port was that the United States would

with Colombia and Brazil.
Although the allotments granted were
only about 10 per cent of the quantity
requested, importers praised the speed
with which the permits were being ap-
proved.
They attributed the sharp reduction
in quantity on the initial allotments to

A quota has been allotted for imports

Reed amendment Repeal

BY the Associated Press.
A law-respecting but much pestered
Post Office Department yesterday looked
hopefully toward early repeal of the
Reed liquor advertising amendment,
even as it prepared to send out enforce
ment instructions to its 47,872 post
Offices.

with the task, as he delved into the
subject of whether he should add

should be barred.
introduced as Joke.
Sixteen years ago Senator James
Reed of Missouri. an avowed wet, in
ioking spirit introduced the amendment
which fOrbidS mailing Of liquor ADS
into dry territory, but the Senate took
measure.
This ancient measure. bottled up In
the archives all through the dry era,
has popped out with impending repeal.
Under it, Postmaster General Farley
becomes chief enforcement officer.
However, Farley has gone to Europe.
and his first assistant, Joseph G.
O'Mahoney, soon to be Senator, has
the job.
Because of the Reed amendment,
publishers have been getting their heads
together to list the States where liquor
ads may unquestionably go as against
the Post Office list Of where they may
not.
Editions May Be Changed.
Newspapers after the Tuesday arrival
of repeal will solve the question by
publishing different editions for the dry
States. Magazines. however. will have
a more difficult task.
One New York magazine already is
going to out-of-town newsstands with
blank white space where the liquor ads
used to be. A fruit juice advertisement

was legal, observed that it:

debate of an hour and half on the
Wilson School resolution during which
Engineer Commissioner John c. Got
walls and his two former civilian col

Peoples Wishes Unheeded.
Various speakers accused them OF
falling to heed the wishes Of the peo-
pie, particularly in the dispute as to a
cupaio on the Taft Junior High School
and Of long delays not only in construc-
ton work, but also in repair and re-
modelling work on existing school build

the Board of Education, suggested that
some of the remodeling be let out at
private contract, rather than have the
District repair shop do the work so late
in the Summer recess as to have work
men still working on buildings at which
children are attending school. William
NICK. Clayton said the practice OF as

MARYLAND Legislature Works on Measure
for Liquor Control
While the Maryland Legislature was

troll law the repeal of prohibition next mex
Tuesday will find Washington ana VIZ
ginia still bone dry. -,
In washington the Volstead law Will
still be in operation under decision
of the Department of Justice, that 1t is
effective until specifically repealed by
Congress.
Across the Potomac in Virginia, a
State bone dry law will remain In ef-
feet until the next General Assembly
acting under a recent mandate OF tne
voters, adopts liquor control act. ine
Legislature will not convene until Janu-
ary IT, and it is possible that the con-
troll law will not become effective until
the middle of next June.
Utah to Act at Noon.
Utah will sound the death knell OF the
eighteenth amendment when lts con-
vention meets Tuesday at noon, Rocky
Mountain time, or 2 pm. Eastern Stan
dard time, to ratify the twenty first, or
repeal amendment.
This action by the thirty-sixth State
will constitute the last technical step
in abolishing the eighteenth amend
ment and in wiping the Volstead act
from the books of every jurisdiction
except the District Of Columbia, Alaska
and territorial possessions.
In Washington there will be in force
not only the Volstead law, but certain
sections of the Sheppard law.
There will be public hearing before
DiStrict nPxt Eriday
on a proposed liquor control law for
the District, drawn up by Corporation
Counsel Bride and his assistants.
This bill, on which hearings will be
held later by the Senate District Com
mittee, would repeal the Volstead and
Sheppard laws, but would retain Sec
tions of the latter act containing pro-
visions against drinking on public
property and driving an automobile
while intoxicated.
Sale Would Be Limited.
Whisky and other hard liquors, wines
and beer, under this proposal, could be
sold by the glass only in hotels, res
taurants, incorporated clubs. passenger
vessels and railroad club and dining
cars.
Retail licenses would permit the sale
OF nara liquor IN SedleQ containers Dy
one group of licensees, the sale Of beer
in sealed containers by another group,
sale of beer for consumption on the
premises in eating places and hotels by
another group and sale of hard liquors
and other beverages by still another
group, none of the licensed groups
being permitted on the type Of business
of the other licensees.
The old-time saloon bar would be
banned.
The Commissioners would be given
broad powers to make regulations gov
erning the amount of liquor dispensed
by licensees and restricting sale in
other ways, as deemed necessary.
Licenses would be issued and revoked
by an Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board. named by the Commissioners
and having on its membership one
woman.

Maryland House Meets Today
In Hope of Passing Rum Bill

With $50 amendments Fails as Dele
gates Vote to adjourn Till Noon.

Congress will not have a chance to
act on this bill for some time after 1t
convenes, on January 3 next As the
measure now stands legal sales in the
District probably would not be possible
before April 1.
Legal liquor undoubtedly will have
been flowing in Maryland long before
that.
Rufus s. Lusk. for two years national
legislative Officer Of the Crusaders, re-
peal organization, yesterday criticized
tween the Commissioners and the AL
cohol1c Beverage Control Board, as pro-
vided in the Bride bill. He said this
might breed trouble"
1T must be remembered" Lusk stated,
that the making of regulations is just
as important as the issuance of licenses.
1t must be remembered that at some
time the drawing of particular rule
may permit or prevent the issuance of
license over which there will be fight
to the finish. The board and the Com
mlSSlonerS may disagree over this regu-
lation. Again the board may pass the
buck to the Commissioners in the mat
ter OF proposing or opposing certain reg
ulations. All this will make for divided
authority. confusion and failure.
Sees Authority Diffused.
while it is not contained In the draft
bill, there have been several reports in
the press that the Commissioners may
ask for authority to review the acts of
the board in granting or refusing to
grant licenses. This would make the
board purely an advisory one. 1t would
also make for further buck passing and
scattering of authority. And of even
more Importance, the issuance of licenses
would be subject to more or less political
pressure, since the Commissioners are
usually political appointees.
1T is to be hoped that the bill as
passed by Congress will either make the
control board supreme or else that the
Commissioners will exercise all author
ity, accept all responsibility and merely
appoint board or Commissioner to act
as technical adviser"
