MANUFACTURE AND SALE Of
BEER BILL GETS APPROVAL
House Passes Measure By Overwhelming
Majority With Favorable Senate Action
Expected Before End Of Week.

WASHINGTON, March IA. UP)-
Roaring galleries and a wildly ap-
plauding membership today saluted
overwhelming house passage OF the
Cullen beer-for revenue bill.
In their sweeping victory anti
prohibitionists rolled up the ire
mendous vote of 316 to 81. They
completely smothered all opposi-
ton. The few votes against the
bill came largely from the mid
west. Scattering help was given
from Georgia, Arkansas and few
other southern states.
The bill went quickly to the
senate, where it was referred
promptly to the senate finance
committee.
The house acted with rush of
enthusiasm after President Roose-
yelt sent his short and unexpected
message to congress yesterday The
President asked immediate modifi-
cation of the Volstead act to open
a new flow of revenue into a de-
pleted treasury, and the house
whooped through the beer bill with
only perfunctory debate.
The law becomes effective Is days
otter being signed by the President.

SENATE WILL
SUPPORT BILL
Democrats To Uphold Presi-
dents Economy Measure But
Will Permit Amendments.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Marcn IA
Senate Democrats in caucus today
bound themselves TO support the
Presidents $5O0,000000 economy
bill but left themselves free to move
as they please on amendments to
it.
Under the caucus agreement it
appeared that Democrats could
vote materially to reduce the po-
oential saving proposed by the
President.
Senate Majority Leader Robinson
said after the caucus that the DEM
ocratS had bound themselves to
support the credit of the United
States but that no action was TAX
en- barring the amendments to the
bill"
Senator McGill Dem.) Kansas,
revealed that quite a number" of
senators had announced in the
caucus that they would not bind
themselves to vote for the bill with
out notifications in it.
The effect of the latitude given
Democratic senators is uncertain
1t would appear that a series of
amendments might nibble away the
proposed economies. The house
Saturday passed the bill exactly as
approved by Mr.. Roosevelt.
Democratic leaders were not dis
heartened by the caucus refusal tc
bar all but committee amendments
TO the bill. The United Press wa.
Informed that it was not believed
amendments would materially re.
duce the proposed economies. 1t is
understood that the leaders have
sufficient votes to defeat the Am
erican Legion's suggestion that the
reduction be limited to 25 per cent
Amendment to authorize the
President to permit aging Spanish
American war veterans to remain
on the pension roll merely for SER
vice instead of requiring some de-
gree of disability appeared likely
to be adopted. Another with a
good chance would modify the pro-
vision of the bill which, as now
written, would suspend all further
court jurisdiction on pending vet
Grams insurance cases.

Mrs. Judd Asks
For Clemency

STATE PRISON, FLORENCE,
Ariz.. March ID. UP) - A grim al
mosphere of foreboding hovered
about Winnie Ruth Judd, con-
demned murderess, despite her ap~
parent cheerfulness as she appeared
before the state board of pardons
and paroles here today to plead
for her life.
Marching at the side of a prison
matron, Mrs. Judd entered the
small barren room where the hear
ing was to be held, her face trem-
bling with affected smiles while
she attempted to calm her agita-
ton.
I'm quite confident the hearing
will be favorable to me-" she said
while the board went through the
preliminary procedure before hear
ing her testimony.
She seeks communication of the
death penalty to be administered
on the gallows Good Friday, April
IA, unless the board should act.
Her main plea is that she acted in
f-defense when she killed Agnes
Ann LIE Roi and Hedvig Samuel

DOHENY FACES
DAMAGE SUIT
Continued On Page 81

LOS ANGELES, March IA. W.H-
Suit for more than S13,000,0 900 dam
ages will be filed against E. L. Do
heny, multimillionaire oil man, by
w. c. McDuffie. receiver for the
Richfield Oil company, within a
short time, it was announced today.
The federal court gave McDuffie
permission to sue Doheny as for
mer owner of the Pan-American
Petroleum company, since taken
over by Richield.
The Elk Hills oil scandal of 1928
which resulted in the conviction of
Albert B. Fall, former secretary of
the interior, is the basis for the
planned suit, McDuffie said.
He argued that the courts had
held the loss of the leases by the
government to the Pan-American
company was due to illegal acts of
Doheny and Fall. Richfield, hav-
ing taken over Pan-American,
should sue Doheny to recover the
lost assets, McDuffie claimed.
In a recent decision, the supreme
court ordered the Pan-American
company to return to the govern
ment $9,277 666, representing the
value of petroleum products taken
from leases in Elk HILLS. This sum,
with an estimated lease value of
S5 ,00O, 900, will be sought from Do
heny.

