HARDING'S STAND ON
 DRY ENFORCEMENT IS
 APPROVED BY "WETS"
By Associated Press

Washington, November s0.-In- dorsement of President Harding's stand for stringent enforcement of the prohibition laws as long as they remain on the statute books was given tonight by W. II. Stayton. founder and national executive head of the Association Against the Prohi- bition Amendment. Although the Presidents stand leaves the forces of the government committed to a losing struggle, he said in a formal state ment: "A way out will be found through the initiative of Congress it. self in amending the volstead act
 President Harding's position is thoroughly logical and in complete keeping with his clear recognition of the responsibilities as we'll as the Limitations of his high office" MT. Stayton declared There should be no occasion for surprise In our hearty and unqualified indorsement of his stand. for 1t represents most defi- nitely the precise position our entire membership has taken. namely. re- spect for and submission to all the laws of the country. so long as they remain on the statute books.
 Tt is for Congress itself, acting in response to the will of the people to effect the necessary changes in legis- lation that enable the President to maintain his position and yet rescue him and the whole executive ma chinery from the intolerable condi- tion in which they are now hopelessly entang1ed.
 That this will be accomplished through the initiative of the next Congress in effecting wholesome notifications of the volstead act, we have every reason to expect"

 Negotiations have been under way some time between the city and county health departments and the state department of health. looking to the establishment of the branch. offer was made " the state depart ment several months ago. Acceptance was retarded however. on account of the disarranged condition of the local laboratory, caused by the halt ing of repairs started q year ago.
 The state department exacted as prequisite to the placing of the branch laboratory here that the city should complete these repairs. Re- gently the city commission voted S9000 for resumption .ind finishing of the remodeling, and the work is now being done.
 For while it appeared that the state department. wearied with wait Ing for action hy the city would withdraw it's offer. One of the as- sstants that had been placed in the Birmingham laboratory. Miss Lenore Chambliss was recalled to Mont gomery, and Br. I. F. Bowling, health officer feared that the city and county would lose tho states offer.
 Mrs. Mary Eehois said Thursday. however that she had recently talked with pr. $. ". Welch, state health officer, and it was said that in view of the progress made by the city, the department would hold the offer open. As soon as repairs are completed. which will be in about a month, 1t is believed that the state will take final steps toward placing the branch laboratory here
 Already nearly Sl.000 worth of equipment has been received and in- stalled. This was received more than month ago, but had not been unpaeked owing to the unsettled con dition of the lahorateryis status. The equipment includes an electric germ incubator two baths and centrl- fuge,
 After the branch has been finally established. the state will furnish $5,000 in equipment and assistance. This will be available not only for state use, but also for use of the city and county health departments
