WABIIINOTON, Jan. 10. (UP)
Tha Wlrkereham commUslon
made a formal report today
aaalnit repeal 6t tha Ittb
amendment but a majority of
the jnembors Individually favor
ed either abolition of tha amend
ment or revision looking to con
trolled aale of liquor In atatee
delrlm to permit It.
Kour member endorsed a plan
put forward by Henry W. Ander
son or Virginia, a dry republi
can, for adoption nf a modified
form of the Hvedlib sale plsn to
be utilised under strict supervi
sion In states wishing to adopt
It. Two other members favored
It rondliloually In event the pres
ent regime, after further trial,
proved unsuccessful.
HKii:i nv in or it
The commission held thera Is
not yet any adequate observance
or enforcement but that condi
tion are Improving.
Tha commission's formal re
port, signed by 10 nf the II
members but subject to numer
ous dissenting reservations, rec
ommended In pert:
1. Atslnst authorising light
wine aud beer by modification
of lite Volstead a-1.
t. Against restoration nf the
saloon.
S. Against fedoral or atate
governments, as such, going Into
the Itqunr business.

4. Kor placing a definite al
coholic limit on ciders and fruit
Juices msde In the home, now
unrestricted eicept that they
must be non-lnioslrstlng In fact.
e. Attain. t allowing more lat
itude In federal search and aels
ures. U. In event the 1Mb amend
ment Is to be revl.ed. Hint It
should rend substantially a fol
lows: "The congress shall have
power to regulate or le prohibit
Hie manufacture, traffic In or
transportation of Intoxicating
lliiuora within, the Importation
thereof Into and the exportation
Ibereof from the I'nlted States
and all territory subject to tho
Jurisdiction thereof for beverage
purposes."
llltllADKNH I'OM'KIl
This would permit congress to
"regulate or prohibit." aa It
chose. 11 would also omit the
provision of the present amend
ment for concurrent Jurisdiction
of the states, tho commission
holding that thla had been Inef
fective, that It rould not be
forced and that If It came It
must be voluntarily. Ily using
the phase, "traffic In on trans
portation of" Intoxicating li
quors, the proposed revision
would broaden the powers of
congress to Include purchase
which la now omftted under the
lath amendment and would al
low congresa latitude In determ
ining how far It should go In
applying the principle of prohi
bition. The object la to do
away with tha rigidity of the
proent amendment.
Indications that tha commis
sion nilsht have, at one stage In
Its deliberations, definitely fa
vored revision of the amendment

guage of several Individual atate- I

President Hoover transmitted '
thn report and tha Individual
recommendations to congress to

2 n pages, some go.OOfl words
about hslt of which waa devoted
to the Individual opinions. The j
commission's report, as disclosed
by the eoparalo atatemenla. waa
dissented from by so many com-,
mmsionera that Its force as a rec-
ontendatlon to congreas la ex-1
perted to bo weakened. Indl-'
ml Inns are that the protracted ;
tlebato will' result and that both
sides In any fight to rcwrlto the
lsth amendment will find sup
port In tho commission's docu
ment. Mont M. l.eninnn of Louisiana
refused to slcn the gcnernl re
port because he believed the en-1
tire prohibition experiment was1
without the support of public
opinion and that there was no

Though torn by dltferencoa
which could not be completely
roconcllcd even aftor nearly two
yoars of consideration, the com
mission agreed that whatever the
ultimata solution may be, some
formal federal control which
would prevent revival of the
legalised saloon la Imperative
"In our Judgment," tha com
mission report aald, "It la Impos
sible to recede wholly from the
lath amendment In view of I lie
ecouomte unification of tha coun
try, the development of trana
portallon, tha Industrial condi
tions of tha time, and the gener
al use nf machinery In every Hue
of activity,"
KIM) DIMItEOARD
The commission found gener
al disregard In many aectlona for
prohibition, professed skepticism
aa to many beneflta claimed on
Ita behalf, and voiced concern
over public Indifference while at
tha aama time finding difficulty
In auggrsllng remedies which It
felt would be conclusive unless
supported by greater enthusiasm
on the part of the public.
"It la evident." the commis
sion aald, "that taking the coun
try as a whole, people of wealth,
businessmen and professional
men, and their families, and per
hapa tha higher paid working
men and their families, are
drinking to large numbers In
quite frank disregard of the de
clared policy of the national pro
hibition act."
I'HoroNKM PLAX
The liquor control plan pro
posed by Anderson, a promluent
dry republican, assumed Impor
tance because he won three of
his colleaguee over to It and two
other approved tt conditionally
although they desired a further
trial of the preeent prohibition
structure. Those approving It
besides Anderson were Loesch.
Chicago vice prosecutor. Dean
Pound of the Harvard law school
and Kenneth Mackintosh, former
chief Justice of the Washington
stale supreme court. Federal
Judsr William K. Kenyon uf
Iowa and Paul J. McCormlck of
California, both drys, approved
It conditionally.
Concluding that prohibition
cannot be enforced. Anderson In
his separate oplniou proposed
adoption by the I'nlted mate of
a system of liquor sale under
Kovernment control alijillar to
that now effective In Sweden.

