Striner Gets { Months
$4,000 Fine for
Income Tax Evasion
BY the Associotsd Press

BALTIMORE. Mar. 30.-Ben-
jamin Striner. 41-year-old Wash
ington pharmacist and civic lead
er, was sentenced to six months
imprisonment and fined $4,000
in Federal Court yesterday for
attempted evasion of $59.522 in
income taxes.
A jury convicted him of failing
to report net earnings of about
$4,000 during the period 1928
inclusive.
Chief Judge William c. Cole
man refused to allow Striner q
few days Of freedom to settle up
his business affairs before start
ing his prison term.
Striner, who lives at 1900 Or
child street NV, had admitted
during the three-day trial he had
not set forth his full earnings for
the period in question, but de-
clared there was no wilfull intent
to avoid payment.
Cites Wartime Illness.
He said that because of illness
and the wartime help situation
he had underestimated his earn
ings at his pharmacy at Nichols
and Mellon avenues Sc, which
he sold in 1914. He said he had
forgotten to report certain income
from some commercial real estate
investments, including a shopping
center on Nichols avenue Sc.
Striner said that when he
learned he was being investigated,
he employed an accountant to
prepare amended returns and paid
about $4,000 in taxes.
Norman P. Ramsey. Govern
ment prosecutor, said that in ad-
dition to the taxes he already has
paid and the $4,000 fine. he also
owes about $4,000 additional as
fraud penalty, interest and tax
liabilities for 1889. 1940 and 1941.
Called Fairy Tale"
Mr.. Ramsey said the statute of
Limitations barred prosecution on
tax evasion charges for the
earlier years.
In imposing sentence, Judge
Coleman said Striner fabricated
a story which sounded most fic-
titious to the court and certainly
to the jury"
The judge said Striner's testi-
mony that he had income of more
than 100000 Of which he was
not aware sounded like = fairy
tale"
Striner has been active for sew
eral years in civic affairs. He is
president Of the North Washing
ton Council Of Citizens Associa-
TOMS and is a former president
Of the Federation Of Business.

today joined the hunt for new
supplies.
The only consumers certain of
some milk were those in District
institutions, hospitals, orphanages,
homes for the aged and the like.
Many families with babies and
older children still were restricted
to quart day for each child,
and then only by calling with a
doctors certificate at the Rich
field Dairy, 1880 South Capitol
street.
Only the 65 Highs ice cream
stores. operating with non-union
labor. and few groceries able
to buy milk out of the city, were
selling to the general public.
Using 1000 extra bottles brought
in from West Virginia early today,
the Highland Farms Dairy, oper-
ator of Highs, was still allowing
two quarts of milk to a customer
today.
Line Halted for Three Hours.
Milk seekers queued up early last
night and some were still in line
at II pm. when the dairy ex-
hausted its supply of bottles. At
2 am. new bottles had been filled
and the line began moving again.
Yesterday. the dairy was selling
eight quarters to a customer.
The four Shirley food stores
in Virginia sold 10000 quarts yes
terday bought from the Birming-
ham Dairy. 80 miles away at
Manassas, Va. Selling out in an
hour. the stores expected a larger
supply today and were selling one
quart to customer.
Comico Products Corp. of Alex
andria reported it was operating
around the clock processing milk
from farmers who are unable to
make deliveries to dairies here.
The milk is being converted into
such products as ice cream mix,
condensed milk and dry skim milk.
Baltimore Milk Brought Here.
j. A. Wilson, general manager of
the firm, said his plant was oper-
ating about 100 per cent above
normal in efforts to salvage milk.
He warned that if there is no set
tlement Of the dispute within the
next 48 hours. 'there is posi-
bility Of our wasting skim milk"
Some store operators here were
making trips to Baltimore to bring
back milk for their customers.
They were making no extra charge.
Mr.. Mcmillan said he expected
quick approval from Congress OH
the joint resolution for importing
milk If the situation tomorrow
warrants such action.
1t was learned. however, that
such action is unnecessary under
an existing wartime order by the
Commissioners which permitted
milk importation from outside the
Washington milk shed. It is nec-
essary to get a permit from the
Commissioners under the ruling.
The order expires June 80.

special committee that a jail term
was mot the answer" TO an edi-
torial of June in the New Orleans
Item.
Under the State constitution
the Senate had the power to i'm
prison Publisher David Stern and
Editor Clayton Fritchey up to 10
days for contempt if they were
found guilty.
Immediately on acceptance of
the committee report. the Senate
waived its rules to allow intro
duction of bill to impose q So
900 fine and 80 days imprison-
ment for failure of a newspaper
to publish reply to criticism Of
any person.
The measure would require
newspapers within 10 days to print
in the same prominence" replies
to ANY attack or criticism re-
garding the character, reputation,
morals, business or profession of
any citizen in private, political or
public life :"
It would Ak fines from 81 900 to
$4,000 and jail terms from 80 to
80 days.
An effort to kill the bill
failed, 7-23.
In recommending that the Jail
terms not be given Mr.. Stern and
Mr.. Fritchey, the special commit
tee said it did not intend Ito dig
nifty their positions by such action.
We do not intend to create such
sensationalism for Mr.. Fritchey,
which is his only claim to fame in
the newspaper field"
The committee report called

