WIRE
DESCRIBED IN
STATE PROBE
Dealer Charges He
Was Framed Out
Of $4,000

LOS ANGELES, June 27.
(UP)-Charges that he was
deliberately framed" out
of his wholesale liquor Ii
cense and was forced to
spend about $4,000 to have it
restored were made today before
the assembly investigating COM
mittee by John A. "Foghorn" Muir
ply, liquor dealer and close friend
of Gov. Frank F. Merriam.
Murphy declared the revoca-
ton of his license, under the ad-
ministration of Ray l.. Edgar, Ell
Centre member of the board, was
due to his antagonistic attitude
toward the liquor administration.
The license was restored only
after he had carried the case per-
sonally to Governor Merriam and
Fred Stewart, Oakland board
member and his lifelong friend,
Murphy said.
Both Edgar and "a man named
Perkins" broke their first prom
ise to the governor to "fix up" the
revocation of his license, by re-
fusing to restore it at the next
board meeting and it was only at
ter considerable political Wire
pulling that the license was re-
stored, Murphy testified.
THAT little clash with the IL
ouor control officers cost me about
$4,000 and it seems shame to
me that we taxpayers who have
to support those birds in office
should be forced to put up with
this sort of thing" Murphy said.
About the same time, Murphy
testified, Merle Templeton, Los
Angeles liquor control cher, toia
him he was going to get the IL
censes of several large breweries
including Lucky Lager, the Cen
eral Brewing company, Valley Dis
tributors and Associated Distriput-

Japanese domination.
The Teh Wang prince, Teh i,
hereditary ruler of the Sunnet
tribes, established the seat of the
Independent Inner Mongolian gov
ernment at CHA Pu Ssu, on the
borders of Chahar and Suiyuan
provinces.
Prince Teh proclaimed himself
commander in chief of the inner
Mongolian army.
Formation of the independent In.
ner Mongolian military government
was admitted officially by Peiping
Chinese officials. It represents the
final evolution of inner Mongolia
from an integral part of China to
an independent state sponsored by
the Japanese.
Since 1890 Prince Teh and other
inner Mongolian chieftains have
been content with an autonomous
government, located at Pailing-
Mao, which negotiated with both
the Chinese and the japanese for
arms and recognition. The jap
anese won, observers believed, be
cause OF their ability to promise
Prince Teh protection against \out-
er Mongolia, sovietized state und-
er the tutelage of Moscow.
The rise of Japanese influence
IN Inner Mongolia extends the sway
OF Nippon on mainland Asia far
beyond the borders of Manchukuo
and deep into Central Asia.

SETUP IRONED
Previous Relief Roll
Status Ignored in
Job Allotment

WASHINGTON, June 27.
(UP)-Works Progress Ad-
ministration h e a d S today
sought a new definition for
need" to qualify unem-
ployed for jobs under the govern
ment's new $3,446,0 100000 work.
relief program.
Heretofore, only persons on di-
rect relief rolls priCr to Nov. l,
1885, were eligible for work. Work
lists were limited to 3,500,000, 900
needy.
Now, WPAs jobs must be allot-
ted regardless of previous relief
roll status. The provision was
specifically written into the new
$1,425, 100000 appropriation by
congress.
WPA Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins, to meet the problem, gave
local WPA directors the power to
determine which needy shall re-
ceive the 3,000,0 0,000-odd jobs the
New Deal plans to finance during
the 1867 fiscal year.
Their task was intensified by
the fact that, while Hopkins made
work for 100000 this last year,
a total of 100000 persons regis
tered for government work with
the U. S. unemployment service.
Work relief officials said WPA
would decide on a definition OF
need" to meet congress law, but
that local program directors would
be given some latitude" in ap-
plying the policy.
They intimated work would be
limited to persons certified in
need of relief" regardless of whe-
ther they had been forced to
depend on the government for a
living,
