COLLECTION OF TAX Federal Officials to Be Pres- ent When Brewers Bottle, Measuring Output. By the Associated Press. Methods to be employed by the Fed- eral Government in collecting taxes on the newly authorized beer will be‘ simylar to those used before prohibition. | it was explained yesterday by Federal suthorities, The taxes will be collected at the breweries, where giant measuring vats, some holding as much as 5,000 gallons, will be set up in each plant, with inlet and outlet pipes, which may be looked by the Government inspector. Vats to Determine Tax. When the brewer wishes to bottle, the ealibrated vat will be filled to the point desired and revenue collectors will take the tax. Then the outlet pipe will be opened by the inspector, who will at the eame time lock the intake. Kegs will have the revenue stamp placed squarely over the bunghole, so that destruction will be necessary to pour out the beer. To insure that the beer does not exceed the legal 3.2 per cent alcoholic oontent, an instrument called an *ebuliometer” will be used. Dr. James M. Doran, chief of the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, pointed out, water boils at about 100 degrees centigrade and alcohol at 78 degrees. The ebuliometer will register the boil- mf point of the beverage, which if lega’, will be just a few notches below 100 ‘degrees. Samples to Be Taken. 2l In addition to this test, occasional | faboratory samples will be taken and the inspector will have a complete in- ventory of the brewery supplies so he can judge the amount of the various fingredients used to produce fermenta- tion. Doran expressed a belief that with the co-operation which the brewers have shown there will be only occasional necessity for rejecting beer which ex- ceeds the legal alcoholic content. He said brewers would undoubtedly leave themselves a margin for operation, which would, perhaps, send much of the beer on the market slightly below the legal alcoholic rate.

Mr. Roosevelt yesterday asked At- torney General Cummings for a report , on the status of Federal prisoners con- victed of beer sales. A number of bills have been introduced in Congress pro- viding for the release of such prisoners. The bill legalizing both the amber brew and also wine of 3.2 per cent alcoholic content became law with the signature of President Roosevelt at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. “And I hope you got the smile at the end,” he remarked to photographers who recorded the signing in the cabi- net room at the White House execu- tive office. Ceremony Simple. Wearing 8 broad grin himself an thour earlier, Vice President Garner had affixed his signature to the legislation to send it from Congress to the White House. The act authorizing beer became a law in a scene as simple as it was brief. Informed that the enrolled measure was at the White House, President Roosevelt walked across the hall from his office to the cabinet room where moving picture photographers had set up_their machines. Stephen T. Early, a secretary, handed the bill to the President who was seated at his regular place at the head of the long narrow table. With pen ‘in hand, Mr, Roosevelt scanned the six pages, then folded over the last one and reached for the ink. TWO PLAINTIFFS WIN' VERDICTS IN ACCIDENTS Verdicts in favor.of two plaintiffs ‘were returned to Justice Jesse Adkins in District Supreme Court A. Freeman, 8214 Georgla avenue, was awarded $4,500 for injuries received when struck by 8 taxicab near Thirteenth and Gallatin streels September 16, 1931. Another jury returned a verdict for $1.000 in favor of Mrs. Minnie Beyer, administratrix of the estate of Theo- dore Beyer, who was struck by & bus of the Washington.

The Columbia Broadcasting System stated that it has arranged to hang microphones from the ceiling in the Senate District Committee room to put the hearings on the air over Station WJSV.

