While Hoover Prepares to Write Message, Con- gress Leaders Are Adamant on Payment
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD

 United Press Staff Corrcsppndcnt)
 Washington, Dec S-The admin istration today pondered It's reply to urgent British and French pleas for postponement of war debt payments due. 12days hence' Congress warned that recommen- dations for g. further moratorium would be futile. The president was expected to make known his views in special message to con- gress next week.
 While MT Hoover and his cabinet advisors studied the new British and French notes, speaker Of the House Garner and Senate Majority Leader Watson warned that con-- gress would not authorize delay of the December 15 debt payments, totaling $124,000.000.
 Senator Borah, republican, Idaho and Bankhead, democrat, Alabama, were only outspoken dvocates of relief for the debtors. They attach ed reservations, Bankhead suggest ed that only interest be paid on December 15, pending an effort to work a method payment other than in gold. :.
 The war debt problem appeared to resolve itself into these simple terms in teh mind of the average legislator. 'Europe's debts are legal. Talk about them is useless. Let Eu- rope pay or default" Unless there is a political miracle between now and December 15, 1t appears that the debtors will be forced to make that choice.
 Some officials believe Great Bri- tain would make every effort to pay rather than set a precedent of default for its own debtors through out the world. It Is thought, how ever, that payment would De limit ed to the $65, 100000 applicable on interest, which is not postponable under the debt funding agreement.

BEER FORCES ln A HUDDLE
 AS ''LkME DUCk'' SESSION OF CONGRESS APPROACHES
Drys Prepare to Make Their Last Stand in EpOch- Making Battle as Vets Rush Beer Bill to Put Nation on Its Feet t

legalization of beer, that iB about a cent a glass. Taking pre-war per capita consumption, plus allow ance for increased population since then, the crusaders figure these 15 states would yield a beer tax of 2226, ,542,99e. As soon as the 18th amendment was repealed, other states would fall in bringing the yield to 3418. .00O.0 the crusaders estimate. They suggest a tax of two cents a glass. which would double the revenue, would be glad ly paid and would still be less than Englishmen pay.
 The United States Brewers association and the Cereal Bever- age manufacturers, association hold on the contrary that a higher tax would favor soma brewing and bootlegging, checking legitimate consumption and curtailing reve- nue.d
 The peak pre-war beer consump- tion averaged 21 gallons a year for every man woman and child of that time. Figuring from this basis allowing for population increase and conversely fof tho spread of state prohibition laws since, anti prohibitionists in the house esti- mate a $5 barrel tax on beer would produce $350, 100000 e year.
 Pending appeal, beer might pro- duce enough revenue to run the navy or possibly the army. It prob ably would be reasonably certain to produce enough to run the ag- riculture and postoffice depart ments. That would be just a silver in the whole federal budget pie chart.
 Drys say it isn't worth the price. The price, as seen through the eyes of the dry, was stated in graphic language some time ago by Eugene l.. Crawford, secretary of the board of temperance and social service of the Methodist Episcopal church south:
 Greater activity among the un- dertakers, grave diggers, the in- sane asylum guards. the poor farm employees. the hangmen, the peni- tentiary wardens, employees and directors of soup kitchens, and the great army of additional police men, traffic directors, judges and court attendants, which would in- evitably accompany the return of beer as legalized but demoraliz- ing social factor"

character did not remove natural doubts and suspicious that cluster around the document"
 The Black Tom railroad term inal and pier across the Hudson river from New York was de- stroyed in series of explosions while full of freight cars and barges containing munitions, the night of July 29-30, 1916. This was during the period of United States neutrality in the war.
 The munitions were destined for shipment to the allied countries. German agents immediately were suspected of sabotage. Proceed ings to 4apprehend and convict the suspects were interrupted by the United States entry into the war early the next year and It was only since the war that the United States was able to press its claim against Germany for the alleged destruction of the terminal.
 Similarly the Kingsland, N. J.. munitions assemblying plant. was destroyed by fire in January, 1917: It was full of shells intended for shipment to the Russian armies. A fire broke out at the bench or 2 German Russian workman named Theodore Wosniak, who has since been charged with starting the blaze with chemical filled leau pencils. Claims against Germany in connection with the. Kingslanq fire also were dismissed today.

Bridgeport, Conn. December 3 = (UP) - The state supreme court of errors will give the final decision on a republican petition for a recanvass of the 21st state senatorial district, on which may
 depend control of the state senate. Judge James c. Shannon aT- nounced he would appeal from the decision of Supreme Court Judge Frank F. McEvoy denying . writ of nandamus to compel the master moderator of the district to re- canvass the vote. Shannon repre- sents Fred w. Harrison. republi- can, who was shown in the first official canvass to have been de- feated by William Conley, demo- crat, by 25 votes.
 Judge McEvoy ruled late yester- day that there was insufficient evi- dence of irregularity to warrant a recanvass. The judge had heard arguments for and against the mandamus petition and shannon had offered the tally sheet of q precinct, showing an erasure, as evidence. Homer Cummings, con- testing the action, called to the witness stand the moderator who had called off the contested figure and the clerk who had recorded .t and they Testified the erasure was due to a clerical error.

 Judge Coleman issued the follow ing instructions:
 You are to use all the wisdom that you have gotten from years of experience in determining what in- ference should be drawn from the facts here proved. On the other hand, you cannot assume specific facts if there is no evidence to support them.
 You must do the best you can to decide what the specific facts were and then draw from them such conclusions as your wisdom and experience would prompt you to draw"

Chicago. Dec 3-(U. P.) - Six teen-year old Charles Bertrand Ar hold, hammer slayer of his step grandmother, smiled furtively as he walked into Chief Justice Jonn Prystalski's criminal courtroom to- day to learn his fate, but the nrst 10 minutes of testimony reduced him to a shuddering, terror-strick- en boy.
 For the first time since his ar rest. the frail, studious youth gave way to terror as the police officers summoned to the Arnold home in Riverside after the staying Novem- Der IS told of following blood stains to a cistern and discovering there the body of Mrs Ellen o. Saxe, 60.

 Washington, Dec 3-Beer is marching into battle dressed in the uniform of a revenue producer.
 It was taken on a semi-patriotic dress in these times of a threaten- ed $2,0O0, ,OO0, 900 deficit.
 But to the drys it is only an evil creature putting it's best foot for- ward. They concede it will raise revenue. But only at a price which they say makes 1t too expensive.
 When the advocates of beer plead before the house ways and means committee next week, they will keep as far away as they can from the troublesome question of how beer would be distributed. Instead they will concentrate on statistics to show that beer would quickly erase some of the red ink on the treasury books.
 One of the most detailed state ments of hoped-for.revenue is that prepared by the crusaders. Fifteen states which now have no state enforcement codes, they as-. sert, could start selling beer at once if congress legalized it.
 The statutes still carry tax of SC a barrel on beer which would be collectable automatically with
