fore U. S. Commissioner Harry Krasow.
 The government is expected to present the strongest portion of its case immediately after the opening of the hearing Monday, after which the defense will offer its wit nesses. It was learned today that should they deem it necessary Att torney Edward Mascolo and James Mcknight of defense counsel have no less than 17 witnesses ready to call upon.
 The defense attorneys are confi- dent that Monday will bring the complete exoneration of their cli- ents, who have been under federal charges since early last month. After several weeks of investiga- tion by agents of the alcohol tax unit, internal revenue bureau, warrants were issued for Devino and Mastrianna. Presented before the commissioner, the two men were freed under bonds of $2,000 each pending the opening of the official hearing which began last week.
 At the opening of the hearing early this week, the government brought out time and again how much the mysterious "Beano" fig ured in the sub-letting of the coal shed and tower where the still was found. Much was made of the fact that Devino owned the property on which the illicit apparatus was found, and that he had leased it to Mastrianna last year.
 There have been hints since Monday that the government may offer one or more surprise" wit nesses when the hearing is re- sumed before Commissioner Kra- SOW. Mondays hearing will de- termine the truth of these reports.
 Both government and defense seem confident that the hearing will end Monday, though it may last into the late afternoon or early evening hours.

ANOTHER PLAN TO
 HELP JOBLESS

Boston, July 13-(UP)-A plan to help the unemployed by finger printing everybody in the United States was outlined yesterday by U. s. Marshal John J. Murphy ill a letter to President Roosevelt seeking his approval.
 The work could be completed within a year with 500 men and 500 women working in each of the 4S states under the direction of the U. S. marshal in each state, Murphy said.
 A public record of Identification for everybody would be obtained and used during calamities, such as tornadoes, floods, and earth quakes. All work would be done in factories, schools, hospitals, banks, city, state and federal buildings and thus there would be no overhead, all money appropri- ated going for wages.

 IN CHINA FLOOD

Shanghai, July 13.-(UP).- China's two great rivers were flooding to the disaster level to- day as they raced through gorges or flowed through the great open plains to. the sea.
 Thousands of square miles of fertile land were flooded. The two great rivers and their many tribu- taries. flowing across the whole breadth of China, were approach ing at many places, and exceeding at some, the levels of the devastat- ing floods of 1881.
 In the north, the Hwang Ho or Yellow river and in the south the Yangtze Tapped each hour new ly inundated soil, and pressed with terrifice force against dykes.
 Estimates of deaths were unre- liable. It was indicated that the death list would prove large even if the flood subsided at once. It was known that 2,000 people drowned in their sleep last Monday night at Yenshin in western Honan province. when a tributary of the Hwang Ho broke its banks.
