LEGAL GAMBLING URGED FOR RELIEF Maryland Legislature Would License Bookmakers and Pin-Ball Machines. B3 the Associated Press. ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aprii 1—A brand-new relief tax program, in- volving State-wide legalization of bookmaking, proposed licensing of pin-ball and vending machines, stamp recording tax, and a reregistration of all automobile operators, emerged ear~ ly today from a joint session of the Legislature's two money committees. The program, decided upon after a three-hour meeting ended shortly be- fore 2 am, would net an annual revenue of approximately $5,060,000. It was designed to supersede an earlier schedule of proposed taxation which include levies on soft drinks and patent medicines, as well as the relief taxes now in effect. Opposition Is Developing. Senator J. Allan Coad, Democrat, St. Marys, and Delegate Kent R. Mullikin, Democrat, Prince Georges, chairmen of the Senate Finance and the House Ways and Means Com- mittees, respectively, were instructed to draw up a bill embracing the pro- gram for introduction in both Houses later in the day. Although the licensing of book- making would be State-wide, any county desiring exemption would be accorded this privilege, the joint com- mittee group decided Meanwhile, opposition began de- veloping today among county mem- bers of the Legislature to a proposal to place under supervision of the| Board of State Aid and Charities the | spending and allocation of all State | funds for relief and allied purposes. Relief “Omnibus Bill.” That proposal is included in the telief “omnibus tax” bill introduced last week by Senator Coad. The law which expired at midnight last night provided that so much shail be set aside for old-age pensions, aid for dependent children, aid for the| needy blind and that the remainder shall be distributed 50 per cent to Baltimore City and 40 per cent to the | various counties for relief. The dis- tribution to the counties was made on & basis of population, not on a basis of relief needs. And the counties could use those funds for general governmental pur- poses and not for relief if they so de- sired. Many counties with small re- lief loads made such use of those funds. Coad's proposed bill, however, pro- vides that any distribution to the counties shall be “distributed on the | basis of need (relief need) as de- | termined by the Board of State Aid ! and Charities.” Other Provisions in Bill. ‘The bill also provides: ““The controller shall set aside such sums as may be necessary to meet the quarterly allocations approved and to be made to the local units on warrants of the controller approved by the Board of State Aid and Charities, for the payment, or contribution to the pay- ment of, old-age pensions * * *; aid to dependent children * * *; general public assistance (direct relief) to the | unemployed, employables, or both; also the cost of administration for the | {nvestigation and certification of per- #ons eligible for work on governmental | ‘projects. * * * Administrative costs as to disbursements under this sub- section, plus the administrative costs of program for assistance to the needy blind, shall be paid out of the funds derived from local sources, or out of allotments from State funds, or both, es the Board of State Aid and Char- lties may prescribe. . “The Board of State Aid and Char- | tties shall have the power to transfer available money from the State appro- priations made for any of the several forms of relief administered by it to any other of the funds so administered to provide for unforeseen shift in cases from one category to another, or to eover other needy persons who do not fall into the various categories of pub- lic assistance specifically mentioned in the social security act.” MRS.

It ran like this: Crisp celery hearts, ripe olives, whole shrimp dipped in mayonnaise on toast rounds, barbecued young chicken, browned caulifiower with cheese, hubbard squash, buttered peas, pineapple - grapefruit - apricot salad with French dressing, icebox whole wheat rolls and gooseberry and currant tart with whipped cream. That was the menu by which she was declared winner last night of the second national cookery competition of the Women's National Exposition of Arts and Industries. Six women competed and Mrs. Angell was tops. Here is how she makes barbecued chicken as shown in the cook-off: Ingredients—Three chickens of 1Yz pounds each, 2 bottle Worcestershire sauce, 1!, bottles tomato catsup, 4 pound fat (2 tablespoonfuls butter), 3 buds garlic, 14 cup beefsteak sauce, 1 large onion, chopped fine; % cup vinegar, dash of pepper sauce, Y4 cup A—4 z%%® THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

