plated by the Government, liquor
distillers were told today by Dr.
E. G. Greenbaum, a code expert,
*s the hearing opened on the
proposed distillers’ code.
The Government’s policy for
control of liquor pending Con
gressional action will be a three
point one, E. G. Lowry, of the
Treasury Department, announced.
Will Regulate Prices
These points are:
1 Potential price control as
•n emergency measure "neces
sary for the consumer and the
Industry alike.”
2. Production control.
3. A strong Federal supervi
•ory body.
Lowry said:
‘‘Excessively high prices would
mean a continuation of the
operations of illegal members
of the industry, while large
profits would indicate over-pro
duction leading to forced meth
ods of sale and stimulated con
sumption of liquors.”
He emphasized that both price
•nd production control as sought
In the code would be purely dis
cretionary and would be invoked
only in the case of emergency. •
Lowry declared the committee
In formulating a code realized
that it was facing an emergency
situation. He said:
‘‘This situation is complicated
by the existence of a large and
well organized illicit group com
peting with the industry.”
The distillers were stunned by
the latest development, a proposed
substitute for the importers’ code.
This substitute followed by only a
few hours the proposed Admin
istration substitute for the code
drafted by the distillers them
selves.
Import Quotas Proposed
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
was informed that a liquor im
porters’ marketing agreement,
calling for import quotas on all
alcoholic beverages, other than
beer and similar malt ferments, ’
and the licensing of all importers,
would be proposed by the inter
departmental committee of the
Administration.
It was this committee which
tossed a bombshell into the dis
tillers’ camp yesterday by propos
ing strict Government control of
domestic liquor protection and
distribution. Hearings on *he im
porters’ code are scheduled for
next Wednesday.
Offer Cooperation
The distillers issued a statement
declaring their willingness to co
operate with the Government in
meeting problems facing the in
dustry.
The President’s special commit
tee already has filed a tentative
code for the brew Zig industry. Re
ports persisted that a proposed
substitute for the vinters’ code
may be presented, thus bringing
•11 phases of the liquor industry
Under Federal supervision.
Indications were seen that the
Administration strategy would be
to encourage the consumption of
light wines and beer in preference
to “hard liquor.”

J. B. Thomas, Expert, Declares Famous Virginia Fox
Hounds Are Above Those of Rest of World
HERE ARE a pack of Virginia hounds and types
chosen from the pack of the Old Dominion Hounds,
Crest Hill, Va., of which Sterling Larrabee and James
M. Doeller are joint masters. Individual hounds of the
Old Dominion pack are bred for nose, determination and
music (or cry).

OLD DOMINION HOUNDS
BREEDERS OF these hounds are cognizant of all the characteristics of ancestry
before they permit breeding. Heredity is the fundamental basis of the innate char
acteristics of these hounds. They have nose, drive and shape, which means they
have pace. Nose (scenting ability) and the experience to use it correctly are all-im
portant requisites in fox hounds.
SEN. DICKINSON
ASSAILS NRA
Predicting a "constructive” Re
publican assault on Roosevelt pol
icies, and especially regarding the
inflation question, Senator L. J.
Dickinson (R. )of lowa, who was
the keynoter at the last Repub
lican convention, has attacked the
Administration program.
He expects to get a substantial
backing when he introduces a
resolution calling for the repeal
of title No. 1 of the National
Recovery Act during the coming
session of Congress. He said he
believes some Democrats will sup
port him in this move.
The lowan said he will urge
that the expenditure of public
works funds be curbed drastic
ally, and that many of the pow
ers which have been given to
the President be reduced.
to attend a peace conference.
That leaves ’em kind of short
handed in their way at home
until these fellows get back.
There certainly is not much
incentive for doing anything
right nowadays. A Government
stamp printer made a mistake
>n one little batch of 24-cent air
mail stamps (had the figure
turned crosswise) and the
stamps brought $12,000. If the
printer had made the figure
plum upside down, the stamps
would have brought SIOO,OOO.

relatives. I used to accompany
Mrs. Edwards home after serv

if she got home safely or not.
“She often told me during her
lifetime that none of here rela

they can get my money’.”

