LEGAL BEER IN PROSPECT NOW Bend's Dry Law May Be Modified Prospects for legal beer in Bend next month became brighter today when it became known that mem bers cf the city commission ore considering passage of un ordinance to regulate the sule of the 3.2 per cent brew opproved by congress. City Attorney F O. Stadter and City Mummer C. G. Reiter ure preparing .in ordinance to modify the present "bone dry", laws of- Bend and it is f robe bio thai the commissi rncrs will told n special meeting this week lor firt reading uf the new measure. If the commi i'on uasyes a beer, ordinance on first reading this week, the ordinance can be voted upon at the April 5 meeting of the commis sion. By unanim ous consent, the or dinance could be mude elective im mediately. If the commissioners divide over the question, 30 days will have to elapse before tiie new ruling could go into effect. Thirsty citizens of Bend, watching the progress of beer legislation in cmgress, have done coasidernble speculating as to what the Bend commission will do. The only modif ication of Bend's "bone dry" laws was made recently by tho commis sion, which legalized sale and pos session of medicinal liquor under the restrict i'.ns imposed by the Vol stead act. The fact that it was nearly three months after the people of Oregon voted to repeal the state's dry laws before prescription liquor was legalized in Bend led many to believe the commission would be re luctant to legalize 3.2 per cent beer. While no details as to the proposed city ordinance on beer arc available, it is believed the Beckmun beer bill, hotly debuted and finally defeated by the Ores on legislators, will be used as a model for a new ordinance here. City Manager Reiter would not comment on the terms of the pro posed ordinance today, indicating that the measure has not been work ed out. FILE RKPEAL rtmTION Salom. Ore., March 21.

Instead he is expected to express a willingness to cooperate in discus sions amon-the four powers in vclved, France, England, Italy and Germany, provided that certain of the most serious objections of the plan are removed. He will insist that France cannot abandon the little entente ond Po land in favor of tho creation of a dictatorial bloc of the four maior powers in Furope. and he is also expected to insist that the proposed oact be extended to all nut ion on an equality basis, nermitting active par- t lei pat ion by all. j One French viewpoint was ! summed tip today by Senator Ber-1 enffcr who declared: I '"I ' expect that 100,000.000" Slav) from the Baltic to the Adriatic will ! have a word to say about the pro- j posals.

(LP Herbort Hoover returned home to day, received the friendly greetings of his neighbors, and prepared to resume life as a private citizen after four years in the White House. His return to California, where he is regarded as an adopted "native son", was quiet and almcst unher alded.

IP Old Man Winter, like the depression, is not giving up without a struggle. Spring, usually ushered in with breezes and flowers, came to Ore gon today cloaked in snow and fall ing temperatures. Coldest spots in the state were Bend and the Siskiyou summit in southern Oregon, where mercury dropped to 18 degrees, following snow flurries. Light flurries of snow swept across Portland and the Willamette valley early today. Temperature was at 38. Salem reported chilling rains with a 33 temperature. Eugene's mercury was 'at 33, Hood River 36, Baker 24, North Bend 36, Medford 32. The cold wave continued over the northwest with Seattle blanketed by heavy frost with temperature at 34.

(IP) Mid America shivered today, the first day of official spring, as a cold wave swept eastward. Snow and a chilling sleet greeted the entry of spring at 7:43 p. m. last night and the .storm became a "spring" blizzard. At least a dozen victims died because of the cold weather. For the first day of spring snow covered the entire area of the Great Lakes with snow drifted several feet high on some Minnesota high ways. Sleet and rain accompanied the savage winds in the southern sections. The cold weather was regarded by some as an aid to the flooded regions of the Ohio river. If the temper atures were below freezing there, the region would be saved at least temporarily from further dangers of floods. , Kansas City, which was the center of the cold wave yesterday, reported that the backbone of tho cold snap had been broken there as clearing skies and warmer weather were pre dicted for today. On the Pacific coast, temperatures were in the 60s and 70s at Los Angeles and San Francisco, but low in the Pacific northwest. Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming were generally fair. Salt Lake City had a light rain with the temperature at 45. Minnesota and Wisconsin were covered with snow. Some central Wisconsin communities reported the worst blizzard of the year. Traffic was slowed. Illinois and Iowa were battered by a heavy sleet that broke down communication wires, delayed trains and crushed trees under the accumulated ice. Michigan felt the storm as It moved eastward. East Lansing was without electrical rjower for some hours when transmission lines broke. The fruit belt around Benton Har bor. Mich., reoorted that consider able damage- had been done to trees there. - The eastern seaboard felt the first pangs of the cold weather. Spring came in with snow in New England and forecasts for colder tempera tures generally accompanied with rain or snow along most of th At lantic coastline.
