VAUDEVILLE — AL VANN Broadway’s Young Song Writer AND HIS GANG With Mario Alvarez, Brunswick Recording Star Billy Purl Co., Fair and Clear, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THU: NEED 4 YEARS TO STOP RUN RUNNERS (Continued from First Page) “Why is it necessary to wait four years in order to secure an effective enforcement of the prohibition law against smuggling?"” the Tennessean asked. “The time limit is the limit which the necessary ships can be built and the necessary personnel obtained,” replied Billard. Under the insistent questioning of Byrns, the admiral said that “in or- der to completely stop the smug- gling of liquor from the sea—in or- der to completely stop it—the coast guard resources would have to be increased.” Failing to draw the details of the proposal from Admiral Billard, Byrns then turned to Representative Woed, of Indiana, ranking republi- can on the committee, with a de- mand that either the assistant sec- retary or undersecretary of the treasury be called before the com- mittee to give the information. Wood Against “Interference” “I do not think that you or any- body else on the committee, should seek to’interfere with the treasury department in trying to work out a scheme or plan for any purpose,” said Wood, adding that he felt the department should not be em- barrassed. Byrns disclaimed any idea of em- barrassing anyone and added that the | information should be given the committec upon which it could base its appropriations. “I do not want to argue the mat- ter here,” he said to Wood, “but I do want to say this, and 1 want to say it simply for the purpose of showing that I am not seeking to embarrass anyone. I want to say that is the reason why I so vigorous- ly favored that $24,000,000 should be placed in the hands of Mr. Hoo- ver, who will Dbe the head of the whole government and who can make his allocations according to his best judgment. I was perfectly will- ing to leave it to him.” Hoover is Brought In “Yes,” said Wood, “without re- gard to whether ed it.” “If he doesn’t want to enforce the law, he ought to want it. 1 give him full credit for wanting to enforce the law." “You had better Hoover come where us with respect to what he deaires. “And in the meantime congress will have adjourned.” “We will be in session pretty soon again.” Admiral Billard =aid legislation was needed to readjust the whole commissioncd officer problem of the coust guard, explaining that the service had only 60 officers and was authorized to have 115. Officers are graduated from the coast guard academy at the rate of about 28 a r 1 id, and temporary offic were not found satisfactory. To become a prohibition agent these days one must not only pass a civil service test but must receive a clean bill from Uncle Sam's secret sorvice on his deportment dating back to boyhood days. Deming on Dry Agents This was disclosed in testimony made public today with fhe report of the second deficiency bill to the by William . Deming, president of the civil service com- mission, who urged an emergency appropriation of $50.000 to enable the commission to employ addition- al examiners to rate tests and pass wait until Mr. he can advise {on the character of the 9,500 appli- cants for prohibition enforcement {Johs who took the tests last Decern- ber.

A. Edson, chief examiner of the commission. He told Repre- sentative Byrns, democrat, Tennes- see, that the commission had had some “sad experiences” in precruit- ing examiners. “What is your trouble doctor?” Byrns asked. “Simply,” he rcplied, “that’ it scems to us that anything that has any contact with prohibition ap- peals to a type of people who can- not be trusted.” President Deming said the com- mission had been operating under very difficult eircumstances, largely because it did not have sufficient money for the “gigantic” prohibi- tion task in the first place, ‘The work is constantly over- lapping from onc fiscal year to an- other,” he added. “In other words," observed Rep- resentative Buchanan, democrat, Texas, *“prohibition plays thund with cverything that fools with it?" “Speaking figuratively, yes sir,” Deming replied.

Kellogg, last July. The Tacna-Arica dispute had its birth in 1879 when Chile occupied the two provinces in the course of a war with Peru and Bolivia. The treaty of Ancon ended the conflict | in 1854, and provided the provinces should remain in Chilean controi for 10 years, when a_ plebiscite would be undertaken to determine | their future state, Peru maintained the Chilean gov- ernment attempted unfair national- ization of the two provinces and the plebiscite was not held, the argu- ment between the two countries con- tinuing furiously for more than 2 years. War often the nature of the conflict being such that it might have invelved nearly all of South America. Coolilge Bocame Arbiter In January, 1922, the United States government, secing the dan- gerous aspect of the situation, offer- ed its good offices. President Cool- idge became arbiter in July, 1922, and three years later handed down a decision which upheld the nec: sity of a plebiscite, fixed the north- ern boundary of Tacna, and pro- vided for a bowyndary commission to decide the southern Tacna boun- dary, or that which borders on Arica. General John J. Pershing headed a commission which was dispatched by the United States government to | the disputed territory to make ar- rangements for and oversee a ple- biseite, but the quarrel between the two ' countries was such that this was threatened, | | was never held.
