A AID POLICY HELD PENSION BILL BOON Is T Borah Says Measure More Needed Now~ Than Ever. Urging Federal aid to the smu! in setting up old-ege pension systems, | Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, | pointed out yesterday such a course is more essential than ever since’ the administration determined to, turn back to the States and local| charity the task of providing for ap- proximately 1,500,000 “unemployables” estimated to be cn the Federal relief | rolls. “The President's message greatly strengthens the cause of old-age pen- sions,” said the Republican Inde- pendent. “Both from a humanitarian and| economic view the Government will| THE EVENING New Pershing Portrait be compelled to act,” he said. “After four years of depression, a large percentage of our elderly people | have exhausted their means; their; life savings are gone,” said Borah,; whose own State has a pension plan | paying $25 a month “It is too late for them to find & place in the industrial world.” he added. “Even if industrial conditions were normal they could not find po- sitions. H “The States are at present wholly | unprepared and many not able w; provide adequate pensions. Old-age pension legislation ought to be re-| garded as a definite part of our pro- gram. That is ‘the logic of the President’s message.” .

Heed these positive warnings and let The ‘Thomas’ save your hair with their reliable proved scalp treatment, BALDNESS is not caused by sleeping in short beds or damp churches. Nor is it inherited. More than 85% of all cases of baldness are caused by one or more of the 14 local scalp disorders which come within the scope of Thomas treat- ment. Therefore, there is really no reason why you should be- come bald or remain bald. Thomas treatment effectively overcomes the causes of bald- ness, ends dandruff, stops abnormal hairfall and promotes hair growth quickly and inexpensively. You have nothing to do at home, nothing to worry about. A Thomas expert determines exactly which scalp disorders are attacking your hair-growing structure, elimin; them, and stimulates hair growth. Call to- day at a Thomas office for a complete scalp examination. It costs you nothing and you are not obligated in any way.

STAR, WASHINGTON, LONG'S ABDICATION ASKED BY CITIZENS Group Promises “Action” in 10 Days if Oppressive Laws Not Repealed. | By the Assoclated Press. BATON ROUGE, La., January 7.— The “Square Deal Association,” formed at & mass meeting of several hundred Standard Oil Co. employes and citizens, has ordered Senator Huey Long to abdicate his dictatorship in Louisiana. ‘The group telegraphed Gov. O. K. Allen, Long’s lieutenant, and members of the Legislature last night, promis- ing “action” if steps were not taken within 10 days to repeal dictatorial laws. On receipt of the “Square Deal” telegram, Gov. Allen declared: *“I have no statement to make. You know that everything was settled.” Long, meanwhile, was ready to take the Senate floor in Washington to air his differences with President Roose- velt. Armed Force Alleged. Speakers at last night's meeting de- nounced the Senator and State officials, called an expanded mass meeting for Wednesday night and charged that Long kept 25 machine | gunners in the State House to “shoot you down and say you are a rebel.” ‘The meeting grew out of a gather- ing of Standard Ofl employes Saturday night under the chairmanship of John R. Norton, secretary of the Employes’ Committee, in protest over the oil tax. Norton'’s group disbanded after Long said an agreement had been reached with the company whereby most of the 1,000 employes dismissed last week would be re-employed. Rebate Declared Agreed. Long had agreed, he said, to rebate 4 cents of the 5-cent tax on oil refined within the next 90 days, and 4 cents thereafter on each barrel of Louisiana ofl refined, with no rebate for foreign | ofl.

HIGH TAX OPENS DRIVE ON LIQUOR IN MEXICO President Cardenas Seeks to Make Trinking Too Expensive for Working Class. By the Assoclated Press. MEXICO, D. F.,, January 7.—Deter- mined to make drinking too expensive for the working classes and a luxury for the rest of Mexico, President Lazaro Cardenas proceeded yesterday with a general campaign sgainst the use of alcohol by decreeing higher taxes on the consumption, sale and import of alcoholic beverages. Although he has plainly expressed his opinion that drinking is harmfuly the President has given no indication he has in mind undertaking any pro- hibition experiment. Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans make their living from cultivation of the maguey, the plant which is the source of the two most common and cheapest drinks in the country— pulque and tequila. Before stamping it out it would be necessary to substitute some other form of agriculture. Such a plan is being studied by Tomas Garrido A. Canabal, secretary of agriculture and an ardent prohibitionist, who recom- mends cultivation of fruits. Greators DISTINCTIVE LETFERHEADS arne BUSINE: cAarDS BreWOD Engravers 61! TWELFTH STREET, N.W.
