CHECKS
BYRD AGAIN

ON BOARD FLAGSHIP EN-
ROUTE TO LITTLE AMERICA,
BY Radio, Jan. 13.-Admiral Rich
ard E. Byrd with three companions
returned to the flagship today
after terrific storms had forced
him to abandon plans to fly to
Little America.
The admiral flew south about
$50 miles, but was advised by ra'
dio of low ceiling, poor visibility.
and a snow storm which forced
him to return to the ship.
The weather reports came from
the Lincoln Ellsworth party, which
is now in the Bay of Wales, near
Little America.
The flight proved one thing
that there is no land ahead OF the
party. While it is possible there
may be a few islands, the fliers
saw nothing but ice-coVered ocean.
The ice pack in the vicinity OF
the flagship is fairly scattered, but
to the south it is more compact,
with large floes and narrow leads.

BY a vote of 9 to s the Senate
District Committee today ap.
proved private license system Of
liquor distribution for the District
of Columbia.
This was the division Of the
committee on a motion Of Senas
tor Capper (R) Of Kansas to sub
stitute a Government dispensary
plan for the plan in the House
bill calling for distribution by
private licenses.
-s Passage by Wednesday
Those voting in favor Of the
private license system were Sem
ators Copeland, TydingS, Lewis,
McCarran, Reynolds, Kean, Carey,
Austin and Davis.
Those voting with Senator Cap
per in favor of the dispensary
plan were, besides the Kansan,
Senators Glass, Gore. Bankhead,
Couzens and King.
Chairman William H. King (DO
Utah, said he will report the bill
to the Senate on Monday, but
pointed out that it would not be
until Tuesday before 1t would be
possible to call the bill up due to
the fact that the report must be
printed and ready for distribution
before a bill can be considered
in the Senate.
He expects the Senate will pass
the bill either Tuesday or Wednes'
day. The private license system
is the plan advocated editorially
by The Washington Times.
Copeland in Charge
The Committee Chairman
pointed out that since he voted in
favor of the dispensary system on
Senator Capper's motion, he be-
lieves it will be better to have
Senator Royal S. Copeland (D0
New York, take charge of the bill
when it reaches the Senate Floor.
The chairman also expressed
the belief that there will be no
minority reports filed by COM
mittee members favoring the dis
penSary plan.
He explained that after Sena-
tor Capper's motion was defeated
in the committee there was q
unanimous vote to report thG
House bill favorably with amend
mentS.
That fact together with the
assertion which Senate leaders
have made that they believe thu
Senate will pass whatever thu
committee recommends indicates
that speedy approval will be
given the bill by the Senate.
Minor Amendments
Only minor amendments vert
added to the bill by the com.
mittee today, one of which would
specify that wines sold in the
District must be made from

State Likes Its Beer,
 Commission Reports
Hard" Liquor, Wine Poor Runners.Up in Race for
 Public's Fancy-LOCaI Survey Made

Consumption of so called "hard,, liquor In the state of Connecticut was 32 per cent of the total aI- cohol beverages in the state for the three month period ending June 30th, according to figures given out by the State Liquor Control Commission. Considering the fact that hard liquor can be purchased legally only with more or less difficulty as to source of purchase and time of purchase. this is interpreted as showing that the Nutmeg states liking for plain and fancy drinks with whiskey, gin, rum and other liquors as a base, is increasing.
 Beer accounted for 61 per cent of the liquor consumed in the state during the April, May, June period, While wine made up the other per cent.
 Drug Stores Selling Liquor :
 Beer is supposed to have its largest sale during the spring and summer months, which makes the amount of hard liquor, sold only through package stores and drug stores, all the more remarkable. After September, sales of spurious liquors will undoubtedly show a still further increase, as beer goes through seasonal decline in con- sumption. Wine is still being more or less ignored by inhabitants of the state.
 Analysis of the commissions re- port showed that package stores reported that 65 per cent of their sales were of hard liquor. Drug stores went even higher, 95 per cent of their liquor sales being of hard liquors.
 Wine totalled 10 per cent of the sales in hotels and restaurants, five per cent in drug stores, and five per cent in package stores.
 Clubs Find Beer Popular
 Clubs reported that 95 per cent of their beverage sale was of beer. Hotels and restaurants saw their beer sales total 90 per cent of their total, while package stores report ed that beer averaged 30 per cent of their total.
 A few weeks ago the Democrat in a survey of the city pointed cut the popularity of beer as a sum- mer beverage. At that particular time it was also learned that Waterburians are very partial to ice cream as a summer cooler"
