38 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, ' D. - C.,” DECEMBER 15, 1929—PART ONE. - REFORM GROUP SUPPORTS HOOVER Adopts Resolution Commend- ing President for Dry Law Enforcement Plans. ® ! Unemimously supporting President | Hoover's cfloris to enforce ihe eight- | eenth amendment, the International Reform Federation at its annual | ing commended the President for “his | positive declaration that Washington must be made a model of law enforce- ment for the cities of the Nation.” The adoption of the resolution on prohibition enforcement, along with the annual election of officers, was the most importanet matter before the confer- ence. The action of the Federation, urging lisgwise the appointment of “un- questionably dry” United States dis- trict attomeys and judges and the making of the prohibition amendment effective, especially in the city of Wash- ington, was taken on motion of Thomas D. Taylor of Philadelphia. He was a member of the_ resolutions commiittee, of which Dr. William Sheafe Chase, superintendent of the federation, was chairman. Ask Notice to Offic> Holders. ‘The resolution asked th> President to serve notice on office hélders to observe the dry law, and “to urg: the citizens of all States to re-enact or maintain State enforcement laws, thus giving the most effective support to the Constitution of the United States, and setting the high- est possible example in law enforce- ment.” Discussions at the conference in the Methodist Building upon proposed re- forms centered on the proposal of Sen- ator Sheppard of Texas to punish_the buyer of intoxicating liquors. There were six other topics scheduled on the program, but the debate on the Shep- pard bill developed so spiritedly that the entire.time was taken up with the dis- cussion of that single topic. Confliction of Opinion. g ‘While there appeared to be a unani- mous opinion that the buyer of liquor is morally as guilty of violating the law as the seller, the suggestion of making him punishable under law gave rise to many conflicting opinions. Speakers at a second session, imme- diately following, included Mrs. Rob- bins Gilman, president of the Federal Motion Picture Council in America, who spoke on “The Crusade for Wholesome Movies”; Harold D. Wilson, assistant to the prohibition administrator at Pitts- burgh, whose subject was “Enforce- ment Accomplishments, Not Alibis,” and Clinton N. Howard, “The Conflict of the Centuries.” The all-day conference opened with & memorial breakfast at the federation's headquarters, "206 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, for the late Emile L. G. Hohenthal, for many. years interna- tional secretary for prohibition in Eu- Tope. His son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Lester Hohenthal of South Manchester, Conn., were guests. Mr. Hohenthal was elected a member of the board of trustees of the organization and also made secretary for prohibition in Europe to succeed his father. At the annual election of officers Dr. Robert Watkins of Philadelphia was chosen president, Dr. Clarence True Wilson was elected first vice president and. Rev. John G. Elliott of Philadel- phia second vice president. Dr. Chase was re-elected superintendent of the federation and Prof. George S. Dun- can was re-clected secretary. W. W. Millan of Washington was named treas- urer and legal counsel ' Virgil G. Hin- shaw of Pasadena, Calif, is the new international secretary. CALIFORNIA MERGER PROPOSAL HITS SNAG Invitation to Conference Refused by Manager of Big Orange Marketing Agency. B the Associated Press. REDLANDS, Calif., December 14.— C. P. Earley,. general manager of the Mutual Orange Distributors, announced here today that his organization had declined an invitation from C. C. ‘Teague, recently appointed by Presi- dent Hoover as a member of the Fed- eral Farm Board, to a conference look- ing toward consolidation of the Cali~ fornia Fruit Growers’ Exchange and the Mutual .Orange Distributors. ‘Teague, in addition to being a mem- ber of the Federal Farm Board, is presi- dent of the California Fruit Growers’ Exchange.

The total turnover of the two organizations during the last ship- ping season was in excess of $125.- 000,000. Earley said the two organizations were in accord on a policy of limited co-ordination of co-operatives, but that he believed “unrestricted competition” between two well ‘organized grower- owned and grower-controlled marketing bodies was better for the industry than & consolidated body.

December 14.— Andre Chevalier, former postmaster general, vesterday told an Associated Press correspondent that Haiti would be satisfied only when President Louis Borno is removed.
