HOOVER NACCED
BY DEMOCRATS
ON DRY SURVEY
Demand Made That Special
Commission Report on
Prohibition.

Bp ScriDDs-HoDdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-De-
mands of Democratic drys that the
Hoover law enforcement commission
submit a preliminary report on its
prohibition inquiry is causing en-
barrassment to the administration
desire TO remove this controversial
subject from the forum Of political
discussion.
Whereas President Hoover had
hoped to distract attention from the
prohibition study by having the
commission make a canvass of en-
forcement of all laws and crime
conditions, the insistence on state
ment Of the groups prohibition find
lngs has showed that question into
the spotlight.
The attempt to make it appear TO
be only a small part of the COM
missions general work seems bound
to fail, if Senators Glass and Harris
press their resolutions for report
to congress. Unless such report
is made, the Democrats threaten
to withhold funds for continuing the
life of the commission.
Would Hush Prohibition
During the presidential campaign,
the President sidetracked the prohi-
Dition issue by promising an investi-
cation. But when the appropriation
measure carrying funds for the in
quiry was under consideration,
Hoover asked that the scope of the
study be broadened into a general
canvass of crime and punishment.
1t has been his aim to relegate
prohibition to a less sensational
place in the peoples thought and
talk.
Doubt of the ability Of the COM
planning dfys to block the inquiry
was removed when it was learned
that no funds VIII be forthcoming
after next June. The bill creating
the commission appropriated $780,
900 for the fiscal years 1929 and
1880, but additional money can be
obtained only through new legisla-
ton. There have been reports the
Wickersham group expected to re-
quire several years for completion
of it's work.
Must Wait Final Report
Under the original law, however,
congress has no right to ask for any
report until the final survey has
been made. The bill specified that
the President shall report the re-
suit of such investigation to the
congress, together with his recon-
mendations with respect thereto"
If this Is interpreted to mean no
report can be submitted unless &C
companied by presidential state
ment, Hoover can plead that he can
make no suggestions on the basis OF
an incomplete inquiry.
The drys' meaSiness is said to be
due to their fears of a critical state
ment of fact as much to their an
tagonism to the commissions star
chamber methods. Officials who
have testified before the investiga-
tors are understood to have de-
Scribed lax condition of dry law
enforcement.
Chairman understands Sugges-
ton to the Governors conference
that states undertake the task OF
local enforcement, while the federal
government handle only national
problems, did not allay professional
prohibitionists'S suspicious.

peaceful means to terminate Russian

JUNIOR TENNIS TOURNEY
 IS STILL IN PROGRESS
Handful of Youngsters Stands Out .tS Possessed of Genuine
 Ability to Play Game

New York, Dec. 2S [P-The ma tional junior and boys indoor tennis championships have progressed far enough now to indicate that a hand full of youngsters stands out above the rest as possessed of genuine tennis talent and ability.
 Whether or not any of the young players now doing their stuff on the hardwood courts of the Seventh Regiment armory ever will scale international heights, it is certain that such racquet -swingers as Will liam Jacobs of Baltimore and Sidney Scligson of New York in the 1unior division; and Frankie Parker, Mil Waukcc, and Bernard Friedman, Philadelphia, in the boys class. have possibilities for Q bright tennis fu- turo if they continue improving.
 This annual experiment in flu tures' now has reached stage where 16 players still remain in the running for each of the singles crowns. The junior affair is for youths under 19 and the boys, for youngsters not yet 1G.
 In the opinion of Clarence IT, Low of New York, once q tournament player and always tennis en- thusiast it is only by starting the younger generations at tournament play early in fife that the United States can regain the Davis cup.
