THE DRY REPEAL FOUGHT BY COL. ANDERSON ‘Admits, However, He Still Believes Modification Is Best Solution. Bythe Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va., April 13—Col. Henry W. Anderson still believes that modification of the eighteenth amend- ment is the best solution of the liquor roblem, but he will not support at- empts to repeal the dry laws. Speaking to the Republican Club of Richmond last night, Mr. Anderson, who, as a member of the Wickersham Committee, had urged modification of the liquor law, said he could be classified neither as a wet nor a dry. Instead he claimed to be only “an American citizen who desires to see this problem solved by constructive methods which will reduce the use of intoxicating liquors to a minimum, take from the criminal element of the country one of their chief sources of income, and promote the social and economic wel- fare of this Nation." ‘Wants No Saloons. ‘Whatever revision is made, if any, he said, must preserve “the advantages already gained” under the cighteenth amendment. “Prohibition against the return of the saloon, locally or na- tionally, must be insured,” he asserted. He proposed that the State have “a maximum of discretion” in the liquor trade “consistent with effective regula- tion.” He pointed out that Federal regulation would be needed to control the flow of liquor into this country, as well as the flow of liquor across State lines. Saying that repeal of the eighteenth smendment “would leave us in a condi- tion of social chaos,” Col. Anderson as- serted that “a revision of the amend- ment and laws * * * would be & pro- gressive and constructive treatment of this important problem.” Ridicules Referendum. He ridiculed attempts to hold a na- tional referendum on the wet and dry issue, saying that the Constitution of the United States “provides for no such action.” If a referendum were held, he said, “it would decide nothing and She controversy would continue.” The attempt to submit the question to the people was termed “one of the fa- vorite means by which political leaders seek to avoid responsibility.” He said the issue could not be submitted to the people “except by submitting a new amendment for its repeal.” He added that “the objections to this procedure are manifest.” iz o RESOLUTION ASKS BRANCH LIBRARY Sixteenth Street Heights Calls At- tention to Fact Takoma Park Has Closest. A branch library for the section cov- ered by the Sixteenth Street Heights Citizens’ Association was asked in a resolution adopted by that body meet- ing in Northminster Presbyterian Church last night.

Schmidt, the association’s secretary was instructed to send a request to the District Health Department to have water standing in depressions back of stores near the in- tersection of Georgla and Alaska ave- nues drained.
