Head of Parks Bureau Likely
to Be New Member of
Local Body.

The National Capital Park and Plan
present members and gain a new mem
ber under the impending reorganization
of the Government, it developed today at
meeting of that body.
Under the executive order of Presi-
dent Roosevelt the post of director of
public buildings and public parks, who
is an ex-officio member of the Planning
Commission, as well as its executive and
disbursing officer, is to be abolished.
So too, will the present Office Of director
of the National Park Service, who like
wise is Planning Commission member,
by virtue of his Office.
Reorganization points to the estab-
lishment of a bureau of parks build
ings and national cemeteries within the
Interior Department, taking over the
present functions of the Office of public
buildings and public parks, the Public
Buildings Commission, the Arlington
Memorial Bridge Commission and the
National Park Service.
May Join Commission.
Planning Commission discussion to-
day forecast that the head of the new
group would become member Of the
planning body.
A subcommittee, consisting Of the
commissions chairman. Frederic A. De-
lano; Col. James A. Woodruff, ordered
here recently as director of public
buildings and public parks; Mai. John
the District, and Horace A. M. Al
bright, director of the National Park
Service, was named to inquire further
into the problem raised by reorganiza-
tion.
Col. Woodruff was introduced to the
members of the commission, as this Is
the first time he has attended its de-
liberations. The status of legislation
was discussed and Irving c. Root, engi-
neer, and j. Bond Smith, attorney, rep
resenting the Maryland-National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission, dis
cussed supplemental agreements for
land purchases under the Capper- Cram
ton park purchase act for developments
in the nearby Maryland valleys.
Commission Agenda.
On the agenda of the commission
were discussions relating to the funds;
Summer meetings; a report on public
works made to the Federal Employment
Sterilization Board, presented by the
commissions engineer, Maj. D. H.
Gillette; development of Buzzard's
Point, plan prepared by the commits
s.on's city planner, John Nolen, and

the models of the Capitol-showing the
contrast between 1888 and now-ln

IOWA MAY SETTLE
/ + FATE OF DRY LAW
Prohibition Leaders Hope
Election June 20 Will Halt
Parade of States.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, June 14-Iowa, where
prohibition has been an issue for nearly
a century, is looked to as a major
testing ground for national repeal senti-
ment as its voters prepare to go to the
polls June 20.
Mindful of its generally dry history
its present stringent prohibitory laws
and its large percentage of rural popu-
lation, prohibition leaders are hopeful
the State will halt the parade toward
repeal of the eighteenth amendment.
Repeal advocates, on the other hand,
voice confidence that Iowa will vote for
repeal by large margin. Repeal VIC
tories in Indiana, which also was re-
garded as traditionally dry ground, and
in the adjoining State of Illinois, are
considered by anti-prohibition l-lders
as strengthening their cause in Iowa.
Repeal Victory Predicted.
r. N. Gown, co-chairman of the Iowa
Repeal for Prosperity State Central
Committee, declares repeal will carry in
Iowa by about the same lead as in
Indiana"
Pointing out that all temperance
forces in the State are the most eff
ciently and potentially organized in
their history" Or. j. w. Graves, execu-
tion Emergency Committee, says the
prohibition forces expect to poll the
heaviest vote for retention of the eight
zenith amendment of any special cleo
ton yet held"
The campaign has proceeded quietly,
with organized State central groups
directing the fight for the respective
factions. The prohibition forces in par
ticular have concentrated on organizing
their adherents even down into pre-
cincts, and both sides of the controversy
are supporting "get-out-the-vote
drive"
Because Of general lethargy in cam
paigning and the fact that prohibition
has not been an issue in recent Iowa
elections, there are few facts to inci-
cate definitely which way the State will
step.
Gov. Clyde L. Herring, Democrat, has
predicted it will be in favor of repeal
Previous Votes Both Ways.
During its history the State actually
has voted both for and against prohi-
bition, has operated under modified
license and under local option and under
complete prohibition.
The recent Legislature legalized the
sale of 80 beer and provided for the
State constitutional convention on pro-
hibition repeal
The ballot for Iowa's June 20 elec-
ton carries three columns-one a slate
OF SO candidates favoring ratification of
the twenty-frst amendment to repeal
the eighteenth, another the list of 80
dry candidates and the third for writ
ing in names.
Voters are expected to select either
the repeal slate or the dry slate as
unit, so the constitutional convention
July 10 presumably will be attended
either by SO delegates favoring repeal
or similar number opposing 1t.

