XXTASHINGTON, March H.
w A tall young man, less
than year out of Harvard, was
married to slim smiling girl in
New York twenty-eight years ago
today.
The wedding was the social
event Of the day in New York be-
cause President Theodore RooSe-
welt attended the ceremony.
Tonight in the White House,
President and MRS. Franklin D.
Roosevelt will entertain at gay
dinner attended by relatives and
a few close friends, in celebration
of their tWenty-eighth wedding
anniversary.
Among those present will be Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Parrish, at whose
home on East Seventy-sixth street
in New York the ceremony was
held in 1905. Mrs. Parrish is a
double cousin of Mrs. Roosevent's
mother.
Others at the family dinner will

Delano; the Roosevelt's son-in-
lew and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.

when President Roosevelt gave
away his niece Eleanor in mar

CITY THEATERS
MAY CLOSE IN
WAGE DISPUTE
Owners Announce Decision
to Suspend If Agreement
Is Not Reached.
UNIONS BALK AT CUT
rs Per Cent Reduction Is
Rejected; Stand Firm
for Contract.

Closing of the majority of Indi-
annapolis motion picture theaters
after next Thursday nights per-
formances appeared certain today as
owners and union employees re-
NAMED deadlocked in a wage dis
pute.
Announcement of the closing or
der was made by committee rep
resenting group of theater own
ers after union agents refused to
accept a Is per cent wage scale re-
ductlon without extension of exist
ing contracts.
Decision to close the theaters
came after the Lyric theater Sus-
pended last week, when the man
agement could not complete ar
rangements for wage cuts for its
union employees, composed of ma
chine operators and stage hands.
Say Receipts Are Down
Operating expenses have in
creased steadily during the last
three years, while theater receipts
have been affected by the general
business depression" the owners de-
clared.
D. r. Barneclo, business agent for
the stage hands, declined to COM
ment on the situation, although it
had been reported that there was a
possibility of the stage hands &C
cepting the reduction.
Arthur Lyday, business agent of
the motion picture machine opera
tors, said the employees would
maintain their position, insisting
that the "theater owners live up to
! their contracts"
Contracts with machine operators
in downtown houses, calling for
wages ranging from $50 to $5450
weekly, have been in effect only five
months, Lyday said. Agreements
for neighborhood houses, which are
two-year contracts, will expire in
September.
Stand on Contract
Managers said that "the closing of
the Lyric last week disclosed the
fact that moving picture machine
operators were receiving $6450 for
approximately forty-five hours
work.
Some of the local managers also
stated that more men were used
than necessary for effective opera
ton Of equipment.
eve informed the owners that we
would be willing to discuss wage re-
auctions provided we were assured
that our contracts would be ex-
tended from the date the new scale
went into effect" Lyday said. 1--WE
will maintain that position"
Handled by Local Unions
Although a number of theaters in
the country now are involved in
wage disputes with union employees.
there has been no indication that
the situation would be handled by
national arbitration, Lyday said
THE matter of contract reduction
will be handled by the local unions,
| d1CIIOuSu IL CIIeIe Is general agree
ment to reduce the scale there prob
ably will be national meeting for
arbitration he said.
Theater managers declared that
all non-union theater employees had
accepted cuts ranging as high as so
per cent, and asserted that approx
imately 800 to 1000 employees would
be thrown out of work if the houses
were darkened.

