BLANTON DENIES
BOY SCOUT SLUR
Answers Dickstein Charge
in Row Over Admitting
Boys to Jamboree.

Representative Blanton, Democrat
of Texas, denied in statement today
that he had compared foreign Boy
Scouts with Emma Goldman, noto-
rious anarchist, as charged yesterday
by Representative Dickstein, Demo-
crat of New York.
The New Yorker made the asser-
ton in complaining of Blanton's ac-
ton in blocking House decision on
the formers proposal to admit for
eign Scouts free of visa fees to at
tend the international Scout jam
boree here in August.
Blanton emphasized today he did
not object to the alien Scouts coming
to this country, so long as provision
was made ito insure their prompt re-
turn after the jamboree."
Dickstein, chairman of the Immigra-
ton Committee, assured him the reso-
luton carried such provisions, but
Blanton refused to withhold his OBJ
lection until all of the resolution could
be read.
What objected to was the provi-
sions in the resolution that in addi-
ton to giving this privilege to the alien
Boy Scout participants themselves, it
provided for alien officials, and alien
members of delegations, and alien
members of the immediate families of
all of the foregoing, under which at
least 100000 foreigners might come
into the United States," Blanton's
statement said.
II did not in any way compare
alien Boy Scouts with Emma Gold
man or Alexander Berkman, but said
that when our immigration Bureau
allowed Emma Goldman, a notorious
anarchist, who was the dangerous pal
of the anarchist Alexander Berkman,
to come here at this dangerous period,
after our Government had spent q
tremendous sum to deport them fol-
lowing the World War, I did not want
to leave the matter only in the hands
of such bureau"

DRAMATIC CLUB
IN SPRING PLAY
American University Group Pre-
sents "Much Ado About
Nothing"

The Dramatic Club Of American
University last night presented its
Spring play, Much Ado About Moth
ing" in the gymnasium on the campus
before a large audience. The pro-
duction was a bit too slowly paced,
throughout, though the players
warmed up after a rather sluggish
first act and put some life into their
roles, increasing in their effective
ness as the play progressed. For the
most part they read their lines faith
fully, though the acoustics of the large
room are not exactly conducive to
eloquent Shakespeare. All in all,
though, the Dramatic Club provided
an entertaining evening.
Among those taking part, Miss Betty
Gray. playing the role of Beatrice,
the willful young lady who said she
could not get married because she
would hate to look at a husband
with a beard and would not have one
without a beard, stood out head and
shoulders above the others. She read
zest and will power into her lines.
Beatrice's cousin Hero also was neatly
played by Ruth-Martin Simpson, an
other young lady who can read
Shakespeare.
Most notable performances on the
male side of the cast were delivered
by William Thompson, as Don Pedro,
the prince who played Cupid, and by
Duane Covert, the confirmed bachelor
who had a penchant for insulting the
fiery Beatrice. Randall Book, playing
Claudio, lover of Hero; Eugene john
son, playing Leonato, Governor OF
Messina, and Albert Hanavalt, as Don
John, brother Of Don Pedro, were
three actors who did well. other
players in the cast were adequate in
their roles.
Eight girls, under the direction OF
Miss Louise c. Morse, participated in
a graceful dance number during the
second act, which was one Of the hits
Of the show. The play was directed
by Will Hutchins. Music between the
acts was furnished by the college
orchestra, under the leadership OF
James M. Thurmond, jr. H. M.

80 BEER BANNED
IN DRY DISTRICTS
Attorney General Rules Beverage
Cannot Be Sold in Mont
gomery Areas.
BY a STAFF CORRESPONDENT of The Star.

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
SILVER SPRING, Md. May H.
Thirsty residents of the four Mont
gomery County districts that voted
dry in the recent local-option refer
endum will not be allowed to buy even
80 per cent beer, according to a
ruling of Attorney General Herbert
r. O'Conor.
Announcement Of the ruling, re-
ceived yesterday in a letter to the
County Liquor Control Board, re-
verses the boards ruling of a week
ago that although the four districts
Colesville, Clarksburg, Darnestown
and Laytonsville-had voted dry, the
sale of 80 per cent beer was legally
permissible because a Federal statute
had ruled it Notwithstanding.
The attorney generals decision
holds that whether or not the bever-
age is intoxicating is beside the point
He points out that the Maryland law
enacted by the General Assembly in
1888, prohibits the issuance of licenses
for the sale of alcoholic beverages ir
dry areas.

Farmers to Call for Contin-
uation of Benefit Adjust
ment Plan.
DAVIS ISSUES WARNING
FOR STRICT NEUTRALITY
Department Arranges Reserva.
tions for Those Coming In.
1000 May Arrive.

