URGES FORMATION
OF NEW LAW GROUP
Daniel c. Roper Tells Radio
Audience His Views on
Dry Enforcement.

Creation Of q national council ON
law and order as one means of fairly
enforcing the eighteenth amendment
was recommended by Daniel c. Roper,
former commissioner of internal reve-
nue. in a radio address given under the
auspices of the District of Columbia So
ciety, Sons Of the American Revolution,
last night over Station WJSV.
The President can further emphasize
the Importance Of law enforcement Mr..
Ripper said, by giving notice that he
viii not appoint to Office any person
who is not sympathetic with the en-
forcement Of all laws and can continu-
ously stress the Importance of appoint
ing the highest type Of officers for pro-
hibition enforcement.
He can at frequent intervals remind
officers of what is expected OF them in
Vigilence and effectiveness. thus con-
vincing both officers and the public that
he Is III dead earnest about giving en-
forcement u fair show MIR. ROPER
added.
Urges National Conference.
I'm line with this vigorous program
he can call into u national conference
the governors Of all the States and
Plan for their corporation with the
Federal Government. Such confer
ence could develop national council
on law and order. co-ordmated with
State councils planned along the educa-
tional lines pursued III war time by the
National Council Of Defense.
Through the State councils the gov
errors could arouse State law enforcing
officers, better coordinate them with
the Federal officers land at the same
time, through the State and Federal
councils, the people could be awakened
and brought into step behind q con-
Structive program"
Through such an endeavOr, Mr.. Roper
pointed out. the State Department could
be prompted to work out treaty ar
rangements with foreign countries. es-
pcrially with Canada and Mexico, with
a view to discouraging their eXporta-
ito Is Of liquors.
atter coordination OF the customs
and prohibition officers OH national Dor.
ders was urged by Mi. Roper. On the
part of the Attorney General, he de-
clared, there should be frequent con-
ferenceS with Federal judges, United
States marShals and district attorneys
for the purpose of establishing greater
uniformity and effectiveness in the pun
ishment of offenders.
Need for emphasizing respect FOR the
law also was stressed by Mr.. Roper.

ATLANTA. Ga, March 19.-tP)-
Battle against possible epidemics n
the South'S flood-ridden area, and
the gathering together Of funds for
general use in relieving flood sUf-
ferers occupied southern states to-
day. Last night in Alabama a
movement was started for a spe-
cial session Of the legislature to APP
propriate funds for rehabilitation.
This morning Mobile had raised
$4,000 Of a proposed $4,000 fund;
Montgomery had raised $4,000; the
Atlanta city council started a $50
900 fund with a donation of $4,000.
Two newspapers and a radio sta
ton at Tampa r actively engaged
in raising money. In every instance
the Red Cross has charge Of the
campaign for relief funds.
Anti-toxins Of all descriptions are
arriving on every carrier into the
stricken area. William Dekleine,

Red Cross, is in active charge OF

tives. The Salvation Army has is
sued an appeal extending through

POTATO PRICE
FIXED
Movement Still Small; Cab
bage Holding At $40
With Light Loading

A price of 81 f. o. b. for potatoes
was fixed by the directors Of the
Rio Grande Valley Potato Growers
at their meeting Monday, and this
price is expected to be maintained
throughout the week, association
dealers paying growers $3.50 per
hundred.
Approximately Is cars of pota-
toes will be shipped fro mthe VAL
ley this week, according to growers
and shippers estimates. The de-
mand is good and there is little
competition from other producing
points. Heavy movement Of pota-
toes will get under way next week.
Cabbage price is still holding
around $40 per ton at all Valley
loading points, and shippers are
taking a more optimistic view Of
the situation as a result Of the light
er loadings over the weekend and
Monday. Florida cabbage loadings
also have been reduced, only %
cars moving from that state Mon
day. Shippers express confidence
that the price can be bolstered up
to SIS or $40 per ton If the crop
can be marketed in an orderly man
ner.
Brownsville shippers today were
quoting $3.50 to the growers for
green beans, and S1.00 per ham
per for squash. Both Of these COM
modities are beginning to move in
increasing volume, but no straight
car movements have been report
ed.
There has been practically no va
ration in the prices for beetS and
carrots, Notwithstanding the load
ings the past two weeks have
smashed all previous records. The
demand is holding fair to firm, and
growers are receiving favorable
prices.
