ONLY ONE DRY
BILL kept FOR
SENATE HOPPER
Control Transfer Measure
Singled Out for Action
This Session.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Feb. 7.-Only
one of the seven prohibition reform
bills, the tariff and Muscle Shoals
are on the program privately agreed
upon by the senate Republican
leaders for the remainder Of this
session Of congress. The program
would discard until next year, the
other six prohibition measures rec
commended by President Hoover's
law enforcement commission.
It calls for adjournment of the
but contemplates, Of course, passage
of the usual government supply bills
and minor measures which will
come up.
Effects as Such
The program was worked out by
the leaders Of the various senate
groups and while 1t is not an Off
cial decision, it will have effect as
such, in view Of the existing sena-
torial situation and the practice
prevailing of permitting the leaders
to work out the legislative program.
1t probably will sidetrack
until the next session such impOr-
tant legislative proposals as rail-
road consolidation and the Couzens
communications bill.
Since the prohibition reform bills
were laid down by the commission,
1t has been obvious to the leaders
that only one, the Williamson bill
transferring prohibition enforcement
from the treasury to the justice de-
partment now before the house
could be passed by both houses be-
fore adjournment.
Face Reelection
The entire house and one third of
the senate membership are facing
campaigns for reelection and
primaries in which they are involved
begin in April. Many face fights
for their political lives and want to
get back home to get started.
After the first day of debate. it
appeared the Williamson bill easily
would be passed by the house, prob
ably Saturday.

 Telephone System
 A particular feature of these yes sels is the telephone system which has been fitted. In addition to the ordinary intercommunication system usually fitted for use of the ships personnel, every first class cabin is arranged with a telephone plug, the equipment being supplied by the Automatic Telephone Man ufacturing Company, Ltd, Liver pool. Another interesting feature of this system is that shore con- nections are provided, and as the vessel calls at so many different ports during the run it's use is very evident.
