Hagerstown, Md, Feb. 21.-(AP)-
Governors who can sing the Star
Spangled Banner" are badly needed
in New York and Maryland. Wayne
B. Wheeler. general counsel of the
Anti Saloon League of America, de-
clared here in an address tonight.
Mr.. Wheeler attacked Governors

Palm Beach Censor
Says Morality Wave
Uncalled for at Resort

Palm Beach, Fla. Feb. 21-(AP)-
Connie Lewis, for years an authority
on Palm Beach morals. has declared
that the recent morality wave" is
uncalled for. The habitues of the
famous resort are said to have been
more Puritanical this year than ever
before.
For the last five years Mr.. Lewis
held the position of official beach
censor. He said his duties this year
have been less arduous than in the
past several years.
He estimated that he has elected an
average of only three bathers a day
from the beaches here. whereas in
former years he has elected as many
as ten and twelve.
He ascribed as one of the reasons
for the smaller number of violations
the lifting of the ban on flesh colored
stockings and allowing any shade to
be worn.
Last year there were so many
shades bordering on the flesh tint
that he was forced to carry a color
chart in his pocket.

Says ''Intoxicating in
Fact" Would Nullify
The Prohibition Law

New York. Feb. 21.-(AP)-The pro-
hibition amendment would be made I'M
enforceable if the words Intoxicating
in fact" were substituted for the def
milton of intoxicating liquors, Wayne
B. Wheeler. general counsel of the
Anti-Saloon League, said in state
ment issued today.
Criticizing the suggestion by Senator
Walter f. Edge that such a substitu-
ton be made by Congress, Mr.. Wheeler
said that such a definition had been at
tempted in the early prohibition laws
of several states. 1t was discarded as
unavoidable, he asserted, because 1t
made it necessary for the government
to prove in every case that the liquor
in question was Intoxicating in fact to
the person who used it.
