 Half the states remain dry. Of the others, most have enacted con- tro1 measures of varying provis- ions, reinforcing federal regula- tion which will be exercised at least until congress acts by the federal alcohol control administra- tion. It already has begun to fun ction under Chairman Joseph H | Choate, Jr.
 In a statement briefly touching on policy, Choate reiterated that hard liquors would be dfscrimi- mated against in favor of light wines and beers.
 Brewers Have Code
 Accordingly, no provisions for permits, plant control or produc- tion limits, such as were imposed on distillers, were contained in q code for brewers formally ap- proved by President Roosevelt last night. Brewers were required to submit, however, to drastic label HE duu UIdHuiHS PiONiSAoAAS, Choate revealed.
 Choate paid high tribute to pr J. M. Doran, who resigned as in- dustrial alcohol commissioner on the eve of repeal to become di- rector of the Association of the Distilled Spirits Industry which will administer the distillers' code. Before retiring Doran suggested the treasury give domestic owners of illicit liquor 15 days in which to declare their possession of such contraband and pay the tax of $1.1O a gallon thus legalizing it.. No action was taken on the sug- gestion.
 Discuss Problems Acting Secretary Of Treasury Morgenthau, Secretary of Agricul- tures Wallace, and Choate discussed repeal problems with President | Roosevelt. Later Morgenthau an- nounced the Bureau of Industrial Alcohold would be consolidated with the Internal Revenue Bureau tonight.

 Mike Goggin's "Rovers" thrash ed bill Kelley's "Flashes" S4-29.

 James Farrell's "Spark-Plugs" defeated Frank Mulcunry's NRA'S' in another 34-29 battle, taking two hours and a quarter to play, and being such a slow game, that one of the spectators remarked: Wake me up when the contest is over." The slowness of the game was no fault of Edward Boylan, FarrelPs coach, who made things lively enough in the last hand, when he nailed the jack with the five of trumps slamming the table with such force, that it send a cloud of splinters in all directions. It would be no exaggeration to say, that the sound could almost be heard close to Eds old home town in Abbey Lace.
 Hurrah! Bob McHugh's Bear cats'' finally won another game at the expense of Mickey Craney's "Cracker-Jacks" with a close score of 32-21. Bob doesn't care where he winds up in the tournament, as long as he finishes ahead of Mickey who he is nosing up on slowly, but surely.

 The delegates are determined that the Pennsylvania and Ohio ratifying conventions shall have voted before the Utah ballot is cast. Some of the leaders want the keynote speech of Ritter and the ballot proceedings to be broadcast by a radio chain over a National hook-up.
 Ritter, while refusing to admit 8 recess was planned, said Utah would do anything necessary, even to delaying proceedings until mid night, to win the coveted S6th state ratification honor. Other delegates refused to either confirm or deny the recess report. Not to Lose Honor 1T am sorry that our plans may upset the starting time of celebra- tions in eastern centers, but we are !! not going to lose this honor," Ri- ter declared.

 Pennsylvania's hotels and res- taurants claim they are well equipped to meet all demands of their patrons for a gin buck, a straight whiskey or a Manhattan cocktail in celebrating the passing of the dry era.
 Prices will be about same as in the average prohibition speakeasy with cocktails from 35 to 40 cents, straight whiskeys 25 cents and highballs 25 to 40 cents.

While House subcommittee considers

the perplexing problem Of local control.

Virginia's Legislature does not meet

looms large right now in the Old

new House Of Delegates due for election
and the preliminary revel berations of

Beer Bill Introduced.
The first of an anticipated series of
Maryland beer bills was introduced last
week at Annapolis by Senator David G
Mcintosh, ir., Of Baltimore County. 1t
Is the fifth prohibition measure pre-
Sented to the Assembly, the others in
cluding proposed appeal to Congress
to authorize constitutional conventions
to vote on repeal and bills calling for
such a convention in Maryland, reduc-
ing the beer and wine dealers license
fee in Baltimore and nberalizing free
lunch" restrictions.
L.
Senator Mcintosh are conceded to be
essential. Delegate F. Murray Ben
son of Baltimore City, a leading dry
declared off the floor that an increase
in the multiplicity of liquor and beer
bills may be expected to appear "as a
smoke screen" during the current ses-
sion whenever the legislators get too
close to the paramount issue Of the
times-the cost of government"
The Mcintosh bill would revise the
licensing laws of Baltimore County so
that old-time bars, such as existed prior
to prohibition. would be unlawful The
measure was referred to the Temperance
Committee.
1t is intended to supplement a
statute which applied prior to the pas
sage Of the prohibition amendment. and
which Mr. Mcintosh feared might not
cover or per cent beer. 1t reduces
the license fees in places where beer
only is sold from $400 to 5000 ana cuts
the brewers license fees from $500 to
$1,000.
Senator Mcintosh said the bill will
take care Of legitimate restaurants
hotels, clubs and cafes by prohibiting
the sale of beer. wine or liquor except
in establishments where food also is
sold. 1t will force saloons to tear down
their bars. but permit them to operate

eenth amendment or the Volstead act.
They are still in effect.
THE license laws of Baltimore City
apply to beer over per cent alcoholic
content, so II Congress liberalized the
VolStead act by authorizing beer of
more than 2 per cent alcoholic con-
tent, as the Collier bill does, then there
seems to be no doubt that the old
licensing system would be revived and
effective in Baltimore. and that such
beer could not be sold there with the
license prescribed.
Applies TO Others.
"The same would appear to be the
case In those counties of the State
which have license laws, although the
provisions Of these laws differ
1T has always seemed to me that the
Maryland plan Of local option was the
best that could be devised to deal with
this entire subject, and in view Of the
possibility Of the early passage by Con-
gress OF some measure liberalizing the
Volstead act with regard to beer would
think 1t advisable for the representa-
tives of Baltimore City and the various
counties to give consideration to the
character Of local laws their people
want In the event that Congress does
pass such legislation"
Virginia has a prohibition law Of its
own, which was passed two years prior
to national prohibition and carrying
penalties that have been adopted or
amended from time to time to parallel
in most respects the penalties pro-
vided under Federal prohibition. In
this way the State has retained for its
own use most of the revenues derived
from prohibition enforcement.
Even before Virginia went dry, how
ever, both Arlington and Fairfax COun-
ties had local option. hence 1t has been
many years since anything of an alco-
holic nature has been legally sold In
the section adjoining Washington. The
local option ordinances of the two
counties adopted upon the vote of the
people, have been repealed by the State
law, 1t was said by State Senator John
