{E EVENING ‘STAR, WASH BISTRICT BEER BILL "~ PASSED BY SENATE Amendment Prohibiting Sale in Cafes in Government Buildings Voted.

Solicitors Questioned. | During the explanation Senator | Tydings of the permit system carried | in the bill, Senator Norris of Nebraska questioned the need of having solicitors for the sale of besr licensed. Senater Tydings sald that the purpose was {o control as far as possible the | beer from producer to consume: He | said that if solicitors for the sale of beer were permitted to sell from house to house without havi first been li- | censed, violations of the law might easily follow. He said that solicitors ‘who did not represent brewers and di: pensers properly licensed might under- take to sell fraudulently “Why not let the people who wich to buy beer go themselves to those 1 censed places where it is to be sold? asked Senator Norris. “We do not want a huge number of peddlers going from house to house| trying to sell beer. Senator Tydings replied that if the solicitors were nct licensed there prob- | ably would be a much larg making house-to-house the cale of beer. “In the good old days,” s ve didn’t have that trouble and | I don’t see why it should be necessary to have beer peddled through solicitors at the home like a lot of book agents.” Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, pointed out that if the solicitors are not licensed, boot- leggers of beer could more easily solicit buyers of their product made in viola- tion of the law. Senator Tydings told the Senate that the provision for the licensing of solic- itors at $1 per year had been approved by the opponents as well as the sup- porters of the beer bill during its con- sideration in the District Committee. Senator Couzens, Republican, of Michigan objected to the Senate Com- mittee provisions which would allow barbecue stands to serve beer to cus- tomers in automobiles parked on the E:Emis:.s_ because, he said, it would not possible to tell the age of persons under the circumstances. He said he did not sec how a ‘proprietor could tell the age of persons when four or five individuals are sitting in an automobile and that therefore this provision would be inconsistent with the ban inst selling beer to persons under 18. nator Johnscn, Republican, of Cali- fornia, wanted to know upen what theory wine was included along with beer with a definition of 3.2 per cent alcohol. “There isn’t any such thing s 3.2 per cent wine,” Senator Johnson declares “It is absurd and cbjectionable to tho engeged in grape culture in California. Senator Tyding: said the only pur- pese of the District Committee was to make the local bill conform as nearly as possible to the national bill, in which the word wine was includsd. Senator Johnson pointed out that the grape growers want a separate bill, | which is pending in the House, and which he said fixes 10 per cent as the | content: for wine. Replying to Couzens’ objection to! serving beer to customers in automo- biles, Senator Tydings said he did not feel that he could change this provision as spokesman for the committee, but said he recognized the point of objec- tion raised by Senator Couzens. Senator Johnson said “I would like to | strike out of this bill the provision re- lating to the manufacture and sale of wine.” He said that a bill he hoped would be passed by the House later permitted the manufacture and sale of wine of such an alcoholic content as could be prop- erly manufactured. Senator Tydings replied that when such a wine bill came to the Senate from the House he would be glad to make provision by law for the sale of the wine in the District. “But as long as we have a national law permitting the manufacture and sale of 3.2 per cent wine,” continued Senator Tydings, “I hope the Senator from California will not press his cb- jection to the pending bill.” Senator Johnson said he was glad to hear the . statement made by Mr. ‘Tydings that when a House wine nill came to the Senate he would undertake and licensin, T bill before a joint session of the State Senate and Assembly. York lawmakers have been unable to agree on beer legislation. man’s bill, known as the Dunnigan-Steingut bill, provides for a State board of five members with authority to handle all liquor control AR ON ALL JEWS New Leh- —A. P. Photo. d t eighteenth amendment ting bev-| erages, wh for cdults or children. Attack by Sheppard. Senator Sheppard in his attack on the beer bill said: “Any nation that legalizes a brewery, alcoholic liquors, writes its own moral death warrant.” He pictured alcohol as the “scourge of the human race.” “Prohibition,” declared Senator Shep- pard, “is worthy to live for and die for.’ He added that apparently the wets think a new national anthem should be written, entitled “O, Hand Me Down ‘That Bottle of Corn.” He said that the wets apparently believe that the rights mentioned in the Constitution are “right to get drunk, stay drunk and die drunk.” ‘These same wets, he continued, claim that every ill in the country has been due to prohibition, from “sprained ankles and chicken pox to carbuncles and gal- loping consumpticn.” He predicted that wherever liquor is sold a semblance of tne old saloon will be found. At the conclusion of Senator Shep- pard’s spcech the Senate adopted viva voce the District Committee’s substitute for the House beer bill. Senator Capper of Kansas, a dry, took the flcor and denounced the beer bill. Gore Offers Amendment. Senator Gore, Democrat, of Okla- homa offered an amendment to pro- hibit the sale of bzer at restaurants in the Capitol and other buildings owned or leased by the Federal Government. Only a few Senators were in the cham- ber while a standing vote was being taken on the amendment, and Senator Long, Democrat, of Louisiana, tried to suggest the absence of a quorum, which was ruled not in order while a vote was in progress. A controversy developed however, when announcement was made the amendment had been rejected, and 2 ouorum then was called for. Fol- lowing the quorum call it was decided to have a record vote on the Gore amendment. Before the amendment was voted on, Senator Tydings urged the Senate not to adopt it, pointing out that the Sen- ate itself could decide through the Rules Committee whether beer should or should not be sold in its restaurant, and that each cabinet officer could de- cide whether it should be served in cafeterias in Government buildings. He said it would be inconsistent to adopt this amendment and then vot: for the bill on the ground that it authorizes | non-intoxicating beverages. Senator Sheppard pointed out that in 1902, 20 years before prohibition, Con- gress prohibited the serving of liquor in the Capitol Building. Senator Huey Long replied: “This is not liquor.” The Gore amendment was adopted on a roll call vote, /4 to 28. ‘The House bill providel for three kinds of license, “on sale,” “off sale” and “manufacturer.” The Senate com- mittee added two other forms, one for whoiesale distributors and one for per- sons employed to solicit orders for beer. the necessary legislation to carry out its provisions herex s Senator Vandenburg of Michigan asked whether the District Committee had considered whether failure of the pending bill to pass would bring about &n oppertunity for the uncentrolled sale of beer in Washington. Tydings Believes in Legality. Senator Tydings said that the com- mittee had gone into that question and that Corporation Counsel William W. Bride expressed the opinion that the national beer law would make the sale of 3.2 per cent beer legal in Washing- ton if no further legislation were pasced. Other attorneys, Senator Tyd- ings said, took the other position. “We thought-it wise, in case the cor- ration counsel should ‘be correct in opinion, to put through the pend- ing legislation,” said Senator Tydings. “The committee decided to throw | every safeguard possible around the sale of beer in the District. We believe that this 1s the strictest bill for the sale of beer presented in the United States. Senator Tydings said the committee bad no further amendments to offer. Wailsh Offers Amendment. At this point Senator Walsh of Massachusetts offered an amendment to make it possible to sell be: stores and delicatessen | food is served.

