HOOVER LIMITS WHITE HOUSE VISITORS' LIST President Insists Calls be “On Business Only:” Bars Publicity Hounds. fl f Prrit>t>i-JfoK4rd AlUavrs WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.—Presidet Hoover has undertaken a difficult and delicate task in forbidding the use of the White House threslihold as a springboard into newspaper headlines for publicity seekers. Members of congress have frequently taken advantage of this system by announcing plans for some measure to benefit their local constituents following a conference with the President. They may have visited the Chief Executive only to inquire after his health, but they always give the impression afterward that he was “in cordial sympathy” with the proposition that is designed to win votes back home. Senators and representatives invite the President to make addresses or write letters to local gatherings at least twice a week. Though there Is rarely a chance that the President will accept, the congressional petitioner always tells “the newspaper boys" in the outer office that the President has “taken the Invitation under consideration.’’ Then for the Intervening weeks the particular senator is the biggest figure in his state. Those days will be no more if Hoover applies his new rule in thoroughgoing fashion. Too Many Invitations Ex-Senator William M. Calder of New York, for instance, pays an annual visit to the White House to invite the President to address a spring parade of Sunday school children in Brooklyn. Senator Wagner of the same state always seeks the presence of the President at Tammany’s “Naturalization Day.” Southern senators regularly petition him to attend Confederate encampments, while northerners ask him to honor G. A. R. conventions. In the past presidents have played their part generously in this little game of ingratiating members with their constituents. But if Hoover requires that future conferences be confined to government business, he will work a hardship on the legislative branch. Question Dry Ban Washington is also wondering whether, the various dry organizations which supported the President so wholeheartedly last fall will come under the ban. And how about the committee of 1.000. consisting of such eminent figures as S. S. Kresge and John D. Rockefeller Jr.? Each spring this law enforcement group used to visit ex-President Coolidge. breakfast with him on sausages and wheat cakes and then issue formal statements on the necessity of more effective application of the dry laws. President Hoover will have an embarrassing choice in deciding whether this organization should be at arm s length, like the Anti-E >e Law Alliance. or whether its "' is entitle it to greater consideration. The new rule will also work a hardship on movie actors, stage folk, baseball players, channel swimmers. tennis stars and sundry people of the amusement world.

MUNI GIVES SCREEN REAL SOUL ACTING “The Valiant" Proves That Talking Movies Can Reproduce Legitimate Dramatic Characterizations. BY V ALTER D. HICKMAN. ANY have asked the question-Can the talking screen give us legitiThe answer has been given in the affirmative by the star and the Hirpctor of V&li3.ut* ftn jill-t&lkcr. Paul Muni is more of a legitimate actor than he is a movie star Probably nobody but a legitimate star would tackle a straight dramat c storv of the nature of “The Valiant. ’ There is not a laugh in the entire picture. It is really a dramatic story of the soul struggle of a young man not to reveal “f sentenced to the electric chair for murder. The lad never does, but it

It is such acting that gives one iaitn in the future of the screen. You are really only concerned in three principals, maybe four. It may not be a box office picture, because it may not get the mob, but it deserves honest consideration and support because it is gigantic dramatic acting on the part of Muni. The vaudeville portion of the bill is easily dominated by the Lockfords. five in the company. The two chief dancers along athletic lines are splendid.

Inside of Huge Beer Trade Is Bared by Mrs. Willebrandt Honest Brewer Has No Chance Under Permit System, Which Enables Crooks to Reap Fortunes in Bootlegging Game. (In thin article Mr*. Willebrandt, dls cuaalnjf another type of "leak” in the prohlbtion dam. tell* how bunrlin* aetlca on the part of the government played into the hand* of the flr-bv-nijht brewers and encouraged originally honest near-beer manufacturer* to evade' the law. She de scribes how beer is “needled” and describes the magic “wort.”) BY MABEL WALKER WILLEBRANDT. (Copyright, 1929, by Current News Features, Inc.l All rights lot publication reserved through out the world.) IHAVE attempted to describe to some extent up to this point several principal sources of supply for the bootleg fraternity, including leaks through the Canadian border and from privileges exercised by holders of permits to manufacture, sell and use denatured alcohol. There has been persistent leakag, too, from breweries scattered about the country. Under existing laws, breweries or cereal beverage plants, as they commonly are known, are permitted to manufacture and sell “near beer” containing not more than one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol. To manufacture near beer, however, the process involves the creation first, of regular Peer with an alcoholic content of 5 or 6 per cent, or even more. The original product then is dealcoholized, that is, the alcohol is drawn out to one-half of 1 per cent as established by law. Constant leakage of “high-powered” beer has presented enforcement authoritis with an ever-present problem. Alcohol also is “shot” or “needled” into near beer. During the last year an extensive anve against breweries was launched in Pennsylvania. Much available evidence was brought to light concerning the methods in which breweries in that locality “ shot beer,” as the saying goes among the beer barons, but, due to Injunctions granted by federal court from interfering with the privilege once granted, some of these establishmnts still hold permits.

