A. FL. YET TO ACT
ON SHORTER WEEK
Committees to Begin Report

Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, November 26.-The
fifty-second annual convention Of the
American Federation cf Labor, with its
major problems yet to be met, COM
pleted its first week of work today.
The shorter workweek, considered
one of the most important subjects CT
the convention. has been discussed sew
eral times, but definite action on
methods to bring it into being remain
to be taken.
Having rejected resolution to seek
a constitutional amendment for five
day week snd six-hour day, committees
studying the matter are expected to be-
gin reporting Monday.
Opinion was expressed by some
speakers, when the resolution was re-
most practically by direct cooperation
To alleviate effects of the depression
on labor, the federation plans to in
tensify its campaign urging buyers to
seek union label products. No time was
lost in expressing. through resolution,
union opposition to general sales tax.
Speakers called this form of revenue "a
move to soak the poor"
AS fer compulsory unemployment in
surance, emphasized by President Will
liam Green as of top-ranking impor-
tance along with sh-rtsr work-week pro-
posals, that subject has been discussed
only in formal addresses. During the
week resolutions were adopted favoring
unionizing chain store employees and
laundry workers.

Congress can provide for the election
Of State constitutional conventions to
pass on the proposed amendment 70 the
Constitution, there is an opinion among
members of Congress that it would be
better to leave to the Legislatures OF the
States the duty of providing for these
constitutional conventions. A large
number of State Legislatures, some A.
as matter of fact, are to meet next
January and would be in a position to
act promptly If the Congress should put
through a repeal or revision resolution.
Since a constitutional amendment Is
proposed by Congress only by two
thirds vote in both houses, the President
has no veto power over a constitutional
amendment. 1t is obvious that II two
thirds vote for the submission OF an
amendment to the Constitution, presi-
dental veto could not be sustained,
since it can be overridden by two
thirds vote of the Congress.
The principal point at issue between
the Republicans and the Democrats
seems to be whsther a constitutional
amendment repeating the eighteenth
amendment should ban the saloon. The
Democrats in their platform declared
against a return of the saloon, but pro-
pose to leave the matter to the states.
Some of the Democrats, however, be-
lieve that it would be far easier to
bring about ratification of the proposed
repeal amendment If bar is raised
against the saloon in the amendment.

brewers was summoned to meet here
this week to draft a report to be sub

Congressmen, saying that a score OF

cent by volume)," because, he added. it
was Notwithstanding in fact.

the Volstead act" Dr. Barton said, "but
if it does legalize anything Intoxicating

Big Beer Trade Declared Possibil-

BY the Associated Press.
The weekly Clipsheet of the Methodist
Board Of Temperance, Prohibition and
Public Morals, issued last night, said it
would "be idle to deny that the polit-
ical position of prohibition had been
seriously impaired"
The article said there were indications
that "chaos" threatened with regard to
the whole liquor problem.
The re-establishment of a vast beer
trade is a possibility" the article con-
tinued, "and this means and can mean
nothing less than the diversion OF ex-
penditures from existing industry and
commerce. = AS surely as the
sun rises the reaction will come. In
all probability it will come within a
period of three years, and when it comes
it will be devastating to the political
interests of any group responsible for
indefensible conditions"

BEER UNDER a PER CENT
UNWISE, BUSCH ASSERTS
Brewer Thinks It Would Encour-

BY the Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, November 26-August
A. Busch, prominent st. Louis brewer,
in a letter today to members of Con-
gress, urged legalization of beer of at
least per cent alcohol by volume.
ANY products under per cent will
fail to be accorded that response neces-
sary again to popularize legal beer" he
said. 1T would be barren of that ap-
peal that constitutes it an inviting and
palatable drink-would encourage the
continuance of bootlegging, racketeer-
ing and smuggling-would foster the
trade of the alley brewery"
Busch said per cent beer Is nom
Intoxicating. A beer of 275 per cent,
he said would place the breweries in
the position of offering a substitute. "
and he predicted that such beer would
be rejected by the masses of our people,
who want and are demanding beer i'll
all respects satisfying, and that will,
so to say, furnish that warmth, salts
faction and contentment that mild
stimulant like a good, wholesome beer

