SERVICES WEIGH POLICIES ON BEER Effect of Modification Action on Army, Marines and Navy Uncertain. Whether the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, in anticipation of the return of legal beer and wines, are to reverse their traditional dry policy, adopted in the years before national prohibition, is a question now being considered by high officials in the three services. The men who hold the key to_this problem are Secretary of the Navy | Claude A. Swanson and Secretary of War George H. Dern, neither one of whom has indicated officially what his attitude will be under the beer law is ensaged in enacting. Un-| officially, however, it was generally be- leved in the Army and Navy that it Jooks like the sale of beer and wine will be put up largely to the commanding| officers of ships and shore stations and military posts. Ruling May Be Needed. While the legal minds of all three services are summing up their laws and regulations in anticipation of the legali- wation of the banned beverages, the ‘War and Navy Departments said yes-' terday that no official promulgation has | been prepared on the subject. If thel beer which Congress finally approves raises a doubt as to its legality under the Volstead act, which has not vet been repealed, officials said the question of permitting its sale to service person- nel might have to be determined by & legal opinion rendered by the judge ad- Yocate gencral. Otherwise, it ‘Wwas said. {he matter could be easily handled through regulations. Wh%le authorities said _unofficially that if the beer promised 1s legally non- intoxicating, they see no reason why, it the skipper of a vessel or the com- .mander of a post is willing, it could not ke sold in the service canteens. They pointed out, however, that the com- manding officer can forbid the sale of certain things in the canteens under his jurisdiction if he wishes, and if he him- relf is a “dry” could forbid the sale of beer. Since the investigations of the spe- cial Shannon Committee of the Hous® on Government competition in busi- ness, the Army particularly. has sought to restrict the sale of certain articles at its post exchanges. With the legal- izing of beer, the question of compe- tition with nearby bar rooms would probably be raised. Favor Own Control. As a matter of policy, it was said tnofficially at the War Department, commanding officers would much prefer to have the men drink in the post canteens than patronize places outside Army posts where they would not be under observation. Only the “old timers” in all three eervices can remember the days when real beer was replaced by near beer aboard ships and at post exchanges. Back in the administration of Presi- dent McKinley, Secretary of the Navy John D. Long issued an order forbid- ding the sale of alcoholic liquors to enlisted men. This was under date of February 3, 1899, and is now officially known as general order number 508. It reads: “After mature deliberation, the department has decided that it is for the best interest of the service that the sale or issue to enlisted men of Congress malt or other alcoholic liquors on board | + ships of the Navy or within the limits ©f naval stations be prohibited. “Therefore after the receipt of this iorder, commanding officers and com- mandants are forbidden to allow any malt or other alcoholic liquor to be sold to or issued to enlisted men, either on board ship or within the limits of navy yards, naval stations or Marine barracks, except in the medical depart- ments.” Upon the recommendation of the surgeon general of the Navy, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels—the new Ambassador to Mexico—in June, 1914, wbolished the wine mess on board ships and stations of the American Navy, making the same rule apply to officers, as already applied to enlisted men. Mr. Daniels said later that Secretary Long commended him for this action. Situation is Puzling. The Daniels order altered naval in- structions, in what is known as general order No. 99 of his administration, by inserting this paragraph: “The use or introduction for drinking | qt purposes of alcoholic liquors on board | permi any naval vessel, or within any navy yard or station is strictly prohibited, and commanding officers will be held directly responsible for the enforcement of this order.” How all this will affect the new beer end wine legislation being applied in the Navy is a question that is puzzling the service. Secretary Claude A. Swan- son holds the key to the problem, but he has not yet indicated his preference. President Roosevelt was the right-han man of Mr. Daniels when the famous order abolishing the wine mess was promulgated. The Army has been operating a dry gln:y about as long as the Navy. Up 1901 the post exchanges sold beer without restrictions, but after the Span- ish-American War the sale was for- bidden under Army regulations. Com- manding officers, however, were privi- leged to exercise their discretion in hav- ing liquor brought into the posts. The rigid dry regulations under which the Army has operated since shortly before the World War makes it “unlaw- ful for any person to have in his or her possession any intoxicating or spir- itous liquor or beverages at any mili- tary station, cantonment, camp, fort, rout or any premises being used for mil- tary pus es, except as prescribed for medicinal purposes by a medical officer or civilian physician (under existing Tegulations).” HELP COMMUNITY CHEST d | to New: Faces FORMER RAT CATCHER, COWBOY, BY WILL P. KENNEDY. ATCHING rats for 10 cents per ‘ pelt during an epidemic in peddling them in a ramshackle two- wheel cart, as & jeweler's apprentice receiving 10 cents an hour, four years in & logging camp—those are some of the things that Representative Marion A. Zioncheck, from the first congressional district of Washington, has turned his hand to as jack of all trades. He was born 32 years ago in Kety, then part of Austria and now in Po- land. His father operated a tannery. The family moved to this country when Marion was 3 years old. The father went to work in the Chicago stockyards and later in packing-houses on the Pa- cific Coast while his cultured mother took in boarders.. During the long nights on a ranch young Zioncheck read the tales of Horatio Alger. During the World War, too young for the Army, he became & joiner’s appren- tice in the Olympia shipyards, holding a card in the joiners’ union. During his four years in logging camps he worked as “whistle punk,” at rigging, scaling, falling tim- ber and time-keeping. He listened wide- eyed at night around the bunk houses to wild tales of the far-famed Paul Bunyan. the big timber that he decided to make the practice of law his life job.

