Victors Over Drink
Seek Larger Quarters
As Interest Grows
Alcoholics Anonymous
Meeting Is Attended
By About 100
BY ROBERT A. ERWIN.

The Washington Chapter Of
Alcoholics Anonymous, brotherhood
Of recovered alcoholic addicts, had
Its first case OF acute growing pains
at last nights weekly meeting in a
downtown clubhouse.
Approximately 100 old and new
members and interested observers
hlled the hall to capacity and started
leaders on a search for new place
with larger accommodations In
recent weeks, the local branch has
grown rapidly, drawing members
from all walks of life.
While a younger Alcoholic
Anonymous presided over, the gen.
eral meeting, the organizations
background was reviewed by a
senior leader, heretofore designated
as Mr. Y, whose experience with the
national movement dates back vir-
tually to its inception in New York
five years ago.
Tells Of Plight.
With all the informality Of A. A.
speakers, Mr.. Y stood in the middle
Of the audience, rather than at the
speakers table, and told his story.

years correcting it. finally reached
the point where I had no power
to stop. Then I knew. was help
less"
Mr.. Y was once an alcoholic vic
time in the same New York hospital
with the founder of the movement,
which now has following in many
Of the larger cities of the Nation.
Every time I meet a man who is
battling with John Barleycorn I
know the fight that is going on in
side of him." Mr.. Y continued.
"Here we have found certain prin-
ciples that have seemed to work.
There are no individuals who have
been worked on with more serious
ness than alcoholics" He then dis
cussed the first eight points in the
12-point creed of Alcoholics Anony-
nous, including the admission Of
inability to control drinking and
coming to believe that a Power
greater than ourselves could restore
us to sanity"
Points Suggested
These IL steps or points are sug-
Eested," Mr.. Y emphasized. Get
that word-suggested. We are not
out to force anything on anybody.
We are out to tell those who are
interested and those who want it.
To those who want to continue to
drink, more power to them if they
can handle it."
One by one, each member and
visitor in the meeting stood up to
identify himself-or herself, since
there were 20 women present-and
TO tell why he or she was there.
A representative Of the Philadel-
phia chapter was among the guests.

One Civic Leader Tells

Fight Might Be Hurt

Witnesses disagreed before a Sem

setting up election machinery for
choosing the District delegates to
the national political conventions
would help or hurt the fight for
national representation for WASH
ingtonians.
The subcommittee is considering
the Capper bill, under which a pri-
mary would be held on the first
Monday in May to vote for both the
Democratic and Republican con-
vention delegates.
Evan H. Tucker. president of the
Northeast Washington Citizens As
sociation, while not opposing the
bill in principle, called this an in
opportune time to pass it, expressing
fear that. because of the short time
before the conventions, a large
turnout at the polls would not he

fear the result would initiate

Opposite View Taken.
William H. Mondell, vice president
of the District Suffrage Association,
took an opposite view. He Endorsed
both national representation and
local self-government, but contended
the proposed primary law would be
a first step toward those objectives.
Mr.. Mondell, who testified he is a
Republican, also criticized plans he
said were made last night by the
Republican State Central Commit

He told the Senators the State

1900 Germans Held
Oslo Two Days by
Bluff and Music
RoIIiekine Tunes LuIIed
Natives Into Forgetting
Resistance Until Too Lote
By LELAND STOWE.

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent
STOCKHOLM, April 1.-THE
Nazi regime conquered Oslo by ruse
and treason. but less than 5000
German troops held Norway's cap
ital for the first 48 hours by a
gigantic bluff. Most of all, they
kept the more than 250000 Osloans,
who remained in the capital, mes
merized by music discreetly inter-
mixed with cocky parades in differ
ent sections of the city by 20, so or
perhaps 100 soldiers at time.
But music and song were the chief
weapons used to lull the public into
an illusion of normalcy. Thus, we
witnessed the extraordinary spec
tacle of nations capital being held
securely by impromptu soldiers
choruses. by one 12-piece military
band and by two accordions.
The Germans. at least the Nazi
leaders, have learned a lot more
about psychology than they are
given credit for. This is why the
tiny force of German occupation
was able to dominate Oslo from the
moment it set foot on the land,
simply through bluff and rollicking
tunes. The Nazi band began it's
concerts in the park along Carl
Johan boulevard, in the center of
the city, the morning after the oc-
cupation. Soon several hundred
Norwegians clustered around, listen
ing to jovial rendition of Roll
Out the Barrel" They kept COM
ing and pausing for 10 minutes or
more in groups and nobody seemed
to think of rolling out the Germans.
Soldiers Sing on March.
On Wednesday morning, too, one
company of spick and span men,
their rifles shining, marched down
Carl Johan boulevard, pounding
their heels slowly and singing as
they went.
Meanwhile. skeleton bodies of
troops, occupying Parliament and
City Hall, also developed an urge to
sing popular songs and old German
favorites from the windows. But the

