Johnson, vice-chairman at large for the same organ ization, reported she had been holding a series of meetings with women in 24 states and had found that "the hypnotic-hysteria super Induced largely by highly paid brewery propaganda, prior and subsequent to the Chicago con vention, is beginning to abate."

WASHINGTON, March 20 (AP) In an eleventh-hour at tempt to prevent the legalization of S.2 per cent beer, the national conference of organizations sup porting the eighteenth amend ment tonight urged . President Roosevelt to veto the measure. It made public a letter sent to the chief executive contending he eouia not sign the bill, expected to reach the White House tomor row, without yloUUnx ,taa,fantl tution. - "The bill was not designed as a measure ior proniouion en forcement but to raise revenue, the letter said. "It la based upon the false legislative promise of seeking to legalize the maximum amount of alcohol in beverage not actually Intoxicating, which is something physically and scienti fically impossible of accomplish ment, since alcohol affects no two Individuals alike. "The percentage fixed in the bill is that recommended by the representatives of the brewing trade as the amount which would afford the largest volume of sales and result in the greatest amount of revenue to the government." The communication was signed by F. Scott McBrlde, general su perintendent of the Anti-Saloon league of America, and Edward B. Dunford, its attorney; Ella A. Boole, president of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and Izora Scott, the legis lative representative; Clarence True Wilson, general secretary or the board of temperance, prohibi tion and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church; Bishop James Cannon, Jr., chair man of the board of temperance and social service of the Metho dist Episcopal church, South, and Eugene L.

E SEEN Ifl FARM Bill WASHINGTON. March 20 (AP) The administration farm aid plan started a perilous con gressional journey today, shorn abruptly of the bi-party coopera tion that has favored President Roosevelt's previous legislative recommendations. -. The bill came from the house agriculture committee little dif ferent from the form requested by the president. But one of the changes eliminated a requirement that employes meet civil service requirements., rrhe rawest piece of definite partisan action ever presented to the house," was the prompt charge of Snell, republican lead er, who supported the banking and economy Dills and interposed no . strenuous opposition to the beer bill.

FOB PDOUI REPEAL Vote on State law Sought July 21; Legality of Move Questioned H. A. Cornoyer, secretary of the Oregon Hop Growers' associa tion, yesterday filed petitions bearing the names of more than 30,000 voters asking repeal of sections 36 and 36a of the state constitution, under which manu facture and sale of intoxicating liquor is banned In Oregon. The petitions call for a vote on the amendments at the July 21 special election. Whether an in itiative measure can go on the ballot then depends upon an opin ion of the attorney-general who has been asked to Interpret a law passed at the last session, bearing on the situation. In the title of the act it is pro vided that initiated as well as ref erended matters can go on the ballot July 21 but the body of the law seta out that only referended measures can be voted upon. Should the attorney-general ban all Initiative measures from the special election ballot, the next vote will be at the general elec tion in November, 1934.

State Treasurer Holman urged the warrant decision by the board of control, saying the state's gen eral fund was so depleted it would no longer be possible for him to pay bills and salary claims when presented. Governor Meier held the step a necessary one at the present time and Secretary of State Hoss voted for the move although he said it was the first time in many years that the state had issued war rants.

(AP) The eyes of official Italy turn ed toward Paris tonight as Prime Minister Ramsay Mac Donald's tram erossed the frontier, carry ing to Premier Daladier of France, the Mussolini peace plan. The Plan would embrace the entire contin ent of Europe and, to a certain extent, the United States. More optimism was felt here than usual over French agree ment to the Italian proposal bo cause of the confidence express ed by Mr. MacDonald and the cor dial spirit evidenced by Henry de Juvenel, French ambassador, after he had telephoned the con tents' of the plan to Paris. The ambassador appeared at the railway station as the prime minister was ready to leave and talked in friendly fashion both to Mr. MacDonald and to Premier Mpssolini. Before leaving to urge Premier Daladier to approve the project, Mr. MacDonald said that "our whole idea is to open up the pos sibilities of complete agreement no between two, three, four, five or six powers, but all nations con- cerned. This amplified an official Ital ian announcement yesterday that spoke of collaboration of the four powers Britain, Italy, France and Germany. We are not proceeding with an idea of two or three agreeing and imposing agreement on others,' Mr. MacDonald said. "We are not overlooking the United States by any means. We need her, too. The American government will be kept fully Informed concerning the negotiations. ' RAIFORD. Fla., March 20. - (AP) The finale of an assassin's furious drama of bullets that miss ed President Roosevelt but killed Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chi cago, was enacted In the Florida state prison today as Iuseppe Zan- gara died in the electric chair, with a last shout of defiance. The shadow of death lowering over the Italian in the small exe cution chamber utterly failed to temper the raging bitterness against all rulers of men that led him to loose a withering fire at the president in Miami the night of February 15. "Lousy capitalists! Capitalists! All capitalists crooks!" that was the cry of the immigrant a few moments before 2300 volts of elec tricity passed through his body. On the brink of death Zangara maintained, as he had done all along, that he was not a member of any gang but tired at the presi dent on his own initiative.

(AP) Ships' barometers, no doubt. serve their purpose adequately in forecasting weather over a 24- hour span, but a ship's cargo can tell you of the change of an en tire season. This was the solemn assertion of the statistician of the Merchants Exchange here today as he observed that the first day of spring was at hand. The barometer may go up, he said, or it may go down; the al manac may show funny signs and funnier prognostications; the rheumatism may be going strong or it may subside, but when i ship's cargo list shows kid's mar bles, lawn mowers, bird cages and croquet sets then it's spring. In the month of March, this sta tistician found, no less than 325 pounds of marbles reached Port land in one shipment. Then there was an item of 2120 pounds of croquet sets, and another of 846 pounds of bird cages, thousands of pounds of fruit canning accessor ies, 42,912 pounds of lawn mow ers and 540 pounds of roller skates.

Snow flurries and a tempera J ture of 30 degrees were predicted for the tri-state region of C La- j cinnati as the Ohio river, running wildly 'from its banks, approach ed an expected crest of 64 feet, IS feet above flood stage. i The harassed river towns, bow ever, received encouragement in the forecast of cold, believing is. would prevent further heayy rain and check the devastation by wat er, which has cost nine lives b1 unestimated damage- in submerg ed expanses of rural and urban' i lands. .. . The area stretches roughly . from Steubenviile, O., to Evaav vllle, Ind., with Cincinnati tke largest city affected. Although few were left homeless there parts of the city were isolated by; backwaters and transportatiee was hampered. At Newport, Ky, across the river, however, 20r were driven from their homes. The national guard of Kentucky, sent tents from Frankfort into the flood area and United -State troops from Ft. Thomas, Ky., as sisted in relief measures.

But the upper reaches of tke river suffered little compared to such towns as Pomeroy, O., where the water stood fire feet in some streets.
