BERLIN. March 23.--Chancel-
Tor Adolph Hitler, shouting above
cheers of his Maxi deputies, de-
handed four years of dictatorial

He relegated the issue Of a

He reiterated familiar Nazi
thesis Of arms equality for all,
and promised a campaign of
"barbaric severity" against all
traitors.
Wave after wave Of applause
and cheers drowned his voice from
time TO time.
Nazis. who control the house,
especially approved his dictum
that once adjourned the Reiehstag

The first big cheer came when
he expressed approval Of ''public

the last election.

MUCH INTEREST
OVER BEER SALE
in THIS STATE
WHETHER FLORIDA WILL BE
PERMITTED TO TURN OUT
PRODUCT IN SHORT TIME
is OUTSTANDING QUESTION

Whether or not Florida will
have beer within a few weeks is
a question that is being asked sew
eral hundred times each day in
Key West.
Asked by The Citizen as to the
possibility of the beverage being
sold as a Notwithstanding drink
as declared by the congress of the
United States, several attorneys
have diversified opinions on the
matter.
Some are of the opinion that
it will eventually go before the
people of the state to be voted on.
Others are of the opinion that
this may not be necessary.
State Senator Arthur Gomez is
of the opinion that the state
legislature that meets April 4 will
enact certain laws permitting the
sale of beer in Florida in accord
ance with the beer bill recently
passed by both houses of the Uni
ted States congress and signed by
President Roosevelt yesterday.
Representative William v. AL
bury is convinced that the session
of the legislature next month will
60 on record as having brought
back beer to the thirsty of the
state, opinions of lawyers and
laity to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Both of these legislators agree,
however, that the matter may
eventually go to the supreme
court for decision.

Special Washington Correspondent
Of The Citizen


of The Citizen
WASHINGTON, d. c., March
23.-All pretense of impartiality
will be thrown aside and the ap
pointment of a new democratic
postmaster to fill the vacancy
which will arise at Key West vii
be purely a matter of politica
preference under a plan now giver
serious consideration by Postmast
er-General Farley.
The plan would do away with
civil service examination to de
termine a list of eligibles for ap
pointment, except in the case OF
fourth class postoffices, and ap,
pointments would be left entirely
to the discretion of the senator OF
congressman in charge of thai
particular patronage.
Although no one in an Official
position was willing to be quoted
on the matter numerous congress
men today admitted "off the rec.
ord" that Farley Matched the plan
himself and is expected to put il
into effect.
Under the system hitherto fol-
lowed such appointments could
not be made until an examination
had been held, but such examina-
|tions have long been regarded as
mere formality, the appointments
always going to the person with
the proper political backing.
Adoption of the Farley plan
would involve a huge saving in ex-
penditures of the civil service
commission since there are several
thousand places throughout the
country at which examinations
will have to be held Immediately
if the old system is followed.
