HOOVER CHOICE
FOR DRY POST
HAS MANY FOES
Hugh AICorn Has Offended
Republican Leaders in
Connecticut.

Bv seTipps-Hoo0rd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Oct. lin
choosing a successor for Mabel
Walker Willebrandt as prohibition
officer In the department of justice,
President Hoover has been caught
in the dilemma Of pleasing organized
prohibitionists and displeasing
powerful Republican politicians.
Hugh Alcorn, states attorney at
Hartford, Conn, has been recon-
mended in the highest terms by the
drys, including the committee of
1000, which numbers John D.
Rockefeller Jr. and S. S. Kresge
among its members. The president
has found that Alcorn possesses the
qualities he wants for the job, and
vas said TO have been ready to name
him a few weeks ago.
But Alcorn has been a bitter
enemy Of j. Henry Roraback, boss
of the @. o. P. machine of Con-
necticUt. Alcorn never has played
with the regular organization.
In many instances he has timed
certain prosecutions of political and
business figures so that they jeopar-
died party success in the elections.
Appointment of Alcorn would be a
distinct setback for Roraback in his
own bailiWick.
Senator Bingham Of Connecticut
has made known to the White
House the political opposition to
selection of Alcorn for the place.
Other emissaries of the Connecticut
boss have talked frankly with Wal
Ter Newton, presidential secretary
who has handled preliminary dis
cusSioGs of the matter.
Prominent leaders of the Con-
necticut bar have recommended AL
corn. in addition to dry spokesman.
The pressure for his appointment
has become heavy. and comes from
other than prohibition circles. But
Hoover does not care to offend Rora-
back, whose political judgment is
held in high esteem at the White
House.
In a recent interview Fred Smith,
chairman of the committee of 1000,
expressed impotence over the delay
in naming Alcorn. He laid it to
the influence of Connecticut poll
ticians, most of whom are vets.

CONGRESS- READY TO FINISH WORK
Both Houses in Adjournment-
 Prepare for Vacation

Washington. June 1 R-Con- greasional leaders had a fairly clear field today to develop their plans for an All-summer recess of the spc- cial session in sympathy with the expressed desires of President Hoover.
 D Senate and house were both in adjournment over the weekend and the only meeting called was that of the joint farm bill conference com mittee. which had already made considerable progress toward an agreement on all sections in which the two chambers failed to agree except the export debenture pro- posal.
 The senate is expected 10 be call- ed upon by it's conference group to eliminate the debenture plan from its farm bill next week. and the house is prepared 10 take early ac- ton on the measure to provide for the 1930 census and subsequent re- apportIonment Of the number of represe entatives allotted to each state.
 { Although some doubt has been sX- pressed as to the willingness of the debenture advocates in the senate 10 permit elimination of their proposal from the farm bill administration leaders are counting on such action and are inclined to regard arrange ments for disposition of tariff leg islation as their principal task in

tthe-effort to comply with the presi- dents views on summer recess plans. The chief executives opinion on that subject, as expressed in re. sponse to inquiries Of newspaper correspondents. was outlined in the following statement:
 "The majority leaders, both Sen. ator Watson and Congressman Til- son. are united in their recommen- dations to me that there should he no recess in the special session until farm legislation is complete, and that there should be no recess after that except for a few weeks to ac. commodate the senate finance com mittee in its hearings on the tariff bill unless there is a completely fix ed agreement in the senate as to an early date upon which a vote will be taken on the bill. with a furfh,r F agreed period for debate on the con- ference reports. which would assure a final vote in the senate as early as possible.
 N iHtoAoSt ol tHe country OO- Vlously necessitates the rapid de- termination of'both these questions. and l am entirely in accord with their views"
 Senator Watson has tentatively decided to move for recess from June 12 to September 9, with No- Vember 9 fixed as the date for the senafe's vote on the tariff bill ard November 9 for action on the re- port Of the conference committee which will be called upon in the meantime to adjust differences with the hoase.
 Opposition to that program. how ever. has been indicated, Senator Borah of Idaho. and Jones of Wash ington, the latter assistant republic can leader in the chamber. both considering recess unwise, while some others favored a shorter ya- cation than that proposed while the fnance committee works on its re- vision of the tariff bill passed by the house
 senator Borah's bill 10 establish government licensing and regulation or commission merchants handling perlshable fruits and vegetables. meanwhile, remains before the spn- ate. lt has the endorsement of the department of agriculture, but has aroused considerable opposition dur ing the debate.
 The farm bill conference commit tee has prepared to continue in s4s- sloh throughout today if necessary to complete it's work. While no .peci- nc announcement was made to verify Such an assumption. the resump ption ot Its negotiations after the house group had walked out" rather than agree 10 any proposal which would brlng the debenture plan to a vote III iholr chamber was taken to mean 'hat The senators had receded from 'heir lnslstence on that course and agreed 10 recommend elimination Of the proposal from their bill.

