Prohibition Head
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27'
(AP) Wine and beer making In
iwt uuuio cuiisuinpiion
was declared immune from fed
eral interference today by prohi
bition - director Amos W. W.
Woodcock.
The national enforcement agen
cies, he said, can intervene only
when evidence of a sale has been
ontained, as without such evi
dence no search warrant for a
private home can be issued.
Under the law. he explained,
the home brewer is liable to pun
ishment If bis product is "intoxi
cating In fact." a point for set
tlement by a Jury, but in any
Tent, he is beyond the reach -of
the .federal authorities unless a
commercial, feature is -involved.
Woodcock returned today from
an. Inspection tonr of Penns'ylva-:
nla.i. New Jersey and Delaware
and .planned to - leave .tonight for
a similar survey in Tennessee.
Flnda Conditions
Generally Good
.These inspection trip3, which
are planned to include every state
in the union, are confined to, a
survey . of . conditions within the
enforcement organisation and the
promotion of cooperation with
local authorities, and are not In
tended to include any investiga
tion of actual liquor conditions.
Woodcock reported the situa
tion excellent In Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, but poor in Del
aware as that state until a few
days ago had been without a dep
uty administrator for about a
month. He expected an early Im
provement there.
The state and local authorities
of Pennsylvania, particularly the
state constabulary and the Phil
adelphia police were highly prais
ed by the director. In Philadel
phia, he said, the city police have
closed about 2,000 open saloons,
with but 14 remaining in opera
tion as evidence of violations
could not be obtained against
them. They are being closely
watched.
fllira DEALT
BOSTON, Sept. 27 (AP).
Adoption of a platform favoring
repeal of the 18th amendment,
the Volstead Act and the state
prohibition act and generous and
abundant expressions of party
unity for the coming campaign
here were outstanding deevlop
ments of the Massachusetts dem
ocratic party convention here to
day. The only discussion of the
platform on the convention floor
dealt with the prohibition plank.
Brief remarks of protest against
that plank were offered by Whit
field Tuck of Winchester. The
platform was accepted in its en
tirety, only the voices of Tuck
and' a few others being hard in
opposition.
Declaring the balance between
state and nation had been im
paired by the 18th amendment
and the Volstead act, the plank
asserted:
We, therefore, to preserve
our dual sovereignties, and to
end the appalling orgy of crime
and corruption, favor the repeal
of the 18th amendment and the
Volstead act, and the restoration
to each state of the authority to
deal with the liquor problem in
accordance with the mandate of
its citiiens."
Pending the repeal of the pro
hibition law a redefining by con
gress of the word "intoxicating"
used in the 18th amendment, so
as to permit each state constitu
tionally to exercise jurisdiction
within its borders and the simul
taneous enactment of a law pro
hibiting return of the saloon was
asked.

The defense has held De Rosa's
crime a political deed of an 'emo
tional and patriotic youth, aimed
at Fascism as symbolized by a
son of Italy's king. Witnesses had
charged King Victor Emmanuel
with having violated his consti
tutional oath in adhering to Fas
cism, contrasting him with; "the
champion of honor" King Albert.
The prosecution encountered this
by pointing to the intermarriage

Payment in Four Quarterly
Installments Favored
By Realty Board .
The state tax commission Sat
urday entered upon the task of
drafting the Portland realty
board bill, which would permit
taxpayers to pay taxes in four
Quarterly installments. Instead of
in two installments as is now re
Quired by law. Under the pro
posed amendment, the date of
tax receipt will be changed sa
that taxes will be paid in the
same year they are assessed, in
stead of a year later, as at pres
ent. This reform has been advo
cated by the Portland realty
board under the leadership of
Henry G. .Reed of Portland, ex
Mnltnomah county assessor. The
purpose of the proposed measure
Is to lighten the tax harden on
real estate. Other features of
the bill now being considered are
a possible rebate of two per cent
for payment of the entire ' tax
instead of first " Quarter ' and
speeding up the collection of tax
es generally.
Companion Bill
Also Considered
Tin order to make the time of
payment of taxes coincide with
the fiscal need of counties,
cities, school districts and the
etate government and allow pay
ment on a cash rather than a
warrant basis, as at present, the
commission is considering a bill
changing tne fiscal yar to con-
companion bill.
As son as these bills are
drafted, they wll be taken up
and a series of conferences held
with the Portland, Realty board,
the state association, assessors,
county judges and all others af
fected. It is proposed to have
the final drafts of the bills com
pleted before the legislature con
venes In January.-

WORD
NEW YORK, Sept. 27. (AP)
Basil W. Delgass, resigned
vice president - of the Amtorg'
Trading corporation, told the
Hamilton Pish congressional
committee today code communi
cations concerning the army and '
navy defenses of the United
States had passed between Am
torg and the Soviet government.
This statement was not probed
further by the committee, which
is conducting a nation-wide In
vestigation into communist ac
tivities. It was given in esponse
to interrogation as to whether
messages between the Russian
agency and Moscow contained
anything of a political nature.
Delgass in further testimony
accused Peter A. Bogdanov,
chairman of the board of Am
torg. and other officials of per
juring themselves in previous
appearances before the commit
tee. He said prior to the hear
ings all Amtorg employes were
instructed to say that there were
no communists connected with
the agency, he testified, and that
Amtorg was not involved in com
munist activities.
Delgass charged that the of
fice of business manager of Am
torg was a political Job and that
all' its incumbents have been
closely allied with the Ogpu, the
Soviet secret police.

EYE STRAIN
j Because glasses were first
used to improve defective
: vision, many people have
: fallen into the error of
thinking that eyeglasses or
i spectacles should be em
ployed only in cases of im
paired eyesight.
True, there was a time
when nine out of ten people
who wore glasses did so
merely to "see better," but
such is not the case today.
It is now clearly evident that
countless individuals who
possess better than average
visial acuity, are suffering
from eye-strain without
knowing it. It also has been
proven time and again that
correct glasses relieve eye
strain which so often is the
underlying cause of head
ache, irritability, and nerv
ous fatigue.
How obvious is the reason
for this! The normal eye was
designed by nature to view
objects, practically without
effort, at a distance of 40
feet or more. But today most
work requires steady con
centration of the eyes on ob
jects less than arm's length '
away. What is the result?
EYE-STRAIN frequently
continued to the point where
it becomes a serious menace
to health.
The growing pain in the
back of the head, the weari
ness that overtakes you be
fore a day's work is half
completed, are simply the
protests of eye muscles
which have become exhaust
ed by a persistent effort to
adjust themselves to exact
ing close-up tasks.
That is why an increasing
number of people weai- glass
es today not actually to see
better, for they saw well
enough before, but to relieve
eye-strain and its attendant
ills. The more work the eyes
do and the closer the work,
the greater the need for
lenses which will lighten the
load and enable the eyes to
function with least effort.
The pity of it all it that
there are thousands who do
not know that they need
glasses. Having no standard
to judge by except their own
eyes, they think they see
well enough and let it go at
that without ever stopping
to realize that headaches and,
a general let-down in physic
cal health are often directly
traceable to eye-strain "which
is stealing nervous energy
from every other organ of
the body.
