and Senate before definitely deter
mining the character OF the cere-
mony that he desires.
The White House today informed
Senator Curtis, majority leader Of
the Senate, that the President
would take no further action with
regard to the Inauguration until he
had conferred with the joint com.

BILL
IS URGED BY
DRYS
Measure Would Create Inde-
pendent Bureau for Enforce
ment of Prohibition

The question of how muchnoney
prohibition agents should be paid
by the Government to keep them
from accepting brides was raised
today before the Senate judiciary
Committee.
The measure under consideration
was a bill by Congressman Cram.
ton Rep.) of Michigan, creating
an independent federal bureau for
prohibition enforcement Cramton
said such a bureau would aid
materially in enforcing the Volstead
Act by strengthening and co-ordi.
mating enforcement agencies in the
Treasury Department and Depart.
ment of Justice.
Tilt With Reed.
Senator Reed Dem.) of Missouri
a member of the committee, got
into an argument with Cramton
over alleged bribery and corruption
among enforcement officers.
"'Do you think there has been
great deal Of bribery" asked
Reed.
Il assume there has been some,
but 1 am not close enough to the
bureau to know how widespread ii
has been,' replied Cramton. %
Cramton said an increase Of
salaries for dry officers would help
cut down dishonesty.
What increased salary will keep
man from taking bribe?'
queried Reed.
II don't know"
"A hundred dollars?"
He Wrote Bill.
We'll. Senator, l suppose If q
man Is going to be dishonest II
wouldn't matter what salary he
was paid.
Who is sponsor for this bill?"
II am" y
shut didn't some one come to
you with it? Didn't Mister Wayne
B. Wheeler?"
NO" snapped Cramton. Il
drafted it and then went around
to see Mr.. Mellon and Mr.. Wheeler
and may add that all dry organ
izations now favor the bill"
Particularly the bill would accom-.
plish three things. Cramton said:
BETTER administration Of the
dry law by concentrating enforce
ment units.
2-Better administration OF the
tax law by relieving the internal
Revenue Bureau of it's prohibition
activities.
3--Eliminate politics by putting
enforcement officers under civil
service.
Every dry organization IN the
country favors the BILL" said
Cramton. 1t also has the approval
of Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon,
he added.
Last year more than 5000 900
gallons of alcohol was. diverted lille
Ultimately, it was claimed.
