There have been | weak spots. We have been working hard to eliminate them. “Work Under Great Handicaps.” “From contact with the department over a period of years, I can state that there never has been greater zeal and | activity in the enforcement of law than at the present time. “These men are working under great handicaps. Those in the department connected with prohibition enforcement have been for months past busy on measures for improving personnel, re- lieving congestion in the courts, re- organizing the enforcement agencies and meeting the multitude of problems arising in the effort to improve con- ditions. ~When Congress is ready to consider and adopt legislation to carry out the administration’s recommenda: tions for more adequate law enforce | ment machinery, those whose duty it is to enforce the law will be able to ac- complish more. There has been im- provement in the last six months. There has also, under the President’s leadership, been a change in public attitude toward law observance. 1 agencies in the executive service having any part in enforcing prohibi- tion have been too conscious of de- termined and unceasing pressure from the President for enforcement to leave any room for indifference. Such de- ficlencies as exist in prohibition en- forcement are not due to lack of will to enforce the law either at the top or the bottom.” The text of the Doran statement was: “My attention has been called to a | statement by Senator Borah, in which he says that the prohibition law, in his | opinion, will never be enforced by the | present personnel. | Fears Effect on Morale. ! “With all due respect to the Senator, it seems to me that such a sweeping condemnation of & group of public servants who are honestly and con- scientiously endeavoring to perform their duty is most unfortunate and NING i Members of the Ohio Girls’ Club com- mittee who are arranging the New Year dance 1o be given by the philanthropic organization on New Year eve at the Colonial Hotel. “Upper: Miss Kathryn Kelly, left, and Miss Grace E.

Sometimes they are harmful, Barred by Publications. “Many of the fakers now advertising by radio are of the type denied adver- tising space in reputable newspapers | and magazines. In the last few years, | due to the scrutiny of doubtful adver- | tising by periodicals, many of these men have been driven out of business or were forced to resort to foreign-lan- guage advertising, the use of street bound to have a disheartening effect upon the morale of the service. This is not to say that in a large organiza- tion such as that of the Prohibition Bureau there are not weak spots, It is not to say that administration is not susceptible to improvement, but to say that prohibition cannot be enforced with the present personnel comes periously near to saying that it can- not be enforced at all. Based on my 22 years of experience in the Govern- ment service, I can affirm that on the whole we are not likely to find a more loyal and conscientious group of men than are now serving under me. In this connection it should not be for- gotten that they are now chosen from Civil Service lists, based on open com- vetitive examinations in accordance with the reorganization act recently passed by the Congress, and it is hard to believe that in the future the Con- gress will authorize looking elsewhere for new recruits. “‘Moreover such a sweeping statement overlooks the very marked progress which has been made in this particular field of law enforcement which is set forth in detail in my report to the Con- ;re? and which is amply supported by acts. “Important as is the problem of per- gonmL it not the only problem. As see it, aside from the co-operation of involved in the enforcement of the pro- hibition laws. First, there must be the will to enforce. No one, I think, will deny that under the present admin- | istration has existed a whole-hearted | determination to enforce the law. This has been evidenced by the clean-cut declarations of the Chief Executive, which in my judgment have not only had an inspiring effect on the morale of public u‘;vln'-s, but hlvehmez with a very genuine response on the part of private citizens. No one in my ll’;‘urenu has any doubt as to the position of this administration on this point. Reorganization Plan Drawn, “But given the will to enforce, given @ suitable personnel taken from civil service lists, there still remains the problem of the most effective kind of an administrative set-up, and this relates not only to the enforcement of the law within our borders, but to the shutting off of the supply of illicit liquor from without our borders.” “Acting under instructions from the President, in the course of the last few months an exhaustive study has been made, not only of the best means to im- g;ove the administration of the law, t of the proper relation between Fed- eral and State enforcement forces. As @ result of these studies, there has been prepared and will be submitted to the ‘Congress a plan of reorganization which, in my judgment, will promote the bet- ter enforcement of the law. “Moreover, the Treasury Department is prepared to submit to the Congress a program looking