By Scrlpps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—President Herbert Hoover may recommend legislation for stabilization of the coal industry in his forthcoming message to congress. Such action was urged on him by Representative Clyde Kelly (Pa.), joint author of the Davis-Kelly coal bill, now pending in congress, and at the conclusion of a long conference Kelly expressed the belief that “the President will have something to say on the subject in his message.” In a speech at Clarksburg, W. Va„ ten days before the election President Hoover expressed his concern over the plight of the bituminous coal industry, and expressed the opinion that marketing associations must be formed. In an earlier talk at Wheeling, President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt urged federal help for the coal industry. CORN YIELD 1$ LARGE Exceeds Expectations; About Same as in 1931.

U. S. BREWERS DUG OWN GRAVE

Arrogant Rule of Beer Moguls Brought on Prohibition

This Is the last of six stories on the present movement for return of beer, a movement Intensified by the recent elections. BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Writer (Ooprrleht, 1932 NEA Service. (Inc.) AMERICA’S brewery are all set to come back with a rush that will make the California gold stampede look like a Sunday school picnic. Many of the plants which have been kept in condition by manufacture of near-beer, are ready to start producing at a month’s notice. Owners of other are getting cash ready to plunge into refitting their plants as soon as they see daylight ahead. The stocks of breweries and allied industries, such as cork and seal companies and bottle makers, have been soaring on wings of hope. There have been many financial reorganizations, like that by which Pabst of Milwaukee recently was absorbed by the Premier Malt Products Company of Chicago. Pabst is an old brewery tracing back to 1844, while the Premier Company is of post-prohibition date. There have been many such reincorporations, consolidations, recapitalizations, and other readyings for beer throughout the country. In Pittsburgh 50,000 shares of the reorganized Ft. Pitt brewery were sold in two hours. No fewer than 211 breweries throughout the country are ready to start shipping beer the minute the law permits. They have stocks on hand which insures no delay. It would take a week perhaps to issue the necessary permits. Among the famous breweries thus ready for action are Anheu-ser-Busch in St. Louis, Schlitz, Pabst-Premier and Miller in Milwaukee, Ruppert in New York, Rayner in San Francisco, Alamo in San Antonio, Abner-Drury in Washington and Schmidt in Philadelphia. All these and many more have cereal beverage permits, and they have in their storage vats anywhere from a month to three months’ supply of real beer from which the alcohol has not been removed. nun THESE breweries are widely scattered throughout the country. Os the 211 permit breweries now operating, 44 are in Pennsylvania, 30 in New York, 12 in New Jersey, eight each in Illinois and California, nine in Minnesota, five in Maryland, 27 in Wisconsin, 18 in Ohio, four in Missouri, three in Colorado, and three in Indiana. The others are scattered throughout the nation. An idea of the reduction in even these apparently large numbers is had In the fact that before prohibition Pennsylvania had 166. New York 101, Ohio 73, and Wisconsin 72. All of which means that the organized brewing interests have been not dead, but sleeping. And not exactly sleeping either, for in 1925 the United States Brewers’ Association began its campaign for repeal. nan THIS association includes most of the big brewers in the country. It was organized in 1862 by Frederick Lauer of Reading. Pa., and grew to have great political power in the country until the Anti-Saloon League came along and went it one better. There is now no doubt whatever that the arrogance of this organized brewing power was one of the greatest factors in its abolition. The brewers admitted as much in 1916 when, in a series of curious advertisements, they regretted “the false mental association” which linked them to the worst saloons, confessed that they were largely responsible for this, and offered to show if given a chance that they were ready to reform the saloon and to promote temperance. u n n THE rise and fall of lager beer and that is what modern Americans have always meant by beer) dates from 1842. The flood of German immigration which came in the latter half of the last century led to the building of the great mldwestern breweries, and gradually was converting the United States from a whiskydrinking to a beer-drinking country. By 1913 the brewing industry had a stake of a billion dollars, and it played the game to win, often with little scruple as to

McNutt Urged to Name White to Relief Post

Veteran South Bend Civic Worker Is Backed for State Post. Appointment of Jay E. White, veteran South Bend social and civic worker as director of the state unemployment bureau, today was being urged on Governor-Elect Paul V. McNutt by American Legion and welfare organization members. The post now is held by Dr. John H. Hewitt. It was created by Governor Harry G. Leslie when unemployment over the state became acute. White, one of the state’s outstanding authorities on employe cooperation, a progressive and a liberal, for thirteen years was connected with the co-operative department of the Studebaker Corporation. He resigned several months ago to do field work for McNutt. In 1931, White was runner-up for the post of state commander of the American Legion, but was defeated when Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson supported Ralph Gates, former Republican district chairman. At the outbreak of the war, White was engaged in the export business in New York. Selling his business when war was declared, he was commissioned captain of engineers and became traffic manager for the

