English Beer
Tax Opposed

LONDON, April %. U.P)-Great
Britain faced the unprecedented
possibility of a beer strike" today
as a protest against the govern
ment's extra tax of a penny a pint

tax which threatened to kill the
measure in the committee stage of
the chancellor's finance bill.

ROOSEVELT SURE
OF PENNSYLVANIA
DELEGATES VOTE
By JOSEPH S. WASNEY
United Press Staff Correspondent


PHILADELPHIA, April %. -
There will be at least SO of Penn
sylvania's rs delegates to the DEM
ocratic national convention pledged
to the candidacy of Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt of New York, tabu-
lations of the Democratic presiden-
tial primary indicated today.
The total may go to so as a re-
suit of Roosevelt's victory over AL
fred E. Smith. Today Roosevelt
managers conceded IL delegates to
Smith. Supporters of Smith, how
ever, contended they would have a
total of 20 delegates when the tab
ulation of the vote is completed.
Results of the voting still are in
doubt on 81 of the SO district dele
gates.
With 2245 of the 8181 election
districts still unreported, Roose-
welt had a lead of 10000 over
Smith in the popular vote. The
count stood: Roosevelt 93,515;
Smith, 73,490.
There are 16 Democratic dele
gates at large-each with one-half
vote. Roosevelt has won Is of
them, giving him 71a votes. The
other half vote is uninstructed.
Of the 81 district delegates elec-
tions, in which the vote has been
completed, Roosevelt has won 25
and Smith IL.
In the districts in which dele
gate elections still are in doubt,
even Smiths most enthusiastic
supporters say he cannot get more
than eight delegates, bringing his
total to 20. That would leave ap-
proximately Sc delegates for Roose-
welt.

WASHINGTON, April %. (UP)-
Senator Bingham (Rep) Connecti-
cut, emerged from the senate fin
ance committee today and said coal
and oil tariffs had been stricken
from the tax bill.
The committee acted after an
hour of bitter, angry discussion, the
sound of which was audible in the
hall outside the committee room.
The coal tariff approved by the
house was So per ton and would
have raised $5OO,000 The tax on
fuel oil and imported gasoline was
one cent gallon and the treasury
estimated revenue at $5,000,000.
The house ways and means COM
mittee estimated oil and gasoline
tariffs would produce $25 900 900.
II the committee stands by the
decision announced by Bingham,
there will be precipitated on the
senate floor a fight of proportions
calculated to force the senate into
a summer session with long delay
for the revenue measure. Oil
states senators, especially Senator
Thomas Dem.) Oklahoma, have
repeatedly threatened to prolong
the session if their tariff demands
are blocked.
The committee next voted a tie
on motion to include a copper
tariff and by the rules of procedure
the motion lost.
AS Senator Costigan (Dem.) Col
orado, left the room, he said:
"They knocked out all the tar
ifs"
WASHINGTON, April 28. U.P)-
The Democratic leadership of the
house announced it's intention to-
day to force separate record vote
on each amendment to the economy
: bill which makes and material
change in the measure.
Speaker Garner said such a
course was designed to "put the
members feet to the fire in the
matter of economy"
Before galleries crowded with
government clerks whose wages
were at stake, the house last night
by 173 to 148 raised from $1,000
to $2500 the exemption from the II
per cent pay cut proposed by its
economy committee. Then by a
vote of 1876 to 81 it approved the
salary reduction section of the bill.
The IL per cent cut with only
$1,000 exempted was the heart of
the economy measure. The COM
mittee counted on it for $67,302,-
900 of the $2OO,0OOO0O total savings
in the bill. The increase in ex-
emption reduced to $12,000,000 the
savings to be made by pay cuts.
A proposal to eliminate Saturday
half holidays was to be voted on
today. 1t is under heavy attack
and if defeated would cut another
SO 100000 from the savings in the
bill. Proposed consolidation of the
war and navy departments, es-
timated to save $50,000,000 or more,
is conceded little chance for pas
sage. Sharp controversy also has
developed around the proposed
S48000,0O0 curtailment in veterans
benefits.

RECREATION is

FOR COMMUNITY
Every Child Should Have
Proper Amount of Play
; time, Says GeckIer.

Recreational agencies that keep
children BEAUTIFULLY and construc
lively occupied, remove sources Of
mischief and keep boys and girls out
OF Juvenile court.
This opinion is expressed by
Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler,
who believes that every child should
nave the proper amount Of play
time.
Recreation is the best form Of
social insurance and should be safe
guarded for the community's good
IN times such as these" Geckler de-
clared.
More Recreation Needed
Geckler said the Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts and such agencies keep
children out of trouble"
His regret is that the under
privileged children of the city,
growing up in undesirable neighbor-
hoods, do not have enough recrea-
tional clubs.
S SiAiC ID uDL BOOu lOT chill
dren. After they have done neces-
sary work at home they should have
period of play to aid in their nor
NAL development.
1t seems to me children should
have enough playtime to revive
their spirits and keep them inter-
ested in wholesome things"
Urges Closer Cooperation
A solution of the recreational
problem in undesirable neighbor-
moods, Geckler suggests closer CO.
operation with settlement houses.
In times such as the present
with the consequent stress and
strain, the need for recreational
agencies is all the greater"
Geckler asserted the newly organ
ized Leisure Hour Clubs of the citv
would do much to prevent crime
among youth.
