The department issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Following the visit of Rabbi Wise
the department has informed the
American embassy in Berlin of the
press reports of mistreatment Of
Jews in Germany.
'.The department also informed
the embassy of the deep concern
these reports are causing in this
country.

the embassy to make. in colIabora-

DEER, 80 per cent by weight and
u 4 per cent by volume alcoholic
content, will be on sale legally in
IA states on April Z. The house of
representatives refused to accept
the senate amendment providing
for 3.O5 per cent, and the conference
committee decided to accept the
house percentage; the committee
also killed the Borah amendment
providing that the beverage could
not be sold to children under sixteen
years of age.
AS soon as the new law becomes
operative and beer is actually on
sale the "drys' plan to bring test
case to be rushed through to the
Supreme court for the purpose of
determining the constitutionality of
the law, and they believe the court
will find that 80 per cent beer is in
toxicating and that the law is un-
constitutional.
1t was to minimize this possibility
that the senate reduced the alcohol
lie content to conform with finding
of a British commission which had
decided the highest alcoholic con-
tent possible in Notwithstanding
beverage would be 3.05.
Under the new law the sale of
the beverage will be regulated by
states. counties or municipalities as
was true before the days of prOhi-
bition. There is nothing in the law
to prohibit the sale in saloons In
states or counties or municipalities
where saloons may be wanted. and
where such method of sale may be

The plan was put forth by Mus

fetal communique:

Of the four western powers In an
effort to promote, in the spirit OF
the kellogg pact and mo force
declaration, a long period OF peace
for Europe and the world"
The solid front of the four pow
ers, it is implied, would be for col
liberation in European affairs, but
such an understanding would also
promote a more unified action in
dealing with other international
problems.
Premier Daladier of France de-
clared that before France can ac-
cept the scheme important modifi-
cations must be made. He said
France would accept the plan in
principle. Among the notifications
the premier had in mind was one
that Poland and the little entente
(Rumania. CzechOslovakia, and Jul
90 Slavia) be included in the agree
ment as equals.

School Officials
To Seek Analysis
OF Building Cost
Cannot Take Action On Con
structiOn Until Information
Is Available

The Board had before it a notice
from the State Engineer for the Pub
lie Works Administration in Balti-
more that Grant for the construc-
ton of schools in Montgomery County
had been approved in the amount of
$160,000.00. The notice of the Grant
further advised the Board that a
Grant Contract would have to be ne
gotiated through the Attorney to the
Board directly with the Washington
Office of the Public Works Admins
tration.
The Board understands that the
Grant Contract will contain the condi-
tions on which the Government will
actually make the payments to the
County and will in addition give the
items in the cost of the buildings on
which the Government will contribute
in part.
1t was reported that the Attorney
had promptly requested the Grant
Contract in a communication to the
Washington Office of the Public
Works Administration, but so far the
Grant Contract had not been received.
| The Board directed that detailed
analysis costs of the proposed build
ings be made in order to be in posi-
ton to determine what additional
amount will be needed for the County
Ito provide since the Grant from the
Federal Work Administration was cut.
| Further definite action on the part
of the Board could not be taken since
the conditions covering the Grant and
the necessary additional amount for
the County to provide, could not be
known until after the Grant Contract
is received and studied by the Board.
So soon as the information cover
ing the grant becomes available to the
Board further procedure is to be
studied in order to determine what
may be necessary in order for the
program to be started at the earliest
time.
The Mayor and members of the
Town Council in Rockville presented
to the Board request to locate any
proposed new building for the Rock
vile Colored School on a new site.
1t being pointed out to the Board that
the present location of the Rockville
Colored School is not suited as site
for further enlargement.

President Roosevelt Wants I'm.
employed Back To Work Re-
CARELESS OF Politics

Harry Greenstein, State Relief
Administrator for Maryland, an
nounced last night that jobs for
$4,000 men will be provided next
week under the Civil Works Admin
istration. The announcement fol-
lowed conference yesterday between
Federal officials and the relief au-
thorities of the various States.
President Roosevelt was the chief
speaker at the conference. In the
words of the Maryland delegation,
he covered himself with glory by
the way he emphasized that he would
stand for no politics in the opera
tons of the civil works admins
tration." The President said that
he wanted men back to work re-
CARELESS of whether they were Dem
ocrats or Republicans.
The Maryland delegation included
Governor Richie, Mayor jackson, of
Baltimore; Bernard L. Crozier, Chief
Engineer of Baltimore; George Leroy
Nichols, General Superintendent of
Parks; and j. Warren Belcher, Jr.,
director of the Baltimore Emergency
Relief Commission.
Mr.. Greenstein said that the men
employed will work a full thirty-hour
week, no more, no less, and be paid
the prevailing wage for similar work
in the locality.
Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the
Interior and Public Works Admin
istrator, yesterday allocated $5,411,-
366 to the State Roads Commission of
Maryland. This grant will be con-
ditional on assurance of Governor
Richie and other State officials that
legal obstruction could be removed
through ruling or legislation legaliz-
ing State roads debentures, secured
by licenses fees from commercial We
hicles.
The President, in the course Of his
address to the various officials, said
in part:
During these months a great
many of our unemployed have gone
back to work. The number has been
variously estimated from $500, 900 to
5000, 900. The actual figures make
very little difference, because there
are still great many out OF en-
ploynent and this particular effort in
which you and I are engaged at the
present time is to put 100000 peo-
pie from the list of those still un-
employed back to work during the
winter months so that we can hon
estly say as nation that this win
ter is not going to be like last win
ter or the winter before.
