WASHINGTON, d. NOV. 23.-Ar-
thur E. Carlson aviation chief rigger
of the wrecked Shenandoah told the
Shenandoah naval court today that one
of the surviving officers of the airship,
Lieut.. c. Bauch, had told him not TO
give certain information to the court
unless it was asked for specifically.
This information which Carlson with
held when he first testified at Lake
hurst. was that fifteen minutes before
the Shenandoah broke up, he had clos
ed off amidships the internal gassing
manifold connecting the Is helium gas
cells and designed to permit equaliza-
tion of the gas in the individual cells.
Carlson testified that he stopped up
the manifold on his own initiative, be-

wine PERMITS
TO Be VOIDED
llDRY BATTLE
Andrews Seeks to Stop
Leaks to Illegal Chan
nels; Churches Agree.
to New Regulations
fBv the Associated Press. }


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 23-An
old relic of pre-prohibition DAYS has
been marked for swift end by prohi-
bit;on officials. Some several hun
dred thousand wine making permits
which have enjoyed a quiet and un-
trammeled perpetuation of life since
the years before the volstead act. have
come under. the searchlight of the new
prohibition regime and will be revoked
under a regulation to be promulgated
probably within the next day or two
The permits as issued allow a max
1mum annual production by the holder,
tax free, of two hundred gallons. They
are held largely in the foreign quar-
tiers of the larger cities and are sus-
pected of contributing heavily to the
Illicit supply. Leaks of sacramental
wine into Illicit channels also are to ps
plugged up. Assistant Secretary An
drews, the treasury's prohibition field
marshal, has reached an agreement with
Jewish leaders, whose churches are the
largest users of sacramental wine, for
new regulations, expected to be issued
this week, sharply reducing the amount
of wine now permitted to be withdraw
for religious, purposes.
Churches Of the Jewish faith were
said to have given every cooperation
to treasurv. officials in their efforts to
shut off diversion Of sacramental wine
to illicit uses, and both believe the
forthcoming regulation will accomplish
that end without hamne~'ng the .iegitj
mate requirements of the church.
Wayne B. Wheeler. anti-saloo.. lea
que counsel, took occasion to praise
these and other moves of Mr. Andrews
to cut off the illicit liquor supply at
its source in statemeu issued at the
same time that he challenged the con-
clusionn in the prohibition survey made
public yesterday by the Moderation
League, Inc. The league concluded
from a survey of conditions in several
hundred representative cities that the
Volstead act has failed utterly to ac-
complish its purpose to promote tenn
perance and sobriety."
Along with his steps to plug up the
leaks in the prohibition dam, Mr.. An
drews, in instructions to his enforce
ment corps, has carried forward his
idea of leaving the chip flaskers" to
the state and local authorities. The in
structions were given in letter to the
administrators which was not made
public here, but which is understood
to have informed them there appeared
no necessity of subjecting motor cars
and small boats on inland streams to
wholesale inspection, and to have car
ried the warning that only on illegal
probable cause" should they be stopped
for that purpose.
