FBb5 w5 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, TREASURY CLAIMS | [ senator Plans Flivver Trip RN ROW" CURB Smugglers’ Activities Less, Says Report—44 Ships ‘Captured by Agents. By the Associated Press. The Treasury today claimed a vic- tory over “Rum Row.” Making a report for the fiscal year ended last June 30, it said its law-enforcement activitles have drastically reduced the numbder of smugglers hovering off the American coasts. Narrating the activities of its Alco- hol Tax Unit, Coast Guard, narcotics agents and other officers, it listed these results, among others: Seizure of 7 foreign vessels, 26 do- mestic ships and 11 skiffs. Capture of 106,504 gallons of illicit alcdhol. ’ Arrest of 112 persons. Work Co-ordinated. The work of the agencies was co- ordinated last Fall to meet an or- ganized attempt to flood the United States with contraband foreign al- cohol. Treasury officials laid stress on results of a campaign to prevent de- livegies of contraband. Officials said that in the last week of the fiscal vear only 13 foreign vessels listed 28 would-be smugglers were reported Novering off the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts, as compared with 23| in a single week earlier. Only 7| were reported during the week ended | August 10. | The department estimated that | foreign vessels engaged in smuggling aloohol had an annual capacity of 2,250,000 gallons, which, converted, would mean 2': times this amount of pseudo whisky. Oriental Narcotics Fought. On the Pacific Coast renewed ef- forts to smuggle narcotics from the Orient were fought. Coast Guard cutters followed vessels to prevent them from putting contraband over- board attached to life preservers for | of narcotics jumped 60 per cent. The Bureau of Narcotics showed 3.065 convictions during the year, with ‘lkmd of trailers the Senator plans tc fines of $173,043 and imprisonment sggregating 3,963 years.

So he intends to hit the long, iong trail, swing around the circle from Washington to Canada, tg the West Coast, to Mexico, and back again—in a flivver and & trailer—and do it all in 30 Jays and on $100. On September 1 the former cowboy. sailor, lumberjack and soldier of for-| tune who now occupies a seat in tnel United States Senate is going to take | a month off to see America. He's been around the world once, and has writ- ten two travel books—‘“Wanderlust” and “Gypsy Tralls"—but he has yet to see the Alamo and Calamity Jane's | old Dugout at Deadwood, S. Dak. *What I want to do,” Senator Rey- nolds said today, “is blaze the trail for Americans—show 'em how to see their own country in a limited time | and on a small amount of money. Chance for Education. “We've got more good roads, mors automobiles and more places of in- terest than any other country on earth I'm lighting out of Washington soon as Congress closes shop, and I'd like| to have the youth of America follow | my example—even if they have to eplay hookey from school. They'd learn more running around America than they would in the class rooms, any- way. Travel is a liberal education. With his old friend, Col. Leo Cadi- son of North Carolina, suh, Senator Bob and a darky—miechanic, cook and chauffeur—will start on the journey irom the East front of the Capitol. The first stop is Annapolis. There they will visit the Naval Academy. After that, the Liberty Bell and Inde- pendence Hall at Philadelphia. Then, the Military Academy at West Poin! New York follows—with a peep at | Radio City, and—but the Senator bet- | ter not let the folks back home know | this—Grant’s Tomb. After Boston and a stroll around the Common, the caravan goes to Niagara and ada. At Windsor the party crosses | over to Detroit where they make the | travel in—sleep, eat and cook. | Other points of interest are the Rushmore Memorial in South Dakota. Pikes Peak, the Garden of the Gods, | in Colorado; Yellowstone National Park, the Great Salt Lake, Boulder Dam, the Yosemite Valley and the movie colony at Hollywood. | Texas and Louisiana, | At Nogales, Ariz., the Senator and his companions will cross over into old Mexico and then back to see the SENATOR ROBERT RICE REYNOLDS. Senator says, “certainly these young- sters can go me one better.” With his trailer ready and rar'ing to go, all Senator Reynolds whits for now is the closing of Congress, Study Power Resources. Governments of Kenya and Uganda are combining in a survey of the hydroelectric possibilities of the Ripon and Owen Falls on the Victoria Nile, in Uganda. COLONISTS HAPPY AT PRICE OUTLOOK Matanuska Settlers Sure of Ready Demand as Har- vest Nears. By the Associated Press. PALMER, Alaska, August 14.—Pros- pects of ready markets and satisfac- tory prices cheered the Government's colonists in the Matanuska Valley to- day while they made ready to harvest their first crops. Don R. Irwin, eolonization director for the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corp., predicted the modern pioneers would recelve prices considerably above those prevailing in Midwestern market centers. Co-operative Is Planned. He believed, too, that a co-operative marketing and sales organization planned for the development will pre- vent financial failures suffered by many former Alaska homesteaders. Potatoes in excess of what the colony will need for its own use dur- ing the Winter will find a quick mar- ket at around $2.50 a hundred pcunds, compared with quotations ranging from $1.50 to $2 at Chicago, depend- ing on grade, Irwin said. Fresh vegetables, of which there ap- peared little probability of a surplus this year, could be sold for nearly double their price in Seattle. string beans, eagerly accepted by restaurants, brought around 7 cents a pound at Anchorage at the same time they sold for 3 t5 4 cents wholesale in Seattle Egg Prices Soar. While a top price of 30 cents a dozen for eggs prevailed in Seattle to- | day, prices at Anchorage, 40 miles from here, varied from a minimum of 50 cents to 65 cents. A dollar a dozen is a common price during the Winter —with almost none available. The Open All Day Saturdays wueersi J COOLED STORE FINAL CLEARANCE Entire Stock of SUMMER SHOES D. C., WEDNESDAY, production of the co-operative poul- try farm planned for the settlers will average 85 dozen a day, Irwin said. O. F. Ohlson, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, estimated towns along the system from Pairbanks to Seward offered ready markets for $250,000 of Matanuska produce an- nually, with additional/ seasonal de- mands from mines, fisheries and ral- road maintenance crews. Retribution After 40 Years. For causing willful bodily injury 40 years ago, an old man at Prerov, Moravia, has been summoned te pay & fine of $1.85. The date of the al- leged offense was 1896. In a train on the way to Vienna he had an argu- ment with a fellow traveler about opening the window and finally smacked the man's face. PRI All Hats Sold in Persia. As the result of the Shah's order abolishing the traditional national headwear, hat stores of Teheran, Per- Sia, are sold out of European hats. AUGUST 14, 1935. LABOR FEDERATION OPPOSES SALES TAX Green Says Levy Puts Burden on Peor and “Even Un- employed.” By the Assoclated Pre: ATLANTIC CITY, N. J,, August 14. —Opponents of the sales tax had or- ganized labor on their side today. The executive council of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor instructed President William Green of the fed- eration yesterday to urge affiliated State federations to work for repeal of the sales tax in any States which have it. Green said the sales tax transferred the burden of relief to the poor and “even to the unemployed.” He expressed pleasure at reports from Washington that the P. W. A. was considering employment of union men only. ADVANCED SALE Jurius GarrinexeL & Co. F STREET AT FOURTEENTH 75 v v OF NEW WINTER | Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. | ress of Industry.
