By the Associated Press. Supporters of the eighteenth amend- ment announced today they proposed to utilize the recess period in the House judiciary committee's prohibition hear- ings by going over the testimony of the anti-prohibition group and arranging to call witnesses to combat each phase of the question that opponents of the dry law had touched upon. Mrs. Lenna L. Yost, in charge of the presentation of dry witnesses, said it was the plan of the drys to cover every angle of the question from a moral to a legislative aspect. She added that the problem confront- ing her was attempting to arrange the program to include as many as possible of the number of people desiring to testify. “So many telegrams have come from all parts of the country from persons who desire to testify in support of pro- hibitlon that it will be impossible for all to be heard,” she asserted. “We in- ‘them and present & large number briefly.” The drys have used their first two days in an effort to establish that prohibition has been a contributing factor to home comfort, industrial prosperity, improvement through in- l:l'uledk buying power of the farm market, the general health and that the dry law has the indorsement of h gt soclety, the heads of industry, & farmer and the people as whole.