to the more effective prevention of smuggling on our land borders by establishing a limited num- ber of points of entry and providing for the guarding of the area between these points by a unified border patrol under the Coast Guard, in so far as our water frontiers are concerned. I understand that Admiral Billard has submitted a program looking to the strengthening of our Coast Guard fleet not only on the ocean, but on our inland waters, which has met with the approval of the Treas- ury Department. “In conclusion, I afirm that genuine progress is being made in the enforce- ment of the prohibition laws, that the personnel in the Federal prohibition service is steadily improving in morale and efficiency, that my observation leads me to believe that under the leadershij of the President there has been a mutg more helpful attitude on the part of the public, and finally, in so far as ad- ministration is concerned, a program fs ready for submission to the Congress.” Text of Borah Statement. The text of Borah's statement was: “The Attorney General’s statement is encouraging. He states that an effort is being made to improve the personnel. Evidently its conditions were such as to call for an effort and an heroic el A How much progress has been made I have no means of knowing, as its results have not appeared on the face of thi . truth of the business is that the rsonnel is in need of drastic over- uling, and if the Attorney General is engaged in that work, strength to his arm. “If there is any proposal before Con- gress which® will help_this particular hawkers or pitchmen, house canvassing. Dr. Wynne's appeal to the Radio Commission followed a survey of radio “health talks” and other medical broadcasts. Health Department inspec- tors investigated a number of the “doctors” and companies offering health devices and treatments. As a result of these investigations, Dr. Wynne said he was convinced that the “radio quack” was a serious menace to public health. “The use of radio by fake doctors and unscrupulous commercial organi- zations is & more serious menace to the health than the use of advertisements in the press,” said the letter, “because such radio programs are listened to by larger audiences. New York being one of the largest centers of population, these programs pour into us from nests of smaller radio stations in surrounding communities outside of our own city and State. “I write to ask whether there is any- thing in the existing laws which you might invoke to stop this practice. If there is not, is there any kind of vol- | untary scrutiny which can be set up to weed out these quacks and clear the alr of their polsonous commercial prop- | aganda? “Whilé we are constitutionally op- posed to the principle of censorship, we feel that the practice which has been adopted by the leading radio stations of submitting their sponsors’ health products and service for the approval | of local health departments might be an effective way of handling this among | the other stations.” COMPLAINT IS SECOND. and house-to- Commissioner Wynne'’s Letter Similar to One From S. Dana Hubbard. Commissioner Wynne's complaint was received this afternoon by Federal Radio Commission, but the commission matter be kept confidential and refused | to_make its text public. Meanwhile, however, it was learned that the Wynne complaint is the sec- ond of such complaints. On December 6 last a lengthy complaint was received from S. Dana Hubbard, commissioner of the Division of Legal Medicine of New York, which set forth that two New York broadcasting stations were permit- ting programs to be sent out by their equipment and presumably from their studios, making claims of cures which Dr. Hubbard claims are fraudulent and constitute fraudulent advertising. ‘Two radio stations are named in one of the letters received by the Commis- sion. The first-named station has a contract with a Boston company, ac- cording to the correspondence, running until the middle of 1930, Dr. Hubbard said the station has per- mitted broadcasts from its studios con- | taining the assertion that the Boston concern’s peeparation “will cure rheu- matism.” r. Hubbard, according to | the letter, has been in communication with the National Better Business Bu- reau and the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. In reply to Dr. Hubbard's letter of complaint, the commission answered with the usual formal letter acknowl- | edging receipt, but pointed out that under the law the commission has no authority to censor radio programs. The commission’s letter pointed out, however, that Dr. Hubbard’s letter may be considered when the regular period for issuing every three months. The commission, the letter said, will compare programs and_consider the complaint set forth | by Dr. Hubbard. |of a concern which claims, Dr. Hub- bard said, “to cure asthma in six treat- ments.” Dr. Hubbard claimed medical fraud in this advertisement also, and | sald that if the claims of the corpora- tion could be proven successfully, “the station advertises over the air on behalf | i Rockefeller and Ford put together.” Medicine, found no specific cure for asthma. e ‘Wood Carver, 99, Dies.

