DEMANDS OF DRYS FORCE I
SENATE HEARINGS ON BEER
BILL; EARLY VOTE BLOCKED
Judiciary Subcommittee to Decide This Week!
If 3.2 Brew Is Legal; Final Ballot
Unlikely for Several Weeks.
BY MARSHALL M’N’EIL
Time* Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—About cocktail time Saturday
afternoon a senate judiciary subcommittee will be prepared
to say whether 3.2 per cent beer is or is not constitutional.
it probably won’t say then,
for it will have just heard six,
lon# hours of argument added
to the interminable years of
prohibition debate.
A hearing has been arranged to
allow wets to say 3.2 per cent beer
Is nalatable and constitutional, and
drys to say it is intoxicating and j
unconstitutional.
But next week, maybe, the sub
committee will report to the full j
committee, which then will de-!
termine whether to report the beer I
bill.
If it does, as expected, then the
measure will be sent over to the
senate finance committee where i
the same wets will say a reasonable
tax will yield about $200,000,000 an- |
nually, and the same drys will say !
it will raise only a fraction of that I
sum.
Vote Late This Month
And so, some time late this month j
perhaps, the senate itself will get j
a chance to vote on the bill.
If the beer bill is defeated or ve- j
toed home brewers w ill sigh and boil j
up another batch and clean up the ;
old bottles. But congress will have
to go on a feverish search for new j
revenue.
If the beer bill is passed with or j
without benefit of the President,!
professional brewers will fire up
their boilers, buy a lot of grain,
bottles, caps, kegs, put several thou
sand persons to work, and the fed
eral treasury will receive consider
able financa! nourishment.
Over Protest of Norris
The decision to prolong the beer
bill agony was reached over the
protest of ‘ Uncle George” Norris,
the senator from Nebraska who is
chairman of the judiciary commit
tee.
He wanted the thing studied by
the committee, and a decision
reached immediately. But profes
sional drys and others had made
insistent demands for hearings.
Seven members of the commit
tee chatted about an open log fire
in their committee room Monday
forenoon, and then sat down about
their great green felt-covered table
and chatted some more.
The upshot was that the beer bill
was referred to a subcommittee,
which was instructed to hear six
hours of argument, equally divided
between wets and drys.
Legal Question Argued
These arguments are to be eon- j
fined exclusively to the question of t
whether or not 3.2 per cent beer can !
be legalized while the eighteenth
amendment, which prohibits any !
sort of intoxicating liquor, remains
in the Constitution.
The subcommittee is headed by!
a very wet senator, John Blaine j
(Rep . Wis.L who already is con-■
vinced that 3.2 per cent beer is per- j
fectly legal.
Also on Senator Blaine's commit- 1
tee is William E. Borah, who's as i
dry as Blaine is wet.

PARK WORKERS
FACE SHAKEUP
75 Regulars Likely to Lose
Jobs in Reorganizing
for Economy.
In order to keep within the re
duced 1933 budget, reorganization of
practically all branches of the city
park department in underway today
with the prospect that seventy-five
regular employes- will be ousted be
fore completion of the shifts.
A. C. Sailee, parks superintendent,
announced merging of the nursery
and greenhouse division under con
trol of Andrew Miller, horticulturist.
Under the new arrangement, the
post of chief florist at the green
house has been abolished.
Posts of a draftsman and two
field aids in the engineering de
partment also have been dropped.
Sallee said that $40,000 probably
will be saved on the annual salary
bill and remainder of the budget
cut made up in the special expense
of conducting playgrounds this
summer. Salary cuts for playground
workers and reduced staffs are as
sured, Sallee said.
Reorganization of the mechanical
department under one head also is
scheduled.
"It means less waste and more ef
ficiency, or else,” Sallee said.

BETTING BILL
SPLITS RANKS
OF FAIR HEADS
Bitter Battle Looming at
Convention Here: Opinion
Evenly Divided.
Prospect of heated battle over
support of legalized horse race bet
ting in the state, faced members of
| the Indiana Association of County
| and District Fairs in the afternoon
! session of their annual convention
today in the Claypool.
Opinion of the members appeared
evenly divided on the question, with
opponents cf the proposed pari
| mutuel bill, expected to be intro
duced in the general assembly, bas
ing their objections almost solely on
moral grounds.
.Members favorable to the measure
were countering, however, with the
argument that betting, although not
sanctioned by law, took place at all
tracks.
‘‘They're going to bet anyhow and
I don't see why we shouldn't get
; revenue from it, both for our asso
! ciation and the state,” declared one
participant in the general discus
sion among members during inter
missions. *
Due to the expected argument, pre
diction on official action of the asso
ciation on the bill was withheld. A
i resolution indorsing the measure
; was expected to be introduced by
! supporters of betting, but there was
l doubt -whether sufficient strength
j could be mustered to pass it.
j In the morning session the speak
| ers outlined economy measures
which had been practiced to reduce
operating budgets of county and dis
j trict fairs. Discussion leaders and
their subjects were U. C. Brouse,
premiums; Rolland Ade, racing pro-
I grams; W. E. Struckman, free acts,
and C. E. Edwards, publicity.
Election of officers will close the
, afternoon session.
$1.50 Hearing Is Postponed
Hearing was postponed today to
Thursday morning in the action of
Gavin L. Payne and others against
Timothy P. Sexton, county treas
urer. and others, in which it is
sought to enforce the $1.50 tax limit
law. Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox will
hear the case.
