Today it's so easy to "alkalize'' excess acids
anywhere you are. Now when distress comes
at home all you do is take tablespoonful Of
liquid Phillips Milk Of Magnesia. When you
are out with others, simply slip Phillips Tab
lets in your mouth like you would candy mints.
That's all you do to feel wonderful.
Either form of Phillips works the same way
very quickly. You can't beat it for welcome
fast relief from after eating distress. Almost at
once you feel '"gas," nausea, that "lumpy
feeling from hyper -acidity begin to ease. Acid
headaches, "acid breath" are corrected right
at the source.
It's wonderful way to free yourself from
distress and embarrassment. And as you prob

BI0FF IS ORDERED
REMANDED TO JAIL
Hollywood Union Leader Loses
Fight For Release From
Old Sentence

CHICAGO, March 15.-CP-Wil-
liam (Willie) Bioff who rose from a
job in a Chicago saloon to leader
ship of $4,000 Hollywood movie
unionists, lost his criminal court
fight today for release from an 49,
year-old six month sentence for pan
dering.
Chief Justice John Prystalski re-
fused to grant Bioff's petition for a
habeas corpus writ and ordered him
remanded to the house of correction.
but delayed entering the order until
March rs, thus giving the stocky
39-year-old labor leaders counsel
time to appeal to the state supreme
court. Meanwhile the court contin-
ued Bioff's bond of $4,000.
State Senator Abraham Marovitl,
attorney for the one time tough
kid" of Chicago's west side, declined,
however, to outline the next step for
his client, who he said, had rehabili.
tated himself despite the handicap
of having lived his early life amid
crime, thieves, and even murderers.
Marovitz, also contended the state
had been guilty of neglect and I'm.
due delay in proceeding against his
client.
This court" said Judge Prystal.
ski, "has no pardoning power" after
commenting that Bioff had remained
in Chicago more than ten years aft.
err his conviction and that he had
married and lived a decent life"
eff the situation is as stated" the
court added, "it is a matter of exc.
cutive clemency. The pardoning
power is in the hands Of the execu-
tive department."
Bioff, who is chief of the Inter.
national Alliance of Theatrical and
Stage Employees, as we'll as chairman
Of the conference of studio unions.
made no comment on the decision.
But h. told newsmen when he flew
here Feb. 20 to surrender on the old
charge that he vas being prosecuted
by Communists, the CLIO, big money
interests, and the government"
A federal grand jury indicted him
at Los Angeles last January on an
income tax evasion charge.
Bioff's troubles began last fall
when records showed he had served
only a fe days of the p%andering
sentence, which was upheld by the
Illinois appellate court. He lost a
long extradition fight, and then came
to Chicago, where he related the
story Of his spectacular rise to power
from the witness box in Judge Pa
stalski's court.
