U. S. LEGATIONS ABROAD HEAD FOR DRY ERA British Envoy's Move at Washington Launches Desert Debate. BV L\Lh ( WILSON ? Prr. % staff C orrrp*nd^nt WASHINGTON, June 7.—Amer--I'-.n fmbarie: and legauonr, abroad moved one step nearer the desert of Vo! stead ism today as Washington officialdom pondered Sir Esme Howards renunciation of liquor importing priviles here. Withqut intending to do so. the British ambassador may have started something that will end in t .bstituting lemonade for wines and spirits on the tables of American ambassadors and ministers in foreign lands. The subject had oeen a dead letter since 1923 until recently it. became known tax payers’ money is being expended to provide American diplomats with glassware suitable for serving wines. May Go Volstead Only embassy and legation buildings owned by the government are being furnished with government funds. But as the building program progresses, possibly acocmpanied by Congressional action to give diplomats entertainment allowances —conservative opinion here expects American legation abroad to go Volstead. .So far as could be learned today there are no embassies or legations t>f the United States in which liquor |s not served. It is not against the letter of the law to serve it; but no decision has been made as to possible violation pf the spirit of America’s noble Experiment. An American embassy or legation, In respect to the eighteenth amendment, it was said today, is somewhat. in the position of an American fcarship at sea. Ask Entertainment Funds There is this difference—everything aboard the warship is furnished by the taxpayers’ money w hereas such allowances are not yet provided American diplomats. There is reason to believe, however, that the question of diplomatic entertainment allowances will be brought to President Hoover’s attention by personal friends in the foreign service. Henry L. Stimson, secretary of state, personally has undertaken the task of obtaining from congress funds adequate for proper performance of foreign service duties.

IT quite to be expected tha; Douglas Leavitt and Ruth Lockwood del ' r some sort of a revue w a stage vehicle when they derided to return to RKO vaudeville.

Featured in this presentation are Bernice and Foran. vaudeville headliners in their own right These dancers work to the music of Teddy Eddy's band, which furnishes a musical background and the necessary rhythm for the dancers and singers throughout the revue. Helen Burns, a songstress, and eight Hayden Gloria Girls round out the miniature extravaganza in a plea, ing fashion.
