TCHTERDRYLAW FGHTISRESUNED House Subcommittee Op- poses Heavier Alcoholic Content. Enactment by the next Congress of legislation imposing heavier penalties for violators of the prohibition law and opposing any increase above one- Ralf of one per cent in the alcoholic content of beverages is urged in a re- port made public last night by a sub- committee of the House committee on alcoholic liquor traffic. The subcommittee expressed the opinion that “to increase the alcoholic content, but not to a point where it would become intoxicating in fact, would not satisfy those who demand aleoholle stimulants and would grea; ly increase the difficulties of law en- forcement.” Amendment of existing law to fix a minimum fine and mandatory prison sentence for first offenses for manu- | facture and sale of alcoholic liquor, and increasing fine for transportation and possession of liquors, was recom- mended. The subcommittee, which was head- ed by Representative Hudson, Repub- lican, Michigan, also proposed estab- lishment of a prohibition agency sep- arate from any other bureau, that prohibition agents be selected under civil service, that the Government buy all bonded liquors In Government warehouses, and that appropriations for prohibition enforcement be suf- ficlent to place an adequate number of agents in areas where enforcement is difficult. Sees Dificulties Magnified. The problem of enforcement, report sald, Is not as great as many sources antagonistic to prohibition would infer. The difficulties have been magnified, while the benefits have been taken for granted, it stated, adding that “there is no evidence to justify any hope that the eighteenth amendment will be repealed.” Enumerating results of prohibition, which the report said were “secured with inadequate organization and law enforcement machinery,” it listed re- ductions in violent crimes, a decrease in the number of paupers, an increase in thrift, improvement of the realty market, a lower death rate, improve- ment of the general health of the Na- tion and a decrease in insanity. “The total number of arrests in most cities shows a considerable in- crease over preceding years,” it said, “but violation of automobile or traffic laws, sanitary regulations, school laws and other minor ordinances make up the larger proportion of these arrests.” the URGES CURB ON RADIO. De Forest Regrets Use for Adver- tising Schemes. NEW YORK, March 11.—Govern- ment censorship of radio to curb the activities of those who seek to com- mercialize it through advertising was urged by Dr. Lee De Forest in an address at the Harvard Club last night Dr. De Forest condemned as “trash” many of the “advertising” programs sent out by radio stations. “Radlo is not a legitimate medium for advertising,” he declared. Radic advertising rates, he said, ran as high as $12.50 a minute at one New York station, while a up of several stations cost $1, hour. - — DRY BILL WINS. Measure Passes New York House After Bitter Debate. ALBANY, March 11.—The Jenks bill, which seeks to re-enact a State prohibition enforcement measure in New York, won its first battle in the Legislature yesterday when the as- sembly, after long and bitter debate, passed it by a vote of 83 to 61. Eleven Republicans aligned themselves with all the Democrats present in voting against the measure. The bill now goes to the Senate. Gov. Smith, it is generally believed, will veto the bill_If it passes in the Senate unless sufficient appropri- ations to enforce it are also passed. PROHKIBITION BLAMED FOR HASTY WEDDINGS New York Legislator Sees Dry Law and Vice Crusade Causing Ill- Advised Marriages. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 11.—Prohibition and vice crusades were blamed yes- terday by State Senator Benjamin Antin for the many under-age and hasty marriages which a Bronx grand jury is Investigating. The Senator and Mary E. Richmond, director of the Russell Sage Founda- tion, were principal witnesses be- fore the jury, which is seeking suf- ficient evidence to make a present- ment to Supreme Court Justice Tier- ney, suggesting remedies. Four girl brides were among others of the 34 witnesses summoned by District Attorney McGeehan, who tes- tifled yesterday. “Prohibition has ing of moral stan people,” Mr. Antin the jury room caused. a loosen- rds among young said after he left “The success of vice crusades has forced many men of low types into civil marriage con- tracts which they did not intend to continue.” Senator Antin is author of two bills now pending before the State Legis- lature. One would prevent minors from marrying without the permis- |sion of a court of record. The sec- ond would compel a five-day lapse between the application for and the issuance of a marriage license. Miss Richmond said that she had placed before the grand jury some of the evidence gathered by the Rus- sell Sage Foundation in New York State. ot a red pencil, dad | “I think I have a red pencil, my boy.

Secretary Davis has called a con- ference of immigration officials to dis- the formulation of a general policy based upon late legislation, particularly with a view to closing the gaps in the Mexican and Canadlan border patrols. The meeting will be held here during the Summer. Announcing the plan today, the Secretary said, while the border patrols and the general immigra- tion service are now at a higher point of efficiency than they have ever been before, further efforts to improve upon them will be made. Smuggling. at the Canadian and Mexican borders, he said, has been materially reduced, but it is to stop the comparatively f2w leaks that now exist that he seeks the advice of those more intimately in touch with the situation. cuss WOULD FREE FUNERALS.
