Jewish Leaders Ignore
DeniaIS From Germany

NEW YORK, March Is G.N.S0
DiSregarding as we'll as disbeliev'
ing official denials from German

Semetic persecution is in full tide

against the alleged persecution.
Arrangements went forward for
the gigantic mass meeting to be
held in Madison Square Garden
Monday night, which will be at
tended by persons of all faiths and
creeds.
Bernard M. Deutsch, president
of the American Jewish Congress
announced the congress was
launching a campaign to raise
$50O,O00 to be used for relief work
among the Jewish refugees from
Germany.

protest against German Fascist
atrocities" was organized, having

ILLINOIS HOLDS
SOFT DRINK

CHICAGO, March IS G.N.S)
Officials Of Illinois and Chicago
today were in agreement to regard
the 3.2 per cent beer as nonintoxi-
eating and in the same category
as soda water as far as regulatory
laws are concerned.
Attorney General Otto Kerner
gave his opinion unofficially while
Acting Mayor Frank Corr was pre-
siding at a conference Of city Off
cials called to draft city ordi-
nances governing the traffic and
sale Of the beer which becomes
legal on April 7.
Until the courts decide on vari-
Gus problems arising from the
legality Of the new brew, the attor-
ney general suggested that this
opinion be followed in drawing up
ordinances for police regulations.
Chicago's seven licensed brew.
cries today were filling, labelling
and Gaping thousands Of bottles
of the new brew. At the Schoen-
hofen brewery, a 16-hour working
day schedule was in operation.

NAVY IN STEW,
MAY NOT GET
REAL BEER
Sec. Swanson Has Studied
Problem, But Admits He
Has No Conclusion

A ticklish problem-beer or no
beer for the 50,000-odd men serV-
ing the Navy on the high seas
has arisen in the foamy wake OF
the new beer law.
Appearing simple enough on
the surface, the situation actually
presents complications galore. so
numerous are these that the bet
ting odds are against beer on ship
and in the navy yards within any
thing like the near future, II at
all.
Studies Problem
Secretary of the Navy Swanson
has given the matter considerable
thought, he admitted, but quite
frankly has come to no conclu-
sion.
First, Swanson and his Naval
advisers. must decide whether beer
aboard ship and in the yards Is
desirable from the standpoint OF
efficiency. This in itself brings
the delicate question of support
ing or opposing-in effect, ruling
upon-the measured judgment OF
the Congress which enacted the
beer law.
It Gets More Involved
Quite often Navy ships tie up
in harbors in bone-dry States.
What about beer then? True, the
Navv craft is Federal property
and as such not subject to State
law. On the other hand, the
Navy has always carefully CO.
operated with the States to the
fullest extent. Suppose dry
States considered prohibition for
the period the ships were an
chored within their harbor con-
fines part of this cooperation" "
Again, it would be obviously
impossible to have the canteens
Of one Navy yard sell beer while
the other Navy yard canteens
went no further than milk and
soda pop. And the Norfolk
yard, for instance, is located in
Virginia, a dry State.
The Navy Viewpoint
Dispensing beer would be no
job at all on a giant battleship,
but all of the Navy's ships aren't
so big. And the Navy high COM
mand values an inch of space
on a small ship and its right
eye about equally. Beer takes up
space, if carried in any quantity
All this Jurors about beer on
the high seas is a prohibition
product, anyway. Except in the
officers mess, Navy men have
had no alcoholic beverages
aboard ship since the Civil War.
Up to that time rum rations
were served once daily to the
enlisted men. Since then in pre-
prohibition days, an enlisted man
could carry his own liquor on
the ship, but otherwise there was
no way he could procure any
"fire-water" away from port.

