PUSH LAW FOR DIRECT VOTING ON PRESIDENCY Electoral College Abolition May Get Administration Support, Hint. ACTION TO BE RUSHED Congressman Points to ’2B Ballot Outcome As Change Need. R<j Srrippt-Haward Yn cspnpcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Preparatory to making it an issue of ihp early part of the opening of congress, Representative Clarence lea <Dem, Cal * personally has urged upon President Roosevelt the Norris-Lea eonstitutional amendment abolishing the electoral college and providing for the direct election of the President and Vice-President. Representative Lea, following his visit to the White House, thinks the administration is friendly. Like Senator Norris he believes this amendment is even more important a part of the new deal than the lame duck reform By rushing it through at next, session it will be readv for ratification in the 1935 legislative season. The measure is on the house calendar and has been o. kd by a senate judiciary subcommittee. This amendment will provide a certain and just method of electing the President and Vice-President,” Representative Lea said today. It will abolish the outworn electoral college and substitute therefor a direct vote of the people. Each state will retain its electoral votes as at present and in this way retain its relative strength based on its population. But each candidate would receive such proportion of the electoral votes of the state as he received of the popular vote. The candidate with the greatest number of electoral votes is elected. In this way every man's vote is counted. At present the minority in each slate is disfranchised. For instance in 1928 the vote in New York was close as between Smith and Hoover. Had the electoral votes been distributed according to the popular vote Smith would have been given twenty-two votes. Hoover twenty-three, as it was Hoover got all forty-five. At the lasi election 39 per cent of the people thus were disfranchised. Ii is possible now for a candidate to receive a popular majority yet he defeated in the electoral college by the electoral votes. This happened twice. The proposed system also will prevent a deadlock and a house contest. It will help develop national parties, encourage voting and make elections nation-wide in interest rather than confined to doubtful states. The temptation to fraud and pressure in doubtful states will be lessened It is a democratic stp and a badly needed reform.” BORINSTEIN TO TALK AT CHURCH GATHERING Fellowship Forum Dinner Is Set for Tuesday Night. ‘The Responsibility of Membership' is the subject of a talk to be given bv Louis J.

BATHTUB WHISKY REPEAL PROBLEM

America Prepares for Homemade Liquor in Great Quantities

BY EARL SPARLING Time* Sserial Writer lOHN DOE mixer and drinker of fine old homemade bathtub whisky, is a much more important fellow in the whisky industry than he ever has realized John numbers info the millions in America. It is estimated that during The final years of prohibition some 88.000.000 gallons of bathtub stuff 'whisky, gin. rum. cognac, etc.) were made and consumed annually in American homes. And what if John, prohibition or no prohibition, keeps right on doing it? That is a chilling prospect for the so-called rectifiers and blenders who used to have full control of this alcohol plus water flavor, mg and coloring business. Any one who doubts that John is in the whisky business to stay can listen to an expert. Ralph Pichel. head of the Pichel Products Company. New York Mr Pichel's family were rectifiers back to 1888. For a long spell they bought their flavoring extracts from one of the half dozen houses which supplied the trade Then later they bought out one of the old extract houses. Prohibition-came and the Testifying industry folded up. the Pichel branch of it. included. But the family still had the extract business.

