Million BusheI Saving
Promised by Brewers
In Voluntary Program

The Nations brewers began today
three months of shorter grain rs-
tions as their contribution in the
food conservation drive.
+ Some $50 brewers of beer and ale
launched voluntary program de-
signed to save 100000 bushels of
grain a month under pledge signed
by the United States Brewers Foun-
dation and the Smalf Brewers Com
mittee.
The brewers plan to cut the use
of corn by Is per cent. They will
use no wheat or wheat products, no
table quality rice or rice products
and no feeding barley for 80 days.
Corn savings are estimated at ESQ.,
600 bushels monthly.
The brewers have agreed that, If
total savings drop below 100000
bushels monthly, they will further
reduce their corn consumption.
Taste Will Not Change.
Little or no change in the taste
or quality of beer is expected, the
brewers say, unless difficulty arises
in finding starch substitutes for the
curtailed grains.
Other developments on the food
front include:
l. Chairman Charles Luckman OF
the Citizens Food Committee an
nounced the dropping of court
proceeding intended to keep a
Kentucky distillery running dur
ing the liquor industry shutdown
The action came voluntarily from
the Heaven Hill Distributing Co.,
whose head, Oliver Jacobson, au-
thorized Mr. Luckman to announce
withdrawal of the suit to force the
Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc, to
continue operation.
Mr.. Luckman previously had an
nounced that the 60-day liquor
shutdown, which began week
ago, was SO per cent effective.
Sugar Said Plentiful.
2. A survey by the Associated
Press indicates good supplies OF
sugar are available throughout the
Nation, despite some runs on the
product before price controls ended
Friday midnight. Sugar brokers
and retailers generally agreed no
price increase is in sight at this
time. Good crops both of domestic
beets and Cuban cane make the
supply plentiful.

ParochiaI Bus Issue
Before Supreme Court
By the Assoeioted Press

The Supreme Court was asked
Yesterday to rule that a public
school board must pay transporta-
ton of pupils to Catholic parochial
schools.
The court decided last February
that public funds raised by taxation
may be used for that purpose. But
it did not rule whether school
board could refuse legally to approve
such expenditures.
Now it is asked to do so in an
appeal by Paul Connell, whose To-
year-old daughter attends st. Pat
rick's Parochial School in Kennett
Square, Pa, near Philadelphia.
Mr.. Connell said the township
school board provides free bus serv-
ice for pupils attending public
schools but refused to transport his
daughter to the parochial school.
The school board contended that
using public funds for that purpose
would violate the Pennsylvania con-
stitutional provision that mo money
raised for support of the public
schools shall be used for support OF
any sectarian school"
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court
upheld the school board.
In appealing to the United States
Supreme Court, Mr.. Connell said he
was denied rights guaranteed by the
Federal Constitution, including the
right of freedom of religion and the
right to equal protection of law.

NAM Asks Tax Relief
For Venture Capital
By the Associated Press

LEESBURG, Va, Aug. 30-Earl
Bunting, president of the National
Association of Manufacturers, told
the Leesburg Rotary Club that the
Nations tax system must be revised
to free venture capital which "alone
can spell more jobs. better jobs,
steadily rising real wages, more
goods, more purchasing power"
He described venture capital" as
the savings people can afford to
risk on long chances" and added:
Venture capital is investment
made in the face of very real
chance that part or all Of the money
put up may be lost. 1t can't come
from Government funds, savings
deposits, or insurance company
premiums. 1t can't come from people
who shouldn't risk their shirts. But
it can come from one source which
is now damned up.
Bureau of Labor Statistics studies
show that relatively little venture
capital can be tapped in incomes
under $4,000. But on incomes over
this amount, the present tax dollar
represents 20 cents taken from con-
sumption and 80 cents from savings
which would otherwise be available
for venture capital"
Mr.. Bunting declared the collec-
twists pin their hope on maneuver-
ing the few remaining democratic
countries into emasculating their
own capital; then the collectivists
would collect accounts which they
consider long past due-your neck
and mine. and the neck of every
American who has a savings account
or an insurance policy to safeguard
his family"

