Washington, April 20 fp) -- The drys continued their roll call of the churches today before the senate prohibition committee and witness cs taken both from the cloth and the laic+y responded with a swelling chorus of praise for the Volstea0 act.
 With William r. Mcdowell, onr of the raHking bishops of the Meth odist Episcopal church. taking the lead, the chUJchmen declared one after another that conditions had improved under the dry regime and that the return of beer and wine would be a sorry blow to morality and sobriety,
 Bishop Mcdowell told the com mittce that the bootlegger and the law-brcaking hooze-consumer really were the plaintiffs in he suit for notifications Of tlr law. One Of the bishop's colleagues on the Methodist board Of temperance, Dr. Clarence True Wilson. added that illegal American distiHng interests were in league with foreigners 10 break down Nolstcalism.
 Hip-FlaCk Comment The law was defended by several witnesses on the charge that it has corrupted youth. Dr. Daniel A. Pol ing, head of inc United Christian Endeavor, said the hip-fasked younger generation was not so mum crous in the land as had been re- ported, and advised officers of tn" law to make the example Of tn" "grown-up fapper," rather than pro hibition. for the flaming modernism Of some American sons and daught- PTS.
 At the request of Senator Reed, republican, Pennsylvania. the tesu- mony Of the church mCl was inter rupted to permit Frederick c.
