VETS CHALLENGED.

Or. A. A. Barton. of Kansas City,

told the committee that the Baptists
Of the South ARE unit" against mod
ification Of the Volstead act. He
urged that Congress enact the admin
istrstion bill for Tightening up enforce
ment.
Challenging statistics OF the vets
that drunkenness is as prevalent now
as before prohibition. DR.. Barton said
there were more arrests proportion
ately because the police were more
vigilsnt now than in the days of the
saloon.
He also disputed statements that the
prohibition law is making criminals
out of many citizens. and gave it as
his profound conviction that tthe
American people are unaltersbly COM
mitted 10 prohibition.
The right of Congress 10 direct a
referendum on prohibition was chsl-
lenged by the witness, who said there
was no provision in the Constitution
for such action.
DR.. Barton presented telegram
from the Rev. !. X. Williams, of
Chicago. embodying a resolution of
the National Negro Baptist conven-
ton, supporting prohibition. Sena-
tor Reed objected and gave notice
that if the telegram went into the
record the vets also would put in
some kilograms.
The committee sustained the 90,

what, if any, verdict it had reached.
This, officials familiar with court
martial procedure explained, was
merely the courts delicate way of

PENDANT with the utmost courtesy per-
MISSILE under naval regulations.
Dismissal from the service is the
maximum penalty assessable under
