WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page 1,

y
The discussion on prohibition
which has been brought up so fire.
.quently in the present session of
Congress, continues and reaches
out into personalities. It has now
reached point where one side
wants the country to know the
names of senator's and congress
men who drink privately and who
return to the Congress and speak
and vote for more rigid prohibi-
ton. One of the men who is ad-
mittedly of this type says that
drinking is a personal matter
while. his political attitude is die
tated by the wishes of his consti
tuents. Various proposals have
been made suggesting an inquiry
into the effectiveness of prohibi-
ton enforcement but nobody be-
lieves that it will go beyond the
talking stage, especially at this
time. The average congressman
has sufficient troubles in his
district without bringing up the
prohibition issue.

Andrews Called as First Witness
Before Judiciary Committee

Washington-The Coolidge admin
fstration believes the American people
are not ready to consider repeal or
modification of the prohibition act de-
spite the result of the recent news
paper polls. Administration leaders
admit that there is genuine move
ment against the Volstead act, but do
not feel that it has reached such size
as to become a party problem. A
spokesman for the administration
told the press that, although the news
paper polls showed an overwhelming
sentiment for a change in the prohi-
bition law, the pivoted states are little
concerned over prohibition in the
coming primaries and elections.
Assistant Secretary L. C. Andrews
of the treasury, in charge of the dry
enforcement organization, was sum-
moned as the first witness to appear
before the senate judiciary committee
at hearings on bills to modify the pro-
hibition laws.

that Mrs. Hodge needs to be confined
any longer" he said in granting the

Awaits Definite Figures Before
Taking Stand on Govern
mental Action.

Neutrality-suspicious. taking posi-
ton on pending farm surplus legisla-
ton, President Coolidge desires addi-
tional information as to the cost of
the proposed measure.
The President, it was stated at the
White House, has requested officials
of the treasury and agriculture depart
ments to prepare estimates of the ac-
tual cost of the bill under considera-
ton by the house committee on agri-
culture, which provides $3.50, 100000
revolving fund.
With these figures as basis, the
President may take definite position
on the bills under consideration. So
far he has refused to give his sane
ton to any bill which would put the
government into business in dealing
with the farm surplus problem.
