DILL CLINGS TO IDEA OF BREW TEST BY JURY Morale Rather Than Constitutional Issue May Determine Pres- ident's Attitude. The constitutionality of the House 3.2 per cent beer bill will be argued before | a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary | Committee next Saturday, it was deter- | mined by the Judiclary Committee to- day. Six hours will be allowed for the hearing on the legal phases of the bill, | three hours for the opponents and three hours for the supporters of the measure, There was some discussion in the committee on the proposal of Senator Dill that an actual test of the intoxi- cating qualities of 3.2 per cent beer be ordered by the committee, but Senator Dill did not press for a vote on the pro- posal. Senator Dill is a member of the sub- committee which will have charge of the beer bill and indicated after the meeting this morning he had not en- tirely given up his idea for testing the beer to determine its constitutionality. Committee Seeks Speed. The disposition of the committee is to speed up action on the beer bill and get it to the Senate and the Finance Committee as speedily as possible so that it may be brought to a vote. Senator Norris, chairman of the Ju- diciary Committee, said it had been agreed the subcommittee would sit all day Saturday and wind up the hearing. ‘The hearing will begin at 9:30 am., with 23 hours allotted to those op- posing the bill on constitutional grounds, then 3 hours to those upholding the constitutionality of the bill, with a half hour left to the opponents, who will close the argument. ‘The subcommittee to which the beer bill was referred is the same as that which has had charge of the resolution proposing repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Its members are Chair- man Blaine of Wisconsin and Senators Borah, Hebert, Walsh of Montana and Dill Only seven members of the Judiciary Committee were present at the meeting today. Nine members constitute & quorem. * H Chairman Norris ruled that a it number of the committee was present to take action on sending the bill to a subcommittee and to authorize hearings. Norris Opposes Hearings. Senator Norris sald the opponents and supporters of the bill would have to arrange among themselves reg: the disposition of time to the wit- nesses who will apear before the sub- committee, ent upon hearings. Senator Norris himself was not inclined to grant hear- ings because he believed everything has been said that could be said regarding the beer bill. Discussion of the beer bill at the committee meeting showed a tendency on the part of the members to write into the bill penalties against the manufacture and sale of beer with an alcoholic content higher than 3.2 cent by weight. If this course is fol- lowed, Senator Dill pointed out after the meeting, it would not be n for the committee to declare beer of less alcoholic content non-intoxicating and contitutional. If this language can be adopted, he said, the test proposed by him to determine whether the beer is Intoxicating or not would not be necessary. The committee did not undertake to fix on 3.2 per cent as the alcoholic content above which beer shquld not go. The percentage was left to later determination. Senator Dill said he had laid before the committee his ideas regarding a test of the beer to determine its intoxicating qualities and that some of the mem- bers had urged it would delay a report " (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.

By the Assoclated Press. ALBANY, N. Y., January 2.—Inaugu- rated formally today as New York's Governor, Col. Herbert H. Lehman called upon the Pederal Government to aid the Empire State in caring for its “destitute unemployed,” whoce number he estimated at more than a million and a quarter. The former New York banker, who entered public life four years ago as leutenant governor under Franklin liet the State's most serious prcblem. He expressed the hope that the Fed- eral Reconstruction Finance Corporation act will be changed in & way that will “make it easier for us to benefit from this Federal source in meeting the needs of our loyed.” Under present law, New York would be required vir- tually to state that it was at the end of its financial resources before Recon- struetion Pinance Corporation money would be available to it. Gov. Lehman mln'el out the State's eredit-is scund, it the ent relief problem “has now ed the point where aid from the Federal Government is needed in our war and want.” “The Federal relief bill,” Gov. Lehman said, “so defines the conditions under which Federal credit may be made avail- able to the States for employment relief that up to the present it has been dif- or New York State to apply for “The time has come, however, when it is absolutely essential that such appli- cation to the Federal Government be made by our State. “I the terms of the Reconstruc- tion ance Corporation act will be modified and a broader interpretation of the bill given 50 as to make it easier for us to benefit from this Federal source in meeting the needs of our un- employed.” Notables of New York's Democracy were on hand to take part in the inau- guration of Lehman.

Democratic congressional leaders have decided to put another problem on President-elect Roosevelt’s shoulders —how much, if any, the Navy shall | be built up. Despite continual criticism from big Navy advocates that the American fleet | rapidly is becoming “second rate,” the | leaders have concluded that no author- zation for new ships shall go through the present Congress. 1t is, they say, the fag end of the Re- | publican administration, the end of a | naval policy that has been in effect | since the World War. They find, too, | demands for economy right now that they feel would be fatal to any effort to authorize new construction. Consequently, Democratic lenders say naval legislation this session be limited to the anmual appr which will carry something for eon- tinued modernization of battleships snd possibly a comparatively small sum for the construction of destroyers author- ized in 1916. Many to Offer Advice. But, after March 4, there will be | many to offer advice to the new Presi- |dent as he molds the naval policy. Some of the “big Navy” men say they will remind Mr. Roosevelt that, mot| since Mr. Hoover became President has | Congress ‘approved any new ships, while | at the same time other nations were | building up to treaty limits. | ., Among those who will have construc- | tion programs ready for the new Presi- | dent to scrutinize will be Chairman | Vinson of the House Naval Committee. | He believes that around $600,000,000 | should be spent in a graduated program | extending over several years, to build at | least a treaty fleet. | Vinson has several subcommittees at | work to see whether there can be | ‘ccmoudallcm within the Navy or be- | tween the War and Navy Departments | | to effect economies. The findings of these groups will be laid before the| | new President. | Likewise, there will be demands from | some for an entirely new kind of Navy. ‘Represemau\'c McClintic of Oklahoma, | ranking Democrat on the House Naval Committee, is in that group. He has sought for years to replace “slow and unwieldy battlechips with modern | naval crafi—airships and airplanes and | | airplane carriers” and this year intro- duced a bill to abolish battleships. | Favors Plane Carrying. | | He would have each vessel in the | Navy, even the destroyers and sub- | | marines, so constructed that it could | | carry at least one airplane. | “'The last construction program was approved by Congress on February 13, | 1929, just before Mr. Hoover took office. | It authorized the construction of an | airplane carrier and 15 cruisers, which |and Bankhead of Alabama, McKellar | About 3 o'clock Sunday morning a|now are being completed. loud explosion was followed by a slide| In February two years later, Congress of 250 feet of a section of the moun- | authorized modernization of ‘three old | tain 150 feet high.

