DRY FIGHT LOOMS
ON SENATE FLOOR
Renewal of Long Battle Over
Liquor Is Expected at
Present Session. !
Nv thu Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A renewal of the 10-year-old con-
troversy over prohibition is in prospect
for the present session of the Senate.
Ten measures dealing with the dry
laws have been introduced, and others,
intended to carry out President Hoover's
desire to tighten up enforcement OF the
liquor law and to make Washington the
model of city law enforcement in the
Nation" are expected.
Among the measures already intro
duced the one that has aroused the
widest interest is the proposal of SEN
ator Sheppard, Democrat, Texas, that
the purchaser of liquor be made equally
liable to punishment with the seller.
Wants Early Consideration.
Sheppard said today he planned to
urge early consideration of this bill by
the judiciary committee. 1t is certain
to arouse a storm of controversy ii 1t
reaches the Senate floor.
Improved enforcement of the prohi-
bition law in the District of Columbia
is the purpose of a bill to be introduced
by Senator Howell, Republican, of Ne
braska. He said today that his meas
ure in general would provide the equiva-
lent of State enforcement agency for
the City of Washington.
At present, he added, the District of
Columbia is compelled to depend on the
Federal Government for enforcement,
while most of the States have both the
Federal and State enforcement agencies.
Another measure dealing with prohi-
bition enforcement in Washington Ia
expected to result from suggestions TO
be submitted by the Department of
Justice to the Senate committee on the
District of Columbia.
Capper Looks to Mitchell.
Senator Capper, Republican, of Kan
sas. chairman of the committee, said
today he was looking to the department
and that Attorney General Mitchell had
promised to submit suggestions.

years to familiarize himself with the
situation and to build up the party ma
chinery. Usually the national chair
man who must run national campaign
is selected after the nomination for
President has been made. In other
words, man new to the organization is
suddenly pitchforked into It's leadership.
This necessarily is a handicap. In the
last decade Mr.. Huston has had wide
political experience. He was very active
during the last campaign and aided ma
terially in the development Of the cam
paign which carried the border States
and broke the solid South" in the in
terests of President Hoover. He Is said
to be a warm personal friend of the
President and he was strongly in favor
of his nomination prior to the Kansas
City convention last year.
Should old-timers on the national
committee for any reason balk at the
choice of Mr.. Huston, 1t might be on
the cards for a change in the cabinet
to bring about the election Of q new
chairman Of the national committee.
At present in Mr.. Hoover's cabinet
there are at least two gentlemen emf
nently qualified to take the chairman

War Department, who managed the
Middle Western and Western campaign
last year, and Postmaster General
Brown, who has long been recognized
as one of the most astute politicians in
the Republican party. One halls from

The splendor of starry skies, sung BY
innumerable poets in the so centuries

BILE spectacles. it appears, in comparison
with what we would see were our earth
attached to some Of the other suns that
exist in the solar system. In our part
of the universe stars are relatively
scarce. The nearest one, for example,
is so far away from the earth that
light needs more than four years to
make the journey. There are places ir1
the visible universe, however, where
stars are gathered into closer groups,
called star clusters" Discussing in q
recent announcement Of the Astronomj-
cal Society of the Pacific the natures OF
these star clusters, not unlike sWarrns
of gigantic bees flying through space
DR.. Robert j. Trumpler of the LICK
Observatory points out that II mankind
had happened to come into existence
on q planet inside one of these clusters
, instead of being attached to a sun outs
side all of them, our skies would disclose
the incomparably grander sight OF q
half hundred or more stars more bril-.
liant than our present brightest one
Sirius, or the Dog Star. Perhaps in
some age long distant In the future the
motion of our sun through space will
bring us inside one Of these star cluSs
tiers and redecorate our skies with hum
dreds OF thousands Of brighter orbS, red,
blue, yellow or white. But that, IL 1t
ever happens, is probably millions Of
years ahead, since no nearby star clus-
ter is visible in the direction In which
the sun is believed to be moving.

The answer to this was printed on

This elected from Jim the Subjoined
