ACTION IS SPEEDED
ON D. c. BEER BILL
Path Cleared on Both Sides
of Capital for Sales
Control Here.

The path was cleared on both sides
of the Capitol today for early action
on beer legislation for the District.
The House District Committee will
meet tomorrow at 1O:3o am. to vote
on the Black bill to legaliEe the sale
of 80 per cent beer. and the Senate
District Committee is expected to take
early action on the revised bill OF Sena-
tor Tydings, Democrat, Of Maryland.
Content Fixed at sos.
Senator Tydings' revised bill, intro
duced late yesterday, would fix the al
coholic content at sos per cent by weight
to correspond with the national beer
bill. whereas his original bill for the
District prescribed 80 per cent as the
alcoholic content
The new bill follows the same regu-
latory lines as the previous measure,
except that the Commissioners would
determine the total number of licenses
to be issued and also would consider
the Appropriateness of the location"
In connection with any application for
license.
Mrs. Norton Active.
Representative Mary T. Norton of
New Jersey, chairman of the House
District Committee, said she would
exert every effort to get favorable re-
port by the full committee on the
Black bill. 1t is probable the commit
tee will accept the Tydings bill as a
substitute because of its provisions TO
make the alcoholic content of beer con-
form to that prescribed in the national
beer bill.
Mrs Norton believes the District
beer Dill should be on the House cal
endar in case national legislation Ia en-
acted at this session of Congress.

Warns New York Legislators to Await
Commissions Advice.

ALBANY, N Y, February 21 Ho).-
Fearing that the wet strength might be
split unless most of the delegates to the
State convention to vote on repeal of
the eighteenth amendment were chosen
at large, Gov. Lehman today advised
the Legislature against the enactment
of the Dunnigan Sargent bill, which
was introduced last night. Mr.. Lehman
urged legislators to await recommended
tions from the State Liquor Commits
sion.
In an interview Mr. Lehman voiced
his objection to the provision of the bill
calling for the election of repeal dele
gates by senatorial districts.
The measure which drew MIR. Leh-
mans criticism was sponsored by Sen
ator John j. Dunnigan, Democratic
leader. and Willis H Sargent, Repub-
lican assemblyman.

Others believed it is to be a matter for
the States to determine.

Before the prohibition repeal resolu-
