PROHIBITION MAY COST 15 MILLION This Sum Possibly Amount to Be Asked ‘Washington, Nov. 18 UP—Officials of the prohibition unit had their turn today in the long line of gov- ernmental employes that pass each autumn through the corridors of the capitol to knock at the door of the house appropriations committee in the quest of funds. The calling of such visitors set forth estimated requirements of their respective departments for the fiscal year beginning next July 1, and the card given preference today ‘was that of Assistant Secretary An- drews of the treasury, the nation's dry chief. It represents the minimum amount ®f money with which the adminis- tration feels the prohibition enforce- ment machinery can be maintained during the next fiscal period. The sum, determined first after careful scrutiny at the treasury and then by the budget bureau, has been kept & carefully guarded secret. ‘There are indications, however, that the figure approximates the amount requested and subsequently appropriated by congress for the current 12 months’ period—about $15,000,000. This amount is exclu- sively for maintenance of the prohi- bition unit and does not take into account the funds provided for dry law enforcement through the coast guard service. If any material increase is being sought, both this and the purpose for which it would be used has been well covered by treasury officials. Mr. Andrews himself has given no indication that the enforcement pro- gram for the next fiscal period would require an fincrease in funds and there is no legislation pending in congress that would necessitate a materially heavier expenditure. Although the current appropria- tlon for the prohibition unit ap- proximates only about fifteen million dollars, tho charge has been made repeatedly by wet members of both house and senate that the day unit came in for heated attack by wets | of both houses at the last session and | there is reason to expect that the same section of the new supply bill will serve as a vehicle for extended debate when it comes to the floor of congress. President Congratulates Italian Airplane Racer Washington, Nov. 18 (P —Major Mario De Bernardi. “the flying fas- | cist,” who is taking all of Amer- jca’'s seaplane records back to | Premier Mussolini, came to ‘Wash- ington today to recelve, with his teammates, the personal congratu- lations of President Coolidge on his victory in the recent Schnelder cup races at Norfolk, Va. In that contest he eclipsed the world record established by Amer- ican races by driving the little red Macchi-Fiat monoplane provided |tor him by the Italian premier, at an average speed of 246.496 miles an hour for the 350 Kkilometer course, 248.189 for the 100-kilome- ter closed circult, and 248.025 for the 200-kilometer closed circuit.

Rescue work, nevertheless, went ahead with renewed vigor, fresh forces sent to the scenesfrom many Room Suite parts of the anthracite region flll- ing the gaps maae Dy tired-out re- lays. Mine officials believe there is but slight chance of finding any of the men alilve. The sole ray of hope is penned on the possibllity of the miners having attained a haven high | up in one of the gangways before the water and wreckage overtook them. The gap in Black Creek, which caused the flooding of the mine, has been closed and further rush of wa- ter into the workings shut off. Preparations were made today to place three emergency pumps inlo{ the mouth of the mine as soon as | the debris was cleared away. | The uncertainty and suspense had | brought about a change in the litt village of Tomhicken, nestled in the foothills of the Conygham valley. At | first accepting the situation with | stoicism, members of the entombed | men’s families last night walked the ‘ streets to alleviate their sorrow and refused to be consoled by friends. Idle men stood about the mouth of the drift and here and there were clusters of women and children with |1t tear-dimmed eyes.
