WASHINGTON, March 22. WP) President Roosevelt signed the 3.2 per cent beer and wine bill into law today immediately on receiving it from the capitol. It legalizes the beverages to be sold, where not otherwise prohibited, as soon as the clock strikes midnight April 6- Fourteen states allow the sale of the beer, which must be held to 3.2 per cent alcohol by weight, or 4 per cent by volume. The President wasted no time on the act, to which he looks for at least tax contribution toward balancing the budget. Action Is Due Today WASHINGTON, March The house labor committee today took up President Roosevelt's plan to employ 3850,000 men on forest and flood control projects, with a view to quick action.

Prompt consideration in the house was assured, despite the opposition developing in some quarters. The plan will be pressed for passage as soon as the farm relief bUI. due to be passed today, is out of the way. Shielded carefully from amendments, the farm bill was borne forward by a big Democratic majority functioning with the power of a smooth-running steam roller. Definite, concrete measures by President Roosevelt to reform the banking and railroad situations, under his new deal, are rapidly taking shape.

He wants a basis laid before this session" of congress ends. All may not be accomplished before adjournment, but the fundamentals he deems necessary to prevent any recurrence of recent troubles will and must be enacted, hcsays.

O'Conor Goolrlck, Fredericksburg attorney, formor state senator and long an outstanding figure in the public life ot Virginia, a petition urging him to oppose Senator Harry F. Byrd In the August primaries had been signed by approximately persons last night. Circulation of tha petition toon Mr, Goolrlek completely by sur-prlise, 'l know nothing about It or who Is back of It," he said over the long-distance telephone when he was asked to comment on it.

Byrd recently was appointed by Governor Pollard to fill the vacancy in the United States senate created when Senator Claude A. SwanBon resigned to become secretary of the -navy In the Roosevelt cabinet. The ap pointment was not for the unexpired term of Senator Swanson, as many persons have supposed, but until the next general election which, preceded by the August Democratic primaries, will be held in November.

ANGARA IH BURIED WITH BRIEF SERVICE AT PRISON cemetery: RAIKORD, Fla March 22.

(IV) In a brief service, Guiseppe Zangara, the assassin, who was electrocuted for the murder of Mayor Anton Cermak, of Chicago, was buried yeeterday in "Gopher Hill," the small cemetery at the state prison farm here. A rumbling truck carried the body from the prison hospital to the burial ground, where the rough pine casket was lowered into the grave by six guards. The Rev. L. O.

Sheffield, prison chaplain, read a brief scripture and prayer as the state officially closed its caee against the Italian immigrant who mortally wounded Mayor Cermak and shot three other persons in an unsuccessful attempt to kill President Roosevelt at Miami Feb. 15. Assailing "capitalists" to the last, and with his only regret that cameramen were not permitted to photograph him in the electric chair, Zangara paid with hie life for the crime in the death chamber thirty-three days after the shooting occurred. appear to be that if the plan Is confined to the four powers Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy It will tend to divide Europe into two categories of nations and will infringe on th prerogative of the Lesfa of Nations, In which all iMixdMsr have the same rights. TO DEMAND ARMS; HOMEBODY ELSE'S WORRY! NEW YORK, March 22 (A) Mankind, Dr.

Bruno Oet-teklng, of Columbia university says, will be completely bald by the year 2500, unless haircuts go out of style. Women, too, the anthropologist said, have become susceptible to the falling-hair stage which precedes baldness, because of the bobbed hair style. Dr. Octteking has been studying hair decline for years and has found that the scalp requires a definite aittoun( of "hair weight" to keep Its strength. When the hair is cut, the necessary weight is lost, the scalp weakens and the hair falls out, he explained, 1 JUDGMENT FOR $2,500 AGREED TO IN BROWN CASE When the 110,000 suit of Millio L.

(ff) Unless signs are misleading, Germany again will be a military nation before another year is past.

Outwardly it already hag a military aspect. The brown uniforms of Chancellor Adolf Hitler's national socialist storm troops dominate the street scene. Protected by the police and having the sympathy of the regular army of 100,000 permitted ry the treaty of Versailles, theae 800,000 brown shirts confidently await the moment When universal military training shall have been restored in the fatherland. Masses Ask Universal Training And not only these 800,000 believe In a conscript army or militia. So do the 1,000,000 World war veterans who drill with the steel helmet association.

