D. {. BEER BILL
NEXT SESSION

There will be no beer bill for
the District of Columbia until a
national beer bill becomes a law
the House District Committee
was told today.
At the hearing in answering
charges by Representative Wright
Patman CD of Texas that testi-
mony of drys had forced the
judiciary subcommittee to aban-
don any attempt to favorably
report the Black beer bill, legaliz-
ing 80 per cent beer for the
District, Representative Vincent
L. Palmisano CD of Maryland
said:
"We intend to recommend
to the next House real bill
in accordance with the hear
ingS we held on the Black bill.
We expect this bill to be passed
at the special session at the
same time with the repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment
and the passage Of a national
beer bill"

NEEDED
FOR SCHOOL

A rapidly increasing enrolment
at the new Lafayette School,
Thirty-third and Northampton
Streets northwest, makes con-
struction of an addition to the
building imperative. it was as
serted today by school officials.
Robert L. Haycock, assistant
superintendent of schools, point
ed out the estimate of 100000 in
the 1884 budget is needed to re-
lieve the heavy congestion at the
school.
The item, stricken from the eS-
Inmates by the Budget Bureau,
would provide for an eight-room
addition, of which four rooms
would be made available imme-
diately. The. other four rooms
would be left unfinished for fu-
ture use.
The school, which was occu-
pied only two years ago, has an
enrolment of 1856, much beyond
the capacity of the building. Mr..
Haycock said.

H|DE-AND-SEEK
IN SKY FRIDAY

When the moon and a star
cross each others path one might
expect exciting things to happen.
This phenomenon will occur
Friday night, but save for provid-
ing an interesting spectacle not
much will happen when Regulus
and the moon coincide. Naval
astronomers point out that when
the moon actually eclipses the
star they will still be 328,991,'
120,000,000 miles apart.
The spectacle will be visible to
the naked eye and occur at con-
venient hour. At 7:45 p. M,
Eastern Standard Time, Regulus
will appear to touch the edge Of
the moon. At 7:51 p. m, it will
slide out of sight. 1t will appear
49 minutes later.
Naval astronomers at the OBJ
servatory on Massachusetts, Ave
nue. will watch the phenomenon
with considerable interest and
make time tests. Visitors will be
barred from the observatory that

GROUP TOSTUDY
AIRPORT BILL
Times Staff Photo

At a meeting today the District
Committee referred to the parks
and playground subcommittee the
bill of Representative Thomas F.
Mcmillan CD of South Carolina,
which provides for the lease or
purchase by the District Of Co
lumbia of an airport site.
Representative Howard w.
Smith CD of Virginia, who re-
sides in Alexandria, is chairman
of the subcommittee which will
consider the bill.
Smith, also a member Of the
House Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee, was vigorous
in his opposition on the first Nc
MILAN bill which provided for
Federal lease or purchase.
Arlington county objected to
Federal lease or purchase of the
territory on the ground that it
would lose approximately $4,000
in taxes each year.

.5-YEAR TERM
LOOMS AS
PENALTY
Maximum Imprisonment for
Lille on All Allegations
Potentially Severe

The case against Lester Lawr-
ence Lille, 25-year-old gunman
and counterfeiter who shot two
policemen in an attempt to es-
cape arrest Monday night, will
be ready for the Grand Jury
within the next two days.
This was announced today by
U. S. Secret Service operatives
who have been working on the
case with local detectives since
the spectacular gun battle at
Eighteenth Street and Columbia
Road which resulted in the cap
ture of the youth and his con-
feSSion.
Authorities are convinced that
the youth is telling the truth
in his story that he carried on
the work Single-handed, but ad-
mitted it is one of the most
unusual cases they have ever
run across.
Faces Long Term
Declaring he hoped to recoup
a $4,000 stock market loss
through making the counterfeit
bills, Lille confessed he started
operations six months ago, OBJ
tanning his equipment piece by
piece so it could not be traced.
Lille faces a maximum of As
years in prison if convicted on
all the charges pending against
him-assault with intent to kill,
and manufacture, possession and
passing of counterfeit money.
Many Bills Circulated
The youth had plates to print
81, $40 and $40 bills, but so far
as police can determine he passed
only eight bills of $40 demon
ination.
Secret Service men here are
trailing the source of a flood of
spurious bills which has shown
up here, in Virginia and further
south.
These bills are believed to come
from a New York ring, and sew
eral specimens passed here are
now in the hand of authorities.

human, amusing, interesting. The
romantic interest is well maintain
ed, as it was in the novel, but there
isn't too much of it. It is a good
picture precisely because the di-

include some beautiful old Georg-
ian houses. In the cast with Rog-
ers are Louise Dresser, Vera Allen,
Ralph Morgan, Rochelle Hudson,
Howard Lally, Andy Devine and
Berton Churchill.

comedy drama plot, its songs and
its romantic love interest. The
screen play is story of back
stage life, but entirely different
from anything before screened. It
deals with a young musical COM

when talking pictures supplant

making prologues for motion pic

There is a definite and well knit
plot with riotously funny situa-

teams of players furnish the love
interest played by James Cagney
and Joan Blondell and Ruby Keel
er and Dick Powell with Claire
Dodd and Renee Whitney as the
gold digging, dangerous damsels.
A quartet of famous comedians
furnish a large part of the hilar-
ity. They are Frank McHugh as

Others in the cast include such
noted players as Gordon Westcott,
Arthur Hohl, Philip Faversham,
Barbara Rogers, Juliet Ware, Paul
