HOW TO KEEP OUT SALOON IS BIG PROBLEM Term Has Wide Variety of Definitions; Bitter Fight Foreseen. by RAYMOND CLAPPER Vnited Preu Staff Correspondent (CopvrlKht. 1833. bv United Pre*) WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—One of the most- difficult problems riding down on congress, as It prepares to consider fundamental prohibition changes In the session beginning a week from today, is how to prevent the return of the saloon. Already this has provoked wide differences among repeal advocates. Some want to put their antisalcon insurance into anew constitutional amendment. Others would leave it to individual states. Difficulties in defining the term have appeared. The question is one of the first willing to be threshed out when congress starts on this highly controversial prohibition problem. Speaker John Garner has indicated he wishes to consider various forms of repeal before deciding which one to throw his forces behind. v Glass May Revise Measure When the senate meets It will have, before it as unfinished business from the last session the proposed repeal amendment of Senator Carter Glass (Dem., Va.). It Is possible, however, that Glass may withdraw his measure for* revision. Asa life-long dry, who says he has never tasted liquor. Glass has sought to bridge the chasm between the prohibition views of drys from the south and extreme wets from the north. He tells his extreme anti-prohibi-tion friends that they never can obtain the two-thirds necessary to put through a repeal amendment, without Incorporating safeguards insisted upon by drys. What Is a Saloon? One of these is a clause which prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors "for consumption at the place of sale commonly known as a saloon,” etc. Critics of this restriction, such as Senator Hiram Bingham (Rep., Conn.) said that if the phrase were construed literally it would prevent serving In restaurants and hotels, and would leave the country still with the speakeasy as an illegal saloon. Would the large chain drug stores, which have become half restaurant in recent years be permitted to serve beer and wine with their lunch counter food. Senator Glass has said he did not believe his proposed amendment would prevent the sale of liquors in hotels or restaurants. When this definition of a saloon was challenged, he said: “Mr. Webster defines a saloon as, ‘A place where intoxicating liquors are sold and drunk; a grog shop.’ The term is* used commonly of a place where there are no lodgings or regular service of meals as in a hotel.’’ Variety of Definitions Both presidential candidates, both party platforms, and most senators and members of congress are on record as being opposed to the saloon. Pressure is strong for incorporating some restriction against the saloon into the proposed amendment. But the variety of definitions causes fear among many interests opposed to prohibition that some definition may go into the Constitution which would curtail their marketing plans subsequently. Senator Ashurst (Dem., Ariz.) defines a saloon as: “A place where intoxicating liquor is sold, and is drunk perpendicularly.” The supreme court, so far as is known, has never made a definition of the term. What State Courts Say State courts, however, have construed it in various ways, including the following: “Places where persons resort to obtain food or drink, which are not also devoted to some other business.”—Michigan. “Does not include an indexed park in which such liquors are sold.” —Connecticut. “May be applied to a place retailing spirituous liquors, or to many other kinds of places.”—Texas. “A shop or room wherein is kept a varied assortment of liquors which are sold by the glass, drink, or at retail.”—New York. “Includes a restaurant, or eating house, where intoxicating liquors are sold for consumption by guests with meals.”—Colorado. Cheer “Louisiana.” Symphony By United Frees ROME, Nov. 28.—Southern Negro melodies, played against a background of Mississippi steamboat activities and a southern railroad building, were received enthusiastically Sunday in the Augustean music hall, where the world premier of Werner Janssen's “Louisiana” was played by the Rome symphony orchestra.

Man of House, Out of Work, Turns Home-Maker; Likes It

T. S. Binford, above, is busy in the kitchen while his wife keeps the budget provided for while working in a beauty parlor. Lower left, Alice and Marion Binford, their children.

Husband Finds That Mate’s Job Is Tough One, but He Does It Well. By NEA Service ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 23.—“ Housekeeping is a man-sized job!’ That is the emphatic opinion of T. S. Binford of this city, and he knows what he is talkin about. For one whole year he has scrubbed the children, washed and ironed their clothes, made beds, swept and cleaned, marketed and cooked all the meals for their family of four. “If husbands were required to do the cooking, housekeeping and home making at regular intervals, they would not be so scornful of a ‘woman's work,’ ” Mr. Binford said. “Moreover, if wives colld substitute for their husbands in offices or factories and had to ‘bring home the bacon,’ I believe there would be more understanding all around and matrimony would be on a firmer basis.” In 1931 Binford lost his job. Weeks of discouraging job hunting followed. There simply was no employment to be had! In this emergency, Mrs. Binford got a position in a beauty parlor downtown. When she stepped out of the home, her husband stepped in. Keeps House Neat After that he prepared three meals a day, keeping on a budget. His house has won a neighborhood reputation for being “neat as a pin.” Alice Merrimeth, 11, and Marion, better known as “Brother,” 9, still have that cared-for look their mother always gave them. And even Mrs. Binford finds her clothes pressed, her lingerie washed, tinted, and put away in her dresser drawers! “I always have believed that the home-maker should do such a thorough job of it that the wageearner has actual leisure when he or she returns home from business,” Binford said. “I even do the cooking Sundays so my wife will be fresh for work on Monday!” Tells of Difficulties He stopped long enough to tell brother to come down off the backyard fence before he tore his clothes. Then he confessed some of the difficulties that face a man when he swaps jobs with his wife. • “First of all,” he began, “a man has to get rid of the notion that it is beneath his dignity to cook a square meal instead of sitting back and eating one. “I found, when I started, that instead of its being beneath my dignity. it was beyond my ability. You should have seen the wrestle I had with my first batch of biscuits. “My first day at home I decided to have Irish potatoes and green peas," he said. “The phone rang five times before I could get those peas shelled. Peas Are Burned “When I finally got them on to cook, the doorbell rang and a man started telling me why I needed a vacuum cleaner. I was explaining to him that I had a broom and that it served me well enough when I smelled something burning. It was those peas. They were so

