Receipt of the European trip, however, will be dependent upon the victor's actual competition in the na- tional finals. In other words, victory in The Star finals simply gives the con- testant a leg on the grand prize. The actual attainment of the trip is won only on participation in the nationat finals. NORTH DAKOTA DRY ACTS UPHELD BY HIGH COURT Enforcement Statutes Were Not Repealed by Voters, Ruling. Says Associated Press. Dak. April 22— ribition enforce- ective today By the BISMARC North Dakota’s p ment statutes were held by the State Supreme Cou It ruled that repeal of the constitu- tion prohibition provision by voters in the 1932 general election did not nullify the dry law enforcement acts. The issue came before the court after the arrcst of Christ Aipperspach of Jamestown on a charge of possessing beer. His counsel claimed the enforce- ment acts were repealed automatically when constitution provision was voted out. and asked a writ of habeas corpus which the high court denied.

So far as the language of the appropriation law for the $1,250,- 000 is concerned, it is belleved that it is liberal enough to enable the Board of Public Welfare to render assistance to a very much wider circle of persons if funds should be available. ‘The Federal relief bill (commonly known as the Wagner-La Follette-Cos- tigan bill) has passed the Senate and has been favorably reported to the House by the Committee on Banking and Currency, and may become a law within the next few days. This would probably afford immediate relief to the extent of $125,000 or $150,000, and, based on population, the District would be entitled altogether to an amount in excess of $2,000,000, dependent upon the demonstration of need therefor. “The community will also receive some relief for dependent young men from the terms of the reforestation meas- which is already a law. e Commissioners are of the opin- lon that the above indicated sources ' of relief give reasonable assurance that funds be available to meet all ab- solutely necessary demands.” SEAWAY POLL UNDERWAY Chairman Pittman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said to- day that consideration of the St. Law- rence waterway treaty at this session of Congress would cepepd upon the out- come of a poll being made of Republi- can Senators. Pittman said the poll on the Demo- cratic side, though not complete, indi- cated there would be 10 or 12 against consideration of the treaty at this ses- slop.
