 As the fight over the proposed
 Ship Subsidy Bill was renewed in
 the Senate Commerce committee
 today, Senators McNary, or
 Oregon; Willis of Ohio and Len
 root of Wisconsin, three RpubIi-
 can members joined in a decIara-
 ton that it was "highIy improb-
 able" the measure could be en-
 acted in its original form.
 The three senators were insistent that some restriction be placed upon the boards use of the revolving fund for payment of subsidies to private concerns over ten year period.
 Others on the Republican side also were opposed to the President in his insistenCe that the board be free from Congress during the proposed ten year period.
 Chairman Jones of the Senate Go G- merce committee, and other admins tration spokesmen, declared, how ever that the President was tentire- hdence his position would be support ed by a large number of Republican senators.
 Chairman Jones admitted there was a general disagreement among the committee members over the bill as it came from the House, as well as over it's original form, but he said he was hopeful of reporting it in the Senate before the week end.
 As the committee now stands, 1t is tied or deadlocked-Seven Republi- cans, Jones, Nelson, Minnesota; Fer nald, Maine; Calder, New York; Edge, New Jersey; Ball, Delaware and Weller Maryland and one Demo- crat, Ransdell, Louisiana supporting the administration-and five Demo- crats, Fletcher, Florida; Sheppard, Texas; Simmons, North Carolina; Dial, South Carolina and Caraway, Arkansas-joining McNary, Lenroot and Willis in their opposition.

'|DRY'' LAW
 BURDEN TO
 ENFORCERS
Daugherty Urges Con- gress to ReOrganize Legal Machinery to Aid in Prosecution of Volstead and Other Statutes.

Washington Dec. 7.-AttornCy
 General Harry Daugherty told
 Congress in his annual report to-
 day that a complete reOrganiza-
 JfOn and expansion of the gov
 ernment's legal system is inevita-
 bIe if the criminal laws and other
 statutes are to be enforced.
 Problems rising under the No1Stead act and the anti-naTcOtic act and oaher law endorsements have placed a tremendous load on the Department of Justice, the attorney general said. while this burden was declared to have been further increased by the failure of local self-goveTnment' in some parts Of the country.
 "The insistence Of the citizens of those conmunittes,' Daughtrey said, that the federal government per form that function in which the local government has failed and frequently in matters where there is concurrent Jurisdiction between the state and federal government, makes it dtffi- cult to establish a. policy as to the extent to which the federal govern ment should take jurisdiction.
 ''Dhe existing procedure for the removal of Q defendant to the juris- diction where the crime was commit ted Is unduly cumbersome and results in delay and injust' ce."
 Dry Force More Efficient
 A steady increase in the number of eases under the prohibition law dur ing the past fiscal year was noted in the report IhiS was attributed to the Increased efficiency of the off, cers charged with the enforcement of this law
 Discussing his prosecutions of war frauds the attorney general said "'the preliminary Investigations have indf- cated that in many of these cases there was both civil and criminal lia- bilfty and that intricate questions of law and of accounting were involved, outstanding attorneys and expert ac- countants and eng; neers were en- ployed in order that the interests of the government might be properly protected"
 Substantial results have been ob- tained," Daugherty declared ''bur furthermore a detailed report at this time is deemed inadvisable for the reason that disclosures might impede the work and prejudice interests Of the government and of individuals as we'll"

It is q significant fact that the ten.

symbol of bygone wars. During the re-

real meaning Of cooperation or commu'

people of a town or village were
brought together in common fellow.
ship and work for the first time IN
their experience. That community
spirit ignited under the forced heat
of war has famed into such a steady
light that the people do not want
to see it extinguished in time Of peace.
AS the most effective way to preserve
and perpetuate this community spirit,
there are hundreds Of plans consum-
mated and In the making, to have the
war memorials erected assume the
form of community buildings, where
all Of the people can meet together
for music, art, and social service. Tab
lets, flags, war trophies and all the
other mementoes Of war, will be pro-
yfded, but in addition, there will be
facilities for public gatherings and the
keeping up Of that close cooperation
of all the people, so successfully start
ed during the war.

But the environment Of City Hall
