CAPITAL UNAWARE OF PLANSJOR BEER Rumors of Breweries Opening Heard in West Rptrlal to The Pittsburgh Irra WASHINGTON If making real beer to relieve unemployment is the tentative plan of administration leaders, no one in Washington admits knowing anything about it. In a speech delivered in St. Paul a few days ago.

Representative Mel-vin J. Maas, wet Republican, asserted that rumors that the breweries are to be opened "have been deliberately spread by Republican leaders in an effort to determine the public's attitude on the beer question." According to a story in The St. Paul Daily News, the rumors spread in he Middle West were that brew ers had been called into conference with administration leaders in Washington, and had been given to understand that if public sentiment would support the venture real beer could be made under government sanction. The story further said that it had been held that all that was needed to begin legalized manufacture of real beer is a rulmg from the Attorney General that beer is not intoxicating, and therefore does not come under the provisions of the Volstead Act. Attorney General Mitchell, described as a sincere but not a fanatical dry, is expected back in Washington in a few days.

St Th fnitrii Trmt CHICAGO Against a background of open hostility arising from the "shadowing" activities of private detectives, the Funds Investigating Committee Monday resumes Its inquiry into the electioneering expenses of Ruth JIanr.a McCormick, Republican candidate for United States pnafe. A lively controversy between Mrs. McCormick and Senator Gerald Nye. chairman of the committee, when they meet at the hearing was predicted Saturday nipht because of her public defiance of Nye after hiring operatives to trail him.

This phase of the investigation overshadowed the committee's checkup on Mrs. McCormick's primary campaign expenditures, which thus far have been shown to total approximately $260,000. Mrs. McCormick last was before the committee in July when Senator Nye spent four days here listening to evidence concerning the money she spent in winning the Republican nomination. The Inquiry took a new turn several weeks ago when Nye discovered that he and tne committee's rnera tives were being "shadowed." When he came to Chicago with Fcnator Porter H.

Dale, of Vermont, to hold a hearing intended to re-vral who was trailing him and why, Mrs. McCormick publicly n- jiounced she had hired private de-Z tcctives to watch his activities and investigate his past. She defiantly nsked Nye "what he was going to do about it?" Nye accepted the challenge forthwith by interrogating most of the detectives Mrs. McCormick had employed. He learned that Mrs.

McCormick wanted to know whether he was the kind of a man who would have her office files innsacked, and conceal a strange woman in the closet of her apartment, as she alleged happened at a ho-el. The charges Nye met by accusing Mrs. McCormick detectives of a deliberate attempt to "frame" the committee through an effort to influence one of the committee's employes. The reply of her operatives was that one of the committee detectives had resorted to bribery to fain information. The first engagement between Mrs.

McCormick and the five members of the committee was scheduled to be over her investigation of the investigation. The final checkup on her campaign expenditures was last on the calendar. liTT) To) Uf A yearning for his former place a.s star violinist in the Bellevue High School orchestra has led Robert- Schaeffer. 18, back to his alma mater, although he was graduated in June.
