sought to curb the governor s
power in the Boulder dam fight.
After lengthy controversy over
the matter. Senator Betay, Santa
Cruz, suggested that action On tie
measure be delayed until more de
tailed study of reports of the pres
cnt river commission had been

STRAIGHT PARTY
line BATTLE ON
PROHIBITION FUND
Democrats Trying To
Force Larger ApprO-
priatiOn.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
aited Press Staff CorrespondClt)

Omitted Press Staff CorreSpondClt)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The in
teresting picture of the Democrats
trying to force more money on the
administration for prohibition en-
forcement and the Republicans re
fusing to take it, was drawn IN the
senate today when all wet and dry
lines were dropped for straight
away partisan contest over the issue
The Republicans want an increase
of only 81, $50, 900 for extra prohibi-
ton activities next year and as they
have control of a ma jority they are
expected to prevail in the fight over
the pending first deficiency ap-
preparation bill.
The Democrats want to make the
Republicans take $25,OOO,0O0 saying
the federal government is not en-
forcing prohibition in their states
particularly in the south.
Involved in the dispute is some of
the animosity engcndercd over the
issue in the recent presidential cam
paign. Both wet and dry Democrats
are ioined in the battle for the in
crease Will l. both wet and dry Re
publicans are generally in accord
that the increase is unnecessary.
The Republicans say the expected
Hoover commission will iron out en-
foreement difficulties and that there
is need now for only about $780,
600 to be used largely in educational
work. Any large increase would
ieopardizc the budget, they contend.
The issue already has taken up
five hours Of debate and several
hours more will be required before a
vote is taken. Meantime the naval
cruiser building bill is languishing
on the table. Republican leaders
have become worried because the
pending appropriation bill and some
others which are ready for consider
alton are going to monopolize the
attention of the senate for the next
few days, thereby further postpon-
ing debate on the naval measure.

ed with the asserted "pay off man.

1 wouldn t leave Asa Keyes fol any
thing in the world Rettinger said
the elder Getzoff replied to his wife
and son, Dave Getzoff.
Both Getzoffs are under indict-
ment with Former District Attorney
Keyes and three others on charge
of conspiring to give and receive
bribes.
Rettinger testified that Jacob
Berman, who turned states evi-
dence against Keyes and five others,
complained bitterly that Ben Getz-
off was doing nothing for him IN
return for money he assertedly paid
to gain acquittal in the Julian case.
81 won't pay You another cent
until YOU do something for me, - the
witness said Berman told Getzoff.

testify briefly after Rettingcr and
then either the rev. "Fighting
Bob" Shuler or Harold l.. Davis,
