SCIENTISTS MAP

Campaign to En|ighten

Through Research.

A scientific attack on the problem
of alcohol-rivaling in scope the cam

tuberculosis-is being planned by the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science.
The association today made its first
public announcement of a new ap-
proach to the liquor problem known
as the Research Council on Problems
of Alcohol, the present membership
of which includes nearly 100 distin-
guished scientists and educators As
we'll as some outstanding citizens.
1t Is the councils plan to make
thorough, unbiased and strictly scien-
tific investigation of the problems re-
lated to the control Of alcoholic bev-
erages and to seek solutions through
q program Of unprecedented research
and education" DR.. F. r. Moulton.

superintendent Of st. Elizabeth's Hos

Details of Program.
Details of the councils program, as
outlined by DR.. Bowman, include a
six-point premise. the highlights of
which are: Prohibition was not sue
cessful. A large army of law enforce
ment officers with funds totaling
many millions of dollars was not able,
from 1920 to 1888, to prohibit the
sale and use Of alcoholic beverages.
Repeal has not been successful. Ex-
cesses and abuses are evident to all.
Under both prohibition and repeal
alcoholic beverages when used un-
wisely have caused inefficiency, dis
ease and death.
"At least two specific evils are recog-
nized by both vets and drys. These
are alcoholism and highway accidents
due to the use of alcohol. In respect
to many other aspects OF the alcohol
problem there is chaos of opinion.
There is danger of hasty and unwar-
ranted decisions in respect to the legal
control of the liquor business"

WITH THE GERMAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION IN SUDETENLAND,
Oct. 3.-Adolf Hitler personally as
sumed power over this former Czecho-
slovak territory in triumphant mill
tary procession today, declaring:
Never will this land be torn from the
Reich"
Following his armies through the
heart of Sudetenland, he made two
steps to accept guardianship Of all
Sudeten Germans and invite them to
join "our march into a great German
future"
At Wildenau, on the frontier, Sude-
ten Nazi Leader Konrad Henlein SYM
bolically handed the entire Sudeten
territory to him. At Eyer he was well
coined by cheering inhabitants and
formally took the Sudeten capital into
his expanding Germany.
Acclaimed as Liberator.
Through the 17-mile ride from
Wildenau at Eyer, Reichsfuehrer Hitler
was acclaimed as liberator. The
Fuehrer rode the entire distance
standing in an open automobile, his
face solemn and his arm ever raised
In salute.
The cortege moved slowly through
lines of cheering people. Soldiers were
stationed at intervals along the route.
Two armored cars preceded Hitler
and Henlein, who rode with him.
Behind their car came Gen. Walther
Won Reichenau, army corps command
ing officer; Joachim Won Ribbentrop,
German foreign minister, and Helm
rich Himmler, head of all German
police organizations.
A few cars back was Frau Henlein
and her three children. She had
greeted Reichsfuehrer Hitler at Wild
enau with bouquet.
Speaks in Market Place.
Hitler spoke in the market place of
Eyer, one Of the capitals" of Sude-
tenland, from a platform colorfully
surrounded by flower girls in their
picturesque costumes.
Over this Germany, this greater
Germany. is its shield, Is its sword
OF protection" the Fuehrer declared.
He stepped unexpectedly before
madly cheering crowds in the third
and most populous Of the four su-
detenland zones his troops will occupy
before Saturday.
Almost half of the six minutes Of
his speech was taken up by the crowds,
cheering and heiling their "liberator."
i greet not only you, but the entire
Sudetenland, which in few days will
belong to the Reich" he told them.
Welded together in units, we must
stand together. All must support each
other.
Deutschland is happy over these
days. The whole nation rejoices with
you. Your happiness is that Of the
100000 in the Reich that was
hitherto"
Refers to Population Growth.
The Fuehrer evidently was referring
to the fact that Germany's population
soon will be almost 100000.
Similarly, your sufferings of the
past period were also our sufferings,"
he went on. In this solemn hour let
us thank Almighty God that on our
way thus far He has blessed us, and
pray that under His guidance our
steps in the future may also be guided
right"
Thousands lined along cold, drizzly
streets were hoarse from cheering the

SUPREME COURT
HONORS CARDOzO
Brief EuIogy Is Paid Late
Justice as Tribunal
Opens New Term.
Fy the Associated Presa

Fs the Associated Press
The Supreme Court opened its new
1888 term today by paying tribute to
Associate Justice Benjamin N. Car
dozo. who died last July.
As soon as the black-robed justices
filed into the marble-columned cham
Der, Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes
delivered brief eulogy Of the late
jurist.
A vacant chair served as a reminder
that a successor to Justice Cardozo
has not yet been appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Declaring the court had suffered an
''irreparable loss" in Justice Cardoza S
death, the Chief Justice, who spoke
without referring to manuscript, re-
ferred to Justice Cardoza's career as
"one of the most illustrious in judicial
annals"
Justices Appear Refreshed.
The justices appeared refreshed by
the summer adjournment that began
last May 81. Some of them nodded
and smiled to friends in the courtroom.
Because of the absence of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who is in Hyde Park,
N. Y, the justices did not make the
opening day customary call at the
White House.
After adjournment Of the brief ses-
sion, Solicitor General Robert H.
jackson said argument of the T. v. A.
case had been postponed from October
II to November II because of the
nomination of one of the Govern
ments attorneys, John Lord O'Brian,
by the Republican party as its candi-
date for United States Senator from
New York.
The court, reassembling for an
eight-months term, found a bumper
crop Of litigation-including fresh at
tacks on major administration laws
awaiting its attention.
The first session after a summer
recess is limited to admitting attor-
neys to practice and hearing motions
For the next week, however, the eight
justices will be busy passing on ap-
proximately $50 petitions for review of
lower court decisions which have ac-
cumulated during the four-month ad-
journment.
Announcement of the action de-
cided upon will be made next Monday.
At that time arguments also will
begin on cases the court agreed last
spring to review. These include an
attack by 18 private power companies
on the constitutionality of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority Act.
Mooney Appeal Pending.
Among the petitions awaiting action
is an appeal by Thomas ]. Mooney,
serving life sentence in San Quentin
Penitentiary for completely in the 1915
Preparedness Day bombing in San
Francisco. He lost his fight for free
dom before the California Supreme
Court.
There also are several controversies
growing out of interpretations of the
National Labor Relations Act, includ-
ing the Ford Motor Co. case.
Most of the justices spent the recess
in quiet or travel. Chief Justice
Hughes was abroad for two months,
most of the time in Italy and Switzer-
land. Justice Stone made an extensive
automobile tour through the West
ern States and Canada and Justice
McReynolds spent some time on the
Pacific Coast.
The other members of the court
devoted their summers largely to farm
ing. Justice Butler has large Mary
land farm, Justice Reed a Kentucky
plantation, and Justice Roberts place
near Philadelphia.
