TREE PLANT TING
PLAN URGED

A ten.year tree planting program
has been recommended to the Dis
trict Commissioners in report sub
mitted today by the Bureau OF
Efficiency.
While no suggestion IL made as
to how the superintendent Of trees
and parlings il going to get the
necessary funds the efficiency bu-
reau does point out the need in q
comprehensive plan Of tree plant
ing.
It is suggested that trees be
planted where curbings are installed,
in newly opened streets.
Instead Of planting 80 trees to
the mile 1t II suggested that the
number be increased to 100. A sur
vey Of trees in the District In sug.
gested a. well as an annual inven-
tory Of nursery stock.
The report also calls attention to
the number Of silver naples planted
in the District but suggests that
no step be taken toward elimina-
ton Of this specie until the ten-year
program has been completed.

FIREWORKS DUE.
IN new DRY
SURVEY
BY GEORGE 4. HOLMES

The question Of how far President
Hoover's new law enforcement COM
mission should go In Investigating
prohibition threatens to provide
some fireworks at the very outset
Of the commissions work.
Oddly enough, the prohibitionistn
ana the ants are equally insistent
that the commission should delve
into It Observation-Disclosures for
totally different reasons, and with
entirely different detectives in view.
The professional drys, like Bishop
James Cannon, jr., and officials Of
the Anti-Saloon League. want the
nesses Of prohibition with the single
end Ia view sOf tightening up loose
machinery and making enforcement
more effective, with no considera-
ton at all given to the feasibility
OF the basic law. To them, the
Eighteenth Amendment and the
Volstead Law ara sacrosanct, and
not to be tinkered with, except for
the purposes Of making them more
effective.
Want Complete Verdict
On the other hand. the anti.pro-
hibitionists and good many who
might be classified as honest
doubters'' would like to see prohibit.
ton put on the dissecting table, ar !
the commission render verdict a.
to the feasibility Of the whole sys-
tenn. They want. in short, q report
ON the practicability Of prohibition
as 1t IL now operated.
In this connection it was recalled
today that Mr.. Hoover has never
expressed himself directly on the
Volstead Law. He has generally
termed prohibition AZ "a noble ex-
pertinent" that must be worked
out constructively," but at no time
as q Cabinet officer, candidate for
the presidency. or a. Chief Execu.
tive, has he definitely placed his ap-
prevail on the Volstead enforce
ment act.
He may express some definite
opinion next week when he meets
with the 0lawyers and one woman
he has selected to survey the field
Of American lawlessness. and again
he may, not. The general belief In
that he win not.
Bishop Cannon afforded an insight
TODAY into what the professional
drys hope to see accomplished by
the investigation when he stated
that the commission should not con-
Germ itself with the question Of
whether prohibition was or was NOT
a mistake, but should determine
only what educative and enforce.
naent methods are necessary to
make 1t more effective.
