* AIRDROME DEFENS FOUND INADEQUATE Attack Planes, Deadliest War Weapons, May Be Easily Crippled. Attack aviation, devel since the clase of the World War, which has come to rank as one of the deadliest weapons against infantry eolumns, machine gun nests, munition trains and other g:und targets, threatens to turn like & nk- enstein monster against those who have created it, it is demonstrated by tests recently concluded by the Army Alr Corps at Camp Stanley, Tex. Attack planes, through the very ele- ments which make for their suceess against ground troops, have become the greatest menaces ever developed to the safety of fighting squadrons while on the ground at airports or unrom—y air- dromes, the tests have revealed.

ROGERS. . the juice industry is plan- AT SR S e uice, wi lue eoursé of na- {un turns to wine, Prohibition Bureau is confronted with an increas- ingly difficult problem of homemade wine, complicated by court declsions which draw exceedingly fine lines. The question of home manufacture of intoxicating liquors has been a difficult one for the Government to answer ever since prohibition first came into exist- ence in the United States, It has pro- voked an endless amount of discussion. both in when the Volstead act was being drawn and among de- fenders of that ancient tradition that “& man’s home is his castle.” While Government officials have done their best to develop out of the Vol- stead act itself and out of the great mass of court decisions a clear-cut and he | well defined policy, it is admitted in certain well informed circles that the event of a rald by attack planes, the Army Air Corps and the Ordnance De- mmmt staged an actusl demonstra- at Camp Stanley. Eighteen obso- lete and wnu;mmdu :!trvhnu were used for the groun rgets. In a glnxle attack, lasting less than 60 seconds, every plane on the airdrome ‘was put out of commission, though they were parked In a manner designed to afford the best possible protection against bombardment. Air Corps offi- cers who ted the planes, including two engineering officers, who would have been charged with the duty of putting them back into service, estimated that of the 18 Yllnel which faced the hail of fire, only 3 could be repaired for service within four hours. ree more could be put into service within 24 hours. The other 12 would have re- quired lengthy major overheuls or were completely destroyed. In 17 of the 18 planes the gasoline tanks were ripped and torn, and the oil tanks in every plane were punctured. Spars, ribs, longerons, eontrol wires and fittings, propellers and electrical wiring were broken or weakened so the planes could not be flown. Several were burned and others blown to pieces by direet hits. upset sey- eral widely accepted theories and have providei data upon which new develop- ment %t may be L At Fo. Bill tons of bombs, ranging in weight /">m 100 to 32,000 peunds were ppe. from altitudes up to 15,000 feet and more on the granite ridges of the Wichita Mountains to de- termine the answers to a variety of problems, which could not be answered except by actual fleld tests. It sometimes happens that a bom- bardment plane must release its bombs over friendly territory because of at- tacks by hostile aircraft or for other reasons. The Air Corps and Ordnance ent wanted to find from what ude bombs could be dropped with the minimum amount of dam: wanted to find whether TNT bombs .

Showdown May Come. ‘Within the next year may come some | outstanding case to further clarify the rights of the individual on the one hand and the responsibility and powers of the Government to enforce the pro- hibition law on the other. Observers are now watching with much 1nterul“ to see whether a showdown on home- | made wine will come, and how soon. | Col. Amcs W. W. Woodeock, director | of prohibitien, has been misunderstood | in many quarters regarding his pro- nouncement on home manufacture of | wine. Contrary to much popular be- | lief, Col. Woodeock never said it was| legal to make wine in the home. He | never said the Voistead act gave a man the right to make intoxicating wine in his own cellar. What he did say per- tained to the authority of the Federal | Government, in a practical way, to| enforce the law, under the restrictions | of the law. He admitted that section | 29 of the Volstead act allows a person | to make ‘“non-intoxicating” eider and | fruit juices exclusively for use in his own home, but emphasized that it does not permit the manufacture of “intoxi- cating” fruit juices. The difficulty in distinguishing be- tween mere fruit juiee and intoxicati: fruit juices, where cider and grape juice turn to hard eider and wine in the home, was a difficulty which Col. Wood- cock a5 an attorney. , Repre- senative Hill dared the aovemmen‘vz to convict him for wine in his own home in Baltimore and invited prohibition agents to see it done. His case went to a jury, and the jury held | that the cider of 2.7 per cent alcohol, | and the wine of 11 per eent aleohol content were non-intoxicating in faet. Hill was acquitted when a jury brought in & not guilty verdict. But Mr. Hill never trfed his experiment again. Other Problems Faced. Further difficulties faced by the Gov- ernment in enforeing the law against intoxicating fruit juices in the home lie in the fact that before s man's home may be entered, there must be issued & search warrant for entry. Be- fore that search warrant may be issued, Government must submit evidence of a sale of the intexicating liquor. Bo, from a practical viewpoint of enforee- ment, Col. Woodcock admits that the situation is difficult, to say the least.

The berries were grown on his own farm. He put them into a barrel and strained out the berries, having added about two gallons of water to one gallon of juice. Having failed to secure 8 permit, he placed the bar- rel eontaining the julce and water in an outside cellar, where State police officers found it. The contents of the barrel were not destroyed by the of- ficer, but pint samples were taken from barrel.

The pint samples were analyzed, but the record does not show the alcoholic con- tent. “The defendant offered to show that the liguor was not intoxieating, but objection to this evidence was sustained by the tria] eourt.

