SLASH IN LIQUOR
TAX AND PRICE
IS DOOMED
House Group Ends Hearings
Without Taking Action
On Reducing LeVies
International News Service


The door to lower liquor taxes,
and possibly lower liquor prices,
was virtually closed for the pres.
ent session Of Congress today.
The House Ways and Means
Committee ended hearings on the
Administrations liquor law re.
vision bill without considering q
tax slash on either liquor or beer
levies. Chairman Doughton CD
Of North Carolina said:
1--WE won't do anything about
lowering taxes unless the Ad.
ministratiOn makes a recon.
mendation, and / do not expect
any,"
Spokesman for the liquor and
beer industries, forewarned Of q
hostile Treasury attitude, decided
not to make an appeal to the COM
mittee for tax reduction.
A possibility existed, however,
that the wine tax may be cut.
Representatives of California fruit
growers, asserting that high taxes
diminishes wine drinking, urged
that the tax on wine be cut in
half.
The tariff commissions report
that the high cost Of imported
liquor helps keep the price of do"
nestle liquor high may result in
an appeal to the President for a
tariff slash.

CLOSE CONTEST
PREDICTED
BY VETS
North Cardinals 10 Counties
Deciding Local Option; S. c.
Ends Prohibition

ATLANTA, Ca, May is G.N.S).
The liquor question was foremost
in Dixie today, overshadowing
even the cotton problem, as one
State swept awaN it's long stand.
ing prohibition law and two others
moved toward repeal.
South Carolina, dry for two de-
cades, plunged into the wet col
umn shortly before midnight,
when Governor Olin Johnston, a
personal dry, signed a repeal
measure making hard liquors legal
that automatically would have be.
come a law a few minutes later
had he taken no action.
South Carolinians voted repeal
last November in an advisory ca
pacity to the legislature, and both
houses of the assembly pushed the
repeal bill through last week after
lengthy wrangling over taxing pro-
visions.
Third Wet State
The action, effective immedi-
ately, made South Carolina the
third Dixie State to embrace re-
peal. Louisiana and Florida led
the way.
AS South Carolina went wet.
bone-dry Georgia submitted the
repeal question to voters for the
first time in 20 years. The out
come was doubtful. Political OBJ
servers feared Georgia would fol-
low Alabama in clinging to its
dry status. Alabama several
months ago defeated repeal in
popular referendum.
Nearly 100000 persons were
qualified to vote in Georgia to-
day and heavy balloting was reg
istered in the morning hours. A
vote Of above 100000 was pre-
dictede.
Decide Three Questions
Georgia will decide three ques-
characterization of hard liquor
by local option, outright legaliza-
ton of 6 per cent beer, and legal
ization of homemade wines, to be
sold tax-free.
The vote is popular, rather
than under the county unit sys-
tenn. The popular vote will mean
that the heavy city vote from At
lanta, Savannah, Macon, and
other cities, believed to be pre-
dominantly wet, will register fully.
Even so, thee most optimistic
observers would not grant Geor.
gia more than even chance OF
going wet. Prohibitionists have
waged heated campaign to
bring out the full vote, while
repealists have mostly rested on
their oars.
Meanwhile, steps were under
way in North Carolina to hold
local option repeal elections in
IS counties authorized by the
legislature last week to deal with
prohibition.

Garner Said to Favor

ting could not be learned, but the
probonuS group is hopeful that
he will take his post by the time
the veto vote comes up. Mr..
Chavez is counted on to vote with
Senator Thomas.
It appeared that the Admins
tration leaders in the Senate are
becoming a bit "jittery" over the
bonus situation, and are anxious
that Senator Thomas withdraw
his reconsideration motion so that
the veto can be messaged and &C
ton taken speedily. One Of the
leaders was authoritatively said
to have Indicated some anxiety
about the matter.
Battle to Continue
Patmanites in the Senate point
ed out today that some Senators
who might otherwise vote to sus.
tain the veto are beginning to
show signs of joining the bonus
forces since it has become ap-
parent that even if a veto on the
pending measure is sustained, the
battle will not by any means be at
an end.

that such staunch administration
supporters as Senator James F..
Byrnes CD.) of South Carolina,
who voted for the bill originally,
are reported as being ready to
vote to override the veto, if neceS-
Sary.
There are also those who main
tain that President Roosevelt will
not veto the measure when it
reaches him because of the posi-
ton of such Democratic stalwarts
as Senators Byrnes, j. Hamilton
Lewis CD of Illinois, and Duncan
u. Fletcher CD of Florida. It is
suggested that these and others
who usually follow the President
feel they will have to override a
veto if one is messaged, and that
they so dislike being placed in
that position that they might urge
the President to accept the meas
ure.,
One Other Method
This is given little credence,
however, by the majority of those
on both sides.
Some feel the better method
of easing that situation would
be for the President to veto the
measure and then quietly let it
be known that he will not take
offense if Democratic Senators
vote with the Patmanites.
Such a plan is believed by
some to be in the Administra-
ton minds, the theory being
that the Presidents action would
appease the anti-bonus group
and the Senate's action would
satisfy the bonus advocates.
Senate bonus leaders today were
heralding the delay which has
kept the Patman measure at the
Capitol as a definite gain for the
veterans.
Reports from various sources,
they said, indicated that the
strategy which is being used by
Senator Elmer Thomas CD of
Oklahoma, generalissmo of the
Senate Patman bill bloc, is result
ing in aiding the bonus cause ma
terially.
Public Support Claimed
One bonuSpayment enthusiast
in the Senate said:
~ am sure that during the
time that Senator Thomas mo
ton to reconsider the bill has
been pending considerable addi.
tiOnal public sentiment in our
favor has developed"
There were rumors that a few
of the Senators who had voted
against the bill on passage are
about ready to join the Thomas
group to override the anticipated
veto.
Meanwhile, Senator Thomas
continued to hold in allegiance his
promised action of withdrawing
his motion to reconsider the
measure-which would release the
bill from the Capitol and send it
to the White House.
The Oklahoman explained that
several bonus supporters are
away, and that he wanted to be
sure of all the Senate strength
possible before he permits the
measure to go to the President,
who is expected speedily to send
it back to Congress for action on
the veto.
