'HEADLESS' IS TERM
 USED BY SPEAKER
BeVeridge Also ASsailS Coolidge
 as Reckless President

Philadelphia, June s GP(-Charac- terizing as an "autocratic power" the recent executive order giving local officers the powers of federal pro- Eibition agents, former United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge has sounded warning against it's reck- less use by a "headless" president.
 In addressing the historical so- ctety of Pennsylvania last night, Mir. Beveridge asserted that this power could be exercised to build and run political machine; that there had been administrations that had done that very thing" and that there would be other such administrations In the future. Should the order become permanent and general, he said. 1t would radically and fundamentally change the American form Of government.
 Asserting that the plan had been devised by a former officer of the regular army, who was now In charge of its execution. the former Indiana senator said that If this military and bureaucratic exposition of constitutional law is sound" the planners and builders Of American institutions had wrought in vain.
 Ut Is obvious" said Mir. Beveridge that If local officials can be made national officials to execute one na- tional law in particular locality, they can he made agents Of q gen. eral and centralized government 10 enforce other national laws in every locality. If careful president like our present chief magistrate would use wisely this unlimited and essen- tally aut)cratic power. headless president might use It recklessly. Such boundless authority in the un- restrained hands of certain type Of supreme executive could be employ ed 10 destroy the very reform which it is now invoked to support"
