HOOVER FACES SHOWDOWN AT ONCEON BEER Steps to Balance Budget Must Wait Until His Attitude Is Known. BY RAY TUCKER Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.—An immediate showdown with President Herbert Hoover on his attitude toward prospective beer legislation is regarded as inevitable by congressional leaders of both parties. Outright wets and former drys are so strong in their demand for revision of the Volstead act that action at the December session is believed to be cert"'... Speaker- Vice - President - Elect John N. Garner, Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson (Dem., Ark.), and Senator Pat Harrison (Dem., Miss.), ranking member of the senate finance committee, lead the move on the Democratic side. Senators David A. Reed (Rep., Pa.) and Hiram Bingham (Rep., Conn.) are two administration men demanding quick action. Advocates point out that modification has become a financial rather than a prohibition question, and that no steps to balance the budget can be made until the President says whether he will beer bill if it is passed by congress. Need Additional Revenue Until he makes clear his stand, congress will not know whether to try to obtain new revenue through Volstead act revision, through a sales tax or through change.of the whole taxation system as it applies to nuisance, income and corporation levies. Drys already have rushed in with proposals that additional revenue be raised by means other than revision of the Volstead act. Republicans, who fought for the sales tax at the last session, including wets like Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, and Bingham of Connecticut, contend that beer alone will not provide sufficient money, and insist on a sales tax. Even Democrats favorable to modification think that this field of possible revenue carefully should be surveyed, in order to determine just how much it will bring. Big Deficit in Sight Estimates of the return from legalization of 2.75 beer vary from $300,000,000 to $700,000,000. A budget deficit of more than $1,000,000,000 Is in sight. President - Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt’s attitude also may figure in this situation. He plans to confer with congressional leaden; during his rest at Warm Springs the last of this month, and it is expected he will urge quick action on beer so as to permit him to take up other problems on his assumption of office. Mr. Hoover has promised to “cooperate” with his successor. Mr. Roosevelt’s friends are wondering whether the spirit of co-operation extends to this question. A frank statement from Mr. Hoover, it is pointed out, will do much to settle the question. It is understood an attempt to get Mr. Hoover's views first will be made by Republican congressional leaders soon after his return here Tuesday. Silent During Campaign Should this fail, it is believed that T ' nocrats will discuss the mat' .vith the President. Aiaiough the Republican platform made no mention of beer, and Mr. Hoover refused to discuss it during the campaign, his attitude on the subject was expressed many years ago. He wrote at that time that “it is difficult to get drunk on 2.75 beer,” which happens to be the content of alcohol proposed in measures now before congress. The President made this statement when, as food administrator, he was asked by Senator Morris Sheppard (Dem., Tex.) to close down the breweries so as to save grain. Hoover also pointed out that, with beer banned and the saloons still operating, it would drive the people to hard liquor. Mandate for Modification On the political side, both Republicans and Democrats will point out to Mr. Hoover that the presidential election was a mandate for modifies *in favor of beer. J jus promised in the Democri platform, and Mr. Roosevelt sai again and again that the Volste -d act would be revised “just as soon as the Lord will let us.” Republicans also think their party ought to try to get some of the credit that may come from this first move to do away with national prohibition. SIXTY VOLUNTEER AID Offer to Speak for County Tuberculosis Society in Seal Drive. More than sixty men and women have volunteered their services as speakers for the Marion County Tuberculosis Society in its campaign to acquaint people with facts relating to the potential spread of tuberculosis because of unemployment and overcrowding in homes. Story of what the tuberculosis Christmas Seal has accomplished in control of the disease will be told before approximately 250 groups of citizens during the next thirty days. Grier M. Shotwell, attorney, has been named chairman of the speakers’ bureau and Russe’’ I. Richardson, director. ELECTION ELATES ITALY Tuscany Wine-Producing Region Goes Wild Over Roosevelt Victory. By United Pns ROME, Nov. 14.—Prospective repeal of prohibition in America was celebrated wildly in the wine-pro-ducing centers of TuScany and elsewhere Sunday—the first Sunday after the presidential election. Return of wines and beer to America will mean much economically to these districts, the residents believe, so the Roosevelt victory was hai’ed on all sides. Bands paraded in the streets of several towns. There were torchlight parades and fireworks.