Plans for a civic festival moved forward as 18 leaders in business, political and industrial life were appointed to a committee to ar- range pageants, parades, songfests and other manifestations of ‘“gemuet- lichkeit” (good fellowship). SAN FRANCISCO, March 23 (#).— If 3.2 per cent beer becomes legally available in the United States at 12:01 a.m. April™7, San Francisco and perhaps other cities of the Pacific time belt ly will hoist the foaming glass at 9:01 p.m. April 6. Federal Judge Frank H. Kerrigan is authority for the statement. He said it was “obvious” that if the law became effective at a given hour in Washington, it would become effective elsewhere simultaneously. COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 23 (P)— In aspecial message to the Legislature, Gov. George White yesterday called for emergency action on a bill to legalize the manufacture and sale of 3.2 per cent beer. Immediate passage is needed, he told lawmakers, to meet the need for in- creased State revenues, give Ohio an equal start with neighboring States in manufacture and sale, and to boost business and aid employment. But with all of this, the Governor added, his pen is poised to veto any measure “which does not make ample provision against the return of the old- time saloon.” A few minutes after the Assembly had received the message, the Senate Judi- ciary Committee began wrestling with the measure the Governor wants passed. NEW YORK, March 23 (#).—Varied and extensive plans have been put for- ward by brewers, hotel men and pros- pective dispensers for the return of legalized beer to the metropolis, but determination of the exact date when the beverage will be available still lies with the Legislature at Albany. After a public hearing there today, Gov. Lehman and legislative leade; expect to agree upon control measures, but details attendant to such machinery are 50 numerous the opinion was generally expressed that the way for State sale would not be clear until after the national law becomes opera- tive April 7. FRANKFORT, Ky., March 23 (#).— Sale of 3.2 per ‘cent beer in Kentucky will be within the law, Attorney Gen- eral Bailey P. Wootton said yesterday, if the congressinal beer bill signed by President Roosevelt is held constitu- tional. Wootton gave his opinion to Carl B. Wachs of Lexington, executive secretary of the Kentucky M e. “It is my opinion cities would have authority to take any action with reference to the sale of beer which they may now take under the law with reference to the sale of other non-in- toxicating drinks,” Wootton said. TALLAHASEE, Fla., March 23 (P).— ‘Whether Florida is to have 3.2 beer and wine remains debatable, but there Is no question that attempts will be made to legalize these beverages when the Legislature meets here April 4. Several members of the assembly have announced their intention to in- the benefit of the new Federal law, but Attorney General Cary D. Landis a few days ago wrote an opinion in which he said this cannot be done until Florida amends her constitution. HARTFORD, Conn., March 23 (P)— Kenneth Wynne, executive secretary to Gov. Wilhur L. Cross, has expressed the opinion that sale of 3.2 per cent beer will be legal in Connecticut on April 7 despite the fact that the State enforce- | ment act is still on the books. Wynne explained that the enforce- ment act only prohibits the sale of | liquor held to be intoxicating by Federal laws. He said the Governor, members of the Li?uor Control Study Commis- sion and leading lawyers of the State had concurred in this interpretation of the enforcement act. ‘The executive secretary expressed the opinion, however, that legislation will probably be enacted to permit the State to regulate or control the sale of legalized beer. DENVER, Colo. Match 23 (#).— Thirsty _Coloradoans may have to forego their stein of beer or glass of wine until July 1. Sources close to Gov. Johnson said he would veto an emergency bill now before the Legislature to legalize 3.2 per cent beer and wines in advance of laws will be wiped from the Colorado statute books. The Governor was sald to doubt the constitutionality of the measure. INDIANAPOLIS, March 23 (A.— Hoosiers who drink beer in public places will have to order bologna, rye bread or other food with the beverage. The law passed by the Indiana Gen- eral Assembly at its recent session to legalize the manufacture and sale of beer surrounded sale of the beverage with many restrictions, among them one which provides it can be dispensed in public only in connection with the consumption of food.

BATON ROUGE, Lla., March 23 ) —The Louisiana House of Repre. sentatives amended the Wimberly bill late yesterday to provide $1 a barrel exclse tax on_ beer and.wine, with a 50 cents per barrel State , ANt to provide for an additional 50 cents & barrel license by parishes and cities. ‘The change in the bill's schedule was effected by unanimous adoption of five amendments offered by Representative Lorris Wimberly of Bienville, author of the measure, which as originally drawn provided a straight $2 per bar- rel State exclse tax. BOSTON, March 23 (#).—The Joint Legislative Committee on Legal Af- fairs today voted unanimously to report a bill to t the manufacture and bottling of 3.2 per cent beer in Massa- chusetts.

HARRISBURG, Pa., March 23 () — Pardons for all persons serving prison terms for the sale, manufacture and possession of beer were proposed by Representative Clinton A. Sowers, Phil- adelphia, in a resolution introduced in the House today. Sowers asked that the Board of Par- dons be petitioned to recommend tha the Governor pardon all such prisoners. He based his request upon the fact that the eighteenth amendment repealer has been submitted to the people and beer allowed by Congress. The resolution went over for printing. FREQUENT CLASHES MARK BALL TRIAL Prosecution Denies Implica- tion by Defense That Data Were Withheld. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, March 23.—Implications that a second audit to which they did not have access had been made, were made by defense counsel in the third day's session in the trial of E. Wade Ball, lunicipal | former county treasurer, in the County Court. These implications were denied by the prosecutor, Assistant Attorney Gen- eral Collins Denny, jr., and the trial, punctuated by frequent clashes between opposing counsel, droned on through a maze of figures testified to by Elmer 8. Newell, county auditor, and former member of the staff of the Virginia State auditor of accounts. Newell, surrounded by great stacks of account books, went into ccores of small items of county accounts which 50 far at the trial have not been con- nected with any of the alleged defal- cations of Mr. Ball Clash Over Checks. One of the clashes between Defense Counsel Prank L. Ball and Capt. Cran- dal Mackey and Prosecutor Denny in- volved all of the checks of the county treasurer’s office, held as evidence by the prosecution. Defense counsel de- manded that the jury not be allowed to inspect the checks. but after Denny had brought out that all requests for inspection of evidence on the part of the defense had previously been com- plied with by the commonwealth, the request was withdrawn. Newell explained during the testi- mony this morning the fee system under which the county treasurer's office worked. He said that during the last two years as county treasurer, Ball received up to & maximum of $7,000 as his part of the total fees collected. The remainder, he said, was used to defray expenses of the office and whatever might be left over after that was turned over to the State treasury, this latter |fund in turn being divided, one-third remaining in the State treasury and two-thirds returning to the county :reuurer for general county expendi- ure. the discussion of the alleged second audit and defense counsel's re- quest for an opportunity to examine all checks, Defense Counsel Ball again asked for specific items of misappropri- ation charged by the prosecution. This request also was withdrawn during the discussion and while the jury was not in the court room. e Repeal Convention Is Voted. NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 23 (#).— Testerdsy assed. & il proriding.

