C. Townley industrial program and endorsing the Missouri River Diversion proposal were among six adopted unanimously at a meeting of the Burleigh county unit of the Young Democrats of America here Tuesday evening. Other resolution'’s reaffirmed the unit’s faith in President Franklin D. Roosevelt, appealed for work toward &@ “sane” orderly and constitutional government” and pledged the organ- ization to work for legislation that will “completely divorce the adminis- tration of our state institutions, edu- cational, penal and charitable, from Political exploitation.” Seventy-five young Democrats at- tended the session, representing Wil- ton, Wing, Sterling, Regan and Bis- marck. Plans for a social meeting of the organization shortly after the first of the year were discussed and an- nouncement was made that several district club meetings in the county are planned in the near future. Take Crack At Langer “We favor a permanent morator- ium, and a continuing embargo,” said one resolution, “1 ing Jan. 1, 1935, on noise, ballyhoo, theatricals i in the administra- tion of our state government. Noise can never be a substitute for argu- ment; the use of the militia for pure- ly political stunting degrades the dig- nity of its high function in the scheme of government; and five-per cent racketeering among the employes of state departments and institutions, Places the stamp of government ap- proval upon the work of the common hold-up artist, while destroying the morale of the employees.” Apparently referring to Townley’s cheese factories, woolen mills, ma- tries, another resolution said “We shall vigorously oppose any plan to commit the state of North Dakota to @ new program of industrial experi- mentation. We characterize it as Political hokum designed to embar- rass the national administration and to further the ambitions of political soldiers of fortune. Be it further re- solved that copies of this resolution be sent to all young Democrats clubs in North Dakota and the proper offi- cials in Washington.” In a terse resolution, the Demo- crats sald “We favor the early com- pletion of the Missouri River Diver- sion plan as being vital to the future welfare of agriculture, both in North Dakota and the entire Northwest.” ‘The other three resolutions adopt- ed follow: Commend President “We reaffirm our faith in the cour- age and vision of our distinguished president, Franklin D. Roosevelt. We commend his determination to plan our National Recovery program on a broad and solid foundation, looking tinued and hearty support.” F Z it Fee 3 g 5-53 i Span Sou IS NOTED IN AREAS RELEASED FROM BAN Observers Assert Festivities Lacked Fervor Which Has Been Anticipated Washington. Dec. 6—(#)—A nation that had made federal probition just @ repealed constitutional amendment worked hard Wednesday to adjust it- self to the new order of things. And, surprisingly to some, the 19 states whose laws permitted the sale of hard liquor after Utah late Tues- day became the 36th to ratify repeal, had comparatively few citizens feel- ing the worse Wednesday for celebra- tions. Throughout the country the festivities seemed to lack the fervor some had forecast. In many cases the supply was scant; in several states regulatory set-ups had not been completed so the liquor sup- pliers were few. There were, too, many indications that a number of state officials ex- pected to follow the lead of President Roosevelt who, in proclaiming repeal of the nearly 14-year-old law, stated his future aims in these words: “The policy of the government will be to see to it that the social and po- litical evils that have existed in the pre-prohibition .era shall not be re- vived nor permitted again to exist.” He asked “especially that no state shall, by law or otherwise, authorize the return of the saloon either in its old form or in some modern “guise” and said the “objective we seek through a national policy is the edu- cation of every citizen toward a great- er temperance throughout the na- tion.” Seek New Solutions The organization he was creating to effectuate that declared policy plugged away on the hundreds of problems necessitated by the repeal of a law its place. The recovery and agricul- tural acts, with their code provisions, were being used until congress could enact necessary laws. Distillers, brewers and importers already were under codes; hearings had just been held on one for the rectifiers and blenders. Numerous attempts were being made to keep bootleggers from profiting by the expected increased demand. Joseph H. Choate, Jr., who is head of the new federal alcohol control administration, in one of his first orders tried to speed legitimate supplies. The temporary liquor import com- mittee, which he heads, continued is- suing permits for immediate impor- tation of American-type bourbon and rye whiskey suitable for blending. The committee did not say how much of that liquor would be admitted, but of- ficials estimated Canada had nearly 20,000.000 gallons which could be im- Ported into the United States. O. G. Christgau, executive assistant to the superintendent of the Anti- Saloon League, warned that “so long as the liquor traffic exists the battle against this intolerable evil will go cn.” Sees Dry Law's Return Edwin E. Blake, national secretary of the prohibition party, forecast that national prohibition will return. Those states in which, theoretically at least, the sale of spirits became legal with repeal, were Massachusetts, Con- necticut, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Colorado, Arizona, California, Wash- ington, Louisiana, New York, Dela- ware, Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Maryland and Rhode Island. Utah, number 36 in the state lineup at 5:31 P. M., couldn’t even have 3.2 beer until January 1, while its legis- lature must repeal the state law be- fore harder liquors become legal. In New York John Barleycorn came back, but he had restraint and dig- nity; in California he was just about as well-behaved; in New Jersey, one of the wettest of the wet states, Governor Moore Friday night left the state of- ficially dry when he vetoed the liquor control bill passed by the legislature. The legislature, however, re-enacted it over his veto. Little ceremony marked Washing- ton’s official promulgation of repeal. President Roosevelt and William Phil- lips, acting secretary of state, simply signed the necessary to end, on January and July 1, about $212,000,000 in various taxes which are to be replaced by liquor levies. \Crowd in Louisiana .

