ASK DRASTIC change
TO TIGHTEN DRY LAW
Prohibition Bodies Propose De-
porting Alien Bo0tIeggers and
falling All Others.

Neutrality-suspicious. prohibition
and temperance organizations in the
United States have not yet placed
before Congress an affirmative pro-
gram of legislation they would like
to see enacted, it is known that such
a program has been drawn up and
will probably be suggested in various
bills introduced by members friendly
to these associations.
The Board of Temperance, Prohi-
bition and Public Morals of the
Methodist Episcopal Church has al
ready laid out a definite list Of
changes it would support, some Of
them drastic.
The suggested plan includes the
following items:
1. An endorsement of the Cramton
bill. The board says prohibition en-
forcement is now headed "by a man
who is generally understood to have
been in the past financially interested
in whisky distilling." Even eff other
wise, he cOmprehends within himself
all of the virtues, graces and abilities"
Mr.. Mellon should be relieved of this
work, the board says, and the Pro-
hibition Commission should be re-
sponsible to the President alone.
2. Changing that magnificent
piece of legislation" the Volstead
Act, by furnishing all offenses against
it with prison sentences, by adding
penalties against speeding by boot
leggers, and by Furnishing severely
the use of smoke screens to blind the
eyes of pursuing legal officers.
3. Ratification Of the proposed rum
smuggling treaty with Great Britain.
This treaty on the British side is the
direct product of the indignant re-
monstrance of British citizens acting
in sympathy with complaints from the
United States says the board, which
claims that rejection of the treaty
would be discourteous and unwise.

NEW YORK, DecS 6.-Curb prices bounded upward in the early part of today's market and then reacted in sym pathy with heavy selling movement on the "big board"
 Heavy profit taking by professional traders was noted in the oil group, H. linois Pipe broke points, Standard Oil of Ohio and Vacuum, Prairie oil and Gas, South Pennsylvania and Gulf sold off to points.
 Radio shares responded favorably to reports of unusually large Christmas sales. Dubilier, Hazeltine and Ware each gained a point, while Thermiodyne reached a new high figure. Other indus trials were mixed. Lehigh Valley Coal, the most active feature, climbed about points to 44h and the net gains of 1 to points were recorded by Continental Baking preferred, Curtiss Airplane, Lackawanna Coal and Silica Gel cer- certificates. Ford Motors of Canada, Dunhill International, National Tea and Yellow Taxi of New York were heavy.
 Public utilities also displayed consid- erable irregularity, a gain of nearly 8 points in Commonwealth Power and 2h in American Gas and Electric being counteracted by drop of 2k points in American Power and Light common and q point in Middlewest Utilities.
 The feature of the bond list was the heavy trading in Standard Gas and Electric, which improved fractionally.
