WIFE OF P|NCHOT
OUT FOR GOVERNOR
Friends File Her Petition at
Eleventh Hour as an
--. Independent.

BY the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, September g.
Mrs. Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, twice
denied a seat in Congress, has en-
tered the Fall campaign as an inde-
pendent candidate for Governor.
A last-minute drive by friends of
the Pinchots was climaxed last night
when messengers hustled through the
rain to the capitol with Mrs. Pinchot's
petitions.
Whether she will remain in the
race or withdraw before the final
date, September IT, was matter of
conjecture Mrs. Pinchot promised
a statement yesterday, but later
changed her mind.
The campaign to put the copper
haired first lady" of the State in
the race to succeed her insurgent Re-
publican husband started a few days
ago. He has recently announced he
would not take part in the campaign
as an independent candidate for
Met on Campaigns.
United States Senator.
Z Together they have formed a team
that has harrted regular Republicans
since the days of Theodore Roose-
velt. 1t was in 1912, during the Bull
Moose campaign that she met Pinchot.
Both of them were on the vote-get-
ting trail for 1T. r." They were
married a year later.
Mrs. Pinchot once won the praise
of Theodore Roosevelt as the most
able woman politician he ever met,
and there are some who insist she
is the more aStute of the Pinchot
team.
Last Spring, when illness prevented
the Governor from stumping the
State in his fight against David A.
Reed for the Republican nomination
to the United States Senate, his wife
shouldered the burden of speech
making.
Attacks Hugh Johnson.
Outspokenly, she upheld the N. r.
A. and as bluntly criticized Admin
istrator Hugh S. Johnson. She has
said she hopes to live to see the
day" when every industry would be
organized.
Mrs. Pinchot's political background
dates back to her first campaign tour
at the toddling age of 4-when her
father, Senator Lloyd Bryce, took
her with him on one of his swings
through New York State.
If she stays in the gubernatorial
race, she will oppose William A.
Schnader, Republican, attorney gen.
eral in her husbands cabinet. and
George H Earle, Democrat, former
minister to Austria.

IN DISTRICT PROPOSED
Heurich Asks Amendment to d. c.
Law-Would Ban Beer With
More Alcohol.

Amendment Of the District liquor
law to provide for a brewery license
for manufacturers of beer having an
alcoholic content not greater than
80 per cent by weight was urged in
a formal statement laid today before
the District Commissioners by Chris
tian Heurich, president Of the Heurich
Brewing Co.
The statement also was sent to
members of the Senate and House
District Committees.
Heurich made the point that 3.2
beer is Notwithstanding and that
manufacture of such a beverage
should not be allied with manufac-
turers of beverage of higher alcoholic
content
The veteran District brewer, now
past 81 years Of age, favored enact
ment of an amendment to the law to
limit the alcoholic content of beer to
80 per cent He would ban the manu-
facture and sale here Of beer of any
higher content
Heurich contended such a move
would go long way toward promot-
ing temperance and 'unquestionably
will restrict the use Of beverages OF

new AIRMAIL LAWS
ARE EXPECTED SOON
Emergency Use Of Army Planes
Believed to Be for
Short Time.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The cancellation Of all domestic air.
mail contracts is expected to result in
the prompt drafting of new postal
laws to cover what the administration
views as shortcomings in existing
statutes.
The administration was expected to
hurry along to Capitol Hill draft of
the proposed measure for enactment
at the earliest possible moment.
Speed, it was pointed out, is essen
tial, because the Government feels
that any new contracts should be let
under revised statutes. While the
Army has been ordered to substitute
for private mail carriers in the interim,
President Roosevelt's characterization
of the situation as an emergency"
led to the belief that the administra-
ton would seek to make the emergency
of as short duration as possible.
The Post Office Department paSseSS-
es the legal right to advertise i'm
mediately for new bids, not waiting
for the effective date of the cancella-
ton, February 19. This, however, is
not expected, in view of the desire for
new postal statutes before resumption
of contract airmail carrying.

Philately is a definite science, the

Our eminent chief, the President,
