HIDDEN BAR HIT
At HEARING

District there were numerous
establishments that were actually
owned by persons formerly con
victed in prohibition days but
operated by relatives or "dum'
mieS'' to escape the present law,
Chairman Pa1miSano disagreed
with Mr.. Sands. He said that
he did not believe that If q per
son convicted of liquor law viola
tons in prohibition days wanted
to go straight he should be penal
lied by his former convictions.
Edwin ]. Roche, Of the Central
Labor Union, condemned the
closed bar, as a menace tt
society and health" He said labor
was not interested in beverages
but was concerned with the queS
ton Of revenue and better condi
tons.
Board Rule FIayed
The Alcohol Beverage Control
Board amendment restricting dis
plays and advertising by brewers
and distillers, was condemned by
several witnesses.
Alexander H. Bell, representing
nearby brewers, said:
There is too much tOadying
to people who put over the
noble experiment..
Beer is a revenue producing
product. If you hamstring the
brewers, you cut off a large
percentage of the revenue"
The ABC bill limits to 81 the
amount that a wholesaler may
spend on advertising items in tht
retail establishments.
Raymond Gittelman, also repre-
senting brewers, added his pro
testation to the advertising limita
ton.
Night Clubs Absent
Although the ABC is said tt
threaten night club operators ir
the District with tremendous los!
Of business, no representatives Of
that group appeared before the
subcommittee.
The bill provides that no liquor
shall be consumed on such
premises after a. m. on week
days and midnight on Saturdays
Operators Of clubs contend that
their biggest business is on Satur
day night, and, if the ABC bill
is enacted, it will ruin their
trade.
Marion De Vries, representing
wine producers, advised the com
mittee that District taxes on still
and sparkling wines were exorbi
tant in comparison with Federal
and other State taxes and said
that unless taxes were lifted
here it would be a severe hin
drance to this industry.

StrictiOns hampering the flow
of international trade.
Furthermore, our interna-
tiOnal position gives us little
justification for raising new
barriers against imports at the
present time. Although tn e
United States is one of the prin-
cipal creditor nations, we still
export more than we import"
POWERS NOW ADEQUATE
Secretary Hull conceded there
may be situations where sudden
increase in imports in a rarticu
lar commodity would destroy in
dustry and, therefore, be undesir
able.
In such situations, he said, Con
gressional action is not necessary
as the, Administration has the
necessary power under present
law.
Secretary Hull continued:
'KnOw facts indicate that i'm
ports of japanese goods are
negligible in relation to total
domestic production and con-
sumption.
FEARS EXAGGERATED
Manufacturers and business
men recently displayed a tend
ency to exaggerate the important
of competition from new sources,
they fear that which is as yet
unknown and unmeaSured.
Il believe we should resist
any effort to stampede this
Government into unnecessary
and unwise action against Japa-
neSe competition, whether in tex
tiles or any ether commodities"
He said that last year the
United States sold Japan twice as
much as Japan sold this country.
Soon after Secretary HulPs let
ter was made public, a determined
group of New England Democrats
in the House lodged a protest with
Secretary of Commerce Roper
against the Japanese cotton i'm,
ports.

EXPERTS URGE
RENODEL|NG
Of CAPITOL
Institute of Architects and
Fine Arts Body Back
"Face.Lifting" Plan

