Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 16.-In his
inaugural address delivered before the
legislature today Governor Emmett
O'Nea1 declared Alabama's prohibition
laws to be an invasion of individual
rights and constitutional guarantees,
and branded the attempt to insert a
prohibition clause in the state consti-

He proclaimed prohibition a failure
and recommended a general local op-