Washington. June 1 M1If you avoid fatigue enjoy your work. says. Mabel Wajker. Wille- brandt assistant attorney general of the UAiteA States.
 Dsspits the fact that she. holds one of the most important positions of any woman in the country, with incessant demands on her time and strength. Mrs. Willebrandt says she seldom gets tired and has no other formula for keeping fit" except in- terest in her work.
 At four o'clock in the afternoon, the hour when most people are thinking of tea or recreation, Mrs. Willebrandt's voice is calm and con- frolled, her smile ready. Yet pres sure of work keeps her constantly on the jump.
 She never can count on rest at the end of the day or look for ward to dinner engagement. An unexpected conference, a long dis tarce telephone call, sheaf of inn portant papers demanding immedi- ate dlteHtlCHs are dpl lo upset al her plans.
 A hastily packed bag. a dash for . train and she is on her way to some. distAnt city to prosecute . liquor violation case.
 Mrs. Willebrandt wears her blond hair in little knot at the back. Her features are broad. Her whole face denotes strength, purpose. Her eyes are clear direct, searching. Her voice is low and pleasant. When she talks earnestly she leans forward in her chair talking swiftly, easily. with no hesitation for the right word. They often are long words. the kind most lawyers are apt to use. She thinks the public Is 'overinter- .ested in the prosecution of liquor cases just now. and that this merely is m inflamed condition that will paas.
 The novelty Of having . woman at the head of liquor law enforce mtnt will wear off" she says with . smile. People will turn their at- teAtien to something else. The liquor scaies are no more interesting nor do they involve 70 much work as some of the delinquent tax cases with which I have to deal, but nobody paJs any attention to those"

 should Ram6ay Macdonald be asked to form government its sta bility would depend almost entirely upon such liberal support as he could bring to it.. Various of the left wing" of the liberal party are known to favor labor regime, as opposed to a tory government. and tenough support might he gained from them to make Macdonald government function under ordinary circumstances with . majority.
 There loomed as inevitable. how with their socialist background. would be found diametrically oppos- ed to both liberals and conserva- tives, whose respective principles are much more akin. and that a mo- confidence vote on an important measure would result This would necessitate the calling of a new elec- ton in which the government ue- feated in the commons would carry its fight straight to the people. Some political observers thought that in any event this could hardly be postponed beyond autumn. al- though it was admitted depleted {, finances of the three parties prob- ably would prevent new elections before then.
 Mir. Lloyd George seemed fully aware of the power he holds. TO interviewers he said: Holding the balance of power is a very respon- sible position. We fully realize it and you can depend on it we shall make no unfair use of it. We cer- tainly shall not use 1t in haggling spirit We shall carefully consider what best may be done in the in- terest of the country. The kings government must be carried on. and in the present state of the country | 1t is essential it should be steady" For the SIS seats in the house of commons returns received for 69s were distributed as follows: Labor 2SS.
