LUCERNE, Switzerland, October 8
(By Wireless) ).-Today's trip was the
most eventful so far. The Hindenburg
landed at Main at 3:15
pm, Berlin time (9:l5 am, e. s. T.)
six hours too late for me to make my
connection in Italy. The ship was
then out of Lakehurst So hours and

The last stages of the Hindenburg's

ture. awoke at landfall near the
Bay Of Biscay at 3l5 in the morning
after a night Of flying blind In the
clouds. We passed up the channel
against head winds, crossed over the
Strait Of Dover and saw Calais in the
sunshine from our perch at 5000 1eet.
The channel was crowded with ships
swinging back and forth and we swung
south over Holland, Just west of
Rotterdam. where the dykes and wind
mills characterized the landscape Just
as they do in the pictures In q story
book.
We saw children running from
their schools to view the ship,
although it was Saturday. We passed
over the fertile fields Of the Rhine,
which made a colorful panorama, the
first We had seen after our journey
over the ocean to Frankfort. next
boarded a Lufthansa- -Junker tri-motor
and took 7l-minute flight to Basic

Mannheim, karlsruhe and Baden

forbidding looking hills of the Black
Forest to Offenburg. Lahr, Freiburg
and Basle. There I met an official
Of the Swiss Airways, who took me
to dinner and showed me the in
tricacies Of money exchange and how
to handle the problem Of entraining
at Brindisi.
My leave-taking at Frankfort was
rather sad. I had come to know
most of the passengers and regard
them as old friends. Most of them
insisted on giving me good advice on

through, however. Two OF the Demo-
cratic members, Cannon and O'Malley,
are from Milwaukee. Their re-elec-
ton Is admitted by the Progressives,

the Fond Du Lac district. The Re-

strong as they believe he will they
may succeed.

and an attorney general. Duffy comes
up for reelection two years hence and
may have to face a strong candidate
of the Progressive party.
Roosevelt carried Wisconsin with q
huge plurality-460,0 900 votes-four
years ago. He had 100000 votes to
347,000 for Hoover. In that year
Roosevelt had the support of the La
Follettes as he has now. Hoover won
the State against Smith in 1928 with
a plurality Of $4,000. The wet senti-
ment, always strong in this State, was
a powerful influence in rolling up q
big Smith vote. In earlier years, Wis
consin has had In presidential elec-
tions very strong Republican slant.
However. it looks today as though
Roosevelt has a decided edge here.
Only q definite Republican sweep can
overcome that edge. The race for
Governor seems to lie between La Fol-
lette and the Republican candidate,
Wiley, with La Toilette in the lead.

LIQUOR INDUSTRY
FACES PRICE WAR
Mounting Warehouse Sup.
plies Point to Danger,
Official Says.
BY the Associated Press.

6y tilc hSSOClateO FTeSS-
Officials of the Federal Alcohol Ad-
ministration voiced concern yesterday
that mounting warehouse liquor stor-
age figures might cause a Nation
wide price war in the liquor industry.
Administrator w. S. Alexander dis
closed that last December 81 there
were 207,113,535 gallons of corn,
bourbon, rye and other whiskies in
Government bonded warehouses. BY
August 81. he said today, this figure
had increased at the rate of $4,000, =
600 gallons a month to total Of $685.
608,2l5 gallons.
Should this same monthly average
continue to December 81" Alexander
said. "a total of s4,o67 .2os gallons Of
whisky will be placed In storage this
year. BY 1888, when whisky in bonded
Government warehouses stored in
1884 will begin to be four years Of
age, total of sos, ,247,s $50 gallons Of
whisky will be in storage If the present
rate Of production and consumption
keeps up"
Prior to prohibition, Alexander
added, the largest amount of whisky
ever withdrawn from bonded ware
houses for consumption in any one
year was 83,590.951 gallons. The
average annual withdrawal for 10
years prior to 1918 was approximately
10, ,000, 900 gallons.
Alexander did not discuss the effect
OF mounting warehouse figures upon
the market, but In other quarters
Treasury officials expressed concern.
I'VE are very apprehensive," one
said, the liquor industry Is producing
far more than the public is consum-
ing. 1t looks as If very unfortunate
price war Is imminent"
Dr. James M. Doran, director of the
Distilled Spirits Institute and former
commissioner of the Bureau of In
dustrial Alcohol, said. however, he saw
no cause for alarm.
1T Is true" DR.. Doran said. that
warehouse figures are increasing, but
as the stored liquor increases in age

tity for sale as straight whisky"

