BORAH DENOUNCES G 0.P.INNEW YORK Declares Party Leaders Are Afraid of Al Smith’s Shadow ; at All Times. Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, who has taken a leading role in de: fending prohibition enforcement re- cently, issued a statement last night | in which he took Republican leaders ~f New York State to task for their on the liquor question. are in a constant state of fright,” he asserted. “If Al Smith would retire from politics and invent some way of convincing them that he would retire, we would likely have a wholly different program. Svery. move made ‘s made in a state of fright from Al Smith's shadow. They dare not get into the sunlight lest they see his shadow; 1hey dare not even walk in the moon- light lest they be pursued by his shadow. Hence they keep in the dusk of every question. “They were afraid to declare for a repeal of the eighteenth amendment as it would lose them the dry vote. They were afraid to declare for its en- forcement lest it would lose them the | wet vote, so they started out to do two | things; first, to have a referendum that could be construed' in 'a dozen different ways on the stump and for a candidate for governor who had no views on the prohibition question, never had had -and never could have. “The Republican Party. was or- ganized to stand for the Federal Con- | stitution against this plea of discre- tion as to its enforcement in the dif- ferent States.” % SOCIETY __(Continued from Ington on Sunday, and all are stopping at the Mayflower.

Van Winkle Takes Up With Chief the Question of Allowance, With Nothing Definitely Decided. Subdued Gray Color Suggested. Although Lieut. Mina C.° Winkle, head of the Woman's Bureau of the Police Department, has taken up with Maj. Hesse the question of an allowance for uniforms for police- women, she does not ‘plan to garb her staff in a conspicuous outfit, or to have them in uniform at- all times. Nothing_definite has been settled, Mrs. Van Winkle sald today, and prob- ably will not he until Maj. Hesse makes a recommendation to the Com- missioners. If the proposal is adopted the uni- form. would vonsist of a dress of dark gray ‘or some other subdued color, tailored 'along plain lines. The uni- form Mrs. Van Winkle has in mind would not be as. noticeable as the brass-button blue suits of the police- men. “The plan T have been discussing with Maj. Hesse does not mean that my women would wear uniform cloth- ing at all times or on all classes of work,” said Mrs. Van Winkle. ““There Van | are some occasions and places where THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTOX, D. C. WEDNESDAY, JU UNIFORMS FOR POLICEWOMEN . TO AWAIT O. K. OF MAJ. HESSE | it would be an advantage to have them wear a plain uniform and there are other phases of investigating work where a uniform would be a drawback.” Mrs. Van Winkle is satisfled that the law passed by Congresa a few months ago entitling each policeman to uniforms and equipment to the ex- tent of $75 annually would apply to members of the Woman's Bureau it it is decided to provide them with a uniform outfit for certain occasions. The law, Mrs. Van Winkle sald, does not distinguish between policemen and policewomen. There is a certaln amount of pre- ventive work policewomen could do if they were stationed in regular places with a mode of dress by which they would be recognized as members of the bureau, Mrs. Van Winkle ex- pldined, but she cannot arrangp such details untll she has an adequate staff. - LOS ANGELES’ SUMMER SCHEDULE APPROVED Big Dirigible Will Carry on Radio Compass Calibration Work Along Coast.

IN BEACH DISPUTE Court Stops Work and Spry in Ef- fort to Take Away Water Front of Florida Town. Justice Hoehling of the District Supreme Court yesterday granted a permanent injunction against Hubert Work, Secretary of 'the Interior, and William Spry, commissioner of = the General Land Office, to prevent the Government from taking away the water front of the Beachland Devel- opment Co., owner of Vero Beach, Fla. The officials noted an appeal to the District Court of Appeals. The court held that as no fraud was alleged, the Government could not go back 66 years and attack a survey then made. The company, through Attorney F. W. Clements, had charged that the Government was hit by the Florida craze for beachland, and was attempting to assert title to the com- pany’s water front, on the claim that surveys made in 1859 were not as accurate as the present system of survey, which follows more exactly the sinuosities of rivers. The com- pany said its title was established in 1883, and had never been questioned. Gen. A; W. Yates Ordered Here. Brig. Gen. Arthur W.
