AUSTIN. April 18 • The senate com-
mittee on constitutional a andmsnte
Monday voted a unanimous favorable
report on a house resolution propos-
ing submission to the people of tho
question of legalization of 3.2 per cent
beer. The proposed const tutional
amendment would l»* submitted on
next August 26.
A few members of,the committee
expressed opposition to the local op-
tion feature of the resolution, but
took no action after they wer« warn-
ed that any material alteration might
kill the proposal.
Amendments Opposed.
Senator W K Hopkins ot Gonzales
one of the leading senate advocates
of legalized beer, pointed out that the
resolution was adopted by the bouse
under an agreement by the beer and
anti-beer functions. He asserted that
if the proposal were materially
changed, it might upset this agree-
ment and result in the resolution not
receiving the two-thirds
necessary for submission.
Tile proposed constitutional amend-
ment would provide that political
subdivisions which were dry liefore
the adoption of statewide prohibition
would not be given beer immediately
• ven though the state should approve
legalization. The voters of those sub-
divisions would have to approve le-
galization in another election before

WASHINGTON. April 13.—To Col. |
Lawrence Westbrook, state relief di-
rector. has been delegated the job of (
recruiting 11.750 unemployed Texans j
for work in President Roosevelt's civ-
ilian conservation corps.
Officials of the advisory board, in
charge of administration of the re-
forestation project, today said that all
details, such as the quotas for each
city and county, qualifications of the
men. concentration points and the
opening date of recruitings will be de-
termined by Colonel Westbrook, ex-
cept, however, about 1200 men who
will be selected with co-operation of
the United States forestry service to
serve as camp leaders, foremen and
similar positions.
It Ls expected that Colonel West-
brook will draw most of the men
from the rolls of the state unemploy-
ment relief commission. Services of t
, ibor department's employment of-
fices in Houston. San Antonio. El Pa- 1
so, Dallas. Fort Worth. Abilene and |
Beaumont also probably will be called
s upon.

I concentrated for training and condi-
| tioning is to be worked out by Wcst-
I brook and General Winans, com-1
1 mander of the Eighth Corps Area, it
I was said.
Should Colonel Westbrook follow
[ the practice in some other states, the
I applicants will be sent to the nearest
' army recruiting station for a pre-
j liminary physical examination. From
there they will go to the concentra-
tion camps. The forestry service will
requisition a certain number from
time to time to be sent to the work
camps.
Besides the Houston army recruit-
ing office, others in Texas are at
Dallas. Waco. Wichita Falls. Tyler.
Paris. Beaumont. Palestine. Galves-
ton. Port Arthur. Lufkin. San Anto-
nio and Fort Sam Houston .
Another list of projects to be in-
cluded in the reforestation program
will be announced in the next few
days, it was said. While Texas has
no national forests or public lands, it
is believed some plan will be worked
Kr out so that some of the reforestation
*funds will be spent on projects in
Texas.

There w ill lie no reunion for the Unit-
ed Confederate veterans in 1933.
In making this announcement to-
day. Gen. Homer Atkinson, comman-
der-in-chief, said financial conditions
have made it impossible for any
Southern city or state to entertain the
survivors from the gray ranks which
stood as their defenders in the six-
ties.
General Atkinson confirmed re-
ports from Nashville, quoting Chief
of Staff Harry Rene Lee as saying
two cities which had been negotiat-
ing for the reunion had abandoned
hope of entertaining the veterans.
"There is no possibility that I can
see of holding a reunion this year."
General Atkinson said.
"But." he said, "we shall meet in
19.34. I am sure of that. President
Roosevelt's administration will have
things in good shape by that time, and

Two or three committee memben
expressed the belief that the whole
state should have beer until the vot-
ers of some of the sub-divisions de-
cided otherwise. Senator Hopkins said
he agreed with this idea, l ut that he
did not believe it advisable to attempt
such a change.
An amendment to clarify the reso-
lution was adopted. However, com-
mitter members expressed confidence
that the house would concur in this
change.
It was indicated that floci action on
