Befor> the committee approved these sums, it heard testimony from the heads of each branch reciting accomplish- ments and aims. Alcohol Production Drops. Dr. James M. Doran, industrial alco- hol commissioner, said while alcohol production had dropped 12%: per cent, principally because of the business de- rission, the number of legal units ndling the regulated product had decreased but little.

Most of the illegal importation, he said, is from Turkey, and not Chin About 700 pounds of forbidden deriva-, tives were exported from the Land of the Crescent g the United States last February. Despite the influx of smuggle gplates, Anslinger saw encouragement in the results of work by Federal agents. Because of that work, he said, an ounce of narcotics now costs the addict an average of $500. slr.xg July i the bureau has svized between 5,000 and 6,000 ounces of me e. Informers last year got $94,282 for expenses and $31,748 as rewards, while it cost $123,240 to buy evidence for prosecutions.

DENVER, Colo, December 3.—The State summoned Leo O'Loughlin to the witness stand today in an effort to |prove its charge that his wife, Pearl, murdered his 10-yzar-old daughter, Leona. The State based its right to call a husband as a witness against his wife upon a recent State Supreme Court de- cision in which a @ifc was permitted to testify against her husband in an assault case.

LIVERPOOL, England, December 3 () —Two hundred anti-Catholic dem- onstrators during the night blocked the approach to Notre Dame Convent here, preventing Dr. Downey, Catholic Arch- bishop of Liverpool, from entering to attend a prize-giving and threatening him with violence if he persisted in his efforts. The angry crowd stoned the convent windows, later prevented workmen from moving the furniture into the new Catholic presbytery and tore down the railings in front of the building, pelting the priest, who escaped serious injury. The cause of the outbreak has not been determined, but such scenes are not without precedent here, where Orangmen and Roman Catholics are at variance. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY.

Director Addresses Columbia Heights Group on Needs for Representation. The Columbia Heights Citizens’ As- sociation last night reaffirmed its sup- port of national representation for the | District of Columbia after an address by Thomas P. Littlepage, director of the Chamber of Commerce, in which he explained that adoption of the proposal would not mean taking control of the Capital City away from Congress. “Most of the dsagreement on this question is due to misunderstanding,” Mr, Littlepage said. “It doesn’t mean throwing every office in the District open to an electorate. It simply means giving the District the right to send one or more Representatives to the House and one or more Senators to the Senate and elsctors to the electoral college, Member Nearly Lost Seat. “The men at the Capitol do not like to be assigned to the District com- mittees,” he said, commenting on the practical aspects of the plea for repre- sentation. “One member told me sev- eral years ago that serving on the Dis- trict Committes almost cost him his seat; that his people seemed to resent the fact that he was working for the Capital City and not their own inter- ests, and that he had to get off the | committee.” Mr. Littlepage said that with the District population steadily increasing | it was necessary that the people have | in Congress somebody to make the Dis- trict’s interests a primary concern. He said he did not feel like criticizing any members of Congress who have served the Distri because he thought they had done “extremely well” considering their other responsibilities. He predicted that if passed the amendment would be ratified by the | speedily. “There is no question that'the States would grant the people of the District these privileges,” he said, “because it | has been established that such action .would not turn the District over to any undesirable element.” Mr. Littlepage was introduced by Al- ble‘;tdE. ‘Westrater, president, who pre. sided.

The Treasury-Post Office appropria- tion bill, reported today, carried only $59,962,560 for the bureau, $104,437- 440 less than allowed for the current year and $12,154,140 below the budget im Refunds are to be paid out of an allotment of $26,000,000 plus $57,836,000 which, it is estimated, will be carried over. A decrease of $437,440 in the cost of collecting taxes next year will be made possible, the committee reported, by a reduction in personnel, consequent to the disposal of many large cases.

