GEOREIADRY GROUP HTS PESSNITS Asks Ouster of All Officials Who Say Prohibition Is Impossible. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, June 30.—Resignation of officeholders who say prohibition cannot be enforced is demanded by Georgia dry leaders and a group of their fol- lowers. Resolutions expressing full faith in prohibition and asking that every offi- cial who says enforcement is impossibls “resign from an office which he has thereby traitorously betrayed” were adopted at a mass meeting here last night after addresses by former Con- | gressman William D. Upshaw, Dr. Mary Harris Armor, Women's Christian Tem- | perance Union worker; Atticus Webb, | superintendent of the Texas Anti-Saloon | League, and W. A. Covington, one of ;he spensors of Georgla's pmhlbllloni aw. The meeting followed a statement of | Mayor James L. Key in France that prohibition is a “failure® and the an- nouncement of Chief of Police James Beavers that Atlanta could not hire enough policemen to stop bootlegging. Upshaw Challenges Key. Upshaw in his address challenged Mayor Key “to declare on oath that he has not taken a drink or patronized ® bootlegger since he has been mayor of Atlanta.” Mrs. Armor sald that “there are thou- ands of people in Georgia who would urn at the stake rather than permit ( the eighteenth amendment to be | changed in the slightest.” Referring to Mayor Key's recital of | & visit to a New York speakeasy in | order to investigate prohibition condi- | tions, Webb said that the mayor of | his home town, Dallas, Tex., “doesn't go_to speakeasies, but he sends the! police.” Key Reiterates Stand. { Covington said that “the way to deal Wwith this liquor question is to make it eriminal to sell or give the stuff away.” Prior to the mass meeting, Mayor Key | contributed further to the controversy | that has raged here ever since his original statement while touring France by summarizing his position as follows: “Is there any one anywhere in the ‘whole United States who wants liquor and has the price who is not getting it? “Does your boy or your daughter want lquor and cannot get it? “When the eighteenth amendment was passed, we were told these two ideals were its aims. It has failed in ‘both, and failed miserably.” HOOVER PLAN DELAYS EUROPEAN AID PARLEY Economie Union Commission Holds Off Sessions Until Last Week in August. By the Assoclated Press.
