B5—4 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, JUNE 24 1930. 0DCOCK 10 USE FIODERATE MEANS New Dry Law Director Wil Act Strictly in Legal Maner. elal Dispatch to The Star. ! BALTIMORE, Md, June 24.—Amos| W. W. Woodcock will discharge his futies ‘as the director of Bureau of Prohibition of the Department of Jus- tice in a restrained manner, strictly within the law and with & proper regard for the Bill of Rights of the Constitu- tion of the United States. Mr. Woodcock indicated today that his regard for the law was too high to permit him to take any other course and that he felt this was the course| which would assure him success and public respect for the office. Seen in his temporary offices on North Eutaw street today, Mr. Wood- cock confined himself to the following statement: “I did not seek this office or desire t, but, having accepted it, I promise to see that the law is administered fairly, honestly, decently, earnestly and, above all, lawfully. “No citizens should be dissatisfied ith it. No citizen has a right to ask — Service in Tropics Will Be Cut to Aid Health of Soldiers By the Associated Press. Secretary Hurley announced today that in order to conserve Army morale and health, the tour of duty in Porto Rico, Panama and the Hawaiian Islands would be reduced for all Army personnel from 3 to 3 years. The order will become effective July 1, 1930, but will be put into effect " gradually, - commensurate with - funds_available for trans- portation. The change will make the tour of duty at the three posts conform with the two year tour in Alaska, China and the Philip~ pines. The War Department order would allow officers and enlisted men who so desire to extend their tours of duty for a third year. SAYS VETERANS’ BILL COST WILL BE HIGH Brig. Gen. Hines, Director of Bu- reau, Says Figures Used in Senate Are Low. | Commenting upon statements made yesterday during the debate of the pend- | ing amendment to the World War vet- s' act, Brig. Gen. Frank P. Hines, tor of the Veterans Bureau, stated that he felt the fololwing facts should be made public: “The figures given in My letter of June 19, 1930, to Senator Reed of the Senate finance committee, have been carefully rechecked and I am satisfied that they are not only correct, but give a very conservative estimate of the first-year cost of the proposed act. “The suggestion of a reduction in this cost is illusory, since the lower figures used in the Senate for the dis- | ability cases arising under presumption of service origin for diseases, are based upon the 1930 expectations, whereas actual payments under the bill would conform to the 1931 expectations. Fur- thermore, the figures used in the Sen- ate do not allow for death cases which have arisen and are certain to arise under mortuary expectations by June 30, 1931. “The removal of the word ‘active’ preceding the word ‘tuberculosis’ in section 10 of the bill opens the way for very large additions to the cost. “Our recheck shows that our orig- inal estimate was conservative. It is my opinion that the bill, as it has passed the Senate, will cost even more.” g ar il Sigrid Undest Defies Chains. Mme. Sigrid Undest, the famous writer and Nobel Prize winner, recently announced that she had “broken at least 20 letter chains and experienced | no misfortunes—if the award of the| literary Nobel Prize is not regarded as| a misfortune.” She added that she tore up one chain letter on the morning of the day when the Nobel Prize was| awarded to her. | LOUISIANA AD TAX IS BELIEVED KILLED Legislative Committee Reports Un- favorably on Measure Backed by Long. By the Associated Press. BATON ROUGE, La., June 24—A bill to tax Louisiana newspapers 15 per cent of their gross advertising income was unfavorably reported today by the House ways and means committee.

The vote to report it unfavorably was ‘unanimous. American maps and charts are being used in Germany. | ART INSTITUTE COMMENCEMENT. HE recital hall of the Institute of Musical Art of this city, beautifully decorated with palms and flowers, was filled to its limits with guests last night to witness the graduation exer- cises of the school. There were three graduates this year, all winning the teacher's diploma, which, it was ex- plained, is granted before the diploma | for complete graduation from the school's curriculum is given. The graduates last night were Hanna Booth, pianist, and Anne Marley and | Stanley Smith, violinists. In solo selec- tions all three showed excellent prepa- | ration of their numbers and both musi- | cal background and thorough training. Miss Booth gave particular authority and charm to her playing of the first movement of Beethoven's “Sonata, | opus 31, No. 3.” Miss Marley accom- | | plished some difficult bowing in “Night | love of it and endeavor to make the | Winds” of Drdla, and Mr. Smith showed musicianly understanding in his playing of *Elegle," by Ernst. An assisting soloist on the program, not a graduate, was DeWitt Feeser, baritone, who won applause for his singing of the air “Ode to the Evening Star,” from Wagner's opera “Tann- hauser.” The school orchestra, playing in an- other room, appeared to marked advan- tage in two selections. The co-ordina- tion in tonal production and the com- mand of correct phrasing and interpre- tation of the andante from Tschaikow- sky's fifth symphony and the adagio- allegro vivace from the fourth sym- phony of Beethoven showed much prog- ress and intelligent practice on the part of these young musicians. ‘The only address of the evening was made by Dr. C. E. Christiani, president of the school, who had as his theme the subject of contentment on the part of each musician with his own gift, earnest most of it, and the neecssity for total | lack of envy of others’ gifts if one was | to succeed with his or her own. Dr. Christiani also presented the diplomas | to the graduates. Water Plant Engineer Dies.

He will go to Washington each day between now and July 1, when the | appointment becomes _effective, His work in Baltimore is said to be in such shape that no difficulty will be involved in transferring the office to another. His duties have taken him away from Baltimore much recently and he has organized his staff in such manner that 4t will run until his successor is named. A bachelor, living at the St. James Apartments, he has not thought much of the transfer of his home, which is really in Salisbury. He will probably travel considerably, making contacts with prohibition enforcement officers and with governors in various States. He will eventually set up a bachelor spartment in Washington, continuing | t spend most of his week ends at | Salisbury as he does now. Has Deputy for Detail. He will be responsible, under the | Attorney General of the United States, | for the Federal .policy toward prohibi- tion enforcement. He will not deal with detail, but will have a deputy who will attend to such matters. He Wwill, at times, appear in the various Federal courts. Mr. Woodcock made it clear that he did not propose his new office to re- sult in less of contact with the peoplc‘ Baltimore or Maryland. He said that he was sincerely sorry to give up his duties in Baltimore and emphasized the fact he was a Marylander and that his own law firm was Woodcock & ‘Webb of Salisbury, where his chair always awaited him. Friends of Mr. Woodcock do not rate a fanatical dry. They rate him as a lawyer who, with a legal duty to discharge, tries to discharge it as a lawyer of high type would. It is known that this is the point of view which Is acceptable to Mr. Woodcock himself, GREAT RECORD AS PROSECUTOR. | By the Associated Press. Preparing to take over the Prohibi- tion Bureau of the Treasury at the end of the month, the Justice Department has selected Amos W. W. Woodcock of Salisbury, Md., for the task of directing enforcement.