Walker resigned as Mayor in 1882

The resolution, offered by L. A.
Carruthers, chairman of the Feder-
alton Committee on Fiscal Relations.
reads:
In connection with the work on
the 1888 District budget, suggested
new and increased sources of revenue
have been made by District c1cials.
These suggestions include . propo-
sition to increase the gasoline TAX
and to substitute q weight tax for the
general property tax on automobiles.
This association has repeatedly and
consistently opposed q diversion Of the
gasoline tax ito other uses than for
highway improvements) and has op-
posed any increase in the gas tax un-
less required to carry out the pro-
visions Of long-term highway plan.
Oppose Tax by Weight.
This association has also opposed
the substitution Of weight tax for q
general property tax (on automobiles) .
Such tax would increase the burden
on the automobile owners by more
than 1,000,0 900, and would be shift
Ing the burden from those most able
to pay the tax to the less able class.
We believe that it Is unwise at this
time for the District officials to pro-
pose or advocate any new forms Of
taxation until the result of the study
on fiscal relations Is made known. It
is further believed that If the Federal
Government will assume its fair share

ROOSEVELT RESTS
FOR WESTERN TRIP
Col. House Visit at Hyde
Park Not Believed to Have
Political Significance.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HYDE PARK, N. Y, October B.
President Roosevelt kept an eye or
politics today as he began resting
from his first campaign swing through
the East and looking over tentative
schedules for another into the West.
Col. Edward N. House, presidential
adviser and conhdant in the Wilson
administrations, and Mrs. House had
luncheon at the Presidents Duches;
County home. Edward j. Flynn. New
York secretary of State and Bronx
County leader, appeared for q morn
ing conference.
While Col. House was q supporter
OF Mr.. Roosevelt before the 80 Chi
cago convention, and was Q frequent
member Of the Presidents encourage
in his campaign four years ago, he
has been virtually politically inactive
since Roosevelt's election.
From time to time he has discussed
foreign affairs with Mr.. Roosevelt, but
little political significance was at
tached to his visit today.
Predicts New York Victory.
Flynn had nothing to add to pre-
vious predictions that the President
would carry New York by q substan-
tial margin.
BY telephone, the President was
advised by his assistants that Fred A.
Curtis and Patrick j. Delaney, Mime
sofas Democratic nominees, respec-
lively, for Governor and Senator, had
ordered their names of the ballots to
unite Democratic and Farmer-Labor
strength against the Republican can
didates.
Mr.. Roosevelt offered no comment
on that campaign development. but.
unoficially, White House officials let
it be known they considered the with
drawal excellent strategy.
Presidential aides said an itinerary
for the Chief Executives political
sortie into the West was nearing com.
pletion and would be announced with
in day or two.
Mr.. Roosevelt planned to stake 1t
easy" here until Monday night, then
make an overnight train trip to WASH
ington, from where the Western cam
paign trip Is expected to start about
Friday.
Ayerill Hartman. New York finan-
cier and former deputy administra-
tor of the N. r. A., was the only
other caller today at the Roosevelt
home.
Campaign Speeches Wait.
White House attaches said Mr..
Roosevelt had not yet begun work on
additional campaign speeches. Agri-
culture, labor and reciprocal tariffs
are expected to receive major atten-
ton in the earlier ones, with perhaps
some amplification of subjects which
he touched on in addresses in the in
dustrial East.
Between appointments today, the
President looked over his mail and
concentrated on official business that
had accumulated since Tuesday. when
he started his personal campaign for
reelection.
Four generations Of Roosevelts were
at the family home for the week end.
The Presidents 82-year-old mother.
Mrs. James Roosevelt, sr, was there;
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt:
their daughter. Mrs. John Boettiger,
and Mr.. Boettiger; a daughter-in-
law. Mrs. James Roosevelt. jr., and
four grandchildren Of the President,
"Sistie" and "Buzzie," Mrs. Boettiger's
children, and Sara Jane. daughter Of

company her President on
