Omaha Mayor Hugh Finerty proposes an ordinance to make minors subject to the same penalties as tavern proprietors who serve them. He argues a 14 year old knows right from wrong and has studied Omaha beer taverns to find that owners do not encourage minors but the problem persists despite efforts to keep them out.

Credits to Germany Stir State Dept and Ag Dept Debate
In Washington a simmering difference between the state department and some in the agricultural department emerges over credits to Germany. Germany's cotton purchases shrink from eight percent of the 1933-34 crop to about four percent this year as synthetic fibers loom. Some officials favor credits or reciprocal trade to boost cotton exports, while Hull's State Department resists, citing Germany's history of defaulting on debts to the U.S. and to bondholders. An ensuing discussion touches on reconciling policy with economic needs and potential shifts in how credits might be used.
