Deadlocked On Beer Measure
Permit Indians
To Drink Beer

PHOENIX, Ariz., April !.
(U.P)-Indians-tO whom fire
water" has been long forbid
den-tOday were permitted to
purchase beer, following a
ruling by federal officers.
But they declared, should
one of Uncle Sans wards be-
come inebriated, the law
against sale of intoxicating
liquor to Indians would be in
vOked.
1t will be necessary, in other
words, for those who sell the
brew to ascertain the sObriety
of each Indian, officials said.

Los ANGELES, April I. U,P)-
After a 13-year drought, Los
Angeles was able to purchase
beer, "the real thing" for five
short hours today a. m. to
noOn-and at noon faced an
other spell of aridity as the To-
cal supply of brew became ex-
hausted.
Fully 80 per cent of retail es-
adjustments licensed to handle
beer were completely sold out
by noon, police reported, and
the Los Angeles Brewing COM
pany, only plant in operation
in Los Angeles, was unable to
maintain its delivery because
of the unprecedented demand
for the amber fluid.
It was estimated that more
than 250,000 cases and 100 kegs

WASHINGTON, April 7. = The
fate of the Black bill to enforce a
six hour day and five day week on
interstate industry is up to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
House leaders said today they
were awaiting definite word as to
whether Mr.. Roosevelt wished the
measure passed.
The senate passed the revolution
ary social measure late yesterday
by vote of SO to 80. Speaker
Rainey said the house would fol-
low if desired by the White House.
Miss Frances Perkins, secretary
of labor, favors the principle in
volved. There were intimations dur
ing senate debate that President
Roosevelt was sympathetic. He in
dicated, however, that he would
study closely the provisions of the
measure before revealing his po-
Sltion.
Democratic leaders have been in
formed that if the President sup
ports the bill, he will insist on mo-
difications along the line of Demo-
cratic Leader Robinson's proposal
which the senate rejected. This
would limit the working week to 36
hours rather than 80 hours.
In its effect on the daily lives of
workers and the conduct Of man
ufacturing establishments, the
measure is one of the most far
reaching to come out of the depreS-
sion.

State and Interior Department
Permission Given for Soviet
Plane to Make Trip
BY international News Service

The venture of a Brooklyn
Brewery into the field Of interna-
tional diplomacy today was
crowned with success when the
State Department announced ar
rangements had been made for
a Soviet airplane to land Jimmie
Mattern, stranded round-the-world
flier, at Nome, Alaska.
Owing to Americas non-recog-
milton Of Soviet Russia, the brew
cry, which has sponsored a res
cue expedition for Mattern, had
to contact with Soviet authorities
through tie Soviet information
Bureau in New York rather than
the American government.
Permission Given
The Soviet government agreed
to fly Mattern from Anadir,
Siberia, where he is stranded, to
Nome, providing permission was
granted for the Soviet airplane
to land there.
The brewery, whose rescue expe-
dition is at Nome, requested the
State Department to make ar
rangements.
The latter communicated with
the Department of Interior, which
has Jurisdiction over Alaska, and
Acting Secretary of State Phillips
announced today that arrange
mentS had been made for the gov
ernor of Alaska to permit the
Soviet plane to land at Nome.
Breaks Precedent
Phillips added the brewery
would be advised. The latter, in
turn, will inform the Soviet gov
ernment through the Soviet in
formation bureau.
Veteran department officials
said it was the first time in the
history of American foreign rela-
tions that good offices of a
brewery had been used to carry
on indirect diplomatic negotiations
with an unrecognized foreign gov
ernment.

SPEED DEMANDED
ON OIL DECISION
Major Concerns Plan Action
to Prevent Price -
Fixing. !
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The oil industry today sought an
early decision by Secretary Ickes on
its proposals intended to make price
fixing unnecessary.
For the time being. at least, most
major factions In the industry were
agreed on an experiment. to remove
the pressure of excess gasoline stocks
from the market, and to guarantee
profit margins to wholesalers and re-
tailers.
The Secretary. who is also oil ad-
ministrator. maintained the closest si-
lence as to his verdict, but 1t was
known he was inclined favofably to
plans similar to those proposed.
The agreements, signed by "a major
companies before being presented. pro-
vide the setting up Of a National Pc
troleum Agency. which would have con-
troll of an equalization fund supplied
by the industry; to withhold excess
gasoline stocks, and for a marketing
compact setting price differentials from
refiner to wholesaler.
The contention is that the effect of
Withholding gasoline stocks would be
to raise gasoline prices to their proper
relationship with crude oil, while the
marketing agreement would see that
all divisions of the industry profited
equally from the higher prices.
The agreements represent a conces-
sion to that faction Of the industry
comprising most of the major COM
panies which have opposed price fixine.
The price fixing group, however, has
made 1t plain the proposals have been
accepted on a purely experimental
basis, and that if they do not stop
price wars and protect smaller inter-
ests. the old-time opposition will again
present itself