After the quorum call there was no demand for & record vote on the Walsh amendment, and it was, therefore, de- feated on the previous viva voce vote. Senator Sheppard, Demoerat, of Texas, author of the bill which made ‘Washington dry in 1917, several years betore natiomal prohibition took effect, voiced his protest against the passage of this beer bill. - He described it as un- constitutional and said that all of the objections he raised against the na- taken home. I rhe ell the beer, particularly as | Under both bills the “on sale” license would cost $100 a year and would be for places where beer may be consumed | on the premises. The Senate commit- tee breadened the definition of this license. In its present form the “on sale” license could be issued to bona fide Testaurants or hotels or incorporated clubs charging annual dues of at least $6. In the House bill clubs were re- stricted to those having annual dues of $15. In the case of restaurants, the beer weuld have to be sold at public tables. One Senate committee change would give the Commissioners discretionary power to permit the beverages to be served at private tables or in private rooms for assemblages of more than six persons. The Senate committee also would permit barbecue stands to serve beer to customers in their auto- mobiles, provided the parking space is off the public street. Another Sen- ate committee amendment would pro- hibit the issuance of an ‘“on sale” licerse to any restaurant which has not been established and doing business for at least six months prior to ap- plication.

Meanwhile the District Beer License | Board plunged into the work of prepar- for the expected legalization of the | ale and consumption of beer and indi- | cations were that beer would not be on | sale here by next Friday, the date pro- | vided in the National bill. F.om the first study of the necessary preliminary work that must be done, Jernon E. West, assistant corporation counsel, who is chairman of the licens- ing board. said today it appeared the edministrative preparations were so great they could not be accomplished in the brief time that will remain be- tween final acticn on the bill by Con- gress. Much of the regulatory and adminis- trative work cannot be done prior to final enactment of the measure. it was explained. The House has adjourned until next Monday and prospects for action on the bill before next Wednes- day do not seem bright to the inter- ested officials. 648 Applications Filed. A total of 648 applications for licenses have been filed at the District Building and the number has been growing tional beer bill recently apply with equal force against this bill. Senator Sheppard said that Senator Tydings virtually admitted the pending bill is unconstitutional when Tydings i earlier in the day said he thought it steadily with each mail delivery. The board consists of Capt. Hugh P. Oram, District director of inspection Wade H. Coombs, superintendent of li- censes, and Inspector L. I. H. Edwards, assistant superintendent of police, in child of 9 or 10 years. ‘ addition to Mr. West. Members of the id tr | board at a |a small State tax on barrelage with | lengthy conferenca today mapped out tentative plans for forms of licenses and applications and dis- cussed policies concerning those who might be licensed under the bill, the relation of the beer legislation to zon- ing, and the questions of inspection of licensed places as to police and health regulations. One member this morning was of the opinion licenses should not be granted to any applicant until all those who are found to be eligible could be granted licenses at the same time. A large number of the applications so far received could not be granted, it was explained, since they are not eligible under provisions of the beer bill as it now stands. A large number of the applications were received from opera- tors of drug stores, delicatessen and grocery stores. Drug stores would not be permitied to serve beer on the premises unless the Walsh amendment to the beer bill were adopted and then only if such stores operated on a restaurant license, it was explained. The bill as reported by Senator Tydings would limit the sale of beer by the glass for consumption on store premises to those places used for the sale and serving of food at tables as the primary business. RITCHIE SUSTAINS BEER BILL ATTACK Governor Agrees That Pro- posed Baltimore License Fee Is Too High. 1 Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, March 31.—Gov. Al-| bert C. Ritchie, commenting on the Baltimore beer bill in a letter to City Councilman Sydney R. Traub yester- day said: ! “I believe the license fee in the city | bill has been reduced to $150, and I quite agree with you in thinking that | too high, There are many other pro- | visions in the bil which, to my m\nd,i are very unfortunate.” i Rights for women when beer returns form just one of the causes in a single- handed lobby Mrs. William Bauern- schmidt, of this city started in the Legislature Wednesday night. Fights for Women's Freedom. Complete freedom for women to enter ! any beer dispensary, with no dispen- saries to be permitted if women are barred, is one of the points in Mrs. Bauernschimidt's program. A woman member on any license or supervising board is another point. Others are: Home rule for Baltimore, a ban on participation of brewers in retail distribution, a $50 license fee and Tevenues reverting to counties and com- munities permitting the sale of beer. Favors Women on Boards. Gov. Ritche has assured her, Mrs, Bauernschmidt said, that he knew of | no reason why a woman should not be | appointed to any license boards. Mrs. Bauernschimidt said: “My husband was a brewer and I know all about the beer and liquor | business. The Legislature so far has acted as though they were licensing hard liquor. We said that beer was| harmless. Were we sincere when we | said that? If we were sincere, then we ought to treat beer as harmless.” Fire at Houston Hotel. Fire in a tenth-floor room -at the | Houston Hotel early today caused about $300 damage before it was extinguished by hotel employes ana firemen. The blaze started after a guest dropped a lighted cigarette on a mattress. Guests on other floors of the hotel were not disturbed and the fine was confined to one room. | EISEMAN’S SEVENTH & F STS.

A Nazi economic theory is hostile to chain stores of all kinds, holding that such large organi- zations ruin cmall dealers.

(American investors have $27,000,000 invested in various chain stores and Jewish-owned depart- ment stores in Germany.) United States Consulate Acts. Prompt action by the American con- sulate has resulteq in the expulsion of onc Nazi storm trooper from the party and a sharp reprimand to two others. The action arose from another as- | sault on Julian Fuhs of New York, who wes beaten March 12 by men in Nazi uniforms, who demanded money. A storm trcop leader interfered af that time and gave an alarm to the police. - Uniformed Nazis and civillans en- tered Fuhs' night club early Wednes- | day morning. When Fuhs asked to see their membership cards one of the civilians assaulted bim, while one of the uniformed Nazis threatened him with a pistol 2nd fired shots into the ceiling. The civilian indicated he had a private grudge against the night club cwner. Police took the assailant to a police station. The same day George S. Messersmith, United States consul gen- eral, complained to police authorities, who expressed deepest regret. The pistol-wielding storm trooper was held for trial in Summary Court. The civilian, nct a Nazi, also was held. American officials expressed satisfac- | tion at the prompt and energetic police action.