The method they use in Pennsylvania is interesting. Most of the old barons have been driven to cover and forced to operate through straw men. The system utilized works out something after this fashion: The “Malt Brothers,” holding a permit to manufacture cereal beverages, have been caught cheating and have had permissive privileges i revoked. They still desire to con- ; t.inue, but under the law, the door | to further privileges is shut. Get Around Ban Nothing daunted, they secure ! three or four citizens, generally inj dividuals with good reputations, but , keen to place the same, for of course a consideration, at disposal of the beer shooters. This group assembles, organizes a corporation, creates capital stock, promulgates by-laws, elects officers, “purchases the brewery”—on paper, of course—obtains a permit and starts working, with the discredited permittees directing operations behind the scenes. A series of hearings held in Philadelphia in an attempt to eliminate j these organizations, disclosed the fact that officers of “reorganized” j breweries knew nothing about the beer business, had no financial means with which to buy a brewery, knew nothing concerning distributors or the cereal beverage they were supposed to manufacture, did strictly a cash business, made no deliveries and though manufacturing for an apathetic cereal beverage market, were able to keep going, with all finances apparently sound! Reducing Distance in Beer One beer racketeer calmly advised the assistant administrator in Phil--1 adelphia that he was the “fastest beer shooter” in the state of Pennj sylvania, and that if he, the assistant administrator, would leave town ) with his forces for about an hour he would shoot enough beer to hold them for a month. I This same modern brew’er also de- ! livered himself of the statement

less that she becomes rather a tiresome creature. And then she flashes forth with something that quite jnakes satisfied with the entire world. Strange combination, but she seems to get there. Brady-Riddell-Murray - Cunningham combine to give an act along comedy revue lines. The best part of the act is the comedy efforts in song of the three men. I missed the first act, No fault of the act. Now at the Lyric. eon Other theaters today offer: "On With The Show.” at the Apollo; "The Shakedown,” at the Granada: "The Cocoanuts,” at the Circle; "Charming Sinners,” at the Indiana; "Dangerous Curves,” at the Ohio; “Thunder.” at the Palace, and movies at the Colonial.

Boy Finds S4OO Pearl Bw Times Special ANDERSON. Ind., Aug. 13. Wayne Allen. 12, found a pearl in a mussel shell picked up in Mud creek, near his home in the northwest section of Madison county.