Support for the plan to lift the
face of the east front of the Capt.
tol was given before the House Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee today by Francis P. Sulli-
van, chairman Of the American
Institute Of Architects committee
on the National Capitol, and Eyer
ton Swartwout, vice chairman Of
the Fine Arts Commission.
Both witnesses were of the
opinion that the Capitol as it now
stands is an incompleted building
and should be added to with a
view to carrying out the project
suggested by Thomas U. Walter
when he built the wings and dome
on the old building.
Dome Defect Serious
Mr.. Sullivan said:
Il believe the overlapping Of
the dome Is O. serious defect
and should be remedied. I am
Of the OPINION, however, that
the new addition should retain
. recessed effect so that the
contour Of the front should re-
MAN."
Mr.. Swartwout declared that
the Capitol now has the appear
ance Of:
"The tail wagging the dog"
He continued:
1.-THE plan to change the mid
die portion from an eight col
uMn pOrticO to 10 columns
would provide . proper approach
for the dome and given the mid
die portion the prepOnderance
Of weight which is desirable"
Durability Sought
He also added that the inten-
ton was to reproduce the front
in O more durable material which
would enhance the historical value
Of the building.
It was stated there was a grow
ing sentiment in Congress against
any change because Of fear that
the bill would destroy historical
archaeological value.
Both Mr.. Sullivan and Mr..
Swartwout secuted this possibility
on the ground that the building
would be closer to the original
conception of it's architects if it
were changed than if it were al.
lowed to remain as it was.

CONTINUED from Page ~
that States Attorney Pugh has
stopped payment on checks repre-
Senting premiums on bonds given
to Mrs. Lyddane and written by
the company of which she was the
Rockville agent.
This action was taken after
Mr.. Pugh received q letter from
the Fidelity and Deposit Com
pany of Baltimore stating that
the company had failed to re-
ceive the premiums on the bonds
written by Mrs. Lyddane as agent
for the company. Mr.. Pugh was
quoted as saying:
"The company informs mo
that it has not received the
premiums on these bonds. I
have asked the county commits
SiOners to stop payment on the
county checks given Mrs. Id
dane for premiums, cancel the
bonds and issue new ones inn
mediately."
Accounts In Order
Mrs. Lyddane insists that her
bonding business is in good shape
and that there are no irregular
tiles. She says none Of the bonds
are missing but that all are in her
files at the bank where she was
employed.
Her statement is corroborated
by H. L. Jenness, branch manager
Of the bonding company which
wrote the bonds for Montgomery
county officials.
Mr.. Jenness said Mrs. Lyd-
danes account was in good order
and that there was no fault to be
found with her work.
Disclosures made yesterday by
Mrs. Beall gave new twist to the
already complex case.
Denies ANY Threat
In an interview with The
Washington Times yesterday Mrs.
Beall revealed for the first time
she was unaware of any attempt
on her life. She said:
81 never know about any so
called plot ON my life. Mrs.
Lyddane did not threaten me
and do not fear her. There
was never anything"
Senator Prescott is expected to
make this statement Of Mrs. Beall
one of the main props in his de-
Tense.
AS the time approached for the
preliminary hearing Saturday
morning the defense is lining up,
secretly, a number of witnesses
who will testify in behalf Of Mrs.
Lyddane.
Much interest has been shown
in Rockville in the proceedings in
the Lyddane case. A large crowd
of curious spectators is expected
to jam the small courtroom when
the blonde bank clerk is arraigned
on charges of Scheming the muir
der Of her husband.

PSYCHOLOGICAL
APPEAL DUE At

Continued from Rage
Germany and supplied him full
details.
Not many hours elapsed be-
before the Reich officially ex-
pressed it's indignation. It was
late last night when Won Buelow
requested the presence Of the
British and italian ENJOYS to
learn with what gravity and dis
appointment Germany views the
action of the powers at Geneva.
Hitler is due to return to Der.
lin today.
Declaration Saturday
Nationwide observance Of Hit
ler's birthday is scheduled for Sat
urday. It was expected Of
ficial announcement of Germany's
course would be made in connec.
ton with this celebration.
Up To Hitler
Generally. it was predicted Hit
Ter would announce he is through
with Geneva. It may have been
significant, however, that official
quarters, while bitterly attacking
the Leagues action, stressed that
the next move was up to Hitler
himself and none other. They
were almost ominouSly silent after
the actual vote was taken at
Geneva yesterday.
Some observers made much Of
this silence, but in high govern
ment circles it meant only that
official announcement Of the
Reich'S course was being delayed,
possibly in order that, in the true
Nazi manner, the psyche logically
correct" moment would be used to
blast a new German defiance to
other powers.
This moment could very well be
Saturday, when throughout the
country work will be laid aside in
honor Of the nations leader and
when the public would be more re-
ceptive than ever to its leaders
dictates.
It was considered possible that
q national referendum may be
held on the issue, with voters be-
ing asked to approve Germany's
final severance with the League,
dust =. in october, 1898, when
they overwhelmingly supported
Hitler's dramatic walk-out from
Geneva.
Nazi leaders predicted that they
would poll a 81 per cent vote on
such a referendum.

