VOLSTEAD ACT 15
! FOUND BENEFICIAL
Sincere Attempt at Enforce
i ment Asked by Speaker
At Church Meet
That the Volstead act has been
a decided benefit to the country
despite its limitations was the ex
pression of four of the city's lead
ers in a symposium on prohibi
tion held Sunday night at the
First Methodist church In obser
vance of the tenth anniversa.-y of
prohibition.
O. W. Emmons, attorney, was
of the opinion that the evil
wrought by intoxicating liquors
would be stamped out much soon
er if the officiate elected to en
force the law would really make
an attempt to do so. Rev. F. C.
laylor, pastor of the church,
granted that the law had not
topped drinking; In fact, he ev
en quoted statistics to show that
there is more drinking. But he
taid national prohibition had
made easier the problems of the
church.
B. E. Sisson, manager of Mill
er's store who spoke on the sub
ject from the mercantile stand
point, said that greater ease of
living or at least more of the ne
cessities of life had come to the
wife and children through the at
tempt at prohibition. Effects of
alcohol on the human system were
told by Edmund 8. Fortner, local
physician.

White cold, intense enough to

disappeared, however, and had no
effect whatsoever upon shipping.

Message on Enforcement is ;
Delivered to Congress
By President j
Report of Special Investi
gating Commission Also
Is Made Public
WASHINGTON"; Jan. 13.
(AP) President Hoover called
upon congress today to recon
struct the prohibition enforcement
machinery as a means of coping
with difficulties encountered by
the eighteenth amendment, which
was pot into effect just ten years
ago this month.
He sent to the senate and house
the first conclusions returned by
his law enforcement commission
on this controversial subject, and
backed these op with similar re
ports from Attorney General Mit
chell and Secretary Mellon, the
two cabinet officers most directly
concerned , with enforcement.
Stipulation that its preliminary
recommendations were made
"without prejudice to any ultimate1
conclusions," the commission cre
ated greater speculation than ever
before as to its precise attitude
toward the Volstead act.
Opposing Opinions
Immediately Expressed
Hardly had the documents been
read before wet and dry leaders
on capitol hUl began to express
conflicting views. The outlook to
night was tor a prolonged contin
uance of the dispute over prohi
bition, whlc: has racked congress
since the dry laws first were pro
posed and which again reached
the acute state in recent weeks.
Calling for the passage of a
score or more of additional legis
lative enactments, the reports are
expected to serve as basis for
stormy debates in the halls of
congress and for long hearings
and consideration by committees
of the two houses.
Most drastic of the changes
proposed were:
Transfer of the prohibition en
forcement unit from the treas
ury to the Justice department.
Creation of a unified border pa
trol as a part of the coast guard.
Influx of People
Over Boundaries Opposed
Prohibition against the entry or
all persons into the United States
except at points of entry designat-
ated by the president.
Enlargement of the povers or
United States commissioners so
they might try "casual and slight
offenders" against the prohibition

Advantage
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.
(AP) Determined efforts by the
dry and wet groups to use the
law enforcement commission's re
port as a wedge for amending the
law to their respective likings
were Indicated tonight in congres
sional reactions to the recommen
dations for legislation transmit
ted by President Hoover.
Promises and demands mingled
while the enforcement of the dry
laws dominated attention of the
senators and representatives.
House leaders pledged immediate
action toward carrying out the
proposals ' and new statutes and
by the nightfall several measures
were in preparation. Assurance
of early consideration also came
from the tariff -busy senate.
Wets Reeking More
Than Mere Facts
a Drys and wets generally ae-
which avoided any judgment
upon the merits of the prohibi
tion laws. The wets made it clear,
however, that, they wanted the
commission to go farther and sub
mit a report on the Volstead act
Itself.
Senator Wagner, democrat.
New York, put forward the wets'
demand In the senate. He offered
a resolution immediately after
the reading of the commission's
report, seeking to ask President
Hoover to direct the commission
to inquire into the "suitability of
existing prohibition laws for the
promotion of temperance.".
Representative Andrew, repub
lican, Massachusetts, followed
through with the introduction in
the house of a bill authorizing
$1,000,000 for the law enforce
ment commission to Investigate
and report to congress what
changes it deemed necessary in
the system of dealing with intox
icating liquors. Both the -Wagner
and Andrew propositions were
laid aside without debate, how
ever, and the prospects for their
consideration seemed doubtful.
House Backs Hoover
Leader Declares
Representative Tilson, of Con
necticut, the republican leader In
the house, issued a statement as
serting he believed- "it is the over
whelming desire of the house to
support President Hoover in his
proposals."
The commission's report was
transmitted to half a dozen dif
ferent committees in the house
by Speaker Longworth. In the
senate Vice President Curtis dis
patched it to the Judiciary com
mittee alone.
Representative Williamson, re
publican. South Dakota, the
chairman of the house expendi
tures committee, announced later
he was prepared to introduce to
morrow a bill transferring dry en
forcement from the Jurisdiction
of the treasury department to the
justice department. His lull
would leave control of narcotics
and industrial alcohol in the

president.

Thousands Daily
Die From Famine
Stricken Section of China Found to Present
Most Hopeless Situation in Modern His
tory; Two Million Doomed
By JAMES P. HOWE
Associated Press Correspondent
PEIPING, China, Jan. 13. (AP) The China interna
tional famine relief is confronting the most hopeless situa
tion it has ever faced in famine-ridden China in the northern
province of Shensi, where thousands of persons are dyinsr
aauy irom iamine ana ex-
posure.
Grover Clark, a former
Peiping newspaper editor, return
ing from a six weeks' inspection
trip in the Wei river district, said
today that 2,000,000 persons were
doomed to die within a few
months. He asserted that after in
vestigating whether the famine re
lief could be of aid, he had ab
solutely no hope of saving them.
He estimated that 2,000.000
persons out 6,000,000 in the area,
which extends on both sides of
the Wei river, died during the
past eight months. Thousands
were froren to death during the
recent cold wave, when with the
thermometer at 32 below Shensi
province suffered the coldest
weather recorded in its history.
The people, accustomed to a min
imum temperature of 15 above for
more than 40 years, were caught
unprepared.
Clark reported "the most dis
heartening scenes I have ever wit
nessed in all my years ia the Ori
ent and in all my travels in the
interior.
"Thousands begged for a piece
of bread, for coppers, for any
thing I could give them," he said.
"I consulted the various local
authorities, but no remedy was
suggested, because of. transporta
tion difficulties and dangers from
bandits, the bandits being the
stronger peasants who have taken
to robbery for food. .
"Even If the China famine re
lief had plenty of grain to pour
into the area we could not reach
it for months. The local authori
ties are helpless and in many in
stances are themselves on the
verge of starvation."
The famine sufferers, who were
gradually weakening though fight
ing hard for existence, were eat
ing saw dust, tree bark and leath
er. Clark said most of them had
scacely mental strength enough
left to realize the terrors of their
fate.
