 g. Restore the use of the terms beer. ale and porter which ate now forbidden by the volstehd act to be used as designations for bevar- ages.
 4. Permit advertising of beer.
 5. Amend the Webb-Kenyon act which forbids the shipment of in- toxicating liquors into dry states so that this prohibition also applies to beer. This change would bc fiec- essary to protect states prohibiting sale of the new beer since other wise 1t would be legally non-intox- icating and therefore available for shipment anywhere.
 As to taxes, the present law pro- vides tax of $8 Q barrel The brewers would like to see 1t re- duced somewhat to encourage the start of the revived industry. They would oppose strongly increasing this figure on the ground that it would run up the price so as to re- strict sale while encouraging home brew and bootleg beer.

 SOhwarzkopf has kept his other trails q profound secret from all but a few associates. A half dozen of his crack troopers now work on the Lindbergh investigation exclu- siyely. Schwarzkopf devotes practi- cally all of his time to 1t.
 He is a West Point man, trained in the routine and the precise meth ods of the army. He is conducting his search methodically. examining every bit of evidence no matter how insignificant 1t appears, follow ing every trail until it is exhausted. The written reports already fill a half dozen filing cabinets.
 On Schwarzkopf's success will hang the fortunes of Governor A. Harry Moore, many political ob- servers believe. Should Schwartz kopf fail, Moore's political oppo- nents will make capital of that fail ure in the next gubernatorial race Schwarzkopf's own fortune as head of the state police. also is in the balance. Observers believed his chances for re-uppointment = or should Moore re-appoint him, con- firmation in the egislature-were practically non existence should be fail to solve the case.

 Britain is due to pay $65, 5,500,00O in interest and $30,000,000 on the principal of its debt. Only congress can grant a postponement in pay ments of interest. But the f'o',t agreement provides that F ! may delay principal payni, ...s merely by giving 90 days notice to the U. s. treasury.
 The time limit for this notice ex- pired September Is. The treasury, however. has the right to waive the notice requirement without action by congress. It did so recently in the case of German payment.
 The British ambassador, Sir Ron- aid Lindsay, conferred with Secre- tary of Treasury Mills for an hour yesterday and is believed to have sought to learn whether the treasury would be willing to waive the notice on Britain's payment.
 It was expected Britain would await reaction to its forthcoming second plea for postponenient of the entire instalimeiit before ad- vancing formally any partial pay ment plan.