We Are Partners
With You in Community
Welfare
The service of gas to the City of Klamath Falls which
begins Thursday, Jan. 22, marks a turning point in the
already rapid development of this section of Oregon
With GAS, another of the modern conveniences has been put at tha
disposal of the people of Klnmath Falls, and gives to them a cheap,
efficient, clean "and intensely hot fuel on the same basis that people
in metropolitan centers have been able to have GAS in the past.
GAS is strangely economical when you use a great deal of it. The
more GAS consumer uses, the cheaper becomes the cost per cubic foot
used. Therefore, if you use gas for cooking only, it is economical, but
it becomes cheaper still if you will use it for heating water and it
becomes still cheaper if you use it for househeating as well.
UNLIKE OTHER FUELS, the CONSUMER PAYS FOR ONLY WHAT
HE USES. When you turn the jet on your gas appliance, your costs
cease.
NATURAL GAS CORPORATION OF OREGON has come to Klamath
Falls to be a part of the community to grow and develop with you.
Your problems have bttome our problems we are partners in com
munity welfare.
Natural Gas Corporation of Oregon is YOUR GAS COMPANY. Its
purpose is to render you a vital service to your daily and community
life the furnishing of a more economical and satisfactory means of
heat than has heretofore teen known.
We urge you to bring your fuel problems, no matter how small they
may be, to the office of the company, which has been established in
Klamath Falls.

on you.
You are invited to visit our showrooms, where modern and approved.

Price charged for liquor

protection against shipment of

Anderson aald. Each stale would
have to enforce) Ita own law. In
such aveut, llquora shipped
through such a state would be
under bond.
IIIT1I UOOTLKUC.ING
Anderson declared hla plan
would strike at the heart of thai
bootlegging business by remov
ing the opportunity for profit.
Revision of the amendment
would be a nereMKary prelimi
nary prior to Anderson's plan.
Apparently referring to the
Anderson plan. Chairman Wick
ersham aald In hi separata re
port he bad "great doubts" tt
any mollification of the Swedish
plan would work In America.
"I think the pressure to obtain
books authorising purchase of
liquor would be so Irreelstlblo
that all beneflta of the system
would be lost: or else, the In
trigues of orgsnlzed liquor Inter
ests would exert su-h Influence
In congress that the distinctive
characteristics of the system
would be destroyed and an abun
dance of liquor soon flow for all
who wished It."
IlKNOI'NCK H.H.OON
Denouncing the aaloon, Wick
ersham added:
It la because I see no escape
from lta return In any of too
praetl-al alternatives to prohibi
tion that I nnlte with my col
leagues In sgreemcnt thai me
lath amendment must not be re
pealed, aud, differing with some
of them, I havo been forced to
conclude that a further trial
should be madoof the cnforcabll
Ity of the lath amendment under
the present organisation, with
the help of the recommended Im
provements." The commission was critical
of that provision of the Volstead
act which permtta "non-intoxicating
fruit Julcea" In the
homea, declaring it to be an "in
vitation to hypocrisy and evaa
lon." This provision under
which the California grape grow,
era have engaged In a wide
spread rampalKti to market
grape Julro which will turn to
wine If exposed to air, was de-
striucd as an anomalou provl

escape the difficulties ot forcing

the commission aald.
Tha commission held that cor

The commission found many
other points contributing to en
forcement difficulties, including
resentment of military forces
who were abecnt from the coun
try when the amendment waa
adopted.
Failure to appreciate the mag
nitude of the enforcement task.
Lack of federal experience In
use of poltca power.
The attempt to enforca prohi
bition "aa something on another

"High-banded methods, shoot

Abandonment of educational

"We expect legislation to eon

As to the benefits of federal
prohibition, tha commission held
mere bad been Induatrla! bene
flta such as Increased production
and efficiency and elimination of
blue Mondays, Indicating "a real
and significant gain." The com
mission found nothing clearly
estaniisned to snow tbe connec
tion between prohibition and a
decrease ln Industrial accidents.
an Increase ln savlnga deposits
and a decrease in demanda upon
ciiarltlea and social agencies.
"Looked at over the decade of

Industries.'
IIItfNKINO F,TTE.SIVE
Flagrunt disregard of tbe pro-
hloltlon law In homes, clubs, ho

by persona in all walka ot life
was described. Drinking by
women and by youths waa aaid
extensive. Changing standards
or individual conduct were held
partly responsible for Increased
drinking.
Discussing alternative to the
present system, the commission
held that unconditional repeal
of the amendment would lead to
condltlona "quite a bad aa those
we are seeking to escape."
AliAlNST REPEAL
Repeal ot the Volstead act, tt
was held, "would amount to nul
