Philippines Shows Temper Against U. S. By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst As a young nation sensitive of its independence and national pride, the republic of the Philippines frequently has shown bursts of temper against the United States. But never in the long run have these outbursts ..been allowed to damage permanently the peculiar affection existing be twee n the P hilippines and the United States which gave the Filipinos their independence in 1946 and established them as a showcase of democracy in Asia. This is another period of temper. As result, President Diosdado Macapagal has cancelled a scheduled visit to the United States next month. The source of Filipino indignation was congressional failure a weefc ago to approve a $73 million appropriation which was to pay off the last of the Philippines •damage claims from World War II In the years since independence, U.S. aid to the Philippines has been as considerable as the quarrels have been numerous. In 1950, President Truman dispatched former Undersecretary of the Treasury Daniel W. Bell to Manila to check charges that $2 billion provided by the U.S. had not been used wisely. The Bell report criticizing corruption in the Philippine government raised a storm of indignation. But it also resulted in Philippine tax and land reforms, establishment of minimum wages and continued U.S. aid. The United States also aroused Filipino anger on the question of U.S. bases in the Philippines and jurisdiction over crimes committed by U.S. servicemen. These differences simmered for years until the Philippines finally won a greater voice in the use of the U.S. bases and agreed that jurisdiction over criminal cases should be split—U.S. jurisdiction if committed on-base, Philippine jurisdiction off-base. In the end, it seems that the present case will be settled as peacefully as the others. Philippine war damage claims have stropg supporters, t hi ' -TresWent Eisenhower fa vored payment and so does President Kennedy. Kennedy al ready has taken steps to start the bill through Congress again, with hopes of passage during this session.

Illegal Liquor Is Still Big Business

Editors Note: The repeal of prohibition did not mean the end of the bootlegger. Syndicates still exist and there is a widespread business in illegal liquor. This dispatch tells how the federal government combats ft. By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Bootlegging did not die when Al Capone went out of business. Speakeasies are still with us although they are not so plush as they were when "imported champagne" made of cider and raw alcohol cost S4O a bottle and Miss Texas Guinan greeted her customers, "Hello, suckers.” The federal government still has 900 agents deployed against bootMarch 1 they seized about 2.7 million gallons of moonshine and mash and arrested 6,423 persons. The federal tax on a gallon of 100 proof whisky is $10.50. A favorite subject for cartoonists is the hillbilly wearing overalls who runs a hot still and wages hot war against the “revenooers.” The alcohol and tobacco tax division of the Bureau of Internal Revenue doesn’t think he’s funny. Dwight E. Avis, director of the division, says more than 90 per cent of the stills and mash seized were found in the southern states. “Our biggest enforcement problem,” said a spokesman, “is that not many persons in the South really consider bootlegging and moonshining to be crimes. They are strongly against murder, theft, rape, arson and speeding on the highways, but they have great tolerance for the moonshiner. “I know a bank president in a southern city who runs into moonshiners o ccasionally when he is on hunting trips. He sits on a log and passes the time of day with them. It would never occur to him to turh them in.” A moonshiner’s profit rate is fantastic. Within 72 hours of going into business he can pay off his initial investment and have a profit. He can make a still out of an old boiler or a discarded gasoline drum for a maximum of $l5O. He probably raises his own grain, he has an outlay for sugar. It takes him about 72 hours to run off 100 gallons of moonshine. He sells it in half gallon fruit jars and the going price is about $2 a jar. Subsequent batches are -al most 100 per cent profit. The syndicates have no interest in making corn whisky- They concentrate on producing alcohol and

it comes out. 190 proof. Then it goes through an/elaborate chain before it reaches the lips of the ultimate consumer. The -alcohol usually is put into five-gallon cans. The manufacturer sells this to a wholesaler for $35 a can. Two trucks meet in the middle of the night, the wholesaler loads up and takes the alcohol to a storage place or “drop.” The next voice heard is that of the retailer, the man who operates a speakeasy. The price to him is $45 a can. He usually takes two five-gallon cans, or three at the most, in one transaction. Then he cuts the 190 proof alcohol by adding an euqal amount of water out of the faucet.

There is no attempt to color or flavor the alcohol. The going price is 25 cents a shot or $1.25 a pint to the ultimate consumer. House Probers Not Sold On Army Plan WASHINGTON (UPI) — Si x House investigators bluntly told the Army Wed. that the administration has failed to sell them on the need for a military reorganization plan which would eliminate eight National Guard and Army Reserve divisions. Defense S ecretary Robert S. McNamara and other Pentagon officials have "testified the plan would st rengthen U.S. reserve forces by putting more money and men into high priority combat units. But Chairman F. Edward Hebert, D - La., in a formal statement at hearings by his House armed services investigating subcommittee, declared:, , "I, for one, would rather err on the side of too much rather than too little. I’d rather be safe than sorry.” Hebert said the House group had held weeks of hearings during which the reserve reorganization plan was examined in detail. “In summary,” he said. “I am not convinced at this time that the Array him «we UP W|th the answer to the reserve problem.” Five other members of the House subcommittee amfounced their full agreement with Hebert.
