CHICAGO PLANS GREETING.

CHICAGO. December 80 P.-Free
from the chaperonage Of prohibition
agents for the first time in IA years,
Chicago went through the preliminarles
of biggest ever" New Year celebra-
ton
Night clubs and hotels reported ca
pacity crowds tonight. with a large
overflow expected tomorrow.
To assure that jollity be unconfined,
the police indicated they would do little
to enforce one of the few city ordln-
ances regulating the 5000 liquor
taverns in the city.
The law might be inclined to look
the other way, it was indicated. IN
case the places continued serving liquor
after l am, in violation of an ordin-
ance effective at midnight Sunday.
Long lists OF hotel and cafe reserva-
tions indicated the celebration would
be the gayeSt in many years. Nearly
every well known cafe and hotel was
turning away applications for table
reservations.
One hotel planned to sell $4,000
worth of liquor The Chicago Hotel AS
sociation estimated the A hotels in its
membership would sell s150,000 worth
of wine and whisky.
Prices were about the same as last
year IS to $40 a person. Many Of the
amusement places included a bottle OF
wine on the cover charge to discourage
patrons from carrying TASKS as has been
the custom for a decade
City authorities we're unanimous in
declaring that the day after New Year
day would see a general Tightening OF
regulations on the sale of liquor. Four
thousand taverns not having licenses
would be forced to get them or shut up,
it was announced, and the l am. clos
ing law would be enforced strictly.
And if Mayor Edward J. Kelly has
his way. women will be barred from
bars. His reason: Women should be
held on a higher plane and not be al
lowed to fall into common acts out
side of woman's normal sphere"

Institutes views were that.

Whisky characterized by the manu-
facturer as straight" "old," aged" or
similarly should have the percentage of
old whisky and its age printed on the
label.
A blended whisky label should show
the date OF blending and bottling and
the contents should be considered as Of
that date.
The label for imitation whisky should
tell the contents Of the bottle, including
havoring essence. but not such proper
ties as simple sirup.
While the Government and the Dis
titled Spirits Institute worked over
these problems, diplomatic officials we're
studying the new problem of exhausted
liquor import quotas. The quotas crigi-
nally were granted for four-mcntil

MILK PACTS SUCCESSFUL.
Program for Dairy Industry Reported

Program for Dairy Industry Reported
Nearer Completion
BY the Associated Press.
Completion of the farm adjustments S
new program for the dairy industry
was nearer today after a series OF con-
ferenCes during the past week with pro-
ducerS and distributors representing the
milk markets of the country.
Representatives OF milk distributing
and production associations in Boston
and Knoxville, Tenn, reported TO ad-
justment officials yesterday on the sue
cess of present milk marketing agree
ments in their areas. Both groups ex-
pressed satisfaction with the agree
mentS as drawn and urged that they
be maintained in their present form.
Distributors and producers in De-
troit, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Des
Moines also have declared in favor OF
agreements as they now exist, but from
ether cities, notably Chicago, where
the agreement was terminated by Sec
retary Wallace, effective January l,
protests have been made against the
terms of the agreements and their en-
forcement.
Under present agreements milk pro-
ducerS are guaranteed minimum price
for fluid milk they sell to distributors
and in addition prices are fixed TO
wholesale milk handlers, retail stores
and consumers.
The latter price-flxing provisions
those which concern milk after it leaves
the producers dairy, have been the
basis of dispute in areas from which
dissatisfaction has been reported.
The principal feature of new market.
ing agreements to be drawn is expected
to be the fixing of producers prices
only. This would be tied in with a
production control clause and provision
for allowing wholesale and retail prices
to find their own level in the natural
competition of the open market.
Some officials of the Farm Admins
tration favor this, and Secretary WAL
lace mentioned it as q. possible ap-
proach to the problem two weeks ago
No decision has been reached. how
ever. and strong probability exists, off,
cials said, that present marketing
agreements may be left unchanged in
cities where they are working salts
factorily.

With complexities surrounding the

its first legal New Year eve drink in

For the first time since prohibition
was written into the national law books,
Federal agents will not have to decide
whether their drives will be directed
against the source OF supply or the
celebrators who take their own liquor
to the tables.
That, however, was one Of the few
spots In the liquor business in which
the Federal Government was not In
terested.
It's liquor control agency has had
numerous complaints about inadequate
supplies. prices for the new legal stuff
and its quality. Likewise, the Govern

what liquor tax it should flx.

The result Of overzealousness on the

consumer will get gypped. The country
needs a supply of good cheap whisky
and that would be the distillers' saliva
ton"