SEATTLE, Wash., December 26.—The Pacific Northwest, particularly Western ‘Washington, was recovering today from | the most destructive storm of the Win- ter. The wind reached a velocity of 50 miles an hour, disrupting telephone, telegraph and electric light and power service. Frank D. Boeckling, Purdue Univer- sity graduate, who recently came Yo the State, was killed by a falling tree near Tolt, north of Seattle, when he got out of his car to remove an obstacle from the highway. His companion was un- injured. ‘While telephone and telegraph wires had been repaired to a great extent, wires north of Vancouver, B. C., were still out tonight. The wind raised havoc with long rafts in Puget Sound harbors. Tugs were kept busy in Seattle waterways capturing drifting houseboats and re- turning them to their moorings. The wind rose steadily. It gradually fell off today and the sun broke through the clouds before noon. THREE BIG CABIN PLANES, LAST HOPE FOR EIELSON, RUSHED NORTH FOR HUNT (Continued From First Page.) Borland were flying when lost, with these open planes, but had nearly ex- hausted their supply of gasoline on the flight from Teller. They have been able to do some scouting, because they were able to borrow gasoline from the Rus- slan ship Stavropol, lockeq in the ice near the Nanuk. Although the flyers at the Nanuk had been unable to find any trace of the Elelson plane, dispatches from Nome yesterday said Crosson had heard from traders and natives that the plane was heard circling overhead for a long time as if seeking a place to land. Crosson did not say where the place was, but this information will be obtained later and an intensive search made over the area. ‘The Canadian planes will be flown by Capt. T. M. (Pat) Reid, chief pilot, and B. W. Broatch and Gifford Swartman, assoclate pilots. Maj. H. C. Deckard is in charge of the expedition. RUSSIAN ACE TO AID SEARCH. MOSCOW, December 26 (#).—Per- sonal appeal of Senator Borah of Idaho, chairman of the Senate foreign rela- tions committee, and of the United States Department of the Interior to the Moscow government for aid in search for Carl Ben Eielson and Earl Borland in the icy wastes of Siberia was answered today. ‘The Soviet foreign office announced that an airplane was dispatched Wed- nesday to search for the two missing American aviators. | ‘The announcement said also two oth- er airplanes would be dispatched im- mediately to aid in search of the miss- ing airmen.

C., THURSDAY, DEC MORE MONEY SEEN AS DRY FORGE NEED Senator Harris to Work for Larger Appropriations as« Result of Controversy. Developments in the controversy over today were: Senator Sheppard of Texas, co-author of the eighteenth amendment, plans to press consjderation of his bill making purchasers of liquor guilty of law vio- | lation along with the sellers. |, Senator Harris of Georgia said that he was convinced from the statements issued by Senator Borah, Attorney Gen- eral Mitchell and Prohibition Commis- sioner Doran that more money must be appropriated by Congress for prohibi- tion enforcement. Senator Harris also insisted that he would demand action on his resolution calling for a report on prohibition en- forcement from the President’s Crime Commission before the Senate takes up the Treasury appropriation bill, carrying }approprhtlons for prohibition’ enforce- ment, | It is understood that Senator Norris | will not be ready to go ahead with | Sheppard bill and hearings on it un- til after the tariff bill has been dis- posed of by the Senate, probably some time in February. With more money appropriated for prohibition enforcement Senator Harris said it would be possible to employ | more prohibition agents and get a bet- ter class of them. “I do not mean to reflect on the present prohibition officers when I say this,” said Senator Harris. “But it is quite clear that we need more men and the best class of men that we can have to enforce the prohibition laws.” Senator Harris said that the report sent to the Senate dealing with the ac- tivities of the prohibition unit and going into details of what has been done since the appropriation was in- | creased last ye shows that in some districts there had been less work done than before the increased appropriation was made. This, in the opinion of Sen- ator Harris, clearly indicates that there is something wrong with prohibition en- forcement s it is now conducted. The Georgia Senator said that he saw no reason why the President’s Crime Commission could not make a re- port on prohibition, He sald that delay | in the report was just playing into the hands of every man who is opposed to prohibition. The Congress, he said, | when it provided the money for the Crime Commission, intended particu- | larly to have the money used to investi- gate and report on prohibition enforce- ment. Senator Harris and other prohibition Senators have been disturbed over re- ports that the Crime Commission is set- tling down here for the next two to four years. If there is to be any such pro- tracted consideration of prohibition en- forcement by the commission, Senator Harris and the others wish to know it.

