FENN|NG
CHARGE.

A trail Of evidence tending TO
prove that District Commissioner
Fenning violated the law in his
legal practice before the Veterans
Bureau while ! local official was
nnfoided before the House Vet
Grams Committee today.
The story Of how Commissioner
Fenning had interposed as an at.
torney in one case before the
Bureau last December and Janu-
ary was related in detail by Major
Davis G. Arnold, of the general
guardianship office, in charge Of
insane ex-service men.
Blanton Sustained
The charge made by Representa-
tive Blanton in the Richard G..
Norris case--that Commissioner
Fenning was guilty of an infringe
ment OF the statute in practicing
law before the Veterans Bureau
while a District Commissioners ap-
parently was sustained by the testi-
mony given by Major Arnold, al
though the latter declined to COM
ment on the legal aspects Of the
case himself.
Under a fire Of questions from
Representative BulWinkle of North
Carolina, Major Arnold told how
Commissioner Fenning, apparently
in deep agitation over the Norris
case, had telephoned him last
Wednesday afternoon and asked
permission to look at the papers in
the case.
After office hours, and under
cover of darkness, Fenning visited
Major ArnOId's office that evening
and had read to him various COM
municatiOns he had sent to the
Veterans Bureau relating to the
case.
Papers All Safe
Commissioner Fenning, however,
was not permitted to handle any
of the papers himself, and none of
them is missing, Major Arnold said.
A sensational feature of the hear.
ing came to light today when Rep

to prohibition endorsement, Gen.

lief that beer would be m aid

Andrews said he was not adj
voeating any change in the Vol

to any modification.

you favored changing the present

Harreld (R) Of Oklahoma.

drews' emphatic reply.
''While there is drinking at Yale
Just as any other college where

..If you could get this informa-
tion. don't you think these intelli-
gent young students could also get
the same information? asked
Reed.
II suppose So" Fisher replied.
but these boys had only "a hours
to vote in the poH and I don't
think one Of them sought the
facts"
'Don't you know Yale students
can get liquor from bootleggers
whenever they want it,"
Fisher replied that he did not
know.
Robert A. Corradini. of New
York, research secretary for the
World League Against Alcoholism.
submitted q $4,000 word volume OF
statistics, tending to show the bene-
fits Of prohibition.
When Reed asked how CorEadtni
became an expert statistician," dry
leaders at the side of the room,
leaped to their feet, declaring he
was the recognized expert OF drys
all over the world Questioned by
Reed. he said, he was paid $4,000
a year, was born in Italy; coming
here fifteen years ago, was a citi-
zen. and was employed by Wayne
B. Wheeler to get up the document.
Andrews Urged Teeth
Gen. Lincoln c. Andrews then
was recalled by the drys.
Andrews again urged the commit.
tee to enact the Administration
new dry bill, putting teeth" in
enforcement.
''I can't impress you too muGh
with the necessity that Congress
give us this assistance and an OPP
portunity to enforce this law"
Andrews also asked for legislas
ton giving the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue power to review
all industrial alcohol permits ans
nually.
He also asked power for the coast
guard to stop and search all Ameriv
can vessels.
He further asked passage Of q
bill creating new Federal judge
ships.
That's the picture I want I'd
present, showing what should be-
done and can be done to make en-.
effective" said Andrews.
These are all bills which win aid
as In law enforcement.
Andrews declared he had received
very encouraging reports in the
last few days about cooperation
from local authorities.
