 Washington, April 18.-(UP)-- Orders have gone out from prohi- bition authorities for a thorough check up of new beer permits as part of @ search for hidden rac- keteers.
 The orders were issued by Dr James M. Doran, commissioner of industrial alcohol, as a result of the reported discovery of a beer permit for a New Jersey brewery in pos- session of a gangster slain in Eliza beth, N. J., few days ago.
 This revealed that gangsters in some localities are making an ef- fort to get control of distribution of legal beer, prohibition officials say.
 Two days before legal beer went on sale, 8 policy of pronounced liberality" in issuing beer permits was laid down by the new director of prohibition, Maj A. V. Dalrymple He operates under the department of justice, while Dr Doran is under the treasury department. Both offices must concur in issuance of beer permits.
 lhO ANCW CiSCy CooC ldnHCtl smouldering differences between the two offices which have grown out of the proposal to merge tho tr"asury's industrial alcohol per- nit bureau into the department of justice prohibition bureau.
 Major Dalrymple, large, af- fable, laundering voiced Californi- an, protege of Senator William Gibbs McAdoo, declined to take re- sponsibility for issuing the New Jersey permits.
 T told them to speed up the per mits but only if they were in prop CT condition" he said. "rhey were not issues of our department"
 Doran, a veteran of 20 years in the enforcement of beverage and alcohol regulations, feels that his officials were betrayed" in the New Jersey case and he intends to go down the line to see that no similar instances have been passed.
 Our investigation is going to be a thorough one and we will revoke any permits where we find any, thing of a questionable nature," he said. "We are hunting particu- larly for cases involving imposition on the government and failure to disclose real parties at interest and the use of dummies for concealing real ownership of racketeers. We are determined to do everything possible to keep racketeers from getting control of beer distribution. We are going to push this to the limit"
 New Jersey is the locality caus- ing most concern, although some unverified reports have come in regarding activities in Chicago.
 Prohibition enforcement policy was placed in the hands of Dalrym- pie, a new administration appoin- tee, when he succeeded Amos w. w. Woodcock of the Hoover ad- ministration. He imm ediately laid down policy that the purpose of the beer act was to produce it maximum revenue and that it should be construed literally tow ard that end.
 He told his subordinates they should not object to fssusnce of

NATIONAL BOARD TO REGULATE ALL
 THE INDUSTRIES
Secretary of Labor Per- kins Says Another Roosevelt Plan Before the House Labor COm= mittee

Washington, April 18-(U.PD- The administration has submitted to congress q specific plan for a national board sregulate indus trial production.
 Secretary of Labor Perkins, act ing on behalf of President Roose- welt, laid the proposal before the house labor committee as an amend ment to the pending 30-hour week bill, the United Press learned.
 The administration thus pro- poses to broaden the measure into a revolutionary venture in na- tional economic planning and social reoonstruction-spreading out em- ployment through the shorter work week to open up jobs for millions of the 13,000,000 or more now idle, and then attempting to stabil- ize that employment and earning power by controlling production.
 The goal is to keep factories and mines operating at an even pace with output closely adjusted to market demands, instead of over producing for g. period, glutt1nC the market with surplus that forces prices down and then having to lay off workers.
 While details of the plan were suared pending a consideration or the bill by the house committee to morrow, it was learned that Miss Perkins asked that regulation of production be placed in the hands of g. new board of which she would be member.
 Instead of the flat six-hour day, flve-day week limitation set in the Black bill passed by the senate. she would set a maximum of 4o hours a week and empower d board to make flexible adjustments below that figure as the needs or various industries demanded.
 Similarly, no specific minimum wage would be fixed, but a board would attempt to maintain wages at a just scale and settle contro- versies.

CHARDONIZE DRESSES

A favorite fabric in the smart shops is chardonize, the knitted yarn with a dull lustre and soft draping qualities. The knitting is so fine that the material looks as if it were woven. Golf, tennis and informal daytime dresses are par ticularly popular in the deep, chalky pastels Crossbar weaves, corduroy stripes and rough crepe finishes woven from chardonize yarn are all distinguished by a dense, spongy softness.

Washington, Apfll lS. (UP)- The new French and German am- bassadors, men who will play im- portant parts in the forthcoming international economic discussions here, are more outspoken and less formal than their predecessors.
 Andre Lefebvre de Laboulaye. who has taken the place of Paul Claudel, is a middle-aged man of slender build, with keen blue eyes and light brown hair. He is meti- cuIous dresser and speaks English clearly, although with 8 slight &C., cent.
 De Laboulaye, pronounced "De- laboolay," already has introduced q "new deaP' at the Fdench em- bassy
 "Come to sec me any time," he told neWspapermen. Previous French ambassadors, from the time of Jules Jusserand, appeared to regard press relations as a ne- cessary evil, to be avoided if pos- sible.
 Luther, heavy-set and square, jawcd, does not care much for so- ciety. Official entertaining at the German embassy probably will be limited to essentials. However, Luther likes informal parties for music or friendly conversation. His predecessor, Ambassador von Prittwitz. clung more closely to the formal lines of convention.
 Prime Minister Ramsay Mac Donald will sleep, during his visit for the economic discussions, in the room were President Lincoln signed the emancipation proclama- ton.
 Later, Prime Minister Benett of Canada will have the same room.
 The room was used as the "Lin- coln Study" by the Hoovers but the Roosevelts changed it back into a bedroom.
 Miss Ishbel Macdonald has been assigned the blue bedroom on the north side of the White House, with q small office next to 1t.
 MacDonald's valet and body guard will occupy the third floor roms which Franklin, Jr. and John Roosevelt use when they are in Washington.

ed in Paterson, Jersey City and Newark, N. J., Wilkes-Barre, Reading and Easton, Pa. All of the charges were in connection with theft of articles from depart ment stores.
 Young was arrested here by Sergeant Detective Henry Johnson when he entered the w. T. Grant department store and asked that two women's slips be exchanged for 8 larger size. It was just an opening wedge to demand the re- turn of $2. When he tried to ex- change some shirts the manage ment was "wise," having received a tip from the Naugatuck store to be on the lookout for him. The type of shirt, which he claimed he bought in the store a few hours previous has not been in stock for several months, the manager tes- tified this morning. They were apparently stolen in some other store, but no attempt was made to press the theft charge. Young was charged with obtaining money under false pretenses.
 The accused started in to explain how there must have been some mistake. Judge McGrath. paying a tribute to his spell-binding in- fluence, listened without comment until the question of his long record came up and Young start- ed to blame his downfall on pro- hibition.
 "I spent Good Friday and Easter in jail and that's something which never happened to me before," Young remarked. Tt will never happen again. will report to your honor every month to show you that I will go right"
