Former Premier Accepts Invi-

PARIS, Jan. %. = Edouard Dal-
adler former premier accepted
President Lebrun's invitation to
form new French government
today.
Daladier's acceptance of the post,
involving grave task of political
reconstruction in the face of the
greatest national crisis since the
war, came as a surprise to many
politicians.
The former premier was called
to the presidential palace after
Jules Jeanneney had refused a
perfunctory offer of the premier
ship.
Leaving the Elysee Palace, Dali
adler told the United Press it was
his intention to organize IAN en-
ergetic government capable of pub
lie respect and of reestablishing
the authority of the state
He will return to the palace
tonight, after consulting his COL
leagues, to inform President LIE
Brun definitely whether he has
succeeded in forming his govern
ment. ..,. g
Basing his strength mainly on
the support of the Socialists and
Radical Socialists, he will look for
further backing by handing out
offices-among the left Republl-
cans, left Independents, French
Socialists and left radicals.
The sidetracking of Edouard
Herriot, who was considered the
outstanding prospective candidate,
came as great surprise to his
Radical Socialist followers, but was
partly explained by the fact that
Herriot is president of the party
which is still accused of having
accepted funds from Stavisky for
it's 1882 election campaign, in which
the party swept to a landslide
victory.
Herriot himself, it was recogniz-
ed, was personally above reproach'
and the finger of scandal could
never reach him. Nevertheless. with
the collapse of Stavisky's enter
prises still a leading topic OF de-
bate and the subject of popular
indignation, it was felt by Presi-
dent LIE Brun that another man
should be chosen and he there
fore turned to Daladier.
At noon Daladier told the United
Press he had made progress and
that he hoped to complete his cab
met either tonight or tomorrow
He intends, he said, to eliminate
several ministeries, possibly inIud-
ing those of public health and bud
get, as we'll as a number of under
secretaryShipS.
Attempting to heal the breach
that has existed between himself
and former Premier Hierrot, Dali
adler invited him to a long confer
ence at noon, and asked him to
take the ministry of foreign affairs.
Herriot declined Daladier's offer OF
ably will take thet portfolio him

Mrs. Roosevelt made the an
nouncement at her weekly press
conference. She said:
"By the 18th of February it will
become legal in the District of Col
umbia to serve wines. No distilled
liquor will at any time be served in

no fixed rules as to wines when
served. There will be, of course,
preference given to American
wines.'

ever. Lent begins February IA, and
the law will not allow the sale Of
liquor in the national capital until

would be created throughout this
great country to take care of every
handicapped child and adult in the
nation, and that research might be
helped so that the day would come
when the disease itself might be
prevented, just as medical science
has conquered other scourges'.
With every civic and fraternal
organization in the city backing it,
with an active group of committees
under the direct chairmanship of
Mayor John T. Rice. the local cele-
bration leads all other events this
