your chances of making a Sunday
purchase are exactly nil. Holidays
you needn't worry about.
Behind locked doors Of the
Senate District Committee room
six members Of Congress settled
the fate of the bill in conference.
The members included three
conferees from the House and
three from the Senate who met
to iron out differences between
their respective chambers.
Because such conferences are
always held in private and be-
cause the District liquor bill is
of such great Importance to
Washington. The Times reveals
here what problems arose and how
they were settled.
DispenSaries Barred
On one thing the conferees
were agreed. Liquor should be
sold in Washington under a
licensing system and not in Gov
ernment-owned dispenSaries.
That had already been deter
mined when the Senate indorsed
the House provision for such a
system. But there were several
important amendments to be de-
bated and agreed upon.
The most important, probably,
concerned sale Of liquor on Sun
days and Christmas Day. The
House had agreed to permit Sum-
day sales, but the Senate, after
listening to a fiery speech by
Senator David I. Walsh CD of
Massachusetts,, had banned hard
liquor sales on Sunday except by
prescription.
The conference battle was a
stubborn one with Representative
Norton in the somewhat unique
position of advocating House
agreement to the Senate amend
ment almost without support.
A compromise pIan suggested
by Corporation Counsel Bride,
who with hi S assistant, Yer
non West, was permitted to
sit in the conference. to allow the
sale of hard liquor for consump.
tion on the premises after 2 p. m.
Sundays was rejected after debate.
The plan, Bride later explained
was to permit drinking of cock,
tails, highballs and cordials with
Sunday dinners.
Mrs. Norton won out on the
Sunday clause but capitulated on

it. It's entirely between you and
the proprietor.
At bars you will be able to buy
only beer and light wine and you'H
have to drink it sitting, not stand
ing, in front of the bar or at
tables. Hard liquor will be served
you only at tables.
And don't cultivate any idea
drunkenness will be tolerated by
genial proprietorS. They will have
paid from $50 to $1,000 for their
license and if their place de-
scendS to the point of becoming
a public nuisance they will lose
their license.
Have Money Ready
That is only one of the ways
the Commissioners hope to pre-
vent return of the old-time saloon.
Clubs, restaurants, hotels and
many other places where meals
are served will be serving every
kind of liquor known to the fol-
lowers of Bacchus. but the GUS
toner will do well to carry a we'll
lined wallet, for no credit can be
permitted him for the purchase Of
hard liquor or strong wine unless
he be a member of the club or a
registered guest Of the hotel.
Flask toters loath to change
their habits will not be molested
so long as they don't attempt to
imbibe on the street or in auto
mobiles, for drinking in public is
taboo.
Last, but certainly not least, be
sure to lay in an ample supply Of
hard liquor Saturday nights if
you are expecting to entertain
friends in the liquid manner Sun

it was agreed the bill not require
a woman member.
Debate was cut short, 1t was
learned from Q reliable source,
when conferees were informed that
the District Commissioners plan
to name a woman to the board
anyway.
Claim Stores Limited
House members also agreed to
Senate amendments prohibiting
consumption Of liquor on public
thoroughfares and in vehicles, and
restricting chain stores to one off,
sale license per chain.
These apparent defeats were
offset by Senate conferees agree
ing to the Houses amendment
requiring wines be labelled &C
cording to classification. Only
grape juice wines could be
labelled simply wine" they de-
cided.

the Christmas Day amendment
of Senator Augustine Lonergan
CD of Connecticut, and the
amendment forbidding sale OF
Yule Day liquor was struck out.
PalmiSanO Wins Point
Led by Representative Vincent
L. Palmisano CD of Maryland,
q former bartender, who has long
defended the dignity Of his pro-
fession on the floor Of the House,
the conferees then struck out the
clause permitting sale Of liquor
to soldiers and sailors in uniform.

based his attack on grounds the
District would be placing itself
in the position of establishing a
precedent of vast national i'm
portance.
Arguments Won, Lost
The conferees next reduced the
number of rooms required OF
hotels to 80, the original figure,
from so as proposed by the Sen
ate.
This fight was led by Mrs. Nor
ton, who held it would work "a
very great injustice" on many
reputable hotels here to require
so rooms.
House conferees won the hotel
argument but lost the next on
whether a woman should be re.
ouired on the liquor control
board.
The House had said yes, the
Senate no. After brief debate in

BERLIN, July IA Germany more

Troopers.
Some observers feel that when Hitler
addresses the Reichstag tomorrow

Many Questions Unanswered.
Official statements have applauded
Hitlers action in the execution of
Storm Troop leaders, but many ques-

Hitler himself to answer those ques-
tions to their satisfaction in his
Reichstag speech.
Storm Troops wonder who is going
to guarantee that the Nazi program
will be put into effect with their
pioneer leaders gone.
AT the same time many non-Nazis.
who hitherto have regarded Hitlerism
tolerantly. have now fallen into doubt
and want assurances as to the future.

The United States Conference Of

Is tagging because cement prices are

Appearing at an N. r. A. hearing
yesterday. Joseph w. Nicholson, rep
resenting the city executives said:
We believe that the purposes OF
the N. r. A. would be better served
by maintaining lower prices and thus
keeping the cost of commodities
within reach. In the case of cement,
this would result in encouraging
building construction.
II have personal knowledge of
many contemplated construction plans
which have been laid aside. due
to the unusual advance in the cost
of building materials. cement being
one Of the most important Of these. "
Nicholson. city purchasing agent at

6 per cent higher than in 1926. One
of his main objections was to the
freight basing point system. His city,
he said. could not benefit from short