North Georgia Conference Refuses

ATLANTA, November 26.-Deter-
mined opposition to any effort for weak
ening the eighteenth amendment was
expressed today by the North Georgia
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, but it refused to say
how its members should vote on pro-
hibition.
The stand was taken In the adoption
Of the Temperance and Social Service
Boards report, but clause to classify
those who vote for modification or re-
peal as enemies Of prohibition" and
oppose them at the polls was rejected.
Another clause of the original re-
port that met defeat called on men,
bers of the conference to pay personal
visits to their Congressman and legis-
lators and urge them to support the
prohibition laws
In place of that, modified clause
was adopted asking that Georgia Con-
gressmen be advised of the confer
ence attitude, with the request that
they use their influence against legali-
zation of beer, wine, whisky or any al
coholic beverage.

may be a compromise on that. II

proved the bill by eliminating some

Senator Norris, (r) Neb-"The
new house bill is a better bill. 1t
contains some bitter medicine, but
we might as well realize we must
take some of it. 1t is not necessary
to balance the budget this year.

ADMIRAL BYRD
| HAS 80 TONS OF
SUPPLIES READY
Stored at Boston Navy
Yard-Will Be Used on
His Second Expedition
Into the Antarctic

New Haven, Conn, Apral l..
(UP)-Rear Admiral Richard E,
Byrd already has about 80 tons OF
supplies for his second expedition
into the Antarctic stored at Bos-
ton navy yard, he said in an inter-
view published in the Yale Daily
News to-day. He declined to an
nounce the starting date of the new
expedition but revealed its chief
purpose to determine whether
Little America" is separated from
the main Antarctic continent and
if so how large it is. In addition,
scientists with the first expedition
will continue their studies in gla-
cierology, metereology, hydro
graphy, magnetism and radio, he
said.
1--WE hope to establish base
somewhere between the South Pole
and Little America from which we
will be able to make flights into
the unknown, where temperatures
as low as IS degrees below zero
are found, and procure additional
scientific data. If our base proves
satisfactory it will in all proba-
bility be permanent so that in
years to come scientists may make
use of it."
The camp previously established
at Little America will be aban-
doned because it is so near the
edge of the ice barrier that a frag-
ment might break off and carry q
member of the party away to sea-
Byrd said. He indicated the Cal
ifornia vessel, City of Oakland
probably would carry the next ex-
petition south. He will carry only
half as many men as on his hrs,

The Georgia democrat added
that the treasury had actually re-
vised downward a number of its
own previous estimates. This, he
said, "looks a little to me as though
they were playing politics"

ures were unavailable, being under
study of a ways and means sub

the house leaders were too optl-
mistic regarding savings to be Ell

coo. 900" Crisp said, land out OF
that there are hundreds of mil
lions spent at the discretion of the
executive departments, by slowing
up work a little it should be pos
sible to save hundreds of millions.
mills himself stated that the
treasury department could save
$18,OOO,O00 by postponing construc-
ton work. But he said congress
wouldn't like it. After all large
part of the responsibility is up to
the executive branch.

ANNOUNCERS ON
RADIO MUST BE
PRONOUNCERS
Young Fellows Who Seek
the Job Are Handicap
ped By Some of the
Tests Given Them

New York, April 1 - (UP) -
Young men who dream of becom-
ing radio announcers are due for
a sudden and profound shock If
they can't pronounce "Goethe's
Triumph Der Empfindsamkeit," as
we'll as "Wieniawski," it was
learned today during an addition
given some 80 ,hopefuls at Column
bia studios. Not a one of the 80
heard today managed to go through
the list without faltering. The one
who pronounced "Gregor Piatigors-
ky" correctly fell down on Asses
Tod" The blond young man who
negotiated "Cavalleria Rusticana'
missed out on "Badinage."
John Garlic, production mana
ger, who hears each prospective
announcer, explained that good
radio announcers are becoming so
plentiful they simply had to have
tougher test for the boys. The
applicant is escorted into a small
studio and seated at desk. A
young lady hands him manu-.
script, the first paragraph OF
which contains such words as
"athenaeum, belles-lettres, sine
qua non, apothegm, caballero,
cliches, bel-esprit, genealogical,
bon mot" After that the aspirant
to radio must read.
