U. S. Lacks Jurisdiction in Milk Case, Is Claim

Greenwood Dairy Counsel Files Brief in AAA Action. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Timrs Staff Writer. WASHINGTON. July 28— If the federal government can control milk production in the Greenwood Dairy Farms case, it can control the Indianapolis Water Company because its water is used in beer which enters interstate commerce. Such was the contention in a brief filed today with James K. Knudson. acting chief hearing clerk of the dairy section of the agriculture adjustment administration. It was filed on behalf of the Greenwood Dairy Farms, Inc., by Attorneys Smith, Remster, Hornbrook and Smith of Indianapolis. They defended the company at the license revocation hearing held last week in Indianapolis. Local Angle Stressed They deny that any of the Greenwood products have anything but local sale ana therefore are not within the jurisdiction of the AAA. since the federal government can not rule in matters of intrastate commerce. Processors of milk products, but not the producers in the Indianapolis area, may make interstate commerce shipments, the brief sets out. Answering the theory that producers are thus “indirectly" engaged in interstate commerce and thus must submit to federal control, the brief states: “It has its effect in an indirect way. yes. but no more than the forces controlling the production of water by the Indianapolis Water Company have upon the shipment of beer that is brewed in this city and shipped out of the state for consumption. Ruling Expected Soon “Os course, it must be admitted that there is no interstate movement of milk in this area; the government did not purport to prove such a movement and the fact that no such movement exists is obvious.” The very intimation that interstate commerce is involved was termed “an after-thought” in an attempt to make the AAA rulings constitutional. “Our government has no moral right to attempt regulation when honest reflection makes it apparent that it is without legal justification." i the brief concludes. Art Coarse Concludes The John Herron Art Institute yesterday concluded a summer session, attended by thirty students.

SYSTEM HELD TO BLAME FDR WORLD STRIFE International Anarchy Sent War Clouds Scudding 20 Years Ago. (Continued From Page One)

up a world empire second only to Britain’s because she had the power. Russia expanded from the Baltic to the Pacific for the same reason. AH Fight Each Other Before them there had been Greece, Rome, Spain, Portugal and the rest. The strong took from the weak. Whenever and wherever they could, they even hijacked each other. The only difference between Germany and Japan and the others was that they came on the scene a little late. There has hardly been a decade in recorded history that did not see a war or two in the old world. Practically every country in Europe and Asia has fought every other country in that area. England has fought France, Russia, Spain, Holland, China, Tibet and the rest, including us. The only difference between ,the World war and past wars is that it was bigger and the lineup was different. It was caused by the same old anarchy in international relations. Nations lived like wolves, sometimes hunting singly, sometimes in packs, snarling and fighting over their “finds” by twos and in all sorts of combinations. A New Balance of Power Britain and Germany at one time actually planned to divide between themselves the colonies of Portugal, Britain's ally. Not so very long before the World war Britain and France came within an ace of war over Egypt, the Sudan and Siam. Russia and Britain were constantly at daggers drawn for years and Britain and Germany almost clashed over the Berlin-to-Bagdad railway. And so on, without end. Out of the maelstrom there grew up anew balance of power in Europe. Britain, France and Russia faced Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy. • Britain at one time came near joining Germany. But when the German navy began to rival the British, and her merchant marine began to carry the flag—and German goods—to every port on the globe, a showdown became inevitable. Since Trafalgar, Britannia had ruled the seas—and world trade —and any chiseler was asking for trouble. Outlook Not Bright No single nation and no one statesman can fairly be blamed for the war. It was the system. The system, it was believed for a time, passed with the war. President Wilson made it a war to end wars. A League of Nations, a World court, a Kellogg pact, the Locarno pacts, the Nine-Power treaty, the Washington and London naval • limitation agreements, the Geneva disarmament conference, designed to substitute international law and justice for the old system of anarchy and bloodshed. Today, however, the outlook is far from bright. The world is teetering, apparently about to fall back right where it was in 1914. The peace structure is again only a house of cards. All that is needed, it would seem, is just another puff from any one of a dozen possible Sarajevos.

BANDIT IS SHOT IN HOW HERE Robber Flees After Being Wounded by Tavern Keeper. An unidentified bandit was shot in the left shoulder early today when he attempted to hold up John Dressel, 66, of 6202 North Keystone avenue, proprietor of a beer tavern at that address. He escaped in a waiting car in front of the tavern with a woman companion, Mr. Dressel told police. According to Mr. Dressel, a car containing the bandit and woman parked near his tavern until closing time early today and then drove up before the door as Joe Evans, 22, Castleton, waiter, was leaving. The bandit said that he wanted to buy some beer and was told the place was closed. He continued to sit in the car and was there when Mr. Dressel returned from driving some of his employes home. When Mr. Dressel emerged from his garage, the bandit stuck a pistol into his ribs and said, "This is a stickup.” They walked to the garage together, Mr. Dressel keeping one hand above his head and grasped a pistol in his pocket with the other. Inside the garage, he turned on the bandit and fired at him. The bandit fled to the car in which the woman was waiting while Mr. Dressel paused to investigate a noise behind him.

City Tax Levy Reduction Considered by Officials

Refunding of Bonds Due to Mature Next Year Is Proposed. City officials today considered a proposal to reduce the city tax levy by refunding city bonds maturing next year instead of levying a tax this year to retire them. Following a conference yesterday between city officials and purchasers of city securities, it was pointed out that a reduction of from 10 to 15 cents in the municipal tax levy could be effected through the refunding measure. A careful study of the proposal will be made before the city presents its budget to the city council Aug. 20, Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan said. If the city refunds the 1935 maturities, new bonds can be issued at a very low rate of interest, it was said. The city now is paying from 3’2 to per cent on its outstanding bonds. New York and Chicago bond houses are willing to purchase refunding bonds from cities of first class credit, such as Indianapolis, on a 3 per cent interest basis, officials pointed out.

Extraordinary precautions will be taken by state and city health authorities against an epidemic of typhoid which has broken out among the employes of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus.

Refreshment Sales Banned "Every person connected with the show will be under constant observation and will be isolated at once if symptoms of the disease appear,” continued Dr. Rice.
