SCHOOLS ‘GOAT’ IN LEVY CUTS, SAYS WILLSON 1 —— ■ 1 % Hamstring Through Unfair Legislation, Is Charged in Address. Hamstringing of the Indistiapolls public schools system through unfair legislation was changed Friday by Russell Willson, school board president in an adress to the Exchange Qlub at the Washington. Ther school board has been handicapped in its efforts to carry on an adequate educational program for next year, WlllSon asserted. He. pointed out that revision of the school budget for the year, ending June 30, 1933, has necessitated curtailment of school funds to th extent that forty-one school days must be cut from the term. This forty-one day loss can be reduced to fifteen days, if the next legislature “has a heart” and provides for a year suspension of the contribution to the schools sinking fund, Willson said. Points Out Law Under the law, he pointed out, the school city is required to set aside a suni equal to 5 per cent of the school city’s Outstanding bonded indebtedness, which would amount this year to approximately $500,000. “There can be no moratorium on education,” Willsdn told the club members. “Our children of today must be educated today or the opportunity is lost forever. . “We may delay building, sewers, playgrounds or municipal golf courses until next year or the next when more taxes can be ‘wrung’ from the taxpayers,’but in the case of education, It means future happiness and capacity for service if they get itA-if they do not, it means misery and igorance. “Being Made the Goat” “Although the school" board has been assailed by political anch other storms in past years, its operations never have been threatened by such a financial cyclone as now. “The school city is being, made the goat. The new tax adjustment board, after a wek of wrangling, has ordered a cut in the school :.tax rate of 16.7, or about $870,000. “Political subdivisions may go blithely on with their spending, but to hamper the educational program in Indianapolis means a definite retreat. x HOOVER EXPECTED TO URGE COAL- LEGISLATION Stabilization of Industry Probably Will Be Sought in Congress. By Scripps-Hovjard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—President Herbert Hoover may recommend legislation for stabilization of the cdal 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 KeUy expressed’ the belief that “the President, will h^va ?: jpmething to say on the iubjeaLfir*.fcii?message.” ' In a speech at Clarksburg, W. Va., ten days before the election President Roover 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.

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 ICoDTrlxht. 1032 NEA Service. (Inc ) AMERICA’S brewers 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 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, recapitalizationsv and other readyings for beer throughout the country. *ln 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.” n tt n \ THESE breweries are widely scattered throughout the country. Os the 211 permit breweries novfc operating, 44 are in Pennsylvania, 30 in New -’York, 12 in New Jersey, eight each in Illimois and California, nine in Minnesota, five in Maryland, 27 in Wisconsin, 18 in Ohio, four in Missouri, three in Colorado, and three ill 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 Stater BteWerT Association began - its* campaign ■ for repeal. - ’ a u a THIS association includes most of the big brewers in the country. It was organized in 1862 by Frederick Laue'r 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. nun 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 midwestern 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 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, atcording 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 AntiSqiioon League had seized the leadership from'other dry organizations. •* It gradually gained the support of most of the evangelical churches apd the churches as such were in the fight up to the hubs. # ( B. WHEELER, able * * organizer, brilliant lawyer, relentless foe of the saloon, and for years the real oirector of the league’s work, testified that it spent not, less than in thirty years’ work. Literature by the carload poured from its presses at Westerville, O. By J 914 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 VEgrious 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. 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,

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 oA the basis of the flood of brewers’ orders. Right, Frederick Lauer, who founded the United States Brewers’ Association in 1862.

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.

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 coflan. THE END

BEAR SCOOPING UP FISH WITH PAW HELD MYTH Oregon Naturalist Says Animals Capture Prey With Mouths. By United Press PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 19. —w. L. Finley, Oregon naturalist, who has gained international fame, disputes the popular belief that a bear scoops fish out of the water with his paw. Fin.ey should know. lie spent many weeks last summer on Admiralty Island, southeastern Alaska, watching Kodiak bears go through their paces. He has also studied and filmed hundreds of other bears of varying nationalities. “A bear’s fishing technique is most interesting,” said Finley. “The bear %wffi plunge into a stream and rush down the middle of it until he gets to a pool. 'He will plunge into the pool, frightening the salmon or other finny denizens. When the fish, trying to escape, reach shallow water, the bear pounces upon them. He uses his paws to corral the prey, but once t£is as. accomplished, he picks up the fish inr his mouth and goes ashore to eat it.”

