ALCOHOL BILL
MAY WAIT
ON TAX
International News Service

INTERNATIONAL NeWB SeEVlco
The Senate was scheduled to
begin consideration of the alcohol
control bill today, with every in
dication it may be temporarily
laid aside for the tax bill.
Although the measure was made
the Senate's unfinished business,
Administration leaders indicated
If prolonged debate develops they
will move to take up the tax bill
and come back to the alcohol bill
later.
Permanent Control
The measure, which would set
up q permanent Federal control
over the alcohol industry, contains
several controversial amendments
Chief among these is an amend
ment prohibiting bulk distribution
and sale of hard liquors in whole
sale and retail establishments.
Members of the Senate Finance
Committee held that if this pro
vision were not eliminated 1t would
permit sale of bootleg whisky un'
der the label of well-known brands
Senator George CD Of Georgia
chairman of the subcommittee
estimated it would cost the Treas
ury 100000 year adequately
to police the wholesale and retail
outlets if this provision were
allowed to remain.
Put Under Treasury
The House bill also placed the
control unit under the Treasury
while the Finance Committee
made the, unit an independent
agency-the Federal Alcohol Com
mission. It would be composed
of three members, appointed BY
the President and subject tt
Senate confirmation. Their sal
aries are to be $4,000 year.
The bill retains the House pro
vision aholishing the Federal Alec
hoI Administration, wiped ou'
when the NRA was held unconsti
tutional.

ILOiIltIltS, III Splte OI IlcdI Ol dill
August day in Bruges when l stood in
the basement room of house belonging
to Belgian friend of mine in that beautiful
old city. The war was two years behind us.
But here in this room there were things lying
about which made my heart give lrch. and
for moment had sense of suffocation.
1t was a chamber of horrors and was filled
with the ghosts of British seamen - simple,
heroic men whose epic story in the war has
never truly been told = and crowded with
phantom ships which had lodged the mine
fields and crept through the fogs of the North
Sea to bring food to England. and then had
been sunk without trace - SbnrlOS persunken
= by orders of Won Tirpitz, obeyed by the
officers and crews of German submarines who
knew that sooner or later, this week or next.
they would be hunted to death by British
destroyers dropping high explosive charges
along their track.
THE German submarine officers used this
as their mess, said my Belgian friend. my
wife and daughter had a room at the top of
the house - was exiled in England = but
they could hear the orgies going on down
here, the laughter and songs 1t was how my
daughter met Lieutenant Won Rothwasser."
He gave deep sigh. then shrugged his
shoulders. We'll. the wars over now. E.
There are things stronger than hate"
| hardly listened to him. My eyes were
rowing round that room in which he had left
the relics of its occupation in time of war.
There were the life belts of many British
ships, and Tread their names and remembered
some of them. The Hampshire, the Nancy
Lee of Folkestone the Princess Patricia of
Liverpool. There was the windlass of a mer-
chant ship, and the compass of one of the
Cunard boats. Many other relics OF British
ships torpedoed by the enemys submarines
were hung as trophies on the walls of this
basement room, and the walls themselves
had been painted with scenes of sinking ships,
and caricatres of naval commanders.
Those we're painted by Lieutenant Roth
wasser," said my friend. "He was an artist
before the war. | little thought that one
day -" He gave another deep sigh that was
almost a groan, and then laughed uneasily
ITS impossible to understand women Even
ones own daughter is always mystery"
My friends daughter, Elise de Warlerl-
court, has told me her own story, and it
does not seem to me mysterious. though per-
haps understand her better than her father
because am less affected by national ami
mostly or more forgetful of painful history,
which he cannot forget or forgive. Certainly,
as she told me what happened to her during
the war, was thrilled by its drama and by
the frightfu risks she took.
She was schoolgirl at the convent of
St. Pierre in Bruges when the war began,
and eighteen in 1917 when the German sub
marine warfare was intensified in the last
hope of starving England into submission
before German man power was exhausted.
With her blue eyes and faxen hair "a
Flemish type - no one mot even her mother
would have suspected that she was an active

member of secret society of Belgian women
who were conducting an Underground cor
respondence" with the Allies - England and
France - somewhat similar to that organiza-
tion which led Nurse Cabell to her death.
She looked just pretty girl without guile
or any ideas more serious than those she might
find in her prayer books. The German sub
marine officers who passed her on the stairs
saluted gallantly and tried to draw her into
conversation. To them condemned to
death, so many of them, in a perilous service
this girl symbolized life, beauty and love.
The swish of her frock, the turn of her head,
the whiteness of her neck above little lace
collar, her blue eyes and faxen hair - Ger
man as well as Flemish in type gave them
moments forgetfulness of the abomnable
life they led, crowded like sardines in SUBJ
merged boat, with death-charges searching
for them.
She is little sorry for them, she says
now, yet then she hated them also, as all
Belgians did - except perhaps some of the
Flemsh-speaking folk - because of the occu-
patton of their country. But as schoolgirl.
she had no idea of any part that she could
play in this world tragedy. until one day she
had mysterious conversation with one of
the nuns at her convent school,
She was an English nun, called Madame
Claire in religious life, though Elise, who was
devoted to her, knew that she had once been
known as Margaret Westmacott, and be-
longed to one of the good old families in
England.
Elise was surprised and delighted one day
in 1917 when Madame Claire invited her into
the parlor to have a little chat. Between
ourselves" said Madame Claire, with her
delightful smile.
The conversation was strange. Madame
Claire began to talk about the war, which
was subject generally avoided by the nuns,
three of whom we're German. She said that
two of her brothers had been killed, and she
almost wept for moment when she said that
Cecil, the last to be killed. had been her
favorite brother. Then she spoke about the
tragedy of Belgium, and the awful fate that
would befal England and France if the Ger
mans were to win the final victory.
"Oh, but Madame Clairev cried Elise.
"They will never win!'
Madame Claire spoke gravely. They're
still very strong, my dear child. Their SUBJ
marine warfare is becoming dangerous. They
are destroying so many British ships. If
England is starved -"
She broke off her sentence, and looked
intently at Elise as though judging her char
acter. you are no longer child, my dear
Elise" she said. "At eighteen years of age
one becomes a woman, with woman's duties
and need of courage and service. Is it not sol"
"Oh, Madame Clairer exclaimed Elise,
f1ustered by this question. rs there any
service can dor"
Madame Claire did not reply directly. She
seemed to change the subject of conversation.
1.-The German submarine officers have their
mess or CLUB at your parent s house,
have they not?"
YES" said Elise. 1T is great nuisance.

