SINGLE LICENSE
FOR BEER, RUM
ADVOCATED
Group Reported Seeking UNI
versaI Permit As Assembly
Prepares to Meet

ANNAPOLIS. Nov. 21.-While
Governor Ritchie today was pre-
pairing his message to be delivered
to the General Assembly when it
meets here Thursday, reports were
current that a group Of Baltimore
city members are seeking support
of a provision in the liquor control
proposal that would put beer and
liquor under one license.
In announcing his liquor control
plan several days ago, the gov
ernor suggested separation of beer
ON liquor and wines, although
offered an alternate proposal
which would put natural wines in
the classification of beer.
If beer and liquor we're to be
sold under the same license it
would prevent the sale of beer
by confectioneries, restaurants
and similar establishments for
consumption on the premises, and
would permit it's sale only under
proposed tavern license or at
hotels, clubs or restaurants hold
ing the high-priced licenses which
will be required for dispensing
liquor.

SEWER PROJECT.
To Be VOTED
ON TODAY
Measure Would Employ Over
1000 Men and Relieve
County of Back Taxes

Arlington county, Va, residents
today are determining if they
want to borrow $2,50O,OO0 from
the U. S. Government to build a
countrywide sewerage disposal sys-
tenn. Polls in the special referen-
dunn election will close at 4:49
p. m. today.
A majority of officials in the
county expresse the opinion
early today that the issue would
carry. The margin, however, will
be rather small, they felt.
Work for 1000 Men
Under provisions of the project
at least 1000 men will be en-
ployed for a period of two years.
A minimum wage scale of 43
cents per hour will be estab-
lished for laborers and $1.10 for
skilled labor.
The county will be able to bor-
row the money from the Public
Works Administrator at 4 per cent
per annum over a 30-year period.
A grant of 80 per cent of the
cost of labor and material will
be given by the Government.
Would Aid Treasury
Officials estimated the hiring Of
the county's unemployed on the
project would bring into the
county treasury eventually more
than 100000 worth of delinquent
taxes of which large percentage
will go to schools.
Chairman Harry A. Fellows, of
the county board, said early to-
day:
"We will win the election.

things that ever happened to

Officials of the Soviet govern

BUDGET SLASH
ALARMS j. 8.
WORKERS
Prospective Reductions Held
Certain to Cause More
Personnel Cuts
By DUNCAN FORSYTH

Federal employees were appre-
hensive today over prospective
serious cuts, in the new budget,
which, according to the best in
formation now available, will re-
duce Government expenses by 81
per cent during the coming year.
Financial experts in the Govern
ment employ, who had no def
mite information beyond the gen.
eral announcement that consider
able cuts would be made, were OF
the opinion that barring some yet
unrevealed means of moving funds
back and forth between the or
dinary and extraordinary budgets,
further curtailment of Govern
ment services and of working
staffs would be necessary.
Even in those units which ap-
pear to have Jared best under the
new proposals, it was said that
rather serious problems would be
presented. At the best, it would
be necessary to continue the
policy of filling no vacancies, and
of adding to the work OF employees.
In agencies where a cut as great
as 80 per cent must be maze, 1t
was felt that drastic curtallments
would be necessary
Two plans were thought pos
sible in connection with the bud
get estimates. First was the view
that Congress would probably
add considerably to the program
the budget authorities now ap-
pear to have in mind. In other
words, it was felt that budget
estimates might have been made
Intentionally low, to give Con-
gress a chance to add consider
ably to them without running
into serious difficulties.
The second thought advanced
was that there might be further
govern mental reorganizations,
and further interchange of funds
between the regular and emer-
gency budgets.
An unpleasant possibility in this
second theory was that more
government workers might be
placed on temporary status, by
paying them from public works
or other emergency funds, a
course which would open the way
to their replacement by political
appolntees.

! IN SECRET
Somerset Prosecutor in Fear
OF Exposing Hand" He
Tells Attorney General

CRISFIELD. Md, Nov. 81.
Flatly refusing to make the ar
rests requested by Attorney Gen
eral William Preston Lane, jr., in
the Armwood lynching case, States
Attorney John B. Robins. OF Som
erSet county, has announced he
will ask the court to recall the
grand jury before which he will
present evidence.
Meanwhile, an announcement
from the three judges of the lower
Eastern Shore circuit, who met
yesterday to take up the matter,
was awaited.
Try To Get Somewhere"
When they emerged from their
meeting yesterday, the judges
would say nothing more than:
eve are trying to see If we
can't get somewhere and work
out some plan of action"
They said they will confer with
Robins before making any further
announcement.
In writing to Mr.. Lane that he
positively refused to order the ar
rest of the nine persons who
Lane alleged participated in the
lynching and reques ed be
brought before a magistrate.
Robins said if the attorney gen.
@ral did not join him in his pro
posal to lay the matter secretly
before the grand jury, without
first making any arrests, ne
(Robins) would proceed alone" i"
Fears Injury To Case
Robins said in his letter to
Lane:
"Tn the first place, con-
Gfder this circuitOuS procedure
lLane's method) inadvisable for
the reason that the case must
ultimately come before the
grand jury, and can see that
the States case might be seri-
Ously affected by this in the
event Of subsequent indict
ments, the State having dis
closed the nature of its evil
dence, which would give those
accused a better opportunity to
prepare defenSes.
"To justify this method Of
procedure we must necessarily
presum that the grand jury
will not discharge its duty and
/ also refuse to be a party to
that"
He also suggested that if Lanes
method should be followed the
warrants issued could be prompt

STOCKS DEPRESSED

Market Closes Lower, With

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 20.-The largest
volume and the main tendency of to-
days stock market appeared In the last
half hour.
Early transactions were moderate in
size and gave evidence OF an uninter-
esting session. Fluctuations were small
and infreQuently more than a point.
The general level at the start was lower,
but this was replaced by some improve
ment in the rails and a steady tone to
the oils, rejecting developments in
Washington concerning the industry,
with a fair amount of strength ex-
hibited in leading issues, such as Amer
ican Telephone, United States Steel,
Allied Chemical, Union Pacific, General
Motors and Atchison.
The market began to waver at the
beginning of the second hour. when
increased selling developed in the rails.
with the motor stocks under mild pres
sure. The oils gave way with the
others. though only to a fractional ex-
tent. The largest declines were In
Eastman Kodak and ]. I. Case. Ameri-
can Telephone dropped over point
from its high level. The market con-
tinued active and at gradual conces-
sions in prices, with the most signtn-
cant losses In the rails due to an ap-
parent disappointment In the car load
ing figures.
The figures Of car loadings reported
today for the week ended May Is
showed an increase Of 7,276 cars over
the week previous and of 1885 cars
over the same week last year.
Trade reports indicated that the
operation of the iron and steel mills
this week had advanced points to
an average Of 40 per cent Of capacity.
This is an increase in the past month
Of nearly 100 per cent and compares
with the low point Of the year of less
than Is per cent. It has been gener-
ally recognized that whenever the steel
industry reaches a 40 per cent level it
is on profit-making basis, although
this obviously depends upon the sched-
ule Of prices obtaining at the time.
Just now production and prices are ris-
ing together, although not at the same
rate.
Prices closed at approximately the
lowest Of the day, with the tape 5
minutes behind the market and senti-
ment bearishly Influenced by the sharp
decline in wheat and corn.
