STATEMENT FOLLOWS ACTION OF CANADA Government Reverses Position; May Deport Millionaire as Undesirable ATHENS-- The- Greek government will endeavor to find a way to deliver Samuel Insull, fugitive! Chicago multi-millionaire, to the United States, Prime Minister Panayoti Tsaldaris informed the United Press today. Tsaldaris said he had promised the United States minister that the government would ex- Lack Of Liquor Supply Likely To Make Repeal Fetes Hereabout Dull plore the legal situation again, in an endeavor to meet the wishes of the American government. "I met the United States minister, who explained at length the desire that Mr. Insull be delivered to United States justice," Tsaldaris said. "He stressed the importance of finding a means to achieve this." "I replied to Mr.

MacVeagh," Mr. Tsaldaris added, "that I realized the 30,000 Greek residents of the United States had been fairly treated, that I appreciated the United States' assistance in settlement refugees, and the friendly feeling of the United States people toward Greece. Must Not Wound Pride "1 also told him that we realized Insull's presence here was detrimental to the friendly relations between Greece and America, and that I would endeavor to find a way to deliver Insull over to American justice." M. Tsaldaris emphasized that the means of delivering the former Chicago magnate "must not violate the findings of the Appellate court nor wound the feelings of the Greek people." It was believed the means might be found in refusing to renew Insull's permission to remain in Greece without a passport after the expiration of his present permit on December thirty-first, and then by deporting him as an "undesirable alien." The Prime Minister's declaration was a complete reversal of previous Continued on Page twelve LATE VIOLENCE ADDRESS THEME TO GRAND JURY Witschief Tells Panel Peace and Security Rest on Enforcement of Law NEWBURGH The December trial term of Supreme Court began today under Justice Graham Wits- chief. He charged the Grand Jury to uphold the law lest there would be further violence such as the California lynching, although he did not mention any specific instance.

Justice Witschief also told the jury men it was their duty to bring in indictments whenever facts warranted action. "In other words" he explained "it is none of your concern whether the trial jury will convict, you -nust consider only one thing, if the evidence unexplained and uncontra- dicted would warrant a conviction it is your duty to indict." This statement recalled Judge Wnschief's refusal accept a no bill in the Giannini rase. On that occasion he ordered the evidence rcsubmitted to the October Grand Jury which returned an indictment. BLs next statement was believed to have been a thrust at the Joseph fcjuiim trial jury. "In this country," he said, "let me remind you that the peace and security of the country depends on enforcement of the law.

If we dc. not have enforcement then we -nust expect repe'ition of the events we have seen portrayed in the news. For the time being the per and security of the people of -s county rests with you." He then dismissed the Grano Jury. Apparently the first case 1 be taken up when the grand jury went into session was the accident near Dcrrydale Form on Route Seventeen November twenty-fourth in which six Middletown residents iost their lives. Coroner Edward Garrison was at the Courthouse today prepared to testify.

Nelson, driver of the Yd- Joway bus in the collision was held for the Grand Jury. Nelson was paroled in custody of his attorney J. Allan Ballman. RUM CONTROL DIFFICULTIES FACENATON Federal Agencies Strive to Meet Problems of Repeal Beginning Tomorrow WASHINGTON--Problems of controlling the return of legalized liquor swamped governmental agencies today as the official end of America's era of prohibition drew near.

Issuance of permits for liquor importations was suspended for revision of quotas as foreign wines and liquor shipments neared the nation's borders by rail and water from Canada, Mexico and Europe. The control situation was expected to be clarified upon the return of President Roosevelt to the capital during the day and assumption of office by Joseph H. Choate as chairman of the Federal Alcohol Control Administration. In advance of his normal induction into office, Choate halted the issuance of import permits and inidcated they woulud be held up untitl a few hours before repeal becomes an accomplished fact. The end of prohibition will conie some lime between 2 p.

m. and 3 p. m. EST tomorrow when Utah formally ratifies the 21st amendment to the constitution, repealing the 18th amendment. President Roosevelt and Acting Secretary of State Phillips plan to issue proclamations signalizing the event.