COOL RECEPTION DUE. Powers Opposed to Arms Cut Now, Observers Say. LONDON, April 1 (#).—Any feelers by President Roosevelt's Ambassador at | large toward disarmament in a hastily rearming Europe will get a chilly re- ception, it appeared today after dis- closure that might be a mission of Norman H. Davis. A member of the Ambassador’s suite said British press conjecture placing such additional construction on Davis’ presence for the International Sugar Conference was “not far-fetched.” Line-up of Powers. ‘This, however, was the line-up of major powers' reaction of the pros- pect of such a move by the American envoy: Italy—Opposed to disarmament. Germany—Cool to disarmament, but might enter a conference without en- thusiasm, just to be a “good fellow.” Austria and the Balkans—Little op- timism for disarmament prospects; Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria contending “defeated nations” should be permitted to increase their military establish- ments, even if their neighbors scaled down theirs. France—Favorable in principle, but reserved concerning success of such a large-scale attempt at this stage of the game, Britain—No oomment, but willing to listen. European statesmen appeared more willing to talk about plans to expand world trade, especially in sugar. Some quarters said solution of world trade problems which now hobble com- merce would pave the way for con- ferences 'eadng to disarmament. But the die has been cast for Euro- pean “defensive” armament schemes, it was said, and they could not be called off without elaborate prepara- tions and mutual guarantees. Comment of Officials. Spokesmen stressed that all na- tions were striving for disarmament as an ideal which would remove the tive in the Missionary Circle and v rious other work at the church. 1 Surviving are a son, Paul Suckney‘ Rice, Rochester, N. Y.; a daughter, | Mrs. Roy H. Bolster, Los Angeles; two | sisters, Miss Katharine Stickney and | Miss Rosamond Stickney, and two brothers, Frank L. and Bryan H. Stickney. The sisters and brothers all live at the Chapin street address. After residing in Massachusetts until | 1918, Mrs. Rice came here to live with her brothers and sisters. Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow at the residence. Rev. Dr. W. S. Abernethy, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, will officiate. Burial will be private. South Africa’s population is shifting strain of heavy taxation and make many raw materials availabl. for pri- vate commerce rather than defense. While Davis was here ostensibly to confer on sugar with experts of other nations next week, an authoritative source said he might also take the op- portunity to re-emphasize three basic points of the Roosevelt foreign pol- icy—peace, disarmament and inter- national economic co-operation. In so far as Britain was concerned, Davis would “take up vhere Mr. Run- ciman left off in Washington,” said one of Davis’ companions, referring to recent talks between Walter Runci- man, president of the . -itis’ Board of Trade, and administration leaders in ‘Washington. This would be & resumption of Anglo-American conversations looking from the country to the cities. toward reciprocal lowering of tariffs. Citizens Score Victory Over Democratic Style Architecture Citizens of Le Roy Town, Genesee County, N. Y., a Republican strong- hold, represented in Congress by Rep- resentative James W. Wadsworth, jr.. scored a victory over the Democratic style of architecture, as the Procure- ment Division of the Treasury today began to revamp plans to change the appearance of the newly completed $97,000 post office which Le Roy spurns on the ground that it is “short and squatty.” Everything, according to the As- #ociated Press, was all set for a big day at Le Roy Saturday when the postal business of the village was to be transferred from rented quarters to the structure which was described as “an architectural duplicate of the famed Radcliffe Memorial Library at Then the critics swung into action. Figuratively speaking, they raised the roof, and the Treasury decided it would have to do likewise—not fig- uratively but actually. Postmaster General Farley believes in having his patrons satisfied, so the changes are alright with the Post Of- fice Department. In fact, Postmaster John Gleason, at Le Roy, sald he had been advised to cancel the dedicatory exercises until and it the building is satisfactory. The Post Office Depart- ment is not immediately concerned anyway, for the problem is entirely up to the Treasury until custody of the structure is turned over. No figure was given as to the cost of satistying the esthetis tasts of Oxford University."” = Le Roy. A the statement that the C. I. O. seeks to establish a “Soviet America.” “We ought to know the truth of that,” Anderson said Boykin, declaring that union leaders have disclaimed responsibility for use of the sit down, emphasized that somebody, in this instance the House of Representatives, should determine where such responsibility belongs. The ultimate cost of such tactics, he continued, are being borne by the consuming public, adding that prices in Detroit have jumped 1272 per cent since the strike wave began. Harlan, taking most of the commit- tee's time before it went into execu- tive session, declared he could see no purpose to an investigation except “to g0 on an exploring expedition, bring union officials before the committee, stir up new trouble between the A. F. of L. and the C. I. O. and disclose what few secrets unions still retain despite the espionage tactics of in- dustry.” Beyond an inquiry, he said, Con- gress is powerless to proceed since the Supreme Court has made plain its limitations with regard to legislation. “I think the opposition to the sit- down strike is of the same type as that directed against all labor de- velopments