By the Associated Press. \Edward ‘B. Dunford, attorney for the Anti-Saloon League of America, said yesterday “an attack upon the (beer) law will certainly be made when the Tequisite circumstances arise.” He indicated that the Anti-Saloon League would no attempt to ob- d | tain an injunction to restrain issuance of licenses for sale of beer, but would | gh await the actual beginning of distribu- tion April 7. Meanwhile, however, Dr. Clarence True Wilson of the Methodist Episcopal Board of Temperance and Public Morals has said court proceedings would be filed to obtain an injunction. Wilson was not in the city yesterday and other dry leaders satd it was unknown yet where or in what shape this sction would be begun. > Attorneys said an injunction might be sought by a taxpayer to restrain the Commissioner of Industrial Six Points of Attack. Dunford, in a letter to the various State superintendents of the league, listed six points under which he said the constitutionality of the law could be at- tacked after sale is begun. They are as follows: “'1. The attorney general or other law officer of any dry State may file a peti- tion for an injunction to restrain a| common carrier or others from trans- | porting such beer through the State on the ground that it is a trgnsportation of intoxicating liquors prohibited by the eighteenth amendment. “2. Any wild-cat brewer indicted for manufacturing 3.2 per cent beer without A permit may defend on the ground that he has violated no law, since the act ex- pressly repeals the criminal penalties | for the manufacture and sale of beer containing not more than 3.2 per cent of alcohol by weight and that the pro- visions requiring that he shall obtain a permit from the Government before en- gaging in such manufacture is uncon- stitutional on the ground that such law undertakes to positively authorize the manufacture and sale of an intoxicating beer in violation of the eighteenth amendment. “3. In any one of the few States where the State definition prohibits | merely intoxicating beer, any State prosecuting officer may cause the arrest of a brewer authorized to manufacture beer under a Federal permit on the ground that the product is intoxicating, and where the brewer pleads the Fed- | eral permit as justification, the issue of the constitutionality of the Federal law would be presented. “4. Since the act provides that the beer may be manufactured only in ac- cordance with a permit issued under | the national prohibition act, which grants a privilege, any soft drink manu- facturer whose business is detrimentally affected by competition from the sale of beer manufactured by a permitee may file a suit to compel the commissioner of prohibition to revoke such permit or to enjoin the commissioner from issuing permits to breweries to manufacture beer on the ground that the conferring of such a privilege is violative of the eighteenth amendment, denies to him the equal protection of the law and de- prives him of his property without due proce=s, alleging that such beer is in- toxicating and that its sale detriment- ally affects his business. “5. Should it develop that public in- toxication results from the sale of such beer, any prosecuting officer. State or | national, may institute an acticn in a | court of equity for the abatement of the | brewery, saloon, grocery, speakeasy or | other place as & public nuisance where intoxicating liquors are sold in violation of the policy defined by the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States. “6.

Instead of a direct prohibition against the sale of beer to minors, it was agreed that the District Commission- ers should be given the broadest regu- latory powers, so that they could pre- vent the sale to minors, if they found abuses. ‘The conference also agreed to pro- vide in the bill for an investigation of places operating under both “on sale” or “off sale” licenses, and & provision permitting the brewer to sell to the consumer by obtaining an “off sale” license. One of the amendments would add bill holding that beer would not be considered an alcoholic liquor. These sections of the Sheppard law are 11 and 20, relating to drinking in public and driving a vehicle while under the influence of liquor. The rule was favorably reported late yesterday by the Rules Committee after Majority Leader Byrns had informed the House of his plan to call up the District beer measure without further delay. Section 14, according to Mrs. Norton, is broad in its scope. It reads: “The| Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia are hereby authorized to pro-| mulgate rules and regulations, not in-| consistent with law, for the issuance | of licenses, and for the operation of | all businesses by licenses.

Dr. Harlan warned against this, pointing out that only limited sec- tions of the United States have an oppo:ltfimity to grow malting barley suc- y. He said brewers require barley that has plump and mellow kernels and good hulls, well ripened before harvesting. It must be free from thresher damage diseased and moldy kernels. The six-rowed Manchuria and Oder- brucker types grown in the Upper Mis- sissippt Valley fill the requirements. Heavy, poorly-drained soils should not be planted to the crop. Best Barley States. The most favored malt barley-grow- ing regions are Western New York, Northern Dlinois and parts of Wiscon- &in, Minnesota, South Dakota.