D. A. R. Votes 10 Paw
100000 Debt on
Constitution Hall
Money Accumulated
For Purpose Without
Appeal to Members

The Daughters of the American
Revolution voted at the 49th Con-
tinental Congress today to clear
Constitution Hall of its 100000 in
debtedness before the Golden Jubi-
lee celebration in October.
Before the resolution. one of the
six presented in the morning session,
was passed, Mrs. Henry M. Robert,
jr., president general, corrected a re-
port that contributions from men,
bers would be needed to pay of four
$25 900 notes.
She won a round of applause when
she announced that sufficient money
had been accumulated to meet the
obligation without appeals to the
membership for funds.
Other resolutions passed without
objection thanked the United States
Forest Service for giving the D. A. R
the opportunity to plant penny pines
in Memorial Forest, Golden Jubi-
lee project; closed the list of D. A
R.-approved schools at IA; ordered
that the July and August issues of
the National Historical Magazine be
combined to save money for use on
Golden Jubilee issue in October
and provided that trust funds estab-
lshed by the D, A. r. for specific
purposes be retained and admin
istered by the society.
Defense Resolutions Awaited.
The occasion for the last .resolu-
ton. it was explained. was that the
D. A. n. had a $500 trust fund in
an organization which had been
closed. The D. A. R. got its money
back. but, Mrs. Robert said, here
after will administer its own trust
fund.
The approved school resolutions
the first of which ordered that NO
replacements be made in the list
when vacancies are created and the
second of which simply named the
approved schools, was caused by many
applications from various States
for inclusion of schools on the ap-
proved list.

Bill Leasing Timber
To Reich Wins Test
In Rumanian Senate
Action Is Taken Despite
Army Protest Thot 1t
Jeopordizes Defense
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, April 1.-THE Ru-
manian Senate Professionally ac-
cepted today government bill to
give Germany a 30-year lease on
almost 100000 acres Of timber-de-
spite testimony of army officers
that the lease would jeopardize ma
tional defense.
Ionescu Sisesti, minister of agri-
culture, defended the bill on grounds
that it was part of an economic un-
derstanding with Germany which
greatly benefited Rumania.
Military experts said the vast
forest reserves in Central Rumania
constituted a natural defense line.
High-ranking officers declared
that enactment of the bill would be
a great strategical error, allowing
Germany to send large corps of
experts and workmen into forests
located at "the most vulnerable
spot in the country" on the old
Rumanian-German border.
Sisesti said the Germans should
be allowed to build railroad and
establish factories there to carry out
lumber operations.
The agriculture minister said the
Germans had agreed to replant cut
over land and to train Rumanians in
forest culture.
Export Embargo Protested.
Germany previously had protested
Bucharest's embargo on wheat ex-
ports and temporary stoppage of oil
shipments and. it was acknowledged
in official quarters, Rumania is in
an extremely difficult position.
The action which Rumania took
Monday to fortify herself by storing
for her own use such vital commodi-
ties as wheat and oil paradoxically
was seen as having the contrary
effect of further straining relations
with Germany.
DR.. Karl Clodius, head of the Ger
man trade delegation which has
been negotiating here for weeks,
was said to have complained that
the Rumanian governments new
restrictive measures violated Ger
man-Rumanian trade agreements
which the Nazis insist promised them
an uninterrupted flow of Rumanian
wheat and oil
Severe Blow to Reich.
Foreign observers saw the new
measures as severe blow to Ger
many's war economy. Rumania, in
some years, has exported to Ger
many more than one million metric
tons of wheat a year, which is about
two-thirds of Germany's normal
import requirements. CA metric ton
equals 1,102 short tons or 3671
bushels of wheat)
Rumania's wheat production ir
1898 was 1922 900 metric tons. Ot
this, Germany took 100000 tons
Yugoslavia in that year exported
100000 tons to Germany and Bull
garia exported another 100000 tons
Rumania in addition, has taken
other measures for defense. Hell

ready to 60 under navy rule today

program to prepare the nation for
the possibility of war. Gen. Pau