farm RELIEF
IS EXPECTED
IN Ten DAYS
Congress Gets RooSeveIt'S
Plan TO Raise Prices,
Cut Production.
PROVIDE CASH BOUNTIES
Taxes on Processing of
Products Are to Pay
Cost of Program.
BY MARSHALL M'NEII
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Farm
relief probably will be enacted with
in ten days.
Prompt action on the Roosevelt
program was assured today when
the senate agriculture committee
decided TO forego hearings on the
measure, and submit the bill to the
senate Immediately after the house
has acted on it,
Representatives of seven farm or
CARNATIONS in a formal statement
to the senate and house agriculture
committees urged immediate action
on the farm relief bill, and warned
that delay will be fatal if the pro-
gram is not enacted in time for APP
plication to this years crops.
The act will be intended to raise
The prices farmers receive for their
products this year, and to withdraw
from production many hundreds of
thousands of acres of land
For the city man, this bill is in
tended to permit farmers to buy
more. which would mean more work
FOR the urban dWeller.
President Franklin Roosevelt in
his short special message demanded
farm relief in time to help 1888
crops, and congress apparently will
comply. But whether the bill as
proposed by the administration will
go through in all of its details is
predetermined.
Full Power to Wallace
Skyrocketing commodity prices on
all principal markets today echoed
a nations faith in the effectiveness
of the new Presidents proposals to
restore farm income to pre-war
levels by curtailing production.
The presidential proposal would
vest Agriculture Secretary Henry A.
Wallace and the new administration
with substantially unchecked pow
ers to regulate production of major
farm crops and hence raise prices.
AS the purchasing power of the
vast farm population is increased,
it is hoped that the tagging indus
$ tries of the whole nation will be
stimulated.
Until prices are restored to the
1909-14 level, farmers in return for
reducing production would be paid
direct cash bounties to make up at
least part of the difference, or would
receive rent from the government
ON lands retired from production.
The huge funds necessary for
these payments would be raised by
taxes to be collected from millerS,
packers and others who process
farm products before they reach the
consumer. The taxes for the most
part would be passed on TO the con-
sumer
Some Changes Expected
The benefits would apply to pro-
oucers of all important farm COM
modities-wheat, cotton, corn, to-
bacco, rice, hogs, cattle, sheep and
dairy products.
AS the senate agriculture commit
Bee today started its consideration
OF the Roosevelt plan it appeared that
Il would undergo some changes. The
prospect is the same in the house.
But the President is willing to ex-
pertinent; and Just as willing to stop
the experiment if he finds it won't
work. "a

The senate in passing the
measure Thursday night, re-
duced the alcoholic content to
3.05 per cent, and added wine.
Efforts of the house leaders to
send the bill to conference were
blocked temporarily by objection of
Representative Malcolm C. Tar
yer Dem, Ca, making it neces-
sary to delay, for the time being,
the process of adjusting.
1t was planned to bring the mea-
sure before the house again later
in the day.
Three Issues in Dispute
Three issues are in dispute be-
tween senate and house, both Of
which have voted to modify the
Volstead act. The house bill was
for 80 per cent beer and nothing
else.
The senate lowered the percent
age to 305 and included two other
amendments, one legalizing wine
and fruit juices and the other pro-
hibiting sale or gift of the legalized
beverages to persons under Is years
of age.
Speaker Henry t. Rainey said he
favored retaining the alcoholic con-
tent at 80 per cent, and that he
believed the house conferees would
hold out for this percentage, rather
than the 3.05 written into the bill
by the senate.
Wine mo Good"
Brewers have told me-" he said,
that they always make beer under
the maximum, so that if we had
3.O5 as the limit, the beer actually
would be about per cent alcohol"
Rainey added that he had no
particular objection to the senate
amendment legalizing 3.05 wine.
1t will do no harm and no good"
he said. 1T is an impossible thing.
1t is believed senate leaders would
not be displeased if the house re-
fused to accept the amendments,
and sent the bill to conference to
be restored to it's original form.
The slight reduction of alcoholic
content was voted by the senate
after many Democrats had protest.
ed against the limit fixed by the
house.
With an eye to possible trouble at
home, senators desired such protec-
ton as they might obtain from last
sessions judiciary committee deci-
sion that 305 per cent beverages
were not intoxicating.
Brewers representatives here said
that there would be no appreciate
difference in the quality of 80 or
3.O5 per cent beer. Dry leaders de-
clared one was as bad as the other
from their point of view.
Mcbride AssaiIs Bill
THE change in the alcoholic con-
tent from 80 to 305 was i'm
material" said F. Scott Mcbride of
the Anti-Saloon League. Those
who voted for the bill, as we'll as
those who voted against it, know
that the slightly lower percentage
adopted is sufficiently Intoxicating
to create the alcohol habit"
There are indications that the
house decision on wine will de-
pend on desires Of the Pacific coast
and Ohio delegations representing
large grape and apple districts. They
may seek to eliminate the provision,
and press later for a separate bill
to legalize 10 per cent wines.
The final vote showed far less
than the 2 to margin expected by
Democratic Leader Robinson. On
the division, thirty-one Democrats
and twelve Republicans favored
modification, while thirteen Demo-
Gratis and seventeen Republicans
voted against it.