Reviewing the gigantic task of caring for the World War veterans, Frank T. Hines, in his annual rep-rt as former director of the Veterans' Bureau, made public today, has asked Congress for a definition of future policies for giving relief to veterans who receive disabili- ties outside of their service. Gen. Hines, who is now administrator of veterans' affairs, submitted his re- port as director of the Vterans’ Bureau for the fiscal year ending June 30. The new director, Col. George E. Ijams, as- sumed charge of the bureau in July, following the promoticn of Gen, Hines to be administratcr of veterans’ affairs. Althsugh the Government has more than enough hospital beds for veterans injured in service, Hines said new appli- cations for hospitalization of non-service connected disabilities were bringing a constantly increasing pressure, Question of Policy. With a potential load of 4,000,000 veterans, he said, “it is apparent to what proportions this may extend if it | is to be the policy * * to give non- service-connected cases a mandatory right * * * to hospitalization.” ‘Additional facilities would be required, he continued, and preliminary studies “indicate a future obligation which far overshedows our whole experience to date" because cf congressiohal provision | for hospitalization of veterans of all | wars in need of treatment “regardless of the origin of their disabilities.” Hines recommended further develop- ment of veterans’ employment service, citing the action of Congress in launch- ing this work in co-operation with the Department of Lahor with a $23,000 ap- propriation. He said facilities have been established in 18 States and $10 000 ‘was available for this year's work. Expansion of the bureau’s activiti because of the provision for payment of disability allowance was predicted. Civil Life Disabilities. “This benefit extefids to didabilities incurred in civil life, and it is antic- ipated its application will develop * into cne of the bureau’s most admiris- trative undertakings,” he said. Consolidaticn of governmental relief activities, as authorized last July, was | depicted as clearing the way for re- moving many impediments of adminis- tration. The necessity for expanding hospitali- zatlon facilities, he said, was shown in about 10 per cent more applications for admission. The building program under way, which calls for 10 new hospitals and additions to others, was reviewed. “More than 31,000 beds were- avail- able for 17,0000 veterans disabled in ac- tion, and approximately 9,000 beds will be added,” he said. Payment of compensation to veterans, widows, orphans and parents totaled $188,000,000, of which $155,000,000 went to 279,539 veterans. “DEPRESSION” BANNED PINE BLUFF, Ark,, December 3 (#) —Subscribers to the Commercial, daily newspaper published here, will have to look to other publications henceforth if they care to read of “financial depres- sion,” “business depression,” “hard times” and the like.

BERLIN, December 3.—There is a beer bottle inside the great golden im- perial crown of Germany in the Kai- ser's former palace, Unter Den Linden, says the newspaper Vorwaerts, quot- ing the gon of the man who put it there 36 years ago. It is the son's story that Wilhelm, | anneyed by scant observance by the populace of “Busstag” (Day of | Repentance), which falls in November, issued a homily to his people enjoining them that all work should ceas: on that day. It so happened that the white mar- ble hall of the palace was being reno- vated, and the four crowns of the House of Hohenzollern, the Margrave, the - Brandenburg, the Prussian Raqyal and the Imperial German Crown, be- ing fixed to the ceiling. The Kaiser was anxlous to have the hall ready for a court function, but found that if no work was done on “Busstag” it could not be completed in time. So he de- creed that in this particular instance, the observance order should not npfly Vorwaerts printed some ironical ccmment on the affair, with the con- sequence that the issue in which it appeared was confiscated by the po- lice. One of the palace workmen se- creted a copy, put it inside a beer | bottle and embedded it securely in plaster inside the crown. It is still there, Vorwaerts asserts.

Alzmann had divorced | his wife in Mexico th'ough an action in which they both engdged Mexican attorneys by correspondence, appear- ances for both being only through the lawyers.

By the Associated Press. So highly organized is liquor running on the borders that the Coast Guard will require~more than $15,000,000 to conduct its anti-smuggling operations next fiscal year. The House Appropriations Committee reported today that the Coast Guard’s expenditures go to protecting the borders against contraband, most of it liquor. It recommended a total of $32,897,582 for the Guard's 1932 ap- Ppropriation. Rear Admiral Francis C. Billard, commandant of tHe Guard, in hearings before the committee said the break-up of “rum row” on the Atlantic Coest had not ended liquor running because “the rum interests since then have become highly organized, have large amounts of money at their disposal and now operate in a different way.” Canada’s act in denying clearance to liquor vessels bound for the United States, he said, has resulted in a marked reduction of smuggling activities on the Great Lakes, but “on the other hand, there appear to be more vessels engaged in attempting smuggling on our ocean coasts.” Qi iy DETECTIVE INTERRUPTS WEDDING FOR FATHER Richmond Man Persuades Daughter Who Eloped With Musician to Wait Until January.