DEER INCREASE REVEALED IN
 CORDOvA AREA
.Rh o de Estimates ,OOO Animals Now in District
 -l76-Pounder Shot

The 11-day deer permit hunting season in the Cordova district this season was a success in many ways though due to indictment weather many hunters were unable to go out. it is reported by Game War den Clarence Rhode of the Alaska
 lame Commission, who arrived in Juneau last night aboard the game vessel Seal from Cordova.
 Rhode said 146 permits were is- sued to Cordova district residents but only B deer were checked in. It was necessary for the hunter to bring in the entire carcass, includ- ng the head. under provisions of the permit system, put into effect there for the first time this season.
 Everything ran to thirteens in connection with the season, the Game Warden commented. He left here on Friday, the l3th of Sep tember, l3 hunters brought in l3 deer. The biggest animal killed weighed 176 pounds, considered very large Sitka deer.
 Rhode reported fine cooperation from residents of the district and no violations of any sort came up. Reports of hunters indicated there were many deer in some sections and on the islands. One hunter aid he saw 53 and another with | deer caller sighted 32. It is es- timated by Warden Rhode that there are around 1000 deer now in the area, from the start of some 16 deer planted there in 1924. Eight animals were planted on Hinchin- brook Island in 1913 but this proved al failure. The attempt made in 1924, however, is bearing fruit and now deer are thriving on Hinchin- brook as well as some 40 miles back on the mainland and on all the islands.
 Working with Rhode was Game Warden George B. Nelson.

Der rifle. shouted at the bear who coon abandoned his victim and ran off through the brush.
 Phillips was assisted to the beach and taken aboard the Sitka where Hoefer dressed his wounds. His father and Stark arrived shortly af- terward and the lad was taken to Chichagof. about eight or ten miles away, where he was given medical attention by Mrs. Lee Atkinson, sho formerly was an army nurse.
 Five days later Young Phillips, who was for a time delirious, was aken to Sitka where he was treat d. by Dr. Hugh Nicholson. His lcalp was torn at the back of his head and four wounds on his head and neck required stitches. He suf- ferad numerous gashes on his right .eg-four of which were sewed-- and gashes under his right arm and on his right shoulder.
 Dr. Nicholson reported that the nature of the wounds indicated hat the bear was an ancient vet eran with badly worn teeth.
 Wants Revenge
 Young Phillips now has recently acquired a .35 caliber rifle--a real high-power armand he is filled with determination to even the core with the bear. T am going Q have his teethl" he said.
 Young Phillips stated that on the Slocum Arm hunting expedi- ion he saw the carcasses of four deer which had been killed by bear, and that other members of the rarty saw evidence of three deer killings by bears. 3
 At the offices of the Alaska Game Com mission this morning, Phillips odgcd a complaint against the re- strictions on Alaska brown bear with Executive Officer H. w. Ter huna and Assistant Executive Of ficer Frank DufreSne. i
 T would like to take Stewart Ed yard White for walk in that part of the country" young Phillips said and then see what he thought lcoat protecting brown bears"
 Have Poor Vision
 Executive Officer Terhune said that brown bears have very poor visicn and it is generally consid- ered true that when they attack nen it is under the mistaken inn pres ion that their intended victim is a deer or other food. Almost invariably, Terhune said, bear will leave a man as soon as it real izes his mistake if no resistance is offered.
 Travellers in bear country should be armed for bear and should take all necessary precautions, Terhune said. Tn open country a bear will sometimes charge man, but as soon as he gets close enough, to get the man scent he usually
The Daily Alaska empire., 1935-10-11

changes his mind. In wooded coun- try where the bears poor eyesight is hindered by brush he is much more apt to attack at close range.'
 Both Terhune and Dufresne stat ed that they have never heard of a man having been killed outright by a bear and that not more than five percent of the victims of at tacks by bears die as a result of their injuries.
 Displayed Great Nerve
 T think that young Phillips dis played remarkably clear-headed cola nerve" Dufresne said. s
 Questioned regarding the prob able size of the bear, Phillips said: All I saw was his head and that looked about three feet wide"
 Young Phillips made application this morning for an Assistant guide license.
