BAR WILL DEBATE
DRY LAW REPEAL
Result Will Be Announced by
Association After Closed
Session.

Members Of the District Of Columbia
Bar Association will meet tomorrow
night in closed session at the Cosmos
Club to debate a resolution advocating
repeal of the eighteenth amendment.
Col. j. Miller Kenyon, the aSsocia-
tion's president, said the results of the
discussion will be made public. The de-
bate will center around resolution in
troduced by Grahame H. Powell, as
follows:
"It is the sense Of the Bar Association
Of the District of Columbia that the
eighteenth amendment to the Constitu-
ton. the Volstead act and all orders
and regulations for the enforcement
thereof, should be repealed, and the
subject of prohibition be remitted to the
sole regulation of the several States"
Mr.. Powell said his resolution Is not
a wet and dry question, but aims at
the control of intoxicating liquors by
1.-The several States" He contends the
United States is too large to permit the
people of any one section of the coun-
try to impose their will with reference to
domestic conduct and life upon the peo-
pie of another section. He said this
should be a matter Of local opinion. He
asserted that he favored q law which
can be enforced and which has the
backing of public opinion.
