WOULD SHORTEN
and MODERNIzE THE
10 COMMANDMENTS

New York, June 21-(AP)-Re-
concentrations that the word "obey"
and the promise Of the bridegroom to
endow the bride with all his worldly
goods" be stricken from the marriage
service, together with the optional
adoption by the clergy of a shortened
and modern form Of the ten COM
mandments, are urged in the fourth
report of the commission on prayer
book of the Episcopal church made
public today. The Fit. Rev. Sharles
Lewis Slattery, bishop coadjutor Of
Massachusetts, is chairman Of the
commission.
The report, which is to be sub
mitted for approval to the forty
eighth triennial convention of the
church at New Orleans october to
IS, recommends the elimination from
the book of common prayer Of the
Institutional paragraph Withholding
from the unbaptized and excommun-
icated persons the right of the burial
rites.
The commission recommends the
substitution of modern phrases for
obsolete verbiology and the change
in certain services to lend logical
continuity to the entire book.
Though the proposed changes were
approved after a long debate at the
Episcopal general convention at
Portland, Ore, in 1922, church laws
require that amendments to the
prayer book be ratified by two sue
cessive general conventions. If ap-
proved at the New Orleans meeting,
these changes will become perman-
ent.
The suggested shortened form Of
the ten commandments omits phras-
es regarded as supplementary and
explanatory. The. mandatory form
form proposed by the commission
would demand, in third command
ment, "Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord. thy God, in vain," but
omit or leave to the discretion of
the individual clergyman the explic-
atory phrase ''for the Lord will not
hold him guiltless who taketh His
name in yain."

keep SECRET new
DRY ENFORCEMENT
PROGRAM Soon ON

Washington, June 21.-(AP)-
Plans for the long expected reor-
ganization of the federal govern
ment's prohibition enforcement sys-
tenn have been worked out by AS
sistant Secretary Andrews of the
treasury and have received presiden-
tial approval.
Announcement of changes to be
made is looked for in a day or two
Meanwhile, complete secrecy sur
rounds the new. program, officials de-
clined to comment tonight, and
there was no indication whether re-
placement of any officials was con-
templated, nor whether the program
provided only for changes in me-
thods.
Mr.. Andrews held a lengthy con-
ference with the president yesterday
but refused to discuss the meeting
1t was disclosed today, however,
that his visit was for the purpose OF
laying his whole enforcement pro-
gram before the chief executive and
that as Secretary Mellen already
had done. he gave 1t full approval,
When Mr.. Andrews took over the
job of assistant secretary of the
treasury in April, there was a gen.
eral shifting of assignments among
the treasury executives and he was
made field marshal of the various
enforcement agencies, with super
vision over the prohibition unit, the
coastguard and the customs service
He said at that time that he had no
intention of effecting changes until
he was thoroughly acquainted with
his job and then would alter the en-
forcement methods only to achieve
greater efficiency.
Since Mr.. Andrews took charge
their have been frequent rumors
of a change in the Office held by
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
but the treasury has replied each
time that no change was contem-
plated. No one would talk about
this phase of the reorganization to-
night.
The assistant secretary is known
to be well satisfied with the coast
guards work and has frequently
complimented its personnel for the
effective steps taken against rum
runners. His view on the coast
guard, however, were said in some
quarters not to preclude changes
there that would result in better and
closer coordination of its activities
with the land enforcement agencies.

MANY TAKE LAST
LOOK AT FACE OF
Sen. LAF0LLETTE

Madison, Wis, June 21.-(AP)-
Wisconsin paid impressive tribute to-
day to Bob" LaFollette as his body
lay in state under the great vaulted
dome of the capitol.
From noon until night persons
from every walk Of life came for a
last look upon the features of the
man who had dedicated his life to
line that mounted the state house
steps in columns of twos and passed
single file on either side of his bier
were men and women, old and young,
children and even babies in arms.
Only the slow shutting Of feet, and
now and then a sob, disturbed the
silence as the tide of humanity flow
ed through the rotunda. Many of
those who came had to wait an hour
or even more under a blazing sun be-
fore they might reach the state house
steps. but there was never show
of impotence.
Tears coursed the cheeks of many,
men as well as women, as they looked
on the face of the sleeping senator.
Peace was written there. The only
lines were those Of a gentle smile.
The casket rested under rays OF a
subdued light that stole down from
the narrow glazed window set high
in the curve of the dome. A bank
of palms and flowers was its back
ground.
When at last the huge, bronze
doors at the one open entrance to
the state house had been swung shut
the body was moved back to the
governors reception room to remain
until the hour of the funeral services
Il o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Besides the thousands who passed
through the capital, unnumbered
others visited the spot in Forest Hill
cemetery, where, tomorrow, interment
will be made.

TO MAKE CHANGES
IN HANDLING ALL
alien PROPERTIES

Washington, Juno 21--(AP)--
Sweeping changes in the administra-
ton Of million Of dollars in cash, Sc
curities and real estate, seized from
enemy subjects during the war and
now held in trust by the United
States, were announced tonight by
Frederick c. Hicks, alien property
custodian.
AS an economy measure and to ia
cilitate the handling of the trust
funds. all former enemy securities
now administered by private banks
ing institutions for the government
will be placed in the federal reserve
banks and all income accruing on
them will be collected directly by the
alien property custodian and deposit
ed in the treasury.
Through this Capitalization of con-
troll over seized funds and property,
Mr.. Hicks said, a tremendous saving
In effort and money will result. Adj
Judication OF claims will be expedit-
ed, he added, so the office can average
800 instead of $50 month, as at
present. while $150,000 will be sliced
from its budget and many other in
direct benefits derived.
Under the new plan, such funds as
are Of dormant nature will be in
vested in government securities and
In acting as depositaries for seized
securities the federal government will
make direct deliveries to successful
claimants and transact all other BUSH
ness now performed by private insti-
buttons. The private depositaries
were said to number at one time APP
proximately $50 in various parts of
the country.
Mr.. Hicks said the private institu-
tons are entitled to great credit for
their cooperation with the alien pro-
perty custodian.
To prevent the payment by the
government of excessive attorneys
fees, which are included in the paw
ment of claims, he declared, closer
scrutiny will b egiven hereafter to an
claims.
