Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
Moves For Protection OF
Dry States

Washington, Dec. 16.-tF-A vote
in the house on 80 per cent beer be-
fore Christmas was definitely in pros
pect Friday as Democratic leaders
formed their lines to insure its pass
age.
The house ways and means commit
tee approved modification of the VOL
stead act Thursday to permit the
manufacture and sale Of beer OF 81
per cent alcoholic content by weight,
and Chairman Collier planned to In
troduce his revised measure FRIDAY
for a vote Tuesday.
The committee Friday disapproved
the Lea bill to legalize wine.
The vote was IA to 8 against a mo-
ton to report the bill to the house for
action, as had been done Thursday
with the Collier bill to allow 80 per
cent beer.
The committee agreed Thursday to
consider the wine measure, which
was sponsored by Representative Lea
Dem., CALI.
The committee action will not pre-
vent wine proponents from seeking te
amend the beer bill in the house tt
legalize light wines, along with tne
brew.
Chairman Collier told reporters thu
vote against wine resulted from q be
lief that the alcoholic content IN ma
turally fermented wines was In VIC
lation of the spirit of the 18th amend
ment."
Surprising both advocates and op
ponents by its quick action, the com
mittee revised the original Collier bill
which had called for 2.75 beer. to pro
vide for the 80 brew and fixed tn
tax at IS per barrel.
Collier estimated If the brew
legalized SITS ,000, 900 in revenue woul
be realized annually. No restriction
were imposed on the sale except sue

Double Price of Flour

Washington, Dec. 16.-(F1-spokes-
men for the flour milling industry
told the house agriculture commlttee
Friday the domestic allotment farm
relief plan would impose an exorpit-
ant sales tax that would double the
price of flour to the consumer.
Fred ]. Lingham, Of Lockport, N. T.,

the demand for bread under present
low prices was so reduced many pax

II was Lingham's second day on the
stand, Preceding him, Frederick Lee,

1--WE believe that unless there wa
a policeman beside every grlndlnf
mill there would be bootlegging O

He estimated that for every 81
barrel tax on flour there would be

Of commerce, and others.
Herriot continued his inflexible de-
termination not to enter q new Chau-
temps cabinet unless France follows
in line his draft of a text to WASH

The significance Of the presence OF

HOLDS FIRST MORTGAGE

Foreclosure proceedings on
Griggs street property that was in
volyed in a recent supreme court
decision were started In superior
court to-day by the Waterbury Ma
tional Bank seeking the appoint
ment of a receiver for the collec-
ton of rents on the property. The
property is now held by Frank and
Anna DiBlasi who unsuccessfully
fought a superior court case sew
eral months ago which was brought
by Attorney j. Warren Epson. adj
ministrator of the estate Of Fran
cesco DiBlasi, mother Of the de-
PENDANTS.
Under\the terms of the decision
of Judge Frederick M. Peasley, the
defendants were ordered to turn
over to Attorney Epson within two
weeks the Griggs street property.
An appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court by the defendants but
that high body upheld the lower
courts decision in a finding issued
several days ago.
The Waterbury National Bank,
holder of a first mortgage on the
property, filed foreclosure proceed
ings on the grounds that the in
terest due on the mortgage was not
paid. The bank is within the law
by such a STEP.
The names of Martin J. McEvoy
and Fred J. Dalton were suggested
as the receiver for the collection of
rents pending the outcome of the

Hartford. Conn, April supp
The president Of Princeton Uni
versity, John Grier Hibben. has
entered his protest in the contro-
versy over proposed barring of
New York milk from Connecticut
after May 81. President Hibben
interviewed with the governor,
whom he had known as dean of
Yale graduate school in behalf of
his er-in-law, Mrs Sidney Law
ton of Springdale. who operates a
dairy Just over the New York state
line. United States District Attor-
ney John Buckley. acting as attor-
ney for several large milk produc-
els, contends the proposed ban,
announced by State Dairy and
Food Commissioner William ].
Warner. Is a violation of the laws
governing interstate commerce.
New York state milk producers
met at South Salem, N. Y. yester-
day to consider plans for boycott
ting Connecticut farm products.
This prompted the Danbury Bust
ress association to announce oppo-
sition to the ban because Of the
effect New York reprisals would
have on Connecticut border farm
ers, who sell thousands of dollars
worth of milk and produce across
the state line. Connecticut is said
to send 100000 quarts Of milk daily
into New York while New York
sends $4,000 quarts into Connec-
ticut.