PARLEY TO STUDY FARM RELIEF AND ECONOMY President-elect Will Confer Thurs- day With Leaders on Program for Present Congress. By the Associated Press. HYDE PARK, N. Y, January 2— Franklin D. Roosevelt today put the bud- get and power issues foremost among the many presidential problems facing him as his term in the Governor's office of New York came to a close. With Senator Norrls of Nebraska, veteran advocate of Government opera- tion, the President-elect will go late this month to the war-time Muscle Shoals, Ala., power and nitrate plant, to study disposition of that gigantic property. Norrls has waged unsuccessful fights against the last two Republican admin- istrations for public control of this in- | active agency in opposition to demands | for private operation. ! Anxious, meanwhile, to have the| present session of Congress determine | deilnitely the budget and farm relief problem, the President-elect will open sonferences this week with Democratic congressional leaders. Parley To Take Up Taxes. On Thursday night at his New York City home he will listen to plans of the party spokesmen for raising new | revenue in place of the sales tax, which he has been banned. The inclusion of ranking members of the congressional Committees on inter- state Commerce in the Thursday night | parley has led to speculation that a| devy on’ interstate shipments may be under consideration. ‘Today found Mr. Roosevelt giving his final attention to New York guberna- torial affairs. The program called for an early automobile trip to Albany for inauguration of his successor, Herbert H. Lehman, and an immediate return to the family estate here. Tomorrow he goes to his home in New York City for two weeks of conferences. On. January 19 the President-elect will turn southward, _with Harm Springs, Ga., and a yacht trip in South- ern ‘waters as his goal. A stopover will be made in Washing- ton on January 20, at which confer- | ences with party members of Congress will be renewed. Farm relief, already a live issue in the House, will be the| subject of discussions then and pos-| sibly before. Included in Party. | Leaving Washington that night, Mr.[ Roosevelt goes to Muscle Shoals for an| inspection of about two hours on Satur- | day. He also has invited Senators Black | and Hull of Tennessee, Representative Hill of Alabama and Frank R. Mc- Ninch, member of the Federal Power C‘t;:?mlaskm, to accompany him on this | visit. | Leaving Muscle Shoals, the President- elect will go direct to Montgomery to| have dinner Saturday night with Gov.| B. M. Miller of Alabama. That night he departs for Warm Springs, arriving the hext day and remaining for two| weeks. Except for party leaders personally invited, he will see no one at Warm Springs. While there he intends to, dispose of the question of selection of a cabinet. Aside from James A. Far- ley of New York, who is slated for Post- master General, the speculation over the cabinet remains vague. MARCHING FARMERS FACE MACHINE GUNS All Highways Approaching Aus- trian City Are Blockaded by Police. By the Associated Press. GRAZ, Austria, January 2—Police | and troops had taken precautionary measures today to forestall violence growing out of a threatened march of farmers against the city hall at Hart-| berg, near Vorau. : All highways approaching Vorau were | barricaded with barbed wire and at several points machine guns were posted. Authorities hoped, however, to break up any incipient rioting with tear gas bombs. The situation was largely a result of a farmers" revolt against the authori- tles' attempt to compel the payment of sickness insurance and other social | benefits by employers of farm labor. There was danger that the trouble: might spread through all Styria. The police were compelled to use bayonets to disperss a mob which stormed the city hall at Vorau Friday and a few days before two officials who , tried to auction a hog for taxes at Rechberg were man-handled by a crowd.

By the Assoclated Press. Freshly elected legislators of 43 States will gather in their respective capitals this month for biennial or annual law- | making sessions. Alabama’s Legisla- ture will convene January 31 for a spe- | clal session to consider taxation and financial problems. | One common task before them will be consideration of the amendment to the Federal Constitution which would abolish the lame duck session of Con- gress and advance the terms of newly | elected Federal officers. Congress adopted the amendment last | March and 17 State ures ratified t. Only 19 more ratifications are needed to bring it into effect. Among the Stafes which already have yoted ratification “are Virginia, New York, Mississippi, Arkansas, Michigan, Rhode Island, Louistana, Pennsylvania, indiana, Texas and Alabama. The States whose Legislatures are not scheduled to meet this month are Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Virginia. The last four will hold their next blennial sessions in 1934. Alabama’s Legislature meets quadren- nially and its next regular session will be in 1935. Drastic Economies Faced. Virtually all of the meeting legisla- tures will have to cope with the double- faced problem of effecting drastic econ- omies while finding new means of tax- ation to balance budgets. Some of them, also, have the task of untangling | the snarled financial affairs of their large cities.

PALM BEACH, Fla, January 2.— President Hoover and his holiday guests | today turned northward by train with the expectation of being back in the Capi- tal by tomorrow morning as a nine-day fishing cruise was brought to a close. Appearing more fit and rested than at any time since the start of his un- successful campaign for re-election, Mr. Hoover carried back toward the White House with him the memory of landing five game sail fish, one of them a 95- inch monster that came within one inch of winning him a diamond trophy.
