LIQUOR REPORT
READY FOR FIR.
President Will Base Rec.
concentrations To Con-
gress On Findings
WASHINGTON. Oct. IA. CUP

WASHINGTON. Oct. IA. (UP)
President Roosevelt's advisers
completed yesterday comprehen-
sive survey of liquor questions
likely to arise after repeal OF pro-
hibition, and were prepared to
submit specific recommendations
on control and taxation:
The report, as explained by
Undersecretary of Treasury Ache
son, who directed the preparation,
covers the entire situation, includ-
ing social problems, taxation and
economic possibilities. The Presi-
dent, on the basis of the report,
will suggest specific legislation to
the next session of congress.
Acheson would not reveal de-
tails of the survey but indicated
it contained recommendations Of
specific taxes to be imposed OH
liquor, estimates of consumption,
protection of dry states, and legal
questions raised by the fact that
the 18th would be the first amend
ment ever repealed. Many of
these problems will be ruled upon
by Attorney General Cummings.
Associated in the report were
officials of the treasury, justice,
commerce and state departments.
The latter submitted information
bearing on a possible flood of for
eign liquors in event of repeal and
securing of reciprocal trade agree
ments with foreign countries de-
string to sell their product in the
American market.
Not only were recommendations
! made for a permanent legislative
program, but control and taxation
measures were set forth for the
period between expected repeal
on December 5 and the next ses-
sion of congress beginning in JAN
uary, assuming that no special ses-
sion is called to pass liquor laws:
Unofficially it was understood
! that a considerable boost in tax
rates over those in effect prior to
prohibition, was planned. Tariffs
might be lifted to give the new
American distilling and wine-mak-
ing industry a chance to develop
and provide work and stimulus to
American industry.
The current $1.10 a gallon tax
on liquors is expected to be raised

NRA'S ACTION
ON Z POLICIES
IS POSTPONED
Pricing And Revised Re-
tail Codes Held Up
Temporarily

WASHINGTON, Oct. ID. (UP)
Two of the most serious problems
now confronting the recovery pro-
gram were scheduled for action
yesterday, but decisions in both
cases were postponed as recovery
officials moved cautiously to avoid
dangerous complications.
The National Labor board de-
layed until next week its decision
on what action to take against
nine Kentucky coal mine operators
who ignored summonses to explain
charges that they had discharged
miners for joining the United
Mine Workers.
Recovery Administrator Hugh
S. Johnson, after announcing that
he would reveal late in the day
the attitude which the entire adj
ministration would take toward
retail price fixing. reversed his
plans because of delay in receiv-
ing AN important communication
and decided to wait a while be-
fore acting on the general retail
code, the retail grocery code, and
the retail drug code and other
agreements involving stop loss
provisions.
There were some indications
that the communication" which
Johnson failed to receive was
White House approval of COM
promise price fixing plan reported
to have been agreed upon by him,
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
and Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministrator Peek.
Both these problems are rec0g-
nized privately by recovery Off
Gals as involving a distinct threat
to success of the NRA program.
Decisions in both matters were
awaited anxiously, but meanwhile
the administration made progress
in efforts to straighten out other
tangles confronting it.
President Roosevelt was repre-
scented as feeling, for instance,
that substantial progress was be-
ing made in efforts to adjust Diff
ferences between Pennsylvania
coal miners and the steel corpora
lions which own Captive mines"
Administrator Johnson, speaking
more definitely, said he considered
that the miners would be obstruct-
ing recovery if they did not re-
turn to work now that operators
had agreed to voluntary check
off system for collecting union
dues.
The National Labor board,
though delaying action on the
Kentucky mine situation, assumed
jurisdiction over seven strikes and
ordered public hearings next
week.
The board delayed action in
the Kentucky case because it real
lied that whatever it did would
set a precedent, and it wished to
be sure of its ground. The board
believes it has power to force the
mine owners to appear to present
their case.

DEBT FARLEY
PROGRESSING
Britons Lay Scheme OF
Approach Before Amer
lean Negotiators
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD
Press Staff Correspondent

!. WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. (UP)
Anglo-American war debt CONVEX
sations progressed yesterday to
stage where the British considered
it opportune to lay before the
American negotiatorS ever a
means of approach to a settle
ment.
Under Secretary of Treasury
Acheson. chief American negotla-
tor, said following the conference,
however, that the British had laid
down no concise plan for Ameri-
can reduction of their S4,3OO,-
100000 obligation. Another meet
ing of the negotiators was sched-
uled tentativel yfor next Tuesday.
Altho Acheson revealed little
about what took place in the two
hour session at the treasury de-
partment, there were indications
that the talks have advanced into
a stage where the negotiators are
coming to grips with their prob
lem.
One of the indications was Ach-
eson's reluctance to reveal details
of the conference, as he had done
after previous meetings.. The al
ministration has taken the stand
that discussion of the details OF
the proposed debt settlement IN
the newspapers would initiate
against an agreement.
Regardless of what particular
approach to the debt problem was
discussed yesterday, it is known
that the following two solutions
are being considered by the Brit
ish:
l. A "lump sum" payment de-
signed to wipe the debts complete
" off the political slate and place
them in the field of commercial
obligations. 1t is understood that
S1,OOO,OOO,OOO K been consid-
cred as a just cash settlement,
This would be approximately ~
per cent of the principal OF the
debt plus interest for the next %
years, the term the present settle
ment has to run. The money
would be raised by bond issue
to be fioated by the British gov
eminent on the American market.
2. A series of token" pay
ments following the present sched-
| ule of debt installments but con-
siderably smaller than those pro
vided in the Baldwin debt settle
ment of 1928.
American officials have declined
70 indicate whether either of these
forms of settlement would be sat
isfactory. In fact they brand all
reports of specific formulas as
"mere speculation. The United
Press is informed, however, that
the two plans of payment cited
above have, at least, received the
serious consideration of the Brit
ish government and almost Ger
tainly figure in the discussions
here.