In all, there are about 150,000 mem- bers of the “Schutzbund” in Austria, with hidden stores of arms which the government presumably now will at- tempt to find and confiscate.

SEEKS TO ALLAY AGITATION. S. Jewish Group Denies Boyeott Plea | By ‘Any Responsible Body.’ | NEW YORK, March 31 (#).—The/ American Jewish Committee, of which | Dr. Cyrus Adler of Philadelphia is presi- dent, declared in a cable to Berlin last | night that it was “doing all in power to allay agitation” against the Hitler gov- | ernment here and that “no responsible U | body” has suggested a German boycott. The cablegram was in reply to one re- ceived from Oscar Wasserman of the | Deutsche Bank, Berlin, which read: “There is no doubt that threatened boycott against all Jews will be carried through with full severity if somewhere | protest meetings would be held or boy- | cott of German goods be recommended | by Jews or with Jewish assistance. As| German Jews are faced with utmost | poverty and distress if Jews in foreign countries continue to interfere, I request your help as far as you can and should | be thankful for a reply.” | Dr. Adler sent the following reply: | “American Jewish Committee, of | which I am president, has taken no part in protest meetings. No respon- sible body in America has suggested boycott. ‘We have been and are doing all in power to allay agitation.” Ernst Wallach, vice president .of the Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith, issued a statement as he railed for Germany saying the proposed Jewish boycott there was “an only too natural reaction on what is regarded * * * as interference with Germany’s domestic affairs.” “Continuation of a protest campaign, | as that resulting from the Madison Square Garden demonstration,” the statement said, “will lead to an ever greater tension of public opinion in both countries with ever stronger re- | actions in the domain of policy and psychology.

ACTION FOR JEWS PLANNED Good Offices to Be Used With Hitler in Effort to Com- bat Boycoit. By the Associated Press. | More than ever the personality and philcsophy of Adolph Hitler held the| attention of Americans today cn the| eve of a nation-wice doycott of Jews | | | in Germany. While the State Department sought | to use its good offices in a quiet way to avert the impending economic war, thcse who have followed the strange | career of the young Austrian, who has become Germany’s dictator, found in | | his autobicgraphy and the platform of | his National Socinlist party many in- | dications of the strong anti-Jewish fecl- | ing which is finding its expression now. | Those who have rcad Hitler’s life story, which he wrote in a Bavarian prison in 1924 after the so-called “beer- | ball putsc Munich, say his anti- | Semitism is the outstanding feature of | his own philosophy. Prominent American Jews, headed by | Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, made a second | visit to the State Department yester- | | day in ccnnection with the troubles of | the Jews in Germany. While officials declined to say wheth- | er_any diplomatic_action was _being because we’re going to sell ’em now, when you want ’em ~ instead of waiting until the end of the season.

Hitler since early in his career has | been bitterly opposed to sccialism. Many Socialist leaders with whom he came into contact were Jews and there- fore, some here say, the whole Socialist movement became to Hitler a plot of international Jews to gain ccntrol. Hitler and his followers, opposing in viclent oratory the reparations pay- ment provided by the Versailles treaty, have accused the Jews of placing this | burden on the German people. To them the Jews are responsible for varicus others of their country’s ills, although just how is not explained for ' states. _ In the Hitler progra his lieutenant, Gottfr} 3 it was set forth that no Ji ber of the German people, that those who are not citizens y live in Ger- many cnly as a guest and that if It is tion of the state! non-citizens must be expelled from the reich. Earlier in the day Undersecretary Phillips received the German Ambas- sador, Priederich W. von Prittwitz und Gaffron, and his counselor of embassy, Rudolf Leitner. ‘While the ostensible purpese of the visit was to introduce Leitner, who will be in charge cf the cmbassy temporarily when Prittwitz, who has resigned, leaves Washington, opportunity was to acquaint the German go formally with the attitude of the United slim 450 Double Crown - Saxony Worsteds step oui for the first time at 20 with two trousers No Sir!
