Army and Navy
Happy; to Get
Their Beer
MRS. ROOSEVELT

The Army and Navy will enjoy
the 80 per cent beer which will
become legal midnight April s, it
was learned on high authority
today.
Under present plans, the Army
posts, naval stores, and canteens
will be permitted to sell the beer.
but sale will not be permitted
aboard ships at sea.
The decision to permit the Army
and Navy to share in the flow OF
beer on April Z and thereafter
was reached by President RooSe-
velt following consultation with
Secretary of War Dern and Secre-
tary of the Navy Swanson.
The decision to prohibit sale
aboard ships was taken because
it was felt the carrying of beer
by the ships would reduce their
combatant power.
Swanson held that since the dis
placement of American ships was
limited under the London Naval
Treaty there was no use in per-
mitting them to have beer at the
cost of combatant power.

Secretary Perkins Confers
With Nations Labor Leaders;
Green Submits Program

Sixty-five labor leaders, rep
resenting all phases of labor,
gathered today at the Depart
ment of Labor Building for
a closed conference with Sec
retary of Labor Frances Per-
kins on current Industrial
problems and means of al
leviating the hardships of
wage-earners.
No intimations were vouch-
safed a sto the actual work of
the conference other than the
items appearing on the agenda,
which indicated that unemploy-
ment relief measures and public
works would bulk largely in the
discussions. L.
Miss Perkins announced she
had obtained data showing that
4, 100, 900 families . and 690,000
single persons in this country are
now on the relief rolls.
Wide Range Of Topics
Reduction in working hours,
the shorter work week, unem-
ployment insurance, the home
mortgage problem of wage earn
ers and a canvas of posSibil'
tiles of absorbing surplus labor
were among the topics to be
considered.
Statistics on the cost of relief
and the inadequacy of present
relief, had been collected by the
Secretary in advance of the con-
ference, and are available to
those in attendance.
The need of expanding pur-
chasing power on the part OF
the lesS-favored elements of the
population was strongly empha-
sized.
The effect of lowered wages
and the consequently reduced
purchasing power on business
activity was among the matters
to be taken up. There is a
strong feeling on the part of
many labor leaders that wage
cuts defeat their own aim, and
prolong the economic problem.
Green In Statement
william Green, president of
the American Federation of La
Dor, had a long statement pre-
pared for the opening Of the
conference, the substance Of
which was much in line with
the labor plank of the Demo.
cratic party platform.

public works program should in
clude public building construc-
tion, road construction, elimina-
tion of grade crossings, flood con-
troll, refrestation, soil erosion,

JUDD
CUTS BARS
IN ESCAPE
At TEMPT
Young Brother Hunted for Quiz
When 2 Saws Are Found;
Must Hang April Fl

FLORENCE, Ariz., March
81 (I.N.S.).-A plot for the
daring escape Of Winnie Ruth
Judd, condemned "double
trunk" murderess, from her
cell in condemned row in the
State Prison here, was re-
vealed today at the office OF
Warden A. G.. Walker.
A warrant has been issued for
the arrest Of the velvet Tigress' ~
young brother, Burton McKin'
nell, for attempting to aid his
pretty blonde sister to escape, it
was revealed.
Authorities wanted to question
McKinnell about the presence OF
two small saws found in Mrs.
Judd's cell.
Sawed Two Cell Bars
Mrs. Judd had almost sawed
two bars in two before attend
ants discovered what she had
done, it was stated at the war
den's office.
Only the plea of the killers
elderly mother, Mrs. H. J. Nc
Kinnell, of Darlington, Ind, pre-.
vented prison officials from put
ting Mrs. Judd in the dungeon.
In many respects the attempted
escape of Mrs. Judd resembled
the sensational break from the
Los Angeles County Jail of Clara
Phillips, hammer slayer of AL
berta Meadows.
Mrs. Phillips sawed the bars
of her cell as did Mrs. Judd, and
escaped by clambering over the
roofs of buildings in the vicinity
of the present civic center.
Might Have Jumped Wall
Mrs. Judd, had she succeeded
in hacking the remaining bars of
her cell, could have slipped out
onto the prison grounds under
the cover of darkness, and, by
scaling the side of small build
ing, would have been able to leap
over the prison wall to the roof
of another structure on the out
side, it was said.
At the warden's office it was
declared that Mrs. Judd's hands
were raw and bleeding" when
she was thwarted in her plot to
escape.
The attempt to escape occurred
"about three weeks ago." the
warden'S office disclosed.
It was said at the prison that
young McKinnell, formerly a uni
versity student at Los Angeles.
had visited his sister a short time
before the plot was discovered.
Passes Peaceful Night"
Despite the denial Of her plea
for mercy yesterday by the State
pardon board, which ordered that
Mrs. Judd be hanged April 81,
the blonde slayer passed a peace
full night" in her cell, it was re-
reported at the warden's office.
Her white-haired mother, Mrs.
McKinnell, was allowed to pass

