SPEED REPEAL.
FARLEY PLEA
To VOTERS

Thirty,six States must concur
in prohibition repeal by March
is, 1934-and preferably before
the current year ends. Cuts in
taxation that will hit virtually
every pocketbook depend on re-
peal Of the dry law.
This. in effect, was the ultima
tum dispatched today from Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his closest
political leaders to voters in every
quarter of the land.
What amounted to formal word
went forward last night when
Postmaster General James M.
Farley, high priest of Democratic
patronage and chairman of the
incumbent national committee,
addressed letters to all of the
campaign workers who helped
nominate and elect Franklin D.
Roosevelt, directing that they
work increasingly henceforth to
bring about favorable action in
the required number of States to
do away with prohibition.
On the occasion of his next
"fireside talk" to the nation
one Of those intimate radio re-
ports on his Stewardship-the
President is expected to admonish
the electorate there should be no
undue delay in carrying out the
mandate of the Democratic plat
form regarding repeal.
Other effective methods of
bringing pressure to bear" were
being studied.
The high-preSsure administra-
tion drive was under way pri-
marily to relieve a vast crosS-sec-
ton of the public from paying
greatly increased incomes and
nuisance" taxes a year hence
such levies prospectively to be i'm
posed on what are called the
''lower brackets"
Senate revelations that such
formidable financial figures as j.
Pierpont Morgan and his asso-
ciateS had not paid one dime of
income tax in the last two years
accelerated the Roosevelt cam
paign for repeal without delay.

Senate Will
 Pass Beer Bill
(COntinueJ from Page lb

tContinued from Page n by Bergin the measure had been before the House a month and ex- plained in detail in newspapers.
 Senator John F. Lynch, West Haven republican, who has been a supporter of a house bill for local control, demanded the Buckley bill, supported by the governor, be pas- scd immediately.
 'I never knew of bill to come in for so little consideration and doubt if dozen members of the House are familiar with its details, but the governor has demanded 1t be passed immediately and l think we should pass 1t.
 People won't realize the provis- ions of this bill until a week from Sunday when, coming from church, they will find beer tavern opera ting on every corner,' Lynch said.
 An amendment passed in the house to prohibit sale of beer and wine on Sundays and to any person under 21 years of age, also passed the senate and another amendment, which would substitute the Buck ley bill for the defeated house WdS tdhcH up.
 It's passage would kill previous amendments and put the final ap- proval on the sale and distribution of beer in the state, Sundays in- cluded.
 The attitude of some republican senators in hastily joining with democrats to support the gover- nor's bill, as interpreted as sham battle" to ride the measure to vic- tory and later solidly oppose any amendments which would strength en certain provisions now consid- cred as loopholes.
 Governor Cross had urged speedy passage to permit sale of beer by April 25. if posisble. declaring ad- justments could late be made to gather up loose ends.
 Their battle lost in the house and a democratic victory in the senate apparently certain. republicans were said to be drawing up their forces to thwart any attempt by the governor to alter the bill once 1t becomes q law.

 Policemen Win

The men were stationed in the town to check up on suspicious cars from New York. When they tried to stop the car containing the negroes the driver speeded away with the troopers in pursuit. They fired to stop it and one of in the rear seat.
 At the trial it was revealed that the occupants of the car thought they were being held up and did not realize that the men were state policemen.
 The measure restoring their rights was adopted unanimously in the House. Representative Will liam c. Hungerford of Watertown. chairman of the committee, said had there been any women on the jury the men would not have been convicted. It is reliably reported that both men will be reinstated on the state police force.
 The House today rejected sew eral bills calling for reductions in the hunting and fishing fees. The bills were reported unfavorably by the committee on fish and game.
 Upon recommendation of the ju- dietary committee the House today rejected the measure calling for creation of a commission to inves- tigate the Fairfield county hospital commission. It was rejected in the Senate two weeks ago. The vote to- day was strictly along party lines. Rep. John D. Thoms of Waterbury called for rising vote and when this was carried all the republicans rose to sustain the unfayorable re- port of the judiciary committee, while the democrats voted for re- tecting il. and creation of the com mission.