Gus Hill Today. Before the war. and before that, thousands of performers roamed the western plains like buffaloes and swarmed In the meadows of New Jersey like mosquitoes. They were performers 'of curious kinds, unknown today even to Broadway. They have been replaced In their former hunting grounds by shadows of voices whining through a loud-speaker and shadows of faces flickering across a screen. Shadows defeated by shadows, a few old-timers cluster In the lobbies of troupers' hotels along Broadway or in old-fashioned managers' offices papered with yellow photographs, coning the rear pages of The Billboard and talking of the brave days of the athletic combinations, the minstrels, the traveling rep shows, the Uncle Tom-mers, Buffalo Bill and yes, the silent movies. In a series of six articles, the first of which follows, A. J. Liebling will discuss these old-time performers. Today he interviews Gus Hill, Indian club swinger extraordinary. BY A, J. LIEBLING, Times Staff Writer Copyright, 1932, by the New York WorldTelegram Corporation) “TT'VERYBODY was surprised H/ when I swung those clubs at the Weber and Fields banquet,” said Gus Hill, Invincible Champion Light and Heavy Weight Club Sv. inger and Juggler of the World, who meditates a comeback. “They didn’t know I been practicing with them every day.” Gus, credited by old troupers with having ‘made more money out of the show business than any man who ever lived,” jerked at a drawer in the creaky oak filing cabinet of his midget office. The drawer flew open baring his heart—a collection of pictures of a straight slim youth, who, as he aged through sucessive negatives, sprouted mustaches and medals. “Juggling is nothing,” he said, “Juggling is all timing. Swinging is strength and skill combined. But a club swinger couldn’t do himself justice in this four-a-day vaudeville now. “Vaudeville people now do a walk-on and a couple of songs, they are lazy. There are no ceiling walkers. No female bag punching champions. You would go to the Paramount many times before you saw a collar-and-elbow wrestler now.” Gus, who, according to the unimpeachable evidence of the New York Clipper, was born in 1858, tugged at his still blond mustache. * n n “■pvO you know how I outJL/swang them all?” he asked. “The average club swinger swang to a waltz tune. Os course, heeouldn’t go faster than the orchestra. I used to say to the orchestra leader, ‘Play the fastest gallop you've got.’ “Naturally, I outswang them. I would liked to have worked with a jazz band. “I’ll never forget the night I swang Charley Hoey for the Richard K. Fox world’s championship belt in Mechanics’ hall at Boston. The enthusiasm was tremendous. After that Fox backed me to swing any one in the world for $5,000. “I wonder hov. T many people now ever saw an athletic combination,” he mused aloud. “It was a great form of amusement in the 80’s.” He dug out a copy of the Bijou, a program magazine, “devoted to art, music and drama,” printed “for Wagner opera house, Bradford, Pa.,” in 1883. The principal art, music and drama provided for the patrons on that particular evening was a “Grand Display of the Art of SelfDefense” between Jem Mace, the old gypsy, and Herbert A. Slade, “The New Zealand Giant, who will be matched to fight John L. Sullivan for the championship of America and $10,000." Supporting Thespians were "the two lightweight champions,” Kelley and Murphy, in their original sketch entitled “Scene at a Boxing School;” Mike Lynch, in an Irish specialty with songs and dances, and the protean Mr. Hill 'in Lis own specialty and in collar and elbow wrestling with Steve O’Donnell.” “Real fights were illegal in those days,” said Hill. “They had to sneak out and hold them at some road house, and then the loser often wouldn't get any money. So to keep going, the fighters used to form these exhibition troupes, and the public was crazy to see them. nan "TN the grand finale everybody A had to fight, and if there was an odd number of boxers with the troupe one of them might be paired off with a club swinger or a clog dancer. One show I traveled with I had to fight the original Jack Dempsey every night. % "At benefits for widows of prizefighters who got shot by gamblers and like that it was the same thing. Everybody fights in the finale, and if you didn’t draw blood you lacked sympathy for the bereaved. “It was at a benefit for the sufferers of Ireland in Gilmore's Garden, the old original Madison Square Garden, that Ned Harrigan, the actor, saw me and tipped Tony Pastor to sign me for vaudeville.” The Hill in his name Gus toe* from Harry Hill's old saloon at Houston and Crosby streets, the favorite hangout for the fancy in his young days. His family name

Woodcut impression of an athletic exhibition. was Metz, and his father, also Gus, owned a sawmill and furniture factory. William Muldoon, the present rather sanctimonious Athletic commissioner, was Graeco-Roman wrestling champion and one of the great stars of the traveling athletic combinations. “Muldoon the Solid Man,” a title which has clung to the commissioner, was a Harigan and Hart song hit of the period and had nothing to do with this particular Muldoon in the beginning. Gus is of the opinion that the wrestling Muldoon staged hippodromes of which Commissioner Muldoon would not approve, but he admits, ‘even in those days he was a very moral feller.” If he was in a smoking car playing poker and he saw a young fellow with a cigaret, he would take it away from him and give him a lecture.”

