LIQUOR DEALERS
PROTEST BOOST
in D. C. TAXES
Higher Levy on Beer
Also ASSaiIed

Beer and liquor interests Of the
District and Maryland today pro-
tested the proposed increase in
taxes on beer and whiskey at a
hearing before the Nichols tax
subcommittee.
The dealers appeared against
the $1-per-barrel tax on beer and
the 50-cent increase per gallon in
the whiskey tax, as contemplated
in the proposed revenue bill for
the District, which is expected to
yield a total of $3,700,000.
LICENSES HIGHER
The principal witness was
Samuel Hoffberger, member Of
the board of directors Of the
National Brewing Company, Of
Baltimore, who told the subcom-
mittee that licenses in the Dis
trict are much higher than in
Maryland, making It necessary
for Washington outlets to sell at
prices in excess of those charged
in Baltimore.
He also told the subcommittee
that higher living costs and wages
in the District contributed in great
degree to the higher cost of beer.
PRICE FACTOR
Representative Jack Nichols CD
OF Oklahoma, chairman Of the SUBJ
committee, questioned Mr.. Hoff-
berger on the statement that high
costs throughout the country have
caused IAN appalling mortality"
in the beer industry.
isn't 1t true" Mr.. Nichols
asked, "that as soon as beer was
legalized, large number Of
brewers Sprang up like mush-
rooms throughout the country,
and that this may be the cause
of the Socalled appalling NOR
tality in the industry?"
Mr.. Hoffberger said that the
mortality was in great part due
to the necessity Of selling beer
at 10 cents glass instead Of the
preprohibition scent glass.
GREATER CONTROL
Representative Edward M. Dirk.
sen (R) of Illinois who Is opposed
to any increase in liquor taxes,
pointed out to the subcommittee
that when the liquor law for the
District was created, the higher
license fees were written into the
law instead Of gallonage taxes, as
now proposed, in order to give the
local government greater control
over the industry.
Representative Vincent Palmi.
sanio Cd Of Maryland also testi-
fled in opposition to the proposed
increases.
The Washington times., 1938-03-21

for future publication, but au'
thorities with normal hearing
facilities report the dialogue
went something like this:
Mr.. Roosevelt greeted Mr..
Green with an announcement
that differences Of opinion over
the form of Federal wage-hour
action would have to cease. The
President asked Mr.. Green what
he wanted. Mr.. Green recited
the well-known AFL program,
and then they got down to busi-
ness.
VXTHEN it was over they ap-
2 w peared to have come
around definitely to a bill which
may be as significant for what
1t does not include as for what
It will contain. There will be no
Federal board for one thing, no
wage differentials between vart-
Gus sections for another.
Instead there, will be flat
wage rate of something less than
40 cents an hour, and a flat hour
rate, the exact amounts to be
determined by negotiation. En-
forcement will be left to the De
partment Of Justice. Labor will
be authorized to report viola
tions. ...
Basic idea is the maximum
hour.minimum wage figures will
be cut low enough so differen-
tialS will not be demanded, and
thus enough Congressional votes
may be rounded UP to reverse
the action Of the House killing
the earlier wage-hour bill.
THE Administration also is
i supposed to have a neat
plan for handling the bill in
Congress. The House calendar
will be cleaned up as far as pos
sible so that only this one piece
of legislation will stand between
the House and adjournment for
summer campaigning. Then
Mr.. Roosevelt will turn on the
Administration Turkish bath
system with direct sweltering
publicity pressure.
Administration Strate g lists
think it will work, and it prob
ably will.

are overburdened with U. S.
Government orders. Some ef-
fort then was made to get the
cooperation of U. s. officials
so the French order could have
priority, but this failed. The
French will, therefore, have to
be satisfied with a few bombers
upon which they have been
promised early delivery.

mentS. Only the other day the
opposition in British parliament
protested because the British
government let other nations
have a few planes of a type they
did not need.
But what puzzled some U. S.
officials was why the French
wanted so many planes 50 fast.
The Spanish loyalist explana-
tion did not seem to cover the
situation fully.

traitorous in the House a few
days earlier.
Huli's indirect explanation was
that the two governments are
exchanging information and
comforting constantly concern
ing world problems affecting
them both with the purpose Of
proceeding along parallel lines.
But he indicated this Govern
ment is retaining at all times
its independence Of Judgment

He put the idea in q single
sentence saying the momentous
question today is whether the
doctrine of force shall become
enthroned once more and bring

a relapse into barbariSm; or
whether this and other peaceful

stances, their traditional poll
cies and practices, and their en-
lightened self-interest may die
tate-to promote and preserve

as the unshakable basis Of civil
lized international relations"
This abstraction will not sat
isfy critical legislators, even
though it accurately presents
the situation. What congress
men want is a statement NAM
ing names so it will constitute
a promise not to go any further.
