Beer Sales to Minors Probed by Topeka Officials
Topeka authorities report beer was sold to minors amid an investigation ordered by Judge Roy N. McCue of the juvenile court. Two girls ages 13 and 15 testified they frequently entered beer parlors to drink beer. McCue said operators who sold to children would face charges of contributing to delinquency. Kansas law lacks a definition of intoxicating beverages, complicating the prohibition.

WPA Officials Push to Oust Needy from Relief Rolls
WPA officials press the drive to cut work relief by requiring the needy to accept farm or private jobs. Hopkins expects spring plantings to absorb many of the 220,000 dropped from WPA, with 400,000 more finding work on PWA highway and relief projects. Officials note that last year relief was taken from those who refused farm work, a policy continued this year. WPA employment fell from 3,034,729 on March 7 to 2,633,844 on April 18, with unclear share due to farm work. The Resettlement Administration is rebuilding about 550,000 farm families and providing jobs for 70,000 more, mostly non-farmers.
