But, while picturing what would happen 1if the | plane did a 10-degree barreil roll—there | being no straps to hang onto—Albert is- | sued the order to slide up front. Impromptu Seat Revised. To do this it was necessary to get past @ huge tank which supplies fuel | for the Big Ben—the rear end of the | plane being used to carry gasoline for the .refueling—and so taking a front seat was accomplished head first in the undignified fashion of going under a barbed-wire fence. After getting righted in a space two feet square and minding stern orders not to touch knobs and things, an impromptu seat was devised with a spare cushion on a battery box along side the pilot’s place. There was no use worrying about how to exit sudden- | 1y. The food and supplies to be dropped to the endurance plane were packed in strong canvass bags to which a rope was tied. When these were placed in | the fuselage Walter did a Houdini to | the pliot's seat, but Albert crouched out of the draft of the open doorway, carefully guarding the food bags and holding onto a strut. | QUEER SENSATION OF WATCHING PLANE REFUELING IS DESCRIBED First One Received by Reporter Going Up in Big Ben as Spot Over Cemetery Is Chosen for Contact.

Soaring and maneuvering, Ben and the City of Chicago ap- proached one another. Gaining head- way the refueling plane straightened out and held a dead level course. The next move was up to the black and orange monoplane, and on that next move depended much, the trick being to come close yet not too close. ‘The planes contacted at 30 feet and from the windew of the Big Ben that didn’t look like any distance at all. The wing tips, all _that could be seen of the City of Chicago, bobbed up and down below and, remembering the whirling propeller, hope came that one plane wouldn’t bob up while the other bobbed down.

Roaring too close for the comfort of a novice, the monoplane zoomed up on a_ level with the Big Ben, and the planes flew tip to tip. John and Ken- neth grinned and waved their thanks.

Maurice Campbell, until today prohibition ad- ministrator for New York, advocates the repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment. | He resigned when ordered to Baston to take charge of alcohol permits under the Treasury Department in the re- organization of the prohibition forces which transferred enforcement to the Department of Justice. His declaration for repeal of the eighteenth amendment was part of a statement published today, in which he | charged that his transfer to Boston re- sulted from refusal to grant or restore | brewery. whisky and alcohol permits which “local politicians and certain ad- ministration officials in Washington feel must be restored to secure necessary support for the Republican ticket in | New York this Fall.” Cautions New Appointee. Referring to Willlam B. Moss, who has been transferred from the post of prohibition administrator at Albany, N. Y., to take charge of alcohol permits in New York, Campbell said “Possibly officials in Washington think he ‘can-be more easily swayed | than myself. I do not know. But I now publicly admonish him to gather to- gether all his strength to withstand the onslaught, for I am sure he will have need for all the ability and courage he can command. “And now, after four years as one of the highest field officiaia in probili- tion enforcement, with three years of that time as adminstrator in New York, I publicly declare that certain Treasury officials, who have been charged with enforcement of the national prohibi- #on act, and who are still to remain in chatge of kindred activities, have not been sincere in their efforts to enforce this law. “Further, in New York and other areas in which the sentiment of the people is predominantly wet, this tran: fer of enforcement activities to the De- partment of Justice will mean nothing s0 long as prohibition prosecutions are left to United States attorneys who pos- sess political aspirations, the success of which must depend upon their ability to win the approval of local politicians and their community for their prosecut ing activities, Denies Problem Solved. “Pinally, after my years of service in the Prohibition Bureau, after watching closely the results of prohibition from | the inside and after the most thought- ful ‘and serious consideration of the matter, I have reached the following conclusion: “Prohibition is not the logical solu- tion for temperance in our form of gov- | ernment, and I now publicly advocate | the repeal of the eighteenth amendment | before the Nation is congumed in the fires of its consequences.” After issuing his statement Campbell learned that a Federal grand jury had handed up a presentment charging laxity in the issuance of permits in the office of the prohibition administrator and accusing him of nonfeasance. Campbell said the presentment had been incited by United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle. “Mr. Tuttle is playing politics” he said. “Above all things, Tuttle desires to be the candidate for Governor of this Tuttle replied by denying that his office had anything to do with the grand jury praientment, and said that Campbell ‘was mistaken regarding his candidacy for Governor.

