The legislature today added its final approval to the Francis measure to legalize wines and beers of 3.2 per cent alcoholic content after the first cf next month. House approval of the proposal on its last reading came on a 75 to 27 vote, not including pairs, and after a few minutes the Senate concurred in several minor House changes In the bill, and the mere formality of ratification kept the measure from being a law.

With beer out of the way, after holding the center of interest in the legislature for ten days, the House turned to consideration of a bill to re-write the State’3 constitution by amendment, and th.e Senate passed a number of minor bills.

Raleigh, April 4.—Now that the House Finance Committee has already decided to bring out a revenue bill calling for a two per cent general sales tax, there is no longer any doubt that the general sales tax will become the basis for the discussion of the sales tax issue. But it is not altogether certain that the House will accept the recommendation of the finance committee with regard to a general sales tax, Xn fact, there is ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED P of L, 'thw A ??P wik ® SERVICE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

STEWART Washington, Apr‘;l 4. President Roosevelt’s afforestation program was not acted on in Congress until it had been considerably altered from its original form. As introduced, it was attacked on the ground that it sought to establish a system unplea santly like peonage. It may be taken for granted that it was not so intended and perhaps it would not have worked out so but it unquestionably conveyed that idea to certain folk, for they said so. The curious feature of the whole affair is that millions of Americans undoubtedly are still in ignorance as to just what it does provide. It was a measure to create an army of 250,- 000 men ,to work for the government under conditions which well-inform ed individuals spoke of as bordering on slavery. One would imagine that not an American would have felt se cure until personally satisfied that it contained no such danger. Yet, with a little tinkering, it was possible to get it approved by the U. S- senate with out even a roll call. IL DUCE, PACIFIST Italian Ambassador Rosso is sys tematically press agenting what he calls the “Mussolini plan” for peace in Europe.

S. S. Akron, largest airship in the world, crashed in flames at sea early today with 76 men. Ten hours later only four of those men hsd been found, and one of them lied later, making this apparently by far the greatest disaster in the whole history of lighter-than-air flights, a history which has been spot ted by numerous major tragedies. The Akron was caught in a violent electrical storm shortly after mid eight 25 miles out from the sand iunes of the Jersey coast, in the re gion of Barnegat.
