Minority Party Premier and Cabinet Receive
 No Confidence Vote

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 4 lP - Premier Knud KristenSen, whose minority government fell today, was granted permission by King Fred erick TX to call new elections. No date was set, but it was generally expected they would be held Oct 30.
 The Premier paid a formal call upon the King to inform him of the crisis, preoipitated when the lower chamber of Parliament cast an 80 to 66 vote of no confidence on a resolution criticizing Kristen sen for his attitude on the South Schleswig question as voiced in speeches outside Parliament.
 Under Danish law Kristensen's middle of -the-road government will remain in power on a trusteeshlp basis until election results are an- nounced. Then it will submit a formal resignation.
 South Schleswig, which has been a controversial issue for some time, is in Germany just south of the Danish border,
 The Danish government notified Britain Oct. 13, 1946 that it did not demand the incorporation of South Schleswig into Denmark for the time being" but left the decision to resi- dents of South Schleswig.

Disti||ers Take Pledge 10 Cuf Grain Consumption by
 50Pertent;; Brewers in Line

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 R- Armed with a pledge from more than half of the whisky industry to cut it's grain consumption 50 per cent, President Truman's Citizens Food Committee today tackled the nations brewers for a similar con- cession to western Europes distress.
 The Distilled Spirits Institute, after a long session with Commit tee Chairman Charles Luckman and his aides, voluntarily agreed last night to stop using wheat and cut the use of corn, barley and rye by o0 per cent. Luckman said the insti- ute represents 60 per cent of the industry.
 He predicted the remaining 40 per cent would follow suit, while an institute spokesman said enough whisky is now on hand to main tain steady flow to the market of good whiskey despite curtailed operations.
 But Publicker Industries, Inc, said the cut docs do enough and offered to do more, The big beverage and commercial alcohol firm told Luckman its companies stand ready to join immediately in discontinuing all use of grain of any kind in the manufacture of distilled spirits whenever the government requests.
 The agreement with the distillers, announced by Luckman at the White House, was the committees first ma jor move in support of MT. Truman's voluntary self -rationing' plan de- signed to save 100,000,000 bushels of grain to help feed western Europe. This is the margin of difference between this areas estimated need -570, 100000 bushels-and the SUD- plies available.
 .Luckman estimated that the emer- gency will last anywhere from four to 10 months.
 Adoption of the plan by all dis tillers would mean "a saving Of 2,- 500 900 bushels of grain month, Luckman said. This would be mostly corn. An institute spokesman said some wheat is used to flavor rye whisky. but a Publicker official said distillers do not use any wheat, except in emergencies.
 Last next week, it was learned, i the food committee will meet here with spokesmen for the restaurant industry whose leaders will be at tending convention in San Fran cisco in the fore part of the week
 Robert J Wilson. Executive Sec retary of the National Restaurant Association, which already has be- gun a food-saving campaign, told reporter that unless the voluntary conservation drive is successful T am afraid we will be confronted with price regulation and rationing.' The committees activities also were being focused on President Truman's broadcast to the nation at 7:3O P. M.. PSF, Sunday, in sup port of the voluntary drive to buy wisely eat sensibly, waste nothing"

 SUICIDES
 ON VESSEL
Although AbsoIved, He Brooded Over MuIti-MiI-
 lion Dollar Ship Crash

SAN FRANCESCA ,sOct. 4.-IR-A veteran sea captain, breeding over multi-million dollar loss in a Puget Sound collision in which he was of- ficially absolved of blame, hanged himself last night, police reported.
 Capt. Joseph A. Gaidsick, 58, a master for the American Hawaiian Lines, was found hanging by rope thrown over a bulkhead in crews quarters of the SS Sea Devil at it's moorings.
 Gaidsick's previous ship, the Tenn Victory, was in collision with the freighter Diamond Knot in the Strait of San Juan de Fuca during a heavy fog Aug 13.
 The Diamcnd Knot sank with a cargo of Alaskan salmon estimated to run around $3,500,000 in value. The cargo currently is being sal vaged.
 As a result of the collision the Alaska Steamship Company filed a Sl 100000 maritime libel suit against the Fenn Victory, owned by the Federal Government and operated by the Americana Hawaiian Lines.
 (The S1,oO0,00O suit was dismissed in Seattle late yesterday by U. $. District Judge John c. Bowen, who ruled that since the Fenn Victory was owned by the government the court had no power to seize it.
 Gaidsick was absolved of blame by the American Hawaiian Company but he brooded nevertheless.
 Deputy Coroner Ray Brooks said the veteran skipper was to have ap- peared soon before Maritime Con- mission hearing into the Aug. l3 collision.
 He testified at a hearing in Port land that his l0,000-ton ship was thrown into full speed astern as soon as the danger of collision was seen The Fenn Victory returned to Puget Sound under it's own power after the crash.

