BITTER FIGHT
ON BEER BILL
House Wrangle Becomes Per.
sonal As Pros And Ants
Debate Measure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. <UPj-
A roaring, boisterouS house today
fought its way through opening de-
bate on the Collier beer for reve-
nue." bill.
Parliamentary decorum was
thrown to the winds as the men,
bership, with personal and politi-
cal prejudices fully aroused, bit
terly attacked and defended the
modification measure.
Led by the picturesque figure of
white haired Majority Leader Rain
ey, the -pronibitionists chal-
lenged and finally shouted down
opponents to ine bill The argu-
ment of the modificationists was
that the bill would provide them a
new form of taxation and help
balance the budget, while prohibi-
zionist spokeSmen declared the
measure plainly unconstitutional"
The expected revolt against pro-
visions in the bill broke out in the
midst of the turbulent debate, when
Rep. Vinson, DEM, KY, announced
he would later offer an amend
ment to provide strict sale regu-
lations for beer and effectually
prevent the return of the saloon.
Vinson is member of the house
ways and means committee which
in drafting the bill did not provide
for federal restrictions in sale other
than license fees.
Representative Mouser, Republi-
can, Ohio, started the oratorical
explosion when he accused Repre-
sentative Britten, Republican, ILL
nois, of being "daffy" on the sub
ject of beer. Britten previously had
admitted that his assertion that
President Hoover would not veto
a beer bill was drawn from let
ter written more than decade ago,
in 1918.
Britten, flushed with anger, re-
piled in kind, declaring Mouser
was "bigoted, hypocritical and fan
atical." The ensuing rough and
tumble speech making was remin-
iscent of last years sales tax free
for all.

strange occurrance that cost the
lives of eight of its members yes
terday.

over across the snow covered tomb

"The American people as a whole
are not getting these undeseryed
gratuities," ne said. "One per cent
of our present population is now
receiving nearly so per cent of the

World war veterans were as avid
for government money as are those
now drawing relief, the government
would be paying its entire revenues

CONF FERENCE
On DEBTS At

Government Officials Called To-

Hoover's Suggestion.
DISCUSS REVISION PLANS
Administration Hoping To Swing
Roosevelt's Support Though
No Encouragement Given.
By JOSEPH ii. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2o.-A con-
ference of government experts to
consider plans for the world &C.
onomic conference along the lines
suggested by President Hoover in
his special debt message to con-
gress yesterday, was called by Sec
retary of State Stimson today.
The proposal of the President
tor trading war debt revision for
economic advantages, was among
the subjects discussed at the meet
ing in Stimson's office.
Attending the conference were
Secretary of Treasury Mills, Sec
retary of Commerce Chaplin, DR..
Herbert Feis, economic advisor of
the state department and John H.
Williams and Edmond Day. The
last two are the American techni-
cal experts for the coming inter-
national conference.
| The success of President Hoov-
er's plan for commission to con-
slider revising Europe's war debts
in return for favors to American
trade appeared to be depend on the
cooperation of President elect
Roosevelt.
Reports from Albany indicated
the President-elect did not endorse
Mr.. Hoover's ideas. Yet officials
her felt hopeful that he would CO.
operate in making appointments to
the commission.
In authoritative quarters it was
broadly limited that the President
and his successor had discussed the
plan before it was proposed to
congress yesterday.
Need Roosevelt Aid
While Mr.. Hoover, in theory,
might create the commission with
| out Mr.. Roosevelt's cooperation,
such action would appear to be
futile. The essence of the Presi-
dents desire is bipartisan COM
mission to bridge the gap between
the outgoing and incoming admin
iStrations. There is little. chance
that the work of commission
oisapproved in advance by Mr..
@eOOoSfSAU SOoiQ lay tllC UdSlS 1OI
his action on debts after he be-
comes President.
Creation by congress of a debt
reviewing commission-which Mr..
Hoover suggested as an alterna-
tive to appointing one himself
appeared doomed. Many legislative
leaders denounced the Hoover pro-
posal Others gave it faint praise.
Only few endorsed it.
However many congressman, in
Guiding prominent Democrats,
praised the Presidents discussion
of world economics and the neces-
sity for concerted action to raise
commodity prices.
StimSon'S action in calling the
experts together followed a cabin
ct meeting at which President Hoo
yer went over the debt situation.
His message to congress was dis
cussed at length.
From an authoritative source
the United Press learned that Mr..
Hoover's proposal that President
elect Roosevelt join with him in Sc
lection of a debt commission, had
been broached to the New York
governor before the President sub
mitted it to congress. The matter
was repeatedly discussed through
an exchange of kilograms.
