Investigation Of Maryland
Liouor Laws Promised

BALTIMORE, Nov. IT tP,.-State
Senator James j. Lindsay, Jr., OF
Baltimore, chairman Of the legls-
lative council, promises a council
investigation of the entire liquor
law system of the State with a
view to improving existing statutes.
Mr.. Lindsay said the body would
ask county and city liquor boards
for recommendation and then
would study proposed legislation
suggested for submission to the
General Assembly.
I'VE are aware, of course, that
these are unusual times which will
not last much beyond the duration
of the war," he said. Accordingly,
We must be extremely careful about
recommending legislation which
would be applicable to the existing
emergency but would not apply in
normal times.
However, any suggestions for
curbing the shipment of liquor out
Of Maryland will be con-
sidered carefully by the council"
The announcement came shortly
after James Shea, secretary of the
Board Of Liquor License Commis-
sioners. said he would recommend to
the council that liquor laws be
amended to limit sales of bottled
goods to package stores and at a
time when stocks of hard liquors for
public use had reached new low.
Meanwhile, the Wicomico County
Liquor Control Board prepared for
formal rationing of liquor in the
county dispensary system TO prevent
runs" when liquor shipments are
put on sale.
The l943 General Assembly con-
sidered extensive changes in the
State liquor laws, but most of the
proposals prepared by commission
headed by William R McClayton,
Baltimore, were rejected after a long
controversy.

Moscow Pacis Hailed
BY Dulles as Move
Toward World Order
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-John
Foster Dulles, chairman Of the Com
mission on Just and Durable
Peace of the Federal Council OF
Churches, yesterday called the Mos
COW declarations "a notable step
taword realizing international order
as envisaged by our Six Pillars of
Peace" and "a great development
from the Atlantic Charter"
In statement issued by the Fed
eral Council Of Churches, Mr.. Dulles
said:
THE Christian forces OF this
country can be grateful that their
Government has co-operated with
the governments of Great Britain,
Russia and China to make a sound
beginning for world order"
Declaring that I'VE can legiti-
mately feel that we have done much
to create here public opinion that
has made this possible" Mr.. Dulles
added that the Moscow declara-
tions 60 only part Of the way. Even
then they are still words. To move
words into functioning institutions
infused with the spirit Of Christian
fellowship remains a political and
spiritual task of immense propor-
tions."
Mr.. Dulles, whose analysis of the
Moscow declarations from the view
point of the Six Pillars was approved
by the Executive Committee of the
council. said it marked a develop
ment from the Atlantic Charter,
which had planned no international
institutions nor made reference to
religious and intellectual freedom.
He said the Moscow statement
omitted dealing with colonial and
economic matters as advocated by
the Six Pillars and contained some
antiquities, but added that "the
positive aspects of the Moscow dec
laration are sound, rejecting as they
do any attempt to base world order
merely on the military alliance of a
few"

Pendergast Fails in Plea
For Executive CIemency
Py the Assoristed prass

BY the Associated Press.
The Justice Department has re-
fused to recommend executive clem-
ency for T. J. Pendergast, former
Kansas City Democratic leader, now
on parole after serving prison sem
tence on charges of income tax vio-
lation.
A petition asking clemency had
been filed by group of Kansas City
business and professional men.
1t was learned today, however,
that the department has disposed
of the plea by failing to forward II
to President Roosevelt with a IA
vorable recommendation.
Technically, a Communication OF
sentence was asked. That would
have relieved Pendergast of condi.
tions of his parole which, among
other things, bars him from politica
activity.
Federal Judge Merrill E. Otis re-
fused to recommend favorable ac-
ton on the clemency plea, but said
Pendergast had complied with the
terms of his parole in all respects.

District Housewives Warned
OF Refrigerator Price CeiIinqs

District housewives who offer ex-
ira electric refrigerators for sale
with the hope of making a neat
profit were warned today by the
District Office of Price Administra-
ton that there are ceiling prices
on refrigerators-even second hand
ones.
Robert K. Thompson. District OPA
director, said yesterday that he was
convinced many housewives involved
actually were ignorant of the fact
that refrigerators are under ceiling
prices and would not sell them if
they knew the low return involved.
Some householders, it developed
yesterday, have been complaining to
the OPA that they had sold their
refrigerators, presumably to other
only to receive letters
from the purchasers aHng the
prices violated ceilings.
Apparently what has happened,
the OPA said, is that secondhand

