BOARD MAKING
READY FOR
NEW Law
$50 Candidates for Control
Jobs Studied; "Draftees"
May Get Choice Posts

In anticipation of early passage
of the District liquor bill by the
Senate, District Commissioner
George E. Allen today prepared
to begin drafting of regulations
to govern the sale of alcoholic
beverages here.
Included will be the regulation
Of distance from churches and
schools within which no liquor
may be sold, hours of sale, Sun
day and holiday sales, and other
matters not governed in the bill.
The Commissioners also are be-
ginning to study the question Of
appointees to the proposed Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board,
with the view of announcing the
personnel of the board as soon
as possible after the liquor bill
becomes law.
$50 Seek Board Jobs
Nearly $50 persons have filed
applications for membership on
the board or jobs in connection
with liquor administration. Both
Allen and Commissioner Melvin
C. Hazen deny that any one per.
son has been decided upon as yet.
Leading the list of persons who
are reported to have more than an
even chance for appointment to
the board is Charles Ray, president
Of the Brightwood Citizens
Association. Ray, a brother of j.
Enos Ray, of the Mary. and Dem
ocratic Committee, is reported to
have strong political backing for
the job.
Rufus S. Lusk. executive vice
commander of the Crusaders, a
repeal organization, also continues
to be mentioned as a possible
member. as does Earnest G.. WAL
ker, who was one of the outstand-
ing candidates for District Com
missioner.
Women Candidates
Names of women are less num-
erouS than those of men. That of
Mrs. j. Borden Hartman con-
tinues in speculation. Miss Eta
Taggart, local attorney and
prominent in Democratic circles,
also is prominently mentioned.
1t was indicated today that the
Commissioners may pick persons
who have not applied.
Among persons who have been
mentioned as possible 'draftees"
arc 10 V. Morgan, local attorney;
Martin j. Mcnamara, attorney
and George w. Offutt, former
president of the Board of Trade.
The liquor control board is to
be the chief means of dispensing
local patronage for some time, as
the Commissioners have indicated
their intention of making haste
slowly" in changing the present
Set-up of the local government.

|CKES REFUSES
CLUB FUNDS

Proposed construction with Pub
lie Works funds of two clubhouseS
for the Boys Club of Washing
ton, of which Frank R. Jelleff is
president, suffered a setback to-
day when Secretary of the Inte-
rior Ickes refused the club a PWA
grant of $375,OO0 for the work.
The refusal came during a
short interview between the PWA
administrator and Jelleff today.
Mr.. Jelleff called on Secretary
Ickes ''for a showdown on the
proposal" it was reported.
Following the brief conference,
Mr.. Jelleff quoted Secretary Ickes
as saying:
"There are no funds available
for this work. 1 have been
known to change my mind, how
ever, but as / see it now, it
cannot be DONE"

SENATE GROUP
D, KS GARNETT

Confirmation Of Leslie C. Gar
nett as District Attorney for the
District of Columbia was ordered
favorably reported today by the
Senate Judiciary Committee.
Since there was no roll call
vote taken in the committee, this
action represents the unanimous
approval of the judiciary group.
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, chairman of the SUBJ
committee in charge Of Garnett's
nomination, said he, will report
the committees action to the
Senate today.

came to light in senatorial investiga-
tion which had, the day before, turned
up what seems to be shocking irregu-
larity. Do not stop even to consider
why the stock was given, whether as a
bonus Lindbergh deserved it-concen-
trate solely on the fact that headline
told that the first man across the At
lantic alone in an aeroplane received
stock from company.
The first reaction, so far as I can
judge. was a little shock, followed by
the feeling that in some way Lindbergh,
in his innocence, had been trapped.
From the headline alone - which ac-
curately gave the fact-people assumed
that somewhere something was wrong,
and. absolving Lindbergh naturally,
looked for some wrong elsewhere. l

do not consider the cheaper cuts Of meat with the same respect as the chef does. nor do they know their full possibilities.
 Many of the least expensive meats are very tasty when one knows how to prepare them. You can get a fine breast of veal, for example. for or 10 cents the pound: have the bone taken out, stun it and roast it for sunday dinner for six people at cost of not more than 75 cents.
 Veal Stu0lng
 This is n French chefs recipe for veal stufiing: Soak the inside part of bread in water or milk, press out liquid. add 1-2 pound of well-sea- soned pork eausage: add chopped onion. parsley and 3 beaten eggs. Mix all together and stun the breast of veal. Skewer the adges together and bake very slowly for about two hours.
 Veal is one of the lighter meats which we find most acceptab ble dur ing spring and summer. You will enjoy having this roast several times before it becomes too hot to have the oven going in the kitchen.

PLEASING THE MAN
A Back Yard
 Fishing Party
By CHLOE JAMESON

If you see signs of restlessness which can easily be interpreted as a wash to go fishing, and you know the whim can't be gratiiied, help the good man out by suggesting a fishing party to be given in the back yard. To this informal Out- Ing, which should come just after the first really bafmy days, and when the garden begins to show promise, guests must come In their old outing clothes.
 Let them sit around in disarray. with sleeves rolled up, shirts open at the neck, pipes, cigars and cig. arettes going full blast and good things to drink continually coming
 The prize will go to the man wbe tells the best fish story and some good ones will come out after the long closed season, and several rounds of camp cocktails Food will be served camp style, or tin plates and a bare table or al least nothing finer than an oilclotf table cover. The menu may in. clude all kinds of seafood and fish identified with the season If il isn't too warm, a big bowl of chow der; fried perch or trout or baby catfish, or soft shell or devilled crabs with cole shaw. Strawberry turnovers for dessert.
 Pan-frying is of course the nat. ural way to prepare fresh caught fish. The smoll fish are usually pan-fried whole; larger fish should be cut in slices or steaks l inch thick.
 Place 3 tablespoons of oil or but ter in frying pan, roll fish in sea- soned flour. corn meal or fine crumbs and put in pan. Brown on one side; turn carefully and brown on the other. Place on hot plates. garnish with lemon slices and sprigs of parsley.