SENATE FACES
HARD FIGHTS:
ON BILLS
After Farm Aid Measure,
AntiIynching, Bonus and
MIRA Await Action
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service


With furious rows pending over
antilynching, bonus and MIRA leg
islation, the Senate today faced
a series of major controversies
once it enacts the pending Bank.
head Farmers Home Loan Cor
poration bill.
The Bankhead bill, generally
regarded with favor, would es-
tablish q 1850 million-dollar cor
poration to make loans to farm
ers for the purchase of farm
lands and construction Of build
ingS.
Once this measure passes, the
Senate will face a series of highly
controversial issues. The anti
lynching battle probably will come
first, since Senator Costigan CD
of Colorado, coauthor of the Wag.
ner-C ostigan bill, has served notice
he would move for its immediate
consideration.
A group of Southern Democrats
will fight this move with every
parliamentary and legislative
trick.
When that is settled, the Sen.
ate will be ready for NRA legisla-
ton. That, too, will provoke legis.
lative fireworks. A strong bloc
will seek to kill the whole MIRA,
Another group will try to revive
and strengthen antitrust laws.
With the NRA killed or ex,
tended, the Senate will run into
the bonus war. Three measures
are pending now for payment Of
the adjusted service compensation
certificates. The Patman bill.
passed by the House, would pay
the full value of these certificates
at once by issuing Treasury notes.
The Vinson bill would simply
order immediate cash payment
without providing the means.

Natives Taught Bible
COnsigns Them To
Inferior Status

Johannesuurgh, S. Africa, Sept. II
-(ANP)-R. F. Alfred Hoernle,
head of the department Of philosophy
and psychology in the University of
Witwatersrand here, writes an inter
esting comment for the C~ongrega-
tionalist, reproduced in the South AT
rican Outlook, the success white mis-
sionaries have had in persuading At
rican natives to the belief that God
intends for them always to be serv-
ants of the whites.
"Are you going against the Bible
by appealing to US natives to seek
education and to strive to advance
when it is the will of God, as declar-
ed in the Old Testament, that we ma
tives shall always remain hewers of
wood and drawers Of water?"
"On further inquiry" Hoernle
writes, " found that this same text
(the Bible curse against Ham) had
been quoted by Bible-trusting whites
as justifying the policy of holding
down the black peoples Of Africa
to service and mental work, and to a
correspondingly subordinate status
in tse social structure.
"The whole philosophy Of Kafir-
work, the whole principle of perma-
nent economic inferiority for the Ban
IT, has been made thereby to wear
the sacred air of a God-willed ar
rangement."
Mr.. Hoernle also explained the
South African maxim of mo equality
between white and black in church
and state. He writes:
I'm detail, this means (a) that ma
tives must be excluded from polite
al power, lest by the weight Of their
numbers they rule the whites; (b)
that there must be no social inter
course between white and black on
q footing Of equality; that there
must be segregation in trains and
trans, in schools and churches; that
whites and blacks must not work on
the same jobs side by side, nor in
the same rooms in factories. (c) that
nc native must ever occupy a posi-
ton or status in virtue of which he
would have the right to give orders
to a white man, let alone a white wo-
man.; (d) and some would even 90
SO far as to demand that no natives
wage must ever equal that Of a white,
Tor equal standards of life imply So
cial equality"
