PROHIBITION SAFE,

Safety League Not Alarmed by
 Drive on Congress.
BASSETTE RAPS MAYOR
"PaoncsSe Pretty Wet" He Declares Will Keep Eve On Connecticut Legislation And Fight Any Modi- iCation Move,

That legislation intended to bring about the return of beer and light wines is doomed, is the opinion held by the Civic Safety League of New Britain, according 10 Buol E. Bas- s"tto, spokesman of the organization, today.
 Lack of public sentiment 10 sup port the movement and inability 10 muster up sufficient strength in congress to put across the campaign arc given as tho prime reasons for the lcague's forecast.
 So lightly is the campaign taken and so in,ffectual does the local or ganiz1ton believe 1t will be, that no votes Of opposition have been taken and none are contemplated just now, Secretary Basscttp reports.
 Wilf Watch state Legislation
 However, should there be an at tempt 10 bring the question of beer and wine before the Connecticut legislature the league will at once launch campaign to convince the legislators that the movement is un- desirable, Mr. Bassctte assures.
 Statements by men prominent in churches and welfare work, but who nevertheless are not experts on pro hibition, have been injudiciously ut tered and have been seized upon and made capital of, Mir. Bassctte eX- plains. but can be productive of lit- tlo.
 The league Is satisfied with the progress of prohibition in New Brit ain. Every year there is more indi- cation that this city is willing to ac- crpt the dry regulations imposed by the lth amendment, the league be- lievcs, and complete enforcement is certain to result. Mr. Bassette to- day praised the police for their CO., operation in putting down the demon rum. "But," he added, Mayor Paonessa is a pretty wet mayor
 Chief Justice Wheeler, leader ot , inc dry forces in Connecticut, will be , the speaker at the annual banquet , and meeting of the Civic Safety League which will probably be helt this month.
