BROOKHART HITS
j. S. COURTS LAX|TY
Senator Would Call on At
torney General for Survey.
Mellon Scored.

Senator Brookhart of Iowa charged
Yesterday that the Federal Courts were
lax in enforcing the prohibition laws
and said that If no one else did so he
would call upon the Attorney General
to make survey of the way they
handle liquor cases.
Speaking at the Georgetown PreSby-
terrain Church, the Iowa Senator said
that when a Federal courts docket was
overloaded with liquor cases it was evil
dent that the court was failing to do
its duty.
"If court will impose the proper
penalties" he said, Its docket will soon
be unburdened.'
Brookhart also directed his criticism
to Secretary Mellon, who, he said,
should be removed from office. He ad-
vocated an investigation into the is
Suance of domestic liquor permits and
border patrol work.
In regard to the latter, Brookhart
said that he had found the border pa
trolled largely by immigration and GUS
toms officials and that the force was
entirely inadequate.
Yet" he said, when we gave Sec
rotary Mellon $500o0,O00 for patrol
work on the borders he said he didn't
need it,

AIRPORT PLANS
DISCUSSED

will the Washington Airport
be a District airport or a no
tional airport like LeBourget?? ."
This was the question discussed
by L. F. Williams, chairman of
the aviation committee of the
Washington Board of Trade, last
night over local radio station
Williams gave an outline of the
difficulties facing the proposed
construction. and the one para
mount in his mind is the peculiar
way the District is governed. He
SAID hat the Federal Government
mad the right unqueStionably to
condemn land to erect Federal
buildings, but he did question the
right to condemn property and
turn 1t over to the District for
Its jurisdiction.
Williams stated that the loca-
tion of the airport should be
close to the business section ct
the city. He said that the board
mad approved the plan to put an
airport at Gravelly Point because
IL believed that the investment
would show ample returns to the

Divorces inAustria
Are Showing Big
Increase

- VIENNA. Dec. 4 U.NS.I.-
The number of divorces granted
by Austrian courts increased
ten times during the last forty
years, and more than four times
in the last ten years, as shown
by recent official statistics
About $500 marriages were
dissolved in 1929, 1,400 in 1918
and only $50 in 1890.
The data concerning the di.
vorces by duration of marri-
ages show that marriage is
mostly endangered between the
second and tenth year Of its
duration, while only four per
cent of the divorces were
granted to couples married for
less than a year, and eight per
cent to such married for more
than twenty years.