TWELFTH GRADE HOLDS REVOLT PERIOD FOR FLAMING YOUTH “Deviation™ in Attitude Toward Law Is Greatest Among Seniors—Civic , Clubs’ Rating Is Poor. By the Associated Press. DES MOINES, Iowa, December 26.— The age when flaming youth begins to revolt was identified in a report to the education section of the American As- sociation for the Advancement of Sci- ence today. ‘That period is the twelfth grade, the seniors in high school. The revolt then, scientifically called “deviation,” is defi- nite and uniform, whether for city, sub- urban or country youth. But it is also slight, giving little basis for anathemas against modern young folk, and there is a recovery of ideals later on, and the youngsters, despite their tendency to crack, appear to have a higher rat- ing than some, though not all, of their elders. Boys Outflare Girls. In the period of outbreak the boys outflare the girls. The report appears to fix a time when it may be especially valuable to guard the development of youth. The twelfth grade deviation was found during a study of the attitudes of 3,500 Iowa school children toward law. It was made this year by Dr. E. G. Lockhart, professor of psychology at Drake Uni- versity. The youngsters answered 51 questions about 20 laws more or less familiar to children and the standard used for measuring their answers was almost august, being the replies to the same questions by 50 lawyers of the highest rank Jowa. The children ranged from the fourth grade to the twelfth.. The lawyers scored a percentage of 48.08 and the fourth graders 44.07. The children's percentages rose until its peak was in the eleventh grade with 47.29. Then the twelfth grade dropped to 46.08. The higher group, however, college graduates, rose to 47.58, a point higher than the grades. A small town civic club was below even the twelfth graders, with a score of 45.73. “We found,” sald Dr. Lockhart, “that attitude toward law improves with each intelligence until high school. At the highest level of intelligence in high school we discovered a tendency to fall below, or perhaps we had better say deviate, from the attitude held by adults. ‘This group stubbornly persists in an attitude that does not conform to the adults. It is the influence of this group in grade 12 that pulls down their mean score. The significance of this finding may be far reaching and worthy of ex- haustive research. Problem Is Held Individual. “Sex appears to have no influence of consequence on attitude toward law. In grades 11 and 12 the girls are shown to have an attitude slightly nearer that of adults than the boys. This difference is small but constant. “Social and economic status is of no WAGNER OPPOSES PARTIAL DRY REPORT Commission Should Be Given Time to Complete Deliberations, Says Senator. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 26.—United States Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York last night expressed a hope no serious consideration would be given to efforts of some dry Senators to have the Hoover law enforcement commission make a preliminary report on prohibi- tion enforcement. Senator Wagner’s statement also said he was “quite certain the President will pay no heed to the demand” for re- moval from the commission of Judge Paul J. McCormick because of the jurist’s recent comment in Los Angeles on what he called “Government lawlessness” in connection with prohibition. Mr. Wagner said there was “evidence aplenty that dry agents had searched homes of innocent citizens without war- | rants, and declared there was “nothing so offensive to the public sense of what is right.” Referring to the demand for a pre- liminary report, he said it was “impera- tive that the commission be given both the time and the latitude” to make its report on the basis of “complete in- formation and mature deliberation.” | | | | WITH Comes both capped an Phone WEST SPECIAL | NURSERY MILK ‘The letter also said that the other || (HIGHEST GRADE HOLSTEIN) PRODUCED IN CO - OPERATION DR. ]J.

We find a lawless attitude as frequently those of high intelligence as among those of low. Lawless attitude seems to be a problem of the individual.” Leaving home on Christmas, scientists | from all parts of the country started for Des Moines for their annual meet- ing, which will continue through Jan- uary 2, with no time out to celebrate New Year day. Annually these mem- bers of the American Association for the Advancement of Scoence, the largest general scientific organization in the United States, make a similar trek, giv- up the holidays that to multitudes are almost sacred, and giving rise to questions why scientists do such things. Necessity rather than choice is the | reason. Although science has spread throughout industry, the teachers in schools and colleges still remain the largest fountain head of science in the United States. They cannot leave their principal business, which is teaching, during school months, and they are too scattered by other necessary occupations to use Summer vacation time. ‘The Christmas holidays offer the only other period of sufficlent length.
