3.2 Per Cent Accepted at Conference-But Wine and Fruit Juice Goes Under Same Per Cent Borah Amendment on Minors Thrown Out HOUSE MUST VOTE
 ON IT TUESDAY

Washington, March 20-(UP)-- Senate and House conferees agreed to-day on bill to modify the Vol-s stead act to legalize 3.2 per cent beer, wine and fruit juice.
 The conferees struck from the Senate modification bill the Borah amendment to forbid the sale or gift of the legalized beverages to minors under 16 years of age. &
 The wine and fruit juice provi- sion was retained in the bill after Senator McAdoo, dem, California, appeared before the conferees in behalf of California grape growers. The conference group also heard Senator Byrd, dem, Virginia. own CT of one of the largest apple orchards in the United States.
 The Senate went ahead with plans to ratify the agreement of the conferees to-day. House ace tion tomorrow under suspension of the rules could put the modifica- ton measure in President Ro0se- velt's hands before ,nightfall and insure legalized beer and wine on April 5.
 The bill does not become effec- tive until 15 days after 1t Is en- acted.
 The return to 3.2 per cent was an abandonment of the Senate amendment which last week low cred the House bill to 3.05 per cent. The difference is not great. approximately one drop of alcohol in a 12-ounce bottle of beer.
 To compensate for this reces- sion on the part of Senate con ferees, representatives of the House accepted tho Senate amend- ment extending the act to include wine and fruit juices.
 The third Senate amendment was the restriction with respect t0 minors, offered by Senator BOrah. repn, Idaho, and adopted in the Senate by a top heavy majority.
 Chairman Harrison of the Sen- ate conferees said it was hoped to report the compromise program at D. m. but he said he understood it would not be taken up in the House until tomorrow.
 Emerging from the conferences room to-day: McAdoo said:
 "There are certain California wines which can be processcd down after fermentation to 3.2 per cent. Soft drink manufacturers in the East say they can use sub- stantial quantity of California sau- terne and Burgundy"

and a figure which has been his only
in dreams previously. Chesney picked
up two brides in his dash over the
last nine and twice went over par.
Here is his card for the last nlre. for
the benefit of his playmates, who nave