a MULDOON would offer any man in the house $25 to stay fifteen minutes. Ernie Roeber, the present wrestling referee, once won the money by holding on to scenery, pushing Muldoon through a backdrop representing the grand canal in Venice and conducting a guerilla warfare among the trees depicted on the wings. Thereafter he pursued the Muldoon combination every time they play a theater with scenery, and the champion would not talk to him for a year. Finally they came to an agreement and their matches thereafter were models of harmless ferocity. “Some of the fellows in the shows, of course, were just fast exhibition boxers,” says Gus. “In a theater they would look like a million dollars, where real fighters like Australian Frank Murphy, who took forty rounds to warm up. would look slow. “The real pugs used to kid them, call them ‘looking glass fighters.’ Johnny Dwyer, from Brooklyn, was the best of -the lot. He got sore and said that even though he didn’t like it he would fight one finish match just to prove he had the stuff. He foughf'Jimmy Elliott, a good heavyweight, and cut him blind with the bare knuckles in two rounds.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“QOME of the boys were real *3 talented theatrically. Jack Dempsey, the Nonpareil, and his brother Martin, the collar-and-elbow wrestler, were good clog dancers. Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider, was a fine song-and-dance man. “Kelley and Murphy could put on the greatest fake fight you ever saw, but you knew it was rehearsed and you paid 50 cents to see it. Today you pay sll and you don’t know.” Gus, who incidentally produced Augustus Thomas’ “Arizona” and “Through 'the Breakers,” which was Owen Davis’ first play to TRUFFLE HARVEST IS UNDER WAY IN FRANCE Pigs Snort, Dogs Bay in Annual Dordogne Forest Fete. PARIS, Nov. 14. The truffle hounds are baying and the hunting pigs are snorting and snouting in the oak forests of Dordogne where the annual truffle harvest has just opened. Prospects indicate high quality in truffles this year, though the quantity is lower than usual, and high prices will prevail. The “black diamonds of the kitchen” are found in the sandy soil under oak trees in a certain'corner of Dordogne. When the trees die off, or are destroyed by storm, the truffles go with them. The packs of hounds and pigs are taking during crisp November weather into the woods and sent to rooting in the sand. The pigs, their snouts tied with leather throngs, are better than the dogs at truffle hunting, though both work by sense of smell. The dogs root up truffles with, their forepaws. The pigs use their snouts. POISON TABLETS FATAL Young City Woman Dies of Mistake; Took Bichloride of Mercury. Miss Opal Stone, 28, of 825 Nqrth New Jersey street, died on Sunday night in city hospital from the effects of bichloride of mercury she swallowed by mistake, Nov. 4. Miss Stone, unable to sleep, had gone to a medicine cabnet to obtain aspiring when she picked up some poison tablets.

A COLD PASSES THRU 3 STAGES! It ia Twice as Easily Stopped in the First as in the Second or Third Stages! A cold passes through three stages —the Dry Stage, the first 24 hours; the Watery Secretion Stage, from 1 to 3 days; and the Mucous Secretion Stage. Once it gets beyond the Dry Stage it is far more difficult to relieve. Therefore, treat a cold promptly. The best thing you can take is Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine, because it does the four things necessary, in the way required. It opens the bowels. Kills the germs and fever in the system. Relieves tne headache and grippy feeling. Tones the entire system and fortifies against further attack. This is the relief you want—complete, thorough and decisive I Trust to nothing less. Effective as it is, Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine is absolutely safe to take. No narcotics. No bad after-effects of any kind. Relief with comfort! The whole world knows Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine as the standard cold tablet. 'Comes in handy, pocket size box, cellophanewrapped. Get it at any drug store.

reach the stage, and half a hundred other hits, sighed for the real days of his life. “Barney Demarest, the horse trainer, once took a barnstorming troupe down to Scranton,” he said, “and therei was no business. So I offered SSO to any man who could stay four rounds with me. It was a little out of my line, but anything to oblige a friend. “They brought in a big coal miner and I think he could have licked me, but he wasn’t used to the stage, naturally, so I pushed him through the footlights and he fell on his head in the orchestra pit. “They said it was a foul, but I said I didn’t say anything about fair or foul. All I said was he wouldn’t stay four rounds.” When Gus became a theatrical manager later, his most lucrative enterprises were the “cartoon comedies” with which he infested the town halls and opry houses of the land, featuring characters of the early comic strip successes, like “The Yellow Kid” and “Happy Hooligan.” In his next article Mr. Liebling will write of the “Uncle Tom’s Cabin’*- shows.

AMNESIA VICTIM HELD Ann Arbor Tailor Awaits Arrival • of Wife to Take Him Home. Clouds were lifting today from the mind of Harry Bancroft, 46, Ann Arbor (Mich.) tailor, who is held by Indianapolis police on a technical charge of vagrancy, until his wife arrives to take him home. Bancroft left Ann Arbor ten days ago driving his Studebaker coach and told police he is unable to account for any of his actions since then, except that he dimly remembers coming to Indianapolis from Coluhibus, 0., by “hoping a freight.” He told police he does not remember where he left his car or what prompted him to leave Ann Arbor without warning his wife or employers.

The old-fashioned mouth washes must be used full strength to be effective. So Pepsodent Antiseptic was made powerful enough to be diluted and still kill germs in less than 10 seconds—yet it is completely safe when used full strength. Don't risk health It’s costly enough to use a mouth wash that should be used full strength. But it’s more costly to dilute that mouth wash and not kill the germs. That’s why we warn you to choose an antiseptic that, even when diluted, kills germs. Insist on Pepsodent Antiseptic—and be safe. Safeguard health and save money.
