Relaxing of Prescription
Rules Steps Up Consump

Washington, Aug. 12.—(AP)— The
Bureau of Industrial Alcohol today,
set the production of medicinal li
quors at 7,000.000 gallons for the cal
endar year 1934.
Officials at the bureau said that the
allocation the largest since the
eighteenth amendment became effec
tive, was made necessary due to the ;
depletion of medicinal liquor stocks, j
due to the relaxation of restrictions on
prescription distillates.
Consumption of medicinal liquor,
they say, had increased since the en
actment by the last Congress of the
Celler act.
This year’s allocation compares with
an annual production ot 2,000 000 gal
lons in ail previous years since 1929.

Raleigh, Aug. 12. —While the finan
cial outlook for the State is much
better for the next two years than
it has been in more than four years,
with a prospect of a surplus in all
funds ranging from $10,000,000 to sls
-by July 1, 1935, there is little
hope for any increase in the salaries
of State employes wi'hin than a
year, in the opinion of those close
to the Budget Bureau. For this pros
pective general fund surplus at the
end of the next two years is admit
tedly based upon a still undeter
mined factor— the three per cent gen
eral sales tax —according to Assistant
Director of the Budget Frank Dunlap,
while the surplus in the highway fund
is based upon the assumption that the
gains in automobiles sales, license
sales and gasoline consumption in the
past four months will continue for
the next two years.
Estimates Important.
It is agreed here that these esti

highway funds for .the next two years'
or the amounts by which the revenues
