BEER DEALERS
SHY IN FILING

Less than third of the
licensed beer dealers in Washing

for the past month. it was dis
closed at the office of Deputy
Assessor Charles A. Russell to-
day.
Mr.. Russell said 43 dealers re-

porting sales of 5,307 barrels, on
which the local tax is $5,307.
There are approximately 1900
licensed to sell beer here.
Dealers who fail to file their re-

licenses revoked, the Commls'
Sioners have warned.
The Beverage Permit Board has
ruled that drug stores are lnellgl-
BILE for ION sale" permits, even
where the greater part OF their
business is selling of food.
Only in cases where separate
rooms are maintained for food
service can the stores sell beer
to be drunk on the premises.
Major Daniel j. Donovan, audi
tor, and Daniel E. GargeS, secre-

SENATORS firm
AGAINST DEBT
MORATORIUM
Even Plea to Give "Breathing
Spell" to Europe Is Seen
Sure to Meet Rebuff

President Roosevelt will ask
Congress for power to grant a
second moratorium on foreign
debts, unless forced to abandon
the move by growing opposition
on Capitol Hill.
Shocked Administration leaders
launched drive to persuade him
against such a step and in a conf
Dental letter warned in effect
that the Senate would refuse to
grant him the power.
This may force the President to
abandon the plan and initiate
some other move for pacifylng
cancellation demands from the
debtor nations.
Roosevelt Defeat Seen
A survey of sentiment indicated
the President would go down to
defeat if he persists in the plan
for asking a second moratorium.
Even a plea to give debtor ma
lions a breathing spell" past
the June is payments would fail
to shake Senate opposition to any
further leniency toward the
debtor nations.
Word of the Presidents in
tention at first circulated quietly
among Administration leaders,
and they tried to keep the plans
secret, hoping to talk him out
of it," Finally, it became known
through the desperate activity on
the part of these leaders. .,
One Democratic leader said
half the Democratic and the en-
tire Republican membership Of
the Senate opposed a second
moratorium.
Must Act Quickly
This check prompted the con-
fidential letter to the President,
warning him to poll" the Sen
ate before asking Congress for
any power touching the debts.
The Administration must make
a. prompt decision. The Presi-
dent wanted the moratorium
granted Immediately, apparently
| in the belief it would aid the
United States in negotiating
world economic peace at the
London conference next month.
If he a. ..ndons it, he must
seek a different "olive branch"
or adopt a more militant policy.
Mr.. Roosevelt was reported to
have discussed the moratorium
issue with Premier Macdonald OF
Great Britain during the recent
visit of the British statesman.
British Won't Pay
This was reflected in advices
from London that the British
government has no intention OF
paying the June Is instalments
of the British debt.
The reports of Britain's ex-
pected attitude and OF the PreSl-
dents moratorium plan angered
both Democratic and Republican
Senators.
They pointed out that they
had assurances from the White
House that the President would
ask no further debt powers until
after the London conference If
Congress authorized the accep-
lance of $20O,00O,OO0 in silver on
debt installments within the next
six months.

arranging for the arrival of the
marchers.
One week from today the sec.

Washington, this time with the
approval of the Government

Under the terms of an agree"

yesterday between Col. Louis M.
Howe, secretary to the President,
and officials of the veterans
liaison committee, the marchers
will be limited to $500, thus
giving representation of 20 to
each congressional district in the
nation.
Need Credentials
Each official delegate must
have proper credentials to attend
the session which will run from
May 10 to 10.
A nation wide radio broadcast
tonight will give full instructions

The $500 men who are already
on the road will be exempt from
the limitation, it was said.
Federal engineers will start at
once to select a camp site in or
close to the District, and the
camp will be in readiness when
the marcherS arrive.
