MRS. WILLEBRANDT AIDS WINE MAKING Took Tmportant Part in Liberal Attitnde Assumed ‘Washington, Oct. 2 (UP) — Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, general- ly thought of as an ardent dry dur- ing her years of official life, stood forth today as the individual re- sponsible perhaps more than any other for the liberalized attitude to- vard wine making in the home. Mrs. Willebrandt, a charming hostess, shrewd attorney and clever business woman, has maintained her contacts since stepping down from her position as assistant at- torney general, where she had an active part in prohibition enforce- ment. At the same time she has en- larged the field of associations, and as representative of California grape interests has had much to do with developmente permitting an oxpansion of that industry. The announecment of Prohihition Director Woodcock that enforcement agents would not disturb home wine-makers has stimulated the vineyard industry to such an extent that advertisements setting forth a policy of heightened activity al- ready have appeared in trade jour- nals. Some wineries haye announced an intention to advertise in news- papers as the California grape crop moves eastward. Mrs. Willebrandt had conferred with Woedcock on the wine subject before his announcement. Shortly after his arrival to take over the new post, he was entertained, with prohibitior® administrators here for the school of enforcement methods, at Mrs. Willebrandt’s delightfully old fashioned Georgetown home. Mrs. Willebrandt's guests on other occasions—she entertains frequently —have included Anti-Saloon league and Women's Christian Temperance Union leaders. As yet there has been no protest from prohibition sources at Woodcock's liberalized attituda on wine. Dry leaders say theer is nothing new in Woodcock’s stand. They re- fer to Dr. James G. Doran’s some- what similar statement. But Dr. Doran was not as definite a8 Wood- cock. At any rate, the grape growers never followad it up so enthusiasti- cally as they have the new declara- tion. In addition to arguing ¢onvincing- ly here for a more liberal viewpoint on home-made wine, Mrs. Wille- brandt has introduced an applica- tion for a permit to manufacture wine for medicinaly/ flavoring and sacramental purposes.-The applica- tion asks transfér of permits held by individual wineries to a new cor- poration, Fruit Industries, for which Mrs. Willebrandt is counsel.

This figure, the association said, while not claimed to be infallible- was on an 18 months study of pro- duction of materials used in manu- facturing spirits, wines and beer, deducting the estimated amount used in legitimate industry. It calcu- lated average retail prices of 50 cents a gallon for beer, $2.30 for wine and $11 for spirits. The drink bill, it maintained, “ex- ceeds the most liberal estimate of what we would have been spending it the eighteenth amendment had never been enacted.” 5 ““We believe that $2,500,000,000, exclusive of revenue,” the associa- tion added, “is a generous estimate of what we could have been spend- ing today if there were no prohibi- tion. We can find no basis for the sweeping claim that we should now be spending from $3,000,000,000 to for drink if there were no prohibition.” The wet estimate of liquor ex- penditures was contained in a pam- phlet issued under the title “Does Prohibition "Pay?” In addition the the pamphlet took issue with the claim that prohibition had increased productivity of workers, asserting report of President Hoover's committee on recent economic charges was taken as a guide and it “nowhere mentions prohibition as a factor in the increased output of working men.” Credit Machinery “The increased output of workers can be accounted for,” the report said, “By the increased use of power, improved machinery, mass produc- tion, personnel management and simiilar factors which are quite outside the control of the individual worker.” The association estimates the per capita consumption of beer at a little over one-fourth the pre-war figure, with wine consumption near- ly doubled and the use of spirits Most Nurses Use New Face Powder MELLO-GLO, the new wonderful French Process Face Powder, is preferred by nurses because of its purity, and they say it does not make the skin dry and drawn.

FORD PREDICTS BIG 'RAISE FOR WORKER \Says $47 Will Be Daily Eamn- ings in 1950 New York, Oct. 2 (UP)—Henry Ford, in a new book to be published tomorrow, predicts that in 1950 American workingmen will receive a minimum wage of $27 a day, the 5-day-week will be observed uni- versally, and there will be no un- employment. Ford foresees a new industrial revolution in the next 20 years out of which the worker will emerge & man of leisure, capable of balancing | {production and consumption and banishing unemployment. His views are set forth in a volume entitled “Moving Forward,” written in col- laboration with Samuel Crowther. The wage prediction is based on the rise in hourly stipend since 1910. {Twenty vears ago Ford was paying an average of 25 cents hourly and |now he is paying $1. “If wages have been multiplied | by four in 20 years they can be mul- | tiplied by more than that during th Inext 20 years” Ford says. the fault will be & human one—it will be due to lack of intelligence.” Cites Four Rules Ford lays down four principles for American industry to follow: fherc is nothing “rt | wages do not continue to increass 1. To make an ever-increasing large quantity of goods of the best possible quality, to make them m the best and most economical fash- jon, and to force them out on ths market. 2. To strive always fcr higher quality and lower prices as well us {lower costs. 3. To raise wages gradually but continuously, 2nd never to cut them, 4. To get the goods to the con- sumer in the most economical man- ner so that the benefits of low cost production may reach him.