tuous and arrogant"

important food in the diet of
most people, it is an actual ne
cessity to the health of children
and many i'll persons.
Citizens Demand Action.
At another meeting, the Inter-
federation Council of Citizens As
sociation last night demanded
that more milk be made available
to hospitals and private families,
urging authorities to use "every
possible means to speed up dis
tribution.
Officials at the Richfield plant,
meanwhile, looked for steady
streams of customers today, part
ly resulting from depleted week
end stocks of milk. More people
also were expected to have picked
up their medical certificates.
Near the 6 pm. closing time
yesterday. customer lines were
short, and several would-be buyers
left hurriedly when they learned
they needed certificates. An ample
supply for today's needs, at least,
was already on hand, officials said
Clerical workers from various
dairies were dispensing the milk
on a basis Of one quart per child
in the family per day.
Cost Looking for Plant.
First customer in line at Rich
field today was Mrs. Marshall
Brushart. los Wighland drive,
Kenwood, Md, who said she got
lost looking for the plant and
ended up at Boiling Air Force
Base. Leaving her home at 7:15
am, she said, she finally arrived
at the Richfield plant at $3.50.
Leo David of 1919 Fortieth place
NV, another early customer, ran
into a problem when he attempted
to buy skim milk for his 16-
month-old daughter, who is on a
special diet. The only type of
milk being dispensed is homogen-
lied. Mr.. David said he might
drive to Baltimore later today for
the skim milk.

ers while they were standing in
line said their doctors had not
charged them for milk prescrip-
tions. but a few said they had
heard" of instances where
charges were made.
BY noon the dairy had dispensed
1,150 quarts of milk.

PITTSBURGH, June Estate
police patrols rolled across a
seven-county milk strike area to-
day in Western Pennsylvania
-Four pickets were arrested on
charges of violating a court order.
Charges of dumping milk truck
loads brought orders from Penn

lence on the States highways.
State Police Capt. Andrew ].

vania.
Milk Loads Dumped.
The four, men are charged with
violating a preliminary injunction
granted by the Westmoreland
County Court. The order forbids
interference with dairy operations
or truck movements.
The governors order followed
reports of three earlier incidents
in which milk strike pickets
dumped loads of milk and threat
ened drivers.
The five day old walkout of
1890 members of the AFL Dairy
Workers Union against 68 milk
dealers in the area surrounding
Pittsburgh shows no sign of head
ing for settlement soon.
Called Criminal Acts.
Gov. Duff declared in a state
ment:
These were acts of criminals.
They were as criminal as the acts
of bandits and will be treated as
such"
At Greensburg. Pa, 80 miles
from Pittsburgh, Sheriff Howard
Bud Thomas had court authority
to organize a posse to prevent any
violence.
Witnesses at the hearing on the
injunction testified bands of 80
to 40 pickets roved through the

After spokesmen for the milk
distributors made clear their
arguments that the strike does
affect all the dairies it was agreed
to split up and form small COM
mittees to take up the formation
of a new plan.

did not solve many vexatious
problems which exist due to the
shortage of milk"
He outlined recommendations
for a new plan made last night by
the city'S white and colored medi-
cal societies.
The doctors strongly urged both
sides of the milk controversy that
immediate steps be taken to per-
feet adequate arrangements to de-
liver milk to the homes of those
who require it to maintain health.

Thrills we're made by Hench at the
Mayo Clinic. On administration Of
ACTH, the pain and swelling of
rheumatoid arthritis disappeared
within a few days and patients felt
much better. Unfortunately, when
the ACTH was stopped, the arthritis
returned, sometimes worse than be-
fore treatment was started.
Also, where ACTH was given in the
original large doses over long per-
iod of time, some individuals deve-
loped complications that were dir
ectly traceable to the drug and that
were more serious than the arthritis.
Physicians are learning that smaller
doses than those used earlier are
associated with less danger of COM
plication.
1t is important for the general
public to realize that the use of
ACTH is still in the experimental
stage and will continue to be so for
the next several years.
1t is a very costly substance and
] it does not seem to be a cure for
rheumatoid arthritis because it must
be continuously given if improves
ment is maintained.
The important thing is that the
discovery of the effect of ACTH in
rheumatoid arthritis has stimulated
many physicians to engage in re-
search in this field. Present indica-
lions are that we shall within the
next few years, learn how to produce
ACTH, or some chemical compound
similar to it, that will have its good
effects without some of the bad
ones and that it may be prepared
inexpensively enough to be within
the financial means of all who suffer
from diseases such as rheumatoid
arthritis.
It is almost certain that during
the next few years medical research
will result in the development Of a
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
that will be as dramatic and as salts
factory as the discovery of insulin
nearly thirty years ago was for the
diabetic.
