Rules Committee
Resolution Proposes
Inquiry on ACCESSIBILITY
Of Establishing System

The House Rules Committee had
before it today for consideration a
resolution providing for an investi-
cation to determine the advisable
ity of having the District govern
ment take over the retail liquor
business by establishing dispensary
system.
The resolution, introduced by Rep
resentative Shepard, Democrat, of
California, directs that the inquiry
be made by the House District Com
mittee.
Adoption of the dispensary plan
would force 400 class A liquor deal
ers out of business, and make their
present profits available to the Dis
trict Information has been given
Mr.. Sheppard that these profits
would make unnecessary enactment
of proposed new tax legislation, the
heart of which is combination
per cent retail sales tax and a tax
on personal income in excess of
$4,000 a year
Would Sell Packaged Goods.
The dispensary plan suggested in
Mr.. Sheppard's resolution is pat
termed after the one in operation in
Pennsylvania. District operated
liquor stores would handle off-saN
package goods, while hotels, lunch
rooms and night clubs would be al
lowed to continue selling liquor by
the drink
A dispensary system for the Dis
trict was first considered when the
present liquor control law was be-
fore Congress, but was rejected by
the House.
No estimates are available as to
the profits of the 400 class A liquor
dealers who would be hit by a dis.
pensary plan. Records at the Dis
trict Building show only the total
amount of alcoholic beverages of all
kinds sold in the District by all
classes of licensees. The class A
dealers, however are said to handle
the largest quantity.
Figures Reveal Quantity.
The latest records reveal that in
1888 the local tax was paid by all
classes of licensees on the following
quantity of alcoholic beverages:
Spirits, 2,3O2,249 wine gallons.
Alcohol, 538 wine gallons.
Beer, 215,789 barrels of 81 gallons
each.
Champagne, 1926 wine gallons.
Wines in excess of IA per cent al

push into the conflict with the allies,

Italy Complicates Matters.
The Balkans in particular have,

the ex-Kaiser and other German

There has been nothing Hitler

City Of Flint |d|es
Al Bergen, Awaiting
Decision on Course
U. S. Envoy Reaches Port
To Confer With Consul
And Vessels Captain
BY the Associated Press,

0y the Associated preSS.
OSLO, Norway, Nov. 6-Her
freedom assured by Norway's re-
lection of German protests. the
United States freighter City of
Flint idled at anchor today await
ing decision where her strange
voyage would take her next.
1t was apparent that Norwegian
officials, anxious over the possibll-
ity that Germany might make an
issue over the case, would like to see
the ship outside Norwegian waters
bound for anywhere.
Mrs. J. Borden Hartman, United
States Minister to Norway, arrived
at Bergen to confer today with the
United States consul there, Maui
rice P. Dunlap, and Capt. Joseph A
Gainard. master of the City of Flint.
and to talk with members of the
crew.
One rumor was that the ships
freight had been sold at Bergen,
but any such sale, it was believed,
would have to be tentative and de-
pendent on official decisions.
Cargo May Be Transferred.
The possibility was mentioned in
shipping circles that the freighter's
cargo of tractors, leather, fruit. wax
and other articles might first be
transferred to a British ship and
taken to England. There are sew
eral British merchantmen in the
the Bergen Harbor.
The freighter's freedom and the
internment of the Nazi prize crew
which took command of her on the
Atlantic October 9 was assured yes
terday when Norway rejected Nazi
protest.
The American crew, however, has
not yet been permitted to come
ashore.
The German prize crew, which
anchored the City of Flint in the
harbor of Haugesund Friday against
Norwegian officials orders. still was
interned aboard the Norwegian war;
ship Olav Tryggvason.
Claims Law Strictly Observed.
Norway based her rejection of
German protests over release of the
ship and detention of its German
crew on the argument that interna-
tional law had been observed strictly
in making the decision.
A communicate described at some
length diplomatic exchanges during
the times the City of Flint was in
Norwegian territorial waters, both
before she went tn MllrnanSk Soviet
Russia, and on her return toward
Germany.
The statement said the COM
mander of the German prize crew
took the City of Flint to Hauge-
sund contrary to Norwegian orders
because, he asserted, he wanted to
see the German consul there. "ac-
cording to orders from my govern
ment."

These developments relate princi-
pally to the Russian and Italian
raids into his preserves.
Mussolini pointed the situation
up at the weekend by overhauling
and strengthening his army. While
not officially explained, this un-
doubtedly is calculated not only to
bolster Italy's neutrality but to
ensure his place in the Balkans
and the Mediterranean zone.

4. Panamanian registry would not
prevent the ships from being sunk
If they were carrying contraband to
the allies. Since Panama could rot
conceivably pay for the ships, the
loss would undoubtedly fall on the
American owners.
1t was noted, however, that an
exception was made recently when
the commission approved the trans
fer of IA old vessels of the Moore
Mccormack interests Of New York
from the United States to Brazilian
registry. These vessels had been
sold to the Brazilian government,
and commission officials said the
transfer was approved in further
ance of the Roosevelt administra-
tion's good neighbor policy toward
Latin America.
Transfers Not Forbidden.
Although the new neutrality law
does not forbid transfer OF United
States ships to foreign registry,
commission representatives said. the
Shipping Act of 1916 authorizes the
commission to approve or reject ap-
plications for such transfers.
Officials refrained from discussing
what their attitude would be toward
any application the United States
Lines might submit. They said no
application had been received as yet.
The United States Lines is a pri-
vate company, and the Govern
ment holds mortgages on its largest
passenger ships, the Manhattan and
Washington. Reports from New
York said that, because of these
mortgages, the Manhattan and
Washington would not be included
In the transfer application AL
though the commission holds 40
mortgages on the other ships, COM
mission officials said they had been
receiving Federal operating sub
sides
Havoc Played With Shopping.
Shipping experts hold that the
neutrality law plays havoc with the
American merchant marine and
that the only alternative to foreign
registry is abandonment of profit
able routes.
Maritime Commission data show
86 American vessels totaling SOL ,719
tons would have to lie idle if foreign
registry is not sought. That's about
one-fourth of the tonnage the
United States now has on the high
seas. In all. it has 1926 ships in
foreign trade. total of 2,150,00c
tons of shipping.
These ships would lose about
$50,000000 in revenue annually
About 5000 seamen would be af-
fected. Some S27,000,0O0 usually
paid out each year for wages, food
repairs, insurance, fuel, and Wha'
not on the abandoned runs, nj
longer would be spent. Brokers, tug
crews, pilots and domestic agents
will lose another S6.5O0000.
Secretary of State Hull indicated
at his press conference that the
State Department might consul
with the Maritime Commission or
the matter of registry transfer How.
ever, he declined to comment direct
ly pending formal action by the
commission.
