Mott, New York social worker, asked President Hoover and Secretary of Labor Doak yesterday to remove en- dtirely the no-work restriction recently ‘placed by the Immigration Bureau on aliens in the United States attending school or college under student visas. The regulation has been modified by the Labor Department on the protest of John H. McCracken of the American Council of Education and other educa- tors, but Mr. Mott believes it still may prove a source of ill feeling on the part of European nations. I favor the doing away of the ruling altogether,” said Mr. Mott after his talk at the White House. “It would be better for our relations with other countries at this time and all the work these students do isn't a large part of the work done by students. Further- more, those who work their way often are the best of the lot. I estimate there 15 only 3,000 foreign students working their way in American schools.” D. C.

NEW YORK, October 1.—Returning from a study of liquor control in Nor- way, Denma Sweden and Russia in 1931, Mrs. John S. Sheppard empk sized the elimination of the profit fac- tor as the one possible solution. This is the essence of the plan which s now submits, as chairman of the N York State branch of the Women's Or- ganization for National Prohibition Reform. It has been her objective in her many vears of activity in this field. The op- portunity for big profits. she believes, underlies America’s failure to handle its liquor properly. Of distinguished antecedents, she was a social welfare worker for years with the Medical Center. the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, the Welfare Council of New York and the United Hospital fund. As in the case of Margaret Sanger, slums were her laboratory and broken homes her test tubes. The negations of her at- tack on prohibition are no more im- portant to her than her positive drive for a solution, which has placed her in the front rank of women anti-prohibi- tionists. She is a descendant of five gener- ations of judges. Her father was the late Supreme Court Justice William Rumsey of Bath, N. Y. Her husband is a New York attorney of the firm of Sheppard, Jones & Seipp. In their Park avenue home there are four gen- erations of her family—her mother, her daughter and three grandchildren. ival musicians—front row, left to right—J.

The Supreme Court reconvenes to- morrow from its long Summer recess, confronted by a crowded docket which | has near its top the Scottsboro case, in | S| which the lives of seven Alabama Ne- w &roes hang upon the high court's opin- ion of the fairness of their trial. | Neither this nor other pending cases, | however, will receive action at the first session. The court expects then to re- | ceive motions, pay a courtesy call to the White House and adjourn to October 10. At the next Monday session it will be- | gin announcing whether it will review some 30 cases which have accumulated | during the recess. [ Three Appeals. | The Scottsboro case, consisting of | three appeals filed on behalf of the | Negroes convicted of assaults on two white women near the Alabama town of | that name, and sentenced to death, was | among eight set for argument on Octo- ber 10 before the court adjourned last | Spring. The quest for a new trial is based on the claim that inflamed con- ditions of the public mind and the | presence of State Militla prevented the men from receiving a fair trial. Among the more important cases | pending are two from Texas :nvolving | the power of the State to restrict oil | production: two involving the validity |of chain store taxes in Florida and Kentucky; numerous contests of State taxes on banks and the usual run of THE ]ULIUS‘LANSBURGH FURNITURE CO.
