BV C. A. PAUL. Raleigh, March 5 Speculation as to the fate of the Hill liquqor-control hill is rife here as the measure is sche duled today for its first discussion on the Senate floor. Chances for its successful passage are doubtful. Reported out of Senate Judiciary Committee No. 2 last week with a “without prejudice" re port by a vote of 11 to 4, and placed on the calendar only to be deferred until today at the request of Senator John Sprunt Hill, of Durham, the measure is expected to be the subject for considerable debate and the object of many amendments. Highly probable is the offering of an amendment already prepared by Senator Hill himself which would strike out the proposed Statewide re ferendum on the measure and would substitute a local city-county option plan. It is the opinion of observers here that such an amendment would increase materially the chance foi passage of the bill.

The troops, moving forward, sur rounded 6ne rebel battalion at Por rori. and these were reported to have laid down their arms. Other revolu tionary troops were captured at Nigritta. The mass attack came with stun ning suddenness in view of the gov ernment's announcement yesterday that the rebels had one day in which to lay down their arms. The sudden offensive indicated that Premier Tanayoti Tsaldaris and his ministers intended to clean up the rebellious situation without the loss of an hour’s time. No official word was heard in Athens as to the whereabouts of for mer Premier Eleutherios Constantine Venizelos. whom the government ac cused of leading the rebellion. It was assumed, however, that he was still in Crete.

These diplomatic circles character ized the sidestepping of the confer ence Thursday as a “diplomatic form” of cancelling the long expected talk completely. The British white paper given to parliament in connection with the British government’s plea for an in crease in military expenditures allud ed to charges that Germany was re arming, and said: “This re-arming, if continued at the present rate, unabated and uncon trolled, will aggravate the existing anxiety of Germany’s neighbors, and may consequently produce a situation where peace, will be imperilled.” The diplomats, as soon as they had heard of Hitler’s postponement, im mediately jumped to the conclusion that Hitler was angry.

The Legion representatives appear ed before the House Ways and Means Committee after the committee, in a heated discussion, rejected 14 to 6. a Republican motion to call upon the Treasury and Veterans Administra tion for an expression of their atti tude toward bonus payment.
