By LOUI3 P. LOCHNER HELSINGFORS. Finland. Dec 31 (AP) Prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists alike admitted tonight as the returns came In from the country-wide referen dum that 1932 is likely to be a wet year for Finland. In the former parliament build ing 610 clerks worked In three shirts to tabulate the vote and by nine o'clock their count of about one-fifth the total vote indicated 75 per cent were for repeal of the present prohibition laws, 24.2 per cent voted to retain the laws and 0.8 ner cent tor modification to permit the sale of light wines and beer. Sixty per cent of the repeal votes in early returns in this city were cast by women. The largest newspaper In Hels Ingfors estimated on the basis of its own poll In various sections of the country that the final vote would show a 68 per cent major ity for repeal. The trend was disappointing to prohibition Quarters, but the lead ers of that faction Indicated a de termination to continue their tight against alcohol. Helslnxfors celebrated. New Tear's eye with liquor in evidence in almost every restaurant ana hotel. No effort was made to con ceal the contents of bottles and glasses and the waiters openly asked the patrons what brand of champagne, wine or cordial they preferred. JEW YEAR REVELS 8 NEW YORK, Dec. 31 (AP) New York pitched a party for the Infant year 1932 with its tradl tional din and an undertone of police whistles A series of recent raids led by federal prohibition agents was cli maxed in the afternoon by an in vasion of one of the most gilded mid-town establishments. The Royal Box, with two glistening bars and a circular staircase, was raided while Its chefs were roast ing fat turkeys in preparation for the New Year s eve festivities Thsrfl wnre the usual celebra.- I tions in the hotels catering to dancing couples, silk-hatted thea- ter goers' and their orchid-studded companions. But the couverts were reduced sharply. The lower prices, said the pro prietors in unison, brought the crowds crowds eager to make merry, to dance under 1 shifting lights and to blow tin horns in an ticipation of a gladder 1932. Broadway, as always, was the scene of the people's celebration the "people who don't don even ing gowns and formal black but who enjoy the abandon of glitter ing lights.

(AP) .His 72 years resting lightly upon him, Albert Toiler came home today to see the New Year in and to ring with his own hands for the 60th consecutive year the bell in the steeple of the old Methodist church. In 1872 the first church build ing was erceted in this Washing ton county seat. Albert Toiler rang out the old year and the bell welcomed the new. Each year thereafter to the present day he has commemorated the event.

Representative Rainey of Illinois, democratic house leader and Chairman Collier of the house ways and means committee. With approval, Chairman Col lier will introduce the bill and immediately call his committee to gether to consider the measure. Hearings are not expected to oc cupy much time la view of the fact that the rate schedules are not to be opened.

The debt ratios of the various districts, with the exception of the port or Astoria are below per cent of the assessed valua tions, which places the bonds of the districts in virtually the same position as bonds of school dis tricts with respect to value of .property as security for the bonds of the districts. School districts are permitted by law to bond themselves to an amount not exceeding 5 per cent of the assessed valuations for buildlng purposes.
