ADVERTISER EMIT
Evening star., 1935-02-10

In the interest of better liquor law
enforcement, Maj. Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent of police. would like
to see stores not engaged solely in
the sale of alcoholic drinks prohibited
from engaging in the liquor business,
he said last night.
With his present staff of officers,
the police chief is faced with an al
most insurmountable task in Tight
ing the evils of the bootleg traftic.
He has asked for an increase in the
personnel of the force, but this was
vetoed by the Budget Bureau.
Now, he feels, the only way to
cope with the situation is to prevent
the sale of liquor by other than liquor
stores-that iS-sale Of alcoholic
beverages by the package to be con-
sumed off the premises.
If such an amendment to the
alcoholic beverage control act were
enacted, as soon as the hour came for
the legal sale of liquor to stop, all
stores handling the beverages would
be forced to close their doors.
Brown also feels rather keenly
about the practice of hotels and ight
clubs selling q trayload of drinks the
moment before the curfew rings down
on drink sales. He said he thought
such establishments should be forced

fcGtiOn Proposal.

President Roosevelt is personally in
terested in the unification of Wash
ington's recreational facilities.
This was evidenced yesterday when
it became known that the Chief Exec
utive addressed letter on the subject
to Secretary Ickes, who has charge of
the National Park Service, under
which local parks now are operated.
The contents of the Presidents COM
munication were not made public i'm
mediately. Interior Department au-
thorities said Secretary Ickes was
leaving the city and the letter prob
ably would not be made public until
Wednesday.
This new action comes on the heels
of series of hearings held by the
Advisory Council on Recreation, ap-
pointed by the District Commissioners
to recommend course of action
Washingtons present recreational
set-up is split between the National
Capital Parks the Community Center
Department, the Playground Depart

mending four alternative plans for
unification. The so-called plan four. "
under which the National Capital
Parks and the Community Center De-
partment would jointly operate the
recreational system. to the exclusion
Of the District Commissioners, re-
ceived most public attention. A num-
Der of citizens associations have lined
up for and against this plan.

Transient Bureau Officials
Believe Epidemic Is
Unlikely Here.

The spinal meningitis problem con-
tinued to occupy the attention of
Transient Relief Bureau officials last
night, but it became increasingly ap-
parent that no epidemic was likely.
Gallinger Hospital authorities said
three suspect cases had been sent to
that institution during the day, but
physicians said none of the men ap-
parently was suffering from the dis
ease.
Search for new quarters in which
to house some of the 1,700 men under
quarantine was to be continued over
the week end. Richard w. Gebhardt,
transient relief director, reported a
building near Thirteenth street and
Massachusetts avenue northeast ap-
peared available for lease by the
Transient Bureau, but said final
negotiations would not be completed
until Monday at the earliest,
This building was reported as being
large enough to house between 200 and
400 men. Gebhardt said other build
ings also were being sought by his
bureau.
DR.. James Cumming acting health
officer, in the absence of DR.. Edward

poets had come from the colored tram
sient lodge on Georgia avenue. AT

other cases had been sent in.
Search for three transients who
escaped from the quarantine lodge
Friday night was being continued last
night. Meanwhile. it was reported
two other men had escaped from the

OLD-ACE PENSIONS
IN D. c. S13O,0OO
Analysis Under Pending Leg.
iSIatiOn Shows Country'S
Total S110,627,OO0.

