BROPHY (AP Feature Service Writer) WASHINGTON. (FA) Now will be told what those who do aot favor prohibition want con gress to do about it. The house Judiciary committee has set February 12 as the date to begin hearings on pending measures to do things to the eigh teenth amendment and the Vol stead act. It will be the first full commit tee hearing on the subject since prohibition became ef fective ten years ago. And the action comes In a legislative year when debate has grown livelier than ever be fore on the wet and dry question. While the judiciary committee hearing might result In the for mal launching before the house of measures to amend the - Vol stead act and proposals to repeal the eighteenth amendment, the long, long trail for those who urge a change from prohibition would be just begun. - If the committee should decide to report -out one of the several resolutions to repeal the amend ment, such a proposal would have to be adopted by a two-thirds ma jority of both bouse and senate, then be concurred in by two-tbirds of the states. The states had seven years to ratify the eighteenth amendment such provision having been written Into the act and a sim ilar lengthy period undoubtedly would be provided for in any amendment to repeal. To modify the Volstead mtt vroeJd take congressional action. Oa ef the principal measures in that class is a bill by Rep. L. C. Dye ef St. Louis to legalize, 2.76 per cent beer. Mr. Dyer will head a sub-committee of the judiciary, commit tee, which will consider proposals to modify existing laws. Rep. George S. Graham of Pennsylvania is chairman of the "judiciary committee proper, which will begin with an agenda of seven proposals. These joint, house resolutions will be, considered: By La Guardia of New York a constitutional amendment giv ing congress control of the liquor traffic, the states the right to fix the alcoholic content of beverages. By Cochran of Missouri "The eighteenth amendment to the con stitution of the United States is hereby repealed." By Sabath of Illinois Giving congress power to govern the manufacture, transportation and sale of liquors under government permits and in packages. By Clancy of Michigan "The eighteenth amendment to the con stitution of the United States is hereby repealed." By Igoe of Illinois "That on and after the date of the passage ef this resolution the national prohibition act,- as amended, is hereby repealed'" By Mrs. Mary T. Norton, New Jersey Providing for a national referendum on the question of re pealing the eighteenth amend ment The Sabbath and Norton pro posals are expected to be the ones most vigorously pushed. There will be, at the hearings, an Im posing, concentrated array of forces for prohibition, presaging a battle historic In proportions.

Chicago; Deaths Increase By RODERICK GRANT Associated Press Staff Writer CHICAGO (AP) Fifty weeks ago a committee of executioners emerged from a north Clark street whiskey depot leaving seven dead and dying men lying at the base of a wall pockmarked with ma chine gun bullets. The law began its work. Names were posted of seven teen men 'wanted." Two 4nen were arrested and Indicted. One was slain, the other dismissed for wantof evidence. Investigators determined to ex terminate the roots of the gangs. Dog race tracks, reputed source of much gang wealth, were clos ed. Headquarters of slot machine syndicates were raided, vice re sorts closed, liquor syndicates in Chicago Heights and the Indiana suburbs and Melrose Park prose cuted. The killings went on by threes and twos. February, month of the great est gang murders, was come and gangland, unpunished by the law, goes on punishing its own. In the last five days four men have been shot to death and another, Johnny Genaro, still lingers alive, with five wounds that will probably prove fatal. Bombings, merely an annoyance in 1929 have gradual' ed Into the big business category. A terrific explosion shattered the grocery of Sam Madonla and an adjoining row of stores today, causing damage approximating $160,000 and bringing the aggre gate damage from eleven bombs this year to $216,400. In 1929 the total damage from bombs was es timated at $197,000. The bombings most recently have centered on groceries, an In dication, police said, that organ iied gangs have turned their in timidating .tactics upon Italian grocers. Patrick Roche, chief in vestigator for the state's attorney, acting on