TAPPING
CASE BEFORE
H|GHC0URT.
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

The Department Of Justice in
a brief on file in the Supreme
Court today strongly opposes re-
opening Of the question OF constl-
tutionality of overlapping.
The issue, which aroused nation
wide controversy during prohibi-
ton days, was thrust forward again
when Morris Renkoff protested to
the high court that he was con-
victed partially on evidence OBJ
tanned by tapping telephone wires.
Solicitor General Stanley Reed
and Brien Mcmahon, Assistant At
torney General, contended the
court has decreed overlapping a
part of "the general law of the
land"
Claims Ruling Obsolete
Renkoff, who was convicted in
Federal Court in New York of
possessing stolen bonds after
$4,000 Of Italian bonds were
stolen three years ago, has petl-
toned for a writ of review.
He urged the court to reopen
the Olmstead case in which it, by
a five-to-four decision during the
prohibition era, held overlapping
legal. In a dissenting opinion JUS
tice Brandeis characterized wire
tapping as dirty business"
Renkoff's attorney, David P.
Siegel, said that the original de-
cision was handed down when
organized gangs were violating the
prohibition law on a national
scale, and argued:
"The prohibition law has
since been repealed and the con-
ditiOn of affairs in which great
aggregatiOnS were organized on
a national scale has passed.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 16 G.N.SD
Governor Alfred M. Landon likes
ice cream and cake-it'S favorite
with him.
This is on the word Of Benja-
min F. Brown, colored chef of his
private car. Says Brown:
"The Governor likes just
about everything. One of his
favoriteS is fish. And soup is
another. Then there's fruits
and pie. He likes to MUNICH an
apple and he loves apple pie.
But 1 guess you got to put

Through a queer turn of fate

and largely native-born American
citizens in our Nations Capital,

"Believe it or not" but it is true,
The Constitution prevents this
and it will take q constitutional
amendment to right this wrong.
Such an amendment was intro.
duced in the last Congress but it
did not pass. A similar one will
be submitted at this new Congress
in January. We plead with our
new Congressman-Elect Wa d e
Kitchens of Magnolia, and also
our able Senators, Joseph T. Rob
inson and Hattie Caraway, to sup
port 1t.
There Is no reason why these
Americans cannot vote. They pay
taxes. They fight in times of war.
They support the Constitution and
Government in all its phases. So
why can't they vote? It is that
old abuse for which we fought for
independence and got it: Taxa
ton without representation"
The makers of the Constitution,
probably through an oversight,
failed to give Congress the power
Of granting representation in Con-
gresS, and in the electoral college,
to the population of the District.
Then this district was just a
name, just site for the Nations
Capital. But today it is large
district with over a half million
Americans.
We support this proposed con-
stitutional amendment. Every
Arkansan and every American
should. We would raise a great
hue and cry If we were not al
lowed to vote. That is our own
sacred inheritance and we cherish
it above everything else.
During the last fiscal year the
District of Columbia paid in ma

No, she turns first to the society

HOLLAND

Although it doesn't resort to
promotion and advertising to any
great extent, Holland always has
a fair share of tourist traffic.
Travellers who know Holland
invariably return time and again
to enjoy the unique charm and
the pastoral scenes of a land that
remains picturesque despite
changing conditions.
From the first glance Holland
seems like something from a pic
ture book, and this impression re-
mains whether one visits fashion
able Scheveningen or busy Rotter-
dam.
There are flat, green fields
where black and white cows
Craze, low, white farm houses,
wind mills etched against the
sunny skies and the network of
canals, fringed by reeds.
And don't forget Gelderland
where flocks of sheep wander
over purple heather, and iceland

and picturesque peasants.

favorite excursion spots reached by
tidy steamers down the Zuyder Zee

Play the Game Here

Several thousand Washingtonians today are in Phila
delpha watch Of the greatest of the annual sports
spectacles-the football game between Annapolis and
West Point.
Washington has particular interest in both of these
national schools and that it has tremendous feeling
over the football rivalry evident from the number going
from here to todays game.
This interest makes all the more regretabe that the
city has been able entertain in the annual Army
Navy game.
There is only why the game has been
played here.
THAT REASON IS THE DEPLORABLE LACK OF
A STADIUM ADEQUATE TO ACCOMMODATE THE
HUNDRED THOUSAND PERSONS WHO ANNUALLY
WATCH THE CONTEST WHEREVER 1T IS HELD
There isn't any secret about the fact that the heads
of the institutions and the heads of the departments
would really like to have the game played in the Ma
onal Capital if not every year then at least alternate
years.
And Ue believe that the country as JVhOLe IVOuLd
like to see these twO essentially national teams bring
their spectacular rivalry to the essentially national
city.
Until the city has an adequate stadium however it is
useless to expect the game to be played here.
Consequently Washington should unite behind the
movement to have proper stadium constructed here
Plans for such stadium to be built in connection with
the much-needed National Guard Armory are already
projected
Such stadium would of course be available for other
purposes than the annual football game.
