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.
