NORWEGIAN RUM RUNNERS OUTDO U. S, SMUGGLERS j Take Liquor Out of Country, Then Sneak It Back in Again. OSLO. Apnl 11.—Dr pite strong ' iblic resentment in Norway over 'io shelling oi th" Norwegian r amcr Juan by a United States <oast guard < utter recently, there ! one group in this country which ’ mpathlze.s with the troubles ol i e American <oa * giiaifl service. I'liat is the Norwegian coast ,’uard, which ha. n smaller terri--1 i'.v to patrol but face’- chfTiculiics ’i many respects fully as great as 'lie Americans. Norwegian coast guard difficulties en-r chiefly because of the length and irregularity oi the coast line, affording numerous opportunities l< r rum runners from other Baltic countries to land contraband cargo The fact that neighboring Baltic > ountrles allow and even encourage 'he manufacture and exportation ol liquors by letting them be shipped and it v fr r e. at the . amc time placing heavy faxes on liquors lor home < on’ :irpt ion. l a added further to t. or way ha imilar law and the\ have led to ihc development of :■ I t .'hi;, intricate smuggling system throughout the Baltic coasts Return Liquor to Ports Te d's apprehending foreign I muggier- the Norwegian coast guard ha flu additional problem | not faced by the Americans of pro-! venting Norwegian liquor ships Irom ; bringing their cargoes back into! tin countr;. after casting off from; domestic ports. Many Norwegian rum smugglers! find it'profitablc to buy large quail- j thirs of liquors, receive properly indorsed clearance papers front thei customs agents, and sail in the brightest daylight from the busiest j Norwegian port;. ostensibly for loreign ports. When the first night falls, how- j ever. ; nine of them turn their ships! about and head back to Norv; smuggle their liquor through the; coa t guard and sell it for prices i equal to liquors that have had high , taxes paid on them. the Norwegian coast guard also 1 does not have the backing ol strin- | vent enforcement laws, and smug- ; glers 1 mther are emboldened because they do not fear double crossing m the form of payments in forged bank notes. No Increase of Drunkenness Norway’s partial return from a dry to a wet country is regarded in many quarters as a significant confusion of the failure oi prohibition. There are no public bars, but lo ci option prevails within certain limits. Spirituous liquors arc sold under a state monopoly in certain shops, but liquor always may be. bought at some note’s and restaurants. No noticeable increase of drunkenness has been observed in Norway since complete prohibition wes removed. EAT LIME: NO DIVORCE Absence From Dirt Makes Persons Nervous, Cruel, Says Doctor.

I. nited Press Staff (orrespondrnt WASHINGTON, April 11.—The Hoover administration scrap heap lor pomp and tradition received a other addition -g the painful process of selecting the precise table chair in which Mrs. Edward Everett Gann shall be seated at official diplomatic functions. Chair No. 1 having been selected, Mrs. Gann will occupy it tonight for the first time under the new rule at the dinner being given at the PanAmerican union by Don Carlos Davila. Chilean ambassador.

Stimson, secretary of state, vufw has made his department’s donation in the form of an ornate tradition. Sacrifice U. S. Tradition No less than the state department's prerogative of making rules of social precedence in Washington was sacrificed to Stimson. They lie today on the top of the Hoover administration scrap pile, the latest contribution of the new administration broom, which has been sweeping uncommonly clean since March 4. Secretary Stimson refused either to uphold or reverse former Secretary Frank B. Kellogg's ruling that Mrs. Gann. Vice-President Curtis’ sister and official hostess, was inferior in social rank to wives of ambassadors and ministers. Stimson informed both Curtis and the diplomatic corps that Kellogg had no legal right to make the rule, and said the diplomats would have to decide the matter for themselves. Stimson says it is inefficient and undignified of the department to deal with such matters and. furthermore, there is no legal justification for it. No Further Adivcc “Therefore,” he told Curtis, “I am instructing the department to

give no further advice or suggestions in such matters.” Pursuant to those instructions, Stimson revealed the powers of the department’s division of protocol would be suitably amended. Although Mr. Gann asks to be given no official status and has held himself strictly aloof from the controversy over his wife's position diplomats were somewnat surprised to find his name on invitations to a reception the Vice-President is to give at his hotel. Friday. The invitations which bore this official seal, read: "The Vice-President and Mr. and Mrs. Gann at home Friday April the twelfth at 5 o'clock.” TROTSKI STRIKES BACK Defends Sale of Articles to U. S.
