LIQUOR TAX VIEWS
ON HILL CONFLICT
Admins tration Indicates
Willingness to Let Rate
Remain at So.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The question of lowering liquor
taxes was discussed yesterday on
Capitol Hill, disclosing wide
division Of opinion among the law
makers.
The Treasury is opposed to cutting
the tax. The Federal Alcohol Con-
troll Administration believes a lower
levy would bring death to the boot
Logging industry.
Indications are that the admins
tration is willing to let the tax remain
at So a gallon, although a group of
congressman, headed by Representa-
tive Mccormack Democrat, Massa-
chusetts), favor restoring the old
Sl.l0 a gallon impost.
Reduction Is Urged.
Mccormack, an influential member
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, issued statement urging re-
duction to Sl10, and added:
IF liquor taxes are too high the
cost of legitimate spirits to the con-
su,ner is such that illegally manu-
factured liquor can be sold in COM
petition and at a lower price,
Representative Samuel B. Hill of
Washington, ranking Democrat on the
same committee, expressed the
opinion that the 50 rate should be
preserved and lower retail prices
brought by tariff pact reductions of

glimpse Of our pursuing enemy. She
was a powerful-looking cutter, half
as large again as ourselves and, in
addition to her engine, she was forging
along under every strip of canvas
that she was capable of carrying.
Thanks, old man; I'll take her
on now. You get down into the well,
Molly"
Jerry, who had already possessed
himself of the tiller, slipped deftly
into my place and, edging out Of
his way, peered through the flying
Spume at the white-crested turmoil
ahead Of us.
Looks ugly" he remarked. "but
it's our only chance. Now they know
we've got the paper those devils won't
care curse what happens. They'll
shoot us down like rabbits and then
make fo- that ship of theirs"
I fished out the revolver which I
had stuffed away into my side pocket.
They'll have to hurry" I muttered.
IF they don't catch us before we
reach the bar"
That's what I'm counting on"
Jerry laughed grimly. They must
draw at least a couple of feet more
than we do and with any luck there's
an almighty smash coming for some
body"
He eased off the mainsheet and
with the wind dead behind us, the
Seagull heaved and smashed her way
joyously through the onrushing tide.
Better lie down, Nick" he added;
"it would spoil all the fun if you got
q bullet through your head"
His advice struck me as sound
and, stretching myself out fiat, I
looked back over the foaming wake
which spread out in a broad fan
astern. With the help of her engine
the pursuing cutter was overhauling
us rapidly.
In the bright light of the moon
which now shone down through a

1t were daytime. One of them.

! slightly forward. his face a white
mask in the moonlight. Except for
the slight swaying of his body as
the ship rose and fell, he never
stirred or varied his position.
Not more than a hundred yards
now separated us and every moment
the roar of the sea as it pounded
against the bar became louder and
more strident.
Twisting myself around, I took a
glance forward over the plunging
bobstay. Directly ahead of us the
line of breakers that stretched from
shore to shore was broken by mar

domestic producers have protection
and boost their prices near those of
imported liquors. In reciprocal trade
agreements, he reminded, the import
duty could be reduced to $3.50 a
gallon.
Mccormack, however, insisted a
reduction in the domestic tax will
go long ways towards removing the
origin of organized violations, and in
crease the consumption of legally
produced spirits with little, if any,
loss of revenue"
1.-THE reduction of the Federal tax
would enable State and local agencies
to impose a reasonable tax which
would benefit the taxpayers of the
local governments" he added.

harm in making a few preparations.
You two stay here and, for the love
of Mike, keep your eyes OPEN"
He left us abruptly and, moving
forward into the bows, started to haul
in the slack of the anchor chain.
Down below, through the open door
of the cabin, I could hear Jimmy
pumping up the Primus.
I'D give a lot to know what's hap

said Where do you suppose he was

I've been trying to work it out. "

to go back to the boat. He'd finished
with us-at least, so he thought-but
that was no use unless he could get
