- 6 BRITONS MAY HAVE AR SPEMEASES ‘Fiying Passengers Want Same Rights as Those Traveling by Rail. .—The anomalies of Britain's enacted liquor restrictions, still operative, not only are held by the mass of consumers to be Tesponsible for widespread efforts to beat the law cn land, but may lead to the existence of speakeasies in the air In_the near future. It has recently been held that con- suming hours on terra firma hold good in the air above the British Isles until the three-mile limit has been passed. Not many air passengers agree with this view. which they say is based on the old idea that a man who owns a piece +0f land enjoys sole rights to the air above it to the dome cf heaven itself, and that the government is assuming that the King's Writ runs in all that exists above the British Isles to ihe three-mile limit. Unless an air passenger takes his own hip flask he must go dry until outside the three-mile limit if tke pubs below (Are closed. Those who make an early morning start for the Continent, espe- cially when conditions threaten to be- come “bumpy,” are ed at the idea of nothing to drink until the three-mile Hmit is passed. It is asserted that one or two shots of brandy at the outset might avoid discomfort or airsickness. Different on Trains.

TIiE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JUNE 19, 1932—PART TWO. OPPENHEIM SUFFERS SUNSTROKE AT VILLA Somerset Maugham Prepared for Extreme He.nc Along Coast at Cap Ferrat. NICE (N.AN.A).—So much brilliant sunshine has ccme already to Cagnes- Sur-Mer, near Nice, that E. Phillips Oppenheim has been suffering from sunstroke at his villa there. It is hoped that he soon will recover, for his parties at Monte Carlo are proverbial delights and he is himself the indispensable pivot on which their success turns. Somerset Maugham, an equally pro- lific worker, with a lcvely villa further | along the coast at Cap Ferrat, has not | yet succumbed to the sunshine like | his distinguished contemporary. Mr. Maugham has a swimming pool adjoin- ing his villa where attendants in bath- ing suits serve drinks to the thirsty; in his own suite he has a deligtful lapis lazuli bath, and his work room is | spacious and lofty, with a domed roof. | He should keep cool! At Juan-Les-Pins, where Mistinguett has been judging many lovely pairs of legs, there have appeared upon the fair ones long trousers with frills of white |lace made to look like the sheepskin | chaps worn by cowboys. The fashion is | completed with a revolver case—col | taining powder, puff and perfume! Mistinguett herself affects a dark-blue | sailor suit, with a large red pompon on the dark-blue cap.

Bishop James Cannon, ir., of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, Fri- day declared the Republican con- vention did not “pledge any nominee of the party to follow any specific course.” His statement, made in comment on the G. O. P. prohibition plank, follows: “The Republican convention plank on the eighteenth amendment substan- tially declares: “1. It pledges the party to the en- rcement of the law and opposes nul- on. . Referenda without constitutional | sanction are void. | .. “3. Prohibition is not a partisan po- | litical question, and no public official, which includes Senators and Congress- men, nor any members of the Repub- | lican, party, are bound by the conven- | tion action on this question. | 4.

The convention declares that Congress should submit this substitute as an amendment to be acted upon by State conventions. This action would give the people an opportunity to decide whether they will retain the eighteenth amendment,unchanged or will adopt an amendment which will permit the sev- eral States to legalize the sale of in- toxicants as their citizens may deter- mine, such legislation to be subject to the power of the Federal Government to protect these States where prohibi- tion exists and to safeguard the citi- zens everywhere from the return of the saloon and its attendant evils, “There are two outstanding facts. First, the convention does not pledge any nominees of the party to follow any specific course. It does advise that a certain definite action be taken by Congress which will submit to the peo- ple the question of the retention of the eighteenth amendment or the adoption of a proposed s.bstitutc. It does not declare any preference as between the elghteenth amendment and the substi- tute proposed. “The second outstanding fact is that | this question of the retention of the eighteenth amendment or the substitu- | tion of the proposed amendment auto- | matically becomes an issue in the Fall | senatorial and congressional elections, | as only Congress can decide whether it | will submit any resolution and, if so, | what shall be the exact terms of the resolution to be submitted.” Wigs and PATENT TOUPEES World's finest.