Mr.. Taft dominates the Senate be-

Speaker Martin and other old timers

Taft would be the last to character

Mr.. Taft has learned much from

Too Many Jokers in Pact.
1t is true that when Moscow de-
cioed to withdraw it's forces from
Iranian territory the Teheran gov
eminent accepted the Kremlin's de-
mands for creation of an oil COM
pany which nominally is Iranian
and Russian, but which in fact is
controlled by the Soviet govern
ment. A treaty granting the oil
concession was drafted, but the
Russians were told that final ap-
proval had to come from Parlia-
ment.
Parliament apparently does not
like the character of the agreement,
and has been slow taking it into
consideration. 1t had too many
jokers in it. Today it looks like
the ITanian legislature will not &C
cept the agreement unless some
major changes are accepted by
Moscow.
Russia, however, does not want
to listen to any amendments. 1t
is a matter of take-it- -leave-it. Fore
seeing the possibility that the Te-
heran Parliament might abandon
the agreement, the Kremlin has de-
cided to start moving troops from

master of details. A little harder
work on the part of the workers,
for example, will solve the problem
of labor and production. That is
the real meaning, in his mind, of

A little less coddling of the un-
fortunate part of the population

that has made America great among

it that way. No more New Deal
nonsense and no more flirting with
communist theology. National

lied medicine and therefore to be
abhorred. The poor we have al
ways with us and charity is the
answer to their problem. Leave
such matters in the hands of the

The same goes for such material
matters as electric power. Valley

Formula on Prices.
Just as labor has had too much
freedom in recent years, business
has had too little. Take off the
controls and keep them off. Prices
will come down in due time, if
everybody works hard at reasonable
wages and produces plenty. That
formula, in Mr. Tafts opinion, has
worked in the past and there's no
reason why it should not work in
the future.
AS for our foreign policy, the
chief undertaking is to bring the
rest of the world to emulate our
manner of life. Certainly" says
Mr.. Taft, and this is a quotation,
I'VE must move very cautiously and
be sure that foreign loans really
furnish incentive to the foreign
peoples involved to work harder to
support themselves and are not too
burdensome on our own taxpayers" ?"
The philosophy here outlined will
serve as the basis of the Taft
speeches and the people who turn
out to hear them probably will like
them we'll enough. After all, the
people who are likely to turn out
are people who think the same
way, particularly when times are
good, as is now the case.

This Changing World
New Soviet.Iran Crisis Seen in Offing
AS Teheran Fails to Ratify Oil Pact

In addition TO these troops dis
contented elements-Kurds, liberals
who took refuge in Soviet Azerbai-
jan, and other such elements-have
been modified, re-armed and sent
to various sensitive points on the
Soviet -Iranian border.
Premier Qavan and the rest of the
government are more deeply con-
cerned over the new developments
than they were in the spring OF
1916. At that time the United Ma
tions looked healthier than 1t Is to-
day. Moreover, the British crisis
had not become as acute as it is
now. Iran felt that she could rely
on the collective support of the
United Nations.
Britain is no longer in position
to take a strong stand in interna-
tional affairs, eregardless of how
much her interests in Iran are
threatened. This explains why
Foreign Secretary Bevin Informed
the Teheran government last week
that it must do everything in its
power to comply with Russia's de-
mands and avoid another crisis at
any price.
u. s. Attitude Unchanged.
The United States has not changed
the attitude it assumed last year.
1t has advised the Iranian govern
ment to meet the Russian requests
more than half way, but at the same
time refusing to blackjack Parlia-
ment into appeasing Russia.
As has been customary for several
years now, the Soviets are backing
their diplomatic representations with
a quiet concentration of forces on
the border. The Iranian army has
not improved much since last year
and is in no shape to offer re-
sistance. The authority of the
United Nations also has declined,
particularly since the USSR has
begun to make free use of her veto,
which stymies any effort to settle
international disputes by peaceful
means.
All the same, Premier Qavam does
not feel that he can comply with the
drastic demands of the Soviet gov
ernment and, while realizing the
military weakness of his country, is
still looking around for some solu-
ton which will not place Iran be-
hind the iron curtain, in fact if not
il form.
