Scott McBride, leaders of | the organized drys, were abserS {rom Washington, it is known that they and other leaders will be ready at the PToper fime to present the case for both the | prohibition amendment and the en- Torcement laws. f Both drys and wets scanned the names of the 11 commissioners in the Tope of finding the answer 1o the ques- tion of their views on the prohibition subject, but they had only varying suc- cess. The While House announcement made no reference to the subject, and the public careers of the commissioners have identified them with neither side. | Hoover Spent Months on Task. Before finally determining upon the 11 investigators, Mr. Hoover spent months sifting names and considering an avalanche of suggestions. He moved so carefully that only four of those to ¥hom appointment was tendered re- fused to accept and the best guessers were able to hit on not more than five of those finally selected. As disclosed some time ago. Mr. Hoo- ver sought to have Harlan Fiske Stone, associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, serve as chairman. He also offered places on the commission to Charles Evans Hughes, Secretary of State under Harding and Coolidge; Owen J. Roberts, far-famed as prose- cutor of the naval oll reserve lease cases, and Benjamin Cordoza, judge of the New York State Court of “Appeals. | Since Congress has provided no funds, the commissioners must serve without pay, at least at the start, and their expenses will have to be taken care of out of the White House contingent funds until Congress can appropriate the necessary money. This probably will be done at the present special ses- sion on the ground of an emergency situation requiring action. BAKER TO BE OPEN-MINDED Wilson's Secretary of War Has Studied | Crime Many Years. CLEVELAND, May 21 (P).—An open mind will guide Newton D. Baker, Sec- retary of War under President Wilson, in arriving_at his conclusions as & member of President Hoover's commis- sion for the study of law enforcement, he said today. Baker for many years has concerned himself with the study of crime. He was appointed in 1925 to the executive committee of the National Crime Com- mission and is president of the Cleve- | Jand Association for Criminal Justice. | After his appointment was announced he declared he would serve willingly. I “I shall not express my opinion one way or another on the many problems involved in the larger ones” he said. “Toward all of them, including the en- forcement of the national prohibition law, I shall turn with an absolutely | open mind.” { LOESCH TO CONTINUE CRUSADE. CHICAGO, May 21 (®) —Frank J.

Loesch is 76_years old. president of | the Chicago Crime Commission and | special assistant State’s attorney, ap. pointed to investigate the political side | of Chicago's crime situation. National attention was centered upon him a year ago when he preferred charges of “pal- tering with crime” against three judges and brought them to trial before a tri- bunal of their fellow judges. His fight to clean up Chicago once Jed him to make a personal appeal to “Scarface” Al Capone, overlord of the ! underworld, who, until he was sentenced | in Philadelphia recently, appeared to be immune from legal discipline. Capone | at that time promised to help Loesch | by keeping his gangsters from violence in elections, the prosecutor said. MARYLAND GROUP HONORS | STATE’S D. A. R.

Maj. Gen. Harry L. Gilchrist, director | of the service. who was on the board of inquiry at Cleveland, is at Edgewood today, in charge of the War Depart- ment’s investigation. Approximately 2000 inflammable -Ray films now in storage at the Army dispensary in the | Munitions Building are to be shipped by truck to Edgewood Arsenal tomor- Tow for use in the experiments being conducted there. Kept in Fireproof Cabinets. No secret is made of the fact at the War Department that stores of Khr.\e‘ inflammable films are kept on hand in | | fireproof cabinets at Walter Reed Hos- | pital and at the dispensary in the | Munitions Building. Government clerks in the latter building have been work- | ing daily during the past year with ! between 400 and 500 pounds of films in adjoining rooms. | The Surgeon General's Office of the | . through its division of finance | pply, has requested the New York | Medical Supply Depot to prepare cir- | cular advertisements for the 1930 re- quirements of X-ray films. The Army uses approximately $70,000 worth of | these films annually in iis geperal hos- | pital; | Bids are to be asked on the old style of films and the so-called non-inflam- mable kind, and it is expected these | circulars will e issued during the next | | few days. Action on the bids them- | | selves, it is understood, may await the | report on the investigations being con- | ducted at Edgewood. Inflammable Film Cheaper. | Since the inflammable films are | cheaper than the non-inflammable, it was said, the former usually comprise | the bulk’of X-ray films i general use at Army hospitals, under the ruling of |the controller general that the lowest | bid be accepted if the material meets | with the required conditions. This is not an fronclad rule, however, in the case of X-ray films, as some of | | the supplies have been non-inflammable | films. The Army X-ray experts say the new films do not givs all the im- portant detailed information desired, and for this reason the old celluloid | film is regarded as the best for surgical | | use. There is no definite veason beycnd | that, it was explained, why the non- | inflammable film canno’ be used, and | in view of the recent Cleveland disas- | | ter, it was believed at the surgeon gen- | eral's office that the controller would | not require- strict application of the | “lowest bid” rule. | Very little of the inflammable ma- terial is now on hand at Walter Reed Hospital, it is believed, in view of in- structions glven last March by the sur- | geon general's office looking (o the dis- | posal of useless films.