of the past,” he con- tinued. “The sit-down is no more of a shock to the industry group than the various steps in labors advance- ment since 1300.” “If the interests opposed to the sit-down insist on fighting every effort of the Government to help regulate the relationships of labor and industry, then we're going to have sit-down strikes,” he added. On the statement of Boykin that he had read in a newspaper that Gov. Murphy of Michigan declared himself yesterday in favor of such an inquiry as that proposed, Represent- ative Cox, Democrat, of Georgia ex- pressed doubt that the State Execu- tive would support such a move “in view of his record in recent labor dis- - MOTORISTS OPPOSE TAX FOR PARKS USE ‘The Keystone Automobile Club went on record today as opposed to pro- posals pending in Congress to main- tain trees and parks in Washington with automobile tax revenue. A statement issued by George E. Keneipp, Keystone manager, also con- tended the Department of Motor Ve- hicles and Trafic would not need funds from gasoline taxes for its main- tenance, as proposed, if diversion of this income to the District general fund was stopped. Keneipp estimated annual expenses of the department at less than $200,- 000, while the personal property tax on motor vehicles brings in approxi- mately $900,000 a year and driver permit fees $100,000. GONORRHEA CURE IN DAY REPORTED 59 of 64 Cases Responded Successfully to “Fever,” Doctors Say. BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLFE, Associated Press Science Editor. NEW YORK, April 1.—Artificial fever was presented as & new medical “specific,” a definite cure in one spe- cial disease—in this case gonorrhea— by 25 physicians yesterday at the First International Conference on Fever ‘Therapy. “Cure” was the word repeatedly used by several of these physicians. They said that not every case is cured. But they reported ‘cures” ranging from 170 to 90 per cent of cases treated. The greatest boon, they agreed, is reduction in time from the two to six months’ treatment required by previous methods. Many cases have been “cured” by fever in one day. One 10-hour “session of fever of 106.8 degrees,” sald Mrs. Arthur Elmer Belt and Alvin Willlam Folkenberg -|of Los Angeles, was tried on 64 cases. All but five were cured. 59 “Cures” Reported. The other 59 “have been found,” the report said, “consistently free from organisms following the 10- hour session.” Forty of the cases were acute, that is, in early stage, in which cures are often easiest. The other 24 were chronic. The single fever treatment, the Los Angeles doc- tors declared, worked essentially equally well in both types. The “striking rapidity of the cure” was reported by Drs. J. Janet of Paris and M. R. Dreyfus of the Hospital Necker, Paris. Failures were attributed to three causes: 1. Newness of the treatment. 2. Occasional strains of germs able to stand more heat than doctors thought safe for patients. 3. Advanced age or other physical weakness mak- ing fever too risky. The special importance of fever treatment to women with gonorrhea was reported by Janet and Dreyfus and by Drs. W. M. Bierman and E. A. Horowitz of New York. Bierman was last night honored with membership in the French Legion of honor for his fever work. Fever treatment in women, these physicians said, avoids the major op- erations often otherwise required. Dr. Bierman reported 121 women treated by fever in six years with 93 per cent success. Three United States Medical Corps physicians reported a year's experi- ment comparing & group of soldiers treated by old methods with another using artificial fever. “Fever therapy,” they stated, “ac- complished more cures in gonorrhea in the male than does chemotherapy | (medicine).” These Army men were Capt. E. H. Parsons, Maj. P. N. Bowman and Lieut. D. E. Plummer. Dr. Stafford L. Warren of the Uni- versity of Rochester School of Medi- cine said it is possible to test time needed to kill each type of germ and time the patient’s fever accordingly. One case of gonorrheal heart dis- ease, a malady generally regarded as hopeless, was reported ‘“recovered” through fever by Dr. Hugo A. Freund and Dr. Walter L. Anderson, Harper Hospital, Detroit. Another supposedly hopeless type, gonococcal blood poisoning, was re- ported successfully treated with fever by Onis G. Hazel, College of Physi- cians and Surgeons, New York, and Dr. William B. Snow, Presbyterian Hospital, New York. —_— |ARLINGTON RITES FOR MRS. LINCOLN Daughter-in-Law of President Long Prominent Figure in Washington. Mrs. Robert Todd Lincoln, 90, daughter-in-law of President Lincoln, who died yesterday at her George- town home, 3014 N street, will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery beside her husband and son, Abraham Lincoln, 2d, following private funeral services at the residence. The burial also will be private. The time for the service was to be decided later, it was announced at the home. Mrs. Lincoln was a prominent fig- ure in Washington while her husband served as Secretary of War under Presidents Garfleld and Arthur. Later her husband went to London as Min- ister to the Court of St. James under Benjamin Harrison. She and Mrs. Harrison were close friends for years. ARLINGTON BURIAL FOR COMDR. TRAYER Lieut. Comdr.
