Brewers Say They Depend on Action

NEW YORK, September % LP).-
The United States Brewers Associa-
ton, in conference here today, issued
formal denial TO reports that the
association and the Anti-Saloon
League would get together today TO
discuss a compromise on modification
of the Nolstead act.
Hugh F. Fox, secretary Of the as
sociation, said that no meeting had
been called on the subject. but that
published reports Of the matter would
be considered at an executive session
tomorrow. II individual members
plan meeting with Ani-Saloon
League leaders, he said, 1t was purely
as a private enterprise.
In his statement MI. Fox said:
Informal conversations between
Mr.. Wayne e. Wheeler and other
attorneys or their clients may afford
the basis for interesting rumors, but
they are quite unimportant. When,
yielding to the pressure or public
sentiment. the executive board of the
Anti-Saloon League is willing TO have
the Nolstead act modified 1t will be
time to take Mr.. Wheeler and his
associates seriously.
The United States Brewers Asso-
citation is firmly convinced that beer
will come back; good. palatable light
lager beer. such as the ~ per cent
article which was so popular during
the war. We believe that il VIII come
back in response to a general demand;
not because OF anything that the
brewers may do, nor by the favor
of the Anti-Saloon League. Eventual
" we believe that the temperance
sentiment OF the country will not
only acquiesce in the modification OF
the Eolstead act but that the senti-
ment will be found supporting the
demand for il"
Mr.. Fox asserted that brewers would
comply strictly with restrictions on
alcoholic content that might be i'm
posed. During the war, he said, there
was no complaint that they exceeded
the az per cent limit.

WILBUR FIGHTS TO KEEP NAVY
FRONT SOLID In INVESTIGATION
Determined That Nothing Be Said to Cause Removal
of Aviation Control, Secretary Leaps to Aid
of Officers Questioned

Secretary Wilbur Ia in fighting
mood over the latest attempt to take
from the custody of the Navy its
most recently adopted child, surnamed
Aviation. He is determined that If
a unified air service is to come, ii
will not be on the recommenda ton
of any statements from naval officers
Opposed It the outset TO an investi-
cation, Mr.. Wilbur spent more than
an hour before the Presidents board
OF inquiry yesterday morning and
openly coached the ranking officers
who followed him on the stand.
AS a result the Navy presented a
solid front in opposition to any change
in the present administration of avia-
tion. particularly as it regards the
Naval Air Service. Rear Admiral
Eberle, Rear Admiral Strauss. Rear
Admiral Moffett and other high on
GERS unqualifiedly supported his de-
mand that the problems of naval avia-
ton be left to the Navy to solve.
Testimony Shaken.
But toward the close of the hear
Ing yesterday Secretary Wilbur and
his forces stumbled over an unex-
pected obstacle in the shape of severe
cross-examination. 1t was then, with
some OF the officers obviously discon-
certed by the pointed questions that
were hurled at them from members
of the board, that Secretary Wilbur
assumed personal command OF the
verbal defenses.
Time and again Admiral Moffett
was asked questions that worried Mr.
Wilbur SO acutely that he leaped UP
and answered them himself, ofYerfne
statistics to substantiate his state
ments. Once Admiral Moffett recon-
mended a change that apparently &C
irritated Mr.. Wilbur and Admiral
Eberle that the latter took the stand
at the conclusion of the cross-exami
nation and endeavored to correct the
statement.
Earlier testimony had shown that
the personnel of the Naval Air Service
is picked by officers who know how to
navigate a battleship but are ignorant
of the operations of a seaplane. II
had also been shown that "aviators
are born, not made" As a result
Senator Bingham sought to learn what
Admiral Moffett, chief Of the Bureau
of Aeronautics, thought of non-fying
officers selecting and controlling the
flying personnel.
