MASKED MEN ROB BANK Str DEMOCRA ISPAN SENATE PROGRAM Economy, Farm Relief, War | Debts and Prohibition in | Robhinson List. | BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. | The Democrats in the Senate, under the leadership of Senator Joseph T.| Robinson of Arkansas, are undertaking | formulation of a definite program of | legislation covering Federal economy, farm relief, the war debts and prohibi- | tion, Robinson revealed today on his| return to Washington. “The Democrats in the Senate,” the Senator said, “intend to do everything in their power at the short sessicn of | Congrzss to respond to the obligations | which rest on them as the result of the election.” | Scnator Robinson, in reply to ques- | tions, said that if the House s a resolution repealing _the _eighteenth amendment on the first day of the short session and sends it to the Sen- ate it probably would be referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. There, he said, the form of the resolution and the amendment to be submitted would be given censideration. Speedy Action Desired. ‘The Arkansas Senator said he be- lieved action on the prohibition ques- mnbtuhouw be taken as speedily as “When the prohibition reaches the Senate,” he said, “I the question will be raised of modifica- tion and direct and unqualified repeal.” He pointed out that the Dzmocratic platform -tated that cry States should be given protection if they need it against ‘importation of liquor from wet territory. Also the platform declared against the return of the saloon. Senator Robinson took the yo:mon A6k ‘50 1o permis pecr is pasced by act so as passed b; the House, the Senate should give 1{ as early consideration as possible. “I belleve that the country should have the benefit of the revenue from such & messure as soon as it can” Senator Robinson said. He took the position that during the short session the question of repeal of the eighteenth amendment and modifica- tion of the Volstead act should be voted on in Congress and gave the impres- slo;uehe guld do all he could to ex- pedite such a program. “I do not consider these questions of prohibition the most important that will be before Congress at the short session, however,” he de:hfld.l He said t“i;:n | relief legislation was of very grea - | portance and that it was a difficult sub- | ject to deal with.

By the Assoclated Prese With events moving swiftly toward the vote expected in the House Mon- day, some Republicans indicated today they would seek amendment of the Garner repeal resolution along the lines of their party's platform declarations. ‘While word to this effect was thrust into the kaleidoscopic picture, Demo- cratic leaders went confldently ahead with their plans, their hopes for mus- tering the necessary two-thirds major- ity measurably added to by newly ar- riving members fcr the important open- ing day. ‘The Garner resclution provides for cu‘right repeal, with a provision for ratification by State conventions. This follows the Democratic party platform, | and while many Republican leaders have joined in expressicns for imme- diate “action on repeal, they believe some provision should be made to af- ford Federal protection to dry States and outlaw the saloon. Committee Meets Tomorrow. ‘Whether they would conduct an ac- tive fight in the House Judiciary Com- mittee meeting tomorrow when the Garner resolution will be considered, was not made clear. In any event, there will be moves by some, including Democrats, to provide ratification by s‘m.e Legislatures instead of conven- ticns. Speaker Garner, although declining to predict House passage, said an in- ccmplete poll of the membership showed 2 swing in that direction. The poll was conducted by Representative Milligan of Missouri, assistant Democratic whip. Milligan said it was a “long guess,” but indications were that 125 Repub- licans and 150 Democrats would vote favorably, or a total of 275. He ex- pressed the opinion that 275 “will be cnough” to obtain the two-thirds ma- jority required for. adoption of & pro- posed constitutional amendment. Drys Prepare Protests.

IF YOU'RE NOT' CAREFUL WE'LL READYou OUT e THATS WHAT You SAID IN SHITH ASKS UNTED Y GIVERNMENT Urges Unification of Five New York Boroughs and Two- House Legislature. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 1.—Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith today presented to the Hofstadter Legislative Commit- tee a detailed plan for complete reor- ganization of the city Government, under which the meyor would be the supreme executive officer with a Legis- lature of two Houses, a city Senate and a city Assembly, under him. Smith, who was reared on the lower East side, served in the Assembly and was four times elected Governor of New York, told the committee that the borough system, adopted 35 years ago, had become antiquated and that it was be_five citles er one city. ‘He said that the present time offered the first opportunity that has arisen during his quarter century in public life to cbiain a thorough-going reor- ganization to bring the city Govern- ment up to date. Crowd Greets Ex-Governor. A crowd greeted the former Governor as he arrived for the hearing, wearing 1 black derby and overcoat and smoking a cigar. Under his arm as he went to the stand he carried a sheaf of what ap- peared to be cherts and other data from which he was to give his sucges tions for bettering the city Govern- ment. The former Governor's plan provided for replacing the present numerous city departments with 10 city-wide depart- ments under the mayor’s office and an additional department of audit and control replacing the controller’s office, the head of which would be independ- ently chosen by the electorate. The controller’s office, according to the plan, would be shorn of its present & \strative duties and the controller would be purely an auditor.
