No Boozers Need Apbly As Sleuths Atty.-Gen. Mitchell Tells House He Wants Dry Men For Dry Jobs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (P)—It Attorney General Mitchell has his way, prohibition enforcement offi- cers will not be drinkers but—to the contrary—will be sincere believers in the Volstead Act. The head of the Justice Depart- ment, who would bear the burden of dry enforcement responsibility under the Williamson Bill being considered by the House expenditures commit- tee, revealed his views in a lengthy letter made public today. He en- dorsed the bill in an appearance be- fore the House committee just be- fore conclusion of hearings, and for- warded the expression of his per- sonal opinions a few hours later. Mr, Mitchell's views were con- tained in an answer to a private cit. ven who had culled attention to in- quiries being made by a Justice De- partment agent concerning candi- ‘dates to a United States marshal. ship. The citizen's name wus with- held. At the hearing, representatives Cochran, Democrat. Missouri, and Stone, Republican, Oklahoma, had inquired whether dry agents should not pledge themselves to abstain from Niquor drinking. Mitchell wrote that he believed “that no man who makes a practice of drinking intoxi- cating liquor or who has definite or pronounced views in oppositiun te prohibition, belongs, during this ad- ministration, in any pos having di- rectly to do with the prosecution of cuses under the national prohibition wet.”

HUNT: BODIES OF EIELSON, AIDE; FIND HIS PLANE Crosson, Gillam Sure It’s His; Blame Altimeter For Crash In Blizzard Nov. 9.

Seer ERROR sae ees NE: ae Gy Pee || Seam NOME, Alaska, Jan. 27 (Pi Searchers today dug into tightly packed snow and ice around the wreckage of an airplane 90 miles southeast of North Cape, Si- beria, in their search for Carl Ben Elelson and Earl Borland, American aviators missing since Nov. 4 Jast. Pilots Joe Crosson and Harold Gitfam who Saturday located the wreckuge specified in their report that it was the all-metal monoplane flown by Ejelsyun and Borland. Both Crosson and Gillam who landed their plane on the snew to exainine the wreckage, had flown Etelson’s plane and said they rec- ognized it instantly, Four men taken to the scene yesterday from the ice-locked trad- ing ship Nanuk in planes piloted by Crosson and Gillam explored the areuw around the wreckage in the belief that Efelson and Morland were flung out to instant death when their ship crashed 3m a blinding snowstorin Noy. 9 or were under Wreckage of BASSHNG cases near the cabin. . Dog Teams On Way Two dog teams driven by natives were on their way to the wreck from North Cape, Meanwhile the conviction was growing here that a faulty alt meter upon which Eeilson was forced to rely when the snowstorm wiped out all visibility was in part to blame for the crash. Proof that the plane was travel. ing at a high rate of speed was found by Crosson in the fact that the throttle of the ship was wide open.

LONDON, Jan. 27 (Pj)—France to- day gained a technical victory on a point of procedure for the formal ugenda of the five power naval dis- armament conference after a mect- ing of the chief delegates at Num- ber 10 Downing Street. What actually happened was that after nesrly three hours of keen discussion, the delegates endeavored to settle part of their disagreement by invoking the alphabet, and under its auspices -France, by precedence over Italy, was granted the right to propose discussion of the French plan for Hmitation of naval arma- ments by total tonnage instead of by categories of ships. This is expected to produce a compromise in the global tonnage (proposals satisfactory to ail the powers.

Lamp Will Bring Sun Inside Now. It’s Explained To Electrica Engineers By Clevelanc Man of General Electric.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27 @)—A new lamp, described as the first step toward bringing artificlal sunshine indoors for office workers, was ex- plained to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers today. The lamp is a combination of the familiar tungsten filament and a pool of mercury. The hot filament vaporizes the mercury almost in- stantly and produces a blowing va- por arc, giving Hght from three suurces, seven per cent from the stantly and produces a glowing va- por and 68 from tunsten electrodes. This light, said Dr. M. Luckiseh of the national lamp works of the Gen. eral Electric Co., Cleveland, is ‘the first practical source for stimulating sunlight which has been developed with a possible new era of lighting in mind.” “Our eyes still squint and suffer under the feeble intensities of the artifical light—one thousandth of the strength of those found out- doors during most of the day,” Among major facts emphasizing the value of sunlight Dr. Luckise said that in some places the death rate jis highest in the season when sunlight is at its minumum, o1 ghortle thepraaftar.