scorched that we couldn’t eat them!” He paused for a, moment and shook his head as he recalled the tribulations of a beginner at this thing called “jusft housework.” “It was too late to stait something else, so the kids had to eat sandwiches and drink milk that first noon. “But those scorched peas taught me one thing, that I couldn’t hope to learn in a jiffy all my wife had learned through years of experience. So I began to learn one new thing each day. “Nobody was more surprised than myself when I got downright interested in the job. Now, if I do

say so, as I shouldn’t, I can cook an entire old-fashioned meal that will stick to your ribs—meat, string beans, corn, potato salad, and dessert. But I must admit I hate making desserts.” However, with all its tribulations, this year in the home has taught Binford a lot, he believes. “Some such interchange of positions would enable many a man and wife to realize the other’s difficulties,” concluded this man who has seen married life from both the viewpoint of the wage-earner and the housekeeper. “Such understanding as comes from it might be a good cure for divorce.”

BOY KILLER TO ASK FORMERCY ‘Model Youth’ to Be Convicted of Manslaughter. By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—The slaying of his step-grandmother by Charles Bertrand Arnold, 16, was expected to be classified as “involuntary” manslaughter. The slight, studious - appearing youth whose record as a high school scholar was excellent, was prepared to enter a plea of guilty to the slaying charges before Chief Justice John Prystalski of criminal court today. Defense attorneys said the boy would ask the court's mercy. Harry S. Ditchburne, assistant state’s attorney, declared his office 'would make no recommendation of punishment to the court. State and defense alienists were agreed the boy slew Mrs. Ellen Saxe, his step-grandmother, without premeditation, in a sudden fit of anger.

ECONOMY HAS SPOTLIGHT ON CAPITALSTAGE Three Inquiries Are On This Week; Seek to, Speed Democrat Pledge. BY RUTH FINNEY Timet Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—Programs for putting into effect at once the Democratic campaign pledge of a billion dollar reduction in government expenditures already are pouring into congress. Business and large federal inoome tax payers extremely * are anxious that the pledge be fulfilled before Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt becomes President, and before the i)ew Democratic congress takes office, in order that increased taxes may be avoided in the fiscal year 1934. The budget for this year will be sent to congress by President Herbert Hoover the first week of December, and according to present plans the necessary appropriation bills will be enacted before the Hoover administration ends March 4. Hoover's proposed savings, so far announced, fall short of the amount promised by Governor Roosevelt. Magazine Makes Proposal One of the most complete programs so far presented is offered by the Magazine of Wall Street. It proposes cutting veterans’ costs $500,000,000, accomplishing half the desired saving in that one item. It would cut public works construction to the bone in saving $205,000,000, and would take, another 10 per cent from the salaries of all federal employes to save another $120,008,000. In the post office departmet the program proposes elimination of ship and air mail subsidies, on which $40,000,000 is being spent in the current fiscal year, and also a 50 per cent reduction in rural free delivery expenditures. It estimates that $75,000,000 might be saved Dy consolidation and reorganization of government bureaus, but this figure is questioned in Washington since entire abolition of all independent commissions and bureaus, exclusive of the veterans’ bureau would save only about $55,000,000. Three Inquiries Are Held Other economy plans under consideration here call for making substantial savings in army and navy expenditures either by straight cuts in the budgets of both departments, or by consolidating the two into a department of national defense, and for reduction or elimination of the $45,000,000 spent annually to enforce prohibition. The scope of the savings will be determined in part as the result of three inquiries this week: 1. The house appropriations committee resumed hearings on the appropriations bill. 2. The senate economy committee will meet Thursday. 3. The joint committee to investigate veterans’ relief costs will begin its work before the week ends. U. S. HEARS TROTSKI * Exiled Bolshevik Says America Is in Sympathy With Russia. By United Press * COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Nov. 28.—Expressing confidence that the American people are in sympathy with the effort of Soviet Russia to reorganize social life on a higher level, Leon Trotsky, exiled Bolshevik leader, said Sunday in a statement to America that the Russian revolution was made possible by the breaking of the chain of capitalism at its weakest link.

MEMORY OF SPINOZA HONORED AT MEETING Indiana Philosophical Association Pays Tribute to Great Thinker. “Driving Spinoza from the temple with a curse was but the universal treatment accorded prophets everywhere by their people,” Rabbi Milton Steinberg told those attending the tercentenary celebration in honor Af the great Jewish philosopher at the Unitarian church Sunoay afternoon. Rabbi Steinberg pointed out that mankind today still continues to stone those who “dare to differ.' Arrangements for the celebration were under auspices of the Indiana Philosophical Associaiton. That such unworldly philosophy as that of Spinoza should be welcomed now W3s the opinion expressed by Professor E. L. Schaub of Northwestern university, who addressed the gathering. “Our worldly goals do not beckon so brightly as in former years,” Professor Schaub asserted. “Once more mankind is in search of salvation.” High tribute was paid by Professor Schaub to the character of Spinoza and his doctrine of the blessed life. Born at Amsterdam Nov. 24. 1632, Baruch de Spinoza, who years later changed his name to Benedict (meaning blessed', earned his Jiving humbly grinding lens, while he made his great contributions to the philosophic thinking of the ages.
