Gang Plot to
Control Politics
Chicago, Oct. 7 U. An organ
ized gang plot to grab control of
local politics across the country
is being financed with money
from illegal slot machines, the
director of the American Muni
cipal association said today.
Carl H. Chatters, executive sec
retary of the association, said he
asked U. S. Attorney General
J. Howard McGrath for federal
help to fight racketeers on a na
tional scale.
Chatters issued a statement
charging that gangsters make
millions of dollars a year with
illegal slot machines.
'With this money racketeers
buy large holdings in legitimate
business," he said. Their hold
ings give them "tremendous lev
erage" in local politics, he said.
Chatters' request for federal
help was made on behalf of New
Orleans, Los Angeles and Port
land, Ore., chiefly, he said.
McGrath has not answered the
request, but he intends to see
federal officials in Washington
about it next week, Chatters
said.
'The potential income (from
illegal slot machines) is fabu
lous," he said. In Weiser, Ida.,
a town of 5000 population, 60
municipally owned slot machines
earn $160,000 a year.
Clerk Breaks Secret
Of 23 Years on Title
London, Oct. 7 M" For 23
years Robert Vernon, 57-year-old

about his title.
Today, though, he disclosed

had been, in fact, since he inher
ited the title from his actor fa
ther in 1923.
Vernon is getting married Oc
tober 18 at fashionable St.
Georges church. He thought it
better to wed under his true ti
tle. His bride-to-be is Mrs. Doris
Patterson, a widow.
"I did not publicize my title
because I found it necessary to
do a job of work," explained
Vernon, whose father's estate
was small.
"When you are seeking jobs
a title can be a hindrance. And
there were many times when I
was not in a position to live up
to it."
The first Baron Lyveden, en
nobled in 1859, was a cabinet
minister.

Uncle Sam Finds Himself
In Barrel Over Liquor Aging .
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Oct. 7 u.R Your old Uncle Sam Is up to his top
hat in barrels. Trying to decide what liquor can age In a
used barrel.
At the moment, the question is being arei'ed out at a enmnli.
cated hearing going on before the alcohol tax unit.
The nub of the issue is wheth-
er liquor which has been stored
two years in a used barrel and
two years in a new one should
count as four-year-old whisky
Under present regulations, only
the time the liquor has spent in
the new barrel is counted.
One of the witnesses at the
hearing was short, dark and
stocky Dr. A. J. Liebmann, a
research man for a distillery
(Schenley).
The balding scientist didn't
act like a man of science. He
got right down to earth.
What a man smells and tastes.
he said, goes beyond the chem
ists and physicists.
Dr. Liebmann reverted to
scientific talk for a couple hun
dred paragraphs. Then, he came
down to earth again. He said.
in plain language, that the man
who takes a drink now and then

his nose and his own tongue.
XTiemical analysis pffft."
The above are my own Quotes.
but they paraphrase what the
good doctor had to say.
The whisky people, across the
years, from George Washington
who had a still in Farfax coun
ty, Va., have contended that the
only way to make good whisky
is to put It in new charred oak
barrels and let "er set.
The complicated contention
now is that what is wrong with
putting a lot of whisky in one
barrel, then dumping it after
awhile into another barrel? No
matter how old either barrel ii?
That is getting even mora
complicated if the whisky hap
pened to be dumped into a new
barrel in the first place.
Dr. Liebmann was warming
up to his subject and at the lame
time kicking back at the government.
He said that a government
chemist made an analysis of
whiskies some aged in new
charred barrels and some stored
in used barrels.
'This strikingly demonstra
ted," the doctor said, "the deficit
resulting from storage in the
practically exhausted barrel, a
deficit which cannot be made by
Delated and abbreviated storage
in new barrels for a short time.
Which means just what It
says, I guess.
Dr. Liebmann says that tha
government is not a drinking
man.
The whisky people are trying
to straighten out the record now.
They gave me a sample.
It tasted all right but I don't
know much about barrels.