Jewish Massacre
In Kiev Described 10
Press by Witness
BY the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, Nov. l7.-An eyewit-
ness account of Jewish massacres in
Kiev during the early days of its
occupation by German troops has
been given the newspaper Izvestia
by Dmitris Grlov, a resident of Kiev
who said he saw hundreds Of men
and women stripped naked and then
shot at the edge of a gully into
which their bodies dropped on a
great pile.
In the account, distributed by
Tass news agency, Grlov related:
Several days after the Germans
entered Kiev 1 went to Lyovskaya
street. An incessant procession of
people was streaming through it
and both sidewalks we're lined with
German patrols. This human
stream kept flowing for three days
and three nights without inter-
ruption.
Clothing Loaded in Trucks.
The Germans were driving the
Jews to Babyi Var gully beyond the
city. I also stealthily made my way
to that place. I was able to stand
the sight Of what I saw there for
only 10 minutes and after that
everything went black before my
eyes.
The Germans forced people to
undreSs and then methodically
gathered their clothes and loaded
them on trucks. In separate trucks
they put underwear. Then they
tore off from naked people-there
were men and women among them
rings and watches, if they had any,
dragged them up shivering from cold
or mortal terror at the edge OF the
gully and shot them.
The Germans did not spend any
bullets on little children, but simply
hurled them alive into the gully.
Some Already Insane.
Those who were awaiting their
turn stood silently, or sang or even
laughed. I could see that those who
laughed were already insane.
And this thing lasted three days.
"All these whom the Germans as
yet did not drive to their death knew
what was in store for them. Old
men put on mourning clothes and
gathered in their homes for prayer
then went out to Lvovskaya street
Invalids were supported by others
and some were even carried.

said, for that informal and inti-
mate meeting of minds among those
who have to do with the mobiliza

intellectual resources that must be

lively engaged in war activities or
who come here for consultation, are
surest Of meeting each other. The

Data 10 Be Gathered
From u. 5. Agencies
For Liquor Inquiry
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The first step in the Senate's
liquor inquiry will be to gather
data already available in Gov
ernment departments to form
the basis for examining wit
nesses at public hearings, Chair
man Van NuyS of the investi-
eating subcommittee said today.
Following prompt Senate approval
late yesterday of the $4,000 fund
to make the inquiry, Senator Van
Nuys said he would announce as
soon as possible the appointment of
an investigator to delve into all
phases of the present whisky short
age, and the quality as we'll as
quantity of the brands being offered
for sale.
Kilgore Charges Racketeering.
At the same time, Senator Kill
gore, Democrat. of West Virginia, a
member of the Judiciary Subcom-
mittee, suggested the distribution
and sale of whisky are entering a
"racketeering phase"
The same thought was echoed by
Senator Thomas, Democrat. of Okla
homa. Although not a member Of
the subcommittee, he declared, "It
is already one of the most vicious
rackets in America"
He predicted that unless some
changes are made it will lead to an
other attempt at national prohibi-
ton.
O'Daniell Voices Similar View.
Senator O'Daniel, Democrat, of
Texas, author of pending bill to bar
intoXicants from military reserva-
tions, also expressed the opinion that
the present situation appeared to be
a step In the direction of prohibition
In statement, Owsley Brown,
president of the Distilled Spirits
Institute, said he hoped the investi-
CATION will show the real truth
about the dwindling whisky stocks
now in Government bonded ware
houses" and that confusing i'm
p-essions may be eradicated." He
added:
1--WE Of the distilling industry are
convinced that the Judiciary Com
mittee investigation will serve the
double purpose of having the Amer
lean consumer know the truth about
the whisky shortage and in making
clear that no other industry has
co-operated more effectively with
the Government in the production
of r-essential materials At the
same time the industry continues to
be the greatest source of govern
mental income from excise taxes"
Appropriation Approved.
The Senate lost no time in approv-
Ing the $4,000 appropriation when
Chairman Lucas of the Audit and
Control Committee reported 1t
favorably yesterday.
Under Senate rules, unanimous
consent is required to act on a reso-
luton the same day it is reported,
and Senator White, Republican, of
Maine, acting minority leader in
quired why immediate action was
needed.
Senator Van Nuys said it was de-
sired in order to lose no time in
putting investigators to work, so
that the committee may be ade-
uuately informed when public hear
ings start.
A new member probably will be
named to the investigating subcom-
mittee today to take the place OF
Senator Danaher, Republican, of
Connecticut. who said yesterday
other duties would prevent his
serving.
