ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 16 (AP)
Government ownership of public
utilities was opposed today by Gover
nor Ritchie of Maryland.
The Maryland chief executive, who
has been mentioned frequently aa a
possible democratic presidential
nominee In 1032, said government
operation "would make ua political
slaves of the federal government."
Addressing the section of publlo
utility law i of the American Bar os
soclatlon, Ritchie favored state regu
lation of utilities.
"I am for the Irreducible minimum :
of legislative Interference In every
field of human effort Including the
public utilities," he aaid. "In this
era of triumphant industrialism, all
of us recognize that the possibilities
and actualities of special privileges,
of Injustice and of exploitation are
so great that some adequate system
of checks and balances must be sup
plied. But why look only to govern
ment to supply.lt?
Excess of Power
"Government Interference In hu
man affairs means an excess of pow
er. It means bureaucratic centrali
zation, and sterilization and undue
Impairment of Individual rights and
liberties. In business It becomes
more of an Incubus than a help. It
can hector and harass so much -easier
than It can guide and guard. It can
so readily do more harm than good,
even where only good Is Intended.
Should we not then try to make
public opinion operate upon Industry
direct? Indeed may we not expect
Industry itself, for lta own security
and In the hope of Its own salvation,
If for no other reasons, to work out
self governing ways of eliminating
any Ills and Injustices which not
only the publlo but enlightened bus
iness Itself should not tolerate?
Putting Own House In Order
"Personally I have faith In -this
expectation. The logic of events fa
vors lta realization. Industry must
be blind Indeed if It does not realize
that It must put Its own house In
order, and there are many evidences
that It Is trying to do so."
Saying he knew of "no question
which Is being more confused by
politics," Ritchie added that "we
ought not to regard this utility and
power question aa a legitimate politi
cal Issue in any partisan sense."
"The subject la one for the best
brains of the land, regardless of
party," he said. "No good can come
from trying to frame political Issues
about it or from treating it from any
other than an economic standpoint."

FOES OF LIQUOR
TO FRUIT
T
Next Congress Will See At
tempts to Tighten Prohi
bition Law Prediction
Want Doubts Removed
WASHINOTOM, Sept. 15-(AP)
Prohibition's perennial shadow crept
toward the next congress today as
Senator Sheppard, democrat, Texas,
said he would press legislation aimed
at the sale of fruit Juice concen
trates, which turn readily Into wine.
In addition, the co-author of the
Eighteenth Amendment, said he
would urge a law making the liquor
buyer equally guilty with the seller.
He Introduced bills to carry out
both alms at the last session. His
measure directed at concentratea
came too near the session's close for
action and the other was shunted
aside. Senator Sheppard said be be
lieves the Volstead Act now prohibit
ed the sale of concentrates for wine
making but added he "wanted all
doubt removed."
She's With Wets Now
Maoel Walker WUlebrandt, former
assistant attorney general In charge
of prohibition ' enforcement, Is the
legal representative of a grape con
centrate concern. She told the Wlck
ersham commission that her com
pany had authority under the law to
make and distribute Its product.
The commission in Its report on
prohibition law enforcement recom
mended a provision to fix the alco
holic content for cider and fruit
juices, in addition It commented
somewhat aharply on "the Invitation
to hypocrisy and evasion in the pro
vision aa to fruit Juices."
Prohibition Director Woodcock haa
said that if fruit Juice concerns are
making a product which will turn
Into a beverage with a fairly nign
alcoholic content they are clearly
violating the law..
Experts Differ
He explained, however, that the
section In Vie Volstead Act applying
to them making the question of their
-..I.. nr .iinerts. "and experur
.
differ."
The section reads:
The penalties provioed In this act
against the manufacture of liquor
without a permit shall not apply to a
person for manufacturing non-lntox-lcatlng
cider and fruit Juices exclu
sively for use tn bis own home. Both
such cider and fruit Juices shall not
be sold or delivered except to per