fictiOnS regarding China. The
powers accepted it because they
hoped conditions in China
would improve under it., but
China has failed to respond to
it. Instead, conditions have
been going from bad to worse.
"The question now is can we
go on forever on the basis Of
fiction? Is it good for China?
Would it not be better to awake
to the facts and go about things
in a more intelligent way?"
Matsuoka again declared Japan
had not violated any clauses of
the treaty, in its recent military
campaign in Manchuria.
Defends Manchukuo
He reiterated the oft-repeated
assertion that Japan aided in the
establishment of the independ-
ent state of Manchukuo in
order to bring about peace and
order in Manchuria.

MEASURE DUE.
To GET 0. K.
ERE NIGHT
House Cannot Act Till Next
Week; Bill May Be Forced
to Conferees for Study

The District beer and wine
bill was taken up by the Sem
ate, which is expected to ap-
prove the measure this after
noon.
The bill was on the verge OF
passage without debate, but Sena-
tor Joseph r. Robinson Cd Of
Arkansas, majority floor leader,
delayed the procedure in order
that the measure might be care
fully considered.
Senator Hiram johnson R.)
Of California declared that at
the proper time he would seek
to have the wine provision
eliminated from the bill.
He declared that 80 per cent
wine, authorized in the measure,
was utterly useless"
Vote by Afternoon
Another fight win be made to
prevent the sale Of beer at auto
mobiles entirely parked on pri.
vate parking facilities. Senator
James Couzens (R.) Of Michigan
declared that the section pertain
ing to sale at automobiles was
inconsistent with provisions per-
tanning to the sale to minors, as
he said it would be impossible to
determine the age of occupants
Of automobiles.
Senator Millard E. Tydings
CD of Maryland, chairman Of
the special subcommittee which
redrafted the House bill, in ex-
planation of the revised measure
declared that it was intended to
correct "ambiguitieS, imperfec-
tions and contradictions" in the
bill passed by the House.
From early indications, there
will be no concentrated effort to
defeat the District bill and a vote
will probably be taken by mid
afternoon.
Robinson Intervenes
The bill almost passed without
debate when it was taken up at
noon and the Senate committee
amendments read by the clerk.
Vice President Garner said:
without objection, the
amendments are agreed to and
without objection, the bill will
be considered as having passed"
It was at this point that Senator
Robinson asked that the bill be
delayed for consideration of its
provisions.
Although the Senate may ap.
prove the bill today, the measure
cannot become law before next
week.
AS the House has recessed until
Monday, it can take no action on
the many Senate amendments to
the bill which was originally ap-
proved.
Must Be model"
Unless the House accepts all
Of the Senate amendments, the
bill will have to be sent to con-
ference, a compromise agreement
reached, and both branches Of
Congress approve the conference
report before the measure can be
sent to the President.
Attempts will probably be made
in the Senate to amend the bill
as revised.
1t has been drafted to serve
as a model" measure but vari-
GUS groups are continuing to
voice objections to certain pro-
visions.
Drug Store Angle
Senator David I. Walsh D.) of
Massachusetts, will seek to
amend the bill to permit drug
store sale Of beer. Such sales

Beer will reopen the pianos
Of the nation"
Gene Buck, president of the
American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers, today so
declared in an interview with In
ternational News Service. He
said:
"Since prohibition and the
invasion of the radio, the
pianos have been locked from

"NOw, the family and their
friends will huddle around the
piano and sing songs once
again.
"The entire music business
writers, composers, and pub
lishers-expects a tremendous
revival in music-Old music
and new music"
HOME LIFE COMEBACK
Buck, who put on the first Zieg
field midnight frolic (the origina
American cabaret), said:
"Where you have home life
you have music. And you can't
have music without home life.
"And the kids who Sneaked
out of the house with a bottle
on their hips or went up back
alleys into joints will be staying
home for a SOciable time with
the bunch.
with such gatherings will
come the inspiration to sing
and play and learn to play
music.
BEER KEEPS EN- HOME
"In the old days, beer used
to keep people home. They
used to like to sit home two or
three nights week and CAB.
Saturday night, particularly,
used to be home night.
Beer had more influence on
the culture of the nation than
anyone had any idea of. Cul-
ture means good music. And
it means the generating of
friendships and associations in
conjunction with music in small
and large groups of people,"
