Early in the day the Senate rejected a committee amendment to a section of the bill providing that in proceedings for the return of liquor seized, the bur- den of proof would be on the claimant to satisfy the court that the liquor was lawfully possessed. As originally drafted this section applied to instances where the liquor was seized “under an invalid search warrant or illegally seized under a valid search warrant.” This was one of the two sections the Attorney General objected to, and the committee modified it by cutting out the ords. words. Sepator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon- tana, took the view yesterday, however, that the elimination of these words made the section more drastic. inally, he said, the new section wou have applied only where the search warrant was invalid or the seizure was llegal. But with those words eliminat- ed, he argued, the new section would apply to any proceeding. The Senate, in disagreeing to the committee amend- ment, restored the original language. Senator Wheeler served notice he had an amendment to eliminate the ref- erence to the Police Court in the section which lists officials who would issue warrants under the bill.

The 100 votes would not discharge the cemmittee, he declared, but would simply initiate the necessary ma- chinery. It would take a majority vote in the House, he said, to adopt the motion. “This rule would not place the com- mittee under any duress, but would have a tendency to make them more considerate of the wishes of the House, |and probably only in rare cases would it be necessary to apply the rule,” Mr. Crisp said. “The rule is intended to deal with willful committees that are endeavoring to suppress legislation in the committee so that the House may not act upon it.” Under the present system, Mr. Crisp sald, the chairman of the Rules Com- mittee is in “supreme control” of what measures the House shall be permitted to consider.

Many cases of real need have been helped in this way. If the ticket is not presented by the person seeking money or food, the chances are that the individual's hard- luck story would not bear questioning. “The Community Chest reports back to the giver of the ticket the result of the investigation following each appli- cation for aid. It may be that relief will not be necessary if the t is an imposter or is already receiving help from some charitable organization. The Chest is in a position through its agencles and its numerous sources of information to deal with these alms seekers according to their needs. If the distress is genuine 5 cents or 50 cents will not solve the- problem. He may be in dire want of real service. “It is far greater help to any man to refer him to the Chest with one of these yellow tickets than to dole out & coin and consider the account square. Direct relief is not administered to in- dividuals at headquarters. Applicants are referred to the proper agency best equipped to serve.” Mr. Poole yesterday admonished sub- mwg o dma‘u any part of their any organization or to the Red Cross on account of the va- riety of appeals and the great needs represented in the Chest this year. “Every organization listed on the pledge cards,” he pointed out, “will be glven a list of names and addresses of those who designate any portion of their gift to that particular agency, to- gether with the amounts of their desig- nations.
