HYDE COVERING ALL PHASES IN BEERJNQUIRY Hint Hoover Ordered Probe to Refute Arguments for Legalization.

&U Scripps-H award Ketcspnper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Study of the economic effect of the return of beer now being conducted by Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture, will cover the whole field rather than the relationship between legalized beer and agriculture. Although Hyde said at first he planned to study only the prospects of additional crops resulting from modification of the Volstead act. It was learned today that his investigators are looking into the questions of employment resulting from brewing and all allied industries, additional government revenues, railroad tonnage,' beer's tendency to lower consumption of dairy products, etc. The question of new federal revenues will figure large in Hyde’s inquiry, it is understood, because of the farmers’ need for reductions of federal and local taxes. Point to Enforcement Act Almost every spokesman for agriculture contends that the farmer’s condition will improve tremendously if the tax burden, which takes about one-third of his income, can be lightened. Figures show beer alone would provide approximately $250,000,000 annually for Uncle Sam’s cash box, in addition to doing away with an annual bill of $50,000,000 for enforcement. The inquiry is understood to have been ordered by the White House, following the disclosure that Walter Newton, President Hoover’s political secretary, had asked for information on the jobs legalization of beer might make. Newton said then that he was obtaining the data for an “outside” source, denying it was for the President. Moreover, he confined his researches only to the number of jobs the brewing industry itself would provide, not taking in collateral activities. Hope to Strengthen Hoover It was believed the Newton survey reflected a desire to refute wet arguments that brewing would help to lift the depression rather than to pave the way for administration backing of the proposal. Preliminary reports of studies by Hyde, a Missouri Methodist dry, as he has pointed out, indicate he hopes for conclusions which will strengthen Hoover’s prohibition policies. Many saw more than coincidence in the fact that anti-prohibition data issued by the executive committee of the National Grange contained the same figures recently made public by the department of agriculture as a result of a partial survey. The statement by Grange leaders declared the return of beer would hurt the farmer because it would reduce consumption of dairy products which go into the making of bread, pastries, milk and similar beverages.

ADMITS KILLING GIRL Youth Reveals Choking of Companion in Auto. By United, Press LOS ANGELES. Oct. 2.—A pastyfaced youth who appeared 16 years old instead of 19, as he contended, faced removal to San Diego today for questioning concerning his purported confession that he killed pretty Louise Tauber last April and left her nude body hanging from a tree. The youth, Lowell M. Bell, has been in jail here since last May when he , was arrested for petty theft. He had just been sentenced to the state reformatory when, shaking and sobbing, he asked to make a confession. His story that he choked the Tauber girl to death during a drunken frenzy, was told freely and then as freely repudiated, Captain William Bright of the sheriff’s office said. Bell said he and Miss Tauber started for Tia Juana in a stolen automobile. He had been drinking alcohol, he said. When Miss Tauber resisted his advances, he choked her with the sleeves of his coat, he said. CALL CARUSO’S WIDOW Court Order Issued on Ownership of $50,900 Ring. By United Press NEW YORK.

TELEVISION TO TEST TALENTS OF RADIO STARS Hardships in Prospect for Acts Requiring ‘Prop’ Equipment. By .VEA Service NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—When television comes, a lot of the boys and girls who earn big dough .feting before a microphone will have to change their tactics to keep their jobs. Particularly true is this in the case of alleged radio humorists who for the last ten years have been putting across, more or less sueJ cessfully, tricks of their trade. For some the switch to television will act as an aid to their stunts for, it has been said, putting humor on the air without the aid of acting, is very difficult. But to others It will mean a lot of hard work. A1 Jolson, Eddie Cantor and other exponents of the blackface art, except perhaps Amos ‘n’ Andy, will probable find the switch to their liking—if it comes before they are walking around with the aid of crutches. Phil’s Job Difficult Outside of black faces, all the props they will need will be suitable scenery and appropriate clothes. But picture the difficulty Amos ’n’ Andy, Phil Cook, the Gloom Chasers, the Nit-Wits, NBC’s Kuku group, Gene and Glenn and others would have. Phil Cook, man of many voices, would have probably the most difficult jcb getting his humor across. In the first place, as one man, he couldn't put across his various characters unless he was a rapidchange artist and could flash in and out of the studio, changing into the clothes of his various characters without spoiling the continuity of the program. Amos ’n’ Andy Face Problem Oh, yes, Phil would have a tough time. Amos ’n’ Andy, due to the large number of parts they play, would have the same trouble. The Gloom Chasers also would have difficulty. Their act calls for such a variety of nonsense that it would be hard to get across while the listeners were also looking on. It would be extremely difficult to dress up members of the Nit-Wit and Kuku groups to make them look as silly as they sound on the air. Costuming Big Factor The Gene and Glenn team would encounter some of the difficulty of Phil Cook, as Gene portrays not only his own part but that of Jake and Lena. Costuming will be a big factor in the success of television. To provide the necessary clothes, changes of scenery and properties that go with a thrilling mystery story broadcast, the re-enactment of an opera by radio, many of the present continuities and all of the dramatic skits, would require an additional outlay which would make television an expensive stunt and would confine it to the net-works, if that class of broadcasting could afford it. St. Louis Book Circulation Up By United Press ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2.—During the last .year the city library circulated 110,797 more books than in the previous twelve months —the record due, officials said, to the depression.

THREATENED BY DEATH; INSISTS ON SEEING PEAK National Parks Director Is Flown Around McKinley in Ambulance Ship. By Scripps-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Strang# requests often are made by people who feel themselves under the shadow of death, but few’ are more novel than the desire to fly around Mt. McKinley, expressed by Horace M. Albright, director of national parks, when seized with a critical attack of appendicitis, in Alaska, recently. . Albright still is very much alive and on the job and just has returned from a summer spent in the field. Hut late in July, when he was stricken without warning, just after arriving at Mt. McKinley park, in Alaska, he thought his hours were numbered. The park is in the wildest portion of Alaska, 150 miles from the nearest hospital. An airplane was summoned from Fairbanks by wireless, however, and landed next day on a dry river bed to take Albright ta the Fairbanks hospital. “I made up my mind I was not going to die without seeing Mt. McKinley,” said Albright. “After havin been in the national park service many years and having seen practically all its wonders except Mt. McKinley, I was determined not ta be cheated. “I figured if the operation was not successful, at least I’d have seen the highest peak in North America before passing out. So I prevailed upon the pilot to fly around the peak and spend an hour or two inspecting the park from the air, before we headed for Fairbanks.” Albright found modern hospital and nursing facilities awaiting him after the queerest ambulance ride on record. He was confined three weeks at Fairbanks and then repeated his flight around Mt. McKinley before coming home. Seven Ears Sprout From One BANGOR, Me., Oct. 2.—C. C. Patterson, 75, of this city, picked an. ear of corn from whose base seven smaller ears sprouted.

What the Railroads Are Doing The railway situation has been receiving much public attention through the hearings of, the application for an advance in freight rates, and the urgent necessity of the rate increase has been fully presented. At the same time the public may have received the impression that this is the only thing the railroads are doing to improve their situation. That is not the fact. Where it has been possible to effect a net gain in revenues by reducing rates, such rates have been reduced. Unprofitable operations have been eliminated. Drastic economies have been instituted. Schedules have been speeded up, and other improvements in service have been made. Increased attention has been devoted to selling railway service and to making it even more courteous and dependable. The public deserves to know that while the rate case has been pending the railroads have not been idle in these other directions. What they have been doing strengthens their plea for increased rates. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. President, Illinois Central System Chicago, October 1, 1931.
