LEGION MASSES FORCES AGAINST RELIEF SLASHING •Not One Cent Off Allowances to Disabled Veterans’ Is Battle Cry. RV WALKER STONE. Tlhim Jitflf Writ*' WASHINGTON. Oct, 14. ‘Not one cent ofF allowances to disabled ' veterans' is the battle cry which Lieutenant, Colonel John Thomas Taylor, head of the American Legion lobby, has sounded to rally | legionnaires against the drive to pare the federal budget by reducing veterans’ benefits Taylor is preparing arguments to present to the joint commitees of congress on veterans’ relief economies, which will open hearings after thp November elections. Meanwhile, he has sent to legion officers throughout the country a ‘■special bulletin," bristling with rharges that large income tax payers inspired the economy drive, and accusing the. economy advocates of misrepresentation concerning veterans’ benefits. The purpose of the bulletin is to provide Legionnaires with ammunition to combat, the attempt of t,he* national economy league to mobilize sentiment for paring veterans* relief. The Legionnaires are expected to use this ammunition particularly In those communities where Admiral Richard E. Byrd goes to organize local committees for the Economy League. Attacks on veterans’ relief, says ♦he bulletin, are inspired by the same selfish class which knows the patriotism of dollars—-and measures all things by that yardstick.'” 'Opponents would have the average citizen believe that the huge taxes weighing him down primarily are due to federal payments to veterans. The statement that World war veterans’ costs will reach $21,500000.000 by 1945, is designed to make the average, citizen f%el that his present unhappy tax situation has an even darker future —due to World war veterans’ payments. “All this to raise hostility and an-

The table is analyzed with a reminder that veterans’ payments come from federal, and not from state and local taxes.

‘BEST WHISKY ! EVER MADE' IS WAITING SALE Kentucky DistiWers Expect New Hoosier Legislature to Change Law. Bu Timm Sprrinl LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Oct. 14.—1n the expectation that the legislature to be elected in Indiana next month, and which meets in biennial session in January, 1933, will modify the Wright iaw so as to permit the sale of medicinal whisky on physicians' prescriptions. Kentucky distilleries are prepared to supply the drug stores of the neighboring state with what is regarded as the best liquor ever sold in the United States. In government bonded warehouses of this state are concentrated some ,*.000.0fi6 gallon? of pre-war whisky, none of which is less than sixteen wears old, and .some of which has been standing In charred kegs for twenty years.

Manufactare Authorized Thp medicinal liquor bill, which passed the Indiana house at the special session, but which fell three votes short of a majority in the senate, contained a clause similar to that of the Kentucky law, which levies a state tax of 50 cents a pint on such w'hisky. It is estimated that this would yield about $240,000 annually to the Indiana treasury on a basis of 60,000 gallons a year being used. As this would be an annual per capita consumption of only about one-sixth of a pint, it is the same as that of Kentucky. Kentucky distillers recently were authorized to manufacture some 1.300.000 gallons of whisky, which, under the federal regulations, can not be bottled for sale for four years. Good Supply on Hand The supply on hand, at the present rate of withdrawal, will last four or five years before the prewar stocks are exhausted, by which time that manufactured in 1929 and 1930 will be available.

West Virginia's general assembly recently passed over the Governors veto a law permitting doctors to prescribe vrhisky. Delaware. North and South Caroline. Georgia. Florida and Tennessee are expected to act on this question, as well as Indiana, in the near future. A number of* states have referendum pending at the November election relating to liquor sales, while Ohio may amend its law to provide for a full pint, instead of the present half-pint, limitation. i Storm w arnings are telephoned or telegraphed by the United.
