WASHINGTON, Feb. ia new
era in prohibition will develop
within ten years, with the United
States automatically becoming &C
clinated to the complete abolition
of intoxicants, according to Repre-
sentative w. H. Sproul, dry Kansas
Republican.
Sproul told the United Press
prohibition never would be 100 per
cent effective, as no laws are OBJ
served to the nth degree, but that
in the next few years enforcement
laws will be strengthened and, SIM
ultaneously, public sentiment will
swing to absolute temperance.
1.-THE change will come through
education and development of senti-
ment," he said. Those now wet will
see Improvement in law enforce
ment, will witness the benefits from
temperance and become indorSerS of
prohibition.
1.-THE new generation will know
little of the old-fashioned saloon.
Temperance will be Taught in
schools and churches to build up a
citizenship in favor of prohibition. .
Sproul recommended:
/. Improvement of the Volstead
act, requiring accumulated fines and
jail sentences sufficiently substan-
tial to deter law violators,
2. Legalize the search of any
building or dwelling for intoXicants,
manufactured, sold or stored for
private use.
"Seventy-f1ye per cent Of the
population would now vote for pro-
hibition if the issue was put to- a
I referendum" Sproul continued.
"The government, however, never
can turn the enforcement work
over to the states. 1t must continue
the leadership in dry work and also
/ increase the court machinery so as
to provide speedy convictions for
violators.
Enforcement activities should be
transferred from the treasury to the
justice department as the activities
link together.

Phil Diana, Who Boasted He
 Would Revenge Pal, Killed

Brooklyn, N. r., Dec. 6 UP)- Phil Diana, young gangster who has been operating on the fringe of the big shot racketeers and who rashly, boasted that he would settle with the killers of Frankie Marlow, died in a Brooklyn gutter early to- day. a victim of gangland tactics. Detective Fitzgerald of the Brook lyn police said that Phil always carried two guns. but he was un- armed when his body was found. There were two bullet holes in the head. Apparently he was shot and dumped from an autOm obilc, for q woman in the ncighborhood said a car had passed slowly through the street shortly after midnight.
 Diana's real name was Sylvester Graiusso. He was 2G and a friend of Frankie Yale, the racketcer who was killed in Brooklyn last year: of Al Caponc of Chicago. and of Mar low, who was taken for a ride and slain last spring. Diana recently returned from a trip 10 Philadel- nhia, where he attempted to see Caponc, serving q years sentence in jail there.
 After Marlows body was found Diana boasted that he knew the killers and would attend to them himself. Phil was wounded while attempting to put over racket among the longshoremen two years ago.
 Two flashy diamond rings, a gold watch and S200 were found on the body.

Tariff on Hides

Eleven national farm organizations sent q COM
municauon to members Ct the senate urging a tariff
c7 hides. They reminded the senators that millions
of farmers, dairymen and s;ockmen are asking for
duties on cattle hides and calf skins. They declar-
60 that adequate duties on hides viii be al once ef-
festive In raising and stabilizing the price in this
country, "as we now import annually some 100000
pounds Of cattle hides and about 100000 pounds
Of calf skins.
They denied that the big packers would control
the tanning industry and even the retail price Of
shoes. They furnished the figures. They said only
two packers. Swift and Armour. owned tanneries.
That the four largest packers slaughter about 90
per cent OF all cattle slaughtered: that ~. only IS
Per cent OF all hides come. from the Big -Four
packers and only two Of The Big -Four are In the
tanning industry.
Senators are reminded that thera are $50 other
packers whose houses are under federal inspection
and hundreds Of small packers and local butchers
not under federal protection. As for the II farm or
ganizatiors. their leaders ask the placing Of a duty Of
8 cents q pound On green hides and 10 cents o pound
on dry hides.
Texans in the livestock industry are interested
Texas is the leading livestock state. Those who are
opposed to a tariff on hides say that the wearers Of
shoes are entitled to free hides and that's where
the rub comes in
Foreign crude is on the free list why not place
q tariff on foreign crude as well as q tariff on hides7
Texas is a hide producing state, Texas leads IN the
production Of petroleum. If the tariff Is the thing,
why not pass it around2