So do the vast majority of the millions of voters who cast ballots for Hitler in recent elections and for President von Hinden-burg a year ago. Nor is the enthusiasm for military training confined to the nationalistic parties of the right. Heinrich Uruenlng, centrist leader when he was chancellor never made a secret of his belief that every male citizen should be taught to shoulder a rifle. Socialists Like General Idea The republican relchsbanner, made up chiefly of socialists with a fair sprinkling of centrists, was outspokenly In favor of the na tional "curatorium for strength ening youth," formed under ths aegis of General Wllhelm Greener, former minister of defense and as staunch a republican as ever held a caDinet seat in post war Germ ny. That, plan contemplated mass training in setting-up exercises, scaling walls and similar military stunts and in teaching youth to obey commands.

Roughly speaking It can be as serted that only a small fraction of the socialist, the consistent pacifists and the communists are opposed to re-introduction of conscription. Moreover the communists op tham, recording secretary; and from various committees, those on better films, the correct usage ot the Flag, and the society's magazine. Two Invitations Officers announced that invitations for the 1934 conference had already been received from the Portsmouth and the Salem-Roanoke chapters. Selection will be made late in the convention. The conference decided to purchase a national D.

A. R. flag and a Virginia state flag. Action followed the report made by the chairman of the correct usage of the- Flag committee. Spirited Discussion A spirited discussion arose over the preservation of Revolutionary records in county courthouses of the state.

Members of boards of supervisors came in for centre' and commendation. It was stated that the county records in Surry, Fairfax, Goochland, Brunswick, Prince Edward, and Southampton counties were, in part, in a "terrible condition." One county record book in Surry had a large hole torn in every page of the 345-page volume. Forty-five pages in the county record book In Fairfax were described as in a "horrible condition of mutilation." The united sentiment seemed to be that the preservation of these old records was the most important phase of the D. A. R.

work. The state regent stated that the placing of historical markers, restoration of historic churches, edifices, could come later, but said that once the Revolutionary records were destroyed, afl was destroyed so far as the work of the organization is concerned. Following this discussion, voluntary contributions were asked for, and a total of $200 was raised in a very few minutes. Some of the money was given on behalf of chapters of the D. A.

while others were personal contributions. Announcement was made that railroad identification tickets to the National congress of the D. A. which is to assemble in Washington, D. could be secured from the corresponding secretary.

Tuesday evening of this congress, the Virginia Daughters will hold their banquet in BANK IS NAMED conseuvatop RICHMOND, March 22. (fPy The Federal Reserve bank, of Richmond, announced today that the First National bank, of York-town, had been relicensed for full reopening, effective today. The reserve bank also was notified this morning of the appointment of Charles E. Plum-mer, president of the First National Bank and Trust of Petersburg, as conservator for that institution. 0 THE VOLSTEAD ACT AND THE NEW LAW (Associated Press) This is how the beer bill would make legal the beverages to which it applies: The Eighteenth amendment, which became effective Jan.

16, 1920, provides specifically that: The manufacture, sale, or transportation of Intoxicating liquors within, the Importation thereof into, or the exportation thereoT from the United States and all territory subject to the Juurlsdii-tion thereof for beverage purpos es is hereby prohibited. The congress and the several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legis lation." The "appropriate legislation," tb Volstead act, wu passed by congress in October, 181 over President Wilson's veto to enforce hte Eighteenth amendment when it came into effect. The Vol stead act described as Intoxicating" brandy, whiskey, rum, gin, beer, ale, porter, and wine containing one-half of one per cent alcohol or more. The new law amends the Vol stead act so as to exempt beer, ale, porter, staut, other malt beverages, and wines which do not contain more than 3.2 per cent alcohol The fefect of the new law simp ly ii to declare nonlntoxicating this beverages named which eon-tain no more tba 2.2 per cent RULES NATION posite i based Ibks upon pacific Ideals, than upon their conception that a conscript army In a non-soviet country would be but a tool of capitalism for subjugating the working classes. That is also the position- of many Chancellor Adolf Hitler is counted upon to carry out plans a people's army.

His party has been committed from the beginning to that Idea and its whole organization in along military lines. All over Germany leaders and eub-leaders among the storm troops and the steel helmeters are expecting the summons to help organize Germany's new conscript, militia. utneers or tne reicnswenr, or regular army, also are eager for the day when the clumping goose step shall resound once more along German streets and by ways. 4 Promotion in the small, select professional army has been slow. A conscript system would make better Jobs for all these professional soldiers.
