HURLEY FORECASTS DRY LAW REFORMS Thinks G. 0. P. Will Take More Liberal Stand on Issue at Convention. By the Associated Press, CHICAGO, March 18.—Patrick J. Hurley, the Republican Secretary of War, has expressed the opinion a “more liberal” stand on the prohibition issue would be taken by his party's national convention in Chicago this June. Here to give at St. Patrick's day address, Secretary Hurley told an in- terviewer yesterday he thought the prokdbition” question eventually would be settled on the basis of State's rights, with Federal enforcement limited to preventing liquor traffic into Stafes that wish to be dry. “A great many peofle are goin look for wet randidates on the next Fall,” he said in discussing "the convention’s prohibition attitude. He appeared last night on the same program of the Irish Fellowship Club at which-United States Senator Otis F. Glenn, Republican, of Illinois, voiced a forecast the prohibition law in time would be repealed. Senator Glenn Speaks. “The handwriting,” Senator Glenn said, “is on the wall and fear stalks behind those members of the House and Senate who have used parliamen- tary ooinfons from their private practices.” Hurley, during the interview, declared the prohibition amendment and the Federal income tax were the only twe provisions in the Constitution Which interfered with State's rights and ob- served that the Democrats put them both there during the Wilson admin- ration. m"!‘!et." he said, “John Raskob calls those Republicans ‘Judases’ who come out against prohibition. It was @& Democratic measure, Benator Morris Sheppard of outstanding Democratic statesman. Still the Democratic party claims & tradition of defending States’ rights. President Hoover, the Secretary of War predicted, would be re-elected be- cause, while He was openly opposed by the Democrats and secretly by many Republican leaders, he had the masses of the people behind him. Racketeers Scored. In his Fellowship Club address, Hurley voiced a plea for the preserva- tion of America’s economic system. It | needed changes, he said, because it had created “an unequal distribution of wealth,” but it was worth saving because it brought happiness to a greater number of people than any in history The changes, he said, should be made only after due deliberation, not | “in the excitement of a temporary crisis.” He scored the racketeer as the Na- tian's greatest threat to life, liberty anfi happiness, and suggested Lhnt’ what was needed to get rid of the gangster was no more laws, but revived popular interest in Government and *an honest enforcement ¢f the law.” H.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT| HOUSE, Va, March 18.—Arlington | County authorities now are faced with | the possibility of not being able to pre- pare the budget for approval by the| county board by April 1, as required by | law, according to County Manager Roy | S. Braden. The auditing of the books | of the former county treasurer, the pro- posal that a new bookkeeping system be installed, the cost of which is not yet | known; the problem created by the pas- | sage of the Byrd road plan law, the| cost of the audit now going on, the in- terest to be paid on money borrowed to run the county government, all have served to leave in doubt the matter of how much will be needed to run the county, it was explained. A tentative budget was submittted to the board on February 6, but this now is declared to be worthless, and the chaos in county affairs, it was asserted, will| make it almost impossible to comply | with the law. The budget also is sup- posed to be submitted to the people prior to the time of its adoption by the county board While the county officials are said not to have any figures as to the prob- able cost of installing the central ac- counting system, they are likewise without information as to the personnel therefore cannot make an estimate to be_included in the budget. Further difficulty, it was said, is pre- sented in the installation of the unit system of levying for the county's ex- penses. This was authorized by an act of the last General Assembly. Heretofore, a separate levy was made for each county expense. ‘While it is stated that the bonding company will make good any shortages which may be found as a result of the audit, it was pointed out that the ment of the interest on the borrowed funds will have to be figured in the| budget. The county will be required to pay the cost of the audit by the State and the salaries and expenses of the six State employes engaged in this work. D. C.

MACKINTOSH HIT AS FOE OF LABOR {Former Member of Wicker- sham Commission Opposed for Judgeship. By the Associated Pri President Hoover's nomination of Kenneth Mackintosh of Washington State to the Ninth Circuit bench was protested today before a Senate Judi- clary Subcommittee by the Americon Fedg’mt!on of Labor, but supported by Senator Jones, Republican, Washington. Mackintosh, in a letter to the Com- mitte, said he had been “entirely mis- understood” when he was quoted as advocating hanging for a boy convicted f murder. > Edward J. Tracy, representing the labor federation, testified that as a State judge Mackintosh had shown views antagonistic to organized labor. Defended by Jones. Senator Jones said he did not be- lieve the cases cited by Tracy indicated an unfriendly attitude toward labor and asserted they were based on previous court decisions. Jones said he had “never heard any criticism of the honesty, intergrity or ability” of Mackintosh on the State bench. “He is just as liberal in his views as would be expected under the IIW§ he has been called upon to construe,” he sald. The Washington Senator, a prohibi- tion supporter, said the views of the nominee on that question “would not | affect his views as a judge.” The Mackintosh letter in regard to the hanging of the boy was in reply to one from Blaine. The nominee said the boy presented a case of juvenile degeneracy with which suthorities were unable to cope and because of his heredity it seemed All the leading style hits are shown at Ney's .