method. The organized breweries controlled the saloon through mortgage bonds and the ability to control their supplies of beer. Thousands of saloons were financed with brewers’ money, much as the big oil companies now finance gas stations. Money was dumped into doubtful states to control elections. Members of the United States Brewers’ Association paid dues of from a half-cent to more than a dollar a barrel, according to how badly the money was needed to fight the drys. A million dollars was poured into the fight in Ohio in five years. But by this time the drys were playing the game, too. The AntiSaloon League had seized the leadership from other dry organizations. It gradually gained the support of most of the evangelical churches and the churches as such were in the fight up to the hubs. n u WAYNE B. WHEELER, able organizer, brilliant lawyer, relentless foe of the saloon, and for years the real director of the league’s work, testified that it spent not less than $35,000,000 in thirty years’ work. Literature by the carload poured from its presses at Westerville, O. By 1914 it was spending $2,500,000 a year. When the World war came, there were again thirteen bonedry states, but most of the others had various forms of control, local option being the most popular. Centralization in Washington, drastic measures of all kinds, became the order of the day. Everything German, including the brewers and their beer, became suspect.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

United States brewers are rushing equipment orders, confident that beer soon will be legal. Above are workmen in a Cleveland plant working on brew equipment. Officials of the company say 500 additional men will be employed on the basis of the flood of brewers’ orders. Right, Frederick Lauer, who founded the United States Brewers’ Association in 1862. His family established a brewery at Womelsdorf, Pa., in 1823. Below, a beer demonstration at Newark, N. J.

In July, 1917, Senator Morris Sheppard’s resolution to submit a bone-dry amendment went through the senate, most of the short debate was concerned with its war aspects. Then it passed the house, with, provisions allowing the brewers a year of grace after final adoption, and allowing seven years for that adoption. There was much else to think about. On Jan. 8, 1918, the first state, Mississippi, ratified. In September, 1918, the government closed the breweries to save grain and man power, and approved “wartime prohibition” (which became a law just fourteen days after the war ended, and went into effect seven months later). THAT helped smooth the way in the state legislatures, as did the fact that nine more states went dry during the war. The states rapidly fell in line, and on Jan. 16, 1919, the thirty-sixth state, Nebraska, ratified. To this day, of course, the wets have insisted that they were jobbed, and the drys have in-

and President-Elect Roosevelt are trying to solve, as the result of the •action of European nations in asking suspension of debt payments due to the United States on Dec. 15, with a view to revision. The big money bag at the left shows the total amount of the war debts owed the United States by the thirteen principal debtor nations, due to be paid in sixty years. It also shows the division between principal and interest. The bars show the individual status of the five biggest debtors—how much they owe, how much of this is represented by principal and by interest and how much they have paid on their debt thus far. It will be noticed that the interest rates differ widely, because of varying t concessions granted by Uncle Sam. For every dollar originally loaned Europe, the United States is due to collect approximately SI in principal and interest over the period of sixty years. In this sense, there has been no “cancellation” of any part of the debt. But in the debt settlement agreements with the various nations several years ago the original interest .rates were reduced greatly on the grounds of “capacity to pay” and for other reasons. On this basis, some statisticians figure we have “canceled” 23.9 per cent of Europe's obligations. * u * THE gist of the present situation is that these nations intended to pay their debts to Uncle Sam with reparations payments they collected from Germany. Germany, according to the Young plan, was supposed to 'pay the allies $26,377,000,000 —principal and interest—in installments over the next fifty-nine years. Similarly, these nations were to pay the United States principal and interest to a total of $22,143,000,000. At Lausanne last June, Great Britain and other nations agreedon condition—to let Germany off

sisted that ratification was an inevitable and logical result of long progress. The Volstead act was passed in jig time by both house and senate, having been carefully prepared in advance with the help of the Anti-Saloon League. President Wilson vetoed it on a technical ground, but it bounced back to him the next day with an overwhelming majority. The climax had come. A cause to which, thousands of devoted men and women had given years of service had triumphed. The golden dream had come true. In Norfolk, Va., Billy Sunday, in his tabenacle, was peaching the funeral service of John Barleycorn. Midnight of Jan. 16, 1920. The “corpse” was drawn to the door in a huge coffin, trailed by a frayed and abject devil. Sunday’s voice rose: ‘“Good-by, John! You were God’s worst enemy! You were hell’s best friend! I hate you with a perfect hatred!” But now it is thirteen years after that night, and the “corpse” is pounding lustily at the lid of his coffin. / THE END

for $714,000,000 instead of the $26,000,000,000. The condition was that the allies would let Germany off, provided the United States radically would reduce or cancel the war debts. n n THE United States’ position has been that the reparations due from Germany and the war debts owed this government are unrelated —that, regardless of any reduction in German reparations payments, Uncle Sam still expects payment of the debts owed him. Avery large part of the money that Uncle Sam already has collected from his war-time associates has come originally from America in the form of post-war loans to Germany. Fairly recent figures show that in a certain period the allies paid Uncle Sam $2,000,000,000 on their debts. In this same period, Uncle Same had lent Germany $2,500,00,000 and Germany had paid $2,000,000,000 in reparations to the allies. Thus, In practice, this government had lent Germany all she had paid her creditors and a half billion more. WOMAN KILLED BY CAR Ft. Wayne Resident Struck as She Walks Across Street.

