Less Than Pint
Will Do 1t, Says
Science Note

Under ordinary conditions, less
than a pint Of whiskey will render
a person irresponsible and classify
him as being drunk, scientifically
speaking.
This was the statement yester-
day by DR.. Thorne M. Carpenter,
of the Carnegie Institution, who
pointed out that analysis of a sin
gle drop of blood can possibly de-
termine how much alcohol a per-
son has consumed.
Adding that two-tenths Of l per
cent Of alcohol in the blood
stream was sufficient to cross the
line between Sobriety and intoxica-
ton, DR.. Carpenter said that less
than pint of whiskey would pro-
vide that amount.

ROBERT URGES
INDUSTRIES TO
M0VES0UTH

Decentralization Of the auto.
mobile and rubber industries and
relocation of the paper and pulp
and woolen manufactures by
utilizing Southern labor in South.
ern cities will be advocated
shortly as a remedy for the ma
tion'S industrial ills, Lawrence J.
Chip" Robert, former Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, de-
clared today.
The prescription, sought by the
outstanding pacemakers of the in,
dustries involved, will be written
by Robert & Co., the industrial
engineering firm headed by the
one-time Georgia Tech football
hero who henceforth will make
his headquarters here.
Automobile activities in the
South now center at Atlanta. Ga,
where two of the leading manu-
facturerS maintain assembling
plants, Robert explained. The rec
ommendation of his firm, he
added, will be that manufactur-
ing establishments be placed by
three Of the leading automakers
at Memphis, Tenn, and Dallas
and Fort Worth, Texas.
Lean TO South
The rubber industry already
has been convinced of the ad
visibility of Southern factory loca
tionS, according to Mr.. Robert, by
the experience of the Goodyear
Company at GadSden, Ala. Elk
perts of the Robert firm will pro
pose several other centers in that
area, the former Treasury man
said. as preferable to Akron and
other Midwest points.
AS proposed focal points fol
paper and pulp production, Robert
said, the cities of Shreveport, La.
Macon, Ga, and Charlotte, N. c.,
have been decided upon. Trans
portation facilities, raw material
supplies and availability to con
sumptive outlets all contributed to
the selections, it was pointed out
Robert emphasized that his
firms recommendations were pro
poSals which might not necessarily
be followed. 1t is recalled, how.
ever, that the Robert firm is gen.
orally credited with playing no
small part in the exodus of North.
ern textile firms to the South
following the World War.
Capital Interested
The emigration of wooden tex
tile companies to the South was
prophesied by Robert as a posi-
bility created by modern develop
ments in air conditioning which
could reproduce manufacturing
conditions previously believed in
digenouS to the North. "a great
deal of foreign capital is inter-
ested in this move, Robert said.
Robert denied that the proposals
OF his firm constituted an attempt
to take advantage of So-called
cheap labor" At the same time
he described as "over-zealous" and
misguided" efforts of Southern
municipalities to attract Northern
enterprise to that section through
subsidies of rent-reduction and
wage depression.

RACKET GUILT

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. July
2O.-Answering in his own de-
tense to indictments charging him
with IA counts of malfeasance
while in office and is counts Of
conspiracy, Herbert j. Moffat,
former justice of the peace, to-
day admitted that he had made
routine" changes in his official
records, but fatty denied ever
taking any part Of bond fees,
fines, or collateral funds.
Moffat said he had made
changes in his records only when
some defendant in traffic case
told him a pathetic story of dras-
tic results if he were prosecuted.
At other times, Moffat continued,
he made changes when attorneys
told him that alterations had been
sanctioned by police court attend
ants.
The witness denied having any
understanding with the five po-
hcemen and one bondsman who
also are standing trial on con-
spiracy charges.
Harry C. Byrd, president of the
University of Maryland, took the
stand briefly as a character wit
ness for the seven defendants.

WOOD REVIEW
BOARD NAMED

After receipt of a special trial
boards verdict indicating Will
liam r. Wood, superintendent of
garbage collections. Of is charges
recently lodged by his subordi-
mates, the District Commissioners
today employed the unusual pro-
cedure of naming a board of re-
view Of three assistant corporation
counsels to comb the findings Of
the trial board.
Engineer Commissioner Dan I.
Sultan, when asked regarding this
action, said:
"The Commissioners want to
be absolutely fair in this mat
ter. The Board of Review will
be in the nature Of a court
of appeals. II will give every
one interested q chance to be
heard"
The Wood trial brought hints
from garbage collectors affiliated
with a union of a strike unless
the trial board made a proper
decision. Outstanding accusa-
ton against Wood was forcing his
to contribute each pay
day to a collection for an aged
colored woman known as Aunt
Mary" He also was accused of
forcing his employees to buy pro-
duce from him at exorbitanr
prices and compelling them 70

Says Commissioners
Have Made Passage
Nov Impossible

All hope of passing any District
tax bill at this session of Congress
was abandoned today by congress
sional leaders concerned with the
problem.
Representative Vincent L., Pal
miSano, chairman of the House
District Committee, attributed the
impaSse to the following reasons
An "unsympathetic'' House.
Failure Of the District Com.
missioners 10 present . definite,
cryStaliZed tax program at the
outset of the present session OF
Congress. .t. !,
Failure III the commissioners
TO exercise the power they now
possess to increase the Districts
real estate tar rate.
AS a sequel to the action of the
House yesterday in refusing to
grant the commissioners the au-
thority to borrow money from the
Federal Government to meet ex-
penditures during the current fis-
cal year, Chairman PalmiSano saw
an end to the efforts to bring the
House and Senate into agreement
with the commissioners on any
kind Of a tax program. i
Palmisano said: s
an my opinion the House is
unwilling to pass any tax pro-
gram thus far presented to it.
1t is unSympathetic to the Dis.
trict and unwilling to accept
the recommendation of the
District committee or of the
Senate.
II blame the Commissioners
for this situation, believing that
If they had come to us with q
definite program when Congress
first met it could have been put
through without trouble.
"They have also refused to
exercise their auth E'ity to in
crease the real estate tax rate,
and this was responsible for
much of the opposition of the
House to giving them the au.

money to meet TIE expected

Surprise Move Taken

President Roosevelt and Vice
President Garner had an hours
conference at the White House
today, discussing the legislative
situation and the Democratic
revolt against the Roosevelt
court plan. Garner had Just re-
turned from a months vacation
in Texas.
With the Senate thrown into
turmoil by the death of Senator
Robinson, Democratic leader, ad.
journment until Thursday was
voted to permit the majority to
choose a new leader before getting
down to business again. K
3 This surprise m owe, made
shortly after the Senate met at
noon, was accompanied by reports
that opponents Of the Roosevelt
court reorganization program
would move to recommit the court
bill when it meets Thursday or at
the first opportunity thereafter
This decision, it was said in a we'll
informed quarter, was reached as.
the train bearing mourners' from
Little Rock was nearing Wash
ington last midnight.
Opponents of the Presidents
court program were said to be con-
WINGED that they had the votes to
send the measure back to the Jus
dietary Committee, which only a
few weeks ago condemned it in I'M
Sparing language in laying it be-
fore the Senate membership.

An immediate vote on the motion
to recommit is not expected by
those in charge of the fight to de-

pate that the administration forces
will debate it for a day or two, If
not longer, and that a vote finally
will be reached toward the end of

Senate Democrats will choose a
