PRESIDENT MAY GO TO FLORIDA
FOR BRIEF CHRISTMAS VACATION
Trip Would Cancel Historic New Year Day Reception
at White House.

President Hoover was reported today
to be considering a Christmas vacation
trip to Florida, but has not decided
definitely upon such journey.
The tentative plan under consider
alton at the White House is for the
President to leave the Capital just be-
fore, or just after. Christmas for brief
stay in Florida. The spot he would visit
has not yet been finally determined.
The Chief Executive is holding final
decision as to the trip in allegiance
pending action by Congress before its
Christmas recess.
Should something arise in legislative
or governmental affairs that he feels
would require his presence in the Capt.
tai the trip would not be made.
Should he finally decide to go, how
ever, there were indications today that
he might spend New Year day In the
South, canceling the historic New Year
day reception at the White House.
On this occasion the general public is
invited in to meet'the Chief Executive

COLLIER SEES GAIN
FOR BEER MEASURE
Witnesses Tell Committee
Plan Would Give New Life
to Many Industries.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Strength for approval of beer bill
is believed by Chairman Collier to exist
in the House Ways and Means Com
mittee
That view was expressed by him to-
day with continuation of testimony by
beer advocates that legalization of the
brew would mean capital investments
of millions and vitalize many industries
Looking to early action, Collier told
newspaper men that although he had
not made committee poll, from sur
face indications imagine we will be
able to report out bill"
Secretary Mills" he said, has ac-
cepted the committees invitation to
give all the information the Treasury
has on the proposal. He will appear
tomorrow as the first witness and I
imagine he will discuss the financial
phase of the subject.
Many Witnesses Heard.
Previously the Treasury Department
declined to send representatives TO the
hearings, informing Collier it had not
made a study of beer legislation.
A parade of witnesses today said
legalization of beer would pour millions
into industry and provide employment
for thousands of workers now idle.
The group included representatives Of
the Associated Cooperage Industries, the
Mack k-International Motor Truck Corp
grafton, numerous hotel and restaurant
and associated organizations, 1.-The Com
mittee on Industrial Rehabilitation" the
National Electric Manufacturers Asso-
citation of New York, the Owen-Illinois
Glass Co., Metal Trade Journals and
the Associated Producers OF Cereal
Beverages.
A new suggestion was volunteered by
Representative Amlie, Republican. of
Wisconsin to the effect that each State
be allowed to fix its own alcoholic con-
tent, instead of having it fixed at 2.75
per cent, as the Collier bill does, or at
80 per cent, as many witnesses for
brewing interests have advocated.
No action was taken. however, and

and in the past Presidents have shaken
hands with 5000 or 5000 people on that
day
If the reception is abandoned, it would
be the first time since January /, 1929,
when President and Mrs. Coolidge were
away from the city on holiday visit
at Sapelo Island, of the coast Of
Georgia.
The vacation under consideration
would be the first real one for Mr.. Hoo
yer in nearly two years. The last oc-
casion was when he visited Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands, which kept him
away from Washington for nearly two
weeks.
During the Winter Of 1890 President
Hoover, with Mrs. Hoover and party
of friends, went to Long Key, near the
southern tip of Florida, where for nearly
two weeks he rested and fished in the
Gulf stream. He also went to Miami
Beach, Fla, for a months visit just
prior to his Inauguration four years ago.
During that stay in Florida the Presi-
dent motored across the State and
visited the late Thomas A. Edison at his
Winter home at Fort Myers, on the
west coast.

League Turns Matter Over
to Cancellation Unit for
Quick Report.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, December 9-The League
Of Nations Assembly, closing an eventful
debate on the Manchurisn situation
voted today to refer that issue to the
Cancellation Committee of 19 with a
request that the committee report as
soon as possible on proposals. by the
Assembly for settlement.
The Lytton report, the record Of the
discussions in the Assembly and al
pertinent documents were passed en- tc
the committee without comment, and
thus the clash over a resolution by four
small nations condemning Japan's Man.
churian policy was avoided.
This procedure was regarded as a
success for Japan and for a pclicy OF
conciliation with the support of the
big powers.
Among the several proposals referred
to the committee was that for inviting
the United States and Soviet Russia
to participate in the work of con-
ciliation.
Then the Assembly adjourned indefi-
nitely The committee Of 10 may meet
Monday.
Defending the Japanese policy, Yosuke
Matsuoka told the Assembly yesterday
that the japanese people are so sure OF
the righteousness of their cause they
are prepared to support it in the face of
the severest penalties provided by the
League covenant.
The Toxic delegate made this state
ment after he had protested vigorously
against the resolution which proposed
to condemn Japan's military activities
in Manchuria as incompatible with ex-
isting international treaties.
Representatives of Spain, the Irish
Free State, Sweden and Czechoslovakia
had presented the resolution, which as
serted that Japan had not acted in
legitimate self-defense in Manchuria,
that the establishment of the State of
Manchukuo violated existing treaties,
and that an international body, with
the United States and Russia partici-
pating, should attempt to effect con-
ciliatory settlement.

Delegation Sees Byrns to
Protest FurIough and II
Per Cent Proposal.
CLERKS MASS MEETING
TO MAP ORGANIZED WAR
Pressure Will Be Brought on Con-
gress Members by Means
of kilograms.

Pleading on behalf of the Government
employees and the organized workers Of
the country against the economy act,
including the furlough and the IL
per cent cut in salaries recommended
by President Hoover in his message to
Congress, a delegation of American
Federation of Labor officials appeared
before Chairman Byrns Of the House Ap-
propriations Committee today. Speak
ing on behalf Of los national and
international unions, Frank Morrison,
secretary of the federation, urged that
the pay cut should not be included in
the appropriation bill.
Chairman Byrns pointed out that
the subcommittee will meet tomorrow
morning at $50 and the full committee
at 10 o'clock, when they expect to re-
port out the first of the big appropria-
ton bills, that for the Treasury-Post
Office Department. He intimated that
the 81, per cent reduction, under the
furlough plan, Is included in the bill
as 1t has been drafted, but that the
further II per cent cut recommended
by the President would not be included.
Mr.. Byrns pointed out that the Pres
ident should have deducted the amount
that would be saved by such reduction
from the total appropriations asked,
but that this was not done In the
budget, which contained only the bald
recommendation, and that special leg
islation would have to be passed before
the further slashing Of Government
salaries would be made.

Developments in Europe indicate that

There was no fat statement from
an official quarter either in London or

the most practical method of payment.
An official statement in London said
this matter will be considered at q

Prime Minister Macdonald returns
from the disarmament meeting at Ge-

In Paris the minister of finance ad-
vised the Foreign Affairs Committee

ment is disposed to pay with the under
standing that this will be the last pay
ment, pending reconsideration of the
entire debt structure. The French pre-