Three thousand farmers were on
their way to the Capital today from
the corn. wheat and hog sections of
the country to demand continuation
of the Governments agricultural pro-
gram.
They planned an all-day meeting
in the Labor Department auditorium
Tuesday Ito demonstrate to the ad-
ministration and to the country that
we favor the benefit adjustment plan"
Secretary Wallace has been asked to
address them.
A. A. A. officials spent yesterday
making reservations at hotels and
tourist camps for the visitors, who are
coming from as far West as the Rocky
Mountains.
First groups of the huge convention
will arrive Monday and all are ex-
pected to be here Tuesday.
Prodding Is Denied.
The A. A. A. denied it had inf1u-
enced the farmers to hold this meet
ing, which comes after month Of
sniping at the processing tax by cot
Ton textile INTERESTS.
The demonstration is, however. a
fulfllment of the recent prophecy of
Chester Davis, agricultural admins
TRAITOR, that when the processing tax
fight gets hottest we will hear from
its supporters"
C. H. Day, a cotton farmer living
near Dallas, Tex, organized the
meeting, according to the A. A. A.,
and is leading 500 farmers from his
State to Washington.
Trains will bring so from the Da-
kotas, $50 from Arkansas and many
more from the South and Middle
West. Some A. A. A. officials esti-
mated perhaps 1000 would come. The
farmers are paying their own way or
coming on contributions donated by
their neighbors to voice the opinion
Of the benefit-payment supporters.
Income Loss Feared.
Repeal of the tax would seriously
curtail income of Cotton, corn-hog
and wheat farmers. The latter. espe-
cially in the drought areas OF the
West, have signed contracts that will
bring them payments for wheat de-
stroyed by drought.
Day is a leading member OF the
Texas Cotton Advisory Committee. an
unofficial organization. His State is
the largest cotton-growing section In
the country and has benefited more
from A. A. A. adjustment payments
than any other State.
The A. A. A. was cautioned yes
terday by Administrator Davis to
maintain strict neutrality toward the
group, the cautionary word being in
terpreted by other A. A. A. officials
as predicated on a belief the farm
agency might be held responsible for
any action by the assembled farmers,
particularly in view of the A. A. AS
plea for farm support for the pending
A. A. A. amendments.
The A. A. A. officials argued, not
for quotation, that the corn-hog and
wheat farmers were rallying because
they had decided that If repeal Of
the cotton processing tax is obtained
the attack on the A. A. A. will spread
Immediately to other existing pro-
grams.

Merchants on Pennsylvania
Avenue Negotiate With
Officials.
TWO BLOCKS INVOLVED,
SMITH ANNOUNCES
Convention Arrangements Head
Hoping for Compromise With
Directors.

The route for the spectacular parades
during the Shrine convention June 8
to IS hung in the balance today as
officials of Almas Temple went into
conference at the temple with repre-
sentatives of merchants in two blocks
on Pennsylvania avenue who bad OBJ
jected to the Shrine Committees
erecting stands in front of their places
of business.
After protests by the merchants,
Shrine officials had virtually decided
to take the parades of lower Penn
sylvania avenue and run them up
Fifteenth street, but both merchants
and Shrine leaders were still trying
to work out a plan whereby the origi-
nal route along the historic Old thor
oughfare could be used.
Two Blocks Now Involved.
Robert P. Smith. protentate Of Al
mas Temple and director general of
the Shrine Convention Arrangements
Committee, said only two blocks were
now involved in the protest, between
Ninth and Tenth and between
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets.
I'VE will have to change the route
of the parade and start 1t from the
Sylvan Theater, near the Monument" ?"
said Director General Smith, land go
up Fifteenth street, turning left into
Pennsylvania avenue, past the White
House, unless this matter can be
worked out. In that case, We would
probably remove all the decorations
from Peace Monument to Eleventh
street and move them over onto Fiji
teenth street."
These decorations, already in place,
include tall poles on opposite sides of
the Avenue between which is being
strung steel cable for festooning the
| avenue.
u am hoping, however" said Direc-
tor General Smith, that We can reach
an agreement which will be satisfac-
tory both to the Shrine and to the
protesting merchants
Personally I would like to see the
parades kept on Pennsylvania avenue,
where think they belong. We hope
this matter can be adjusted. The
merchants are the ones who will profit
financially from this convention and
not the Mystic Shrine.
THE Shrine is paying out money to
bring this convention here, but the
money that is spent in Washington
will go to the merchants of the city"
Asked about the nature of the agree
ment hoped for, Smith indicated 1t
might be in the nature of compro-
mise.
1T would not be necessary for us to
put stands solidly along the complete
route" he explained.
Details Not Revealed.
The nature Of the negotiations
under way at Almas Temple was not
disclosed as to detail, nor were there
any revelations as to what kind of
concessions are being sought by both
sides to the disagreement.
The merchants, 1t is understood,
protested against the Shrine Com
mittee's erecting large stands along
the sidewalks Of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. in front of their places of busi-
ness.
Three great parades will pass along
the line of march, the site for which
was up in the air today. One Of these
will be pageant on Thursday night
consisting of spectacular and elabo-
rate units which will provide enter
tainment from place to place as they
proceed. The two other parades are
by the gayly costumed Shrine bodies
| themselves.

NO PRICE FIXING

(MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
No provision for fixing" prices Of

Termohlen, head Of the AAA poultry
unit advises the Montana Extension

Figures published in a preliminary
report on the cost of producing chicks
have, in some instances, been erron-
eously interpreted as fixed prices, &C
cording to Termohlen.
He points out that while the hatch
cry code provides for the publication of
results of cost surveys fer the benefits
OF the industry and the public, it spec
flies that such published cost figures
shall not be used as the basis for de-
termining whether or not the destruct-
i've price provision or any other pro-
visions of this code have been violated
by any member of the industry" The
ccst-of-production figures were pub
lshed by the hatchery-code coordinat-
ing committee merely as a suggested
basis for figuring prices.
production COSTS" he says, wary in
different sections of the country be-
cause of differences in egg costs, and
they vary among hatcheries because of
differences in quality of chicks produc-
ed and the efficiency Of the hatcheries.
The average cost of production within
q given area or for the country as a
whole would not, therefore, be equitable
to every individual hatchery"
Average cost of producing chicks in
the United States in 1884, as stated in
