ADVOCATES OF BEER AND REPEAL FACING STRONG OPPOSITIO Speaker Garner Drafts Repeal Resolution to Considera- tion By Committee bition repeal and beer advocates in the present congress are meeting op- position from drys that may result in complications of their plans for speedy action. Some opponents of outright repeal last week demanded a repeal vote before action on beer, after wets had made known their plans first to seek Volstead modification. Speaker Garner's announcement he would permit a repeal resolution to be voted on in the house on the first day of congress took drys by surprise. Republicans who had set up a clamor for a repeal vote before action on beer also were taken un- | awares. As a result drys began to scout about for other tactics to delay ac- tion on both repeal and beer. Senator Borah of Idaho, Republi- can prohibitionist leader, said that repeal should be acted on first. Oth- ers have said privately they would vote for repeal, but not for beer. ‘They do not want either to come up. So, the question of alcoholic content of beer, the matter of distri- bution, and other questions are be- ing raised. Those who don’t want to vote on outright repeal are seeking to force a provision outlawing the saloon. Some drys believe they have a bet- ter opportunity of preventing rati- fication of repeal by putting the question before state conventions, which they hope to control. Some anti-prohibitionists desire action by state legislatures to expedite action. Many Democrats and Republicans who have switched from dry to wet in recent months claim they would have to vote for repeal before beer, and this is one reason advanced for Speaker Garner’s decision for a re- (Continued on page Nine) ——————____——— | Bismarck Golfer | Scores an Ace The thrill that few golfers ex- perience has come to Dr. R.

Y., to Confer With Emma Kleinhertz New York, Nov. 28.—(?)—The Char- ley Ross case, a kidnaping mystery for 58 years, was revived Monday in the death from hunger of a derelict of the city streets. Perhaps, like countless others be- fore it, the new clue to the solution lof one of the most baffling crimes of American history, may lead nowhere. Scores of persons in the years since four-year-old Charley Ross was al ducted from in front of his German- town, Pa., home have claimed to know his whereabouts, but all have failed in proof. Mrs. Emma Kleinhertz of Catskill, N. Y., believes she has evidence the Bowery derelict, William Bromson, of whose death from mal-nutrition she read recently in a New York newspa- per, was really Charley Ross. Detec- tives were in Catskill Monday ques- tioning her. Officers at the missing persons bu- Teau were skeptical when they re- ceived a letter from Mrs. Kleinhertz identifying Bromson as Ross. She said she and Ross had been friends all their lives. He was a small boy was the Ross boy. She said he gave her papers in substantiation of what he said, and made her promise she would not disclose their contents until he died. These papers, still in her possession, were to be shown to de- tectives Monday. Charley Ross was four years old ‘when he was kidnaped 58 years ago.| ° Bromson’s‘age on the death certificate 18 62, He had no known relatives liv- ing. There was only one mark of identi- fication on the Ross boy—a vaccina- tion scar. A similar scar was the only mark found on the body of Bromson. The promise of fireworks was the lure used by two men who coaxed the drawn vehicle the afternoon of July 1, 1874. His brother Walter, six, was kidnaped at the same time, but was found crying on @ Philadelphia street corner, eight miles away, several hours later. A fortune was spent in the hunt for the boy. One trail led to Albany and York police to check the new clue Monday.

Monday, with the cold somewhat mitigated, Boston marked up the coldest Nov. 27 on its records, with a minimum reading of eight above. Borne on down the Atlantic sea- board by a northeast gale, the temper- ature drop spread into Dixie, with sub-freezing readings reported at Asheville, Richmond, Birmingham, Little Rock and Menphim. A schoon- er was grounded at Fernandina, Fla., and small craft were tossed about at widely scattered points. In this area, also, residents were promised rising temperatures. Lost in the marsh country near Cambridge, Md., two hunters perish- ed. Two deaths in New York City were attributed to the cold and the minimum—12 above zero—was a rec- ord low for the date.

ROOSEVELT STARTS INTENSIVE STUDY OF BUDGETARY DETAILS Outlays For His First Year Will Be Recommended By Present Officials Warm Springs, Ga., Nov. 28—(P)}— Faced by the prospect of having the governmental budget for the first fis- cal year of his administration framed by Republicans, Franklin D. Roosevelt has begun an extensive study of na- tional budgetary matters and his con- ferences this week largely will revolve around that hup. The president-elect is in the posi- tion of having pointed several times during his campaign to the Demo- cratic platform pledge of a 25 per cent reduction in governmental ex- Ppenditures and yet having all of the outlays that will be made during the first year of his administration draft- ed by a budget bureau chief and pre- sented by a president of the opposite party to a congress of divided control. The forthcoming short session will pass the appropriation bills that al- locate the funds for the operation of the government until the end of June, 1934, but it is likely that will be the last time an incoming president will be faced with such a situation. ‘The constitutional amendment de- reading was 66.

ANNOUNCES INCOME St. Paul, Nov. 28.—()—Net operat- time in his 69 years, Henry Ford was @ hospital patient Monday, recovering from an operation for relief from strangulated femoral hernia and for removal of his appendix. A series of bulletins from the sick room in the hospital that bears his name, gave reiterated assurance that the motor magnate was making “sat- isfactory” progress. | From unofficial ‘but professional sources, however, came word the “crisis” following such operations us- ually occurs about 48 hours later. In the case of Ford that would be late Monday, for the operation was performed about 5 p. m. Saturday. In his favor were his previous good health, for it was his boast that “I have never been sick a day in my life,” and the fact a new type of anesthetic used in the operation imposed a mini- mum of strain upon his heart. The bulletins were terse but opti- mistic. The latest, at 11 p. m,, said the patient “had a good day and his condition is satisfactory.” A 4:30 p. m. bulletin gave Ford’s temperature as 100 and his pulse as 72. In the present case, no news is construed as good news, for at the time of the 11 p. m. bulletin, physicians said no more would be issued until late morning unless a change occurred. That the concern for Ford’s recov- ery is world-wide was proved by the flood of messages. No list was made public of prominent well-wishers, but @ person close to the family said that messages had been received from President Hoover, George V., King of England, Mussolini, and many others. A bulletin issued at 11 a. m. Mon- day said that “Mr. Ford’s physicians report he passed a favorable night.

Col. G. W. Harris, post commander. This order, sent to Maj. Gen. Johnson Hagood, commanding the Seventh Corps area at Omaha, and relayed here for the information of the local post commander, brings to a close the effort to abandon Fort Lincoln and Bismarck’s fight to maintain it in operation. The agitation to move the troops from Fort Lincoln began in 1931 as Part of a so-called economy move to concentrate the nation’s military forces in the larger posts of the country and definite orders were is- sued at that time for the abandon- ment. the movement was postpon Jan. 1, 1933. Unless the postpone- ment order had been canceled the troops stationed here would have been transferred to Jefferson Bare racks, Mo., at that time.

In some cases the property was turned over to other governmental departments. The reasons ascribed for the action in each case were the alleged economies to be effected by troops in large units and the military advisability of so doing. In a brief which Bismarck pre- sented to the war department, the aitell vee val tract existed whereby citizens of this area had donated the land for the military reservation in exchange for the location of the fort in Bismarck. The fact that the buildings at the local post are of much better con- Struction than those at some posts which subsequently were organized also was stressed, along with the fact that this is the only post in North ace one Shi State is entitled to a establishment. aes Trygg Services Set For 2 P.
