Six Pages SOUTHERN STATES YIELDING SLOWLY TO DR1VE0F WETS Prohibitionists Lose Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas, But Win 4 Other States Alabama Bars Beer By Kl WKRKMAN United Press Staff Correspondent ATLANTA. Ga. (UP) A lew oases are appearing In the traditionally dry South, but Dixie still remains the stronghold of the prohibition forces. Outside of Kansas, the other le gally dry states of the country Mis sissippi. Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee. Texas. North Carolina, and Oklahoma all are In the South. Reluctantly the drys took defeat this year in three southern states Arkansas. Florida and South Carolina. But the prohibition forces claimed victory, or at least partial victories. In Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina. I, oral Option (n a Vote A state-wide liquor bill was defeat ed in the North Carolina legislature this year, but 18 counties were grant ed permission to hold local option elrctlons as to whether liquor will be legalized in their communities. By a 243-vote majority, the drys won the election of May 15 to repeal Georgia's 27-year-old dry law. The wets were victorious, however, In polling an 8.000-vote majority for le galization of the sale of beer and Georgia made wines. Wets have taken to the state supreme court two cases testing the validity of the drys' vie- tory in the hard liquor referendum, but legal authorities believe there Is little chance of overturning the 343- voto dry majority. Altihnma Wets Lose Alabama defeated proposals In a February election to legalize liquor, beer and wine. The wets were given another setback In Tennessee when the leglslatur there defeated a liquor bill. Legislatures of Arkansas. Florida and South Carolina passed measures legalizing sale of liquor. The Florida legislature acted after the citizens last fall repealed the prohibition amendment to the state constitution. No regular legislative session Is be lng held In Mississippi this year, so the dry law there Is likely to stand for some months. ' The sale of beer Is legal In alt southern states except Alabama. Prior to this year, liquor was ! calized in Louisiana, Virginia and i Kentucky. FOR 49TH STATE OKLAHOMA CITY (UP) A 49th state, Texlahoma, is being sponsored. A move Is under way to dls-associate 23 western Oklahoma counties and 46 counties of the Texas panhandle thousands of square miles with some 1.000.000 citizens from the two suites. Capital city of the new state, ac cording to A. P. Sights, Clinton. Okla., chairman of the committee seeking to achieve the projected secession, prob ably would be Amarillo. Tex. Sights Is polling legislators on the proposed move, and says the answers have been favorable by a 2-to-l ma jority. Sponsors of the movement argue that the Oklahoma "secession sector" Is so far from the state capltol in some instances 300 miles that theirs Is the "forgotten people" insofar as state benefits roads, hospitals and relief are concerned. Sights declares that the 23 Okla homa counties "are $9,000,000 behind In road improvements." The plan Is for a huge convention of representatives of the vast area proposed for the new state. The con- vention time has been fixed for "some time this summer." to set up permanent, active organization to work for the 49th state, and a new star In the flag. Iowa racps slum Problem DES MOINES.

Va (UP) "The Shag." a barbaric-like dance, promises to exceed the Charles ton In popularity In this area. Barred in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore. Boston, and even nearby Richmond, "the Shag' has retained its hold upon Virginia seashore re sorts. It never has been approved as a dance. It's a hybrid. Lindy Hop, and some say the St. Vitus Dance. It Is a constant Jumping dance to the fastest foxtrot time. "The Shag" Is the most exhaustive dance known and requires a tremen dous amount of physical exertion. But girls explain that since dancing it they have reduced their weight. That alone may be the reason for its pop ularity among the feminine sex. Yet whatever it holds for the male part ner is a mystery. According to tr.e rules, no man holds the girl he's started "shagging" with. A tap on the shoulder, and a change Is made In the stag line.
