~ the House of Representa-
~ tives on Monday, for it was
4 a then that the conference
report repeating "the little red
rider" was adopted by a vote Of
1872 to so. The compromise be-
tween the Senate and House on
this measure was made possible
by the adoption OF clause de-
claring that the repeal shall not
be construed as permitting the
advocating OF communism" The
Presidents signature to the bill on
Friday wrote f1nis to this chapter
Of bigotry, recrimination and civic
discord.
The House also on Monday passed
four bills called up by Chairman
Norton. These were H. r. 1852,
amending the marriage laws Of the
District by raising the age for
consent to marriage to l8 years In
the case Of males and l6 years
In the case Of females; H. r. 6696,
amending the healing arts licensure
law so as to obviate the necessity
for special acts of Congress for
some practitioners who had not
applied for license within the spe-
cited time; H. r. 5ll0, to license
certain practitioner of the heal
ing arts without regard to the time
limitation for filing applica ton as
provided by law, and H. r. 6242,
being bill to protect the buyers
Of potatoes In the District OF Co.
lumbia.
The House bill, H. R. 1894, op-
posing nuisance industries in the
District, reported by Representa-
tive Norton, was the subject of
considerable controversy and met
with serious opposition, ostensibly
because the committee had held
no hearings. Finally, at the re-
quest Of Chairman Norton, the bill
was sent back to the committee
for hearings to be held.
The Senate Subcommittee on
Appropriations has continued hear
ings on the 1888 District supply
bill under its chairman, Senator
Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma. Many
citizen representatives have been
heard and there still remains a
long list OF those who have request
ed the privilege Of appearing be-
fore the committee 1t is too early
to have any indication as to changes
which the Senate committee will
make in the bill.
1t is believed that some of the
riders which remained in the bill
as passed by the House will be
eliminated. The one good thing
produced by the little red rider
is the increasing unpopularity Of
riders on appropriation bills.
The bill to license and regulate
real estate brokers and statesmen
in the Disrtcit of Columbia, H. R.
$3.50, was called up in the House
on Monday by Chairman Norton,
but there was objection raised to
its consideration. BY unanimous
consent, she was permitted to with
draw the bill. This bill proposes
to create real estate commission
and is similar to bills passed by
the Senate during the last six
years.

of $4,000 is desired. Other items
requested were to acquire a site in
the vicinity of Eleventh and G streets
southeast for new elementary school,
and appropriate $4,000 for co.tinu-
ance of the Receiving Home. The
lump sum contribution of the Fed
eral Government to the District gov
ernment was asked to be increased
along with the request that the gaso-
line tax be kept for highway main-
tenance and not diverted for other
uses,

New Local Tax Bill
To Be Ready on Tuesday.

ITO THE Commissioners was given
the task of putting the District
tax bill in shape for final action
by the subcommittee of the House
District Committee on Tuesday
next. Chairman Kennedy's sub
committee on Thursday agreed
upon five-point program to be
worked out in proper detail by the
Commissioners. The plan includes:
l. An income tax on corporations
and individuals. 2. A motor vehicle
weight tax. g. An estate and in
heritance tax. l. A business priv
ilege tax, and an increase in the
tax on insurance premium receipts.
The estimated yield of these
taxes in additional revenue is
placed at s7,oOO,000. though it is
understood to be the determination
OF the committee to hold the
amount to the estimated deficit of
S6.149 000 based on the appropria-
ton bill as passed by the House.
II the deficit is increased through
the addition of items or increases
OF appropriations by the Senate
the Commissioners are given au-
thority to introduce parking meters.
1t is proposed also to continue
the tax on Intangible personal
property until after test of the
constlt,ltlonaity of the income tax
law. The Commissioners will still
have authority to increase the tax
rate on real estate if there is an
indicated deficit after all Of these
new varieties of taxes become ef-
fective.
Throughout the week there were
indications that a sales tax would
be enacted instead of an income
tax, but so determined was the
opposition and with the indications
OF the matter becoming a political
issue it was discarded.
1t has been rather a surprise to
the civic groups that the commit
tee discarded the proposed gaso-
line tax. Such increase had been
advanced so persistently that it
was about taken for granted that
it would be imposed whether need
ed or not.
The weight tax on motor vehi-
cles is to be substituted for the
present ST registration fee upon
which the tags are issued. The
personal property tax on automo-
biles is to be retained according
to the approved plan.
The estate tax and inheritance
tax provision are said to be mod
eled on the Maryland law and
with the exemptions and the 80 per
cent clause follow about along the
lines suggested by the Federation
Of Citizens Association
The bill has yet to have the ap-
proval Of the House District Com
mittee and the time is so limited
before the beginning of the new fs-
cal year, when it will become effec-
tive, that there will be small op-
portunity for the civic groups to
analyze it and submit their views.
To certain extent the civic groups
have been waiting cautiously for
something definite to consider in
the way Of tax proposals., but the
time factor may now interfere seri-
ously in their having an effective
part in the final shaping of this
legislation.

