IN ,a,aV4 AN" (Jiy The AnsocialM -presn) WASHINGTON, Dec. -4. The conflict -that has enveloped prohi bition 'enforcement ever since its inception and since has gained new momentum in the last few days, to night was headed toward Its orig inal battleground, the floors of congress. With the opening of congress only a few days away, both wets and drys are forming their lines for attack and defense. Recent de velopments indicate that, while some breaches exist in the ranks' of the prohibitionists, the wets are counting on strong support.. i Dyer Back of Move Among various proposals to be presented to congress outright re peal of the Volstead act will be sought by Representative Dyer, Missouri, ranking Republican of the house judiciary committee and one of the wet leaders, who here tofore has contended merely for modification of the law. The prohibition program which was taken to the white house yes terday was across seas today with1 a direct appeal to Pope Pius XI for moral support in public actlv-1 ity in this country. It was made by the united committee for pro hibition enforcement, including a1 number of Catholic and Protestant reform organizations which deliv ered the complaint yesterday to President Coolidge. i President Is Backed : The criticisms of the adminis trations contained in that com munication brought reverbrations within the committee today. The Methodist board of temperance, prohibition and public morals, ad vised the- president that it was in no way responsible for the com mittee's statement- and that it still was confident that enforcement would eventually reach perfection. Mr.- Coolidge was advised also by Mrs. Ella A. Boole, newly elected president of the Women's Christian Tomnerance union mat ner or ganization stood with the president in his enforcement stana. Breaches in the ranks ot the united committee were opened even more definitely with the resigna tions of several members who dis approved of the committee's com plaint to Mr. Coolidge, including the Rev. Dr. Clarence True Wilson of the Methodist board, Oliver "W. Stewart of Indianapolis, president of the Flying Squadron foundation, and Edwin C: Dinwiddle of the In ternational Order of Good Templars. EUGENE'S POPULATION ESTIMATED AT .20,000 CITY SHOWS 60 PKH CENT IX CKKA.SE SINCE 1920 Flvo Years of Steady Growth Hliown hy Clutmbcr of Com merce, FJifurca; OUior Sources , . A survoy of Kugeno, conducted at the University of Oregon, Indi cates that the city has grown In population at least 60 per cent since tho federal census of 1920. In that year, Kugeno was credited with a population of 10,800, which did not Include the university stu dents or the suburbs, such as Fair mount and College -Crest.'. Al though no census was , taken in 1925, a careful estimate gives the city a population ot 10,500. It the university and the suburbs be In cluded, the total Is 20,000, an In crease of 52 per cent in five years. This estimate la based on the chamber of commerce census of 1924, which found the city to have a population of 16,087, Including the university and the suburbs. Polk's directory on the same basis gave Eugene 19,000 In January of this year. Figures Verify Ball ma to Indirectly, other figures verify th.B estimate of growth, it is staled In the-report. The number of water connections from city mains In 1920 was 2626; today there are 4240 similar ' connections or an expansion of 61 per cent. There have been 1792 new telephone con nections made within this period, bringing the total up to 4242, for an increase of 77 per cent.- - .-' Five years ago, the . . postbf fic delivered mall to approximately 3000 families; now mall is de livered to 5000, and the number of carrier has been Increased from 10 to 15. During the same period the postofrice receipts nave grown 53 per cent, or from $74,000 to $125,000. - The school enrollment gives an other indication of Eugene's ex pansion. For the five-year period the per cent of Increase is 42, there being 3407 school children now for the 2396 In 1920. The high schools shoes the irreatest increase, -having grown from 687 to 1082, or 67 per cent, whllo the grammar Bcnoois have grown from 1708 to 2325, or 36 per cent. - Bank Clearings Increase ... The enlargement of Eugene has been reflected in the. banlt clear ings. It Is shown... In- 192Q the clearings totaled i8,072,8U.13. For. the first 11 months of 1925, they have amounted to- 425, 343, 752.41, with the prospect of reach ing the sum of $27,843,752 for the year. -If this amount is -reached the increase will have been 54 per cent. . :.v . , The growth in population has not kept pace proportionally with tho Increase in buildings, however, the Burvev shows.

"Both the high school and the. university are means by which the state is -getting - ready to solve its future problems. - Today, more than ever before,-there is a ten dency - toward --, mass-mindedness. We feel we are just one cog In a great machine and in many cases our occupations tend to dwarf us."

Howard, superintendent ot Marshfleld high schools, and. one of the principal speakers on the program, "in that students - leatn the extreme im portance of -physical fitness, a sense of fair play in association with other people, and a recognition of the opportunities to serve their home community.