The President's proclamation was expected to revoke emergency federal taxes of $220,000,000 a year on gasoline, capital stock and dividends. Meanwhile hearings started on a code for wholesalers. It was expected to be complete by tomorrow. A code for rectifiers wiil be taken up theh. Later domestic vintners will be brought under government regulation.

More than 1,200 importers sought permits. They sought to bring in 12,000,000 gallons of foreign liquors, although the government had planned to "estrict importations to 4,800,000 fallens. Repeal Word WILLIAM T. PHILLIPS, JR. Who will make formal proclamation of renea! of Eighteenth Amendment.

COURT REBUKES LAWYER AFTER EXCUSING JURY SALT LAKE CITY Officials set the stage today for Utah's spotlight part hi prohibition repeal to be accomplished tomorrow when twenty-one delegates meet and ratify the twenty-first amendment.

Utah will be the thirty-sixth and last needed state to ratify. It will bring an end to fourteen years of prohibition, sometime between two and three p. m. (EST) the moment the convention ratifies, liquor will bfcome legal in all states not having dry laws. Conventions meet tomorrow in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but Utah delegates were determined to vote last.

If necessary, it was announced, "convenient recesses" will be taken until Ohio, the only possible competitor for the honor of bcteg thirty-sixth, has taken its action Utah will remain dry despite its stand on national prohibition. Not until January first will beverages of 3.2 per cent strength become legal. Stronger drink will-remain -onder strict ban. The convention will be callfd into session at noon (2 p. m.

EST) by Governor Henry Blood. Milton H. Welling, secretary of state, will present the congressional resolution that submitted the repeal amendment to the states. Franklin Ritr.r. chairman of the Utah league for Continued on Page Eleven PERMITS FROM COUNTYBOARD YET AWAITED Stocks of Wines and Spirits Expected from Washingtonville and Newburgb The repeal lid seemed likely today, to go off in Orange and Sullivan counties so far as whiskey, wine and gin is concerned, as slowly as it did when 3.2 beer was legalized last Spring.

Although formal repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment is expected as soon as Utah acts between two and three p. m. tomorrow, prospective dispensers of liquor here saw no likelihood of their having a supply to distribute before late tomorrow night and possibly before Wednesday. Meanwhile some law enforcement officials, including Police Chief Fred Brown of Newburgh and Police Chief George Totty of Walclen are in Albany attending a conference at which they were to map the enforcement of the State Alcoholic Beverage authority with members 'of Uie State ABC Board. The probability that, legal liquor will not be on sale in Middlclown and other points in Orange and Sullivan counties until some time after its sale is legalized hinged or the fact that no retail permits have yet been received by those who applied for them; and on the length of time which probably will be required for transporting liquor wholesalers and jobbers.

Most the supply for Orange and Sullivar is expected to conic from Now York city and as was true with beer, po- distributers believe the New York city trade will be served first, Still Await I'ermits Hotel and restaurant proprietors of the two counties as well as those who have applied for liquor store icenscs had not received them. The jcrmits may be mailed, according to heir information, from New York this afternoon. In that event the dispensers will have permits but will be without the equally important liquor until an undetermined number of hours after formal repeal. The only two wholesale distributors known in Orange County are he Brotherhood distillery inWash- ngtonville, and David A. Clarkson of Newburgh, who holds a federal jermit to distribute but who had not received his state permit.

Clarkson is also said to be depending upon a New York city source for bis supply which is not expected until -after formal repeal. Reports were also current which indicated the supply of illicit liquor would be small and difficult to procure because of the likelihood of prosecution in event of its sale. Therefore it secmd possible that Continued on Page Eleven CITY OBTAINS APPROVAL FOR 8 PLANS Fifty to 75 Men Will Co to Work Tomorrow on Municipal Emergency Program WATERSHED CLEARING AND FIREHOUSE LISTED Number Employed to Be Increased Rapidly Until Roll Reaches 224 Per Week From fifty to seventy-five men be put "to work on the municipal CWA program tomorrow morning, it was announced today by Mayor E.
