Griffs are out to win the flag now

game. And this important point
showed itself to excellent advan'

the YankS when that 3-to-2
triumph was registered to give the
Griffs the two-game margin they
now hold over their pesky rivals

est which 1t failed to remit last De-
cember If the American Government
will grant a moratorium on the $40
600, 900 debt installment due next June
is, and has so informed President
Roosevelt.
This attitude Of Premier Daladier and
his cabinet colleagues has been COM
municated to the American President
by the French Ambassador at Washing
ton, Andre de Laboulaye.
To this communication President
Roosevelt Is understood to have replied
that the payment of the past-due in
terest must precede q moratorium on
future inStallments.

The general lines of the French
position we're explained to Mr.. Roosevelt

June payment. the French premier
feels, is a political necessity for his
government before he can take the
initiative for payment of the interest
in default.
Some political observers forecast open
conflict between former premier Her
riot, who favors immediate payment OF
the December interest, and his former
pupil and lieutenant, the chief OF the
present government.
NJ Herriot, it will be recalled, was
turned out of Office last December when
he proposed to make the December Is
payment to the United States.
Again today M. Herriot insisted on
the necessity Of paying the December
installment declaring it would be
criminal" to repulse President Roose-
welt and the American people" In these
times OF so great danger"

In an article appearing in the news
paper Information M. Herriot said
that Mr.. Roosevelt wants France to
conduct debt negotiations parallel with
those between England and the United
States, but for this he insisted that
France pay the December installment
The President is willing that this
payment should go on the account Of
a future arrangement" he wrote.
The article asserted that in explain
ing the American abandonment of gold
Mr.. Roosevelt indicated briefly in what
fashion he intended to return to the
gold standard"
The former Premier also said that
developments in the Far East influ-
enced Americas willingness to abandon
neutrality in case she is satisfied who
the aggressor is in an internatioal

BEER PROPONENTS
LOSE KANSAS SUIT
Injunction to Prevent State
Officers Hating Sale Is
Denied.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, May 13.-Proponents Of
80 per cent beer lost a round today
in their court battle to legalize sale
Of the brew in Kansas, one Of the
pioneer prohibition States.
Denying an injunction to prevent
State officers from interfering with the
sale, Judge Richard j. Hopkins of
United States District Court held 80
per cent beer came within the statu-
tory definition Of intoxicating liquors
in the Kansas bone dry" law.
He also argued sale of the beer in
Kansas would appear" to be in viola
ton Of the recently enacted Federal
beer statute.
Cites Beer Law.
1T may be observed in passing" said
Judge Hopkins, that the Federal act
allowing the manufacture of 80 per
cent beer prohibits its sale in States
or Territories where the manufacture,
sale or transportation Of fermented
malt or vinous liquor containing 80 per
cent alcohol is prohibited by law"
j. H. Brady Of Kansas City, Kans.,
unsuccessful candidate for the Repub-
lican gubernatorial nomination last year
and. attorney for Ernest Chapman
Wichita taxicab operator who sought
the injunction against State officials,
declined to comment on Judge Hopkins
decision until he had an opportunity
to read the opinion.
Judge Hopkins denied both Chap
mans application for a restraining Or
der and also his request for a three
Judge Federal court to pass upon an
application for an interlocutory injunc-
ton. He also dismissed Chapman's bill
Of complaint.
Special Session Urged.
Judge Hopkins ruling came in the
midst of agitation in some squarters
for a special session of the Legislature
to set up the machinery for action by
the State on the eighteenth amendment
repeater.
Gov ALI NJ Landon has announced
he would call a special session If a
majority of the members of the House
and Senate publicly pledged support OF
a referendum and agreed to come to
Topeka at their own expense. The Gov
ernor is opposed to repeal.
