His brother, "Ked," was hur

in his address Tuesday afternoon '
before the national convention of
the Catholic Central society of
America.
"The theater, tho shows und the
movies appeal to the eye and
charm the young men and the
young women. Many are the
shows that send poisoned shafts to
the depth of the soul of the im
pressionable adolescent. . The age
in which we live is a material and
sensual ace. It de-Christianizes the
spirit, said Father Gregory. "The
beauty which the movies depict so
appculingly is unreal and deceiv
ing; "What remedy may ho pro
posed ? A hstentlun ? That is im
possible. Constant and g r a v e
warnings against the delusive
character of evil shows and tho
steady vigilance of parents and
pastors must be invoked.
"The im modesty of dress of
women is a constant moral danger
to the innocence of the young
man. good woman is naturally
modest. It is an encouraging wgn

said Father Gregory who is pastor
of one of the largest Catholic par

"Young people must have recre

"The automobile, constitutes a
great problem, especially since the
advent of the evil spectre prohi
bition. It is said that gas and
moonshine do not mix. And we
must also say that we have learned
from experience that moonshine
and auto outings by the unmarried
are most dangerous to the very
concept of morality.' The conse

prohibition arc simply, ruinous and
chiefly to the young women of this
country."
Father Gregory also rapped the

"injurious and despotic."

WASHINGTON', July 16. (fl)
Tho selection of a representative
of the wheat growing industry for
the federal farm board may. re
quire from two to three weeks
more study of available appoin
tees by President Hoover.
Organization work was coniplet
ed by the farm board today with
formal ratification of the selection
by President Hoover of James C
Stones, of Lexington, Ky., as vice
chairman.
Alexander II. Ieggc, of Chicago,
representative of business, the
chairman of tho board, had tiie
members together early for anoth
er long session.
The board is meeting in execu
tive sessions and there is no Indi
cation that it will open Its doors
for hearings in the near future.
The president is being delayed
iu the selection of this member I
by a difference of opinion among
the co-operative grain associations,
but is hopeful that he will finally 1
find a man acceptable to nit. J
Meanwhile, with-: several mem-1

feels that the board la capable of
going ahead with Its preliminary
program.

requests for aid from representa

officlo colleague, tho "long and
hard" work before them.
They "hope," as Jegge cautious
ly phrased It, to get something
done. which will be of benefit to
the producers of this year's crops.
Within a few hours after they
were formally organized yesterday
in the White I louse, and before
their second meeting with Presi
dent Hoover at dinner last night,
they were established In temporary
quarters in the .Mayflower hotel.
Today they had at their disposal a
corps of stenographers and, as the
secretary lo the t board, Chris J..
Christensen, chief of th" coopera
tive marketing division of the
agriculture depart ment.
Much of the board's work is to
be directed toward the strength

Another big task which the
members confronted within tho
first 24 hours of the board's exis
tence was tho beginning of a study
to acquaint themselves wit h, the
full extent of their authority under
the farm relief law which gives
them their authority. Described
by President Hoover as "the repre

use 11 , nicy were in vesica oy mm
wun responsibility, authority
and resources such as have never
before been conferred by our gov

breadth of that grant of power a
requirement to study Its extent
and limitations.
WASHINGTON, July 16. iPi
The newly organized federal farm

governors' conference which open
ed here today, read a letter from
fleorge W. YVIrkershnm, head f
President Hoovor's law enforce
ment commission, in which Mr.
Wlckershnm pointed out weak
nesses of the federal enforcement
act, and suggested plans for
strengthening it.
The letter, described by fi
crnor Roosevelt as the first pub
lic expression of the law enforce
ment chief on the subject, points
out that enforcement of the Vol
stead net has rested chiefly on "the
shoulders of the federal govern
ment. It suggests that some feasible
means of dividing the burden of
enforcement between states and
national government be found, ami
that states be given police juris
diction over the "retailing" end
of the "pecuniarily profitable
crime" of liquor law violation and
the' national government retain po
licing power over tho "wholesale"
end of this "huslneHS."
Wlekersham's letter assured.
Governor RooHevelt that prohibi
tion being u "most serious sub
ject," will be one of the chief na
tlonul problems to be investlKated
by the law enforcement commis
sion. . ,
The 18t.1i amendment, the letter
declares, confers upon the stntea
concurrent .lurtsdlctlon wftfe th
national government1-' Tor the fm
forcomont of fhfH rhetistire, hut
"thus far tho federal government
nlone has borne tho brunt of tho
enforcement. That measure is
written Into the connf itution nf tho
United States. It seems to me the
governors' conference might well
consider approaching the feddrul

! iwsal lo share tho burden of

I "If the national government worn
to attend to preventing importa

Interstate commerce of intoxicants,
I the states undertaking Intormil po

rsaloons and no forth, the national
I and state laws might bo modified
! so as to be notne reasonable, en
forceahlo ami one great source of
i demoralizing and pecuniarily proit
: able crime removed."
The letter closes with an linllct
I ment of the American people's nl
I tltude toward crime reduction and
' law enforcement and points to tho
; "evident disrespect for the Vol
stead act" and other statutes as a
consequence.
