Buckner Would Except
 Light Wines and Beers

New York, March 10 R-Federal Attorney Buckner last night in an address before members of the Life Underwriters association suggested q state prohibition enforcement act cxempting light wines ard beers, and criticized the drys for their opposi. tion 10 any referendum on prohibit tion.
 If the drys cannot get a whole loaf" he said, discussing state en- forcement. they should be glad to take four-fifths, Such q state law as l suggest would at least stem the tide of hard liquor. denatured al- cohol liquor, the poor mans poison liquor, which flows in the wake of non-c enforcement"
 MT. Buckner explained that such state law would in no way affect the Nolstead act in regard to beer and wine. Federal agents, he said, would continue to deal with persons handling wine and beer.

Chicago, March 10 Pl--Distanco radio reception forecasts not only are considered possible but data ob- taincd in unofficial tests made by Chicago experimcntcr indicate that each listener, with little study can be his own forecaster.
 Numerous factors were taken into consideration in making the lore casts. Prevailing weather conditions played a. large part, with the tenn perature being given the most thought. Presence of the aurora borealis also was noted, and 10 1t was attributed some of the poor re- captions,
 One feature was the fact that ex- treme cold seemed to have the oppo- site effect on reception than has been the general belief. Zero wealth. CT with clear skies developed the poorest nights. On cloudy, rainy or snowy nights conditions were rcvers- ed, with signals stronger and fading minor. Local static, however, was somewhat heavier but not of such character as to be disagreeahle.
 The Best Results
 The best reception periods were noted as coming with stabilized tenn perature. Either a falling or q ris- ing thermometer affected signals to such an extent that at times difficult ty was had ir logging an average number of stations. Predictions of reception based upon the tcmpera- ture nearly always could be relied upon.

 Regarding the slide pole and guard rail, Chairman John F. R.

"We have a cer- tain sum of money with which to build that house and we're not go- ing to take a penny from any other fund.-"

PERET IS LIKELY SOON
 TO CONSULT CHURCHILL
New French Finance Minister Anxious to Resume Discus
 sion of Debts

Paris, March 10 R)--Raoul Peret, the new French finance minister, said today that he expected to go to London as soon as possible, to con- fer with the British chancellor of the excheduer, Winston Churchill.
 (M. Doumer, who held the finance portfolio in the cabinet which re- signed last week, had planned a similar trip, with the object ot dis cussing the war debts).
 Andre Fallleres, son of the late President Fallieres, was confirmed today as under-secretary of the budget, while Mario Roustan was named under-secretary of merchant marine.
 The general opinion is that there Is very little difference between Briand's ninth cabinet and his eighth. NJ. Peret. the new finance minister, it is pointed out, is of about the same financial capacity as his predecessor, M. Doumer,, and come from about the same political circle, while the three radical minis ters who voted against the cabinet in the national debate are placed by 1 equally ardent radical partisans'
 The financial policy of the ne" cabinet is expected to follow closely that the last one, but with perhaps slightly different tactics. M' Peret it is thought, will propose that par ljament vote the measures intended to balance the budget separated! from those to finance the sinking fund. Time will thus be gained t' prevent the more important meas urcs whereby the debts will be pro yided for, thus protecting the fran against the vicissitudes of the dc
 bate.
