CASALE REPLIES
 TO DRY QUERY
Will Oppose Further Restriction
 ol Peoples Liberty

Answering a question submitted to him by Emil l., II. Hohenthal, chairman of the Connecticut Prohi- bition committee. aS to what stand he would take on 'the passage of legislation for tho enforcement Of prohibition, if he is elected state senator from New Britain. Attorney $. Gerard Casale this afternoon says: ITO that l answer that If whatever legislation means further encroach- ment on onr personal liberties, l will certainly oppose 1t"
 Candidate 'casale's letter follows: "My Dear Sir:
 In your letter of the 21st inst. on prohibition enforcement you may say It is well understood. that addi. tional legislation is badly needed. if certain phases of violations are to be effectively dealt with
 You do not state, however, what is the nature of the needed legisla- tion, nor do you point out what phases of violations are not now effectively dealt with.
 "H6n further ask Will you sup port whatever legislation is neces- sary to most effectively enforce pro- hIbition7' . t"To that answer that if what ever legislation means further en- croachment on our personal liber- ties, will most certainly oppose it.
 My personal attitude on prohibi- ton is influenced largely by dictates of public policy. To preserve re- spcct for law, all laws should be en- forced to the letter. also lean to the opinion that an observance of this rule is thes best way for secur- ing appeal or amendment of unpopu- lar statutes.
 Yours truly,
 IS. GERARD CASALE."

Washington. Oct. 22.-"Dcterior- ated powder" probably will be found the cause Of the explosion Monday on board the cruiser Tren- ton, according to some naval ord- nance experts.
 Normally inert, the service charge is inclined to become unstable aft CT being subpected to high tempera- ture and under other unusual condi- tions. In such state, the powder may become ignlted by even ts= slight friction resulting from con- tact with the walls of the yoist,
 As a precaution against damaged powder, naval regulations require daily inspection of the magazine of each ship and actual tests of sam pies of the explosives stored there. These tests are designed to show in- fallibly whether the powder has changed from its normal state.