Swift delivery of beer is being planned by the Roosevelt administration, to fol- low quickly upon the enactment of the beer bill expected early this week. Preliminary arrangements already have been virtually completed for handlihg permits, supervision and taxa- tion. The Government will be ready to accelerate the flow of beer on the fifteenth day after the President’s sig- nature is affixed to the legislation. There will be no red tape tangling up regulations and permits to delay the situation, according to the best informa- tion available from official sources last night. Inquiries from brewers in all parts of the country have been flooding the office | of Dr. James M. Doran, commissioner of industrial alcohol, who will issue the licenses to manufacture beer for sale. Special Committee Busy, A special committee consistirig of rep- resentatives of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the Bureau of Industrial Alco- hol and the Bureau of Prohibition has been busy for several days setting up the machinery to handle licenses, super vision and taxation. Decision has been reached on the kind of stamps and labels to be placed on bottles and kegs, and the nature of su- pe;vision to be placed on bottling (lc—‘ tories. As soon as the President signs the | beer bill, probably tomorrow or Tuesday, it is expected the wheels will be set swiftly into motion at both the Bureau | of Industrial Alcohol, and Bureau of Internal Revenue to prepare for beer in 15 days. In the first place permits will be con- sidered and granted to breweries found to manufacture beer. The first ts will be issued, it is understood, to the big breweries which have been making near-beer and ate prepared to turn out beer of the alcoholic content finally decided upon by Congress. The Senate and House conférees still must decide on a percentage, over which there is now a difference, ranging be- tween 3.05 and 3.2 per cent. Only Near-Beer Plant Here. Brewerles which now hold licenses make near -beer are scattered throughout the United States and the District of Columbia. There are 164 of them, including only one in this city, the Abner-Drury Co., whose plant is at_Twenty-fifth and G streets. Dr. near-beer breweries there is now a sup- ly of about a million gallons of real r already made and on storage, awaiting legal permit to be sold in bottles, kegs, glasses and steins, This real beer has been made as part of the process of making near-beer. Real beer has to be made first in the process, and then the alcohol is taken out. Among the arrangements for Gov- ernment supervision will be one which will require presence of a Government agent in breweries to supervise the amount of beer to be transferred for sale, for the purpose of obtaining the exact tax. The Government plans to take a tax of $5 a barrel, collected from the brewer. Bottles to Be Labeled.

FARM BILL CHANGE SEEN BY ROBINSON Senator Believes Measure Will Restore Purchasing Power of Large Number. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 18.—Senator Joseph T. Robinson came to New York for a debate today and made the ipre} diction that the farm bill probably would be modified, but not emascu- lated. Tomorrow night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music the Senate Demo- cratic leader will debate with Morris Hillquit, National Socialist party chair- man, the question, “Does the Demo- cratic party hold any substantial hope for the American people?” Discussing briefly the farm bill in- troduced by the Roosevelt administras tion, the Senator said he felt it “will re- store the purchasing power of a most important part of the population.” Sees Continued Support. Senator Robinson said he believed the Democratic majority in both Houses would continue to give nearly unani- mous support to President Roosevelt's program. As to beer, he said that while the House and Senate would reach an agreement on the bill by Monday, he could not say whether this would allow brew of 3.2 or 3.05 alcoholic content. Asked to give his impression of the progress made by the new administra- tion, the Senator said: “I feel that the work that has been done since the special session of Con- gress began has done much to amelio- rate conditions. The emergency banking act,_with supplementary measures now s of enactment; the economy act, and the progress toward modifica: tion of the Volstead act have had sul stantial effect in improving conditions. May Leave Some Reforms. “If an effective farm measure can be enacted and satisfactory banking legis- lation worked out, as well as a measure to strengthen the position of the rail- ways, most of the other reforms con: templated in the Democratic platform may be left for the next session.” “It seems to me,” the Senator added, “that the co-operation among the ident, the Democrats of both Houses and many Republicans has been heart- ily welcomed by the public and is in- dicative of what may be expected dur- ing the remainder of President Roose- velt’s administration. 5 —_— KIWANIANS TO ATTEND EVENT IN ANNAPOLIS Granting of New Charter Tuesday Night Will Be Auspicious Event.

He stressed personal appearance as an 5 important factor Jn pleading before juries, and pointed out that few lawyers not having txmlm'lbute have made good as jury loners. He advised against taking up law for the sole purpose of monetary gain, as- serting the practice generally is not a money- business.
