permit" Lewis s.
LAURA stated today. There has
been a lot of confusion among the
men in the trade and it was noticed
this past Sunday that fully a dozen
taverns remained closed. Attorney
General Edward J. DAILY ruled some
time ago that as long as a permit
tee is operating under an old per-
NIT he will be guided by the rules
and regulations of the old law.
The sale of beer at the bar will
not be deemed illegal until the ex-
piration of the present permit.
Another confusing clause in the
pamphlet of General Provisions is
sued by the Liquor Control Com
mission is in Section 8 which reads
GAIL permittees will be required
under the terms of the Liquor Con-
troll Act and the regulations of the
Liquor Control Commission to be
on the permit premises substan-
TALLY all of the hours during which
the law permits the sale of alco-
holic liquors" The license immedi-
ately assumed that substantially
means all the time but the inter-
probation of Edward Peters, Secre-
tary of the State Liquor Commits
sion, given by phone to our Office
is Substantially all of the hours
means the more important part of
the time. With this Interpretation
it seems reasonable that of the Is
hours daily that the sale Of liquor
is legally permitted an average of
8 hours is sufficient for the per-
mittee to remain on the premises"
Immediately upon the granting
of a tavern permit or restaurant
beer permit it will be necessary to
have placed on each wall OF the
premises signs which shall read as
follows: 1.-THE drinking of alcoholic
liquors other than beer is not al
lowed. Section II, Chapter 292,

cards shall be printed for the tav-

HARMON VALLEY
WILL APPEAR IN
DEFENSE OF WIFE
Habeas Corpus to Take
Him From Prison to
Court Room

Tacoma, Wash. July 10-(UP)-
Harmon Valley, the small town
bad boy who bungled his first ma
jor crime, was called from Nc
Neil Island federal penitentiary
today to aid his wife's fight against
conviction in the kidnapping Of
George Hunt Weyerhaeuser. A
writ of habeas corpus commanded
Valleys presence in the court room
where Margaret Valley, 70, is on
trial charged with conspiracy to
violate the Lindebergh law and
with using the mails to extort. The
writ led the trial toward one of
its most dramatic moments, the
reunion between the young Utah
girl and the small time crook she
married against her parents wishes
TONS major crimes.
Expect Her To Break
Court attendants expect Mrs.
Valley to break down when her
husband is led into the court to
testify in her defense. Since the
court ordeal began last Friday, she
has been alternatively nervous and
fearful. The sight of her husband,
the first since he was led away
three weeks ago to begin As
year prison term, is expected to I'M
nerve her completely. Valley will
be the defense star witness.
Through him John F. Dor, chief
defense counsel, expects to break
down the story the government is
building up carefully in seeking to
prove Mrs. Valley not onl yknew of
the kidnapping at the time George
was stolen from Tacoma street
last May, but also was present
when John Philip Weyerhaeuser,
the father, paid the 100000 ran
som for his sons release.
Prosecution Scored
The prosecution already has
scored heavily through the infor-
nation of two confessions purport-
eddy made by the blonde gum
chewing defendant shortly after
her arrest in Salt Lake City, while
trying to cash the ransom money.
In the confessions she admitted
having helped transport George
into Idaho and also having aided
collecting the ransom.
