Montgomery. November 30.-(SpeciaI)- Reported liquor violations in the city of Birmingham and in Montgomery are .de- plored by Gov. B. B. Conner wFolin an interview in The Age-Herald states that the conditions are such as should be re- pressed by the fairminded citizens of Alabama at once. The states chief ex- ecutive admits that within the past month, since the state has taken a hand in the situation there has been allevia- ton of the violations to some extent, but he gives it as his opinion that absolute and rigid enforcement of the law would place all of Alabama's cities on a higher and more desirable plane.
 ''The conditions as reported by MT. C.. W. Austin of Birmingham are bad de- clared Governor Conner today, showing under the influence of liquor dominance that immoralties of all descriptions will follow. In all the states, in all govern ments there IS a greater disposition to protect the citizens from such influences, and to make conditions surrounding the citizens as far as possible sound and sweet. No one doubts that such condi- tions hurt every class of citizenship and pIOpeItyt dlo iiinb ib 10 thAc NNNS VI oii good citizens to see that they are re- pressed.
 Since the injunction proceedings, re- gently instituted by Attorney General Garber in Birmingham, I understand that there has been a great improvement. also understand that MT. Exum.

 The chief executive did not indulge in further comment on the situation either in Montgomery or in Birmingham, and did not touch upon the reported viola lions in Mobile. However, he is greatly interested in the progress of the injunc- tion cases from Birmingham which will be given an airing in the Supreme court of the state tomorrow. Col. A. M.