this theory, Bent out for Joe Aiello today Aiello, who has often been named among the north side liquor racketeers'. "Numerous complaints have come," said Roche, "that Joe Aiello and his gang have been go ing about among Italian grocers demanding that they buy their supplies from him. When the gro cer protested against the pur chase often times the supplies were left anyway and the grocers were forced to pay for them willy nilly." A multiplicity of motives, as often before, has balked the de tectives hunting down clues to the series of slaylngs. Joseph "the Dude" Cada. shot to death and left In his automo bile at Broadway and Leland ave nue at dawn Sunday, was a grad uate of the beer hauling school. Julius Rosenheim, slain by pis tol shots Saturday morning, held a long record as "squealer" and police tipster. Barney J. Mitchell, treasurer of the Check Taxi company, and the driver of his cab, George Glenn Jackson, was shot last Thursday and police surmise they paid a penalty for dismissal of a gang oT "muscle men" from the employ of the company. Only in the Rosenheim killing have arrests been made. Two de tectives with eyes for gangsters routed Jack McGnrn and Tony Accardo from their taxi Saturday and entered them on the blotter for carrying concealed weapons. They were regarded as suspects in the Rosenheim shooting, but to day while Philadelphia still holds under lock and key Al Ca pone, the reputed lord of Chicago gangs and boss of McGurn him self McGurn and Accardo went free under $1,000 bonds, asking a jury trial. The same charge earned Capone a year in a Phila delphia jail. State's Attorney John A. Swan son's reaction to the killings and bombings today was to summon Police Commissioner Russell and demand that gangsters once more be shipped out of town. After his conference with Com missioner Russell, State's Attor ney Swan son said he "understood" that a witness had positively Iden tified Cada as one of the slayers of Rosenheim. OF SPEED AWARD WASHINGTON (AP) The British lion is the first to stand guard over theL. S. Thompson trophy, symbolic of speed suprem acy in tne air. - Squadron Leader A. H. Orlebar, for establishing a record of 357. 723 miles and hour, receives a smaller model of the trophy, but the emblem Itself goes to the British embassy in Washington, to be kept there until a new rec ord is set. A golden co let inlaid on a ce lestial globe mirrors the speed of man, but the trophy itself marks the tribute of 300 American na val reserve aviators to Lewis S. Thompson, Red Bank, N. J. Most of the donors serve with the so-called Tale unit, organised at the outbreak " the war with Germany, and the list includes such men as F. Trubee Davison, assistant secretary of war for aero nautics, and David S. Ingalls, as sistant secretary of navy for aeronautics. It was Christened with Thomp son's name as a token of appre ciation for his help to aviators 'during the early days of their training at West Palm Beach, Fla., and Huntington.

Newman, federal statis tician. The final figures on the total value of Oregon agricultural prod ucts in 1928 Is $174,927,000 while the estimated value for 1929 is $179,985,000. The 1929 field crops gave a big increase over the 1928 figures, while the total value of fruit crops, truck crops and livestock products was slightly lower than in 1928. Gross value of field crops in 1929 was $71,239,000 as compar ed to an estimate of $78,969,000 in 1929. The fruit crop totalled $25,223,000 in 1928 and is esti mated at $24-,532,000 in 1929. Truck crops are listed at $4,157, 000 in 1928 and are estimated at $3,712,000 in 1929. Livestock products dropped from $74,308, 000 in 1928 to an estimated total of $72,682,000 in 1929. ii R. Breithaupt, extension ec onomist, called attention to some dlscrepencies in figures published in Oregon newspapers where Ore gon farm yield is reported more than 600 million dollars in one paper and an income of 180 mil lion for farm products Is report ed in another. Both of these figures are far too large, he reported, both of them .being impossible because the estimated total value of all farm products, Including products con sumed at home and fed to live stock, is only about $180,000,000. The total cash income will be around fifty to sixty million less. USE MORE RUBBER III MODERN H Although steel and wood still predominate in the construction of modern motor cars, rubber Is gaining Increasing prominence.
