What to do. with the $4,000, 900
prohibition appropriation, providing
this sum. eventually is authorized
by Congress-. is getting considerable
speculative attention from high
Treasury officials, 1t was learned to-
day.
With the 21 900 pending dry cases
in the Federal courts made by the
present enforcement machine or
about 5000 men, one official said
facetiodsIy that three times the
appropriation should boost the un-
tried cases to at least $4,000 In
three ye4rs.
As to such funds as might be
allocated by the President to the
Coast Guard and customs there is
no doubt how they would be EN-:
ployed. Officials said the customs
border patrol would be expanded.
port forces increased and personnel
and equipment of the Coast Guard
would be built up to cope with
smuggling.
New Ships and Planes
III sufficient funds were available
| the Coast Guard would junk some.
| of the obsolete destroyers doing duty
as rum chasers. and they would be
| replaced by cutters effective both
| in the blockade and in life-saving
| operations. The Coast Guard air
1 plane fleet would be increased. Air
| planes probably would be made a
| part of the customs service equip
ment, as they would be valuable In
/ connection with the border patrol
The extra millions for prohibition
| enforcement proper, however, fur
nisfes a puzzle. United States at
| torneys more than once have urged
prohibition administrators not 10
bring in additional cases unless they
4 involved major violations.
The prohibition service probably
/ would be given q fleet Of airplanex.
Some; sort Of educational program
/ to teach the public the advantages
slof avoiding the bootIeggers might
be arranged. In all probability the
i Government would seek to show the
public the harmful character of the
liquor available on the bootleg mar
/ ket Officials did not appear en-
thusiastie as TO this form Of educa.
| ton. however.
"Dry' District Seen
There is a growing belief that the
new administration may take steps
4 to dry, up the District Of Columbias
making the National Capital q
| model from, the enforcement stand
i point. Additional funds would be
needed but officials said that should
the Government change its policy
and go into the police business 80
! far as prohibition is concerned,
Washington could be made COM
partively dry in q short time.
Bootleggers are numerous in the
District. There is q large avail.
4 able supply of liquor III the form
OF alcohol from Baltimore ard Phila-
4 leIphia, as well as an apparently
unlimited stock Of corn and rye
from southern Maryland
Commenting on the national re-
/ suits OF an intensive campaign on
/ the available liquor supply and DIS
| tribufion systems. some officials
said Ii simply would drive Saany
persons to home distilliug. In q
majority Of States householders who
make liquors for their personal use
are comparatively free from Federal
/ interference. owing to the fact that
search warrants are not readily OBJ
taflable except on evidence Of com.
nlercial violation Of the law.

TESTIFY IN COAST GUARD
trial, OVER RUM KILLING

Federal court yesterday. Drew de,
clared that the code of the Coast
Guard permits It's members to use
.any force deemed necessary in the
fulfillment OF orders. He said the
coast guardsnlen were stationed on
Lewiston Hill with orders to stop
all cars approaching from the direc-
tion OF Canada, but that Hanson
had ignored the signal Of an up.
lifted revolver lighted BY flasllight.
Judge Hazel asked IL the men
were not supposed to call to the
drivers, and the, witness said no, the
signal was Sufficient. He admitted
that oyeralls and sheepskfn coats
hid their uniforms but declared that
their caps indicated their business.

SEGRAVE IS DUE
WITH RACER

LONDON, Jan 4.-fI.N. ST.
Hoping fol, q minimum average
speed OF 240 miles an hour, and
with the avowed intention of reach.
ing at least $50, Major. II. .. ~
Segrave, the famous English racing
nlotorist. Is leaving for the United
States on JalAlary 80 or 81 to at-
tempt 10 wrest the automobile speed
record from America.
It has taken more than a year to
complete Major Segrave's new carr,
THE Golden Arrow which is de-
scribed as a marvel of automobile
engineering. Driven by 8. 1000
horsepower engine, the car ~ ex.
pected to attain q speed never
equaled on earth before.
The Golden Arrow enabraces an.
tomotive innovations never used be.
fore. Chief among them Is d cool
ing system, consisting of ia specially.
constructed Ice tank behind the en-
gine, through which water Is thrown
by two mammoth radiators. The
latter are sluns on either side of
the body, extending from just over
the front wheels TO the rear wheels.
The car is cigar-shaped. and built
on the lines of the super.mafine
SIS seaplane in which the Schneider
cup was won in 1927.
The machine was constructed to
Major Segraye's physical diInen-
sions. There are two propeller
shafts and a special gear-box con.
tanning the differential The Gluten
IS operated by mechanical power.
Major Segrave win sit in the
center OF the car with the steering
wheel in dead center. There viii
be direct steering controls to each
OF the front wheels. AT the front
&c the hood is a sight, designed
after the sight on a hunting rifle.
The driver will train his eye
through this sight in order to
keep the center of the track while
travelling at terrific speed.

A compromise movement was
under way today which may re-
suit in Congressional enactment Of
4 drastic deportation bill aimed
primarily at alien gunmen, racket
eers and big bootleggers.

calendar for year. but not acted

purpose OF working out the com
pfomise.

promise is effected the way VIII

measure. -
Defects Stated
Both Representative Johnson CRl
Of washington. chairman OF the
House Immigration Committee. ana
Representative Dickstein Dl Of
New York, leader of the minority
opposing the present bill. agree
that legislation is necessary 70
remedy the defects in the deporta-
ton laws.
The minority, however. has
opposed the present bill. chiefly on
the ground that it would open the
way for the deportation OF aliens
convicted of minor prohibition
offenses. would put unjust hardship
upon aliens who are eommltted 70
insane asylunas and in some instances
permit deportation after an immi-
grant has raised a family IN TINS
country.
The minority has demanded that
deplorable offenses be limited gem
orally to crimes Of moral turpi-
tude," which do not include ordi-
! nary prohibition and narcotics law
violations.
Somewhat Involved
Under the proposed compromise
only those aliens convicted Qf Of.
lenses involving long prison sen
tences. in addition to those guilty
of moral turpitude," would be de-
portable.
Tie deportation bill Is bound up
with efforts to repeal the national
origins clause, which would change
the whole basis of alien quotas on
July /. I.
The Senate committee on imml.
grafton is. scheduled to consider re-
peal of the national origins clause
this week, while restrictions on
the House committee have indi-
Gated that they would oppose re,
peal unless the deportation bill
Is passed.
