FRANCE RUSHES SUBMARINES TO
 QUOTA LIMITS
Ministry of Navy Issues Orders to Complete Un- derSea Crafts
By RALPH HEINZEN Jnited Press Stan COrresDOn(1ent)

(Unfte0 Press stan COrreSpOn0ent)
 Paris, (UP)-Concentrating on the building up of her submarine fleet to its full strength under the Washington and London ! naval treaties, France will rush to com pletion those undersea ships left unbuilt under the 1930 building program.
 The minister of navy to-day or the 1890 program, the Ouessant and the Sidi-Ferruch, each 1870 tons, to be laid down immediately in the Cherbourg arsenal yards, so as to complete them during 1883.
 Each of the new submarines will cost 46,000,000 francs. They are of the Redoubtable class, of which France will soon have .25 units. These new craft will bring Frances total submarine strength to 55 first class high-seas subs and 50 coast or mine-laying subs, a total of 105 undersea craft.
 Each of the two new subs will have two sets of Diesel engines of 5000 hp., capable of a speed of IS knots on the surface and 10 knots submerged. Each sub car- ries one 5h inch gun and IA tor pedo tubes.
 The Glorious" of the same class and the last of four built under the 1929 program, is near ing completion and will be launched at Cherbourg during November.
 The navy department is plan- ming the early replacement of 10 German submarines, surrendered to France under the peace treaty, which are now nearing the limit of their usefulness. These include the U-119, now the Rene-Audry, which the Germans started in 1917 but had not finished at the armistice. This sub was destined to cross the Atlantic. "straff" New York and other coast cities, and lay mines in American waters.

Whatever Democrat Gets That Position, Out of the
 10000 10 Be Given, Will Do No Bench Warming

Washington, Dec 16.-CUP)- Whatever democrat gets the posi- tion of first assistant postmaster general must work.
 He is going to have the task of firing postmasters and mail car- riers who don't come up to scratch. He Is going to have to listen to complaints from innumerable con- gressmen, senators and politicians. Persons are going to tell him their morning mail was late and demand better service. Others are going to poster him with constant re- quests for extension of rural mail routes. And he must manage the "dead letter" office.
 "The most irritating and dis agreeable part of this work" said Arch Coleman, the present incum- bent, lis the disciplinary side of it. About 270,0O0 persons are attached to my bureau and have to pass on all cases of dismissal and so

 The first assistants office is on the fifth floor of the old postoffice building. It's woodwork is dark and it's walls painted drab brown, oil paintings of former first assist tants and postmasters general a. dorn the walls. Most of the light Is shut out by the adjoining build ing. Coleman's successor twill go into more elegant quarters in an- other year when the new postof- flee building is completed.
 In Coleman's opinion, the job requires previous postal experience. For many years he was postmas- ter at Minneapolis.

DRY LEADERS IN CONGRESS MAKE
 BITTER FIGHT
Say the Wet Interests Are Trying to Make Men, Women and Children Drink Beer

Washington. Dec 13-(U. P.) - Charges that the "beer trade" pro- poses.. national advertising cam- paign Ito make every man, woman and child in America beer con- sumner" were made before the house ways and means committee to-day when prohibitionist leaders brought to a climax their battle against Volstead act modification.
 Deets Pickett, secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance Prohibition and Public Morals. was the first of three nationally known prohibition leaders to testify.
 He marshalled economic and moral arguments against modifica- tion, and charged that beer inter- ests were prepared to expand their trade ''by exploiting boys and girls, especially girls"
 We know perfectly well that the beer trade is proposing a vast campaign of advertising to make every man, woman and child in America beer consumer" charg- ed Pickett.
 Revenue from beer tax, he said, would be offset by declines in income and corporation taxes, should modification occur. Unem- ployment would increase. he pre- dicted. because of decreased ex-

Tammany Bloc At
 Albany Halted
 Roosevelt Plan
They Combined With Re- pubIicans to Hold Up Recommended ions s of the Governor Fear of Al Smith Was One of Reasons

Albany, Dec 13-UP) - Gov ernor Franklin D. Rooseveit's plan for a study of the New York city charter, leading the way to muni- cipal reform, appeared blocked to- day by a combination of republi- cans and Tammany democrats.
 In spite of the attitude of an url- friendly legislature, however. it was known that the governor would make at least one more effort to force his program upon the legis- lators.
 Tammany's fear of Alfred E. Smith. who recently demanded re- forms that would sweep away mill lions in patronage controlled by the Wigwam, was regarded as the chief motive behind the down-state bloc that appeared to be arrayed against the proposals.
 It was regarded as probable tha: ITO constructive measure would pass the special session, other than that which calls for repeal of man. datpry laws fixing the wages of city emeloyes. Promise that such a bill woald be passed was extracted from the New. York political pow CTS before the city's bankers would agree to finance the municipality over. its present. crisis.
 ,Tammany's. open break with the governor was checked, on tho otl or hand, by fear of rupture witA the president-elect which would result in loss of federal patronage after March 4.
