 According to the D. In. radio report, the Lindberghs were then 4S0 miles off shore. Col Lind bergh had changed his course from PA degre seto 226 degrees, which might swing him 25 miles away from the rocky island of Fernando De Noronha, 125 miles away from Natal.
 The sky was eight-tenths over cast at that time, Mrs Lindberch reported, with unlimited visibility and light wind.
 They started from Bathurst at ? a. m. Greenwich mean time @ D. m. Tuesday EST).
 Their plane was stripped of everything dispensable. Baggage, fuel, food, even water were reduced to what those at Bathurst thought to be dangerous minimum.
 Lindbergh, tall and coldly eff cient, gave the plane final look over before he got into.the pilots cockpit. Mrs Lindbergh, small and in the jodhpurs that have become a uniform for her, looked fit and was supremely confident. They set IA hours as the possible time.
 No sooner had the plane, after a long run down the mouth of the Gambia river, been in the air suffi- ciently long for Mrs Lindbergh to leet out the wireless aerial than she began flashing her messages to the Pan American Airway stations along the putting easter ncoast of South America

NEW. JERSEY TO
 HAVE ITS DRINK
Governor Moore Vetoed Bill But Legislature
 Overruled It Fast

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 6 - (UP)- New Jerseys controversial state liquor control bill became a law early today when the legislature passed it over the veto of Gov. A. Harry Moore.
 The republican majorities in both senate and assembly jammed through the measure, which the governor held was unconstitutional in message to the legislature last night. The senate voted Il to 6, to override the veto, and the house, 32 to 21. Only a majority vote was required.
 The act becomes effective at once and permits legal sale of liquor in the state more than 12 hours. after national repeal became effective. It. removes what was called a "chaotis condition" in which the state was left after repeal with only a patchwork of old laws gov erning the sale and licensing.
 The legislature convened last night and heard the governors veto message. There was little dis cussion and it was apparent the republican majorities had decided on their course of action. Both houses adjourned at 11:55 p. m. and began a new session at 1 a. m. today. That procedure was to comply with a law that prohibits voting on a veto the same legisla- tive day it is received.

New Orleans, La., Dec. 6 - (UP)-Mrs Bolivar b. Kemp will be presented to congress by the Huey P.

 out already this week, the local CWA administration this morning placed an order for 200 more work CTS with the state employment ser- vice, which is handling applications. Sixty men were assigned immedi- ately and the rest will be selected during the day. All of those picked are being notified by mail to report at the Chamber of Com merce building for assignment to definite work.
 An application for 5, men was received Monday, and one for a like amount yesterday. Ex-seryice- men were given early preference, and practically all who were regis tered have been placed.
 The setting of the city's official CWA quota at 1,647 means that an even smaller proportion of jobs will be given than expected. It is uncertain as to just how the an- nouncement will affect the local situatiQn. Strict following of the CWA rules would mean that jobs given welfare cases would number 825, while a like total would be as- signed self-sustaining unemployed. This would mean either the dis missal of about 300 men from the CWA>projects, or an effort to place these men again with the CWA through the regular registration channels.
 Efforts will be made, it is be- lieved, to have the city's quota in creased considerably. but no assur- ance has been given that such an increase will be approved. Accord ing to reports from Hartford. tele- grams were sent to every town and village in the state yesterday an- nouncing official quotas. The wires were sent by Miss Eleanor Little, secretary of the state CWA admin istration.

 The liquor broad is headed by Edward J. Mulrooney, a friend of repeal. Many suspected that the board had been slow in issuing li- censes to avoid the possibility of riotous celebration that might have harmed the repeal cause.
 The entire police department was ordered to war on the speakeasy, but through tacit understanding with beat patrolman the usual pro- lection was extended for last night and in hundreds of speaks prohibit tion was toasted out of existence with bootleg gin. The proprietors were inclined to take the police drive seriously and mostly closed their doors today until they get H- censes.
 New York, Dec 6-UP)-The paddock, bane of the speakeasy's existence during the prohibition era, died with repeal of the 18th amendment so far as New York is concerned, United States Attorney Thomas E. Dewey said today. Dewey disclosed that paddock proceedings against 600 prohibition law violators in the southern dis trict of New York would be dis missed.
 "Violations of the internal re- venue laws, however, will continue to be prosecuted to the best of our ability" Dewey promised. The right to snap a paddock on a restaurant, speakeasy, hotel or club, which violated the prohibition laws was based on the clause pro- hibiting the maintenance of nui- sance. During the year ending June 30. 1880, Dewey pointed out, 620 pad lock writs were issued against Me- tropolitan violators. None has been brought this year since July 1st, he said.
 Mrs Sabin Advises. New York, Dec 6-(UP)-Mrs Charles H. Sabin, acknowledged leader among women for repeal of the 18th amendment, today appeal ed to the American people "to jus | tify by their conduct, the ideals of law and order, temperance and decent social conditione.'
 T am confident that whatever | celebrations ushered in the return of legal liquor, they were short lived, the national chairman of the women's organization of prohibi- ton reform said. "I trust that once the custom of drinking is no longer | shrouded in secrecy, we shall settle down to temperance and modera- tion."
 Fred G. Clark, president of the l Crusaders, national mems organi- zation for prohibition repeal, term ed the wet victory "a double one"
 "We are celebrating x first the final repeal of the 18th amend men and second the first re- peal of any amendment to the con- tsitution," he said. | "The successful and rapid rati- fication by conventions elected for that purpose in the states will serve forever to impress upon organized minorities the fact that, although they may succeed in getting some- hing into he constitution, they can not rejoice that it is here o stay" he added.
 ''It is smart to be legal--but wise are dry" was the blunt comment of Fred A. Victor, state superin- tendent of the Anti-Saloon league of New York.
 Oscar of the Waldorf. perhaps the most famous maitre-d' Hotel of pre- prohibition days, expressed great happiness over repeal"