Approximately Sl30,OOO was esti-
mated as the annual cost of old-age
pensions in the District of Columbia
under pending legislation. based on
an analysis made yesterday by the
Committee on Economic Security
which estimated the total cost for the
entire country at $110,627,000.
These estimates were computed on
pensions of $40 month for the whole
country, distributed in the same pro-
portion as relief grants per family in
the States bear the average through
out the country.
Under different bases of computa-
ton, estimates were made on the an
nual costs of pensions per month
ranging from $40 to $25. For the
low figure on this basis the cost to
the District of Columbia would be
$4,000. while the SIS pension would
entail burdens of $4,000.
814 in 65-Year Class.
The number of persons in the Dis
trict of Columbia IS years of age and
over eligible for pensions and car
ried on the relief rolls last November
was 8l4
The committee explained that
Sl30,000 estimate for the District was
computed on the basis which was be-
lieved to most nearly approximate the
probable total cost to the States. In
fre hn caPnnd
however. the total costs probably will
not be realized, as there will be an
inevitable lag in getting the old
people, now on relief, on the pension
rolls.
In estimating the cost of old-age
pensions to the States, the committee
pointed out as two uncertainties the
number of old people who will qualify
for pensions and the probable aver
age pension grants. While one-third
of all people over IS years of age do
not have adequate means of their
own, the great majority are sup
ported by their families or friends.
The pending bill contemplates assist
ance only to those who are actually
dependent on public aid Yet many
of the old people on relief rolls are
ineligible for pensions due to the fact
that some are not citizens and others
cannot satisfy the five-year residence
requirement.
Basis for Eligibles.
1t is believed to be a reasonable
estimate, the committee said, to base
eligibleS on the total number of old
people now on relief rolls, plus those
who are receiving old-age pensions in
% States. There is no such law in
the District of Columbia.
Grants to persons on relief in 1884
averaged $25.83 per family per month.
There was. however, a great differ
ence in these grants among the
States, ranging from $1033 in Okla
homa, to S4494 in New York. In
States having old-age pension laws,
the grants averaged $18.75 in 1888
and S16.47 in the Fall of 1884.
For Maryland, with 4,l94 old people
eligible for $20-a-month pensions,
the cost in relation to relief grants
would be $623,000 annually. In Vir-
ginia it would cost $356.000 to PEN
sion 6,588 old people now on relief
rolls.

LIQUOR RUNNING,
AUTOLOSSFACED
Innocence or Guilt Makes
No Difference Under Ad- :
kins Ruling.

Innocent or guilty, the owner Of an
automobile used in running liquor
into the District without payment of
tax faces almost certain loss of his
machine under a ruling in District
Supreme Court yesterday by Justice
Jesse C. Adkins.
The opinion of Justice Adkins also
held that the power of deciding
whether a machine involved in liquor
running shall be returned to the own
er rests with the Secretary of the
Treasury and not with the local
courts
Car Sought for Estate.
The question was raised when an
attempt was made to secure the re-
turn of an automobile belonging to
the estate of the late John johnson.
which had been seized on the ground
it was used in violation of the liquor
taxing act. There was no evidence
that johnson personally had used the
machine in violation of law and At
torney Nathan Dobbins, representing
his estate, therefore filed a petition in
court for return Of the automobile.
After the petition had been filed, a
rule requiring the Secretary of the
Treasury to show cause why the ma
chine should not be returned was is
sued.
Assistant United States Attorney
Allen j. KrouSe, who was assigned to
represent Secretary Morgenthau, con-
tended the power to decide whether a
machine should be returned was con-
ferred by statute upon the cabinet
officer and that the court has no
authority to determine the question.
After hearing argument on the
point. Justice Adkins granted a mo-
ton to dismiss the petition for return
of the car.
knowledge Held Not Necessary.
During the hearing, Krouse pointed
out that under controlling decisions
it makes no difference whether the
owner of the car knew it was being
used unlawfully provided the car itself
was used in an illegal enterprise. The
owner, he contended, might be entirely
innocent and the car still be subject
to forfeiture by the Secretary of the
Treasury, If it had been used in run
ming liquor illegally.
The decision that the Secretary has
exclusive power to decide whether
seized car shall be returned is ex-
pected to have far-reaching conse-
quences in view of the fact that in the
past a great many cars have been re-
turned to innocent owners by court
order. 1t was expected that in the
future the owners will be compelled
to make their applications for return
of car to the Secretary.
