F0UR-F|FTHS VOTE.
FOR BEER FORESEEN.
Tuck Holds Virginia Sales
Will Be Possible by Mid
die of August.
BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, July IA four
f1fths vote in the forthcoming special
session for the legalization of beer is
assured, it was declared today by Sena-
tor William M. Tuck of Halifax, and as
result it is probable the sale of the
beverage in what has been considered
one of the driest States in the Union
will be possible by the middle of August.
In explaining assurance of the four
fifths vote, Senator Tuck explained that
a canvass of the members of the Gen
eral Assembly shows that a number OF
the members of both the Senate and
House of Delegates who were opposed
to the calling Of SPECIAL session are IN
favor of the legalization Of beer and will
join with those who did favor the spe-
cial session in the passage OF measure
that can become effective Immediately.
without the four-fifthS vote the act
could not become effective until 80 days
after the close Of the special session.
Action to Be Restricted.

Joining in the petition for special
session, which has been set by Gov. Pol
lard for August 10, to the consideration
only Of the legaiZation OF beer, repeal
of the eighteenth amendment and such
other matters as may be placed before
the General Assembly by the Governor
in writing" appears to have been sue
cessful, Senator Tuck said today.
While the members are not permitted
prior to the session to bind themselves,
it was said, only a majority vote is
necessary to pass resolution limiting
the business Of the session and this
majority seems to be assured.
In accordance with request from
Senator Tuck that they address tele-
grams requesting the special session to
the Governor, all Of the first having
been sent TO Senator Tuck, 10 members
of the House Of Delegates and ~ mem
bers OF the Senate, more than the two
thirds necessary to call the session over
the Governors head, had today trans
mitted their desire directly to the Chief
Executive.
Waits For Letters.
The formal call, however. will not be
issued until the Governor has had re-
plies in the form of letters signed by
the members, these signatures being re-
CURED by the constitution to force the
calling of the special session. This,
however, was said to be only matter
of form, the Governor being satisfied
that the session must be held.
State Senator w. Worth Smith,
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor, and Delegate Berk-
eley C. Adams Of Charlotte County are
attempting to upset the limitation plans
by insisting that the special session
consider the reduction of automobile
tags to IS, the reduction of the tax
burden and the handling of delinquent
tax legislation.
Senator Tuck declared that II the
session got involved in these matters
and in redistricting. as has been advo-

Soviet Foreign Office Announces Free
ing of Bri6shers.

SOVIET FOIe9Sn OmCc AHHOnuCoD Tiec
ing of Briishers.
MOSCOW, July l R.-The Soviet
foreign office announced tonight that
the two Metropolitan -Vickers engineers,
l.. c. Thornton and w. L. Macdonald,
who were serving prison terms Tor
espionage and sabotage, have been re-
leased under a communication of SEN
tence granted by the Central Executive
Committee.
The two British engineers were
ordered to leave the Soviet Union.
The two men were released this eve
ming, and at the same time the COM
missariat for foreign trade announced
the lifting Of economic reprisals against
Great Britain which had been imposed
after the British government placed an
embargo on Soviet goods.
An official announcement said that
these actions were taken following revo-
cation by the British government OF the
embargo which was declared immedi-
ately after Thornton and Macdonald
were sentenced.
How long the baniShment order gave
the British subjects to leave the coun-
try was not stated, but it was assumed
to be 48 hours.
The announcement added that ne
gotiations for conclusion of a new trade
agreement with England, broken OF
when the Metropolitan -Vickers work
men were arrested IN March, would be
renewed Monday.
Released at HOS PM.
Macdonald and Thornton were re-
leased from Solkolniki Prison at II :08
pm, the exact minute the official an
nouncement was issued despite the fact
that the word they had been freed was
generally known throughout the day.
Both seemingly were in much better
physical condition than during their
trial. They were taken directly from
the prison to the British embassy, where
they had a late dinner and where they
spent the night.
They planned to leave for London by
night train Sunday by way Of Berlin.
1T Is good to be out" they said as
newspaper men met them IN the
embassy.
I'VE have no plans for the future
beyond getting home as quickly as we
can and seeing our directors" said
Thornton, who acted as spokesman for
the two while sitting on billiard table
in the embassy card room.
I'VE cannot discuss anything con-
corning the trial or arrest until after
we have talked with our ofice at home"
added Thornton, halting questions Of
the newspaper men concerning Mac
Donald's action in pleading guilty and
his later unsuccessful attempt to with
draw that plea.

ing as Tourist Commun-

MORRISON, Colo, July s.
(UP).--At least a dozen lives
were lost yesterday as a sudden
mountain cloudburst poured a TO-
foot wall of water down Bear
Greek Canyon upon a string of
resort towns and fishing cabins.
Two towns, Morrison and Star
buck, were almost wiped out as
the torrential flood struck. Scores
of cabins along the canyon be-
tween the two points were de-
stroyed.
Property damage ran into the
hundreds of thousands Of dollals
Every bridge along the canyon
between Morrison and Starbuck
was washed out, and long stretch
es Of the road itself were de.
stroyed. Hundreds of head of
livestock were drowned.
Three bodies had been reCov-
cred, but no identification had
been made. One was the body of
a child, which was found near the
body of woman of about 80,
presumably its mother. The other
was that of a young woman, about
.25.
Known missing and believed
dead were:
Mrs. Sylvia Soderstrom. 33, of
Morrison.
Eunice. her daughter. 4.
w. L. Burton, of Starbuck.
Ben Corbi, his brother.
Reports from Starbuck, reached
on foot by rescue party from
here after all telephone lines had
failed, said that the town was a
SHAMELESS, and that at least nine
persons in all were missing.
Not one house in the town,
where ordinarily about $50 per-
sons live. was untouched, 1t was
said. Debris lay in the streets,
and shattered automobiles were
all along the stream.
From Starbuck to Morrison, re-
turning members Of the party
said, wrecked cars were numer-
Gus, with no traces of their occu-
pants to be found.
Patrols were organized from
citizens of Morrison. Drinking
water was hauled five miles in
milk cans, the town waterworks
having been destroyed.
But dusk fell upon a scene of
indescribable confusion, as new
rain added to the discomfort of
the homeless.
In the streets lay a weller of
wrecked household goods, of dead
livestock, of shattered plate glass
windows, and even the brick walls
of the towns staunchest business
buildings.
Women and children stood hud-
died in little groups, many Of
them homeless, their clothing,
their food, their every personal
possession swept away by the
flood.
There was scant shelter from