4LIQU0R LICENSES ARE GRANTEDLAST
 NIGHT BY COUNCIL

City Councilmen Edward S. Nielsen. George Jorgenson, James Larsen and Henry Sully last night reopened Juneau to an unlimited number of liquor establishments by their votes approving the issuance of four new licenses.
 The action taken at last nights Council meeting was a complete reversal of a resolution passed earlier this year which prohibited the approval of any further retail stores or bars.
 Opposing the motion which took the lid off the long -simmerlng liquor license question were Coun- cilmen Burr Johnson and Joe Thibodeau. Mayor Waino Hen drickson also voiced his opposl- ton, as did several members of the audience.
 The four applicants whose retail liquor licenses were approved by the Councils action are Marshall Erwin, Mary and N. J. BaVaru, IT. H. Bates and R. c. Bands, and George Salo.
 The Salo application had been rejected at the last City Council session two weeks ago, and was submitted last night. The three other applications submitted were all new.
 Approval of the four licenses was voted after discussion upon the question of discrimination" against qualified applicants in favor of persons already holding liquor ll- censes who are not as well quali- fled.
 Councilmen and audience enter ed into acrimonious dehate con- corning the question of liquor sales to minors, but the problem was left without solution or even a promise toward prevention.

drunk: They're getting liquor somewhere, and something should be done about it. If the police can't catch them at it, l suggest plainclothesmen."
 Nye stated that when he had asked youngsters where they ob- tained their liquor, they told him they had bought it in bars and liquor stores
 Police Make Check
 Chief of Police Milo Clouse stated, however, that despite con- siderable checking by officers of the force, the police have been un- able to prove that any person or establishment has been selling li- quor to minors.
 He suggested that most of the sales were made to adults who then resold to the teen agers. Councilman Thibodeau reported that one ruse which has been used by an under-age person to obtain liquor is to call up a liquor store on the telephone and order it in his parents name.
 Councilman. Nielsen supported the Police Department in it's fail ure to apprehend gambling n bars. Councilman Johnson then asked him: Are you going to sit there and say we cannot control this town?"
 T am not" shot back Council man Nielsen He tEen went on to urge strong measures to control illegal liquor sales and other viola tions of the law. T would give a man only one chance" he declar- ed. proposing that licenses be re- voked after the first conviction.
 Jack Jackson, proprietor o1 Jacks Cocktail bar, brought up an oft-repeated question. How can you tell when a man is drunk?' he asked, referring to the law which prohibits the sale of liquor to an intoxicated person
 Councilman Johnson answered him: T would deem that to be one of the hazards of your occu- patton" Johnson proposed two motions to the Council, both of which were voted down, four to two, with he and Councilman Thibodeau in favor.
 The first motion was that the four applications before the Coun- cil be denied. The second, pro posed immediately after the first had failed of passage, was that a committee be appointed to meet with the City Attorney to investl- gate the legality of withdrawing all licenses by a special election and then having the City enter the licuor business.
 q believe said Johnson, the raople have right to vote on this" His proposal was promptly rejected by the same four-to-two vote.
 If you gentlemen grant any more liquor licenses, you are violating your public trust" accused Andre DeBarra, proprietor of the Gas tineau Cafe.
 Then, after the vote had been taken and the four license apph- cations approved, DeBarra an nounced that he would apply for a license for his cafe immediately. When asked if he had reversed his stand, DeBarra said:
 NO. run a restaurant, not a booze joint" He explained that since the Council had opened the town, he didn't want to be "lelt out.'