The National Daily
Some American Packs Date Their Ancestry
to Colonial Days, Says Author; U. S.
Breed Totals 1,500,000
EDITORS NOTE: The Times today is especially fortunate in
offering an article by Joseph B. Thomas, admitted throughout the
world to be one'of the leading authorities on fox hounds, if not the
greatest authority of all. Mr. Thomas’ book, "Hounds and Hunt
ing,” now in the process of publication is awaited by all fox hunters,
both in this country and abroad, with the greatest of interest.
By JOSEPeFb. THOMAS
Hounds of all sorts in this country number 1,500,000!
The Dog World makes the estimate.
These hounds are usually owned by individual farmers or
hunters. They are retained for their hunting qualities and
voice, little heed being given to their color and shape.
In spite of the vast number of«
individual hound owners, there
are comparatively few large
packs of true American hounds
of any kind. By “packs” is
meant 17 to 20 couple, carefully
drafted for evenness of running
ability and hunted together.
The cavalier, Robert Brooke,
the first known master of fox
hounds in America, was born in
London, June 3, 1602, the son of
Thomas Brooke (member of Par
liament, 1604-1611). In 1650 Rob-,
ert Brooke sailed for the crown
colony in America in his own
AUSTRIAN KIEIS
GERMAN SKIIED
MUNICH. Germany, Nov. 24
(1.N.5.). —The latest and ap
parently most serious of a series
of Austro-German border inci
dents occurred today with the
fatal shooting of a Reichswehr
private by Austrian border
guards.
The victim, Private Schu
macher, was skiing with five
other members of the Reich
swehr, regular German army, in
the Bavarian mountains, near
Egenalmkogl. The soldiers were
dressed in civilian clothes, ac
cording to German authorities.
Suddenly, according to the
German version, the Austrian
frontier guards fired three shots
into the group, even though they
were on the German side of the
border.

Renewed threats of lynching the

Hart, 22-year-old son of a wealthy
department store owner, rumbled
through San Jose today.
Reports were flashed t the chief
of police and Sheriff William J.
Emig that “ a vigilante committee
of 100 responsible business men”
was being formed.
. Several salesmen corroborated
the reports and told newspaper
men that they had overheard the
business men discussing final plans

Sheriff Emig immediately posted
additional deputy sheriffs on

FAKE JURY LIST
SGUTTSBORO
SENSATION
Defense Counsel Says Names
Os Negroes Were Entered
Since Indictment
DECATUR, Ala., Nov. 24
(1.N.5.) .—Charges of the defense
that names of six negroes had
been entered falsely in the 1931
Jackson county jury rolls since in
dictment of the Scottsboro negroes
created a sensation in court here
today.
Samuel Leibowitz, New York de
fense attorney, summoned James
Haring, handwriting expert who
figured in the famous Hall-Mills
murder case, here from New York
in an effort to support his con
tention.
Some of the names of the
negroes that drew the fire of the
New York lawyer are written on
the marginal space of the July
list. Leibowitz charged they were
entered in a different shade of ink
than that used for the names of
white jurymen.
Claims Negroes Barred
Claiming that the original in
dictments charging the seven col
ored defendants with mistreating
two white girl mill workers were
nullified because negroes were
barred from serving on the grand
jury, Samuel Leibowitz, New York
defense counsel, is seeking to
quash the bills.
Reading of the entire jury list
of Jackson county, where the
crime was alleged to have oc
curred aboard a freight train, and
where the original trial was held,
was to be resumed today.
Two Are Identified
Os the thousands of names
read, two have been identified as
negroes. Leibowitz asked:
“Have you ever seen a negro
serve on your grand jury*?”
The court clerk replied:
“No.”
STEEL LIMIT WIDENED
American Iron & Steel Institute
has extended the time for delivery
of steel rails under the new price
up to July 1, 1934; four months
from the time of making the con
tract was the previous time set.
Delivery time on other steel prod
ucts going for public works pro

PRESIOENTSEES
MORGENTHAO
ON MONEY
Stands Pat on Present Policy
As Treasury Chief Gives
Report on Criticism
WARM SPRINGS. Ga., Nov. 24
(I.N.S.).—Calm in the face of
fiery criticism of his monetary
policies. President Roosevelt to
day prepared for the first of a
series of important conferences
with his acting Secretary of the
Treasury. Henry Morgenthau, jr.
Morgenthau was to arrive here
today from Atlanta. He left
Washington last night, arrived
in Atlanta this morning, and
was to motor over.
To Stay Several Days
The visit of the Treasury head
was held to be of tremendous
importance, despite assertions
here he had nothing specific to
take up with the President. An
old-time monetary battle was
developing in the Nation's Capital,
and Mr. Roosevelt wants the
latest report possible on the situ
ation. Morgenthau, who is ac
companied by Mrs. Morgenthau,
will stay here several days.
Before the President left Wash
ington Morgenthau said he in
tended coming here for Thanks
giving dinner. Thanksgiving is
a week off. And long before
that time. Morgenthau will have
gone.
Mr. Roosevelt was standing pat
on his monetary policies and ig
noring criticism from several
sources, not the least of them
being the advisory council to the
Federal Reserve Board.
Silver to Be Discussed
Nevertheless, it was no secret
that he intended going over the
monetary situation, comprehen
sively and in detail, with the
Treasury Department head.
There will be extensive discus
sion between Mr. Roosevelt and
Morgenthau of the possible in
creased use of silver. Whether any
decision to take action in that
direction will develop from the
scheduled conferences was. how
ever, a matter of doubt here.