WARNS HUNGER MARCHERS' TRIP MEANSJISERY Glassford Sufferirfg Is Awaiting Protesters at Washington. BY HARRY FERGUSON United Pres* Staff Correspondent (CoDvrißht. 1932. by United Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Gen. eral Pelham p. 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 hungen.” He spoke out in an interview, describing his experience with hunger piarchers, veterans and radicals who traveled by rail, by motor and on foot to lay special demands on the d#3rstep of congress. Glassford resigned as police chiei 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 •Jackeet, 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, “th 6 eviction of the bonus army was an invaluable lesson -to the American people. , “It stirpped 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 the mto unite for th 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.” W. C. T. U. LAYS PLANS TO SAVE PROHIBITION Determined State Fight Outlined at Meeting Here. Plans to prevent repeal of prohibition laws were formulated Friday by the executive committee of the W. C. T. U., meeting at the Y. M., C. A. The campaign will take the form ox speaking and educational programs in all Indiana counties, it was announced. Several nationally known prohibition workers will be brought to the state to assist in the drive, among them Miss Grace Scott, member of the national W. C. T. U. headquarters staff. The committee refused to discuss the legislative program. In the past, dry interests have been fostered by registered lobbyists at sessions of the legislature. Slogan for the antirepeal campaign was announced as “Advance—Not Retreat.” Mrs. Elizabeth T. Stanley, Liberty, is president of the state organization.

STATEHOOD FOR CHICAGO URGED BY EDUCATOR Political Scientist Says Plan Is One of Seven Roads Out of Jungle. By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 19. —Statehbod for Chicago is suggested by Professor Charles E. Merriam, political scientist at the University of Chicago. in a survey on the area's multiplicity of overlapping governments made public Friday. The idea of making Chicago the forty-ninth state is one of seven “roads out of the jungle” of local governments presented by rPofessor Merriam. His report, an impartial study, was sent to Governor-Elect Hdnry Horner and Representative El inert J. Schnackenberg, chairman of the legislative committee which is considering the possibilities of consolidation. The statehood plan involves federated independence for corporate Chicago, or for the Cook county area within Illinois, or for the entire region, including parts of Wisconsin and Indiana. Downstate hostility to such a plan might not be complete,.in view of the possibility, he pointed out, that a growing Chicago region means inevitable political control of the state by the metropolis.

LIRDY WANTS ONLY privacy; SAYSJAWYER Tired of Publicity; She Has No Pians Now for Future. By United Press WINSTON SALEM, N. C„ Nov. 19. —Libby Holman Reynolds, once the popular toast of adoring Broadway theater crowds, today wants nothing but to be let alone. “Libby is tired of publicity, of seeing her name blazoned .across the front page of every paper she picks up; she but privacy now,” her chief counsel, Benet Polikoff said here today. Polikoff returned here after a trip north to tell Libby the state of North Carolina had dropped charges of murder against her and Albert (Ab) Walker in connection with the fatal shooting of her husband, Smith Reynolds, young tobacco fortune heir. “I won't tell where I saw Mrs. Reynolds, because she wants to be let alone with her parents. She is living quietly, few of her most intimate friends knowing where she is,” Polikoff said. He quoted her as saying she had no plans for the immediate future, other than to care for her baby which she expects to be born in February. She may return to tha stage later, but that is uncertain, he said “Lib.-y is not happy,” Polikoff said. She can not understand why the public could think she is happy over the disposal of the case, since nothing can bring back her husband.” LAW-AGAINST DUELING, GERMANS IGNORE IT Ex-Champion Fencer of Heidelberg Now Missouri U. Professor. By United Press COLUMBIA, Mo., Nov. 19.—Dr. Hans Winterkorn, once the champion fencer of Heidelberg, now is associate pfrofessor of chemistry at the University of Missouri here. He says there is a law against dueling in Germany, but that it is regarded “like your prohibition.” If a man is tried and convicted of dueling he is sentenced to three months in a fort or castle as more or less a military prisoner. “It is* only the Socialists and Catholics who object,” said Dr. Winterkorn. “The Communists feel that if the students want to fight each other, so much the better for them. The government as a whole is sympathetic with fencing.” DRUG STORES ROBBED Two Bandits Escape With Loot After Pair of Holdups.
