Wang Indicates. v the Associated Press SHANGHAI, China, December 1.—C. T. Wang, foreign minister, announced to- day that the appointment of Dr. C. C. Wu, one time Nationalist foreign mi ster, as Chinese Minister to Washing- ton was under consideration, but no official action had been taken yet.

A government spokesman said that recent events made it necessary for China to send a strong man to Lon- don, a post which is now fitled by a charge d'affaires. Since Mr. Sze is con- sidered one of the best men in the Chi- nese diplomatic service and had pre- viously filled the London post, his name has been mentioned in that connection. The spokesman added that in case this transfer was made Dr. Wu was con- | sidered as available for the Washmg- nce he' had been in America iderable time as a spceial en- voy from China and was also an influ- 2ntial member of the Kuomintang. DURANT DRY LAW 20,000 Plans to Make Prohi- bition Effective Are Re- ceived by Judges. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, December 1.—Every- thing from tersely worded telegrams to carefully prepared documents, ac- companied by charts and phs, is included, among _the 20,000 entries sub- ‘mitted for the $25,000 prize offered by .. C. Durant, motor manufactyrer, for the “best and most practicable plan to make the eighteenth amendment effective.” ‘The contest, which was opened by Durant's offer last August, closed today.

W. O. Heffernan, assistant to Durant, who has been in charge of receiving the entries said tday that anti-liquor edu- cation and more drastic means of en- forcement ~were the predominating theme of the plans offered. “The freak plans, some of which were submitted in a spirit of levity‘and others which are sincere, were the first to be received,” Mr. Heflernan said. “The serious suggestions, many of them showing a great amount of thought and study, have made up the bulk of the later entries.” - Entries have been received alike from persons who favor prohibition and those opposed to it, he said. Although the contest was restricted to citizens of the United States, plans have been sent in from all parts of the world in a dozen foreign languages.

An effort is expected to be made during the session of Congress begin- ning Monday to have the Senate pass the proposed new code of insurance laws for the District, which was passed by the House at the last session. Senator Blaine, Republican, of Wisconsin, who has just returned to the eity, is chair- man of the subcommittee inquiring into the code for the Senate District com- mittee. Senator Blaine held extensive hearings toward the close of the last session and probably will resume con- sideration of the measure early in the cession. The provisions dealing with life in- surance were ironed out at the last session, and the differences existing over the legislation relate to the regulation of fire insurance and the question of permitting the mutuals to a gdemy and surety business. The question of revis- ing the insurance laws of the District has been under discussion in the com- mittees of Congress for a number of years. The pending code would give the superintendent of insurance supervision over fire insurance rates and would enable him to pass upon the reason- ableness of -the rates. According to Supt. of ‘Insurance Baldwin, seme of the fire insurance rates probably would be reduced under this code. Noted Couple Engaged.
