SUGAR ROW
Senate Settling Over Tariff
Controversy

WASHINGTON. Jan. lo-P-
Conflicting viewpoints added zest
today 10 the senate's seething con-
troversy on the sugar tariff and
wrapped in ob5curity and definite
alignment OF votes. /,
A close watc. was maintained
for any indication Of what might
be expected when the time for
baIIotting arrives. but the best in
formed OF observers were r.!uct-
ant TO make a prediction.
AT the core Of the controversy
lay the question of how great a
duty Is to be levied against sugar
imported from Cuba. Under pres
ent law, the rate is l.76 cents a
pound and in contrast with this
figure. the house approved a rate
Of 2.40 cents. and the senate finance
committee voted for a tariff Of 2-2O
cents.

There is little or no evidence,
the report of the committee said,
that any student receiving the
QUESTIONABLE led to sexual immoral
ity or to decreased self-control in
the matter OF sex behavior on the

fore the publicity, the QUESTIONABLE
was taken for that it purported to
be, a scientific inquiry.
The evidence is in agreement on
the point that the sex matters and
sex problems brought up by the
questionnaire are familiar or known

The circulation of the question

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1o.-tFf-
Opposition from the foremost rank
of house administration leadership
today presented a formidable OBJ
stacle 10 the fulfillment Of Presi-
dent Hoover's desire for a joint
congressional committee to study
prohibition enforcement.
Chairman Smell Of the all-pow-
erful rules committee, through
which all house legislation must
pass, was sponsor for the statement
that republican leaders Of his
branch Of congress consider the es-
adjustment of the agency request
ed by the chief executive unneces-
sary.
we feel" he said, that we have
the necessary machinery already
set up in the house TO effect the
transfer Of the prohibition unit
from the treasury to the justice de-
partment, II that is what they
want. We prefer to legislate in the
regular way: TO let the regular COM
mittees handle the transfer Of the
unit"
Meanwhile, official Washington
kept an eye on the Hoover law
enforcement commission and sought
to substantiate reports that group
had become involved in a serious
disagreement which has prevented
the preparation Of a public state
ment promised three days ago. The
commission, officially in -djourn-
ment until February 5, was ignor-
ing the rumors Of dissension and
giving no indication Of how soon
us utterance would be ready Tor
publication.
The center Of Washington's tum-
ultuous prohibition enforcement
controversy has shifted noticeably
from the senate 10 the house. Con-
fined very largely through the
Christmas recess 10 exchanges
among dry" senator's and officials

cies, a heated discussion has taken
