Sunday Closings
Will Cramp Nation S
Celebration
But Festival Promises.
To Be One Of Goyest
In Decade
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Bidding farewell to the '30s. con-
vivial Americans throughout the
country began three-day celebra-
ton of the New Year last night.
It promised to be one of the
gayest festivals of the decade.
The national round of receptions,
parties and dances started "a hours
earlier than usual because Of New
Years Eve falling on a Sunday
night. In many communities where
laws restrict undue merriment on
the Sabbath, the principal celebra-
ton was held last night.
This was true in Kansas City,
where, like other Missouri cities,
liquor sales are prohibited from
midnight Saturday until midnight
Sunday. Many clubs in Indianap-
oils moved their celebrations up one
day. Indiana has banned the sale
of liquor on Sundays.
Prices Down in New York.
The great metropolitan centers,
however, were planning to celebrate
New Years Eve on the traditional
night. New Workers may quench
their thirst at 1900 bars, and in
the cabarets they will be permitted
to drink until am. Prices were
generally down, and reservations up.
In Chicago the police department
informed merrymakerS that their
consciences would be their guides
on the big night. Loop hotels re-
ported they had sold out their
party accommodations at prices
ranging from 81 to $40 a couple.
Some of the Nations most famous
streets will be the scenes of mass
celebrations - Randolph street in
Chicago, Times Square in New York,
around which all traffic will be re-
routed; broad Canal street in New
Orleans, and San Francisco's Mar
ket street.
$50 Extra Policemen.
Los Angeles authorities have ar
ranged to rope of six blocks of Hill
street and Broadway for the cele-
orators and have assigned $50 extra
policemen to keep their antics under
control. A 2 am. liquor curfew will
be strictly enforced.
Among the New Year Day cele-
brations will be the annual Num-
mers' parade in Philadelphia. in
which thousands of costumed
marchers will compete for prizes.
Reports from throughout the
country showed that Sunday laws
had resulted in a greatly increased
number of home parties being
plenned this wear. Portland, Oreg..
police insisted they would enforce
ban against dancing on Sunday,
and many of the public parties
moved out of town.
Must Drink Faster"
Iowa folks rushed to liquor stores
last night for supplies to last them
from 9 pm. Saturday until 9 am.
Tuesday. Only private clubs are
permitted to sell beer and liquor On
Sunday.
Liquor sales in Michigan tonight
will be restricted to the period from
midnight until 2 am. Gov. Dickin-
son said If that wasn't long enough
Evening star., 1939-12-31

for some they'll just have to drink
faster"
Labor and liquor laws tended to
cramp the style of Connecticut cele-
orators. Professional women enter
tainers can't work after 10 pm. ex-
cept in theaters and hotels, and
liquor sales will be limited to from
1901 am. Monday to 3 am. in some
towns.
Will Enforce Law.
State liquor agents said they would
enforce rigidly Ohio's closing hours,
in most cases l am. In addition 20
State stores, all taprooms, other than
clubs, making ver-the-counter
sales, will be closed in Pennsylvania
from midnight last night until
a m Monday.
The dryest spot in the Nation
promised to be Oklahoma, where
"hooch" prices were up Is per cert.
with the supply the lowest in a
decade. Federal agents have closed
number of export houses anG dis
tilleries in adjacent wet" States for
selling liquor to runners.

Will Enforce Ban.
Hundreds of Washingtonians will
escape the Sunday ban on liquor at
their private clubs in nearby Mont
gomery County, Md. The Sunday
ban is in effect, and will be en-
forced, police say, in the public
places.
The Sunday law may be relaxed
somewhat in Prince Georges County,
although the same Sunday rules for
the sale of liquor to be consumed
on the premises are in effect there.
Under the regulations, hard drinks
can only be dispensed between mid
night and 2 am. tomorrow.
Dine and dance places in both
counties are planning public New
Year parties. A few in Prince
Georges County announced two cele-
brations, one last night and the
other tonight. Only wines and beers
can be sold for consumption on the
premises in Virginia. Several nearby
night spots are planning gay cele-
brations, however.
While night club and theater
crowds will form the noisy, spec
tacular minority, the majority of
Washingtonians will celebrate the
holiday more quietly with their FAM
lilies and friends in homes through
out the city.
Many cabinet members and Gov
ernment officials left Washington
for the holiday, while President and
Mrs. Roosevelt planned a quiet New
Year Eve in the White House.
There will be no revival by the
RooSevelts tomorrow of the tradi-
tional New Year reception for the
public.
Mrs. Roosevelt's Message.
Many will join with Mrs. Roose-
velt in the New Year wish that
1910 will bring peace to the world.
In her annual message, Mrs. Roose-
welt urged the Nation to prepare for
world peace by making a concrete
contribution to democracy.
Il think all of us should bend
every effort" she said, ito give
whatever We can give in our own
localities to the end that democracy
may meet the need of the people