Must Prove Charge. “We therefore hold that in all such cases 1t is necessary to prove that such vinegar and fruit juiees are in fact in- ;‘o;:’icnlnl before & conviction can be ad.” : Turning to his experience in Con. gress, and writing it into the decision, Judge Webb continued: “This view of this section is unanimously held by the court, and as the writer of this epinion gu a me:nhhef &l‘.

This pro now consideration was not a part of the bill as it the House of Representatives, but was inserted in the Senate after a number of speeches had betn made by per- sons complaining that the ‘grandmother and housewife’ were going to be ‘pe- nalized and made inals’ if they made blackberry cordials or blackberry wines for use in their own home. “In order te meet such objection on the part of such critics of the bill, this provision was agreed upon and inserted in the Senate, after a conference of members and Senators deeply inter- ested in the passage of the act and the success of prohibition, A different interpretation than this one placed upon the act would be to totally dis- regard the plain language of the Con- gress, which inserted this provision in the Volstead act for the purpose of making a different rule for conviction of persons who make non-intoxicating vinegar and fruit juices exclusively for their home uses.” Another Raling Cited. Of apparently another tenor, how- ever, came last week & decision from Federal Judge Alexander Akerman at Tampa, Fla. Judge Akerman ruled, ac- cording to a dispatch from the As- soclated Press, “that manufacture or possession of any aleoholic beverlf: in & home constitued s vielaf of national prohibition law,” The judge was guoted directly as saying: “I don't think any man has the right to start a brewery in his home.., It is my belief that possession applies to all persons, whether they intend to sell liquor or use it themselves.” Another question that impinges di- rectly on the problem of whether the widespread sale of grape juice for wine manufacture at home could be found illegal, arises out of that part of the Volstead act which concerns articles “dulllsneu or intended” for use in mak- quor. is part reads: “It shall be unlawful to advertise, manufacture, sell, or pos- sess for sale, any utensil, contrivance, machine, preparation, compound, tablet. substance, formula direction, or recipe advertised, designed or intended for | use in the un:awful manufacture of in-{ toxicating liquor,” Creates Hard Problem, That sentence, it has been agreed, has been a poser for both the grape Juice people, who want to sell their grape juice for eventual wine, and for the Government, which the law charges with responsibility for .enforcement. ‘The advertisements put out by the manufacturers of grape juice, according to experts who have studied them, are said to be highly ingenious. They ap- pear to be designed =specifically and | with peculiar aptitude for evading that part of the law against recipes and formula directions. If these advertise- ments and directions sent with the grape juice gave explicit instructions on it is held by Government experts they would fall under the penalty for vio- lating the law. But many of them so far discovered have proved so cleverly written that it would be hard to prove jon. The effectiveness of this part of the Volstead ~act against materials and the law, has been upheld by the 8Su- preme Court of the United States, in Danovits, doing business as Lhe Feitler Hottle Co, A large amount of property, including idguor, empty bottles, labels, cardboard cartons, demijohns, corks, twine, caps for bottles, siphons and had been seized in that case, and were held by the SBupreme Oourt to have been properly “seized and ordered con- fiscated and destroyed.” The Supreme purview and scope of the prevision widely legislating to carry out the pur- pose of the eighteenth amendment.” Court States Pesition. ‘The court further held: “Mere ‘pos- session of property designed for the manufacture ef liquor' is not forbidden by section 25, title 2, of the act; the inhibition goes to property so designed when the liguor manufactured or to be manufactured by it is ‘intended for use in violating’ the act, sale of the liquor the most common ‘use.” This in- n to violate the act by the use of liquor manufactured by property de- signed for that purpose is an inseparable part of the forbidden thing, if the intention is te be inferred frem the shape and dress of the liguor so unlaws fully made, the things that reveal the intention to sell, censtitute, in our judg- ment, property going into its forbidden manufacture with the intention to vio- late the law." ’ ‘The Department of Justice has before it the latest request of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former Assistant General in charge of prosecut- ing prohibition cases, who now repre- sents Fruit Industries, Ine.

Austin Baugh- 7 |man. Commissioner Baughman ealled attention to the fact that the “Save-A- Life” campaign, inaugurated by his office and conducted through November, had reduced the lives lost in the month by 11 as compared with last year. “Sunday, November 30, 1930, Mr. Baughman, “closes the Life’ campaign.

This means 100 per cent safe d vlns in Maryland on Bunday, November 30. Proud of Co-operation. “I am especially proud of the co- operation which the motorists of Mary- land have thus far shown in the ‘Save- A-Life’ campaign. “No other State in the ecountry has shown the definite results of a cam- aign which have been shown by Mary- and, and there have been 20 other such campaigns in as many States in the country. I sincerely hope that the many motorists who will be on the road tomorrow will resolve to drive with spe- cial care to improve this record and to avoid bringing injury, perhaps death, to others—and perhaps to themselves.” ‘There were 47 deaths from automo- bile accidents in Maryland in Novem- ber, 1929. There have been 36 thus far in November, 1830. 45,000 Not Inspected. An estimate from records at the office of E. Austin Baughman, com- missioner of motor vehicles, today in- dicated that 45,000 Maryland autos have not yet been inspected in the current “Save-A-Life” campaign. Officially the campaign does not close until December 1, and the motorists inapee 8t any ene of the 1,300 designated sta- tions throughout the State.
