WET GROUP PLANS
FIGHT IN HOUSE
Attack on Appropriation for
Dry Enforcement Announced
as First Move.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Fresh from an attempt to weld the
scattering elements of the wet group in
the House into lever which might
throw its strength behind a definite
program, Representative La Guardla, Re
publican, New York made 1t known
yesterday that the first major offensive
would come in the consideration OF
funds for enforcement of the dry laws:
Whether this would meet the approval
of the various other members Oh the
wet wing in the House, however, was
not disclosed. The Democratic vets,
most of whom are Tammany members
from La Guardia's home State, regarded
his move to bring the different elements
together in a concerted drive as one that
had been instigated by political motives.
These did not attend his meeting yes
terday, which was held to plan cam
paign for the session.
La Guardia diSclaimed political motives
and said that he would introduce an
amendment to the Treasury appropria-
ton bill to provide $300000,000 for pro-
hibition enforcement next year. II this
were refused, he said, he would urge
$l50,000,000 or S100,000,000.
A similar move was made by La Guardia
last year when that supply bill was
under consideration, but few of the vets
Joined him in the view that If huge
amounts were provided for enforcement
there would be a revulSion of public
sentiment that would force modification
OF the laws.
Another attempt will be made on
January to bring all of the House vets
together for an organization meeting.

KINGS FARM TARIFF
MOVE BEATEN, III.
Senate Finance Committee
Votes Against Proposal
to Limit Revision.
BY the Associated Press.


The Senate finance committee today
voted down a motion by Senator King,
Democrat, of Utah, that the committee
confine its tariff revision to agricultural
products. The vote, IL to 7, against
the motion, was strictly along party
lines.
After rejecting the King motion, the
committee received a proposal that
agricultural products be placed on an
ad valorem or percentage basis of tariff
protection instead of specific.
1t was presented by Chester H. Gray,
legislative representative of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation, who said
his recommendation represented a
complete reversal of policy on the
part Of agriculture as, he argued, ad
valorem duties had worked advantage
ously for other industries and he saw
no reason why it should not be used
for farm products.

CHURCH PACT NEWS
ST|RS MEXICO CITY
Long-Standing Controversy
Believed Settled and Pope
Soon to Give Sanction.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, June 13.-Advices
from Washington indicating that actual
agreement had been reached here on
the long standing Mexican religious
controversy, and that communications
asking papal sanction to the agreement
had been forwarded to Rome, created
sensation today.
No official announcement was forth
coming, but there was reason to be-
lieve that yesterdays meeting of Presi-
dent Emilio Portes Gil and Roman
Catholic prelates merely climaxed long
months Of prior negotiations, in which
the basis for settlement had been
reached.
In well informed quarters here 1t was
said this basis was mutual consent for
a broad Interpretation Of the country's
religious laws, stringent enforcement Of
which in 1926 led to the episcopate's
order withdrawing priests from the
churches. Such. it was pointed out,
would involve concessions by both the
Mexican government and the church,
without either giving In unduly.
Quick Action Expected.
The same well-informed source said
the Vatican probably would act quickly
and satisfactorily on the terms OF the
agreement. It was pointed out as ex-
tremely unlikely his holiness would de-
lay or permanently pigeon-hole the
matter, as it was understood happened
on two previous occasions when nego-
tiations looking to settlement came to
a head.
The public manner in which the
present negotiations have been conduct
ed and the very definite affront undue
postponement might offer to the Mex
lean government were mentioned as
reasons for this belief.
Regarded as even more significant
than a formal statement was the re-
mark of Mgr Leopoldo Ruiz Flores,
Archbishop of Michoacan, to news
photographers when he emerged from
mis- conference with the President yes
Cerday.
