7 o4 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, BLAIR CONFIRMED FOR REVENUE POST Senate Vote for Commission- er Stands 59 to 15—Faces “! Puzzling Problems. ‘The nomination of David H. Blair ®f North Carolina to be internal rev- enue commissioner was confirmed by the Senate yesterday. by a vote of 59 to 15, notwithstanding the opposi- tion of Senator Hiram Johnson of California and others. Senator John- son made his final fight against the momination in an executive session of the Senate. The opponents of Mr. Blair, it was said, inciuded the following: Borah, Johnson, Jones of Washing- ton, Kenyon, Ladd, La Follette, Nor- beck and Morris, republicans, and Ashurst. Harris, Harrison, Reed. Sheppard, Wolcott and Watson of Georgia, democrats. Senator Johnson’s Charges. Senator Johnson aocused Mr. Blair of having violated the North Carolina primary law as a delegate at the Chi- cago republican convention last June, by failing to support the California menator, who was high in North Caro- lina’s preference primary. Senator Johnson also contended that Mr. Blair ‘was disqualified because income tax appeals of the nominee’s relatives ‘were pending for action before the internal revenue bureau. Both charges were denied at recent heasngs be- fore the Senate finance committee, which recommended confirmation. Besides a multitude of tax matters which have been held in abeyance during the past weeks many im~ portant prohibition questions await settlement by the new commissioner, according to Treasury officials. Faces Dificult Problems. Foremost of the liquor problems is the issuance of regulations cover- ing the use of beer for medical pur- poses under the opinion rendered by former Attorney General Palmer on asfarch 3. These regulations, it is said. have been prepared and await the study and approval of the commis- sioner. In this connection, it was ex- plained. Mr. Blair must decide whether all brewers shall be permitted to put beer on the market for medical pur- poses or only certain breweries under special permit. Another medical use of alcohol await- ing the attention of the commissioner, it was said, is issuance of regulations | lifting the limit from the number of | prescriptions a doctor may write for | whisky. Under the same opinion hand- | ed down by Mr. Palmer, officials declar- | ed, it was held that the bureau had no | right to fix the arbitrary limit of 100 prescriptions in ninety days mow in force. = New regulations have been drafted tentatively in this connection, it was added. A Delicate Decision. One of the most delicate prohibition decisions Mr. Blair will be called upon to make, officials asserted, is in con- nection with sacramental wine. Under the bureau’s rules, it was said, whole- sale liquor dealers have been forbidden to do business and churches are required to obtain wine for sacramental purposes from wholesale druggists. Protest has been entered by religious bodies, officials sald, on the ground that the churches could not obtain wines o standard quality from the druggists. The churchmen contend. it was ex- plained, that wholesale liquor dealers who confine their business to supplying sacramental wine to religious organi- zations. should be exempted from the bureau’s ban so that the churches may obtain the proper wines for services. BILL ASKS FOR GROUNDS. Sites for Army in Maryland and Virginia Favored. Among items in a bill favorably re- ported by the House military commit- tee proposing purchase by the War Department of over $4.000,000 worth of real estate are the following: For the Aberdeen, Md., proving grounds, $174.000; for the quartermaster ware- house at Baltimore, $215,650; for pur- chase of a tract for a supply base at Norfolk, Va., $190.000, and for quar- termaster warehouses at Newport News, Va., $223,670.

The skeleton of clothes that are “out of style,” for “style” mearns very little to the naked people—men, women and little children—who, driven from their homes by the war, are still in exile, and in need. They are willing to work, but industry is paralyzed. there is no work for them to do. And the NEAR EAST RELIEF is trying to help them, trying to put them on their feet again. Every man, woman and child in America is asked to help. Send money, or send your old clothes—not tattered party finery, but clothes that will cover and warm freezing, aching bodies. “Hundreds of little children in the orphanage at Harpoot suffer from acute rheumatism and pneumonia as a result of lack of clothes. Some even have gangrene from frozen feet.” A single coat may save a human life. ‘A day’s delay in sending it may cost one. Won’t YOU bundle up your cast-off clothing, and let the children slip some old toys in—babies the world over love toys—and take your bundle to the near- est Fire Station on June 1st, for the firemen are helping by taking care of all bundles left with them on June Ist.
