Illicit DistiIIers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury, an official source said
today, is concentrating on Illicit dis
ti.lers' materials, such as sugar and
molaSses, in its drive to wipe out the
moonshiner and liquor racketeer
This disclosure was made as COM
pleted reports showed 1921 stills we're
seized in the March IA, IS ano IS
raids which rounded up hundreds Of
persons accused of tax law violations
and other offenses.
A special Iorce in each internal
revenue district has been put to work

sugar, molasses, corn, sugar and other
materials 70 see whether theV are
going into legal or illegal channels.
Moonshiners Curbed.
Because Of these materials detec-
tives," Treasury officials said, mountain
moonshiners virtually have been cut
off from former sources of supplies
and have been forced to turn TO
cross roads grocery stores to get or
dinary table sugar, which does not
lend itself to Easy fermentation
They added that the alcohol tax
units campaign is being extended to
these stores, requiring them to report
large sales of sugar.
In tracing sugar and molasses ship
ments, the Treasury is operating under
a resolution passed by the last Con-
gress at the request of Secretary Nor
genthau. This requires all importers.
manufacturers, wholesalers, jobberS or
other handlers of these commodities
to report TO whom the material was
sold, whether the shipment was made
by truck or by train, the route taken
and other information.
Confectionery Firms Watched.
If an unusually large amount Of
sugar is bought by a confectionery
firm, for instance, the Federal agents
investigate to see whether the candy

some illegal dlstiller. Many such cases
have been uncovered officials said.
The largest number of stills we're
seized in the South. the Atlanta and
New ORLEANS districts accounting for
more than 600 of the 1921 taxen in

R00SEVELT'S SON
ACCUSED IN HOUSE
Emergency AirmaiI Bill Sent
to Senate After Viva
V0Ce Vote.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The emergency airmail bill, intended
to keep a number of the air transport
companies out of bankruptcy, was sent
to the Senate today following its pas
sage yesterday afternoon by the House
in a session enlivened by charge that
Elliott Roosevelt. son of the President,
was lobbyist" for aviation concerns.
The measure, which would permit
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to increase rates of airmail pay, was
passed by viva voce vote, which was
so nearly unanimous that no count of
votes was made.
Objecting to the measure, Repre-
sentative Mas, Republican, of Min
neSota said the Aeronautical Chamber
of Commerce was behind the bill"
and that he understood that young
Roosevelt was contact man" in Wash
ington for the organization.
At headquarters of the chamber, FL
lott Roosevelt was described as a con-
Sultant for the organization. He has
been interested in aviation for num-
ber of years.
Representative Culkin, Republican,
of New York said the Presidents son
was "a new figure in the set-up."
Il am wondering" he remarked, "if
his personality and his family connec-
tions have any relation to the peni-
tential attitude of Postmaster General
Farley and the committee on the
other side"

pink SLIP" ISSUE
LEFT TO SENATE
Garner Will Decline to Rule
on Question of Adding
Tax to Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Vice President Garner expected to
put up to the Senate today the ques-
tion whether it has right to add new
taxes to the bill repeating the pink
slip" publicity requirement on income
taxes.
The repeal measure, which passed
the House March IL by 302 10 90, was
due for floor consideration in the
Senate.
Senators La Toilette. Progressive, Of
Wisconsin and Couzens, Republicans,
of Michigan. opponents Of eliminating
the pink slip" which records certain
tax information for public view. had
tentative plans to offer amendments
increasing income, surtax and cor
poration levies.
However, q constitutional question
has arisen as to whether the Senate
could place new taxes in the bill.
Definite Ruling Avoided.
Under the Constitution. the House
must originate all legislation to raise
revenue. Some Senate parliamentary
ans contended the pink slip" bill,
while not providing any taxes. Is an
amendment to the present revenue
act which did. and therefore the Sen
ate could add taxes to it.
Others felt differently and because
Of the inevitable House protests they
expected to raise a point Of order. The
Vice President, in view of the consti-
tutional question. planned to leave 1t
to the Senate without definitely ruling
on any point of order.
Although the outcome of the pink
slip" repeal drive was in doubt. Demo-
cratic leaders favored deciding this
issue separately and letting new taxes,
If necessary, be placed in another bill
later in the session.
Couzens May Delay Move.
Senator Couzens, who has an amend
ment for an excess-profits tax ranging
from S to 40 per cent on the adjusted
declared value Of corporation capital
stock, was not certain today he would
offer it. He may decide to postpone
1t until a general tax measure is in
troduced.
OclldUOl Aa TOicttC Aioo sSAtoA'SAy
proposed two amendments, one Of
which increases the normal income
from 4 to per cent and surtaxes
from the present range Of l to So to 6

The other would provide for pub
licity of the entire income tax return.

