Although is defeat has been attributed to the | opposition om of the drys, many of his insist that « goodly number 90.000 Germans in the state | punished Mr. Hitcheock for his ¢ championthip of the Wilson cause after the war. So even the dry lead- | ers frankly admit that there is a doubt ax to the meaning of Nebraska's vote, though they claim the state is' ary,‘which undoubtedly it is. as Sen- or Hitcheock himself was a convert to the cause. | Wets Lack Majority. i Dry headquarters concedes the wet | “trength to be about 133 and argues' hat in the next Congress 296 will be | definitely dry.

Supposing Congrass decides to | permit the manufacture of 2.75 beer | and light wines. The Antl-Saloon | League argues that such a modifica- tion would be futile, as forty-three of the forty-eight states of the Union have their own laws making one-half | of 1 per cent the legal alcoholic con- | tent for beverages of all kinds. Cali- ‘ornia has just adopted by referendum | Ihis one-half of 1 per cint standard. | 'he law of Congress permitting a | greater degree of alcohol would not be effective in any states which had laws »f their own at one-half of 1 per cent. Two states have the 1 per cent stand- and two states—Maryland and | achusetts—haven’'t any limit, but | overned by federal statute. No “Light Wines.” The Natlonal Association Opposed to Prohibition admits there is no such thing as a “light wine,” and that un- less wines are fortified with sufficient Icohol they turn into vinegar. Most heverages known as light wines con- tain at least 14 per cent alcahol. Congress has the right to say whether beer of 2.75 per cent or wine of 14 per cent is intoxicating, and therefore, whether a law permitting the same would be in conflict with th eizhteenth amendment of the Conatitu- tlon. The drys are confident that th Supreme Court would uphold their con. tention that a 2.75 beer or a wine with 14 per cent content of alcohel would | he construed ax intoxicating, and the | modification of the Volstead act along | these lines declared in conflict with | the eighteenth amendment. [ ‘This isn’t going to prevent the wets, however, from carrying their figh along and throwing it into the courts, for they figure that the more contro- versy is stirred up the weaker will the dry cause become. Simllarly the drys argue that the only legitimate Zet the beer and light wines | i { f | two-thirds vote to submit to the s eral states of the Union a priposal to modify the eighteenth ame: that the manufacture of 3.7 wine of definite alcoholie gen {ing and. ! was selected ‘of his excellent record. fcovered from a return of his dis- THE 'WASHINGTON HERALD MRS, PURCHASED BY HEARST "Announcement Made of Sale.

Ruling in Controversy Over Portu- guese Ship Repairs. A controversy over repairs to ships claimed to be the property of the Portuguese government at New York must be settled in the courts and not by diplomacy, the United States Su- preme Court decided yesterday in an opinion holding that the Portuguese consul general in New York has not the diplomatic immunity he claims in the case. The SBupreme Court uphold the action of the lower federal courts in asserting jurisdiction on the ground that the Portuguese govern- ment previously had walved its rights as a sovereign. — Earth tremors felt again last night in Chile were not registered on the Georgetown University selsmograph, indicating, according to Father Ton- dorf, director of the observatory, that they were slight in_comparison’ with those which caused heavy loas of life and property in Chile last S8aturday. GETS $2,000 RAISE. County Engineer in Virginia With- drmaws Resignation. CLARENDON, Va., November 14 (Special).—Reappointment of George F. Garrett as county engineer was made yesterday by the board of super- visora in regular session at the court- hou! Under the appointment Mr. Garrett {a to receive a salary of $5,- 000 per year, an increase of $2,000 per year over his former salary. The resignation of Mr. Garrett, submitted to the board several months ago, it {s sald, has been withdrawn, That the board appreciates the need and value of good fire protection in the county was evidenced by the fact that it agreed to give financial ald to the three leading volunteer depart- ments of the county.

