ALIEN DRY BILL WINS
BY a Vote of 222 to 73 House
Passes Deportation Measure.
Vioiators Of Narcotic or voIstead Act
Would Be Shipped Out of u. 8. q
Under Provision OF Bill.

Washington-By a vote OF more
than three to one the House passed
and SEM of the Senate a bill author
izing the deportation OF aliens con-
victed in state or Federal courts on
charges of having violated the mar.
cotic and Volstead acts.
Described by prohibition advocates
as a step toward better law enforce
ment and characterized by Represen
tative Graham of Pennsylvania, rank
ing Republican on the judiciary COM
mittee, as "a moEstrous piece CT legis-
lation' the bill as presented by the
immigration committee stood up
against all attacks.
A motion to recommit so that the
provision relating to conviction in
state courts might be eliminated was
defeated and the measure was put
through as framed, 222 to 70.
Representative Walsh, Republican
OF Massachusetts, a member Of the
judiciary committee which wrote the
original Volstead act and who offered
tine motion to recommit, declared he
believed now as then that the en-
forcement law was made too drastic
at the start.
Warning was sounded to prohibit
tionists by many members, including
Representative Mann. Republican of
Illinois. a veteran of the House, shat
they were going too far. that there
was danger of disrupting the whole
system OF law enforcement and that
jurors would be unwilling to convict
those who ought to go to jail If 1t
also meant deportation.
