CHICAGO, Nov. % G.N.S0.
An organized campaign to give
America nickel-a-glaSs beer by
Christmas was under way today,
sponsored by the Associated Pro
ducers of Cereal Beverages at q
meeting here. The organization
embraces As breweries with an
estimated capitalization of $780,
100000.
Three proposals were adopted
at the meeting: Cd to work for
adoption of 2.75 per cent beer as
the legal standard; co to urge
Congress to set Sc a barrel as the
Federal tax, and 80 to prevent
the return of saloons.
George P. McCabe. of Washing.
ton, D. c.. attorney for the as
sociation, declared the $6 tax
would keep beer within the reach
of the public and effectively
thwart gangsters in any efforts
to foist their products on re-
tailerS.
The organizations president,
William L. Goetz, of st. Joseph
Mo-, declared the 2.75 per cent
standard was agreed upon because
it's Misunderstanding nature will
prevent the Anti-Saloon League OF
any other dry organization from
obtaining an adverse Supreme
Court ruling on constitutional
grounds.

George Expresses Hope for
Disarmament Sessions
and Indian Peace

LONDON, Nov. %. U.N. s.
With pomp and pageantry, King
George, accompanied by Queen
Mary and the Prince of Wales,
today opened the second session
of the eighth parliament of his
reign.
From his throne in the midst
of a brilliant assembly in the
House of Lords, the King read
his speech formally calling the
new parliament into being and
outlining the program Of his min
listers for the new session.
Avoids War Debt
Contrary to expectations, the
speech carefully avoided any ii.
rect reference to the war debt
situation. The King said:
'The conference for reduc-
tiOn and limitation of arnla-
ments now sitting at Geneva
embOdieS the hope and effort
Of mankind to reach the great
est measure Of general diSarIn.
ament that can be attained"
The king expressed hope deci.
sions Of great moment to the en-
pire would develop from the In,
dian round table conference.
He also pointed out that, despite
the success Of the recent loan con.
versions, careful supervision of
governmental expenditures contin.
ued to be necessary. Regarding un.
employment, the king said:
Unemployment continues to
cause me great anxiety. 1t is
undoubtedly the greatest Of our
social evils"
Cheered by Thousands

the sovereign and his queen as

Europeans Hopes
Low on ParIey Here

Just where the conference be-
tween President Hoover and Presi'
dent-elect Roosevelt will be held
late this afternoon was uncertain
today after previous plans to have
1t in the Lincoln study were
changed.
A White House secretary an
nounced this morning that the
President and his successor will
not meet in the Lincoln study,
but in one of the more formal
rooms-the Red, Blue or Green
Room-on the first floor.
The anxious eyes of Europe
were turned today on the White
House, where President Hoover
will confer with PreSident-elecG
Roosevelt on international debts,
disarmament and world eco
nomicS.
EurOpe's Hopes Low
Little in the way Of aid or
comfort for the debtor nations,
now asking poStponement Of
their payments due December IS,
was expected to come from the
meeting between the Executive
and the man who will succeed
him.
Congress is standing almost
100 per cent against further ex-
tension Of the moratorium and
will not countenance any form
Of revision, so there is little
Hoover and Roosevelt can do,
even should they be so inclined.
President Hoover probably will
propose to Governor Roosevelt
that the World War Debt Funding
Commission be revived to inquire
into the equity of the debts. The
President made this proposal to
Congress a year ago and it was
ignored. If he makes it again
next month. it undoubtedly will
receive the same treatment.
Personal, Informal"
At President Hoover's elbow in
the conference will be Secretary
Of the Treasury Ogden Mills.
Giving Governor Roosevelt advice
will be Prof. Raymond Moley, of
Columbia.
No stenographer will be pres.
ent, and the meeting, in accord
al1ce with the expressed wishes
Of the President-elect, will be
personal and informal"

HOOVER STAND
ONBEERSTILL
IN DOUBT
Statement Denies President
Gave Assurance He Would
Not Veto Brew Act

President Hoover's attitude on
beer was clothed in mystery to-
day as prominent Republicans on
Capitol Hill expressed contrary
opinions as to whether he would
veto a modification measure.
The White House emphatically
denied that Mr.. Hoover had
given Representative Britten (R)
of Illinois information that he
would not veto a measure, so long
as the alcoholic content of beer
was kept within the limits Of
the constitution and the saloon
banned.
Britten's Belief Unchanged
Britten-who had disclaimed
the right to speak the Presidents
mind when he expressed his
opinion to newspaper men--said
he was still convinced Mr.. Hoover
would not oppose a majority Of
Congress on reasonable modifica-
ton of the VolStead Act.
Previously, a prominentA Senate
Republican had privately de-
clared Mr.. Hoover was firmly
opposed to modifying the
Volstead Act until the Eighteenth
Amendment has been repealed or
revised.
Many vets expressed the opinion
that the Chief Executives attitude
would depend largely on the form
in which q bill is presented.
They cited Mr.. Hoover'S ad-
vocacy of 2.75 per cent beer as a
temperance measure while food
administrator and the pressing
need of the Government for rev.
enue.
Revenue Chief Argument
The anti-probitionists are push
ing their argument that a tax on
beer would provide $50, ,OO0, 600
revenue a month without delay,
and thus contribute to the relief
of the Treasury.
If congress refuses to pass tax
measure to make up for this posi-
BILE amount of revenue, they said,
Mr.. Hoover would be in the posi-
ton of preferring an unbalanced
budget to legal beer.
The congressional situation on
modification may he cleared by
Speaker John N. Garner. Vice
PreSident.elect, who returned for
the short session of Congress to-
day. Before the election Garner
freely predicted Congress would
pass a beer bill this winter.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The greatest sudden sinking of any part of the earths surface ever known was a drop of 120 feet, and it happened under-tf1e-sea.
 The sudden drop was discov- cred by a vessel of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in the Sulu sea in the Philippine Islands.
 A bank or Sfloal was found. about two miles long and half a mile wide, at depth of from eight to ten fathoms, or 43 to 60 feet.
 Two years later the same shoal was resurveyed, and it was found that the central part had sunk to a depth of 120 feet greater than before, although the two ends re- mained the same.
 No such subsistence ever has been recorded on land, even at the epicenter of the several earth quakes The cause of it is un- known, but may have been an undersea earthquake.

Major Leagues baseball farm or chain store" system has come to stay and play very vital part more rapidly than was anticipat- ed, in the games development. in the belief of William Harridge, president of the American League.
 The objections to this type of minor league ownership on a grad cd basis, rapidly have disappear ed,7 said Harridge in discussing the situation in Florida.
 Present day conditions in the minors, of course, have prompted the major league club owners to extend their holdings on sySte- matic basis, in addition to the obvious disadvantages gained by the pioneers in the business.
 Most of the American League clubs that can afford it, are go- ing in for more minor league own ership in addition to continuing or extending working agreements"
