Involving BY MARK SULLIVAN. The agitation about prohibition, like everything else in or near Congress from now on, must be read in the light of one fact about the year that begins next Wednesday. Nineteen-thirty is a political year., It'is a major political year in tHe sense that 34 Senate seats and the 435 seats in the House will be filled in the general election next No- vember. This is the same as saying that 34 Senators and 435 Representa- tives come up for re-election, except- ing & very tiny number who will not attempt to return. ‘The public thinks of these elections as coming in November, which, in fact, they do. The public, therefore, fails to how much the politics of the situation counts mnmu mt:u’; :;e being taken today, nine monf - u‘:e’e of the elecgm'l. ‘To the individual Senators and Representatives the fac- tors that will return them or defeat them are imminent For one thing, the ref of many of them, es) South, is really determined, not in the November election, but in the party pri- maries that come much earlier.

By the Associated Press. A blunt statement that the Coast Guard “means business” and cannot stop liquor smuggling with “soft words and amiable gestures” was added today to the turbulent controversy on prohi- bition enforcement which has enlivened the holidays for official Washington. This assertion was made by Rear Ad- miral Frederick C. Billard, the Coast Guard commandant, upon being in- formed that three men had met death at the hands of his service while at- tempting to run liquor into Narragan- sett Bay. ight, ! t! of ing -liquor smuggling at sea. It is hot'a j‘cb that can be ndled with. soft words and amiable gestures. The Guard is used to carrying out any duty given to it to do with vigor and determination. “Means Business,” He Says. “It means business about this matter and acts strictly within the law. If a 1iquot smuggler elects o defy. the come mand of & Coast Guard craft to stop, he runs a serious risk of nnl% urt through a course of action that the law has specifically authorized for a hun- dred years.” In some quarters Billard's statement was interpreted as an answer to the de- mands of the last week for more rigid enforcement, in line with the Justice ‘s renewal ol ln order that no_prohibition cases to be nolle w without the deplrhnmu con- Reverberations were expected from the most recent statement of Senator h, Republican, Idaho, a scathiny arraignment of enforcement personnel. Meanwhile those identified with the controversy looked forward to the pub- lication of a report by the Hoover Law Enforcement Commission making rec- ommendations for bettering enforce- mznt conditions. The. episode off Naragansett Bay took glm early yesterday morning. In a eavy fog the Coast Guard Dltrol boat, commanded by Boatswain A. C. Cor- nell, came upon the speedboat C-5677 of N:wpon and, a command to stop g:- unheeded, opened fire.