JENCKES' BILL
HITS RACKET IN
DRUG TRADE

Legislation designed to break up
q new type Of racketeer activity
today, was being drafted for intro
duction in the House by Repre-
sentative Virginia E. Jenckes CD,
Of Indiana.
While not as directly death
dealing as some of the other more
notable practices Of gangsters,
this new racket, Mrs. Jenckes
points out, is even more cruel.
She said, that it was revealed
to her during recent months by
a group of druggists who related
that gangsters have turned to
"counterfeiting" various patent
medicines and distributing them
in the ordinary channels Of the
drug trade.
INK SOLD FOR IODINE
The worst part of it Is. she
points out, these counterfeit"
medicines do not contain the
proper ingredients, explaining
that one case was detected in
which red ink had been placed in
bottles which were labeled "io-
dine" and in some way became
marketed in the regular trade
channels.
Under present law, the Indi-
anian said, offenses of this kind
are held to be only miSdemeanors
and the penalty Is a maximum
of $500 fine or one year in jail.
Mrs. Jenckes feels that the Of
fense should become one OF a Fed
eral nature, and that the penalty
should be raised to $4,000 fine
and 10 years in prison.
She has discussed the problem
with both the pure food officials
in the Department Of Agriculture
and the heads of the Federal Blu
reau of Investigation and the De
partment of Justice. 1t is under
stood that they have shown con-
siderable interest in Mrs. JenckeS'
proposal to make the offense IN
question a felony and make the
penalty for one convicted of it as
heavy as she proposes.
Draft Is Difficult
Mrs. Jenckes is finding some
difficulty in drafting her proposal
so as it will do what she desires.
She said:
"YOu know, the word counter.
felt has always been applied
only to money. must phrase
my bill so that we can take care
of this situation.
TT is terrible to think that
these gangsters can make these
spurious medicines and put them
on the market with the possible
result Of killing some ailing pa
tient who takes them in the be-
lief that he is taking something
that will do him good.
"Just how these racketeerS get
these medicines on the market
/ have not been able to find out.
The representatives of the drug
trade who brought this situation
to my attention have carried on
an intensive investigation to try
to determine, but as far as 1
know they have not been able
to determine.
81 am afraid that some poor
child who has, say, pneumonia,
will be prescribed for by a doc
tor, the medicine obtained from
a drug StOre-sOme patent medi-
cine, perhapS-and it will be
found that it contains something
that not only will not aid the
child, but will, in fact, only add
tn itS misery" "

FOOD,
DRUG BILL
International News servIes


The Copeland pure food and
drugs bill, passed by the Senate,
faced stiff opposition in the House
today.
Senator Copeland CD Of New
York. anticipated sharp opposition
to the bills provision for regula-
ton of food, drugs and cosmetics
advertising by the Department Of
Agriculture. He pointed out that
a large House bloc insists that the
advertising section be admins
tered by the Federal Trade Com
mission. This bloc, he said, has
been chiefly responsible for the de-
feat of three similar measures in
as many years.
Copeland described the new bill
as "the best we have ever had"
It strengthens the regulatory pro-
visions Of the present act, and
gives the Department Of Agricul-
ture power to confiscate foods,
drugs and cosmetics manufac-
tured and sold in violation Of the
bill.

The JeW's Dilemma

He deplored "the tragedy of
anti-JewiSh blindness which has
recently caused $4,000 students
in Poland to be deprived of their
schooling for nearly three months
because Of anti-Jewish disorders. !"
The dilemma then Of the Polish
Jew is in part this: He is resented
by the Poles because of his ghetto
ways and his ghetto appearance
and dress. But if he seeks to
escape the ghetto and to become
deghettoized, he is equally re-
Sented.
He is damned either way and is
driven back deeper and deeper into
the shades and shadows of the
ghetto where he can achieve at
least q kind of protective colora-
ton and hide among his fellows.
Then the Pole says: Look at
these people. They are still living
in the Fourteenth Century. They
wear the clothes and think the
thoughts Of the Middle Ages. They
are remote from us. Alien. They
can never be assimilated to modern
manners and ideas. They are un-
changing and unchangeable,

University Riots

Polish students assault them
with clubs and with razor blades
attached to long sticks. Jewish
students fight back against heavy
odds. It is impossible to carry
on lectures. The universities are
closed.
At other times Polish students
refuse to sit in classes unless the
Jews sit on the opposite side Of the
0ornS. The Jews refuse to be con-
sidered as lepers or untouchables.
More riots. More university doors
closing.
The Stefan Batory University at
Wilma was reopened recently after
being closed for two months. In
this instance Jewish students
agreed to the segregation in
classes.
Dr.. Swietoslawki, the minister of
education, stated in the Sejm (the
congress) that the government
considers it impossible to issue
instructions for the segregation of
Jewish students in colleges and
universities"

The only reason that more

It's effect? The pogrom, aside

More Jews will be thrown upon

Effect of POgrOnas

The Polish Jew is not always
permitted the relative luxury of
dying Of slow starvation. He is
frequently killed in pogroms. This
to some extent accelerates the rate
Of progress Of the Jews elimina-
tion. It also affords an occasional
carnival at no cost whatsoever save
the lives and property Of a few
Jews.
A few months ago there was
a program in MinSk-Mazowiecki,
a small country town about 25
miles from Warsaw. It lasted
two days.
The official record reports the
following casualties: Two Jews
seriously injured, and an un-
known number beaten. Two
houses burned down; $50 houses
damaged, and most Of the mar
ket stalls destroyed.