that he would “shoot beer any tifiie he could get away with it.” The modus operandi in Pennsylvania is as follows: The regular beer is manufactured and the brewery sends out its “spotters,” or spies, who determine the location of government officers. If the coast is clear the regular beer is quickly “shot” out to what are termed “drops,” the latter being garages, or other convenient hiding places located about the community. During the last year prohibition enforcement officers in Philadelphia unearthed a syndicate which had for its purpose the supplying of information concerning activities of government officers to breweries. This organization was found to have corrupted some seven or eight members of the prohibition organization. It had three offices, one in a city adjacent to Philadelphia operated ostensibly as a radio shop, the two others upstate. Use Discharged Agents Former discredited agents, employed by this establishment, were stationed outside of the entrance to the prohibition headquarters. It was their duty to check in all prohibition agents as they reported in the morning. This information would be relayed to the city adjacent to Philadelphia and thence upstate, where it would, of course, be used to advantage. Another method breweries have utilized, in other sections, to defeat the law was the supplying of nearbeer establishments of products conforming to the one-half of 1 per cent limitations, but accompanied by secret supplies of alcohol which was “needled” or “shot” into the glasses of near beer as served. These difficulties would have been reduced had the government dealt intelligently, fairly, and in a farsighted manner with established breweries when prohibition took effect. Brewers had large investments in plant and equipment and during the first two or three years of prohibition most of them made an honest effort to deal squarely with the government, converting plants to other uses, building up a demand for near beer and disposing of the excess alcohol taken from the beer in a legal manner. Government at Fault Had the government adopted a forward-looking policy and protected the established breweries from fly-by-night competition fostered by politicians, there would have been fewer leaks from the breweries. Instead, however, of restricting brewing permits as far as possible to oldline dependable concerns, prohibition executives too often have construed the law as making any pierson with a nice clean face and no guns sticking out of his pockets, eligible to enjoy such privileges, after, of course, making application in due form and, most important of all, bringing along with the application an indorsement of a congressman, alderman, or some other politicians. Many of these new companies had little invested in the enterprise, knew little or nothing about the brewery business, and were unreliable in every way. The sole object, of course, was to keep about three jumps ahead of the law and while cutting in on the profits of the old established breweries, they not only surreptitiously sold near beer, the kind with the “kick,” but in addition supplied large quantities of alcohol to whisky bootleggers and carried on information agencies and “bribing” on the side. Hurt By Easy Permits The law' provides that before a permit of any nature is issued, prohibition authorities must make a careful investigation of persons w r ho made application therefore. The character of some of the investigations made were ridiculous in the extreme. The general run of such inquiries would constitute interviewing the police chief, a banker, and a fe.v other persons whom the applicant himself probably had named. Under such circumstances, one can well imagine that the applicant would be painted in colors of a most attractive hue.

I think one of the most ingenious evasions of law is that involved In the manufacture of “wort.” The manufacture of this commodity and its sale to “wildcat” or “alley” breweries originated and has flourished extensively in Chicago, and in the eastern district of Wisconsin, especially around Milwaukee. I appreciate the fact that the word "wort” will not sound particularly palatable or cheering to the average reader, either prohibition or anti-prohibition. Let me explain, then, that "wort” Is a brew. It is,

[PLANS ADOPTED FOR DRAINAGE AT FIELD City Engineer Puts Cost at $74,000; Timber Will Be Cleared v Plans for drainage of the municipal airport were adopted Monday by the board of works. Bids will be received in two weeks. City Engineer A. H. Moore estimated the cost of drainage at $74,000. Bids on the clearing of timber on a wooded tract will be received Wednesday. Moore said the engineering department will proceed with construction of two runways, on the north and east boundaries of the field. The runways will run east and west and north and south. They will be constructed with treated gravel at an approximate cost of SIO,OOO. Prefer Turf Landing Moore said the runw'ays will not interfere with future development of the field and are located so pilots can land on turf if they prefer. An effort is being made to dram the field, so turf landing will be possible in most seasons of the year. “Most pilots prefer good turf rather than hard surface runways, but it is necessary to have a treated surface for wet . weather,” Moore explained. Architects See Slack William McGuire of McGuire and Shook, architects who are working on plans for the administration building, conferred with Mayor L. 'Ert Slack today. McGuire said definite plans can not be completed until it is decided whether to acquire the northern entrance. Council unofficially agreed to buy the seven additional acres along Banner avenue to construct an entrance from the National Road. It is contemplated that the administration building will cost between $125,000 and $150,000. TONG WAR IS ENDED Rival Leaders Sign Peace Pact With Consul.

The crew will not be taken off unless weather conditions become worse. in fact, unfermented beer or liquid | malt that contains no alcohol and is used only in the process of manufacturing beer. “Wort” is just like beer, except that the manufacturing process ends before yeast is added. W’ort Makes Beer Now for a secret that probably is no secret at all to my anti-prohi-bition readers, if such there be. To make real beer from “wort,” it is necessary only to add yeast, ferment it, filter and you have beer of alcoholic content. Only one reason exists for the manufacture of “wort” and that is to make it easy for red-blooded American citizens who must have their beer fortified by prohibition “authority,” to get

it readily and quickly. The manufacture of "wort” itself, in view of the fact that it has no alcoholic content, is not illegal, but there are scores of “wildcat” or “alley" breweries that, supplied with "wort” by larger and old established breweries operating legally themselves, quickly turn out real beer, without fear of detection by prohibition agents. Truly, the ingenuity of those who crave a drink is exceeded only by that of those who are willing to supply the wherewithal to satisfy the craving. (The big leak across the Canadian border and the corruption and red tape that makes it possible is the subject of Mrs. Willebrandt’s next article).