COMMERCIAL AIRSHIPS
PROVIDED FOR IN BILL
Ragon Tells House Public Works
Measure Takes Care of
Dirigibles for Trade.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Under the, public works section of the
industrial recovery bill, money may be
advanced for construction of CONNER
clal as well as naval airships Repre-
sentative Ragon, Democrat. of Arkan-
sas, told the House last night.
Ragon's statement was made in the
course of discussion of a concurrent
resolution offered by Representative
Harter, Democrat. of Ohio, to amend
the industry control bill, after it had
been sen. to the White House. to in
clude advances for construction of
dirigibles.
Secretary Of the Navy Swanson Of
fered the amendment but it was left
out because both the Senate and House
conferees felt that the language in the
bill was sufficiently bread to cover the
construction of airships for naval and
commercial purposes" Ragon said.
Hsrter withdrew his measure.

Record Believed Set
By Presidents Gifts
OF Souvenir Pens
BY the Associated Press.

6y the ASSOclateo RreSS.
During the special session Pres
ident Roosevelt probably has set
a new White House record for
passing out souvenir pens. Many
Presidents have followed the Gus
tom Of signing important bills
with a pen to be preserved by
some one or other because of its
historic significance. Some have
used two or three.
Mr.. Roosevelt has used six or
eight, signing the first name with
one, the middle initial with
another, the last name with a
third. When ne manages to use
eight pens in a single signature,
the last one Is used just to cross
the "t."
He has thus passed out three
or four dozen historic pens al
ready.

Likely to Develop 2O-Gallon

<ONDON-With beer penny pint

y the hope of the chancellor OF the
kschequer in the current financial year.
Ar the time that the chancellor recently
knocked penny (normally 2 cents) off
the pint the average consumption an
nually was slightly in excess of Is gal
ions. As thousands of working-class
consumers every week are now drinking
q pint or two more than they formerly
did, it is expected that a great COM
pany of consumers OF the national bev-
erage will come into the 20-gallon class.
The chancellor is budgeting to re-
ceive only $270, 100000 from beer duty
as result Of his penny-off -the-pint
concession. But he Is evidently hoping
for great deal more, especially as the
beer drinkers are rallying to his support.

REPEAL W|NS,4T0 |,
IN MASSACHUSETTS
Bay State Is Eleventh Con-
secutive Commonwealth
to Vote Wet.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, June 14-MaSsachusetts
stood in the repeal column today-the
eleventh consecutive State to go on
record in favor of repeal of the eight
zenith amendment.
1t was a sweeping victory, with the
repealists piling up margin of 4 to
In the State at large and a ratio of 10
to in Boston.
Three pledged delegates were chosen
from each of the IS Massachusetts
congressional districts at yesterdays
election. The vote cast for the repeal
pledged delegates totaled AL, ,195. Those
pledged to vote retention of the prohi-
bition amendment polled 9S,S84 votes.
Drys Fail to Get Delegate.
Not a single dry" delegate was
elected to the constitutional convention,
which will act on repeal of prohibition
IN the near future. Gov Joseph B. Ely
expressed pleasure" at the result of
the referendum, and said that he would
call convention Immediately"
Most Massachusetts, communities also
voted on the question of local license
and the results showed an amazing
overturn for the "wets." Only a few
scattered towns stood firmly against
license.
The trend in rural sections was espe-
cially surprising. 1t was believed the
majority Of the smaller communities
would be found in the dry" column,
but New Ashford, a small. Berkshire
County town, with reputation for
prompt returns on presidential elec-
tions, voted 100 per cent wet" And
New Ashford was typical of the small
town. Not one New Ashford vote went
for delegate favoring retention of the
eighteenth amendment and all 16 went
IN favor of license.
Repeal Vote Expected.
Leaders of the dry forces had not
expected Massachusetts to do other
than vote repeal, and in election eve
statements they had confined their pre-
dictions to the belief that they would
retain enough States to keep prohibi-
tion in the Constitution
Massachusetts, enacted a State "baby
Volstead" law in 1924 by margin of
8,163, and six years later repealed it by
majority of 274,802. In 1881 the
State memorialized Congress to repeal
prohibition, and yesterdays vote was
counted by the "wets" as their greatest
victory since they repealed the baby
Volstead" act
RooseveIts Son Wins.
James Roosevelt, son of President
Roosevelt was one of the three wet dele
gates chosen in the ninth congressional
district yesterday with n of ia pre-
cincts in the district tabulated Roose-
velt and two other wet candidates had