Lindbergh, complet- ing a transatlantic flight from Bath- urst, Africa, landed at Natal, Brazil, at 12:55 p. m, eastern standard time, Wednesday a message to Pan- American Airways said. ‘The message, flashed to Pan-Amer- ican's station at Miami, was sent by telephone to the Alrline'’s headquar- ters here. The great monoplane landed on the harbor at 2:55 p. m., Brazilian time (12:55 p. m., E. 8. T. The streets and docks were thronged with huge crowds of Bra- zilians who had waited throughout the day for the arrival of the famous American couple. By general agreement, all business houses and stores in the city were closed for nearly an hour before the Lindberghs’ arrival in celebration of the great event. For Lindbergh it was the third aerial spanning of the Atlantic. His first flight, in 1927, skyrocketed him to the attention of the world. On that occasion, flying the famous old ship, Spirit of St. Louis, he stayed in the air 3313 hours before the lights of Le Bourget field appeared before him. The distance on that occasion Was 3,610 miles, almost double what he did Wednesday with his wife at “ames Plane rose in bright m ht the rs ae Mary island, on which Bathurst stands, at wwo o'clock Wednesday morning, Greenwich time, (9 p. m.

The sun had crept up behind them and the plane was speeding smoothly through the dawn when squalls ap- Peared in the flier’s path. No note of worry, however, came from the 1:27 a, m.

At 2:15 a. m. the wireless mentioned “frequent squalls.” The plane at that hour— five hours and 15 minutes out of Bathurst was 630 miles on its way. At that rate the Lindbergh’s would reach Natal about noon, Eastern Standard Time. At 3:17 a. m. the plane was 745 miles out of Bathurst.

The ad interim appointment of J. E. Pfeifer, named to replace Wenzel dur- ing the commissioner's suspension, ‘was revoked by the governor. A hearing before a special commis- sioner named by the governor to take testimony on charges against Wenzel is scheduled to open Thursday. Wenzel was suspended October 26 and Pfeifer was named by Langer to take over the office. A writ of cer- tiorari was sought by Wenzel in Bur- leigh county district court and Judge C. W. Buttz handed down a decision holding the governor was without au- thority to suspend, but that he had authority to order a removal hearing. Langer, in his order revoking Pfeif- er's appointment, took notice of Judge Buttz’ ruling and said he desired to comply with the order of the court. The governor's order is immediately effective. The hearing, to open Thursday, will be to take testimony on the charges, and a transcript will be filed with the governor.

Although it was said at the white house that the chief executive has not yet studied the matter deeply, he was jSald to feel that an investigation of ; the possibilities of such a move should {be made. One question he feels should be studied, in view of the great expanse {of the Missouri Valley, is whether the | Project would be too large an enter- | Prise to be embraced by a single au- | thority, Further, Roosevelt was said to be entertaining a similar attitude toward the Arkansas River valley. The president has not yet discussed |his ideas with Senator Norris (Rep.- Neb.) leader of the fight for the crea- tion of the Tennessee authority, but it was intimated he would do so later. The Nebraskan announced recently he would introduce a bill in the next congress to provide for the develop- ment of the Missouri Valley in much the same manner as the Tennessee Project. | MONGOLIANS IN REVOLT Tokyo, Dec. 6—(#)—Civil war has | flared in outer Mongolia, with nation- | alists rising against the Soviet’s nine- year domination of the regime which has Urga as its capital, said Japanese Leola reports to the war office Wed- When the angel had gone away from them into Heaven, the shepherds said, one unto another, Let us go into Bethlehem and see this thing which has come to pass; let us look upon qur Saviour.