Evening star., 1935-03-26

The private Republican reaction
here to the new Hoover reorganiza-
ton program certainly was not en-
couraging to Mr.. Hoover. A few here
praised it family. but most Repub-
licans in Congress just remained
wearily silent.
1t is increasingly apparent that,
il Hoover is going to assume the
leadership OF the party, he U,lI
hare to do it uithout much help
from Washington
There has been more inside talk
lately among them about letting Mr..
Hoover have the next Republican
presidential nomination. but not in
any encouraging way. Most of them
do not yet know what they want
to do.
Sensitive on Imports.
The only Hoover dig which pene-
trated the skins of the New Dealers
deeply was the one about foreign farm
products pouring in while the A. A. A.
Is holding down domestic production
The situation behind that is.
FoTetgn farm importations hare
oeen running about t,Dice as large
as last year. The March figures to
De published soon wiH sho,p t,po
and one-halt to three times as
much as March last year.
If you dig into the last official
figures you will find that the quantity
OF farm imports in February last year
was about 100000 units and this
year 100000. The value iumped
from 100000 to $4,000, 900. How
ever, value is not a good barometer,
because prices are much higher.
The New Dealers contend these i'm
portauons are mere seepage. and the
ultimate question to be settled by de-
bate between them and Mr.. Hoover is
how many drips make a pouring.
To afford an idea of which farm
imports are increasing and how much,
the following official round figures for
February may be cited, showing in
creases over the same month of the
previous year:
Butter, 100000 pounds, or S times
as much as in February, 1884; live
cattle, $4,000 head, 6 times as much;
pork, 10000 pounds, or "a times as
much; canned meats, 100000 pounds,
3 times as much; corn, 1900 900
bushels, or 12l times as much: wheat,
100000 bushels, 28 times as much.
The trick in the Hoover statement
was in its wording. His exact words
we're: Because of food destruction
and restraint on farm production
F4, l. ;v,f~
purchase Of which should have been
made from our farmers"
No one can deny the food was de-
stroyed. Mr.. Hoover's implication was
that the New Dealers are responsible
The New Dealers say it was the
drought.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Hull Used Sly Method
of Assailing Hitler
on Rearming.
BY PAUL MALLON.

~ ECRETARY' HULL wrote a for
y NAL rebuke to Herr Hitler
few days back, but you never
~ will see it. He composed 1t
in the form of an Official note,
but decided not to send 1t.
The note expressed regret at
Hitler's latest pioldtion OF the
sanctity OF treaties, especially the
separate American treaty OF peace,
Which included the military clauses
OF the Versailles pact.
The story being told on the inside
is that President Roosevelt ordered 1t
held up. He did not want to make
any move which would embroil him in
the latest European fuss. Mr.. Hull's
associates fondled the idea of sending
it later, after things Calmed down.
But when Der Fuehrer tore up simi-
lar protests from the French and
Italians, they decided to save him the
trouble of tearing up this one.
Hull Sly With Hitler.
A better way Of communicating Mr.
Hull's evaporation to Herr Hitler was
worked out slyly. The State Secre-
tary decided to express himself off,
the-record at one of his press confer
enceS. These conferences are attended
by all foreign press representatives
who want to attend. No doubt Hitler
now has a transcript of Hulls re-
marks. although they cannot be re-
peated out loud.
All that can be said is that Mr..
HuHs manner tDdS extremely diplo-
matte, painfully So The only thing
he permitted the neUSmen to pub
lish about it tDdS that this Govern
ment considered Hitler's action as
threat to the entire peace Struc-
ture OF the tCorld. That, OF course,
is the mildeSt possible persion.
The diplomats thought that this
-the-record sound-off was rather
neat. 1t avoided diplomatic embroil-
ments. 1t prevented Hitler from
snubbing Hull as he did the French
and Italians.
