SHIP LIQUOR SALE
CURB |SDEMANDED
La Guardia Writes Mellon
Vessels Should Be Made

Representative La Guardia. Repub-
Iican. Of New York. an ardent wet has
called on Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon to stop the announced sale of
liquor On the Leviathan. The ship. re-
Gently sold by the Government to pri-
vate interests. is now en- route from
France to New York.
Under the law" Representative La
Guardia wrote, "the department, of
which you are the head. Is intrusted
with the enforcement of the prohibit
ton laws. The prohibition laws are
national in their scope and purpose.
While q great many of us are con-
WINGED that this is q law for the poor,
but not for the rich and affiuent, yet
as long as 1t remains on the statute
books 1t is law, and some of us who
are opposed to the law demand its en-
forcement.
Prohibition has cost legitimate in
dustry In this country, to date, hun
dreds of millions of dollars. It has
cost the people Of the United States.
since its enactment, over $1,000 000, 900.
Let it continue on its destructive course
and enforce it on these American ships
even though 1t may put their operators
in the bankruptcy court.
1.-THE Government cannot disclaim
knowledge of the POSSESSION, use and
sale Of liquor on these ships. The Gov
eminent holds a mortgage of over rs
per. cent of the value of every one of
these ships. The Government is ex-
actly In the same position as the owner
of building, who knowingly permits
the violation of the prohibition law by
one of his tenants and indirectly par
ticipates in the proceeds of the boot
logging business by receiving and ac-
cepting the rent therefor.
IF the possession. use and sale of
liquor on the Leviathan is justified as
business necessity, then I submit
that the same reasoning should hold
for the operation of large hotel in
any city in the country"

/ At JEWISH CENTER
Hebrew PIaywright's Work Is
Acted by Members of
Dramatic Group.

David Pinski, noted Jewish dramatist,
was the guest Of honor last night at
an open house" at the Jewish Com
munity Center. Mr.. Pinski's play, For
gotten Souls" was acted by members
Of the center's dramatic group, and
the playwright read from two of his
works in conjunction with a talk on
THE Jew in Drama"
Ranked as one of the most con-
spicuous figures in the modern Jewish
drama movement. Pinski was born in
Russia and came to this country In
1899, prior to which he had made an
intensive study of German literature.
Among his best known works are: THE
Treasure, King David and His Wives"
The Last Jew" and THE Dumb Mes
siah."
Dividing the treatment OF his subject
Into the main headings Of the Jew as
a protagonist of drama, the Jew as a
playwright and plays by Jews for Jewg,
Mr.. Pinski outlined the development of
Hebrew drama from ancient times to
the present.
From the time when the Jews had no
stage and no drama, lacking dramatic
impulse and the prosperity to support
drama. the speaker led up to the CO.
temporary scene, where Jewish play
Wrlgnts were found active in many ma
tons in the treatment of life and ideas
from the viewpoint of the stage, not
alone OF Hebrew life and ideas, but Of
Christian as we'll.
The preponderant feeling in the evo-
luton OF drama in the Jewish con-
seriousness was in regard to its educa-
tional value, Mr.. PinSki said. With the
coming of the first actual Yiddish stage
in Russia the function of theater be-
came one of amusement, with the in
clusion of music and the spirit Of
humor.
From that phase Yiddish playwrignts
progressed to serious and intellectual
dramatic reflection Of life, the lecturer
said, more liberal in its scope and less
racial. Some Of his own works, Mr.. Pin
ski said, concerned Christian and Greek
life and themes.
The speakers first reading was from a
play OF his published in 1917, concern
ing the search for a new God. in con-
nection with which he cited Eugene
O'Neill'S play Dynamo" dealing with
the same philosophical theme. The sec
ond reading was from the manuscript
Of work in preparation. Both recita-
tons were delivered in Yiddish.
The players in Forgotten Souls" were
Helen c. Perle, Esther Bates and Irv-
ing HICKMAN.

New Photo Service Developed.
IA serious beginning was made dur
ing the year in the development OF the
news photo service. The board OF d.
rectors having unanimously recognized
pictures as news and having sanctioned
their collection and distribution as q
proper function of the Associated Press
the management proceeded with the de-
velopment of this department.. News
photo bureaus, manned with our own
staff of cameramen, are functioning at
several strategic points and the devel-
opment of the cooperative exchange OF
pictures among the. members. similar
to the exchange Of news, Is going rap
idly forward. The service Is on world
wide basis and we are keeping pace
with the developments OF picture trans
mission by telephoto, radio and other
modern methods.
There never was such tremendous
hunger for news as there Is today" said
Mr.. Cooper in conclusion. ITO my
mind. that is as it should be. The fact
that the people of this and other coun-
tries want to know what the world is
doing indicates growth. Most Of the
wars have been due to dearth Of In
