- WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.
.AP)-fThe dispute 'whether an
ameriean censorship has been es
tablished on radio stations in the
N'lcaraguan neutral zone was
settled today when the state de
. partment announced that one had
been In effect 'but hid been lifted-
xThe department said it had just
. been ' Informed by Rear' Admiral
Latimer, la command of Ameri
can forces" in Nicaragua, that - a
censorship -had been ; established
at Puerto Cabezas and Rio Grande
bar 'to maintain the neutrality of
tHe soue by preventing the send
ing but "of military instructions or
inforroation-by either side" in the
factional strife in that country. 1
"The 1 admiral " reported furth
er', said the departmental An
nouncement !'that all censorship
on .radio stations in the neutral
zone Jhad been removed by his di
rection.". : Until' the announcement was
made, state department officials
had insisted they were without in
formation of any 1 censorship, as
charged by Dr. T. S. Vaca, rep
resentative here of the Sacasa lib
eral taction in Nicaragua.
Vaca called at the state depart
ment, today, but was told by offi
cials that Secretary Kellogg could
not receive him inasmuch as he
was not the representative of a
government ' recognized by the
United States. '
He said he called because he
had heard the department had not
received the ' censorship protest,
which he delivered .yesterday to
a messenger , In . Secretary Kel
logg's office; ' He learned, how
ever, that his protest had reached
the secretary. ":.,'," ' - -
Vara has been Insisting for sev

radio messages through to his su
perior at 'Puerto1 Cabezas. and

In addition to informing the
state department ' regarding cen
sorship Admiral "Latimer advised
the secretary of the navy- - that

WOSHINGTON, Dec. 35. (AP)
Prodded fcy Secretary Mellon,
government chemists turned again
to their test tubes today la an ef
fort to' find some denaturant for
Industrial alcohol which is not
poison.
. Realizing that such alcohol is
seeping into. bootleg channels, Mr.
Mellon is not willing to poison
drinkers to enforce the prohibition
law; He -wants the alcohol de
natured so' that it will be too dis
tasteful to drink 4ut at the same

wood alcohol ;whieh. they; declare
Is the least injurious denaturing
ingredient.' . .- .'.,"-''v"v
I Mr. Mellon iwlieve also that a
quantity of two or Jour per cent
of wood alcohol will not prove
very injurious. He is not alarmed
over the new formula which goes
into effect January 1, containing
four per cent' of wood alcohol in
stead of the! custdmary two per
cent because this formula will not
contain the py rod ice used here
tofore. '
; ' Complete enforcement .of the
prohibition law is an unreasonable
expectation, the treasury head de
clared today, and some people are
going to continue to drink what
ever they can get. He wants the
substitutes and industrial- alcohol
so treated so drinkers will be
warned .by the taste and smell tbat
it is not good.
Mr. Mellon does not believe that
that numerous holiday alcoholic
deaths resulted from denatured
alcohol but rather probably too
much drinking was responsible.
Even before prohibition, he re
tailed, there were deaths from the
use of poisoned alcohol which was
resorted , to by some dishonest
dealers. nd drinkers.
James M. iDoran, chief of tbe
prohibition chemists, went today
to Philadelphia and New York,
but officials would not Bay that he
was Investigating the numerous
deaths from alcohol in these cities
recently.
As to Industrial alcohol, Secre
tary Mellon is of the opinion that
its leakage into bootleg channels
has proved one of the main prob
lems of enforcement, as a result
of the shutting off of the sources
of supplies from rum row
and
domestic distilleries. A special
sa'uad has .been ordered by Assis
tant Secretary Andrews, dry chief.
to block the source of supply.

ference at its general session to
night voted" to table a resolution
condemning compulsory military
training in colleges and which
would also put the conference on
record as opposing "the imperial
istic policy of the United States
government.'.'
The conf erence. however, went
on record as Explaining that its
action was not the result of any
sentiment against the move but
because it was the policy of the
conference not to adopt any reso
lutions. The 3.00G delegates devoted the
entire day to the subject of mili
tarism and the best manner in
which they as Christians could
further the outlawry of war and
the cause of universal peace.