Ralph Pichel decided to sell his extracts to the public and show John Doe how to make his own. His Peeko flavors irye, bourbon, Scotch, gin. cognac, rum. etc.l got to be almost as well known in American kitchens as old-fash-ioned vanilla. It is Mr. Pichel who estimates that at, least 88.000.000 gallons of home-made bathtub stuff was consumed last year. He bases his estimate on his own business. From June. 1932. to June. 1933, his company sold to make the home trade enough flavors to make the following gallons of finished stuff: Gin 3,250,000 Fve - 2.400,000 Bourbon 1.600,000 Scotch 750,000 Rum 500,000 Cognac 360,000 Liqueurs, etc 2.200.000 a a • AVERY frank man. Mr. Pichel has this to say: “My family was in the rectifying business for years. I am going back into it now that the good old days are returning, but I don't think it is going to be the business it used to be. Prohibition has taught the people too much. "If there is going to be any rectifying done. I’m going to help do it. But, T believe the public will go right, on doing their own mixing. Therefore, I am putting more emphasis than ever on the Peeko branch of my business. “I am getting hundreds of inquiries from firms concerning Peeko flavors in bulk. That means that hundreds of others expect to go back into rectifying. In the old days we sold extracts only to rectifiers. “Prohibition made us sell them to the public, and we expect to go right on selling them to the public in increasing quantities. It is my guess that we will sell more of our flavors to the public after prohibition than we ever will sell to the rectifiers.” Which brings us to one of the most secret phases of the whisky industry as it flourished before prohibition. Few drinkers in the old days even knew that such things as rye. bourbon and Scotch flavors existed. Plenty of the extracts were sold but never to the public, only to the rectifiers. And Mr. Pichel is as good a person as any to reveal why the rectifiers needed such flavors. "In the old days,” he says, “the average cut —a good cut —was seven to one. That means one part of straight whisky, the real thing, to seven parts of, plain grain alcohol and water. That was the average whisky sold over American bars at 10 cents a glass. It is the whisky most Americans drank. MUM THERE was no trick in making it. The rectifier merely dumped about eight gallons of real old whisky into a forty-five-gallon barrel and filled the rest of the barrel with alcohol and water. If a good whisky were used—say a whisky eight or ten years old—nothing more was needed. “Even at seven to one. the mixture still had a whisky flavor. But a little extract would make the flavor stronger. And if the rectifier used a poor grade whisky, or a green whisky at all. the addition of flavoring was necessary. The law provided, of course, that, harmless favoring and coloring matter could be added to any whisky mixture." Mr. Pichel obligingly produced some of the old bottle labels that went on such stuff. This inscription is typical: A STRAIGHT OLD WHISKY And other grain distillates Guaranteed Under the Pure Food Law. In trade terminology "Straight Whisky” meant then and still means an unadulterated whisky. All bottled in bond stuff is straight whisky, aged at least four years in wood casks. The rectifier had used a little of the real stuff—how little, who will ever know? —and he stated the fact in bold, black letters. The phrase "And other grain distillates” was in much smaller letters. The drinker would see the “Straight Old Whisky” and possibly never read the smaller type, and even if he read the qualifying

Men Vie With Women for Knowledge at Times Cooking School

THE "best cook in middle Tennessee” will prepare menus suggested bv Miss Ruth Chambers, director of The Indianapolis Times Free Cooking school. Recipes will be taken to her by her brother, a well-dressed middleaged “gentlemen of the old south." who visited the school at its opening session at the Murat yesterday. Sessions are to be held at 2 this afternoon and 2 and 8 Thursday. “I’ve always been interested in cooking,” he said, in explaining his appearance at the school. My sister is considered the best cook in our section of the state. We live in Murfreesboro, Tenn. I am in Indianapolis on business, and when I learned of this school I was anxious to see what it had to offer.

phrase he probably would not understrand it meant plain alcohol. It should be noted that such labels were used only after passage of the pure food law. Before passage of that law the labels stated without any qualification "Fine Old Whisky, Aged in the Wood.” A return to some such system is contemplated by thousands of enthusiastic rectifiers today. If they can't go as far as they went in the old days, they can still mix plain alcohol with green whisky, color and flavor the mess with extracts and label it “A Blend of Whiskies.”

Tottering Elephant Pennsylvania G. 0. P. Weakens Under Assaults of Strong Democratic Machine.

By Bciipps-Hoicaid Newspaper Alliance tTARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 22.—Pennsylvania's rock-ribbed Republican political machine, weakened by terrific Democratic assaults in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, is making its last stand here to save itself from complete overthrow in the state where G. O. P. dominance reached its zenith. The battle that is raging centers in the state legislature, called into extraordinary session by Governor Gifford Pinchot, independent Republican. He seeks a “new deal” for the citizens who have twice elected him their chief executive in face of all the strategy his party's machine could summon for opposition. When he won the nomination two years ago the state G. O. P. told its followers to go Democratic in their choice for Governor.

And now Governor Pinchot’s turn has come in his twenty-year battle to unseat the political overlords in the party of which he is a member. He has presented to the special session of the legislature a program of social and economic legislation as sweeping and drastic as the one which President Roosevelt put through congress. Coming on the heels of the election of a Democratic mayor in Pittsburgh, The first time in twenty-five years, the overthrow of the Vare machine in Philadelphia, this means that the most spectacular political battle in Pennsylvania's history has begun. On the outcome hinges the naming of the state's next Governor and a United States senator. The law provides that Governors of Pennsylvania can not succeed themselves and Mr. Pinchot. who claims he is the political protege of the late

rectifying the morning after Dec. 5. Ralph Pichel cheerfully sends samples and prices. It is no new business with him. He was supplying rectifiers before prohibition, and he supplied their successors, the bootleggers, after prohibition. He does not admit publicly that any of his extracts found their way into bootleggers’ hands, but who else was there during prohibition to buy highly concentrated flavors in bulk, one ounce of which would flavor ten to fifteen gallons of alcohol and water? In addition to the flavors sold to individual bathtub mixers he sold enough concentrated extracts in bulk last year to make the following gallons of finished stuff: Ryp 1,800,000 Bourbon 1.200,000 Gin 2.500,000 Scotch 500,000 Rum 400,000 Cognac 300,000 Liquers, etc 2,000,000 “That totals 8.700,000 galolns of finished product,” he grinned. “Multiply that by six and you'll have about the total of the stuff made up in bulk in the country. I have no way of knowing that bootlegging made it up. “All I know is that some customers drove up in handsome limousines and bought the bottles by the dozen. A dozen bottles of concentrated rye flavor would make up a whole lot of whisky, believe me.” Mr. Pichel sells other things necessary to the making of “whisky” if the rectifier or the homemaker wants to turn out a workmanlike job. Bead oil, for example. An ounce and a half of his bead oil will fix up a barrel of ‘whisky” and make it shake like seventeen-year-old bottled in bond. a a a AND coloring.