ures would be leased by the GOV
ernment. Wallace said: -...
There would be no need to
lease lands that are idle al.
ready.
"There would be a chance for
a scandal there"
Individual Work
In order to be most effective in
controlling this years crop, Wal
lace told the committee, the farm
bill should be put into operation
next week. Senator McNary (RO
Of Oregon asked:
Us it your opinion that under
this bill it would be necessary
to deal individually with the
farmers?"
'Tt depends on which powers
are invoked. To some extent l
think it would be necessary to
deal with the farmers indi-
vidually."
Wallace denied having esti-
mated the cost of the bill in price
increases to consumers at $780,
600, 900 annually. He asserted:
"NO sound estimate can be
made in advance"
Army Of Workers
The percentage of retail costs
going to the farmer Is so small
that price increases on farm COM
modities would have little effect
on consumption prices, it was de-
clared.
An army of 100000 people
would be required to administer
the Roosevelt farm relief bill, "
John A. Simpson, president of the
National Farmers Union, asserted.
Simpson estimated the admins
trative cost of the plan at $780,
100000 annually. not counting
payments for farm lands leased by
the Federal Government. He said:
TT would take 100000 field
men to regulate O,OOO farm
ers.
ANOTHER 100000
"FOr the regulation of process
Ors and handlers, it would take
another 100000"
Today's open hearing was
called after the committee had
decided late yesterday to take no
further testimony.
Simpson urged direct Govern
ment price fixing Of farm COM
modify prices. He also approved
the old McNary- Haugen bill with
its equalization fee, declaring
"there never was a better farm
bill written"
After endorsing the export de-
benture plan, Simpson declared
the three major farm organiza-
tions would fall down on their
knees and thank God" for the
McNary bill offered at the last
Congress. This measure combined
the equalization fee, export deb
enture and the allotment plan.

POST RECEIVER
NAMED, SALE

B. S. Minor Appointed to Con-
serve Assets of Newspaper
BY Judge Cox

Benjamin s. Minor was ap-
pointed receiver Of the Washing
ton Post by Justice Joseph w.
Cox in District Supreme Court
today.
Appointment of the attorney
came after Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean, estranged wife Of the
former publisher; told the court
that she had been unsuccessful in
her attempt to avoid the neces-
sity of the rece1vership.
Wells Ready to Bid
AS soon as Justice Cox had ap-
pointed the receiver, A. Coulter
Wells, an attorney, asked II it
would be proper to submit a bid
at that time for the purchase OF
the paper. He was told to take
the matter up with Minor.
Wells, counsel for Shannon &
Luchs, realtors, later told re-
porters that he would submit a
bid for the Post early next week
but declined to say for whom he
was acting.
Mrs. Mclean last week an
nounced that she would oppose
strongly sale of the paper out
side Of the Mclean family.
Marks Opposed
An effort was made by attor'
neys representing both Mr.. and
Mrs. Mclean to have Arthur
Marks, business manager Of the
paper, appointed co-receiver with
Minor.
His, appointment was success
fully opposed, however, by j
Harry Covington and j. S. Elan
merry, representing the Interna
tional Paper Company and the
American Security and Trust Com
pany, respectively.
Praise Marks Ability
Each expressed high apprecia-
ton for Mr.. Marks ability, but
said they believed the interest
of the paper would be best
served if he continued in his
present capacity. They also ex-
pressed the desire that Ira Ben
nett continue in editorial charge
of the newspaper.
The petition for the receiver
ship was filed yesterday on be-
half of the paper company, to
which the Post is indebted.
Appointment of a receiver was
agreed to by the American Sc
curity & Trust Co., which con-
trolls the Post as co-trustee of the
estate of John R. Mclean, of
which the paper is a part.
Mrs. Mclean and her son,
John, were in court when Mr..

Hull Receives Reports
On Jewish Situation

The state Department today
began to receive reports from
American diplomatic representa-
tives in Germany on the alleged
persecution Of the Jews under
Hitlerism.
Secretary Of State Hull, how
ever, considered the reports were
not sufficiently comprehensive to
make public at the present time.
He feels the situation should
be treated with the utmost deli
cacy. He wants to let the Hitler
regime know that the stories Of
alleged mistreatment of Jews are
causing bad feeling in this coun-
try, but he does not wish to an
tagonize the German nation.
He feels the friendly and will
ing cooperation Of Germany is
absolutely necessary in the pro-
gram for world economic recov-
cry and that nations should avoid
setting world opinion against the
Hitler government at the pres
ent time.