WARNS HUNGER MARCHERS' TRIP MEANSJISERY Glassford Says Suffering Is Awaiting Protesters at Washington. BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Staff Correspondent fCoovrixht, 1932. by United Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, former police chief, who handled law enforcement here during the troubled days of the bonus army invasion, warned today that any march on Washington by veterans or other groups would lead to a winter of “misery and hunger.” He spoke out in an interview, describing his experience with hunger marchers, veterans and radicals who traveled by rail, by motor and on foot to lay special demands on the doorstep of congress. Glassford resigned as police chief because of differences with the District of Columbia commissioners over “reorganization of the police force.” An Invaluable Lesson Towering more than 6 feet tall, clad in rough trousers and a leather packet, General Glassford stood before an open fireplace in his home and summed up his experiences and beliefs. “Whether we agree with the federal government’s action or not,” he said, “the eviction of the bonus army was an invaluable lesson to the American people. “It stripped the mantle from the federal administration, and showed the administration undeniably out of sympathy with the interests and welfare of the common man. “It made the people conscious of that situation, and showed them the way to use the ballot against it. Welded U. S. Veterans “It welded the country’s veterans into a well-organized group, making it possible for them to unite for the welfare of the entire nation, irrespective of possible preferential demands for veterans’ legislation. “Incidentally, I just have returned from a trip around the country, during which I talked to leaders of many veterans’ organizations. All of these groups absolutely are opposed to any sort of march on Washington this winter. “So far as the so-called hunger marchers, and other such organizations are concerned, there is absolutely nothing they can gain by coming here. Not Interested in Job “From a purely personal standpoint, I can see no objection to groups petitioning congress, provided they are financially capable of taking care of themselves. Any group that is not self-supporting and can not take care of itself is simply laying itself open to months of misery and suffering.” Since Glassford’s resignation, rumor has connected him with all sorts of jobs in any number of cities. He commented on those rumors thus: “I am not interested in any job, political or otherwise, unless it offers a chance for real constructive service, particularly in ameliorating the present conditions of poverty and distress. Neither money nor anything else would be a factor in case I should take such a job.” FIX FIRE PREVENTION COURSE FOR SCHOOLS New Program to Be Launched; Private Citizens Bear Expense. New program of fire prevention in Indianapolis schools, announced today by Julian Wetzel, board ipember, includes written examinations in each school with Grades 5, 6, 7 and 8 participating.

CHARGES G. 0. P. PUT KLAN TAG ON ROOSEVELT Printer Tells Philadelphia Probers He Was Asked to Deny All. BY PAUL COMLY FRENCH United Press Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19.—Cards urging the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt and signed “Ku-Klux Klan” w’ere ordered by a Republican boss for distribution in Negro districts, a printer testified here Friday. “Then,” Benjamin Newman, the printer added, one of the boss’ assistants “took me to the Bellevue Stratford hotel this morning, before this investigation was resumed” and the w’ard leader "told me to deny everything.” NewmanV testimony provided the climax of a sensational series of charges voiced by witnesses before the congressional campaign expenditures committee. It is investigating charges of fraud in the presidential election in this state. Judge Drunk, Is Charge Before Newman had told his story, other witnesses had claimed that: An election judge was drunk, took thirty-five minutes to count five ballots, and “slept through the rest of the count.” As much as SSO was offered to Democratic watchers to leave the polls and go home. That Republican workers tried to scare Democratic w’atchers and voters away from the polls. One watcher said she was given a “false alarm” that her home w’as on fire. Names W’ard Leader The ward leader named by Newman in his sensational testimony was Alexander Lichtenstein of the Thirty-second ward. The* card he said he printed at Lichtenstein's order read: ‘ We urge you to support Roosevelt and Garner.” It was signed “The Ku-Klux Klan of Philadelphia.” S. Davis Wilson, who filed the charges of irregularity in the Pennsylvania election, said the Republicans attempted to convince Negroes and foreign born that the Democratic ticket was supported by the Ku-Klux Klan. Offered SSO to Leave Highlights in testimony of other witnesses included that of Ann Millward. She said Republican workers tried to scare her into going home by saying her home was on fire. “Then they offered me SSO to go home. I told them I wouldn’t go for ten times that.” Wilson interrupted the proceedings to announce that he wanted to call General W. W. Atterbury, president of the Pennsylvania railroad; William S. Vare, Republican boss; Samuel Vauclain of the Baldwin Locomotive W’orks, and other leaders in an attempt to prove conspiracy.” “We’ll go into that later,” Chairman Hearstill (Dem., Ark.) explained. “We may hold a further hearing in Washington, or come back here.” May Call Mill Workers “It doesn’t make any difference where you hold it,” Wilson suggested. “The other men I want to subpena are millionaires, and can pay their own expenses to Washington.” And just before the hearing closed for the day, Ragon announced he might subpena mill workers and owners in Montgomery county. T. Duncan testified that mill owners on the Saturday before election told employes that if Hoover was not elected “they needn’t return to work.” Today the committee held hearings in Wilmington, Del., and then will return to Washington.