burnt sugar. But a chemist could always analyze the mixture and prove the'presence of the coloring. Mr. Pichel has a vegetable coloring extract which defies detection. What the flavoring industry was and it can be best understood by considering cognac green, which is the chief ingredient used in making a cognac flavoring extract. Nor is cognac out of place in a story of whisky. Now. cognac green is an oil pressed from the skins of certain kinds of white grape. In the natural manufacture of cognac, which is distilled from a special wine, this oil passes over naturally and gives cognace its flavor. Thus the flavor that goes into imitation cognac comes from the same source as the flavor of true cognac. To detect imitation cognac the ordinary drinker must be able to tell the difference between two slavers, both of which come from the same natural source. As far back as any one can remember there have been factories making cognac green in Europe. Therefore for a long time some one must have been making imitation or adulterated cognac. Fortunately, the French have striven ever since 1903 to guarantee the purity of cognac, a policy very different from that pursued with whisky in England. The Celtic house of James Hennessy & Cos. can be quoted; “For this reason the law has prescribed that only merchants selling genuine cognac can legally place on their bottles a label bearing their name, preceded or followed by the word ‘cognac’ and by that word alone. The phrase Negociants a Cognac,’ or ‘Distillateurs a Cognac,’ or ‘Maison fondee a Cognac,’ or ‘Marque deposee a Cognac,’ is not a guarantee of genuine brandy. It must be just the name and the word ‘cognac’ and that alone.”

WIDOWS PLANE SUICIDE FEARED Woman. Despondent Over Husband's Death, and Ship Disappear. By United Pi ck k JACKSONVILLE. Fla.. Nov. 22 - A rented airplane and its pilot, who was despondent over the death of her husband, were believed today to be submerged in the Atlantic off the coast of Florida. Mrs. Louise Turck Stantion. 32-year-old socially prominent widow, rented an airplane at the local airport yesterday, and flew out to sea. Notes found in her automobile told of her despondency and her desire to "fly out into space and find out what it’s all about.” She said it was a gesture.” Airport officials, saying the plane carried fuel sufficient for only a four-hour flight, thought it had crashed and Mrs. Stanton drowned yesterday afternoon. Fliers estimated that the plane could have flown 300 miles to sea before being forced down. The pilot was married several months ago to Gordon Stanton, who was killed in an automobile crash several weeks ago. In a note to airport officials she explained that she did not want her death to look like an accident and be another “black eye to aviation.” A note to Maior H. A. Maloney, airport manager, requested that news of her act be handled in a dignified manner and that her age was not to be made public. A third note to Laurie Young, from whom she rented the plane, apologized for her use of it. She said she had made arrangements to have the machine replaced.

Co-operating merchants are donating valuable gifts to attendants of the school. Included in these are a Kelvinator, a Chambers gas range, and containers for refrigerators, as well as nationally advertised foods and kitchen supplies.

[ Out -of - town dealers who are indignant, over the arrest of Mr. Zerr may demand that their city and town councils direct similar taxes on nonresident dealers. which seriously would affect Indianapolis business, Mr. Haerle : charges. ! The centralization of produce sales among several local dealers | would result in a boating of prices, J according to the brief. Mr. Haerle cites the fourteenth ! amendment to the constitution as I "It is the law and it was the in{tention of the farmers of both the j Constitution of the United States I and the state of Indiana to afford ! citizens of the several states equal I rights.” . The brief also charges that the* | ordinance is “the confiscation of the j personal right of a citizen of In- ! diana.” The resident dealer pays ! only a $25 fee under this statute, i while the non resident dealer must pay S2OO and establish a SSOO bond. Non resident dealers who sell direct to city dealers, however, are exempted from the tax. If the motion is defeated in municipal court. Mr. Haerle plans to ! appeal. Approximately twenty nonresident dealers are said to have supported the defense of Mr. Zerr when he was arrested last week and wish to push the issue in order to gain what has been termed “equal rights.” Mr. Haerle contends that the city council was “sold” on the statue by : a representative of a produce association, which he charges is attempting to effect a monopoly on city produce sales.