The drys do not say they will co-operate to secure such a sub- mission. They will fight it tooth and nail, and if it passes Congress they will wage intessant warfare against the proposed amendment in the states resorting to a referendum and every- thing else to beat modification of the elghteenth amendment. Fight to Be Long. As for the wets, they will not take the short cut suggested by the Anti- Saloon League. Thelr atrategy is to eep the ssue alive and to make it a vital factor in every election, so that ‘wet members of Congress from the populous atates will increase {n num- bers. Their plan is to make a demon- stration of strength s0 as to swing the doubtful ores into line. The end of the fight is off. It will be at least a yoar before a test vote of last week's election will be possible on wet and dry question in Congre: And by that time the campaign of 1934 wil be on, with both parties wondering how to handle the problem fn their national platforms. Briefly, the wets have grown more vocal and active and are really organizing for a fight.

Miss Nelson has just returned to Athens after a survev of conditions at Saloniki. “First careful examination of the refugee area at Saloniki just com- pleted,” the Nelson message said. “This is the largest refugee center in Greece.

PROBES ALLEGED ‘AIRCRAFT RING” House Member Reports on Charge of Alleged Favorit- ism in Buying Planes. INQUIRY FOR AERO CLUB Representative Woodruff Informed Independent Manufacturers Unable to Get Orders. —_— Representative Roy O, Woodruff of Michigan, requested by the Aero Club of America to investigate charges that the military establishments of the government are giving contracts for airships exclusively to an “air- craft ring,” today laid before Representative Kelley of Mich- igan, chairman of the subcommittee on naval appropriation of the House appropriations committee. Rep sentative Woodruff. on his re- turn to the Capitol tod. said that for a long time he has had befora him information showing that independent Mmanufacturers cannot get contracts for airships or parts from the govern ment military bureaus, although oftentimes their bids ax specifica- tions are better than those submitted {by a favored group of big manufac- | turers. See. Cause of Accidents. A delegation of officers and mem- bers of the Aero Club of America in soliciting Representative Woodruff's activity in this matter emphasized that many fatal accidents in which flying officers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps have been killed or maimed were due to this exclusive giving of contracts to the big manu- facturers. Representative Woodruff said that while some excellent records have been made in recent meets, not one has been won by a machine that was not using certain parts on which the patents were held by manufacturers. He explained that the position of the War and Navy Depart- ment is that in the event of war they will need these big manufacturers, and in order to keep their plants in operation and to hold their force of expert workmen it is necessary to give them the government contracts. Instances Specified. Mr. Woodruff said he had specific information in regard to certain bids which were rejected, although the of- ficial test showed that the craft of- fered was superior in speed and lift- ing power to those for which the con- tracts were let at one-third higher price. Representative Woodruff said it is his intention to expose the condi- tions on the floor of the House at the earliest opportunity. ——e AGT NEXT MONDAY INHALL-MILLS GASE By the Associated Pres NEW BRUNSWICK, N.

Arrangements to call the in- quisttors were perfected at a confer- ence yesterday between Deputy At- torney General Wilbur A. Mott and Prosecutor Beekman of Somerset county. It was first decided to sum- mon the jurors Thursday, but Prose- cutor Beekman suggested the post- ponement until Monday because a new sheriff took office today and he desired to acquaint the new official with the case. More than fifty witnesses will be summoned for the hearing. It is po sible Mrs. Francis Stevens Hall, widow of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, slain with his choir leader, Mr: Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, will be per- mitted to testify.

Mrs, Hall today addressed letters to Mr. Mott and Foreman Gibb of the grand jury declaring her inno- cence of any participation in the double slaying and asking that she be permitted to tell her story before the investigating body.

BERLIN, November 14—The text of the German government's note to the reparations commission, expressing the willingness of the Reichsbank to participate in a loan of several hun- dred million gold marks to stabilize Germany's currency, is expected to be published today. Another feature of the note is a re- quest for a three or four yeat mora- torium. According to the newspapers the note also includes the demand for a definite settlement of the reparation question. In return for these accom- modations, which include a loan up to the sum put up by the Reichs- bank, Germany would undertake to increase production by _ prolonging working hours and to effect savings in administration by reducing the number of officials, the newspaper a. counts of the government note re- port.
