Queen’s Photograph of Her Family CONGRESS URGED ID REPEAL DRY LAW (Continued from Pace 1) The only action of the day, as dis tinguished from aiieechmaklag, was tba Introduction of a Joint resolntloa In tha senate by Senator Blaine call ing for the “Immediate and absoluta” repeal of tba Klghtsenth amendment. On the hone* aide Representative P. H. La Guardia (ítep., N. T.) had planned to present hla resolution, bold ing the Eighteenth amendment “Inop- era tire," because tha states tailed to ratify It a second time, aa be contends Is required by Its third »action. Winning tbe honor of being tba first to get under way with a prohibition address. Senator Blaine presented hla resolution as quickly as be could gat tbe floor after the senate convened and held It to discuss tha rasolntlon. Ignoring protesta that ba waa out of order. President’s Hoover's plan to put stronger teeth In tbe prohibition statutes Is Just one more attempt to “make people good by law,” Blaine declared, "and already Is doomed to tallare. “In the last nine years three Fra*. Ideots have been ardent advocates of prohibition enforcement,’* he pointed o ut "None of them succeeded in en forcement, although they had ell the governmental machinery under their control end congresses that yielded to every request for more machinery of enforcement Tet they failed." Taking exactly tbe opposite point of view. Senator Sheppard opened and cloeed hla address with tbe declara tion that “nationwide prohibition on its tenth anniversary continues Its triumphant tread.” On moral, relig ious, humanitarian and economic grounds, ba said, prohibition baa Jus tified Itself end proved s blessing even beyond the dreams of Its orig inal proponents Productivity In the United States, home const ruction, parchase of auto mobiles, good wages, and the general prosperity of the country all attest to the benefits of prohibition, tha Texas senator declared, and as proof he marshaled columna of statistics and quotations from business men. And so the battle veered back and forth, first a wet obtaining the floor and then a dry. Representative Clan cy. whose home town Is Detroit, Mich., secured time enough to thor oughly lam bast the Anti-Saloon I «agua, which was bolding Its annual conven tion In Detroit, as “the most bigoted end fanatical organisation In the world today, which Is shamelessly claiming credit for whatever prosper ity there ta In the country." As both houses adjourned after the all-day prohibition bottle there waa no Indication that there will be any letup In the controversy. On the contrary, with tbe law enforcement bills soon to be grinding out of the house committees, there was «very reason to predict that the row will Increase rather than diminish. 2,000,000 China's Fam ine T oll; 2,000,000 Doomed Peiping.