DISTRICT BOARD DEADLOCKED
ON SELECTION OF PRESIDENT

Unable to reach an agreement
as to which board member should
serve as president, directors of the
Imperial Irrigation district early
this afternoon elected Burleigh
Adams president pro tenn.
F. H. McIver, who has been Sec
retary of the board since 1916,

Macdonald May
Visit Mussolini

GENEVA, March ID. U.P)-Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald of
England may visit Rome to confer
with Premier Mussolini in an effort
to save the rapidly crumbling arms
conference, it was learned today.
Increasing tension throughout
Europe since the rise to full power
of the HitleriteS in Germany has
resulted in renewed efforts to res
cue the conference.
Decisions intended to leave Ger
many with no possible excuse for
re-arming we're confidently expect
ed to be reached here before the
end of the week.
Should such decisions be under
taken without the most careful
preparation and establishment of a
united front, the action might
mean the complete collapse of the
conference. Meanwhile, statesmen
have displayed concern over evi-
dences of sympathy between the
governments of Italy and Ger
many, both under Fascist control.

declared it was his conviction that
al directors were in favor of building
the canal at once and he saw no
reason for wasting time over dis
agreements. He at once was nomi-
mated as chairman pro tenn and
received an unanimous vote.
When he took the chair he said
he would accept but would make
no speech and hoped he would not
be assasSinated.
1t was impossible to ascertain
the lineup Of the board by study
of the votes cast today The IA
nous three and two" vote was not
apparent and many surprise votes
were cast when directors voted in
unexpected harmony or variance.
Carl Brown of Holtville brought
greetings and best wishes to the
board from Holtville and said resi-
dents Of that division wanted the
All-American canal built and the
quicker it was built the better they
would like it,"
Adams will serve as chairman pro
tenn until the beard elects a perma-
nent president.
Following the election, the board
resumed its routine duties.
A large audience was present TO
witness proceedings with residents

the economy bill, now pending be-
fore it.
WASHINGTON, March Ia. U.P)-
Legalization of 80 per cent beer
was approved today by an over
whelmingly wet house of represent
atives.
The chamber passed the Cullen
beer bill and sent it on to a friend
ly senate. Legislative leaders,
spurred by President Roosevelt's
message asking immediate modifi-
cation Of the Volstead act to pro-
vide a new source of revenue. have
joined in pledging final congress-
ional action before the end of the
week.
Perfunctory debate preceded the
vote. Prohibitionists conceded there
was no chance Of stopping passage,
while -prohibitionists delivered
eulogies of the merits Of dark" or
eight brown" brew.
If the senate matches the speed
of the house, beer, porter and ale
will be saleable legally throughout
the United States within 20 days.
Word from former brewing centers
indicates preparation for quick ac-
tivity once the bill becomes law.
The measure provides for legali-
cation of beer, lager, ale and porter
of not more than 80 per cent al
colohlic by weight.
Othe major provisions include a
$5 barrel federal tax and a $1,000
license fee for every brewery.
Advocates of the measure claim
these taxing provisions will result
in a minimum federal revenue of
$l50,000,0 900 for the first year of op-
erations. This revenue and govern
mental savings carried in the Roos-
evelt economy bill now pending in
the senate, the administration be-
leveS, will provide successful bal
ancing of the federal budget.
The beer bill applies to the en-
tire continental United States, with
the exception of the District of
Columbia, and also to insular pos
sessions affected by the present
prohibition laws.
Dry states which do not desire
manufacture or sale of the pre-
prohibition beverages within their

WAR RUMORS
STIR EUROPE
French Greatly Alarmed By Re-
cent Developments In Germany
Indicating Republics Fall.
By RALPH HEINZEN
United Press Staff Correspondent


PARIS, March IA. U.P)-The
dreaded word war" reyerberated
once again today through Europe.
Hidden talk and whispering has
suddenly burst into the open and
the papers are universally discuss
ing the topic as if it were an immi-
nent possibility. Even the staid
English journals are betraying agi-
tation.
The situation came to head with
the Fascist ascendancy IN Germany,
the activities of Nazi troops in the
demilitarized zone of he Rhine
land, and general fear that Ger
many would wreck the arms con-
ference, repudiate the limitations
of the Versailles treaty and start
re-arming.
The trend of opinion in France
is illustrated by the following ex-
tracts from press comment:
LIE Journal: I'm July, 1914, the
then war minister, Messlmy, warned
the senate that France was indulg-
ing in chimeras of universal peace.
Only last March Deputy Ybarne-
garay warned the chamber that
France has been asleep militarily
since 1918. Today we are again
fattening ourselves on chimeras of
pacifiSin at a time when we are
confronted by the death of the
German republic, symbolized in
Sundays jingoistic manifestations
in Berlin, which should open our
eyes"
Figaro: THE Rhineland tactics of
the Nazis are an open violation of
the Versailles treaty. In times past,
France was able to depend for n
base OF security on the pronounce
ments of Geneva internationalists.
While Frenchmen do not desire
war, they also welcome Premier
Daladier's assertion last night that
the safest guarantee of peace con-
sists Of Anglo-French unity"
LIE Matin Gn a dispatch from
Berlin: The moment has arrived
when the French must realize 1t Is
most imprudent to ignore the In-
derlying spirit of Germany"
Journel des Oebats: The Nazi
demonstrations on Saturday and
Sunday should serve TO persuade
unloelievers in Europe that Ger
many's military effectives are now
at least doubled, and they are also
manufacturing ten times the heavy
artillery and machine guns permit
ted By the treaty"
QIotidie: Despite the serious
ness of the situation across the
Rhine, irresponsible talk of war is
most dangerous"
LIE Temps: THE Hitlerite inva-
sion of the demilitarized Rhineland
is a violation for which common
sense dictates France and England
need to act in concert to safe
guard the peace Of the world"