Uf- ford, executive secretary of the Asso- clated Charities, at a meeting held at the camp last night. It was the third of a series of meet- ings being held by Community Chest workers at the headquarters of organi- zations affiliated with the Chest, the purpose of which is to better acquaimt | member bodles with the methods of | distributing funds raised through the annual drive. Mr. Ufford told how the present camp had been bullt largely through the gen- erosity of Washington people. The Ki- wanis Club, for instance, had contrib- uted the large dining hall which is used at the camp. Other contractors and builders, Mr. Ufford explained, erected buildings, built the swimming pool, fur- nished sewers, lighting and other acces- sories at cost, giving the Associated Charities a place for tired mothers and children to rest at a cost approximately half of what the open market price would have been.

DRY TASK IS TAKEN OVER BY MITCHELL Woodcock Sworn in as New Chief—Doran Becomes Al- cohol Commissioner. Transfer of prohibition enforcement from the Treasury to the Department of Justice today became an ac-| complished fact, while the Treasury Department put into effect a new set- up of its same officials, for handling | industrial alcohol and narcotics. As the new fiscal year opened sev- | eral important changes took place. At the Department of Justice, in the presence of high officials, Amos W. W. Woodcock of Maryland was sworn | in as the new director of prohibitioa, | and Howard T. Jones of Pennsylvania, & member of the Department cf Jus- tice staff, took the oath as ussistant director of prohibition. | At the Treasury Department, in the | Southern Railway Bullding, corner | Thirteznth and E streets, Dr. James M. | Doran, the former commissioner of pro- hibition became the new commissioner | of industrial alcohol, at the same salary; | Harry J.

Meantime Mr. Anslinger was given the added and important assignm-nt as the acting commissioner of narcotics under the Porter act, which sets up, effective today, a new Bureau of Nar- cotics within the Treasury Department. Mr. Anslinger for several months has been in charge of narcotic enforcement, in his former capacity, and the new appointment carried forward his re- sponsibility under increased powers, making him the head of a new bureau. The post of commissioner of narco- tics s a presidential appointment, and President Hoover up to noon today had not sent & nomination to the Senate for this post. The act prqvides that in the absence of a duly appointed | president commissioner, the Secretary of the Treasury shall fill the post. This was done this morning, and Mr. Ans- | linger has the title of “acting commis- sioner.” Whether he will be made the com- missioner by < President Hoover re- mained one of the most interesting un- solved problems remaining to be settied in the big shifts which took place this morning. There are many active can- didates for this job, and the President has been besieged both by the candi- dates themselves and their supporters. It was believed in official circles that Anslinger would continue as acting com- | missioner for some time until matters settle down somewhat with the new machinery following the shift in good working order. | Leaves New Post Vacant. This arrangement, however, leaves the new post of deputy commissioner of narcotics vacant.

Justice Peyton Gordon in Criminal | Division 1 today sustained the demurrer | of Representative Edward E. Denison of Tllinois to an indictment for possession of whisky reported against him by the grand jury November 19 last. The court held that the indictment, which is included in eight lines of type- | writing, fails to reach the constithtional requirement that a defendant be ad- | vised with particularity of the nature of the charge against him so that he may frame his defense and may be able | to plead an acquittal of the charge as & bar to a subsequent indictment. Denison and John Layne, described as his secretary, were indicted follow- | ing the discovery by prohibition agents of a leaking suit case at Union Station which was found to have been sent with a trunk consigned to Layne, which had been delivered at the office of | Denison in the House Office Building. | Although the whisky was discovered and agents had taken possession of the trunk, containing other _intoxicants, January 19, it was not until November 6, last, that the matter was brought to the attention of United States At- torney Leo A.

Leahy, Everett | Sanders, former secretary to President | Coolidge, and E. Hilton Jacksoa, for | Mr. Denison, filed a demurrer to the in- | dictment which Justice Gordon has had | under advisement for some weeks.
