DRY LEADER MAKES PLEA
FOR PROHIBITION AGENTS
Wayne B. Wheeler Points Out That
Enforcement Officers Run More
Risk Than Soldiers.

The $240 bonus allowed government
employees under the present law will be
restored to the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill by the Senate
appropriations committee, it was learned
today. Senator Warren, chairman of
the committee. which is now holding
hearings on the bill, said that he knew
of no opposition in the committee to the
restoration of the bonus.
Senator Kenyon Of Iowa. another
member of the appropriation committee.
also expressed the opinion that the
bonus would be carried in the bil when
it is reported TO the Senate. The JUS
tice OF giving this bonus to the govern
ment employees, he indicated, was be-
yond question in view of the present
high cost of living.
Smoot Sure IL Will Be Allowed.
Senator Smoot of Utah said that the
$240 bonus would be allowed the gov-
ernment employees.
II have NOT the slightest doubt that
the bonus will be carried in the bill
when it is reported TO the Senate" he
said.
Hearings on sthe bill, which carries
the salaries for neerly all the govern
ment employees in the District of CO.
lumbia, were underway today before
the subcommittee of the Senate appro-
priations committee.
Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti
Saloon League appearing before the
Senate subcommittee today. urged an
appropriation of s7.500.0eo for the en-
forcement of national prohibition. The
House appropriated S7,lo0,060. The
''drys" are asking for $500, 600 more,
the full amount requested by the pro-
hibition enforcement bureau.

This is needed. Mr.. Wheeler con-
tended. in order to care for the pres
