A congressional investigation of the *“liquor lobby” was predicted today by Representative Fuller, Democrat. of Arkansas. . | Fuller is a leading member of the House Ways and Means Committee, and sought unsuccessfully to get Con- gress to permit sale of liquor in bar- rels. “The bottle trust whipped us on that,” Fuller said today. “But the fight isn't anywhere near over. It's Just beginning. “I say flatly that next session we are going to put through a resolution setting up a special committee to in-| vestigate the liquor situation.” ‘The new alcohol control plan, set- ting up a Federal Alcohol Administra- tion as a division in the Treasury, Ful- Jer described as “a surrender to the lquor and glass bottle lobby.” “The liquor monopoly,” he asserted, *“is absolutely controlling and dictating the terms and provisions of our laws THE EVENING G.

Ryan and Fred W. Mixer.—Star Staff Photos. HE Department of the Potomac, Grand Army of the Republic, does not want the 1936 G. A. R. convention held here, a poll of its active members revealed today. The Union veterans contend the District department is unable physi- cally or financially to undertake play- ing host for such a conclawe. Fur- thermore, they said they could not understand why Congress appropriat- ed $16,000 for public order arrange- ments they in no way desired. ‘There are only four or five physi- cally able veterans here, it was point- ed out, and no available funds. The appropriation by Congress, which they | knew nothing of until the bill provid- ing such was signed by the President, is for police protection and public Naturally you don’t want your children to eat ice cream made with “fillers”, artificial flavors or substitutes.

Kline, sr., 88, of 3811 Grammercy street, commander of the Department of the Potomac and head | of the District's only active chapter, Kit Carson Post, No. 2, declared: “No!

I'm department commander and should have heen consulted.” “It would be a fine thing,” said Fred W. Mixer, 89, of 724 Taylor street, “but we can't take care of them. The marvel is how they got that $16,000 appropriation through Congress. And no one knew about it. They didn't consult us.” The assistant adjutant general of the department, Eliasaph D. Godfrey, 1411 Monroe street, who will be 93 years old in January, also was em- phatic in his answer. His reply as to whether he wanted the G. A. R. con- vention held here in 1936 was: “No! We're not able and haven't the money. I see in the general order for the Grand Rapids, Mich., conven- tion next month there are nine com- mittees. We only have a few active men. Not nearly enough to handle the work.” Only D. C. Representative. ‘Willlam F. Dorsey, 87, youngest of the soldiers, will be Washington's only representative at the Grand Raplds convention. He lives at 3222 Twentieth street northeast. “If called on,” Mr. Dorsey said, “I| will explain our position. We just| couldn’t have the convention in Wash- | ington, the outstanding reasons being lack of finances and men to work.| Our department has only about four | active men. We hold our meetings at | the home of Mrs. Karl Pomeroy Mc- Elroy, 1412 Sixteenth street. She's an honorary member of Kit Carson Post.” “It isn’t what we'd like,” John T.| Ryan, junior vice commander, de- | clared; “The fact is we're too few and | financially unable to support a con- | vention here.” Mr. Ryan lives at 759 Seventh street southeast. ‘There are three G. A. R. posts in the Department of the Potomac, it was explained, Kit Carson Post being the only active one. It has 14 mem- bers—Comdr. Kline, Godfrey, Mixer Dorsey, Ryan, Newton Charles, F. J. Young, Charles Fox, John W. Blais- dell, Maj. Gen. John L. Klem, Henry A. Evans, John W. Leich; Eugene W. Weaver and Albert L. Woodworth. Some of these are out of the city and others disabled.
