Washington, ID. C.. June 22.
In an article made public to-day as
the second Of a series by the American
Legion giving history and critical re-
view of the work of the United States
Veterans Bureau. 1t is charged that
wealthy New Workers.. Vassar College
and other persons and interests have
impeded deliberately the selection OF
hospital sites in New York. The Vet
erans Bureau and the White committee
OF the bureau are excused to large
extent in the statement because OF al
legged outside and political opposition
met on locations at every turn.
The Veterans Bureau has announced
since the article was prepared the To-
cation OF a million dollar hospital at

hospitals has been standing for approx

bitter attack, Mr.. Tinkham charged
that it's funds are being used to bring
about the reelection of Representative
Volstead from the Seventh Minnesota
district and intimated that 1t Is for the
purpose of calling upon Mr.. Volstsad
for legislative support in return.
Among other things Mr.. Tinkhan
charged that the league spent more than
800, 900 900 in the time previous to the
enactment of the prohibition amend
ment. and that is has never made any
reports of these expenditures previous
to 1920, and that reports since made are
only fragmentary.
Representative Tinkham not only
called upon the Department of Justice
to indict the officials of the league, but
he introduced a bill to-day to make II
a criminal cffense for any individual
organization or corporation to contribute
TO the campaign fund of members of
Congress while interested either in the
ena ctment or repeal of legislation.
He charged that the league is pre-
pairing to repeat its practices of tine
past, The Eighteenth Amendment. Mr..
Tinkham said, was the only portion of
the Constitution adopted through the use
of money. Comparing the activities of
the league with the campaign expendi-
lures of Senator ,Newberry in Michigan
and of Clifford Pinchot In Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Tinkham said these men spent their
own money, and were not under OBJ
legations to any cne.
Says Omcials Condone 1t.
Referring to the failure of the De-
partment of Justice to act on evidence
which he claims to have submitted
concerning violations of the law by the
Anti-Saloon League, Mr.. Tinkham
charged that the Federal Government is
condoning offenses against the Federal
Corrupt Practices act. He ridiculed the
contention of the league that 1t is not
obligated to make any returns to Wash
ington for the receipts and expenditures
relating to elections of its State sub
salaries which are its real operating
agencies. He quoted a magazine state
ment saying:
"The dry forces with twenty or
more organizations and $2.000.00o
fund are out to keep dry Senators and
Representatives in Washington. and to
add to their number II possible. AL
ready they have announced their an

York. who expects to be reelected this
fall, but have intimated that Assistant

utility regula ton even more drastic than
that OF Senator Runyon.
Silzer will declare for the Bacharach
bill now pending in Congress which
would deprive the Federal courts Of
statutory authority TO regulate utility
rates within States and would return
that power to the States themselves He
also may improve on the Runyon pledge
to seek reduced utility rates by legisla
ton eliminating various elements OF
value in fixing the base rate.
The Hudson county leaders plan to
have both the candidate for the United
States Senate. Gov. Edwards, and the
canddsts for Governor take a deter
mined position against prohibition as 1t
IS now enforced. Gov. Edwards already
has done so.

Administration leaders and poll
ticians IN Washington are keenly in
terested in public reaction to the
speech made by Secretary of War
Weeks in Chester, Pa. last night
favoring the return of light wines and
beer.
No official comment would be made
to-day by Secretary Weekss col
leagues in the Cabinet. though all Of
those in Washington displayed suf-
flcient interest to enter into informal
discussion, but not Cor publication.
Representative Tinkham (Mass.)
chose the moment to launch a vigor-
GUS attack on the Anti-Saloon League.
Beyond this there was no debate in
either the Senate or the House. but
the cloakrooms were buzzing and the
Secretary was approved and con-
demned. 1t was gossiped that Sec
retary Weeks's speech was feeler to
test the real public demand for light
intoxicants.
Secretary Mellon stated that the
Treasury had no plan of recommenda-
tion for the authorization Of light wines
or beer for revenue raising purposes.
Some months ago in discussion as to
methods of raising funds to pay the
bonus the Secretary considered figures
as to the amount that would be raised
by taxes suggested. The Secretary did
not recommend authorizing wines and
beer for this purpose, but discussed the
results of such use. 1t was estimated
that $50o,000,000 year would be
raised Secretary Mellon made 1t plain
to-day that any movement regarding
taxes for wines and beers would have
to come elsewhere than from his de-
partment.
would Balk Enforcement.
Prohibition enforcement officials say
that authorization of light wines and
beers would make the enforcement
problem so big that it would be next
to impossible to cope with it.
Congress is still by a large majority
thoroughly dry, and for this reason

Secretary Weeks.

tary's speech represented the view Of
