the National prohibition act.
This will prevent any modihca-
ton OF the present prohibition act

of Wayne b. Wheeler. legislative

who revealed today in an interview
with the United Press that:
]. Congressional drys now are
massing their forces to withstand
the wet uprising which is expected
as result OF the wet sentiment in
the recent elections.
.. An effort will be made 10 take
prohibition enforcement out Of pol
tics by passage OF the bill placing
all Federal agents under civil ser
vice.

planned for Introduction in Congress

the preset law.
Wheeler declared the "wet era"
heralded by the election was large Y
a myth Investigation had deter

men and Senators who were claimed
by the vets are not vets at all.
If there was a successful candi-
date who did not proclaim himself
dry-some Immediately reached the
conclusion that he was wet" he
added. But wait until the new
Congress comes into Office and then
you will find out who is wet and
who is dry.
We expect determined fight
from the vets TO modify the Vol
stead law but am confident that
we hold the majority which will pre-
vent any wet raid

said. This is the bin which forces
all prohibition agents to undergo
civil service examinations.
Prohibition agents have in many
rases been political appointees OF

think It would benef, the present
system by keeping all agents out OF
politics.
Outside Of this we intend to do