France Alarmed

 possible to accomplish any con crete results, such as tariff or debt agreements.
 Uerriot received first informa- tion of Washington gold develop ments in news dispatches from the United Press. Astounded, he tele- phoned Paris for advice and in- structions and then went into con- ference with Rist.
 The latter expressed belief that Waghingtons action complicates the world situation and retards economic recovery for months. AL though there is no advantage in 1t to France, he felt that the United States is now In a better position to press on Great Britain for speedy negotiations on tariffs, debts and currency stabilization.
 Rist emphasized his belief that France is financially isolated and risks losing the little remaining of her foreign trade, thus increasing her already costly adverse trade balance.
 Herriot refused to predict Wash ington's course on debts, but others of the official party believed Presi- dent Roosevelt would propose a lump sum payment, using the maximum amount of silver allowed if congress authorizes silver pay ments. France, they said, would have difficulty in refusing, since her isolated position on gold would confirm the American relief in her capacity to pay.
 The only thing certain Is that no definite solution is possible in Washington, Herriot insisting that he would not even promise what the French parliament would do in regard to any proposals he brings back.
 France Alarmed.
 Paris, April 20-(UP)-France, alarmed by it's isolation on the gold standard adopted waiting game today in the hope that Am erica's abandonment of the gold standard would turn out to be g temporary maneuver by Washing ton to gain an advantageous posi- tion in world economic negotia- tions.
 Possibility of imitation of French currency to meet the depreciation of the dollar was the subject of widespread speculation, however.
 French bankers said they did not expect an embargo on gold ex- saw heavy withdrawals of gold saw heavy withdrawals of gold from the vaults of the Bank of France because of sterling pur- chases. It was pointed out that France really is on gold bullion standard. inasmuch as the Bank of France issues gold only in ingots priced at 100000 francs.
 The American gold embargo left the Bank of France non-plussed. and French bankers displayed a. larm over the situation. Business men with accounts in the United States suffered ten per cent loss overnight when the dollar opened with loss of that amount.
 Officials of the Bank of France and the ministry of finance decided in nasty conferences to take no action until they had some indi- cation of Washington's motive.

 London, April 20-(UP)-Great Britain will decline to any mone- tary agreement or even a currency truce at the Washington confer ence, persons acquainted with the governments views said to-day.
 , Britain will await the world economic conference for definite action, 1t was said, because she must reckon on coming develop ments in countries still adhering to gold, notably France.
 It is expected here that when President Roosevelt urges Prime Minister J. Ramsay Macdonald to stabilize the pound as soon as pos- sible, Macdonald will reply that 1t is desirable to await the world economic conference and the crys- utilization of the currency policy of nations adhering to the gold standard.
 That is evidently whitehall's at- titude, despite unconcealed anxiety that the United States action will damage British export trade and afford MT Roosevelt strong lever age in his talks with the prime minister. Regardless of their url- easiness, however, government off, cials recognize that Washington's move tends to jostle Europe into stabilizing currencies, while at the same time satisfying advocates of a depreciated dollar without cater ing to wild infiationists.

Steel. as per custom. was slow in coming out while traders tried to reach a price. But 1t suddenly ap- peared at "x-S000, 40", meaning that overnight the market had jumped two points. There was a terrific clamor then. Steel leaped forward two more points in the next few minutes. Meanwhile out came 10000 shares of International Nickel, up 5-S points from yes- terday.

 Sir Josiah, whose word bears as much weight on financial matters in the British empire as J. F. Mor- gan's does in America, said he was "unprepared to admit that the United States is off the gold stand ard"
 Tt is all a matter of definition" he said. but if Americas action results in a price rise in the United States, then 1t is just what was wanted, although 1t will be better for the United States than for Great Britain.
 "ff it results in a rise in the world prices, then 1t will undoubt- edly be of lasting good to the world"
 High financial opinion was that some other countries probably would be forced off the gold stand ard soon, thus creating temporary chaos in international exchange. But they thought the situation for negotiation of monetary stability was made decidedly more favor able.
 Some experts believed President Roosevelt planned his gold action weeks ago, before he invited Prime Minister Ramsay Mcdonald, Ed ouard Herriot, and other foreign statesmen, to Washington.
 All experts forecast that the dol lar would depreciate sharply for several days unless the British gov- ernment. decided to support 1t to keep the pound depreciated, which probably would create a demand for dollars for trading purposes and induce considerable apprecia- tion.
