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last fall repealed the prohibition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.

OLD POINT COMFOHT BEACH. 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
